#BloodyWinter: winter is coming to Ethiopia and it is going to be bloody

1/ In 2-3 months the rainy season will be upon Ethiopia. I am hoping against hope that I am wrong, but I am afraid it is going to be the bloodiest winter in our history!
2/ It appears, both #TPLF & its backers have given up their hope of bringing #TPLF back to power & have settled for an independent #Tigray to serve as their #HOA proxy to disrupt the region. The catch: An independent #Tigray can not be realized without #Welkait.
3/ #TPLF is using this respite to appease the populace severely affected by food shortage and the terrible cost of the loss from the previous campaign in terms of human life and replenish its dwindling supply to feed its army.
4/ At the beginning of the rainy season, #TPLF will once again launch an attack on #Afar and/or #Amhara to disrupt the delivery of aid. It will blame #ENDF/#EDF/#ASF/#Fano for the disruption and use it to launch a new campaign focusing on #Welkait.
5/ The invasion will take place during the rainy season, thereby cancelling out the air superiority of #ENDF.
6/ #TPLF has already prepared the ground among the people by announcing that the next campaign will be the last one and everyone will be required to take part. A 'Million Man' army is being prepared!
7/ The moment #ENDF/#EDF/#ASF respond to #TPLF's aggression, both #HR6600 and #S3199 will come into effect. The sanctions will hit both #Ethiopia and #Eritrea very hard. What about TPLF, you ask?
8/ #TPLF will get away with murder! Literally!
Economic sanctions: how is #TPLF going to be affected by withholding of funds by #IMF, #WBG...?
Arms embargo: how is the US going to stop arms being smuggled across the Sudanese border?......
Visa: does anyone really think #TPLF leaders are worried about not being able to visit the US? Freezing of assets: does anyone really think DT and GR have their money lying around in US banks?
9/ On the other hand the bills will make sure Ethiopia is economically crippled and unable to buy #drones and other weapons. Remember how many articles attributed #ENDF's victory to drones?!
10/ I see folks on SM saying the bills will not be passed into law. My guess, for what it is worth, is that the bills will be passed and they will be passed WITHOUT any modification!
11/ The pieces are already in place! When Congress & the Senate convene to discuss these bills; expect the words of the Patriarch, the reports of @Amnesty & @hrw to be read aloud in the chambers. Very soon, the three-person 'independent' HR investigators will join the fray.
12/ #DrEvil's most recent visit to the us and his meetings with @Ilhan and @SpeakerPelosi was definitely to advance #HR6600 and #S3199 using his position and the power of the @WHO as bargaining chips.
13/ Handing over #Welkait to #TPLF will be a disaster for #Eritrea, #Ethiopia and #Amhara region. The showdown at #Welkait is going to be of epic proportions and very very bloody.
14/ That's why, barring unexpected turn of events, I am afraid the coming Ethiopian winter might become the bloodiest winter in our history. Hundreds of thousands if not millions might perish!
I hope we will once again realize #Ethiopia is not a synonym for The Government of Ethiopia! That #Ethiopia is an idea that goes beyond a government or even a country! Being Ethiopian is a possession that can never get exorcised!

#Ethiopians, it's time to stand up & be counted!

#HR6600: Promising Blood, Tears and More Blood for Ethiopia

1/ Engineered by #DrEvil, powered by @PowerUSAID, introduced by @RepMalinowski and financed by the pro_TPLF diaspora, #HR6600 promises to inaugurate a decade of bloodshed, starvation and instability in the HoA.
2/ @StateDept supported TPLF up until the last moment with the hope TPLF will come back to power. With their dreams dashed, it seems they came to the conclusion that their best bet is to work with the GOE. The ambassador was replaced & @PowerUSAID's seems to have been sidelined.
3/ Now, @DrTedros & @PowerUSAID are spearheading a change in strategy. The new strategy is all about twisting the arm of @StateDept through bills passed by the Senate or Congress.

To War, or Not to Be: Why #TPLF will ALWAYS choose war

1/TPLF backed by formidable western allies failed to deliver Addis and apparently lost their unqualified support. With thousands sacrificed with nothing show in return, TPLF is stuck between a rock & a hard place.
2/ TPLF knows it can only survive if there is active conflict. Without war keeping the populace in a state of near constant fear and paranoia will be nigh impossible. This makes the prospect of ordinary Tigrayans showing their discontent, a very real possibility.
3/ With that in mind TPLF will do all it can to keep the war going. After another round of conscription TPLF has been getting ready to launch an all out attack against #Afar and #Amhara.

#TedrosTheTerrible

1/ 5.5 million people died of COVID-19 under @DrTrdros's watch. The fall from grace of the @WHO under #TedrosTheTerrible might have caught many people by surprise but not many #Ethiopians.

m.thewire.in/article/health…
2/ Ethiopian health professionals gasped in disbelief when @DrTedros was elected to lead @WHO in May 2017. A man who grossly mismanaged three Cholera epidemics getting elected to manage the World Health Organization; what could possibly go wrong?🤔
3/ In October 2005, @DrTedros was appointed as the first non-MD Minister of Health in #Ethiopia. His only qualification to hold the post was him being a member of the Central Committee of the #TPLF.

#HopingAgainstHope: Panafricanism and the fight for Southern Rhodesia [Zimbabwe]

1/ Between 1970-73, the UK & US vetoed 5 resolutions against white minority dictatorship in S. Rhodesia. The proceedings of the UNSC meeting are eerily reminiscent of our current situation.
2/ In 1972, OAU held a meeting in Addis opened by HIM Hailesselassie to strategize further with regard to the situation in S. Rhodesia & the role of the UN. In 1973, a UNSC resolution was tabled by Kenya & Guinea calling for action against the illegal white minority gov't of SR.
3/ Odero-Jowi, representing Kenya gave a very elegant and moving speech against this debacle and rebuked the members of the UNSC[UN & UK] that consistently stop resolutions against the white minority govt of SR through what he aptly called "velvet vetoes."

#BlackPawns vs. #ProudBlacks

1/ Taking the conflict in N. Ethiopia as an opportunity, #African and #Ethiopian elites who despise #Ethiopia and #panafricanism have come out of the woodwork in droves.
2/ These are people who grew up convinced that it was a great miscarriage of justice that they were born black. Deep inside they keep thinking they should have been born white. The injustice of it all!
2/ They spend their whole lives chasing after the illusory dream of being as light skinned as possible. They work hard, they cajole and beg and suck up to their bosses. They even pray! And yet, they wake up every day bound in that black skin.

#GaslightingEthiopia 101:
How to support #TPLFinc by undermining GOE using #TPLFcrimes

1/ In their report released on Dec 9, @hrw detailed atrocities perpetrated by #TPLF in #Chennai and #Kobo, between Aug 31 and Sept 9.
The findings of the report are chilling and makes you shudder thinking of what must have happened in areas held by #TPLF for several months.
2/ Yet the report raises more questions than it answers.
What about the 90 days since Sept 9? Why conduct the reports remotely, despite at least some areas being free for 3 months? Why release the report now as #TPLF occupation is ending & more atrocities are coming to light?
