There has been no leader in modern Ethiopian history who is comparable in turning dreams and hopes into ashes as Abiy Ahmed. No singular achievement, not even something that can be interpreted as “good-faithed but misguided”. Nothing! Only tears of agony, pain, and betrayal.

Forty trucks, ten trucks, five trucks… it is all discourse on saving a fish from the poisoned well. Unless our focus is on the “siege for starving” strategy, the Ethiopian gov & its neofascist allies will continue to play the game with impunity. It’s a discourse that suits them.

This is the time for strong political unity in Ethiopia. I urge the PM to do what South Africa did & invite all major political leaders for discussion of his plan to fight the virus & get their full, unwavering, & public support. Stand together!

For 25+ years, TPLF worked with ANDM, OPDO and others to reproduce authoritarianism. There’s nothing uniquely ‘monstrous’ about it. Authoritarianism is banal & mundane in Ethiopia. The only way we can get out of this abyss is thru a sense of collective responsibility &solidarity.

Observing the recent developments in Ethiopian politics, I am beginning to think Bertrand Russell might be partially right when he pointed out that the greatest wish of the oppressed is to overthrow their oppressor and then victimise someone else.

Fake transition. Same autocratic playbook, same people, no accountability.

His economics aside, this was an inspired & inspiring performance. Abiy is at his performative best when he calls for solidarity, liberty, & integration, when he avoids rhetorical retreat to our dark recesses & his talks illuminate with the pure light of our common aspiration.

Abiy winning the Nobel Peace Prize is fine. Many don’t agree with me, but I think he has solid Ethiopianist instincts that are hidden in the small-mindeded moves of a leader who’s lost his confidence. The prize may embolden him to rediscover his early, maximalist self.

If this is the beginning of change, let’s not for a second forget that it is due to the relentless struggle and sacrifice of many Ethiopians - for hope to reign, for the idea of freedom to resonate, for the quest for democracy to explode. Tomorrow we shall remember them all.

In a few years, no one will remember supporting the horrific violence against women, children, and fellow Ethiopians in a “war waged to enforce the law”.

That Ethiopia’s big privatisation moves that have massive generational consequences haven’t generated even a small fraction of the attention that the battle for control of a single media house has attracted shows the low quality and diversity of our public sphere.

The Ethiopian state should apologise to the tens of thousands of Ethiopians and Eritreans who lost their loved ones in a pointless war fuelled by shameless propaganda.

Ethiopian supporters of peace: Don’t rub salt into the wounds of thousands of victims of his brutal repression by praising his qualities as a leader. This is the least a community that claims to love Eritreans can do.

Always remember that millions of Ethiopians have sacrificed life, liberty, property, and physical/mental health to achieve a free and equal political community.

Key part of post-protest/conflict democratic reconstruction is effective demobilisation of protest/insurgent groups. The qeerroo/fano discussion should move from the romanticisation/demonisation framework to the democratisation framework.
