1/ There is nothing to fact check or debunk in this CNN article since this is clearly a hit job. I was surprised neither by the sources (the usual #InformationLaundering clique) she used nor her conclusion.

2/ I was not even surprised by the her scanty coverage , rather non-coverage, of the PMs rebuttal to the story through @BilleneSeyoum (three lines!! of which only two words were direct quotes from @BilleneSeyoum to be exact).
3/ Rather, I was surprised by the vitriol of the piece! By the thinly veiled disdain!
Which begs the question, why are so many in the Biden admin and their media acolytes so irked by PM Abiy and by extension today’s #Ethiopia?

4/ Beside other geopolitical issues, I am convinced that this is because they see the PM and by extension #Ethiopia as the "uppity n***r" of HOA. Whatever their political leanings, these people are products of a racist culture.
5/ @elizamackintosh as a white American woman is a product of a culture that considers black people who dared to vote, to get wealthy or dress fashionably and speak eloquently as "uppity," she and by extension White America just can't tolerate such rhetoric from an African.
6/ A black African nation that dares to challenge America's wishes is unacceptable. Essentially, they are telling him and through him #Ethiopians to "know your place and sit by the corner."

7/ Fortunately, this is not America. This is #Ethiopia and we are a nation of "uppity n****s." We never sit at the back of the bus. We never did and never will!
