We are in a momentous time of Ethiopian long history, a new chapter is being made in front of our own eyes. This will possibly surpasses the history chapter of Adwa. The future of Ethiopia is at stake here, the same way it was at Menelik time, we are fighting with internal ragtag group but our war is with more powerful adversaries, hell-bent on subduing Ethiopia and keep it a subservient state on the HoA. We are a lucky generation, who have got an opportunity to stop this and make our own chapter of the long history, the same way Adwa was made.

Take note here that your children and grandchildren will going to ask you why they are missing your pictures and videos from all the scenes of the momentous history. We are no more in the era of hearsay and oral story telling of the Menelik era, we are in an advanced information era, where anything and everything is being documented and kept and delivered to the next generation using much more advanced technologies, which will be historical documents in the future.

You have the option at your disposal now to be part of history and spare your children from any sort of confusion or humiliation, as someone who didn’t take a decisive step when it mattered for your father and mother land.

Ethiopian farmers are either on the war front themselves or supporting the family members of those who are at the front. Women are preparing rations for those at the front, which are all being documented for the next generation. It will teach the next generation how a nation is protected and sustained to be delivered to the following generation. A country is not for free, there is a high price to be paid for.


This is also leaving one's inscript into the current chapter of the history book of Ethiopia.

The children of Adwa will not bow to AGOA, America take note here.

Supported by America and other foreign forces, including elements within United Nations (UN) agencies, The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) are attempting to overthrow the democratically elected Government of Ethiopia and regain power. This would be disastrous for the country and the region.

The impact of the year-long conflict is devastating. Perhaps as many as three million people are internally displaced, tens of thousands have been killed; women and girls raped, property trashed, land destroyed, livestock slaughtered by TPLF fighters. At this stage it is difficult to see how a peaceful resolution can be reached; the government has said it will not enter into negotiations until the TPLF withdraws to Tigray, and the TPLF, in no position to set any conditions, are demanding Prime-Minister Abiy Ahmed steps down.

The conflict was initiated when the TPLF attacked the Ethiopian State on 4 November 2020 (perhaps with US approval): despite this, the US and her puppets (UK, EU etc) have, to the incredulity of many, stood behind theterrorists and not the government of Ethiopia, or the Ethiopian people. It is widely acknowledged that the Biden Administration is behind the movement to replace the Abiy government, and install the TPLF – a less independent (the US doesn’t tolerate independent governments), more malleable group that, in exchange for the freedom to do as they like, will once again provide the US with a foothold in the Horn of Africa.

Unsurprisingly, Jeffrey Feltman – US Horn of Africa special envoy, denies all this, saying, “we have consistently condemned the TPLF’s expansion of the war outside Tigray, and we continue to call on the TPLF to withdraw from Afar and Amhara.”

True, however it’s actions not words that count (particularly politicians words), and in light of the US response since the start of the conflict, and the State Department’s behind-the-scenes shenanigans, his repudiation appears duplicitous at best, and is ignored by furious Ethiopians, many of whom attended protests recently. Huge crowds gathered under #NoMore in Addis Ababa, Washington, San Francisco, London, Pretoria and elsewhere, demanding an end to American interference in Ethiopia’s affairs. There is growing anger among groups in other African nations, who see American meddling in Ethiopia as an attack on Africa itself, a colonial assault.

US backing
American administrations, have consistently backed the TPLF, who established close connections with the US government during their 27 years in power (1991-2018), contacts that they are making full use of now.

At the same time Secretary Blinken is busy calling for "ceasefire", which has by now became synonymous with TPLF is losing on the war front at the moment.

Blinken calls for ceasefire in Ethiopia as Abiy Ahmed pledges to 'destroy' rebels

On Saturday, the US State Department said Secretary of State Antony Blinken was concerned about escalating violence in Ethiopia and called for negotiations to address the crisis there.
