Thread on Alex de Waal: Reinventing the Truth one article at a time!

1/ If @martinplaut is the #InformationLaundering-in-chief, then Alex de Waal of World Peace Foundation is the Napoleon of #InformationLaundering.

2/Alex de Waal traces back his ties to the #TPLF to 1988, when he 'accidentally' met with Meles & co in the back of a truck smuggling him into #Ethiopia from Sudan.
The relationship between #TPLF & de Waal is a match forged in disinformation hell. ..

@WorldPeaceFdtn

..He has been advocating for#TPLF for four decades & also since he rechristened himself as Executive Director of @WorldPeaceFdtn in 2011. Alex de Waal is the most loyal enemy #Ethiopia ever had!!

3/ Since November 4, de Waal has been cited as an expert on #Eth in at least 40 articles & has written 20 opinion pieces that accuse the GOE of genocide & man-made famine. He has also composed 23 posts on the WPF blog Reinventing Peace where he regularly reinvents the truth.

@BBC

4/ One of de Waal's top consumers is the @BBC. He has penned 4 opinion pieces & is quoted in two articles [remember @vivnunis?]. In another article for the @BBC de Waal waxes lyrical about Tsadqan, calling him a 'rebel mastermind.'

@AlJazeera

5/ @AlJazeera also published 2 hit pieces by him. Unsurprisingly, one is entitled "Ethiopia is falling apart, but Abiy still has a choice." He also wrote opinion pieces for @guardian, @TheTelegraph__ & @FT calling for financial and quasi-military intervention against #Ethiopia.

@Reuters

6/Other major outlets that featured de Waal as an expert #Ethiopia include, @Reuters (3×), @nytimes [2x by @declanwalsh & @MarksSimon] & @wsj (2x). @ap [Cara Anna], @VOANews, @voxdotcom, @NPR have also have also been de Waal's partners in his campaign of #InformationLaundering.

@EthiopiaInsight

7/ de Waal is indiscriminate in his choice of peddlers for his disinformation. He works with diverse outlets ranging from @EthiopiaInsight to @arabnews to @WPReview [7 articles citing him] As long as you are against Ethiopia, de Waal is for you!

@allafrica

8/ 'African' outlets also cited de Waal (a 68- year-old white man from England) as an 'expert' on Africa!! De Waal wrote 4 pieces critical of #Ethiopia for @allafrica, one of which was an obituary for Seyoum Mesfin, whom he eulogized as an " Ethiopian peace maker & patriot" 🤷...

@TheAfricaReport

...@TheAfricaReport published 1 opinion piece by him & 4 articles featuring him as an 'expert' and @africaarguments [remember the 'call by African intellectuals' ?] also published an opinion piece by him.

@WorldPeaceFdtn

9/ In a cruel irony, de Waal, a man who eulogized Seyoum Mesfin as a 'peace maker' and lionizes Tasdqn, who leads an army of child soldiers to their slaughter, as a 'rebel mastermind' is the the Executive Director of @WorldPeaceFdtn @TuftsUniversity!

@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

@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. 🤔

Thread/Rant

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?

@nimaelbagir

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."

Thread

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…

@berhe_lucy

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.

@Telegraph

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!....
