"The Ethiopian Government is obstructing humanitarian aid and personnel, including land convoys & air access."-@PowerUSAID
This is an absurd accusation from someone who will never learn from her mistakes. It is #TPLFTerroristGroup that is blocking convoys.1/5 #SamanthaIsWoyane
"Humanitarian workers continue to face entirely too many hurdles to make aid convoys happen. They have encountered unacceptable delays at multiple checkpoints"-@PowerUSAID
If they don't have anything to hide, then they shouldn't be worried about the searches. Hiding weapons? 2/5
@PowerUSAID "We have seen an increase in troubling and harmful rhetoric coming from the Ethiopian Government against humanitarians."-@PowerUSAID
Another bogus accusation to spread disinformation. You are saying this because you want to politicize everything & weaponize aid. Wrong again. 3/5
@PowerUSAID "Fuel deliveries, electricity, telecommunications, and banking services must all be immediately restored and maintained"-@PowerUSAID
In your next statement don't forget to ask the Ethiopian government & people to pay the salaries of #TPLFTerrorists and also weapons for TPLF? 4/5
@PowerUSAID "All parties must end hostilities and commit to a negotiated ceasefire."-@PowerUSAID
You were mocking the ceasefire the Ethiopian government declared. Why didn't you ask #TPLFTerroristGroup to respect it then?
Every time Ethiopia wins, western politicians, bureaucrats & fake organisations come up with false allegations & disinformation. Most of these ridiculous allegations come out from @PowerUSAID of @USAID or @JosepBorrellF of @EUCouncil or @amnesty & @hrw 1/5
These false allegations will thus be picked up by the usual suspects in the western media who are often prepared in advance as part of conspiracy to taint Ethiopia’s name. Then we see the likes of @AP@Reuters@CNN@BBCWorld & others spreading the allegations as a news item. 2/5
The pundits in the name of ‘Africa experts’ stationed from Nairobi to London, Washington to Cairo, Brussels to Johannesburg and many other places jump in to comment and spread the allegations & disinformation further and give the allegations social media presence and trends. 3/5

On Friday 29th January 2021, The Middle East Policy Council held its 103rd Capitol Hill Conference virtually.
One of the speakers of the event was Ambassador Jeffrey Feltman, Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa.
Full video here👇🏾 1
Although the event was about the Middle East, #Feltman wanted to start with what he referred as ’ the alarming developments in the Horn of Africa’ as he is convinced that there is a very strong connection between the Horn and the Middle East. Agree with him on the connection. 2
#Feltman thus discusses Ethiopia. He says, “Ethiopia's population alone is more than 4 times that of pre war Syria. 110 million people in Ethiopia. Conflict in the Horn could make Syria look like child's play by comparison.”
We disagree. Ethiopia & Syria are totally different. 3
