⛴️ ⚓ 3 SHIPS CARRYING $3.4 BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF WEAPONS ⚓ ⛴️

Post by Fiyameta » 24 Feb 2025, 07:00

In July 2024, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved a $3.4 billion loan package for Ethiopia, designed to support the country's economic reform program, which includes measures like floating its currency and addressing debt restructuring issues.

Sounds good! :P

In the same month, Ethiopia sent a high level delegation team to Azerbajian headed by the speaker of the Ethiopian House of Federation, Agegnehu Teshager, to purchase weapons worth $3.4 billion dollars, which includes drones, tanks, heavy artillery, armored vehicles, heavy & light weaponry and ammunition.

Hmmm... :|

5 months later in November 2024, three Azerbaijan ships were seized by the Eritrean Navy as they entered Eritrean territorial waters without authorization. The ships were carrying weapons destined to Ethiopia.

God is Good. All The Time! :mrgreen:


If you were the Eritrean Government what would you do?
  • A. Send a Thank-You-Card to the Abiy regime for the generous gift.
    B. Grant political asylum to the 18 Azerbaijani crew members.
    C. Be on a lookout for more ships

Abiy Ahmed claims that the 3 ships were in the "Gulf of Horus" when they were seized. :mrgreen:

Fiyameta,

I am wondering if the Azerbejanis entered Eritrean waters delibrately because they did not want the kid from Beshasha to have such dangerous weapons in his childish hands. It is too difficult to believe that 3 ships would get of course and into the hands of the Eritrean navy! In any case, we should express our gratitude to Wedi Beshasha for his generocity!

Most ships traveling through the narrow Bab-el-Mandeb strait are sailing on Eritrean waters to avoid being targeted by the Houthi rebels in Yemen. Our Eritrean Navy is equipped with the knowledge and technology to properly identify ships that enter our territorial waters.

If the ships that enter Eritrean territorial waters are suspected of trafficking weapons to belligerent states that massacre their own people, Eritrea has a duty and obligation under international law to act and protect civilians from possible genocidal massacres.

It is very painful to watch what's happening to the Amhara people. Every time Abiy gets defeated by FANO, he's bombing innocent Amhara civilians to exact his revenge. He must be stopped! :evil:

Thank you, brother, Fiyameta for all the hard work you do and for exposing the supporters of the stinking wedi Beshasha, and the ever illusionary ተረት፡ ተረት by "ሓበሽ ሓነሽ" of dreaming to acquire part of Red Sea that has never been Ethiopian except the short Ethiopian occupation of Eritrea. Eritrea may not be as large as the hodgepodge Ethiopian Empire state, but, make no mistake about it, its magnanimous people will protect it from any human hyenas like some Ethiopians have been acting and behaving.

A lot of people are puzzled by the poor Azie captains “ error” to cross the the well defended Eritrean waters knowing that the Eritrea navy would pick up a small boat if it crosses its waters even if it is one inch.

According to Kindle News, the foreign Eritrean spy agents were on it since these huge ships were being loaded with expensive weapons for Ethiopia. They knew what route they were taking, including the stop over they had in Tel Aviv to add more loads for Abiy that was said to be a millions dollar worth hardware donated by Israel. People are suspicious that the Captains probably had been recruited by the Eritrean spies and offered a sizable compensation for their cooperation. No captain, let alone 3, even one captain would make such a huge mistake on clear weather day.

True story.

A friend of mine had a boyfriend who always got in trouble with the law.

One day the a$$hole ended up in jail on fraud charges and he asked her to bail him out.

My friend went to a Bail Bonds company and put up her Audi A5 luxury car as a collateral to secure the $50,000 bond amount required to get the a$$hole out of jail.

A few days before his court date, however, the a$$hole jumped bail and disappeared without a trace.

The Bail Bonds company came after my friend and repossessed her car valued at around $65,000.

Since she was financing the car through her own bank, she was obligated to make the $1,200 a month payment to the bank, even when she no longer had the car. I felt so sorry for my friend. :cry:

Ethiopia is in the same boat. The $3.4 billion dollars it took out in I.M.F. loan to purchase the weapons has to be paid in full, even if the country never received the weapons. :P :P

$3.4 billion dollars can provide delicious, nutritious 3 hot meals a day for the 120 million Ethiopians for 34 years. IQ Matters. 8)

Eritreans jacking of each other in a fantasy world is not a novel phenomenon. I recall witnessing Shabia goons dancing during the 1995-1996 period, which was they claimed Eritrea is comparable to Singapore’s transformation. I mean come on … come on
