im sure you guys follow people who recently started to mindlessly drool over the tweets from bad actors like simon tesfamariam also.
the whole imperialist angle is dogshit too. 18 months ago ethiopia was a western darling since they privatized the economy and detatched from the massively pro-china tplf. there is no imperialist onslaught here. also, eritrea under afwerki have invaded all their neighbours and hosted military bases for UAE in their genocidal war on the zaidis. yeah, they're fucking buried in the sanction scheme. guess what? when you keep your soldiers as slaves and refuse to even pretend to hold elections for 20 years, you will get sanctioned without any ulterior motives. also somewhat bizarre to hear Puryear try to mention development metrics that are better than some warzone countries in central africa when eritrea on the other hand have the lowest information infrastructure in the world (probably intentionally so).
bonus post: fuck these inhuman ghouls.
dont let yourself believe that this is anything akin to latin america or syria. this is purely a contrarian bullshit narrative that sprung to life the second ethiopia received pushback for their genocidal war on tigray. there must be fucking money involved. these people are not that stupid
also its known that ethiopia have a well-developed trollfarm system. and both them and eritrea have have an unusual strong influence over the diaspora. so be a bit critical when navigating this topic
