Why? There is no threat to Addis. I understand Europe and US are also blocking charter flights for the Great Ethiopian Homecoming. Covid?
Beginning to wonder if destabilization team is having a second run at the aborted CNN op, this time with Declan Walsh as designated hitter.

This EU push for an UNHRC mtg. and now a UNSC meeting as TPLF find themselves once again on the ropes (this time pretty comatose) is right out of the standard playbook all year.
The difference is who is in the driving seat.

High Representative Borrell was in the back seat all summer, and for a chunk of Spring and Autumn, hardly said a word about Ethiopia for months. EUSR Rondos finished up June 30. But now he’s back in the @nytimes and Borrell is tweeting like a teenager.
Friday’s Human Rights Council meeting dropped out of the sky. And the question is also why? What do they hope to achieve? Create space for TPLF to regroup?
The HR story around this Ethiopia conflict is a Pandora’s box. Once properly opened the fallout will be monumental.

The EU has a lot more at stake in an Ethiopian conflagration than the US. Could losing elements in the DC policy war now be pursuing their objectives via @JosepBorrellF Rondos and @EUSR_Weber? Talking up and freaking out EU Ministers with talks about refugee flows?
One thing is clear they don’t seem to have a clue about the negative optics from a Pan Africanist #NoMore perspective. This meeting is being cast in social media as a rerun of the infamous 19th C. Berlin Conference. How’s this going to effect the progress towards #COP27Africa
It all looks to me like a FP debacle in the making. No upside, massive downside, and given that the actual action is on the ground in Northern Ethiopia (which is a bit of a black box) unpredictable, uncontrollable and reputationally hazardous for all.
Do US-EU think they can sanction or financially coerce the 7 billion people who are not US-EU to their will?
What confuses me here is that if this is where they are heading, then decades of independent @eu_eeas thinking is going on the bonfire, just when it’s most needed,

Wonder what @FedericaMog makes of this fast approaching train wreck?
