We stand in solidarity with all Ethiopian intellectuals in-country who want to speak out against the war but feel unable to do so due to fear of retaliation.

Huh!! Professors of Social Sciences, Philosophy..., such as History and African Studies, bla bla, in the Western Universities.

One can do better by experiencing, reading and searching for True History and Social Dynamics than these egoistical people who call themselves Professors from a comfort zone 1000s Miles away. The world would be much better without these egoistical stooges. It is because people like these that we have corrupted NGOs.

I Prefer intellectuals of True Sciences - Mathematics, Physical Sciences, Biological Sciences, Engineers - who base their analysis on FACTS and also those humble and honest intellectuals of Social and Political Sciences who base their findings on True Facts on the Ground that transform societies .

How many times did we see letters and signatures of this nature?

Terrorist TPLF Desperations reached its limit.
