As the #UNGA headlining global leaders debate is about to begin, @POTUS/@JoeBiden speaking shortly, smart observers have their eyes on #UNGAEthiopiaCrisis - an issue which is threatening to divide the rich North West from the poor global south, especially Africa.

Yesterday I posted a thread on @USAmbUN's #UNGA briefing to media on U.S. Priorities for #UNGA76.
The questions raised in the CNN piece are general, but the specific issues around a novel new unilateral sanctions regime announced by @JoeBiden on Friday are very specific.

The Ethiopian PM @AbiyAhmedAli's response to @JoeBiden has resonated throughout Africa - published in full by numerous African news outlets - but largely ignored in Western media. There were no media questions on Ethiopia in @USAmbUN's presser Friday.

@AbiyAhmedAli @JoeBiden @USAmbUN This response in particular has resonated, especially among young Africans.

The core agenda items in the 76th #UNGA are:
1/ the question of Western support for a swift global COVID vaccination rollout (so far piecemeal) and;
2/ agreement to a 100bn financing program for climate change mitigation and adaptation. While EU has committed, the US has not.

Anyway you look at it, the stage is set for a very dramatic #UNGA and what happens around #UNGAEthiopiaCrisis is going to be a major part of this, even if the main MSM channels haven't yet woken up to this reality.
