Isu, honey, I said no.

I’m glad the “they didn’t implement neoliberal reforms wholeheartedly” thing is being discarded by younger scholars cause…

😅

On the topic of hegemony, this is non essential reading on a book that is essential perhaps only as kindling.

This is a guy, who, with his full chest, referred to a war partly catalyzed by the dissolution of a “revolutionary democratic front” and its reconstitution as the “prosperity party” as “anti-imperialist”. Let’s talk about hegemony.

Alex Dewaal sells proximity to African power packaged in public school syntax as scholarship. He’s done well for himself being dull.

The Battle for Tigray - Ethiopia Insight Why TPLF’s reckless gamble may actually pay off

What is being described as a TPLF “win” is the installment of a guy it doesn’t like, has no institutional links with, and is in charge of the guns they used to oust the previous guy. So, yeah. Triumphalism is in order.

Getachew Reda: Ethiopia's Abiy Ahmed to replace Tigray president amid fears of war Ethiopia's prime minister asks Tigrayans to email him with suggestions for a new leader.

“In a novel approach, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed asked Tigrayans to suggest who the region's new leader should be via email...Tigray now has a chance to select its own leaders”

Abiy Ahmed Is Not a Populist The Ethiopian prime minister’s opponents fear that he’s an African Erdogan. His rhetoric and policies suggest he’s more of a liberal democrat.

Who am I missing ?

yea, get your manager.

The 25% increase in economic activity thing is hilarious, it’s the RIDE drivers talking about inflation will reduce when he have access to the sea…gulf of Ethiopia

“The Ethiopian federal government feels threatened by the presence of Tigrayan forces in Western Tigray, a disputed border area with Sudan” You mean occupied Western Tigray, famously cleansed of Tigrayans under the federal government’s orders ?

Also, Getachew has accused “a small group” within TPLF D of working with Eritrea. TPLF D has yet to publicly ask a party accused of genocide to wage war against the people of Tigray on its behalf

“put a halt to illegal gold mining” have they put a halt to it in Shakiso ? What moral higher ground are we imagining for the federal government? They’re already directly involved in illegal mining in Tigray, like they were the biggest players in theft of aid

I’d like to speak to your manager.

Who are the “putschists”? Is that the new “junta”? The people who have categorically denied working with Eritrea to overthrow Abiy ? What in the world of idiotic hot takes is this ?

What does complacency mean again ?

It’s important to note, despite Tsadkans uncorroborated allegations, both factions of the TPLF and TDF have repeatedly publicly claimed a position of neutrality. Operating as a PP mouthpiece is no way to keep us out of its wars. This article is a disservice to the cause of peace.

“Still, those in the fragmented TPLF and military who want to protect their past and current misdeeds would prefer to protect themselves by joining Isaias in alliance. In doing so, they believe they will use him and his regime to topple Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and then turn on Isaias.”

“a reformed Tigray co-exists within Ethiopia with a reformed Eritrea on its frontiers. This, surely, is the strategic option that all in Tigray, Ethiopia, Eritrea, the wider region and the international community would welcome.“
Tsadkan thinks everyone but Abiy Ahmed needs to “reform”

To avoid another conflict in the Horn of Africa, now is the time to act Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki is working to reignite conflict in northern Ethiopia. He must be stopped.

Shouldn’t there be something about an acquisition of a port/s and postponed elections weaved into this story somewhere ?
