Retired Amb. Vicky Huddleston is not a former U.S. Ambassador to Ethiopia, she is a former Charge D’Affaires. She is not a spokesperson for the US Govt. Either though one wonders whether they may have green-lighted this appearance.

If so, it was a very unwise decision as this just pours more fuel onto a bonfire of U.S. foreign relations, not just with Ethiopia but with the HOA region, China, US Allies in the Middle East and possibly the African continent as a whole. #NoMore

It also draws attention to the leaked call where Huddleston and serving US Somalia Ambassador Donald Yamamoto had a cost chat with TPLF “Western Hemisphere Representative” Berhane Gebre Christos about overthrowing the elected Ethiopian Govt.

And the bungled @CNN / TPLF misinformation operation about bodies in the Tekeze river which it appears was intended to provide media with cover for US Govt. Genocide declaration against the Ethiopian Govt.

These remarks were in response to a question posed by Amb. Vicky Huddleston.
The full video of the call - which also involved a number of retired EU Ambassadors and at least one sitting one - is below. Huddleston appears around 1:20:00 minutes in.

The US Diplomatic debacle in Ethiopia is increasingly looking like a scripted farce.
