@mkheirom That is a good point. The two thuggish groups are incompatible and never agree. Their so-called alliance stems from their common enemy, the so-called Prosperity Party. The so-called Eritrean regime is a vassal of Ethiopia's historical enemies , mainly Egypt.

Now that the #US has imposed visa restrictions on what it termed 'hardline' leaders of the #TPLF and that the #Eritrean regime is keen to improve its relations with the US, #Eritrea may throw the TPLF under the bus, not coming to its rescue if attacked by the federal Ethiopian government. For the Eritrean regime, it has always been its survival that is the most important issue.

@BleacherReport @FOXSports Despite the fact that the league is terrible, the USA national team never disappoints. The team is consistently competitive and has the potential to win the World Cup in the near future.

@addisstandard They're not human creaturesThey lack humanity, sympathy, and empathy. They are incapable of achieving anything beneficial other than inciting the youth and sending them to battle. They are a curse to the people of Tigray and all of Ethiopia.They will hide after starting a fire .

News: #TPLF rejects #US visa restrictions, says #Washington overlooked failures in #Pretoria Agreement implementation
In a statement issued on 19 June, a day after the U.S. State Department announced the restrictions, the TPLF said it respects the #United_States' role in supporting peace efforts in the Horn of #Africa but expressed "deep concern" over the decision.
"The recent visa restrictions appear to be based on an incomplete and imbalanced assessment of the situation and place responsibility on the TPLF while overlooking the #Federal_Government of #Ethiopia's persistent failure to implement its obligations under the #Pretoria_Agreement," the statement said.

@TouchlineX The timing is intentionally chosen to distract players from challenging the French team. Why not wait till the end of the World Cup? This is completely ridiculous.

@AbrarSuleiman I used to respect this man for his tireless work in defending the Ethiopian dam and exposing Egyptian officials' lies. Unfortunately, he has now become the mouthpiece for the Belegena Party. Don't people disappear in Ethiopia without a trace? Why not talk about them if you have
English

@amggebre This fat idiot is the most corrupt among the OPEDO criminals. He served as a minion for the TPLF and today he is serving Abiy and his criminal thugs. He looted the country dry. He spent 230 million birr for his son’s wedding. His son drives a 30 million birr car. He is disgusting
English

@Titys21 There isn’t a single group to choose from. Each uses its ethnic group to get power and secure economic benefit itself . Ethnic groups are their pawns. Everyone blames the certified thug in power as if he/she would do different if he/ she were in power. Backward politics.
English

@Jawar_Mohammed Neither the TPLF thugs nor the OPEDO criminals are the answer to the country's problems. I should add that neither your worn-out party nor the so-called OLA are the solution. All of the ethnic parties have one thing in common: stirring conflicts to gain and stay in power.

Washington’s new sanctions on TPLF may accelerate conflict rather than prevent it. Here is my take.
The United States has announced visa restrictions on selected TPLF leaders and their families, hoping to deter them from pushing Tigray back into war with the federal government. Will this sanction achieve its intended objective? I doubt it. In fact, I fear it may have the opposite effect.
At this stage, the TPLF faces only two choices: fight or surrender. Externally, the federal government has steadily tightened the screws through budget cuts and severe restrictions on essential goods and services entering Tigray. Internally, the party is grappling with deep factional divisions and growing public frustration. Faced with these twin pressures, TPLF leaders seem to have concluded that war offers a better chance of political survival than capitulation. Their calculation is straightforward: a renewed conflict could restore internal discipline, rebuild cohesion, and rally a frustrated population around collective defense rather than socio-economic grievances.
Will a US visa ban force them to reconsider? Unlikely. If anything, it may convince them that the diplomatic path has effectively closed, making the battlefield appear to be their only remaining option. The sanction itself is largely symbolic. Most of the targeted officials are already unable to travel freely outside Tigray, save for limited access to neighboring countries such as Eritrea and Sudan. For political actors who increasingly view their situation in existential terms, a travel restriction is hardly a meaningful deterrent. Some may argue that extending the sanction to family members increases pressure. Having observed, studied and campaigned against TPLF leaders for years, I am skeptical that concern for their children’s travel prospects will alter decisions they perceive as matters of political survival.
There is also a broader problem. TPLF is not the only actor involved in the emerging confrontation. It has built relationships and understandings with other forces that view conflict with the federal government as increasingly likely. Unless those actors are similarly incentivized to step back from the brink, it would be extraordinarily risky for TPLF to de-escalate unilaterally. Doing so could leave it isolated and vulnerable against a far stronger federal state. Under such circumstances, the sanction offers little incentive short of outright surrender.
More fundamentally, what guarantee is Washington offering in return? The US, the AU, and much of the international community were guarantors of the Pretoria Agreement, yet they largely walked away from enforcing its implementation when disputes emerged. Why should TPLF believe that diplomacy will protect its interests now? A small stick without any accompanying carrot is unlikely to inspire confidence, particularly when it comes from an administration whose positions are often perceived as shifting with changing realities on the ground.
There is another glaring omission. The sanctions focus exclusively on TPLF leaders, yet the actual military deployment toward Tigray is being carried out by the federal government. Equally concerning is the increasingly belligerent rhetoric coming from senior military commanders and federal officials over the past several days. Their statements and saber-rattling suggest a level of preparedness and willingness to wage war that, at least for now, appears greater than that of the Tigrayan side. If the objective is genuinely to prevent conflict, why is this aspect being ignored? Why is the pressure being applied only to one side while the other side’s military preparations and escalation signals escape scrutiny?
For these reasons, I fear the sanctions may produce precisely the opposite outcome from what Washington intends: accelerating the path to war by convincing TPLF that diplomacy is exhausted, while simultaneously emboldening Abiy Ahmed’s government to act more aggressively.
I sincerely hope I am proven wrong.
An important question also comes to mind: what, exactly, did Abiy promise or offer Donald Trump in exchange for this sanction? Given the remarks Trump made during his meeting yesterday with Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Ethiopians would do well to keep a close eye on GERD.

@BarcaUniversal Gordon, who hardly showed up in today's game, was signed by Farcelona for $80, whereas Rashford, whom Farcelona refused to pay $30 million to sign, scored a fantastic goal ten minutes after being introduced. One of the worst blunders in the history of the game.
