Statement from PM's office

Tillamook, I am hoping against hope considering the gravity of the situation. But if war does come, a balkanized Ethiopia is more preferable than unitary totalitarian one regardless of what group assumes power. Abtigiis and ONLF have tough choices ahead of them. On a side note, I made a bet with our Oodka saying Somaligalbeed will gain independence the before secessionists. I might just win that bet. Galbeedi, Whatever the underlying situation is, it created chaos and even more suspension among the group. This will eventually become unsustainable.

Observer, How well coordinated was this attempt?

Gunfire in multiple cities.

Sure, Galbeedi, the general is indeed a Tigray. I don't remember the ethnicity of the head of Intelligence who is purportedly under arrest. As much as I want to see Ethiopia disintegrate, I hope there is no war. It will be catastrophic for the Horn, specifically for us.

Unconfirmed reports: Gunfire in Addis, the Army Chief of Staff killed and the head of intelligence arrested.

I think before we got into anything, they should finish the constitution and hold GENUINE reconciliation process for all Somalis. If it's hard to stear Somalis if the mistrust continues and qabiil lords exploit that mistrust.

Security Alert – U. S. Embassy Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Security Alert – U. S. Embassy Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Location: Addis Ababa Event: The Embassy is aware of reports of gunfire in Addis Ababa. Chief of Mission personnel are advised to shelter in place. Actions to Take: Shelter in place Employ sound security practices. Remain aware of your surroundings, including local events. Avoid large gatherings and demonstrations; monitor local news stations; and follow the instructions of local authorities.

Xaaf is done indeed and no one is coming to Kenya's aid. They don't seem to understand Farmaajo and Kheyr cannot politically risk the wrath of the public. They will have no chance coming back should they sit with Kenya. In regards to the federal issue, Farmaajo needs to tread carefully.

There was assassination attempt on Dr. Ambachew Mekonnen. Other members of top leadership were targeted too. There's still firefight in Bahir Dar.

This is either false flag operation that gives Abiy and his allies the opportunity to purge their opponents or an actual coup whose eventual goal was Addis Ababa. Either way, this is not looking good.

I guess we know where the wind is blowing. This is why they will be going to Houston. This gotta piss Kikuyu more.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. JFK

It seems like he spent half of that time abroad.

June 17, 2019 For Immediate Release On June 17, 2019, more than 28 years since its closing on January 5, 1991, the United States reopened a permanent USAID Mission in Somalia. Establishing a USAID Mission in Mogadishu is an important milestone in the deepening U.S. development partnership with the Somali people, made possible by the Somali government’s commitment to meaningful reform and re-engagement with the international community. Establishing a Mission also underscores USAID’s commitment to supporting the people and Government of Somalia to maintain momentum in their Journey to Self-Reliance. The USAID Mission, led by Mission Director Jeffrey Bakken, will work closely with the people and Government of Somalia to advance peace and stability, strengthen institutions, and work together towards a safer, more prosperous, and self-reliant Somalia.

The one thing we could thank Woyanes for is reawaking of ethnonationalism among Ethiopians. They have made sure the country is balkanized once they lose power. They are fully prepared for any eventuality. The question is would the Somali be ready once Ethiopia comes apart? I have seen many Ethiopians. They are mild-mannered people for the most part but the ones I see nowadays are either ready to unite Ethiopia by force or destroyed by force. There's to be no middle ground.

Let's hope these kids are wiser than the current stock of Somalis

If anyone is really interested in knowing who orders assassinations and bombings, here he is.

I guess we know what's next.

This is laughable!
