The #TPLF Information War is shifting! The field of struggle is shifting away from the battlefield.
1. #TPLF is losing the war on many fronts and this is happening while #Ethiopia is training hundreds of thousands of militiamen from all over Ethiopia...
....Once theses militiamen join the war, there is nothing that is going to save #TPLF from catastrophic annihilation. For #TPLF and their backers, time is running out.
2. With #TPLF transforming itself into the aggressor & with what happened in Kabul there is little if not no appetite from the USG to invoke R2P and help #TPLF militarily.
3. The repeated defeat of the #TPLF cause at UNSC, means there is no way the UN can apply meaningful pressure on Ethiopia.
4. Knowing that the horse they backed is losing badly in the battlefield and could soon be annihilated, the US/EU/UK coalition is changing its tactics. They know that they have been badly damaged as neutral brokers of peace.
5. The choice is between an Ethiopian-led peace process and an African-led peace process, since any process that involves US/EU/UK/UN is a nonstarter for Ethiopia. This bloc knows very well there is no way they can influence the Ethiopian-led effort and are working against it.
6. The so-called call by 'African intellectuals' against an Ethiopian-led peace process coupled with a new initiative by SAHAN to paint a picture of Ethiopia as a regional pariah are parts of a concerted effort.
7. #Ethiopians need to be acutely aware of the changes in the parameters of the Information War and also beware of Trojan accounts and publications that start out as pro-Ethiopian and morp over time.

@wdavison10 of @CrisisGroup:
'the Mechanical Turk' of #InformationLaudering

1/ Davison is an employee of the @CrisisGroup, a New York based organization that claims to work to "....prevent wars....& ...build a more peaceful world."
@CrisisGroup claims to be an independent organization but a cursory examination of their finances tells a different story. A very different story!!
Their biggest nongovernmental donor is Soros' Open Society Foundation (nothing to look here)
49% of their funding (19 mill USD) actually came from government grants. And who are these gracious countries? The Netherlands (5.9 mill), Canada (3.5 mill), Norway (1.5 mill), Sweden (1.03 mill). Other funders include EU (2.7 mill), France, Finland and Ireland. 🤔

Black Bodies and White Newspapers
[#TPLF #ChildSoldiers #MSM]

1/ In July @nytimes described #TPLF #ChildSoldiers as "motivated young fighters" and now @guardian guardian has followed suit with their most recent coverage of the conflict in Ethiopia.
Many #Ethiopians and independent observers are enraged by the portrayal of #ChildSoldiers in the MSM. The refusal of the 'International Community' to unequivocally condemn this exploitation of Tigrayan children has been baffling for for many.
2/ The western world has been objectifiying black bodies for the past 500 years. Look at this pictures of black Africans naked and chained like wild animals or with hands chopped by the soldiers of their Belgian masters, taken by white photographers.

#TPLF & #Genocide, a love affair, 1991-2021

1/#TPLF came to power in 1991, in the eve of the Yougoslavian civil war and genocide. It was against this backdrop that it started reshaping #Ethiopia into an ethnic federation.
The constitution that remade Ethiopia into an ethnic based state was ratified in 1994, while bodies were floating down Kagera River. While genocide was being facilitated by identification cards that advertise your ethnicity, #TPLF decided to enforce the same rules in Ethiopia.
2/ #TPLF institutionalized animosity between the Amhara & the Oromo which it tended to for three decades. #TPLF always portrayed itself as the only group that can avert imminent bloodshed between the two groups and the disintegration of #Ethiopia.

Reintroducing #TheMasterplan in time for new year

Whenever the West plans to destabilise a certain region or regime, they mobilize the MSM, AO and HR groups in a concerted manner.

1/The media will start a campaign that prepares the ground for future interventions...
...while swaying public opinion towards the needed direction. They start labeling the government as #totalitarian if not elected, and #populist if elected. Terms such as #genocide #EthnicCleansing #famine would get bandied around. They cultivate a new "reality" on the ground.
2/ Aid organizations would join the chorus and paint a picture of impending humanitarian doom. From one day to the next the number of people facing famine grows in leaps and bounds. The talk shifts towards #unfettered humanitarian access and humanitarian corridors

New Thread: #HumeraMassacreDebunked

Let's debunk the #FakeHumeraMassacre once & for all! @nimaelbagir @berhe_lucy

1/ On July 22 the GOE issued a statement warning, that the #TPLF is transporting dead bodies of its fighters from Afar towards Mekele to stage a fake massacre...
On the face of it this looks like quite a suspicious and rediculous allegation. To start with, how are the #TPLF going to get the body to Tekeze without decomp setting in?
We got the answer thanks to @nimaelbagir|s experts, "the bodies had all been exposed to some form of chemical agent after death, leading to a process which had effectively preserved them before entering the water."

1/@telegraph is back with one of the most egregious hatchet jobs journalism has witnessed in recent time, courtesy of @berhe_lucy. telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…
2/ In the article @berhe_lucy tries to overwhelm the senses with gory but ultimately unsubstantiated details of limbs getting chopped off & eyes gouged, so that the reader's critical mind is temporarily offline & receptive of claims that can't pass even a cursory critical glance.
3/ I ask the esteemed readers of the Telegraph to bring their critical mind back online. After a few paragraphs filled with outrageous claims of 'atrocities' & 'concentration camps', @Telegraph itself admits that they "could not confirm these accounts" independently!....
