Getachew Reda is being deposed. The old TPLF guard which apparently is allied with Eritrea has taken over Tigray "A misguided decision by a cabal of few army officers to take the law into their hands and dismantle state structures throughout Tigray the last few days has plunged the region into an uncharted territory, with civilians protesting these illegal moves being rounded up and shot at at random. Many casualties in Adigudom and parts of Mekelle. The rampage is part of a harebrained plan to install an illegal faction of TPLF into the position of power, a move that flies full in the face of the aspirations of the people of Tigray and if the Pretoria Agreement. It’s incumbent upon all the stakeholders to the Pretoria agreement to face down such a brazen move before it escalates into another round of devastating war on and against the people of Tigray. There is every reason to believe external forces are trying to take advantage of this crisis to stock up more violence throughout the region and beyond. As if the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people in IDP camps is not worse enough, the very officers who only recently put themselves in harm’s way in their people’s cause. Much as it pains me to break ranks with my erstwhile comrades, it’s altogether fitting and appropriate that we condemn such reckless acts of unmitigated violence in the service of a faction hell bent on grabbing power at all costs." https://x.com/reda_getachew/status/1899501893509955655?t=mhIAlSZ3WEwROt8jbeJsIw&s=19

Lt. Gen. Tsadkan warns #Ethiopia-#Eritrea war "seems inevitable," urges last-minute efforts to avert war Lt. Gen. Tsadkan Gebretensae, Vice President and Democratization Cabinet Secretariat of the Tigray Interim Administration, has warned that war between Ethiopia and Eritrea “seems inevitable,” with preparations reaching their “final stages” and Tigray at risk of becoming the main battleground. Writing in The Africa Report, he cautioned that the conflict could spread beyond the two countries, affecting Sudan and the Red Sea region. While Tigray “would prefer to stay out” of the conflict, he said, the “option for peace may be narrowing, leaving war as the only option.” Tsadkan claimed the alliance between Addis Abeba and Asmara has “gradually deteriorated” since the Pretoria peace agreement, making war more likely. He accused Eritrea of engaging in “predatory state behavior” and attempting to “take advantage of countries around it, particularly Ethiopia and Sudan.” He also warned that divisions within Tigray could complicate the situation, alleging that some leaders were “indifferent to the fate of the people of Tigray” and were seeking an alliance with Eritrea to remove Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed before “eventually turning against Eritrea itself.” Urging last-minute diplomatic efforts to prevent war, he stressed that if deterrence fails, the “shortest termination of the war by all means—military or diplomatic—is in the best interest of Tigray and the region.” addisstandard.com/?p=49114

Amhara are in difficult situation. If Abiy wins the wars, that means Oromo domination for decades. If he loses, it might lead to disintegration of Ethiopia. Cagjar is mute, but Somalis are about Afars as they are being trained and armed by Abiy.

War between Eritrea between Ethiopia and Eritrea is getting closer every day with all Abyssinians on side and the Oromo-led Ethiopia on the other.

It helps Carney is center left and not flaming queen. You should see Republican Congressmen getting yelled by their constituents every time they hold townhome meetings. Unfortunately, democrats don't know how to take advantage of this situation.

Can he help the Liberals in defeat the Conservatives and Pierre Poilievre? Trump did the Liberals a huge favor even if they lose the elections.

The Tigrayans are split. The old guard that controls majority of their armed forces made a deal with Afwerki. The interim government didn’t. There were efforts to unite the two. Regardless, everyone sees the Oromo as the bigger threat.

He meant Assab port which they believe is historically theirs. Both Eritreans and Ethiopians are amassing troops along the Tigray-Afar borders. The Eritreans have the advantage of already being inside Ethiopia. They are also supporting Amharas and the military wing of the TPLF directly. It will be Abyssinians vs Oromo. If Abiy wins the war, the Horn is his for while and Oromo will reign supreme. If he loses, Ethiopia might cease to exist or be in perpetual war.

A clear video shows SOMALI youth at Liido Beach, where Abiy Ahmed was present, loudly chanting "Thief, Thief" and flipping the middle finger at him. Alhamdulilah for the Somali people.

Xaaji, Abiy was welcomed wfh mortar attack at Aden Adde Airport and demos where the so-called police forces one kid. Apart from his paid trolls, even his ardent supporters have turned on him. That said, this is a shameful day.

Xaaji, Don't confuse HSM and his minions for Southerners. HSM is no better than Biixi, in fact, he's worse!

As someone born and raised in the South, I learned more about the geography and history of the North and Northeast than I would have in a lifetime thanks to this current war in Calmiskaad and SSC war.

How's it historic?

A cognitive decline can certainly explain some of the outrageous decisions he makes.
