You must be the dumbest person to ask that question! You’re mixing politics with technical assessments. Abiy Ahmed leads the country, yes but institutions like the International Monetary Fund and World Bank don’t “run” sovereign nations; they evaluate economic data based on their own methodologies. Questioning data quality isn’t the same as declaring a government illegitimate or “untrustworthy.” Every country developed or developing has faced scrutiny over statistics at some point. If you want a serious discussion, focus on evidence what the government says not some western country propaganda.

@LifeisB21746292 @CohenOnAfrica So, you think #AbiyAhmedAli who manufactures progress numbers for political purposes and declared by #WorldBank and #IMF as unreliable is more trustworthy?

Senator Jeanne Shaheen is urging Secretary Rubio to maintain U.S. food assistance to Ethiopia, warning that cuts could leave up to 3.1 million people without aid during the critical lean season. With food insecurity projected to rise to 16 million, she cautions this could trigger a humanitarian crisis. The U.S. should act now to sustain lifesaving support, prevent further instability, and work with partners to ensure uninterrupted aid reaches the most vulnerable communities. semafor.com/article/05/01/…

Addis Standard continues to present “news recaps” while ignoring a key fact: its license to operate under Ethiopian law was revoked. You can’t claim credibility while bypassing the legal framework of a sovereign country and operating from abroad without authorization. This isn’t about silencing media it’s about respecting the rule of law.

This is a painful and unacceptable reality. Ethiopians who have lived, worked, and contributed in South Africa should never be targets of violence no matter who they are or where they come from. But let’s be clear: reducing this to “black South Africans attacking Ethiopians” ignores the deeper issues. Violence like this often grows out of economic hardship, political tension, and failures in leadership not simple identity. At the same time, it is deeply disturbing to see people who once stood in solidarity now being attacked. That contradiction needs to be addressed honestly. No community deserves to be beaten or murdered. Accountability must be demanded from authorities, and protection must be guaranteed for all African migrants. Turning this into blame games or broad generalizations will not solve anything. What’s needed is truth, responsibility, and real action to stop the violence.

Ethiopia backed African liberation movements especially the African National Congress in South Africa by offering refuge, military training, and even an Ethiopian passport to Nelson Mandela during apartheid. Through the Organization of African Unity, it provided diplomatic, financial, and logistical support across the continent, helping legitimize anti-colonial struggles from South Africa 🇿🇦 to Somalia 🇸🇴 solidarity some say has since been met with hostility toward Ethiopian migrants in South Africa.

Now Ethiopians in South Africa are being attacked, murdered and beaten by the very black South Africans they supported

@DahlaKib He got the bite 😂

The top Democrat on the US Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee urged Secretary of State Marco Rubio not to end food assistance for millions of Ethiopians, warning of a potential “humanitarian catastrophe” amid renewed tensions in the northern Tigray region. semafor.com/article/05/01/…

That’s a lot more confidence than even the United States Intelligence Community usually claims for itself. Intelligence assessments aren’t “undeniable facts” handed down from above their analyses based on sources, interpretations, and sometimes incomplete or conflicting data. Even top agencies have been wrong before, from the Iraq War intelligence failures to other misreads around the world. Questioning a claim isn’t “insulting intelligence” it’s exactly how serious people evaluate information. If the evidence is truly strong, it should stand up to scrutiny instead of demanding blind acceptance

@LifeisB21746292 @CohenOnAfrica Are you seriously trying to tell the American diplomats that the information was not accurate? 😂The American intelligence community knows everything. They come equipped with undeniable, indisputable evidence. Stop insulting our intelligence by denying what is painfully obvious.

This claim is misleading and shaped by political agendas, particularly narratives pushed by actors like Reporters Without Borders that often ignore sovereign legal frameworks. Ethiopia, like any independent country, has laws governing media operations. No outlet local or foreign can legally operate without proper licensing. When a license is revoked due to violations of national regulations, it is a legal matter, not “press suppression.” Framing enforcement of media laws as a “crackdown” is a distortion. It overlooks the responsibility of media institutions to operate within the legal boundaries of the country they report in. Attempts to politicize this issue, especially by external actors with regional interests, specifically Addis standard, only spread misinformation rather than reflect the full reality on the ground. Remember to pay attention like Addis standard media that paid by our biggest enemy Egypt, instead of focusing on the truth they always spread misinformation to gain attention.

#World_Press_Freedom_Day: #Ethiopia slums to 148th in 2026 Global Index amid conflicts, crackdowns against independent media Independent media environment in Ethiopia has suffered yet another setback, falling to 148th place in the 2026 Reporters Without Borders (RSF) World Press Freedom Index. Ethiopia’s score declined to 34.66 from 36.92 the previous year. Nowhere is this mounting pressure more evident than in the sustained #security and #administrative actions targeting #Addis_Standard. Over the past year alone, the outlet’s tri-lingual publication has been subjected to multiple crackdowns. addisstandard.com/?p=56743

@martinplaut They not Ethiopian that flag is not Ethiopia flag.. I think Sweden new flag they trying to change

Stockholm, Sweden: The Ethiopian diaspora joins protests against the forthcoming election. They reject it as a sham with the nation is engulfed in conflict and hunger, with millions displaced

That tweet is built on accusations, not evidence. Throwing around words like “genocide” and “staging ground” without verified, independently confirmed proof isn’t analysis it’s propaganda. Serious claims require serious evidence. Selectively citing reports, stretching interpretations, and presenting speculation as fact is misleading. Complex regional conflicts like what’s happening in Sudan cannot be reduced to conspiracy threads blaming one country without clear, verifiable accountability. Ethiopia hosting the African Union does not make it a “hub” for crimes, and repeating unproven allegations about support for the Rapid Support Forces doesn’t make them true. If the goal is truth, bring full, transparent evidence not narratives designed to provoke outrage. Spreading claims without proof only fuels division and distracts from real accountability where it actually belongs. What’s so important about Sudan so far when all Egypt and Egyptian paid media they barking like a dog but so far there’s no one from the Sudanese government come out and say Ethiopia is helping RFS except you, paid by Egyptian government can say that.

WHY DOES ETHIOPIA SUPPORT GENOCIDE IN SUDAN? How did the host of the African Union become a staging ground for a g*nocide against indigenous Africans? Under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, Ethiopia is supporting the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia. Reuters reported on a secret training camp for the RSF in the Benishangul region of western Ethiopia that borders Sudan, with the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab exposing how an Ethiopian army base is being used to assist the militia. In addition, Ethiopia is serving as the primary transit hub for Emirati weapons to the RSF, making it an active participant in the destruction of Sudan. Since 2018, the UAE has functioned as Ethiopia’s financial lifeline. But this billions-of-dollars in "assistance" comes with a blood-stained price tag: supporting Abu Dhabi’s sub-imperial project. The UAE’s goal is extraction: loot Sudan’s gold, seize its agricultural wealth and control its strategic Red Sea ports. To achieve this, they have turned Ethiopia into a corridor for weapons used to perpetrate g*nocide. Nonetheless, Ethiopia is just one piece of a "Ring of Fire" the UAE has built around Sudan by leveraging its petro-dollars. On Sudan's western border, Chad operates as a supply hub under the guise of "humanitarian aid," even as the RSF kills the Chadian President’s own kin. On Sudan's northern border, territory controlled by Khalifa Haftar's Libyan National Army, an Emirati proxy, is used to funnel arms. On Sudan's southern borders, the Central African Republic and South Sudan serve as logistical chains for the RSF. The RSF have found support in the Horn of Africa too. Kenya and Uganda hosted the militia. The autonomous Puntland region of Somalia was used to facilitate RSF supplies. But after Somalia kicked out the UAE for violating its sovereignty, Ethiopia became the indispensable gateway for the UAE's project. This is the ultimate betrayal of Pan-Africanism. Abiy Ahmed is participating in a cycle where African states destroy one another to benefit an external master. When sovereignty is for sale to the highest bidder, the scramble for Africa never ends. @VoxUmmah @venanalysis @qiaocollective @ProgIntl @KawsachunNews @OrinocoTribune @blkagendareport @SoberaniaPod

@Quiwza @solassefa @cgtnafrica 😂 Claims like this need evidence, not assumptions.

@solassefa @LifeisB21746292 @cgtnafrica Greed for excessive money.

#Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday warned its nationals that overstaying in #Ethiopia will attract steep penalties under new immigration regulations, including fines of up to $5,000 and daily surcharges. Authorities say the rules also permit the Ethiopian Immigration and Citizenship Services to seize and sell property if offenders fail to pay.

Every nation designs its immigration policies based on its own priorities, economic realities, and legal framework. Penalties are meant to deter violations and ensure compliance, not to mirror what other countries are doing. What may seem “absurd” from one perspective could be considered necessary enforcement from another. Many countries impose strict consequences for overstaying or violating immigration rules it’s not unique. The real issue isn’t whether the penalties match other nations, but whether individuals respect and follow the laws in place.

@LifeisB21746292 @cgtnafrica The fact that we get to set the law doesn't mean it can be unjust. The stipulated penalities are absurd and out of touch with what other nations are practicing.

“I don’t understand why this person is spreading false information. Whether people believe it or not, it’s important to focus on facts and verified sources instead of rumors.” You should ask him! Why he Spreading false or exaggerated claims about Ethiopia doesn’t make them true. Facts over propaganda. Evidence over prejudice as a usual western narrative.

@LifeisB21746292 @CohenOnAfrica Others need medicines but why is ET food insecure?

“Deep silence” is one way to describe it — when people are too scared to speak, it gets real quiet real fast. After 33 years under Isaias Afwerki, the only thing growing faster than “self-reliance” is the number of Eritreans leaving and not coming back. When your biggest export is your own people, that’s not resilience that’s a red flag. No elections, indefinite national service, zero independent media… but yes, let’s call it “mighty outcomes.” If success is measured by silence, then sure mission accomplished. If it’s measured by how many citizens actually want to stay, that’s a different story. So many dumb Eritrean diaspora people still think the candle is going up 😂

While others make noise, Eritrea works in deep silence — humble in effort, mighty in outcome and lets its success tell the story of a resilient, self-reliant nation. Happy Independence Month ! #Eritrea #EritreaShinesAt35

Interesting timing. For months, silence. Then right after the Prime Minister highlights that those needing aid dropped from 23 million to under 3 million suddenly there’s urgency? If this concern was truly about humanitarian need, it didn’t start yesterday. Why wasn’t this same energy there before? Why no consistent voice when the numbers were higher? It’s hard not to question the timing. When attention appears only after progress is mentioned, it starts to look less like concern and more like a coordinated narrative. Humanitarian support should never be selective or reactive to headlines. It should be consistent, transparent, and based on facts not convenient moments.

This claim is completely baseless and reads like recycled propaganda rather than verified reporting. Throwing around accusations about Ethiopia supporting the RSF with “drones and mercenaries” without a single piece of credible evidence only exposes the lack of facts behind it. Serious allegations especially ones tied to a devastating conflict like the Sudan war require verifiable proof, not anonymous claims and speculation. Repeating unverified narratives doesn’t make them true; it just spreads misinformation and distracts from real accountability. If there is actual evidence, present it. Otherwise, stop pushing narratives designed to mislead people.

A strategic drones belonging to the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces militia, coming from Ethiopia, is targeting the city of Bakuri in the Blue Nile region. Military convoys arriving from Ethiopian territory, along with mercenaries and drones, continue to support the RSF, which has been responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths in the Sudan war.

@ThePresidentUg @cgtnafrica Ask museveni, I am Ethiopian

@LifeisB21746292 @cgtnafrica Should Uganda do the same?

@NeftalemF @PhulusoGunyukun @cgtnafrica If you already know the price tag lol then don’t do it. Common sense!

@PhulusoGunyukun @LifeisB21746292 @cgtnafrica What we did is not fair. don't follow us. Yes, there should be penalty; but 5,000 USD is exploitative. Be better than us. Yes penalty is one thing. Depending on case by case; bring the illegal migrants to court and depedning on their case, follow your own laws..but be humane

“Fairness in immigration laws goes both ways. Every country has the sovereign right to enforce its rules, and those rules apply to all foreign nationals equally. If Ethiopians abroad are expected to respect local laws, then the same standard should apply to anyone in Ethiopia. It’s not about targeting anyone it’s about consistency and mutual respect.” People’s have a reason why they migrate, I cannot speak for them. I done it myself and I become someone else country citizen.

@LifeisB21746292 @cgtnafrica The issue is about handling of immigration, the question is whether you will find it fair if we impose same laws you impose on your people. Thats all.

We Ethiopian we been there for S.African It’s up to you how you want to treat us today’s society. We proud what we did and we always going to our brothers and sisters keepers no matter what you think about us. Facts! 1. Early political support Ethiopia was one of the few independent African states during the colonial era, and it consistently spoke out against racial oppression. It supported liberation movements diplomatically through organizations like the Organization of African Unity, which was headquartered in Addis Ababa. 2. Military training and assistance Ethiopia provided training and support to members of the African National Congress (ANC) and its armed wing. Fighters received military education and logistical help as part of broader African solidarity. 3. Hosting liberation movements Addis Ababa became a hub for African liberation movements. Ethiopia gave space and political backing to anti-apartheid leaders and organizations working in exile. 4. Symbolic and diplomatic leadership Under Emperor Haile Selassie, Ethiopia played a strong role in promoting African unity and resistance to colonialism and racial segregation. This moral leadership helped build continental pressure against apartheid. 5. Collective African effort While Ethiopia played an important role, it was part of a wider effort that included countries like Tanzania, Zambia, and Algeria, all of which contributed in different ways training fighters, hosting exiles, and lobbying internationally.

@LifeisB21746292 @cgtnafrica 90% of Ethiopians in SA are on fake documents either asylum or fraudulent ones. We thank you for introducing us to this stringent ones. Can you share full documents
