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).
Not sure I'd trust a random Hexbear user more than people who at least don't seem to be mouthpieces for the US government. North Korea has good relations with Eritrea, and Eritrea seems to be siding with the Ethiopian government. Doesn't really matter if the Ethiopian government has been cozy with the US in the past. It seems like another pseudo-proxy-war in Africa where the more violence there is the worse off everyone but western governments are. Eritrea obviously isn't a western puppet government, so I wouldn't support anything that weakens them
although they're not a central entity in this from what I gather. But there is obviously a propaganda war going on right now. Anyways, I'd rather side with literally anyone other than the US government and I don't support US sanctions under any circumstances. If anything, western governments just want to extract concessions from governments and make them beg. And it was the TPLF that broke the last ceasefire (although under certain circumstances there could be reasons someone would do that).Pretty big red flag in your post considering the US never sanctions anyone without ulterior motives.
But yeah, it's obviously more complicated than Ethiopia and Eritrea being the objective good guys. But I don't know. The propaganda war is intense enough that it seems impossible to figure out who's backing who, not even sure if governments themselves know.
I'll probably just support whatever China is doing lol. They want to have Ethiopia firmly in their camp I guess. But like I said, it's another thing where every big country is trying to figure out how to come out on top.
trusting these people based on this is just ridiculously dangerous and the crux of all my cybercrusades. please reconsider this logic
north korea is good with most global south countries, not an argument. north korea isnt authoritative on this shit either. at all. eritrea was viciously opposed to ethiopia gov last 20 years, even tough meles zenawi was afwerkis cousin. does this mean anything?
tigray is subject to a genocidal war. its that simple. but yes tplf militias play dirty and its not proportionally represented in western media. OP isnt a remedy for that though.
this has nothing to do with imperialism. abiy ahmed was a western favourity. thats why this thing is so perverse. everybody jumped ship the second he decided to start a war. that the west benefit here is is just a bullshit rhetoric. if anything, egypt benefits. egypt always but especially led by a junta is a problem for israel and global shipping. holding leverage over egypt is actually an insanely understated centerpiece in global capitalism.
do i have to quote dril on isis support here, or what? * saying the US is involved in a way just leads you completely astray. this is just the UN-human-rights world-system operating. you're completely wrong to say the US never sanction without ulterior motive. it can and is often abused but you're really out of your depth if you think that there's always something under it. this is the type of ultraconspiratorial complete-detached-from-reality type of thinking that got us stuck in this shit. you're left supporting a slave state personal dictatorship and a genocidal war because the tiny, insignificant pushback to that by definition must be a bigger evil. cmon, something got wrong on the way here!
