Not to mention some secessionists.

Garaad Jaamac and Suldaan Saciid are two men who can give indication where Pland and SSC politics is heading. People are naturally suspicious of thr people meeting in Xamar. After all, they can make their case to people by simply coming to Maakhir.

#Ethiopia: #TPLF begins 14th Congress amidst escalating controversy, leadership absenteeism addisstandard.com/?p=45245 The Congress, which is the highest body of the party, began under a cloud of escalating controversy and notable absences. Fourteen members of the Central Committee, including the President of the Interim Administration of Tigray Region and TPLF Vice Chairman, Getachew Reda, were not present. Adding to the tensions is a statement by Legesse Tulu, Government Communication Minister, issued in response to the meetings. Legesse warned that TPLF’s move to hold the congress “threatens the fragile peace that the people of Tigray have managed to achieve.” The Congress, which is being held at the Martyrs Monument Assembly hall in the capital Mekelle, and is being attended by thousands of party members, was initially scheduled to start in the morning but was delayed until the afternoon for reasons that remain unclear. Getachew Reda, who had previously announced his decision to boycott the Congress, criticized the proceedings in a written statement he released today. Getachew once again condemned the event as being hastily organized without reaching a consensus, claiming it was designed to “oust certain leaders” perceived as opposition by the party’s internal network. The National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) announced yesterday that it will not recognize the TPLF’s General Assembly or any decisions made during the Congress. https://x.com/addisstandard/status/1823368012998615119?t=SuMJqKtwcDGN4EIun9V7pQ&s=19

Xaaji is just happy being used as a blackmail.

The Turkish led negotiations between Somalia and Ethiopia in Ankara ended without any results. The Somali delegation is traveling to Egypt tonight. https://x.com/dhoorebbc/status/1823320826449449224?t=scclkvBiBF_W8_hlLqKmEA&s=19

We can only thank God. War is becoming inevitable not cuz anyone wants it, but cuz Abiy won't back down. The man only understands brute force.

TPLF disobeys Abiy #TPLF, a 50-year-old party entrenched in power, has recklessly called its 14th conference for tomorrow without even bothering to notify the country's election board. The people of #Tigray deserve better than this blatant disregard for transparency. It's time to remove this party from power once and for all https://x.com/getachew_temare/status/1823096338990637254

They might be sophisticated but they are led by a tyrant with messianic tendencies. Reason won't work with him.

The Ethiopia and Somalia talks in Turkey have taken a break for the night as of 12:20am. The delegations will convene in the morning to continue to deliberations, source says Ragip Soylu

It is 11pm in Ankara and the indirect talks between Ethiopia and Somalia still continue. https://x.com/ragipsoylu/status/1823094015769678107?t=iBCGToV8EBByH-KopYCZFQ&s=19

Xaaji, wixii Muuse laga diidey HSM lagama ogolaanaayo. The fact that Abiy is willingly to abandon Sland deal if he gets what he wants should be a sign to Somaliland. The man can't be trusted.

The indirect talks are stalled: #Somalia wants the MoU to be cancelled before anything else, while #Ethiopia is using the MoU as a weapon, demanding concessions in exchange for its cancellation-sources. https://x.com/dhoorebbc/status/1823054929201631541?t=a5YaVQYUCijcoBpZyyKy1A&s=19

UPDATE: The mediation talks between Ethiopia and Somalia in Turkey are still underway, Turkish diplomatic sources say: • The parties negotiate indirectly, and Turkish FM Fidan separately meet them to convey messages • Turkey is trying to reconcile the parties with a common understanding. The negotiations take time https://x.com/ragipsoylu/status/1823039405000454357?t=2ajgrPL8hDKSu6nUsZzYUw&s=19

True. The gap is vast. No sane nation would agree to grant a sovereignty over port, coastline and land corridor to another country, even a friendly country. Ethiopia wants complete sovereignty regardless of HSM or Muse Bihi says.

I know which makes you wonder if he will do it again if Saudis and Emirates demand it again. I would say yes.

No. They were stopped at the outskirts of the last three remaining cities and 20-10 km from the border. The remaining cities are on Addis Ababa Djibouti highway. Though they were reports of Afars leaving the remaining areas, it is now being reported that they are regrouping and getting ready for new attacks.

I honesty don't know. It seems to me they want to have their cake and ate too. They have interests in both countries and would like to keep those interests.
