If the UAE gets tied up in a war w/ Iran, Abiy’s position weakens. Emirati drones & funding have been key for Ethiopia. Now #Addis is also getting pulled into the Sudan war. With potentially less help & rising tensions w/ #Eritrea & #Tigray, any first strike becomes far riskier.
Today in #Addis Ababa, #Italy hosts its second Italy–Africa Summit and the first on African soil. 🇮🇹🌍
Two years ago when Giorgia #Meloni presented the Mattei Plan for #Africa, Arturo Varvelli highlighted the need to embedd the plan in EU initiatives.

Ethiopia’s Abiy is being accused of enabling RSF - incl. potentially opening up territory for training & logistics — amid Sudan’s brutal civil war. #Addis’ ties w the UAE, historical border tensions over #AlFashaga & strategic concerns around Egypt & the #GERD complicate its role
🇪🇹 Despite big ambitions like an AI university, #Ethiopia’s #education system faces deep challenges: low learning outcomes, high dropout rates, rural-urban gaps, and conflict-related school closures affecting millions. Quality must catch up with innovation. 📉📈 #Addis

More impressions from #Fendika in #Addis. Feel so honored to have met Melaku Belay, who poured his heart and soul into this space and has done incredible things for arts and culture.
Reports indicate Tigray Peace Force units advancing in southern #Tigray with alleged #ENDF air support to disrupt TPLF supply routes from Mekelle southward, while multiple ENDF drone strikes are reportedly occurring across parts of Tigray amid rising tensions. #Addis
Trump may signal IMF leverage in #GERD talks—but Ethiopia’s room to maneuver is limited. Debt pressure and FX shortages constrain choices, even as #Addis tries to hedge via China and the AU. Influence doesn’t need threats to work. #Cairo
@criticalthreats reports that Saudi is trying to contain UAE proxies #Ethiopia & RSF. In response to RSF pressure on central Sudan, Saudi escalated peace talks & involved Trump. UAE retaliated in Yemen w its proxy STC & the sending of arms to 🇪🇹. #Tigray negotiating w #Addis
#Addis has not been able to handle the most important issues: Security (multiple conflicts w millions displaced, economy (extreme inflation, weak Birr, high debt, declining investor confidence) & governance (increased polarization). Where will this go? #Tigray #Eritrea

#US military met w the Ethiopian (military) leadership. #Addis claims the US backs its illegal claim for an #Eritrean port. US did not confirm this nor did it release any statement backing Addis. If indeed untrue its worrying that a Gov could try to manipulate the IC like this
Lawless #CIA #Mossad nonsensical rant! In due time #justice⚖️ will prevail #Eritreans ‘ll get paid
The region can lawfully use resources if it wasn’t you & your puppets🐶engaging regional & #civil wars
#Eritrea trained #Ethiopians & fought all the way to #Addis
#OutCIAMossadNOW
#peace #FreedomNOW🙏
#CIA #Mossad could NOT consider to keep #Aba #Yohannes hostage,unless they bought SOULS of so-called leaders
#Facts reveal both institutions serve anti-#humanity anti-Christ NOT ppl
In #fact #colonizers built statue of pro-war lead synods in #Addis, instead Savior of #Christians #Jesus #Christ

WHY #Ethiopian gove., installed by #Mossad who unable to stop civil war since arrival is trusted by #Africa?
Reports show it was the #West operated drones fm #Addis during civil war w/Tigray ppl. Possibly still?
The #West do brag that historically #Ethiopian elites are their assets,except Meles.
The 2nd in-person training of the Youth Peace Mediators’ Mentoring Programme took place in #Addis, hosted at the African Union Headquarters. This gathering marked an important deep dive into the AU’s peace & security architecture & what it means for day-to-day mediation work on the continent.
#Addis has economically neglected the #Afar region even as it was affected by the Tigray war, climate induced droughts & migrations. Afar is now central to Abiy’s plans of invading #Eritrea’s Assab & Tigray. The people of Afar are being drawn into more conflict.
#Addis has long funded & armed TPF to attack #Tigray from #Afar as Abiy wants Tigrayans to weaken themselves. The ENDF drone strike on TDF forces is a direct result of this policy. Instead of implementing Pretoria, Abiy is arming TPF & delegitimizing TPLF which signed Pretoria.
Fighting betw #Tigray Defense force & TPF backed by Abiy is intensifying. #Addis meanwhile is choking Tigray (no budget) since he lost control of the region. W fighting ongoing in Amhara & Oromia too & Ethiopia being unable to pay its debt, another war w #Eritrea is risky
