#PreDebunkingNima

1, After thoroughly debunking Nima's #FakeHumeraMassacre I made these👇 outrageous predictions in a thread I tweeted on Sept 13 & 28.

2/ True to form, it is looking very likely that as predicted the TPLF-TMH-Nima hub has been working on producing a sequel. The stage is already set and the wheels are in motion. Nima/Berhe or someone from @CNN or another outlet will be directing the show.
3/ In the next few days Nima/Berhe and co. will be introducing their play in print and on TV. Unfortunately, I am afraid that some of my predictions might be coming true.
As predicted in my thread, my guess would be that these batch of bodies will not be chemically treated. They will be mainly younger (preferably teenage boys and girls with identifying marks), elderly and women.
Geri and Dr. Tewodros might reprise their role or they might be replaced by someone new, preferably a woman who can 'identify' some of the bodies as someone close to her.
4/ I doubt it if the dental forensic expert will make a cameo this time. Most probably, this time around Nima will take a non-African expert and make sure there are no contradictions in the report. No more utter humiliation for Nima!
5/ Nima and co. are counting on their readers gullibility one more time. I wonder if their readers are going to wonder why these Amharas keep dumping bodies in the river knowing fully well they are going to end up in Hamdayet?
6/ I hope readers/viewers will ask why the whole thing is eerily similar with what happened in Kagera river in 1994, the inspiration behind the script.
7/ I ask fellow Ethiopians on SM to share and bookmark these threads and keep them handy to counter Nima's narrative as soon as it comes out of the press.

#NoMore
8/ I am tagging the following outlets to let them know a sequel of the #FakeHumeraMassacre is coming out and that they should get ready to spread the 'news' and pat Nima on the back.

#NoMore Power for Power: a few thoughts on @politico's article on Samantha Power

politi.co/3c8X4wD via @politico
1. The lady is an opportunist! She never took responsibility for Libya and chose to avoid the spotlight when things went south in Afghanistan. For @PowerUSAID, the much vaunted phrase #DoNoHarm applies only for one person. Herself!
2. Power looking for ways to embarrass GOE, early on in the conflict makes you wonder what kind of diplomacy she is practicing, especially when it comes to #Africa and also showcases her bias against #Ethiopia from the get go.

#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!

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!
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? Image

#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?!
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.

#BloodTears&Prayers
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.....
