something you hope to never hear in the US.....and probably something you'll never hear from the gubmint.
Is Xi using the Tigrayan to take control of this country?
How many will we abandon this time?
Well, we have always been at war with Ethiopia.
Why would anyone in their right mind want to go to that 3rd world craphole in the first place?
I remember the 80s, when the most dangerous job in Ethiopia was to be a tail gunner on a bread truck.
Ethiopia has had its “ups and downs.” It had a majority Christian population at different times dating back to the time of the Apostles. Italy wanted to conquer it in the 30’s because it had some wealth and upside potential. I can suppose that a fair amount of trouble now is with invaders of a certain religious cult.
Pity.
It’s beautiful there this time of year.
So sorry for the people who are caught up in this mess.
There goes my winter vacation.
Well, they wonât be white supremacists, so likely, yeah. A third world utopia.
The first priority of the deep state weenies is always to save their own fat asses and abandon the women, children and babies to the barbarian hordes.
Sad, Ethiopia was once a fine country with a long and great history.
Three guesses at to why Ethiopia is going into the dumpster and the first two don’t count.
And as they depart, they turn to the Ethiopian people one last time and say, “Abyssinia...”
Everyone will now be mobilized and all boys old enough to carry a spear will be sent to Addis Ababa.
Married men will take their wives to carry food and to cook. Those without wives will take a woman without a husband.
Women with small babies need not go.
The blind, those who cannot walk or for any reason cannot carry a spear are exempted.
Anyone found at home after receipt of this order will be hanged.
When Ethiopia goes to war they do not mess around.
Sam Kinison said the same thing 30 years ago.
Water wars of the 21st century. Itâs real itâs here and itâs growing. The future is resources. The war will be be total and complete. I am still amazed by the future wars that I should be long dead for. Exponentially expanding conflicts that I will not outlive. I am truly sorry to our younger Americans. You will grow through fire. Sorry!
While actually quite advanced as a nation, Ethiopia is literally in a hot civil war type mess.
WhileM not alone, keep in mind the TPLF were led by hard left Marxist and WHO head Tedros for decades, and they are again raping anything with legs, and destroying whatever they can find.
Then there is the usual conflicted hard left socialist Clinton/Obama type US administration, pushing African nations into Putins sphere.
Think “Arab Spring”, only this time its Ethiopia and Nigeria, (ALSO synonymous with the Obama/Clinton “Vatican Spring” essentially getting rid of Benedict and replacing him with hard left social and political marxist, and Putin loving, actually Italian derived Bergoglio/Francis, who was involved with the KGB/FSB spread of liberation theology throughout Latin America). And this was happening while Clinton/Obama were heavy into Uranium 1, and the far worse Skolkovo Project, even while Putin was taking Eastern Ukraine and the entire Northern Black Sea.
“Ethiopia felt the U.S. in particular was aligning with Egypt, [oddly enough, Russia has now once again become dominant geopolitically and militarily in Egypt as well], in the ongoing dispute over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken further evoked the ire of Addis Ababa in March by accusing forces in Tigray of âethnic cleansing.â
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov then met with Ethiopian counterpart Demeke Mekonnen in June. Moscow proceeded with the deployment of election observers to Ethiopia, whereas the EU withdrew its observers, citing âongoing violence across the country, human rights violations and political tensions, harassment of media workers and detained opposition members.â
SOCHI, RUSSIA - OCTOBER 23, 2019: Ethiopiaâ Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (4th L) and Russiaâs President Vladimir Putin (2nd R) during Russian-Ethiopian talks on the sidelines of the 2019 Russia-Africa Summit at the Sirius Park of Science and Art.
Russia has supplied strategic weapons both as a potential defense against any Egyptian strike on the GERD and to aid government forces in Tigray.
âGains by the Tigray Defence Force (TDF), which has captured parts of the Afar and Amhara regions in recent weeks, make the provision of desperately needed weapons all the more important for Addis Ababa, and Moscow is likely to oblige to such a request, possibly on a buy-now-pay-later basis,â said Louw Nel, senior political analyst at NKC African Economics.
In what Nel flagged as a âsign of things to come,â Ethiopia and Russia signed a military cooperation agreement in July, focused specifically on knowledge and technology transfers.”

23 various minerals are available in Ethiopia so someone is making money by being there.
Afghanistan is full of various rare minerals and is why Russia, then the U.S. and now China have been there.
