Like Andrew McMahon said, "For all the things my hands have held, the best by far is you", you will always be the best for, and to me.
Millions throng
#Ethiopia
streets protesting misreporting of facts by western media on
#Tigray
conflict. US and West are blamed 4 supporting
#TPLF
a terrorist group fighting 4 supremacy or destroy Ethiopia. US not pleased that Abiy wants Africa to eliminate western aid dependency
Seeing how Dr Abiy Ahmed labours to transform his country gives hope that Africa still has patriotic and focused leaders.
#Ethiopia
is blessed to have him. Young, determined & peace loving. On my next visit to Addis, I will seek to meet him and let him know that Africa loves him.
Congratulations to the lovely people of Tigray, freedom is coming after a couple of years in captivity by terrorist group TPLF.
Now that Shire, Adwa, Adigrat, May Tebri, Alamata and Axum have been liberated,
#Mekelle
shd be next. Hoping that the abused will finally get justice.
The international comm. has failed to grasp true causes and nature of
#Tigray
conflict and mistakenly interpret it as if it is now the “usual African civil war” between a strong central govt and a minority region that is seeking greater autonomy.

fighters who vandalized it and stole properties worth 10 billion Birr (about $208m). The place is littered with computer frames, broken pieces of door & window glass & torn-apart books.
The Abiy administration has put in place all avenues of ending the conflict and they are public. What else does the U.S want a legitimate government to do? Succumbing to rebels? Negotiating to hand criminals power?

The witnessed deliberate misinformation and misreporting about
