RED SEA REPORT

Only few weeks back, J-War was saying " Because Abiy is illiterate, he can't look further than tomorrow, and he looks at things in a simplistic form. With his current capacity, Abiy is in no position to fight against Eritrea or Tigrayan forces except a cowards courage. Abiy has sold Ethiopia's souveignity to the UAE and what we witness today is he is being forced to wage war by his handlers and bosses.' #Eritrea #Ethiopia

Honourable @Ed_Miliband, the #Ethiopian Foreign Minister you have just shaken hands with was training to operate a Kalashnikov just a week before attending COP31. see attached pictures His government has also purchased 12 Russian SU-35 fighter jets and S-400 air defence systems at a cost of $4 billion. Meanwhile, Ethiopia is in the midst of one of the worst civil wars in its history, with government forces killing their own citizens using drones and artillery, while committing atrocities amounting to genocide in the Amhara region.

Almost every leader and politician in the world has told Abiy that he does not have a leg to stand on when it comes to owning any sovereign coastal territory. Five US senators @USSenators have now written explicitly to Secretary of State Marco Rubio @SecRubio as follows. ..'In particular, any discussion of a military acquisition of the Port of #Assab should be off the table and we urge the State Department to avoid offering Port acquisition as diplomatic tool during any negotiation. It should be made clear that any attempt by the #Ethiopian government to forcibly access the Port of Assab will not be supported or accepted by the United States.' @BBCWorld @BBCAfrica @cgtnafrica @trtafrika @Reuters @ReutersAfrica @AJEnglish

The paradox of cyber General J-WAR who is gunning to unseat the #Eritrean government using his amazing oratory and AI military authoring skills. Drinking beer when it suits you and being ultra religious when not.

Over the past few days, many of Abiy’s media sycophants have been circulating a load of fabricated stories about the capture of Badme town. They seem to think they are being clever by trying to create divisions between #Tigrayans and #Eritreans. They are hoping that some Tigrayans will become so emotionally invested in the Badme issue that they will be drawn into supporting Abiy’s war against #Eritrea. Just as Abiy has used border towns such as Welkait, Moyale and Raya to extend his grip on power, he is now trying to use Badme for the same purpose. That is precisely why #Ximdo was created in the first place. Engagement of people in border towns to engage in sustainable peace. #Eritreans are already two steps ahead! @StalinTeklu @tigraionline @OmnaTigray @ElsaHagos3

Ja-War has drunk the Kool-Aid. He has become so convinced of his own BS that he now seems to believe it without question. Yesterday, he told us that, since Abiy Ahmed’s well-funded and institutionalised one-million-strong social media army has failed to make any impact in promoting the war agenda against #Eritrea, he has now been deployed to spearhead the downfall of the #Eritrean government and the handover of Assab to Abiy, using his supposedly unique and proven social media skills. He writes: "Have you forgotten, comrades, that we are the professionals who pioneered the mobilisation of #Ethiopian and Horn of #Africa politics on social media—and achieved remarkable results?" [Like the overthrow of the TPLF.] Today, he has written at length about fantastical military scenarios outlining how Abiy could administer Eritrea following the overthrow of its government and the capture of the #Eritrean coast. All we have to say is this: successive #Ethiopian military generals (real generals) have drawn up plans, developed strategies and sacrificed millions of soldiers in pursuit of such #ambitions, only to end up dead, deposed or captured. Yet this fool, called Ja-war, sitting in front of a computer and inciting violence, misery and the fragmentation of Ethiopian society across multiple regions—particularly #Amhara, #Oromia and #Somali—must be held accountable. He cannot be allowed to export his dangerous, divisive and destabilising politics to Eritrea and beyond. @NeaminZeleke @Lidetu_Ayalew @StalinTeklu @HOAAffairs @HabtamuAyalew21 @EliasAmare @hadnetkeleta @Yehdavid @EIshmael_ @milkessam @Ghidewon

Let's Talk About the Opportunist Jawar Mohammed! Everyone knows that Jawar Mohammed rose to prominence by capitalising on #Oromo grievances and championing the idea of an independent #Oromia, employing the same populist tactics used by political movements around the world. Today, he is once again seeking political prominence through the following approaches: ➡️Inflaming ethnic tensions by fueling divisions between the Oromo and other ethnic groups in #Ethiopia, particularly the #Amhara and #Somali communities. ➡️Defending Abiy's government by positioning himself as a defender of Abiy's government against a coalition of opposition forces. He fears that the Oromo could lose their grip on power and that his own ambition of becoming Prime Minister could disappear with it. In doing so, he invokes the populist narrative of preventing #Ethiopia from collapsing. ➡️Promoting Abiy's war agenda by endorsing Abiy's ambition to invade #Eritrea and capture #Assab, championing the populist and and reckless slogan of 'Now or Never' to capture #Eritrean coastal territory. These, alongside other dangerous and often contradictory political positions, are all part of a populist strategy seemingly designed to pave Jawhar's way to Ethiopia's leadership. What makes Jawar particularly peculiar is that almost everyone listens to what he has to say, yet no-one trust him, yet he cannot simply be ignored either, because he has mastered the use of social media to manipulate people's emotions and exploit their vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, Ethiopia provides fertile ground for such manipulation, given the deep-rooted ethnic, religious and other subnational sentiments that can easily be exploited. We will therefore continue exposing his dangerous political tactics he uses in social media, which seek to instill fear and hostility between communities, incite people against one another and encourage violence, all while positioning himself to eventually seize political power. @NeaminZeleke @Lidetu_Ayalew @StalinTeklu @RArarssa @BekeleGerbaOFC @milkessam @OLF_OLA @zborkena

If Abiy had not become #Ethiopia's Prime Minister by accident, he would probably be known only in certain corners of Beshasha as a certified liar and a delusional madman. Unfortunately, he is currently the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, and we have to continue exposing his lies and hypocrisies until he is removed from power. Just nine months after taking office in 2018, Abiy gave this interview in Davos. Watching it today is beyond embarrassing for everyone concerned. In this clip, the interviewer prompts Abiy to talk about Ethiopia's lack of ports and how he was not afraid to travel to #Asmara to meet President Isaias. For a man who today considers access to the sea an existential issue for Ethiopia, expresses sorrow over #Eritrea's independence and speaks angrily about how Ethiopia lost its ports, his answers in this interview expose his sheer hypocrisy. Given the opportunity, this would be the ideal place to say something about an existential issue for Ethiopia. Alas, Not only does he fail to mention the port issue, but he goes on to claim that Asmara is safer than Davos and that conflicts are merely a reflection of the egos of political leaders. I know everyone is aware of Abiy's hypocrisy and double standards, but his army of media sycophants works tirelessly, spreading misinformation and obscuring reality to manufacture their own version of the truth. These facts point to the central reasons why Abiy wants to turn the port issue into an existential question: 1) To divert the attention of the #Ethiopian people from the enormous crisis facing the country, the worst in its history. - The port issue was never part of Abiy’s agenda until the UAE offered him several billion dollars and asked him to act as its agent. @BBCWorld @Reuters @ReutersAfrica @BBCAfrica @AJEnglish @trtafrika @cgtnafrica @CrisisGroup @sputnik_africa @_AfricanUnion @SecRubio @US_SrAdvisorAF @mfa_russia @antonioguterres
