Don’t Bet on US, EU Predictions on PM Abiy’s Government

The “magic dragons” are puffing smoke again. The first puff was “no elections in Ethiopia’ until a consultative meeting with “stakeholders”, “opposition figures” and their favorite “bandits”, but the election took place peacefully and ended peacefully.

The second puff was mobilizing the world to block the second filling of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). At the United Nations Security Council, the non Western world voted against or abstained and did not buy into the West’s BS. But that is history now because the second GERD filling is completed.The dragons third puff was constant bitching for access in Tigray and they got it, but the bitching continues louder with all its hues and permutations.

And the puff now is “ a coup imminent ?” We have better odds with Ethiopian local wizards and witches who have better predictions than these dragons.

As Ethiopia walks, all be it a step at a time towards democracy, the behemoth modern day Goliath that is US roams the world with the most destructive power and darwinian mode of existence (eat or be eaten). It has also the prowess of the night king Dracula. It won’t hesitate to use its fangs (weapons) on anyone … just ask our neighbors in the region.

Poor countries are blown away directly and indirectly under one pretext or another and to the “victor goes the loot”, as one American general said after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein’s government and the looting of Iraq’s oil followed.

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s democracy reforms and the recent elections is starting to out shine that of the US. PM Abiy is a Nobel Peace Prize recipient for reversing the longtime state of “no war no peace” and ended the border conflict with Eritrea.

One morning in1962 as a young boy in Addis, I was walking to a church nearby to serve an early morning mass and from an open window across the street a beautiful lady hollered at me profanities for no reason. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of her stunning face, but the words coming out of her mouth blistered my little heart. She was a prostitute.

Today’s profanities that come out from unsavory foreign “diplomats” in high places can bleed not only the heart of the meek but shake up the faith of an enduring friendship of a nation.

The “he said she said” acrimonies to create further chaos and divisions among Ethiopians from external actors and “diplomats” in the country truly requires attention. The government of PM Abiy has through his minister, Mr. Redwan warned “diplomats” to behave or face steel toed booting out of the country.

The TPLF goons continue their probing attacks in small villages and towns using children soldiers. TPLF hungry kids are forced to loot whatever they get their hands on to survive. It has turned them into roving bandits. They shoot on aid trucks entering Mekele and some among them are selected by the TPLF cadres to give a small spiel to foreign agents so that they write or make noise globally on their behalf.

Encircling of Tigray by Ethiopian regional armies and the ENDF has put the TPLF in check for now and according to the Generals Jula and Bacha, they are biding their time and waiting for their marching orders from the political leadership of PM Abiy, who is determined to fight on his own terms.
