I think there are more issues to covering Ethiopian issues. Abiye Ahmed story is the tip of the matter to be analyze about the complexity of our country, East Africa and in general the whole Africa.
I remember when I first heard of Ethiopia and Eritrea becoming allies back in 2018. I thought it was a major achievement. Then I was shocked when I heard about the Tigray War in 2020. Politicians like Abiy Ahmed are interesting, you really don't know how long their public image would last, when they go from modernizing reformers to... this.
@@thematthew761TBH, Obama getting peace prize isn't any less funny than those two getting one, kind of telling how worthless the prize really is these day.
Thats why politics should be a slow conservative process where you keep the things that work, and slowly fix the things that dont issue by issue. People who promise huge societal reform, like Joe Biden, tend to resort to forcing it if they dont get their way. Hence his reliance on a corrupt DOJ and media, and his fascist union with big tech, pharma, and the military industrial complex. Slow incremental reform allowing for adjustmments are what i look for in politicians. Things that work for a long time work for a reason.
Mengistu was never ever a prime minister. He had different prime minsters, the longest serving Fikre Selassie Wogderess. He was the president and commander in chief.
We actually haven't had it this bad in Nigeria. I remembered in the early 90s, I will pick up my Dad's TELL magazine or TIME, and Ethiopia's wars would be plastered all over the place. It's really sad. There's need for broader dialogue, a way for everyone to have something. But I fear its the tribal elites who are trying to sunder the country, much like Nigeria as well.
Thanks for amazingly precise description of current conflict in Ethiopia . It seems you are absolutely connected with Ethiopia. I am an Ethiopian with 100% Interest following the situation from north America and you nailed it with absolute precision. This video is epic!
@tedberd - I learned about just some of the complexities of Ethiopia's many ethnic groups and the ethnic hatreds of certain ethnic groups from a fellow Registered Nurse (Orthodox Christian) & it reminded me of the Balkans. I see Abiy going to war with Eritrea to at least get the southern port because they pay though the nose to get goods in through Djibouti. It's survival. I'd like to see Ethiopia develop more but Eritrea is kneecapping any chance of that. I don't favor starting wars but Eritrea is in the way (3.8 million persons) vs 145 million. I think by sometime this coming year. Eritrea is holding it's own people down and hindering Ethiopia. Prosperity could help alleviate ethnic tensions to a safer level I would hope.
@willjapheth8033 they had intervened initially. They were supporting TPLF advance to the capital. Not only that, when they overthrew the communist government of Mengistu Hailemariam, the US had supported the local militias as well. Otherwise there was no way that war would've been won. That being said, not everything warographics states here is true
@StoicS4m0r41 oh, I was more thinking of food aid intervention to prevent the famine, more so than actually picking a side militarily, but if we fully picked the Tygray side, they should've stopped the famine as well.
@FilthyAngryIrishPeasant There’s no ethnic hatred in Ethiopia. To see this you have to backtrack the history of Ethiopia. Ethiopians target always was the regime. Mostly recently the regime created ethnic federalism to divide peoples unity against the regime. The new ethnic federalism give false hope that if a lead comes from such tribe it will empower that tribe but in reality that tribes life no different than any others. Prosperity party plays the same old tactics to stay in power, it has zero police’s or plan to change ethnic federalism. All it did was change former party names 4 or 5 times.
You don't need a whole episode as an Ethiopian i can tell you. YES and as sad as it is you will be making an episode of the realization. Simon if you're reading this THANKS for the honest assessment, but it HURTS SO BAD, words can't explain how much. This is the second reporting by you I have watched about Ethiopia, and I'm on the brink of tears. You have to understand for most of the people here POOR or RICH WEAK or STRONG ETHIOIPIA is our first and last LOVE.
I’m sorry about what’s happening in Ethiopia. Your country has such a beautiful culture and it’s shame that discord has led to this. I’m Nigerian, so I only wish for peace for my African brethren 🤍
why would I lol im not american. If you dont like a place leave. I left Zuma and moved to a place that got their shit together. the problem with africans is they are unfot to rule themselves by nature. Etheopia managed to not be colonised and its still a failed state. why cant a single african country get their crap together?@@UnDark1
Ethiopia will disintegrate in to countries if the government is not careful. The army cannot keep fighting war after war, this will demoralize the army's moral.
@@ryansauchuk7290 there are a lot soldiers who refuse to fight and now imprisoned in Ethiopian. the only ones who is fighting are ethnic oromos who hate amharas and tigrayians b/c they enslaved them and conquered their lands
Wow...., a wonderfully presented narration of the entire political process of Ethiopia that has eventually brought the country to the brink of collaps. Once again thank you so much for such concise & comprehensive style of narration.
I think we can learn a basic lesson here: To right historic wrongs, violence will only perpetuate wrongs. Only peace and understanding can lead to truly healing these past wrong. Revenge will just perpetuate the cycle. Don't ask for land or money, ask to be treated the same.
Ethiopia can never have peace because it is a bunch of enemies locked into one country. Imagine locking France, Germany, and the UK into one country. That will not end up well for anyone.
@@JoeyP946 Which is why it's important to come to an understanding. Look it's never easy. It's always the classic cooperation Punnet Square. However, generally speaking, if you can negotiate up, do it. Like, if you are being mistreated but you convince the oppressor to go from a segregated society to just a racist society? Take that. Then start working on getting equal rights. Then, equal opportunity. It's annoying, it's slow, it sucks that you have to even do it... But it's the only long term way to solve the problem. Otherwise, you'll just perpetuate the cycle.
Usually these multi ethnic disaster states in Africa are conveniently blamed by locals on colonialist Europeans but they cannot do that with Ethiopia which maintained its independence and is a state whose roots go back thousands of years as a multi ethnic empire.
Congratulations there is *one * country in Africa that managed to have issues without European imperialism, making it worse. This isn’t the argument you seem to think it is buddy
@@blackwatertv7018 It 100% is as it shows you that with out European intervention Africa would be nothing but savage tribes ending each other endlessly.
You explained everything that's happening right know in the country. For your knowledge those guys who crowded your comment box ,are Abiy Ahmed's cyber armies.
Dear journalist, Abiy is widely regarded as one of the best leaders in Africa. It is important to acknowledge that many of the problems we see today have deep roots that extend back to previous administrations. Abiy has taken on the immense responsibility of addressing these long-standing issues and working towards their resolution. While it is unrealistic to expect him to solve all problems immediately, he is committed to shouldering the burden and making significant strides towards positive change.
Abiy has been an advocate for African unity and integration, emphasizing the importance of collective action to address common challenges. He has actively engaged in regional organizations, such as the African Union, to promote cooperation among African nations.
Absolutely, this criticism seems unjustified and overly simplistic. The situation he's in is a classic 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' scenario. If he chooses not to fight, he's accused of passivity and letting his nation crumble. If he opts for confrontation, he's criticized for aggression. It's an impossible bind. In such complex situations, decisions are rarely black and white. There are layers of nuance and geopolitical dynamics at play that a simplistic hit piece won't capture. Real leadership often involves making the least bad choice from a set of difficult options, not the ideal choice from a set of good ones.
I've got friends and old co-workers from Ethiopia and Eritrea both--and seeing this hurts, because I know that my friends are here in the States and can't do anything but watch. :(
Unbiased ! really, hahha. I think he stopped short of mentioning the sponsors of the video. It is blatantly biased that, why did he bother not to mentioning them (like most youtuber, like shaving creams, hair trimmers, dietary supplements), or I could say he is willingly ignorant of the real situation happening in the horn of Africa, which is a possibility (doubtful, still probability).
Eritreans will always be ready to defend thier country and the territories award to Eritrea as per the final and binding Algers agreement of 2000. Eritrea is small but mighty. Abiy's Ethiopia should be careful before thinking of invading Eritrea as it will be the complete collapse of the nation of Ethiopia as we know it.
KOMAL, BARITCHO FASCHISIMO ITALIANO, BANDA YE BANDA LIJE, THE SONS OF MINILIK WILL FREE YOU FROM YOUR NEW SLAVE MASTERS, ETERNAL ETHIOPIA WILL ALWAYS GET IT'S SAVIORS 💚💛❤️💪👍👏
@@user-qy6tu9ip9vExactly. That is the difference. I am an Eritrean and I believe we all are humans with one being not better or lesser than the others. But we want to keep our sovereign rights more than you want to take a port. We want our sovereignty so badly that every single one of us is willing to die. That's why we Eritreans believe that this war if it happens it would be a war Abiy would lose. But it would be at a huge cost for all of us.
This was so well done, from someone who has watched other videos trying to get a grasp on what is happening in this conflict and left confused, this really simplified/explained it well! ❤
sir, you have presented it so well its unbelievably accurate any one who has a stack in this (Ethiopian) like myself seeing this wouldn't be happy but that's the fact you did an amazing summing it up in 43 minutes video
Despite your bias, your high journalistic style made me fall in love with Abiy. He is a hero who faced the most difficult challenges ever faced by any leader in Ethiopia, yet he is still trying to make the country prosperous. Of course, he is facing haters and propagandists like you. Rest assured, he will achieve his vision of making the country among developed nations.
I bet Simon stuck his head in the freezer after doing this episode, just to cool his brain after delivering such an eloquent and extraordinarily detailed explanation of this countries troubles. 🤔
Its because its a civil war like in sudan, congo and many other countries and under the UN, foreign countries don't have the right to interfere in a civil war only in a war between two state like kn isreal and Palestine or Ukraine and russia.
The UN is for matters between seperate nations. What goes on inside a country not being the UN's business is something required for the UN to be able to exist and have people be part of. Same goes for its' powerlessness for that matter
15:57 I feel like this is a good explanation or rather one of many good explanations on why The conflicts in Ethiopia don’t get much coverage everyone seems to be just genuinely awful to each other yet at the same time victims. :/
Worry about your country. Don't interfere in the internal affairs of Ethiopia. The people of Ethiopia elected him overwhelmingly, and he has the backing of the majority of Ethiopians.
It is a great presentation except a few key points missed. Regional borders were demarcated by TPLF. This is an important fact that listeners should know. TPLF took that opportunity to grab lands of Welkait and Raya, which were originally Amhara territories, incorporating them into Tigray region. The present political system of Ethiopia was formed including the constitution by TPLF, and nothing has changed since the rulers have developed vested interests.
No true stop spreading propaganda, That land was taken from the Tigrayan people by hailesilasie and was given back to the rightful owners when eprdf took power. Historically Tigrayans have been ethnicity cleansed from these areas time and time again but I think this will be the last time it’s the 21st century the land isn’t going anywhere and will be under Tigrayan forces very soon from my understanding.
@@ethiocsc8289 not true Tplf is not gone I just googled it. They are no longer in power in Ethiopia but still have a strong hold over the Tigray region. Makes sense
Eritrea has always been an independent sovereign country for centuries. The Turkey Egypt Italy and the British have consequentially colonised Eritrea while Ethiopia was a free country that has not been colonised. Yet the UN decided on a federation agreement between Eritrea and Ethiopia. But after a few years that treaty was obliterated by the Ethiopian emperor at that time and annexed Eritrea as an Ethiopian state. Ethiopia then started to colonise Eritrea by force.
Eritrea is a artificial creation of Italian colonialism. Italy established colonial Eritrea in 1890 and this entity has never existed as a sovereign state before 1993. The highlands was part of Ethiopia's realm since Zagwe period.
As a ethiopian, I appreciate how you tried to show the current ethiopian geopolitical issue but this is something that you can't understand First, the ongoing civil war isn't his fault but rather because of where he came from as ethiopian people hate each other regarding of their birthplace and lineage. Secondly, he is working for the interst of his country. Overall the people who are saying 👏 to you claiming that they are ethiopian are just haters who don't only hates him but also his region( the region he came from). I really appreciate your work but you need to go deep down into the social and historical conflict between regions to understand more about the ongoing civil war.
How come you came to know all these intricate details about the politics in Ethiopia! I'm Ethiopian and an Oromo by ethnicity. I learned a great deal of history from your video.
Abiy's achievements and leadership have gained international recognition. His Nobel Peace Prize win in 2019 not only highlighted his efforts but also shone a spotlight on Africa's potential for positive change.
No he is a leader take over dismantle .country from TPLF ruling after 27 years left the country by corrupted ethnic division, also without zero resource He is trying to bring peace, work hard , change the core problem of the country corrupted education’s system .
Ironically, i got an ad from "This is Indian Country" during this. If only there was a country we could look to to see where endless grievance leads ...
Abiy Ahmed has been involved in diplomatic efforts beyond Ethiopia, mediating conflicts in the Horn of Africa region. He played a role in facilitating talks between Sudan and South Sudan, as well as attempting to mediate the Nile dam dispute between Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt
What's your point ? I keep reading your comment over and over hopping I might have missed something useful in your post, how is what you wrote conducive to the issues or the reality of the Ethiopian people that is being discussed ? How is a foreign diplomatic effort part of this conversation at all ?!!! Have you seen what's happening to the everyday people in the country?! Have you been following who is causing all this mess in the country between the people and the regions ?!!! How is your comment about foreign diplomatic effort going to save the children, old people, pregnant women, farmers, innocent students, those that are not even with any political agenda, being delited, eliminated, hacked, in-personed, ... ?!!! Please tell me ? Why would you write something like that ?! What are you trying to educate people that do not have any idea about the Ethiopian reality on the ground ? How can you not feel the pain and agony of these people ?
Yes! We’ve been crying our lungs out, doing peaceful demonstrations all over the world cities to no avail. World leaders were just providing lip services filled with “concerned”. Now we’ve almost 2,000,000 people dead -mostly civilians. I hope your voice will shed a light on this problem.
@@orwellianyoutube8978 Wtf? What do you know about the people? I can tell you know nothing about them. They brought democracy and freedom with amazing economic growth according to UN, IMF and World Bank. We know where we were and we know where we are now as a country. Just because the current leader is a hater and uses propaganda, does not mean it was true. More than 90% of the people prefer the former leadership. So, please stop spreading misinformation and false narratives. It’s already been more than painful thing to what has happened to these people.
He reminds me of Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma/Myanmar. She was also the darling of the West, getting a Nobel Peace Prize. When she got into power years later she did nothing about the attacks on the Rohingyas. This caused some people to call for withdrawing her Nobel.

@@markdowding5737From her Wikipedia page: "In 2012, she told reporters she did not know if the Rohingya could be regarded as Burmese citizens" It sounds like she did not care much about those people.
@@thehun1234 I am not saying she is completely out of fault. But her position within the Myanmar government was already as weak as it was and she might have felt that had she tried to do more to oppose the military this might have led them to topple her (as it happened anyway)
Those who oppose Ethiopia would view him as a threat, and therefore attempt to tarnish his character. However, he is a blessing to Ethiopia and has a strong passion for helping the underprivileged. It is impossible for someone like him, who works tirelessly day and night to make positive changes in the lives of the poor, to pose any form of danger.
Abiy Ahmed will be the first person to win two Nobel prizes. Prize in economics loading! Sometimes, war is forced upon. He had no choice! Long live Ethiopia ✌️🇪🇹🇪🇹✌️
Ahh and we continue to see ancient tribalism be the undermining of African nations. countries rich in natural resources, with relatively young populations capable of working throw their capability away in the name of tribal disputes instead of working as a cohesive entity. happens throughout african nations and is largely the reason for so many rebelions, coups, and militias which plague the continent. african nations have so much potential but they fail to live up to it.
It isn't about potential but about horrible lines drawn by Europeans on purpose to damage any prospects coming out of Africa. Enemies are stuck together because of internationally recognized borders. There can't be peace in Africa until the borders are redrawn in lots of places.
@@lt2672 Ethiopia existed before Europeans came and it was the only place that successfully resisted European conquest. How can you blame Europeans on a video about the only place not colonized by the Europeans??
@@oriontigley5089Eritrea wasn't part of Ethiopia but Europeans gave them Eritrea to cause destabilization. The Eastern Somali region wasn't part of Ethiopia but Britain gave them that to cause wars between Somalia and Ethiopia. The Western Gumuz region is Sudanese territory but Britian gave Ethiopia that to cause problems with Sudan. I can go on and on.
Thank you for creating this video and giving a voice to the Tigray, Amhara, and Oromo victims of the brutal and manipulative Ethiopian government under Abiy Ahmed and his regime. Genocide and famine have been used as mechanisms of war against these people. Women are raped, civilians are killed, and children are savagely murdered by the Ethiopian federal forces under Abiy Ahmed's command. This dehumanization of ethnic groups demands justice. The international community must act swiftly to hold him accountable for these atrocities. Justice is needed for peaceful opposition parties, journalists, and human rights activists who have been arrested or killed by this regime. The International Criminal Court should bring Abiy Ahmed to justice, setting an example for all African leaders.
The ICC is no place for us to solve our problems. The prosecutor of the ICC Karim Khan, told us what those international courthouses are for; and that’s for Africans& thugs like Putin. Africans need to ween themselves off of the poisoned-chalice institutions like The Hague. They don’t represent us& never have they. We must seek to band together as Africans in order for us to solve the problems of our continent. And if history is anything to go by, it’s clear that any& all foreign interference on the motherland has brought nothing but despair& destruction. The Natives of Africa must learn& if we don’t, then we’ll most certainly perish.
as an Ethiopian this video honestly largely excludes Abiy's side of the story, i try to be as neutral as possible in forming my opinion as my country's currently in a very tricky situation and so i try not to skew too harshly to one side but you honestly need to consider that the man given the task of making a country more democratic while arguably the lack of democracy itself was what was preventing a major conflict such as the recent northern conflict from breaking out earlier. in hind sight its easy to point out the results of his decisions as nothing but obvious but in truth he was in a position of power where everyone even the Oromo mistrusted him as they saw him as a traitor that sided with the TPLF and at the moment believe it or not his decisions were viewed as sensible steps towards peace by almost every media outlet within the country. while the west mostly agrees that a peaceful Yugoslavia is the best outcome all that would do is turn a would be civil war into a normal war. while groups like the OLA and the TPLF are influencal in this stage they're very much the loud minority, the majority of Ethiopians simply want peace and would be happy to forgive and forget the sins of their ancestors but paranoid militant groups that run a heavily one sided rhetoric contribute nothing towards peace.
If that is how everyone feels then, How is he got followers,people that take order, just to rob & kill A lot of biblical warnings are fulfilling. What you saying been going since the fall of mangestu, however now is wild cause it's time for the Dragon to come out. He dont wanna wait, they already built the 3rd temple they only thing they need is the crucifixion cross. They got AI they dont need a holymen to touch it no more...once they get it then the beast can use it to rise the dead, bla bla bla ...the war is on the resistance which is Amara tribe.

Red, gold and green are the color of he covenant. That promise is tie to ethiopia, put the lion of juda back on the flag..grt rid of that devil star
I have friends in Ethiopia, almost everyone who once supported Abiy has turned against him. I firmly believe if a free and fair election was held, him and the prosperity party would be wiped from power
Abiy is a con artist that made his way to power on lies & being two face. He might have been love by many but now his true color has came out. His killer side of him has surfaced and he is not the person he claimed he was. And I strongly believe his Nobel prize need to be revoked. Now Fano will take the power back to bring peace for our beloved country. Victory for Fano. Then and only then divisiveness will be end once for all. 💚💛❤️
rip meles zenawi he unified ethiopia with big economic 1$=20birr everything sheap poeple are living without ethnicity and peace during 30 years but from 2018 aby ahmed is the worst president killing innocent poeple and making ethiopian poor economic collapse 1$ =100 birr everything is expensivpoeple are dying with hungre nothing to eat and killing each other more than million ethiopian killed
Fano is just another Oneg and I was Onegawi. I no longer believe in tribal leadership because it doesn’t bring us anything except for people in power who will loot the rest of the population and turn us against each other. Until we love each other not just blindly kill each other based on tribal lines we will keep bleeding into the future. One love. Life is too short to push tribal violence.
Correction : Among a number of errors in your detailing of the war, the most prominent was how the war started. It began following the preemptive strike by the Tplf insurgents upon the North command forces that secured the border between Eritrea and Ethiopia🔔🔔🔔. You keep confusing Fano with the Amhara special forces. Fano militia became active as a result of subsequent direct attacks on farming societies of Amhara background following the massacres by OLA, Tplf and others alike. The Amhara Special forces however were the allies that fought in Tigray war who have themselves been disbanded at this time.
Abiy's efforts towards political reforms, including the release of political prisoners and the opening up of the political space, have shown a commitment to democratic values and principles that can inspire similar changes in other African nations.
Thank you for covering this calamity that's up on Ethiopians. The reality on the ground has been hidden from the world, Abiy Ahmed works hard to keep the outside world out of his affairs, but behind the sceen he is raining bullets with drones on innocent civilians because he can't see or find the freedom fighters. The freedom fighters ( FANO) have the ability to fight from key positions and they are also in an advantageous position, because they are familiar with the terrain.
Abiy's focus on expanding access to education, healthcare, and infrastructure has contributed to social development and improved living standards, highlighting the importance of investing in human capital across the continent.

There’s no ethnic hatred in Ethiopia. To see this you have to backtrack the history of Ethiopia. Ethiopians target always was the regime. Mostly recently the regime created ethnic federalism to divide peoples unity against the regime. The new ethnic federalism give false hope that if a lead comes from such tribe it will empower that tribe but in reality that tribes life no different than any others. Prosperity party plays the same old tactics to stay in power, it has zero police’s or plan to change ethnic federalism. All it did was change former party names 4 or 5 times.
You don't need a whole episode as an Ethiopian i can tell you. YES and as sad as it is you will be making an episode of the realization. Simon if you're reading this THANKS for the honest assessment, but it HURTS SO BAD, words can't explain how much.

Wow...., a wonderfully presented narration of the entire political process of Ethiopia that has eventually brought the country to the brink of collaps. Once again thank you so much for such concise & comprehensive style of narration.
I think we can learn a basic lesson here:
To right historic wrongs, violence will only perpetuate wrongs. Only peace and understanding can lead to truly healing these past wrong. Revenge will just perpetuate the cycle. Don't ask for land or money, ask to be treated the same.
You ever thought what would happen if you're the one offering peace and understanding, while the other side does not?
You'll get smoked buddy
Ethiopia can never have peace because it is a bunch of enemies locked into one country. Imagine locking France, Germany, and the UK into one country. That will not end up well for anyone.
Don't ask for land or money, ask to be treated the same. !
@@JoeyP946 Which is why it's important to come to an understanding.
Look it's never easy. It's always the classic cooperation Punnet Square. However, generally speaking, if you can negotiate up, do it. Like, if you are being mistreated but you convince the oppressor to go from a segregated society to just a racist society? Take that. Then start working on getting equal rights. Then, equal opportunity. It's annoying, it's slow, it sucks that you have to even do it... But it's the only long term way to solve the problem. Otherwise, you'll just perpetuate the cycle.

Dr Abiy Ahmed is the best prime ministers of Ethiopia in history good leadership and good listener
Dear journalist,
Abiy is widely regarded as one of the best leaders in Africa. It is important to acknowledge that many of the problems we see today have deep roots that extend back to previous administrations. Abiy has taken on the immense responsibility of addressing these long-standing issues and working towards their resolution. While it is unrealistic to expect him to solve all problems immediately, he is committed to shouldering the burden and making significant strides towards positive change.

Abiy has been an advocate for African unity and integration, emphasizing the importance of collective action to address common challenges. He has actively engaged in regional organizations, such as the African Union, to promote cooperation among African nations.
Absolutely, this criticism seems unjustified and overly simplistic. The situation he's in is a classic 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' scenario. If he chooses not to fight, he's accused of passivity and letting his nation crumble. If he opts for confrontation, he's criticized for aggression. It's an impossible bind. In such complex situations, decisions are rarely black and white. There are layers of nuance and geopolitical dynamics at play that a simplistic hit piece won't capture. Real leadership often involves making the least bad choice from a set of difficult options, not the ideal choice from a set of good ones.

Thank you Simon for your genuine and unbiased explanation. Just showing the reality without taking sides.
Unbiased ! really, hahha. I think he stopped short of mentioning the sponsors of the video. It is blatantly biased that, why did he bother not to mentioning them (like most youtuber, like shaving creams, hair trimmers, dietary supplements), or I could say he is willingly ignorant of the real situation happening in the horn of Africa, which is a possibility (doubtful, still probability).
Eritreans will always be ready to defend thier country and the territories award to Eritrea as per the final and binding Algers agreement of 2000. Eritrea is small but mighty. Abiy's Ethiopia should be careful before thinking of invading Eritrea as it will be the complete collapse of the nation of Ethiopia as we know it.
I'm sorry but if Ethiopians genuinely wanted to invade Eritrea they could but the people have no interest.

Its because its a civil war like in sudan, congo and many other countries and under the UN, foreign countries don't have the right to interfere in a civil war only in a war between two state like kn isreal and Palestine or Ukraine and russia.

Worry about your country. Don't interfere in the internal affairs of Ethiopia. The people of Ethiopia elected him overwhelmingly, and he has the backing of the majority of Ethiopians.
It is a great presentation except a few key points missed. Regional borders were demarcated by TPLF. This is an important fact that listeners should know. TPLF took that opportunity to grab lands of Welkait and Raya, which were originally Amhara territories, incorporating them into Tigray region. The present political system of Ethiopia was formed including the constitution by TPLF, and nothing has changed since the rulers have developed vested interests.
Exactly! I’m so happy welkait & raya is back to Amhara region
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
No true stop spreading propaganda, That land was taken from the Tigrayan people by hailesilasie and was given back to the rightful owners when eprdf took power. Historically Tigrayans have been ethnicity cleansed from these areas time and time again but I think this will be the last time it’s the 21st century the land isn’t going anywhere and will be under Tigrayan forces very soon from my understanding.
@@Lunababay TPLF is finished, gone, adios!
@@ethiocsc8289 not true Tplf is not gone I just googled it. They are no longer in power in Ethiopia but still have a strong hold over the Tigray region. Makes sense
Eritrea has always been an independent sovereign country for centuries. The Turkey Egypt Italy and the British have consequentially colonised Eritrea while Ethiopia was a free country that has not been colonised. Yet the UN decided on a federation agreement between Eritrea and Ethiopia. But after a few years that treaty was obliterated by the Ethiopian emperor at that time and annexed Eritrea as an Ethiopian state. Ethiopia then started to colonise Eritrea by force.
Eritrea was the colonized part of Ethiopia later on which became a country.
Eritrea is a artificial creation of Italian colonialism. Italy established colonial Eritrea in 1890 and this entity has never existed as a sovereign state before 1993. The highlands was part of Ethiopia's realm since Zagwe period.
abby Ahmed is one of the significant leader In Africa!
As a ethiopian, I appreciate how you tried to show the current ethiopian geopolitical issue but this is something that you can't understand
First, the ongoing civil war isn't his fault but rather because of where he came from as ethiopian people hate each other regarding of their birthplace and lineage.
Secondly, he is working for the interst of his country.
Overall the people who are saying 👏 to you claiming that they are ethiopian are just haters who don't only hates him but also his region( the region he came from). I really appreciate your work but you need to go deep down into the social and historical conflict between regions to understand more about the ongoing civil war.

Guys this is a bot. Don't reply specially if you're in Ethiopia
Thank you for creating this video and giving a voice to the Tigray, Amhara, and Oromo victims of the brutal and manipulative Ethiopian government under Abiy Ahmed and his regime. Genocide and famine have been used as mechanisms of war against these people. Women are raped, civilians are killed, and children are savagely murdered by the Ethiopian federal forces under Abiy Ahmed's command. This dehumanization of ethnic groups demands justice. The international community must act swiftly to hold him accountable for these atrocities. Justice is needed for peaceful opposition parties, journalists, and human rights activists who have been arrested or killed by this regime. The International Criminal Court should bring Abiy Ahmed to justice, setting an example for all African leaders.
The ICC is no place for us to solve our problems. The prosecutor of the ICC Karim Khan, told us what those international courthouses are for; and that’s for Africans& thugs like Putin.
Africans need to ween themselves off of the poisoned-chalice institutions like The Hague. They don’t represent us& never have they. We must seek to band together as Africans in order for us to solve the problems of our continent.
And if history is anything to go by, it’s clear that any& all foreign interference on the motherland has brought nothing but despair& destruction.
The Natives of Africa must learn& if we don’t, then we’ll most certainly perish.

Weilket is a tigrayan name, thank you for your video, it's well informed.
No doubt that Abiy Ahmed is the most dangerous WAR LORD in Africa!
as an Ethiopian this video honestly largely excludes Abiy's side of the story, i try to be as neutral as possible in forming my opinion as my country's currently in a very tricky situation and so i try not to skew too harshly to one side but you honestly need to consider that the man given the task of making a country more democratic while arguably the lack of democracy itself was what was preventing a major conflict such as the recent northern conflict from breaking out earlier. in hind sight its easy to point out the results of his decisions as nothing but obvious but in truth he was in a position of power where everyone even the Oromo mistrusted him as they saw him as a traitor that sided with the TPLF and at the moment believe it or not his decisions were viewed as sensible steps towards peace by almost every media outlet within the country. while the west mostly agrees that a peaceful Yugoslavia is the best outcome all that would do is turn a would be civil war into a normal war. while groups like the OLA and the TPLF are influencal in this stage they're very much the loud minority, the majority of Ethiopians simply want peace and would be happy to forgive and forget the sins of their ancestors but paranoid militant groups that run a heavily one sided rhetoric contribute nothing towards peace.

Correction : Among a number of errors in your detailing of the war, the most prominent was how the war started. It began following the preemptive strike by the Tplf insurgents upon the North command forces that secured the border between Eritrea and Ethiopia🔔🔔🔔. You keep confusing Fano with the Amhara special forces. Fano militia became active as a result of subsequent direct attacks on farming societies of Amhara background following the massacres by OLA, Tplf and others alike. The Amhara Special forces however were the allies that fought in Tigray war who have themselves been disbanded at this time.
Abiy's efforts towards political reforms, including the release of political prisoners and the opening up of the political space, have shown a commitment to democratic values and principles that can inspire similar changes in other African nations.

The reality on the ground has been hidden from the world, Abiy Ahmed works hard to keep the outside world out of his affairs, but behind the sceen he is raining bullets with drones on innocent civilians because he can't see or find the freedom fighters. The freedom fighters ( FANO) have the ability to fight from key positions and they are also in an advantageous position, because they are familiar with the terrain.
