This has got to be the worst propaganda video ever. Especially the bit where you can hear someone screaming in the background as if they are being tortured.
The Generals all look really sad. And they keep apologising to the parents of all the dead.
.@AsstSecStateAF Mary Phee. This is the military leadership of the TPLF. They are on their last legs.
This war will soon be over and the IC needs to be in a position to help with what comes next. Sanctioning Ethiopia for ridding itself of a secessionist rebellion will not help.
And where is General Tsadkan?
It seems he also released a video - translation of the substance:
Surely a new offensive against the Legitimate govt of Ethiopia by the TPLF on the day of inauguration is sufficient to end US Government and UN support for them.
On Friday September 17th the US President announced a new set of unilateral sanctions specially designed for peace making. Demanding that “all parties” to the conflict in Tigray enter negotiations without preconditions.
The report doesn't say this. But it is widely believed Abdiwahab was abducted by Kenyan police/security forces at the request of Somalia PM @MohamedHRoble. Roble who recently met with the UK PM @BorisJohnson and FM @DominicRaab recently had his powers suspended by @M_Farmaajo.
@MohamedHRoble@BorisJohnson@DominicRaab@M_Farmaajo The abduction came during the middle of a power struggle between President Farmaajo and Roble, precipitated in part by an unsanctioned visit by Roble to Kenya to meet with President Uhuru Kenyatta to discuss an imminent decision from the ICJ on a maritime boundary dispute.
@JemalCountess@AnnGarrison Baltimore's @JemalCountess is on a field reporting trip to Ethiopia's Amhara Region which was invaded by TPLF forces in mid July, and parts of which remain occupied by their forces today.
In this IV he talks about the war, the occupation of UNESCO World Heritage site Lalibela...
@JemalCountess@AnnGarrison .. the 1 million+ traumatised IDPs in South Gondar Amhara Region and their horror over U.S. support for the TPLF.
IDP witnesses stories about what is happening in Lalibela are chilling. Lalibela has been fortified like Monte Casino was in WWII.
Cyclone Shaheen-Gulab (meaning: Falcon-Rose) is making landfall in Oman right now. In this animation we can see how its outflows are bringing rain to the Horn of Africa.
Two animations follow showing the development of Shaheen-Gulab over the past 48 hours, into what looks like a well organised powerful storm. This animation begins on Friday night and runs for 24 hours.
And this one starts yesterday afternoon and runs till about half an hour ago. #ArabianStorms [@Arab_Storms]
The 2nd day of protests in Addis accompanying an Oromo cultural festival. Included raising flag of a banned terror group in Meskel Square. It appears there is an active campaign underway to disrupt govt swearing in on Monday.
“Neftegna” is a name associated with killing Amhara.
Awol Allo is a journalist who sometimes receives air time on international media channels who supports Oromo separatism.
A week ago this video was released oh what appears to be a graduation parade for OLA fighters. The OLA announced a military alliance with TPLF in August. google.fr/amp/s/www.voan…
