This letter from #Ethiopia's Foreign Minister to @SecRubio appears to be the latest attempt for Addis to prepare its case for a renewed conflict with Eritrea. The Trump Admin is in desperate need of a Horn of Africa policy before the ongoing and future conflicts all converge.

Michelle and I think that Julie Mehretu’s art installation, titled “Uprising of the Sun,” will be one of the most important aspects of the Obama Presidential Center and an iconic contribution to the South Side and the city of Chicago. We can’t wait for you to see it.

For anyone confused about UAE's unwavering support to Abiy, it is all about business and influence, which will likely inc Ethiopia using UAE owned ports (in Somaliland). UAE will recoup multiple times more than their relatively minor investments thru obscure unofficial channel

Apparently, there was a case seen by the Fed Court on crimes against liberty & reputation of persons under the Computer Crime Proclamation, Article 13. The defamation case was filed by artist Helen Bedilu. The court found the defendants guilty & sentenced them to up to 8 years 😮

According to @ethiopiainsider, a new bill is awaiting parliamentary approval granting the director of the Immigration and Citizenship Service full authority to add or remove individuals from the immigration blacklist, transferring this power from the courts to the director. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
