Author’s Special Note:
I refer to my previous commentaries (Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV and Part IV) on my extremely pessimistic prognostications on U.S. policy in Ethiopia under the Biden Administration.
The fifth pillar of what I believe will be the Biden Administration’s policy in Ethiopia will be presented in two parts.
In the first part below, I shall discuss the elaborate game of thrones the U.S. and E.U., the self-appointed kingmakers of Ethiopia, are orchestrating in Ethiopia today.
In the second part, I shall discuss my views on how these kingmakers will choreograph the delegitimization of the 2021 Ethiopian parliamentary election as part of their joint strategy to suppress genuine multiparty democracy in Ethiopia and promote dissension with the ultimate aim of bringing back from the dead the Tigrean People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and reestablish its minority ethnic apartheid rule.
Since the TPLF attacked the federal military base in Tigray region on November 3, 2020, the U.S, the European Union in cahoots with their lackeys — the Western old guard media, sycophant think tank echo chambers, the donation-grubbing self-righteous and self-appointed bearers of the “White Man’s Burden” in Africa, a/k/a international human rights organizations, heavily-lobbied prominent politicians, diaspora abandoned TPLF orphans and TPLF-lackeys in Ethiopia pretending to be dissidents — have been systematically and relentlessly shaping a demonic narrative on Ethiopia with the singular purpose of turning global public opinion against the Government of Ethiopia and to justify their role as the final deciders of the Lord of the Ethiopian “Iron Throne”.
The U.S. and E.U. have done it all with smoke and mirrors.
They have done it by using the “Tigray humanitarian situation” as a WEAPON OF GLOBAL MASS DISTRACTION.
The reason is simple and historical context could be informative.
After the Berlin conference of 1884/85, the scramble for Africa began. Italy sought to realize its colonial ambitions by invading Ethiopia.
On March 1, 1896, 125 years ago yesterday, Italy’s mighty army was defeated at the Battle of Adwa in less than 24 hours.
Adwa represents the first time a European colonial army was totally and completely defeated by a black African army. It was “Europe’s greatest defeat in Africa” and “Africa’s greatest victory over Europeans.”
That defeat sent shockwaves throughout the European colonial system.
The European colonial powers suppressed all information on the Battle of Adwa from spreading to the rest of their colonial possessions fearing a breakout of anti-colonial struggle inspired by Ethiopia’s victory.
The European colonial powers’ greatest fear was the potential devastating impact of the victory at the battle of Adwa and the tectonic effect of a rising and shining Ethiopia in the Dark Continent, made even darker by white colonial rule, could mean for the demise of white rule in Africa.
