Ethiopia can’t and shouldn’t lose the victory it just scored in the battlefield on the propaganda front now.

Ethiopia's victory in the battlefield needs to be guarded.

Winning the war front didn’t come without a big sacrifice, both in terms of human lives and material resources. It took the skillful planning and execution of the war, implementing a magnificent logistics and coordination of all the needed endeavors of conducting a war.

At the simplest level: it took the training and organizing of the fighting military force and equipping it with the needed hardware, which took in most cases years and perhaps also decades. Reinforcing that with the adequate logistics coupled with a skillful management of the conduct of the war, requiring the deployment of the professionals in all of the fields. This efficiently and effectively conducted war enabled the country to win the war in a relatively short period of time, even in the face of the well-entrenched and organized enemy side, with years of preparation of different sorts to ensure that the its side will win.

This professionally and heroically conducted war needs now to be guarded, in the first place, and replicated on the remaining front, because our country is facing a well-established and orchestrated massive media campaign to reverse the just gained battlefield victory and declare it void and null, effectively trying to ensure that we will fight each other for the foreseeable future along the line of internal faction and keep ourselves weak for perpetuity.

In the same manner we conducted the battlefield war recently we need now to establish a sound strategy, allocate the needed resources, craft a solid logistics provisioning and conduct a counter-offensive against the monster media campaign against our country and its future based on pile of lies.

The first step in this regard is to create a solid strategy, which matches the scale of the offensive against our country and its people. Ineffectively conducting the counter-offensive may cost us the second war, reversing the outcome of the victory in the battlefield. The strategy is the key here. Then the logistics to support the implementation of the strategy, reenforced with a sound and solid management. We have the advantage that the war will be ended in our side, because the terrain where the war is going to be conducted is in our favor. This terrain is called the truth. We have to demolish the pile of lies using the truth.

It is critically important to recognize that you can’t win just because the truth is on your side, there is a precedence where truth was defeated in the recent past because it was not adequately defended: the most vivid case in point in this regard is that of the infamous so called WMD alleged on Iraq to effectively ruin the country based on a falsehood allegation.

If you are not ready to draw a lesson from what unfolded back then and what preceded it in the form of massive media propaganda, in the same way it is done against Ethiopia today, including open intimidation of the international community (you may remember the infamous call “you are either with us, or against us”), and get prepared to encounter the massive offensive, then you will lose, there is no prophecy needed here to predict that.

To summarize the points here:

- Recognize the scale and level of the danger of the problem and get prepared to fight against it,
- Develop a solid strategy and design how to deploy it and fight effectively
- Underpin the strategy and deployment options with a sound logistics and allocation of resources, in time. Time is the essence (draw a lesson from the speed at which the issue of internal affairs of our country was made a major agenda point on the floor of the UNSC, recently).
- Allocation of resources comes from adequate mobilization of the needed resources.
- Coordinate and manage the whole endeavor skillfully and professionally.
- Always be cognizant of the enemy you are against, it is a monster and never loose of its sight.
- Truth is on your side, just get prepared to fight the just cause, in what you can contribute to safeguard our common country.
Truth will prevail!

If insurrection is unlawful in America, then what is the basis to condone the same insurrection else where in this world?

What is the cause behind the double standard here? When is UNSC going to discuss about the measures taken to subdue the insurrection in the United States of America itself in this past January and sanction those who led the effort to subdue it, including in the US-Congress and the Senate?

According to this logic, Joe Biden, current president of America, is also a culprit on the charges of the UNSC's culpability list.

World needs order, we may guess.

I think that the message in the following video might be missing the point I am trying to raise here in my post.

The campaign, which is not less than a war in its breadth and depth, needs to be coordinated and skillfully managed to be successful.

This decentralized acts of the individuals may hurt the struggle or prolong it and encourage the enemy side.

So what do we need, in my view at the simplest level?

- Craft an adequat strategy of the counter-offensive and assign the needed resources to the tasks that needed to be executed, structure and coordinate the resources efficiently and effectively, which should match the scale of the offensive.

- Mobilize the resources, material, human, professionals for the different fields of the campaign (compiling the available media resources and put together in a form that can easily be used, everywhere the offensive is being thrown against us.

- Media communications professionals, don't send unqualified personality to do the public relations and possible cause some damages, the enemy side is quick to pick on that and use it for its side agains us.

- For this you need qualified people, with the needed skill of the fields. Provide the skilled man power with the needed resources, like materials and financial support, so that they can devote a good part of their time in fulfilling their task here, unimpeded.

- Centrally coordinate and control the execution and assess how it was done, and make revisions and corrections on the steps that went out of synch with the overall objective in time, if something went wrong or unefficiently.

Only try to safeguard the truth, through that you cause will be safeguarded.

United we will prevail, divided we will fail!
