US Organized and Led Political War on Ethiopia
August 4,2021
US organized and led political war (and propaganda) on behalf of the TPLF and against Ethiopia persists and the frontal assault is carried out by President Biden’s second official in the person of Ms Samantha Power (Mr. Feltman was the first). Ms Samantha Power is in Addis to scream at PM Abiy to “stand down” according to a PBS reporter Nick Schiffrin (https://www.thirteen.org/programs/pbs-newshour/ethiopia-in-crisis-1628022996/).
It is shameful but not surprising for a western reporter these days to address our PM Abiy in colorful language. Those of us less timid and who have been around the block once or twice have learned how the police talk to blacks and the poor here in the US. And as a “policeman” of the world, I don’t even want to bring up what the previous US president Trump said about Africa.
On the band wagon this time are 1) Ambassador Johnny Carson, (now senior advisor with US “institute of peace”) 2) a UNICEF’s “emergency response team” represented by a Ms Marixie Mercado 3) Adotei Akwei of Amnesty International (Advocay Director Africa/ Advocacy Government Relations). and 4)US based TPLFites
.
The PBS news sound bites of three individuals (Carson, Akwei and Mercado) are minority faces and Carson and Akewi are blacks and it seems that they are consciously selected to deliver the scripted sound bites we’ve been hearing for awhile.
Carson’s rehearsed attack on PM Abiy’s unilateral cease fire and withdrawal from Tigray to give the region’s peasants to peacefully engage in farming as a “cover for military defeat” of the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF), the Eritrean forces and the Amhara militia and words like “seriously damaged”, “decimated” used by him are part of the ongoing psych war centrally controlled and globally disseminated by the West (US &EU).
Akewei is another black face invited to the mic feigning concern and saying a system of governance that was created by the TPLF and that kept Ethiopia together is “no longer there” and as such, he says “Ethiopia is cracking on fault lines” and the system he acknowledges created by the TPLF as “autocratic, repressive and very violent” has now broken down.
The system he believes is cracking on fault lines is the TPLF led Ethiopian Peoples Revolutionary Democratic Forces (EPRDF). He never says what followed …Just wonder where he has been during the period of rebellion in Ethiopia (2016-2018) and the three and half years reform movement (2018 until the present) and the transition of the EPRDF to Prosperity Party(PP) excluding the TPLF which opted out from joining the new PP party. His expression’s/ talking points used may have been fed to him from a globally organized, coordinated and controlled center they call ‘fusion cells’?.
We know the US support for the TPLF has been on going for decades and even after the TPLF’s overthrow by the Ethiopian rebellion that brought PM Abiy to power in 2018. The only difference in US approach now is the “in your face” kind of brazenness to a celebrated black African leader of a nation of 115 million people.
The narrative to smear and conduct psychological warfare on the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) is presented and fed to the world by what seems like independent source(s). However, all seem coordinated and are presently in an attack mode with the West’s political line..
Canned words like PM Abiy “fighting with food”, “stopping trucks with food”, putting “children at new risk”, children “not getting therapeutic food” for their survival.,etc….This may be true but the culprit creating this crisis/havoc is the TPLF by warring in all directions and using child soldiers who stop and loot UN trucks in Tigray region. PM Abiy withdrew the ENDF and the Amhara militias from Tigray on June 28, 2021 to neighboring regions in the country.
All this organized and concerted political war is aimed at the elected PP leader and his party with the hope to revive the TPLF terrorists. The US effort is to dust up the remaining three TPLF old guards because the rest were decimated or arrested and in prison awaiting trial.
The TPLF revolted and left the EPRDF coalition and camped out in Mekele for three years attacking PM Abiy’s reforms. Assassination attempts on PM Abiy and killing of his military personnel, and government officials were organized by the TPLF. Direct and indirect attacks were coordinated by the TPLF and its loyal cadres in the federal and regional governments across many regions in the country.
Some external actors also funded to incite big and small conflicts in different regions of Ethiopia. That still continues and the level of internal displacement in several millions is now reported in thousands. Despite this, PM Abiy’s reforms in the military and other state functions show his resolve and have the support of the Ethiopian people.
One regional government that could not get traction was the transitional administration in Mekele that left the city when the unilateral cease fire was declared. Individuals appointed in that transitional administration are hunted and killed by TPLF today.
Nothing has galvanized Ethiopians as the war that is currently waged by the TPLF in the Tigray region against the GoE. The PBS report says “Over 1.7 million Tigrayans have been displaced within the region since November2020. More than 46,00 have sought refuge in neighboring Sudan (source United Nations)”
Today is August 4, 2021 and we just leaned Ms Samantha Power tweeted with the following orders to the Ethiopian government and the TPLF ….
“If aid is to reach people in need then ALL parties must end hostilities.”
- there is no military solution for this conflict
- The US is calling on TPLF to withdraw its forces from the Amhara and Afar regions
- The Amhara regional government to withdraw its forces from western Tigray
- Ther Eritrean government to withdraw all its forces immediately and permanently from Ethiopia…
