Is Z sun setting on Addis's status as being the diplomatic capital of Africa? OPDO is attacking diplomats physically

Why is Abiy attacking Africa Development Bank Staffers to just steal 5 million dollars? :mrgreen: :lol: These OPDO fools are increasingly proving themselves to be the real cannibals they are. Is there anyone spared in the last five years and counting?

"The AfDB’s senior leadership in Addis Ababa, led by Ethiopia country manager Abdul Kamara, were initially detained but then later violently assaulted leaving Kamara with visible facial injuries in a photo seen by Semafor Africa

"The incident is a major embarrassment to Ethiopia’s reputation as Africa’s diplomatic capital and headquarters of the African Union. In the last three years, the nation has been forced to grapple with the reality of conflicts and violence hurting its reputation as a hub for foreign direct investments.

Key parts of the country remain in conflict amid loss of investments and destruction of critical infrastructure. The bulk of industrial parks are currently deserted as a result of Ethiopia’s removal from preferential trade agreements, including the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).

This is a really bad time for any Ethiopian officials to be seen as antagonizing one of the Horn of Africa nation’s most impactful economic partners. The economy is in the doldrums, several international organizations have left, and more are likely to leave. There’s a lot riding on Abiy carefully negotiating and reaching some sort of agreement with Adesina rather than allowing the situation to escalate.

What was bizzare is that it was members of Abiy's own guards who assaulted the ADB official. How is that possible without Abiy's authorization? And there is still the unanswered issue of the 5 million dollars which has disappeared! Who got it? Is it Abiy's insurance?
