Lucy, 3.2m yr old fossil, is currently on display in Abu Dhabi, UAE, a conflict zone. The process by which this priceless heritage artifact was approved for travel to the UAE was never clearly communicated or discussed. The fossil could remain exposed to missile or drone attacks.

secondary reaction to a third party’s plan. In fact, Iran could have argued that it was entitled to undertake a preemptive response to an impending Israeli attack on its territory, given that such an attack itself would have constituted a direct and imminent threat. 2/2

Sec Rubio framed Operation Epic Fury as a preemptive strike intended to forestall retaliatory attacks by Iran following an expected Israeli assault on Iranian targets. But preemptive strike is justified in the face of an imminent threat, not merely to head off a speculative 1/2

Major military strikes by the US& Israel against Iran are underway. This could mark the beginning of a far broaderand consequential escalation, one that may reshape the world order as we know it. Will the UNSC continue its deafening silence, even in the face of such a moment?

It’s that moment again: when Abiy Ahmed heads to Azerbaijan for an arms shopping spree, a new killing spree soon follows.

“Managed exhaustion!” That’s the strategy: fuel blocked, aid restricted, banks capped, cash squeezed, budgets and salaries choked. Tigray isn’t failing, it’s being deliberately drained. Sources say this isn’t accidental. It’s policy, by design and desire!

@meklit218 That is the case here. It is a direct assault on the organizing principle of the union.

The Ethiopian National Election Board is shooting at the Ethiopian statehood undoing the union of the federation setting a precedence that resembles what the last Ethiopian emperor do to the Eritrean federation and Derg’s late map redrawing to curve Asssab away out of Eritrea.

@Solomon_A_D Do you really have to lie to win arguments? The US never redraws election maps to take territories from one state to give it to another. That is unthinkable. So, do not open your mouth to talk about something you know nothing about.

@DadeDesta You’re making a mountain out of a molehill. It’s customary in many countries to do redraw election maps. In the US, election districts/maps are being redrawn in preparation for the midterm election.

@GGProudET You think this is cold stat? Have no interest here to ration percentages to the genocidal forces. All were invited, coordinated, sprearheaded by the fed government. If you are one of them, be a man, own it and show remorse. Otherwise, I am sure you are doomed to do it again.

@DadeDesta There was no genocide and there will not be one. According to the Tigray Transitional Government's investigation, 85% of war crimes committed in Tigray were by Eritrean forces, which u r now kissing their a _ _. 99% of war crimes in Amhara and Afar were committed by the TPLF/TDF.

2.0 genocidal war against Tigray appears imminent. Genocides often unfold before the world fully recognizes the warning signs. Absurd! same 6mln victims are once again targeted in 5 yrs before healing the 1st. Some victims siding with the very forces that once victimized them.

@DadeDesta Man, that is past, closed under the peace agreement and have no need of arguing about the past. Now it is another time and another scenario. The ENDF has the constitutional right to protect any of Ethiopia's borders whenever it prefers without anyone's permission except the PM.

@GGProudET Why would ENDF defend the border while it was ENDF& EDF, at the invitation of the former, that jointly massacred Tigrayans (2020-2022)& left the border open for the latter? An ENDF soldier wrote this on a wall in Wukro: ለኤርትራ አሳልፈን ሰጠናቹህ፣ ጠብሰው ይብሏቹህ!

@DadeDesta ENDF is there to protect Ethiopia's border, not to fight with the TPLF, which you translated as "Tegaru." As you know, Ethiopia's government called on the Eritrean government to withdraw from illegally occupied places. Only TPLF provocation can trigger a war in tigray.

@Haregeweyni1 Yes, he is. He is also supporting SNF against RSF and the Somali Federal Gov agaisnt Somaliland. Turkey and UAE were part of the Tigray genocide by supporting AAA. One everything else, they don't see eye to eye.

Edrogan’s visit to UAE is cancled allegedly due to MBZ’s undisclosed illness. Truth: MBZ didn’t want to meet Edrogan b4 AbiyAhmed started his war on Tigray-Eritrea. MBZ seeks more leverage to deal as a relevant actor of a wider agenda than as only RSF boss. War is in the offing!

The OAU was instrumental as agency of collective force against decolonization& in dismantling apartheid. AU today a voice of the rotten status quo, marked by dereliction and unable even to speak against a genocide unfolding less than 1hr flight from its own headquarters. Shitty!
