Ethio gov suddenly dumping patched allegations on G/Migbey and implucate his collaboration with Fano is bizarre but interpretable. Now that Tigray is lining up its ducks, it seems Abiy felt the need to preempt the surging push for the return of Tigray IDPs+ occupied territories.

Adwa Victory: African, black victory. Feb is BlackHistoryMonth. Adwa symbolizes Africanism-Blackism. Towering victories secured thru civil movement for equality. Black world can cherish, celebrate these duality: winning victories with firepower as well as moralpower.

P Mulatu's piece forced me ponder beyond its message point.His point is easy to detect,so is his intention.Promotes AA for bad reasons, opposes Isayas for good reasons, wrongs Tigray again for no reason. He should be the last man to talk about this topic. https://t.co/AV8PlVrNuM

Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki is working to reignite conflict in northern Ethiopia. He must be stopped.

When the PP going gets rough, Lidetu elevates his going. Lidetu is flagging the Ethiopian goverment's recent decision to deny him returning home as alarming to eveyone. His determination + civility to fight all violations and excesses headon is impressive and refreshing.

Disabled people bring innovative thinking to organizations, and disabled-owned businesses spark unforgettable experiences. @ZiryabBCN hires Deaf and hearing employees, and one of the owners is Deaf. It’s an extremely popular restaurant in Barcelona. Why do you think that is?

በጣም አስገራሚ ጥንውት ነው። ሰው ለመምሰል የሚያደርገውን ከፍተኛ ጥረት አሸንፎ እያሳበቀበት ሁሌም መደበቅ እያቃተው መሸከፊያውን እያመለጠ የሚፈሰው ፀያፍ ስብእና!
ተመልከቱት ይህንን በደም ሱስ የሚክለፈለፍ ምንትስ። “ለምን አልተገዳደሉልኝም፣ ለምን ቶሎ አይታኮሱልኝም” እኮ ነው። ከዝያ ደቅኖ ሊጠጣ። የሰውን ደም እንኳ በጨላ የሚያሰላ፣ የአስተሳሰብ ድሃነቱ አጥን��� ድረስ የዘለቀ ጨለል ድሃ!

The Eritrean regime lives on expanding sins in frequency and intensity. More years means more suffering to ordinary citizens. Of course, what they and their partners in crime did in Tigray has no comparison.
I spoke to former detainees of Eritreas prison system. They described horrendous conditions - crammed into pitch-black underground cells with no room to sleep and guards who subjected them to torture, beatings and other mistreatment. https://t.co/zeQs3mSEvD

And warming up for more and greater roles in shaping US policy on Africa. Look forward to seeing Africa benefiting from your profound expertise on the region.
Delighted to start the weekend fêting the 60th American presidential #Inauguration and the return to the White House of @realDonaldTrump at the #USA🇺🇲-#UK🇬🇧 reception with friends old & new, including @reformparty_uk leader @Nigel_Farage, Dr. @SebGorka & H.I.H. @PahlaviReza.

Indeed. That is why I sometimes call what happened in Tigray is a Genocide+.
Well considered! It will be a matter of time before the Tigray file resurfaces. The catalogue of atrocities committed by Ethiopia and Eritrea: the unrelenting horrors and tragedies visited upon the Tigrayans will overwhelm genocide studies.

This brief note carries a huge message! Ethiopia is actually the last empire standing (falling). EPRDF's attempt to make a Republic deranged out of way& consumed the Front itself. Now the question is whether we can avoid or lessen further pains of the inhabitants.
Saving the state is not the same as saving the tormented inhabitants of the Ethiopian Region. Worse, an internal takeover of the Prosperity Party/PP/ or Oromia PP will only perpetuate the flawed system. This is a source of worry than hope. Both oiling the existing Ethiopian

Jowar said today "I'm not working to remove the gov despite they seem shivering in fear. I'm tired of removing governments." After uttering those words in Amharic, he switched to Oromicfa. Does he make any sense at all? Wasn't he very strong on removing Abiy just last week?

Professor Ezekiel Gabissa has elevated his articulation and is speaking powerfully on the current fetishistic leadership aka PP. I wish other public intellectuals who care about their people follow suit.

The circulating video showing the gruesome and barbaric slaying of Dereje Amare in Darra is utterly sickening. My heart goes out to the victim's family. As repeatedly stated by many participants in a very recent panel discussion commemorating the second year of signing the

50 Years! This was the week Lucy was discovered half a century ago. Don who discovered Lucy and Zeray who discovered Selam were on air today with NPR's ScienceFriday talking and reflecting on those discoveries and what they mean to the study of humans. https://t.co/8d2YWt2PvM

On the anniversary of Lucy’s discovery, paleoanthropologists reflect on what she means to science, and what she taught us about ourselves.

Somaliland has conducted peaceful, democratic& competitive national election, a rare political culture in the region. An expert on Somali politics told me that early signs so far clearly indicate that the incumbent Muse Bahi and his party Kulmiye cannot win this election.

Americans have spoken& picked their choice for the WH and that they are not ready yet for a woman leader. Well, democracy is about electiveness, not selectiveness. As z Demos go back to figure out the whys of their defeat, the rest of us must know how to endure next long 4yrs.

If all indications are to be trusted in advance, Harris is only 1 night away from bossing the WH to herself. It took exactly 100 yrs of struggle for women to get here, from securing the right to vote, to winning the votes to the highest US office! What a giant leap!
