Why are globalist mainstream media targeting the nations of Ethiopia and Eritrea with a vengeance over the Tigray conflict, attempting to make both states look like barbaric monsters? Is it because both Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia and President Isaias Afwerki of Eritrea pose a threat to the globalist agenda?
One of the most prominent Ethiopian globalists in the world, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus — head of the World Health Organization (WHO) — is a member of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), a Marxist-Leninist Ethiopian political party that clearly doesn’t promote the peace necessary to unlock huge opportunities for the Horn of Africa – thereby prohibiting development for both Ethiopia and Eritrea. The TPLF came into power in Ethiopia in 1991, after the demise of communist military dictatorship the DERG — under whose rule millions of people died as the result of famine. It was imperative for TPLF political support that Eritrea remained a feared enemy of Ethiopia.
At this point it’s worth mentioning that Tedros Adhanom was elected as a junior public-health expert by the DERG government — before being appointed by the TPLF regime as Ethiopia’s health minister in 2005 — despite not having a medical degree. Disregarding the fact that his seven-year legacy was an overburdened and collapsing healthcare system, Tedros’s globalist connections such as Bill Gates had no qualms about his appointment as WHO director-general in 2017. According to a New York Times story published at the time of his election, Tedros was accused by fellow WHO officials as concealing the truth about three cholera outbreaks in Ethiopia. UN officials were on record saying that more aid could have been delivered to Ethiopia had the truth been told.
In 2018, amidst the threat of Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign, globalists were faced with another challenge when Abiy Ahmed came to power as Ethiopia’s prime minister. He merged most of the country’s ethnic political factions into the Prosperity Party, freeing political prisoners, and reforming the economy. Approximately three months into his tenure, with the guidance of Donald Trump, a historic peace agreement was reached between Ethiopia and Eritrea — which normalized diplomatic relations; re-opened communications; and forged economic, social, cultural and security cooperation between the two countries. For this effort to achieve peace and international cooperation — in particular his initiative to resolve the border conflict with Eritrea — PM Ahmed was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019. It would therefore be fair to suggest that PM Ahmed sought to be independent of the globalist system.
The TPLF did everything in its power to obstruct Ahmed’s leadership: defying Ethiopian laws; staging a phony election; propelling an attack on the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) that they deemed “pre-emptive”; launching missiles at Eritrea’s capital, Asmara, which hit the airport and caused a blackout; and lying about a massacre in the ancient city of Axum. Mainstream media globalists seized the opportunity to demonize PM Ahmed when he responded to the ENDF attack on November 4, concealing evidence against the TPLF and shifting attention to the use of rape as a weapon of war by Eritrean forces. Addis Ababa-based Ethiopost published an interesting article on August 26 titled “Writing a False Narrative: How Mainstream Media is Rewriting Incontrovertible Facts about Ethiopia”:
This pressure on Ethiopian government was strategically supported by information warfare that often went to great lengths to rewrite facts. One such fact is how the current war broke out in the early morning of November 4, 2020. As a senior TPLF official admitted on television, the TPLF mounted a coordinated attack on the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) stationed in Tigray, leaving the federal government with no choice but to respond militarily. Unfortunately, mainstream liberal media, such as the New York Times, The Washington Post, and BBC, have preferred to gloss over this crucial fact or sometimes rewrite it, painting the federal government as the aggressor…. The narration by the New York Times portrays federal government as the party that attempted to militarily depose a peace-loving TPLF.
David Steinman, author at The Defense Post, wrote a piece on December 11, 2020 titled “Getting It Wrong in Ethiopia’s Tigray” that was far more accurate in capturing the Ethiopian sentiment regarding the TPLF:
They are still grieving and traumatized by the TPLF’s homicidal former rule and its ethnic-based destabilization campaign to maintain its corrupt grip on the national economy. They fear the TPLF as genociders, murderers, child torturers, rapists and terrorists — and justifiably so according to human rights groups.
On the Eritrean front, the European Union has already imposed sanctions on Eritrea for alleged human rights violations, including extra-judicial killings, torture, enforced disappearances, and arbitrary arrests. Eritrea’s Foreign Ministry blasted the sanctions, saying, “The EU has no legal or moral prerogative for its decision and has merely invoked trumped up charges to harass Eritrea for other ulterior motives.” This poses a question: Do those “ulterior motives” include President Afwerki’s failure to welcome COVID-19 vaccines into his country? Given what’s going on in the United States at present, there’s also the possibility that collapsing the Eritrean economy will cause migrants to flee to the West — to be used against the native peoples of the West.
