Abiy is a Mole implanted to dismantle Ethiopia – fitting the pattern of destroying nations

Ethiopia is in turmoil. Abiy is in the center of it. He is being used by other powerful forces that hide their actions through third-party satellite countries, such as the UAE, to destabilize nations and harm their people. Just look at Libya, Yemen, and Sudan, and in the same way, Ethiopia is targeted right now. Abiy is their means to achieve it. Abiy’s weakness is his passion to be a king, despite his limited critical and analytical abilities. His handlers understand him well. He is a very cheap puppet who can be distracted by gadgets and flashy things. That is why they installed him as a country’s leader. They support him financially through institutions and client states such as the IMF, the World Bank, the UAE, and others. We can now clearly see the pattern: those working to keep their interests intact in this world are engaged in weakening and destroying Oriental nations like Ethiopia. They use puppets like Abiy Ahmed Ali to do so.
Modes of subduing, weakening, or destroying nations
There are many ways to weaken or destroy nations. Proxy warfare occurs when a powerful country weakens or destabilizes another country by acting through a third country or non-state actor instead of intervening directly. For example, a major power may support another country, militia, or government to advance its interests without direct confrontation. Indirect intervention refers to influencing or interfering in another country’s affairs through intermediaries such as states, institutions, or groups. Hybrid warfare is a strategy that combines political pressure, economic influence, cyber operations, propaganda, and proxy actors to weaken a state without engaging in conventional war. Geopolitical manipulation is a broader term describing the strategic use of alliances, financial leverage, or regional actors to shape outcomes in another country. Divide and rule (divide and conquer) is a strategy in which external powers exploit internal divisions to weaken a country. In the past, the British Empire used this principle to expand and maintain its rule. The United States has also been accused of applying similar strategies in various regions over the past hundred years. Neocolonialism is a term often used when powerful states are seen as controlling or influencing weaker nations indirectly through financial systems, institutions, or allied states.
Nowadays, what we see is described by some as a different form of global domination under a single order led by a few powerful individuals and corporates who seek to influence the world’s economy, politics, diplomacy, technology, security, and national sovereignty. Nations are undermined by these forces. National identities are taken as enemies, and hence the forces are working to undermine nations’ security and sovereignty. They are redrawing borders and forging new alliances. The recent Canadian leader’s speech at Davos gave a hint to the rest of the world about the deliberateness of such forces.
The Ethiopian case is not an isolated event; it fits into that broader global context. Those planning to weaken Ethiopia, and potentially Africa more broadly, have applied several approaches in the country today. Their primary agent, in this perspective, is the “
boy king” himself. There are also other moles who support him, such as
Getachew Reda,
Tsadkan, and others, who are agents of such missions. Let us see the central justification for it.
Singular Evidence: setting up many forces against each other
The pattern of destroying nations over the past decades can be seen in the destruction of several countries: Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, and Sudan. If we look at the example of Syria alone, how many forces were involved in its destruction? The destruction of Syria did not result from a single force, but from a complex convergence of internal conflict and international intervention. What began in 2011 as protests against the government of President
Bashar al-Assad gradually escalated into a brutal civil war, drawing in numerous domestic and foreign actors. Opposition groups fragmented into multiple factions, while extremist organizations such as Islamic State seized territory and intensified the violence. Kurdish-led forces, particularly the Syrian Democratic Forces, emerged as another major actor, especially in the fight against ISIS. As the conflict deepened, regional and global powers became directly involved: Russia and Iran backed the Syrian government, while Turkey intervened in the north, and the United States led military operations against ISIS and supported Kurdish forces. What followed was not merely a civil war, but a multi-layered proxy battleground shaped by regional rivalries, global power competition, and internal fragmentation, ultimately leading to massive destruction and humanitarian catastrophe.
The Syria model is often presented as a clear example. It suggests that it is possible to dismantle a nation by turning its own countrymen against one another and creating multiple armed groups that fight each other. One country supports one group, while another country backs a rival group. One supplies military hardware to one side; another equips the opposing side. Each external force claims that it is acting in its own interest. However, critics argue that the broader effect is the dismantling and destruction of the targeted nation. Careful observers see this as a recurring pattern. Sudan has endured such torment in recent years and remains trapped in instability. Yemen has been weakened and fragmented by prolonged conflict shaped by competing external interests. These are not isolated tragedies; they form a recognizable pattern.
There are many factions in Ethiopia right now. Abiy has become an expert at setting up factions everywhere. His bosses advise him and provide financial support to do so. He managed to create the so-called “
Government Shene” against the OLA, in Oromia. He also managed to create a false “
Fano” group, which has now been largely dismantled, but he continues to divide the Amhara people against each other using Adma Betagn and militias (Gilgel Fano). He has effectively set up forces in Afar called the TPF (Tigray Peace Forces) to act against the TPLF/TDF, in Tigray. He also supports Tekeze Zeb in Welkait, which is intended to oppose the TPLF/TDF. He has set up military groups within the government from the very start of his governance, he created a force called Kore Negnegna to dismantle every Oromo opposition power, including
Jawar Mohammed and others who believed they had brought change to the country and deserved a role in government.
All in all, Abiy is implementing a doctrine of setting forces against each other. It is like using one armed group to dismantle another armed group. Abiy has applied this method consistently over the past eight years, guided by advisors with broad experience in such strategies. The country is on the verge of collapse unless its citizens recognize what they see as the root causes of the problem and reverse the course, much as they did during the time of Adwa. Of course,
Menelik is no longer in Shewa, so they would need new leadership to achieve such a turnaround. Abiy is a central national security concern. His leadership has not benefited Oromos, Amharas, Tigrayans, Somalis, Afars, Gambellans, or other communities. He should be contained and removed, as soon as possible. A sensible and capable leader must take power without delay.
1. Why is Abiy Ahmed the number one national security problem for Ethiopia?
If Abiy’s priority were the integrity and well-being of the country, he could have made different choices over the past eight years. When we sum up all his decisions, it becomes clear that the nation’s sovereignty and integrity have not been his primary goals as a leader; rather, his own ambition and self-interest have guided him. He was given the opportunity to lead a country of 130 million people, and he used it in a completely wrong way. It is like a young man who inherits a fortune from his wealthy parents, goes out, and wastes every single penny on the wrong things, ultimately bankrupting himself. Abiy did the same.
He had the nation’s bank, army, security apparatus, intelligence services, and the support of the majority during his first years; no leader has ever enjoyed such massive backing. He received numerous prizes, recognition, and the support of the diaspora, all galvanized to help him. Yet he treated all of it as guaranteed. He abused it all. Why did we consider him as the number one national security problem?
He destroys the social cord in the country. For any country to survive its adversaries and enemies, it needs its internal coherence intact. Abiy did all he could to divide and set people against each other. He used every single opportunity to do so: Tulema Oromo against Welega Oromo, Kero against PP Oromo, Somalis against Oromo, Amhara against Tigray, Tigray against Tigray, Amhara against Amhara. His recent parliament talk is evidence that he literally engages people to go against each other.
2. He destroys the people with war.
Over the past eight years, Oromia has never seen chaos, death, and confusion like this in its history. Tigray has experienced disaster, tragedy, and genocide. Amhara is burning from drone attacks every day. He is persistent in buying suicide drones from all over the world: China, UAE, Turkey, and Iran.
3. He invests heavily in paramilitary groups to kill each other.
There are many military groups in Somalia, Afar, Gambela, Benishangul, Oromia, Amhara, and Tigray, as described above. He invests in such groupings.
4. He does not understand what the government is.
He has no clue what the role of a government is. He thinks that making lodges and corridors is the fundamental work of a prime minister. He does not differentiate between the work of a mayor and a prime minister. That is why he went out to war with Amhara people who are one of the backbones of the country itself. Now the people are against him, he is isolated and paralyzed. He cannot govern, but still, he did not understand the wisdom of governing Ethiopia. He tries to speak as if the powerful force of Fano is insignificant. Yet he has come to realize, very late, that he made a fundamental mistake in doing so.
5. He gave the national sovereignty of the country to others.
As Professor
Hizikeal Gabisa put it, Ethiopia now has no national sovereignty on economy, diplomacy, military, or security. It has been taken over by others. The IMF controls the country. They decide taxes every time, and Abiy’s job is to impose them on the people. The military and security apparatus is owned by the UAE. It controls what the nation should and ought to do, including setting up military training for the RSF & to go to war in Eritrea to take not only Assab but the entire Red Sea coastline, all for the UAE. Ethiopian diplomacy has shattered completely, and the country is surrounded 360 degrees by its historical enemies, like Egypt. Egypt is everywhere surrounding Ethiopia by controlling diplomacy with Somalia, Djibouti, Eritrea and Sudan.
6. He thinks that the opportunities he got to govern the country belong to himself.
He uses technology for his own benefit. When he was working at INSA, he used technology gadgets for his assignments at the fake school during his bachelor’s studies. He tried to persuade teachers to give him good grades by presenting the INSA technology, as if he had something to do with it. In the same way, now as prime minister, he uses drones and other technologies to destroy the nation solely for his own interests, not for the people’s. He burns cities like Debre Tabor as a showcase to the people if the Fano forces win over him, he will burn all the Amhara cities with thousands of suicides drones he has accumulated. He deliberately left Debre tabor by withdrawing the army from the city to create a showcase.
7. He undermines the people in the country.
Since he associates with some of the most powerful people in the world, like
MBZ, he feels that he is special. Since powerful people have bought him with money, and since he has sold his soul to the highest bidders, he believes he has access to the most powerful things in the world. He even received a Nobel Peace Prize, which gave him the boost to see himself as great. During the Tigray war, many helped him defeat his enemies, yet he took the credit as if he did it alone. Now he is full of pride and continues to undermine the people in the country. He undermines everyone around him. All around him are urinating in their pants since he can humiliate them at any time using the hidden security apparatus of several types he has established. He created lodges for wealthy individuals while humiliating teenagers, and he is highly engaged in blackmailing people. He sold Addis Ababa in ways that benefit certain people at the expense of the poor, without proper compensation. His speeches, which aim to divide people, incite hatred, and encourage them to kill each other, are a clear sign that he undermines the psyche of the people and looks down on the people. As they say, “
Pride precedes a fall”, he will fall. But Ethiopians should know better at this critical time.
Way forward: It is time Ethiopia appoints new leader.
Ethiopians should now think critically: this puppet leader must be replaced as soon as possible. If
Aba Dula wants to save Ethiopia, or even the Oromo people, he has to think differently. Abiy has gone to extremes. He is not repenting. He is not changing. Ethiopia and Ethiopians should not go down with him. Another sensible leader is needed. It is time for this mole to be removed from the nation’s highest office. A leader who will unite the country is needed, a leader who thinks less of himself and more of the people, one who puts the country’s interests above his own and above the interests of other factions. Many previous leaders reached this point during their reigns:
Meles did it,
Mengistu did it,
Haile Selassie did it. But this small man lacks the capability to do so; instead, he destroys this great nation.
He is its number one enemy and he should go away.
