I know, I know — you’re someone with an IQ smaller than your shoe size. But still, I’m going to tease your little brain with a few simple questions.

The Eritrean dictator went to Moscow and gave the Russian leader a dramatic sermon about how the West is in decline — claiming that all the West does is print money and produce nothing. We’ve also seen him attend the Africa–China Summit, the Africa–Japan Summit, and the Africa–Russia Summit.

But what exactly have all these tours accomplished?
Is there any tangible outcome from these trips, or are they just symbolic journeys — a dictator's overseas tour to appear relevant?

Now take Niger as a comparison. After Nigeria cut off electricity to punish Niger’s military junta, Niger not only managed to offset the energy shortage but actually increased national electricity production from 17% to 22%.

So how is it that Niger — under sanctions — was able to pull that off, while your so-called “visionary” leader is still whining and justifying his failure to deliver even modest energy production?

Not as funny as it could be . I bet Isayas gets home delivery with specialized drones directly from Saudi Arabia. He does not let any package on any drones in from Emirates even if the local Walmart is sending it.

Every year, in september, heads of state and government from all 193 UN member states typically attend the annual UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. What exactly do they accomplish?

For your own information, although presidential trips abroad can foster international relations, reinforce existing alliances, and address global issues, they don't always yield tangible results or even justify the cost and security measures involved. In a number of cases, heads of state embark upon trips abroad to distract their people from domestic issues, or just provide themselves with a temporary distraction from domestic pressure, which is not the case of PIA.

I won't bother, by the way, discussing Niger's case. Otherwise, you would come up with all the 193 UN member states one at a time, and I ain't got time for such a bullsh'it.
