Lol wow that’s wild. Maybe the Americans have calculated that TPLF winning would lead to the disintegration of Ethiopia, and they can’t have their pet empire unravel.

being ruled by a megalomaniac Pentecostal is a plus, let’s toss him weapons and see if he can wipe out more ethnicities than haile sellaise.

This is the kind of refrain you see from every African conflict though. It's not ok for any one side to win too much. Everything has to be kept at a constant simmering pressure until it boils over again. History can't be allowed to move forward in Africa because the present arrangements are just how we like them.

So the US Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa visited Ethiopia when Abiy was out of the country in Turkey. Weird, but it seems like Feltman might be staying in Ethiopia even though the rest of the US delegation, which Powers was a part of, left.

religion isn’t a salient divide in Ethiopia. Even 20 percent of amharas are Muslim and Oromos are half and half (actually 40/10/40)

There’s a lot of reasons why Syrian mercenaries would be a dumb idea but religion isn’t one of them. Ethnicity tends to trump faith in Ethiopia.

Afghanistans new anthem

https://youtube.com/watch?v=GneyKA2XaoQ&feature=youtu.be

(Chorus): We protect it with our red blood,
This is the home of the martyrs!
This is the home of the brave!
This is the home of the brave!

All the stones and bushes look like rubies to us!
Blood is spilled upon them, they are all red like roses!
Do you think it can be conquered? It is the home of the lions!
This is the home of the brave, this is the home of the brave!

(Chorus)

Oh, the dear land of mine, I have offered my life for your sake!
Oh, the beautiful land of mine, I have offered my life for your sake!
Once we were liberated from the British, we became a grave for the Russians!
This is the home of the brave, this is the home of the brave!

(Chorus)

Look at these numerous skulls, that's what was left by the Russians!
Every enemy has failed, all their hopes got shattered!
Now it is obvious to everyone, this is the home of the Afghans!
This is the home of the brave, this is the home of the brave!

(Chorus)

We discuss how the US government is destabilizing the strategic Horn of Africa with Eritrean journalist Elias Amare. We talk about the conflict in Ethiopia, the TPLF's attacks on the government in the Tigray region, and the role of the Biden administration's sanctions and meddling.

Is the United States using the "humanitarian interventionist" playbook like it used to justify the devastating NATO regime-change war on Libya in 2011?

please don't call an eritrean an ethiopian, also lol @ interviewing Elias Amare, you might as well give the mic to Afwerki

The way the US has reacted to Ethiopia seems to just be that they wait to see who is winning and then condemn that side for going too far. They got outlapped condemning the government by TDF victories and now they want to put the lid back on Tigray. Make up your drat minds.
