#NoMore: read our lips

1/Admiral Stavridisj, the man who led the NATO Alliance from 2009 to 2013 as Supreme Allied Commander with responsibility for Afghanistan, Libya, the Balkans, Syria is calling for apparent US intervention in #Ethiopia.

2/ It appears the Admiral took the wrong lessons from this list of abject failures of US interventionalism. The Syrian crisis led to the resurgence of ISIS, Libya became a slave market and Afghanistan is in the hands of the Taliban. Impressive!

3/ The article started well before devolving into the usual mindless comparision with Yugoslavia. For the last time please stop comparing Ethiopia, a nation that was around for millennia with a country cobbled together from 3 preexisting nations in 1918 & lasted a mere 74 years!

4/ Then the good admiral pulled the biggest lie of the century out of his hat by saying Amharas have joined TPLF in their fight against the GOE. This tantamount to claiming black Americans fought against the North sliding with the Confederates who wanted to keep them enslaved.

5/ The Admiral gives several reasons why America should intervene in Ethiopia. Bizarrely enough,one of the reasons he cited was the massive protest staged by Ethiopian Americans on Nov 8 in OPPOSITION to US intervention in Ethiopian domestic affair!!! 🤷‍♂️

6/ He then proceeded to outline how important Ethiopia is for the US in terms of geopolitics. From the article, you would not have guessed that #Ethiopia is a country with human people in it who have equal rights with other humans in other parts of the world.

7/ In 1884 Europeans gathered in Berlin to discuss and protect the geopolitical interests of Europeans; to determine how to go about managing the great continental resources of Africa. Admiral, your suggestion is no different!

8/ This article is bereft of proper understanding of the situation. There is no discussion of TPLFs 27 years of dictatorship, its role in starting the conflict and its ongoing genocidal war against the people of #Amhara and #Afar.

9/ Admiral you remind us of the guy with hammer who sees nails everywhere he goes. US interventionism is already making the situation in Ethiopia worse,not better.

@business

10/ This article @business and the oped on @ForeignPolicy advocationg for some sort of western intervention are attempts to test climate of public opinion in the US, Ethiopia and africa; blatant attempts to shift the Overton window.

We Ethiopians urge Americans to say #NoMore to intervention in their name. African Americans and Africans should not to stand by while the USG prepares to dismantle a proud black nation.

Ethiopians have every intention of staying free.

@BeckyCNN

1/This was a fascinating watch, as the interview went on @BeckyCNN got more and more incesnsed (a lot of eye rolling, face making and shouting) while @BilleneSeyoum kept hammering her points home with typical #Ethiopian dignity and a hint of bemusement. Ice cold!

@bethlehemfel

2/ Becky's defense of CNN's investigative journalism was pathetic. May be she hasn't read Nimas report in full. Remember the forensic dentist?

What about @bethlehemfel going around liking @gredas tweets? Is that part of @CNN reporting "carefully and methodically" @BeckyCNN?

#TheRosenthalMethod: how to tame an inconvenient truth through inaccuracies, errors and omissions

There are so many inaccuracies, errors and omissions in your oped that I have to go at it paragraph by paragraph.

1/ It all starts with the first sentence of the first paragraph! “Frequent, violent” regime changes in “recent decades” in Ethiopia?! The last regime change in Ethiopia was in 1991! 30 years ago! Setting the ground for the usual "African"narrative?!

2/ Here you are trying to create a parallel between Mengistu and Abiy. Mengistu was a military leader who came to power through a coup and his government was not loved by many Ethiopians. This was one of the reasons the TPLF managed to virtually walk into Addis.

Zecharias quotes a number of articles in an attempt to refute the Bekele-Bachelete report. Let's take a look at this remarkable pieces of long distance journalism. Shall we?!

@latimes

1. The @latimes article by @berhe_lucy and @nabihbulos. Berhe is based in NAIROBI and Bulos is based in BEIRUT. They spoke to people who claim to have witnessed a massacre in Bora over the PHONE.

Virginia D-day

1/ Twenty seven years of tyranny and subjugation. We wept and prayed and fought!

When we got a shot at freedom and democracy, we grabbed it with two hands!

We went to the streets and we marched to the voting booth!

2/ Yet, even in this day and age, the will of the people counts for nothing! Especially if you are poor and black and African!

The liberals, who preach racial equality at home are no different from their white predecessors who came to enslave us or to 'save' us.

3/ And now the Democrats are fuelling genocide in #Ethiopia!

If you need any reason to vote Red and punish Blinken and co, I give you........Maikadra.....Galicoma......Chifra.....Agamsa...Kobo....Wuchale......and Kombolcha.....

.@timnitGebru Rebuttal
[re-purposing my arguments form the Rand-Corp thread]

1/ @timnitGebru, the fatal flaw at the very heart of your reasoning is your decision to equate information from MSM with truth with regard to the conflict in N. Ethiopia, which begs the question:

https://twitter.com/timnitGebru/status/1454254119045107716

How does one know the news articles and reports from HR groups are not disinformation?
If your arbiters of absolute truth are these media outlets and this was at the time of the Iraqi war, you would have concluded that Iraq possessed WMDs!

If it was during the war on Libya, you would have endorsed the claim by Amnesty that soldiers of Gaddafi were being given free Viagra to encourage mass rape.

#YourVoteYourPower

1/ On Nov 2 Virginians will vote in the Gubernatorial Election. On Nov 4 #Ethiopians all over the world will hold a day of remembrance for the hundreds of Ethiopian soldiers massacred by the TPLF in the dead of night on Nov 4, 2020.

2/ Belatedly, both sides are scrambling to appeal to Ethiopians. #Ethiopians will not be swayed by vacous video messages or bland statements. Ethiopians demand change in US FP towards Ethiopia! Ethiopians demand action! So far the Biden admin has been found wanting!

3/ The current adminstartion's support for #TPLF and demonization of GOE is clear as daylight. The liberal political-media complex is working day and night against Ethiopia.
