The protest in Addis to support regime that is blockading its own people, refusing cash, food & medicine to Tigray ( US & UN confirmed this claim of blockade) will have an appreciable effect only in supporting Abiy in some areas of #Ethiopia. #Thread reuters.com/world/africa/r…
The protest shows that Abiy has some support among some segments of Ethiopian population, such as Amhara. The protest, however, will not defend Abiy Admin against forces fighting for self-determination & refusing to bow to centralized dictatorship. ENDF lost the war to TPLF/TDF
The same thing happened in Somali region in 1977, when Somalis defeated ENDF to allow Somalis to exercise the right to self-determination. #Ethiopia was able to regain #Somalia west/“ eastern Ethiopia” with help of Russian & Cuban forces. There are no Russian & Cuban forces now
This means that #Ethiopia on its own is not match for forces fighting for self-determination be it Tigrayans, Somalis, Oromos and Afars. It can do so, however, with help of outside forces for decades or so. Somalis in Ethiopia for now have chosen to bow to Abiy and his allies.

Sahan co-founded by Bryden, was third-party monitor of donor funded police.
Flagging police brutality led to de-funding Baidoa Police.
Fahad constructed parallel security under Farmajo command: Haramcad ( Police) & Gorgor ( army) 7k recruits to Eritrea ( Duufaan from this)
My comment:
It appears #Ethiopia government, consistent with tripartite agreement, to establish centralized powers in Horn, helped arrest Robow in Baidoa & attempted to arrest Madoobe in Kismayo, the latter failed, risking confrontation between #Kenya & Ethiopia in #Somalia
Commentator on drones reported: drones imported by Somali MP bear strong resemblance, judging from the pictures, to this: the Mugin 3600VTOL (3600mm wing diameter).
Googling this model reveals this: You can put a heavier equipment on the plane now. @AAbdishakur@HarunMaruf
Sambalooshe, former spy agency, NISA,
director speaking to VOA:
- I hired Ikran Farah in April, 2017 as an agent in my office; later I appointed her to Human rights and Gender of NISA.
- former Deputy NISA, Guled, also confirms Ikran being NISA agent, voasomali.com/a/5966833.html
- Speaking to VOA Somali, former NISA deputy, Abdisalam Guled, supports that Ikran Farah was picked up from green zone, suggesting government involvement. The area refered to is between Global Hotel & KM O, NISA HQ in Shibis, northern #Mogadishu, or Ex- Mama khadijo Ali Mahdi HQ
A curios question is: was Ikran Farah working for NISA since 2017, or did she leave the agency while she was the director of the Mayor of #Mogadishu’ office & then returned to it, or did she remain as NISA agent while she was the director of the mayor’s office, prior to his death
- The father who is in Afgoye, outside #Mogadishu, said my son called me from Makelle, and told me that he wants to come back home. I sent him money. He was brought to Samera, Afar, then Jijiga, Hargaisa, Garowe.
It is true: he was among soldiers presented by #Puntland.
The father also reported that his son told him while in Tigray: he finished training 19 months ago
- In a curios note, the father reported that people who killed his son were people he learned recently: they were not his friends. He was stabbed to death. #Somalia
Mother at prominent TV:
_ Her daughter Ikran Tahlil Farah left her house on 6/26, at 8:03 PM, #Mogadishu. She is missing.
- Linkedin has a profile with similar name. Jobs held include: executive secretary of NISA, and Chief Staff of Mogadishu of assassinated Mayor Yarisow
Mother suspects NISA abduction.
- It is not clear why the missing woman chose to identify her former employer of 10 months, NISA. Doing so, while in Mogadishu suggests taking unnecessary major risks
- Is there any links to the un-explained assassination of Eng Yarisow? #NISA
One un-verified claim @AhmedAbdullahi_ is that she has information pertaining to a female suicide bomber said to have killed her late boss, Eng Yariisow.
- The female suicide bomber was pictured with President Farmaajo
- Washington post run story on this google.com/amp/s/www.wash…
AG main findings
