Exactly 60 yrs ago my Dad, who was a lieutenant #Ethiopia in King Haileselasie's Royal Guard, recv'd a letter ordering a reduction of .30 cents from his Nov. salary as payment for personal phone call he made to Jimma. Today I heard over 2.5 billion is unaccounted for #Ethiopian

The way I understand it, #Ethiopia is yet again on a brink of another war. This time mainly over the TIMING and PROCESS of dissolution of ethnically organized regional special forces. Makes no sense! Need talks before 100k die. #Ethiopian

"Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress." @BarackObama #Ethiopian @Ethiopia

Barack Obama@BarackObama

What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress.

Hard to make sense of such idiocy and daily ritual of causing self-inflicted wounds on many fronts in #Ethiopia #Ethiopian

#WomenInJournalism@CFWIJ

#Ethiopia: Police abducts Amhara journalists. Yeneta Media’s #GenetAsmamaw forcefully taken from her office, verbally harassed & manhandled. No justification given or legal procedure initiated. #CFWIJ shocked by the illegal actions of police. We demand an immediate investigation.

2/3 of #Ethiopians r either Oromo, Amhara or both. There's no danger more volatile, devastating & enduring than seeds of fracture & venom of ethnic hatred b/n the two. It's a wild fire that all must rush to put out! Can oppose or support the gov't w/o feeding the fire. #Ethiopia

Sad to hear today that >3 million livestock have died in Borena, #Ethiopia region. The current drought is driven by multiple year La Niña. Here👇is my conversation a year ago with @fanatelevision about the continued drought and what we could do about it. youtube.com/watch?v=IaiPWj…

The primary victim of extremism is the simple concept of “balance.” One may have issues with some aspect of King #Menelik’s rule. But #Ethiopian victory at #Adwa wouldn’t have existed w/o his leadership. You can add other heroes w/o dissing the King! #Ethiopia

The victory of Adwa was a turning point in Africa's struggle against European imperialism, proving that Africans could successfully resist colonialism. It inspired other anti-colonial movements and contributed to the development of African nationalism. Let the spirit prevail

We rarely hear about #Afar contribution to major wars, even the most recent one. That needs to change. We must be given due credit to our contribution of this great country🇪🇹. Otherwise, it would all have been in vain.

Over due message to both Oromo extremists in PP & outside as well as Amhara extremists pushing a country of 120 million to the brink to quench a hegemonic greed. They don’t represent the majority of Oromo nor Amhara who must live with the rest of Ethiopians . Enough is Enough!!

@RealNewsNT @AbiyAhmedAli The way I see it, the hardline by everyone will lead to disaster. It's important to tamp down the volume & let mediation or court process resolve it. There is no other better way! What's the other solution?

English

Derege Demissie@law_dd·5 Şub

A country that found peaceful resolution of Tigray war, should find a way to resolve dispute b/n leadership of #EOTC & splintered group. How #EOTC conducts its religion is not 4 gov't to say. But @AbiyAhmedAli can facilitate mediation w/o viol. sep. of Church-State #Ethiopia

@sasmatee @AbiyAhmedAli Regardless, it's a conflict that must be resolved through dialogue and, if that fails, thought the courts. We can't allow every conflict to spiral into violence & death. And then look for peace after suffering catastrophic disaster. #Ethiopia #EOTC

@law_dd @AbiyAhmedAli Derege: There is a fact thst you need to know. This conflict is designed and being implemented by @AbiyAhmedAli. The goal is controlling the church. This is a greed mentality for the PM who once gained support from the church & its followers.

One last point on #EOTC controversy, concepts of democracy don't apply to religious orders. It's a slippery slope. Countless issue of diversity, inclusion, gender equality etc. exist in any religious order. #Ethiopia #Ethiopian
