Abiy Appealed for a 12-Billion Dollar Foreign Loan to Stoke the Fires of Ethnic

Ethiopia got over 100bn USD in foreign grants and loans over the last 32 years but now has practically nothing to show for it except 20 million Ethiopians in need of emergency food aid ,5 million internally displaced persons,22bn USD frittered away on wanton civil wars, nearly 29bn outstanding external debt, hyperinflation, a 60 percent youth unemployment and a litany of other economic, political and social problems including ethnic profiling, targeted killings and acts of horrific evil !
And now Abiy appeals to the international community for an additional 12bn USD foreign loan through one Teklewold Atnafu ,a former long-time governor of the Ethiopian central bank(NBE) ,who was a central figure in causing all the problems mentioned above and ,above all, converting the NBE into a currency printing press, dangling a fake 3-year so-called “home-grown” economic development plan( which could have been better-generated on ChatGPT) and, you guessed it, in the midst of  another raging civil war !
The Biden Administration somehow seems to pursue a foreign policy stance on Ethiopia cobbled together in the 1970’s by the shrewd former American National Security Advisor ,Henry Kissinger, of ethnically and religiously destabilising Ethiopia to prevent it from falling into the “Soviet trap”, which ,of course, no longer exists ! Of course ,President Biden should now stay zillions of miles away from such a defunct foreign policy monstrosity and uphold ,at least usual foreign policy orientation towards respect for human and democratic rights ! It is an open secret that  the two Western-oriented global financial giants, the World Bank and the IMF, take orders from the world’s most powerful palace, the White House, which ,incidentally ,openly unhinged Abiy Ahmed tries to excel in splendour by possibly using part of this planned foreign loan for the fabulous trillion-birr palace he is building by clearing the years-old forests surrounding Addis Ababa( what “green legacy?!”)
Hence, if the West again makes the mistake of trying to get Abiy out of trouble by” throwing money ” at Ethiopia’s dire political problems, it will only end up by being blamed for the clearly visible atrocity crimes being committed even as I write by the genocidal Abiy kleptocracy ! President Biden, if you think you are only the President of the United States of America, pardon me, you are wrong ! Throwing money at an African seemingly political and economic problem is not the right solution ! You would clearly be stoking the fires of ethnic hatred in the Ethiopian case ! Humbly, not a particularly good thing to do in an election year !

  1. What Abiy needs money for is to finish his project of the Grand Ethiopian Genocide, grandest of all genocides in human history. The powers of the day should release this money to him as this is an event they tirelessly worked towards for over four decades. He is the Frankenstein that their TPLF created. They resuscitated the TPLF so the entire Horn of Africa would be awash with blood. For EPRDF (TPLF + PP) they have wiped out their past crimes against humanity so they can start their work of terror, ethnic cleansing and blood letting with a clean bowl.

  2. This is for the dear editors of this esteemed website. A friend just shot me an email to tell me that there is a conference by our Diaspora here in the USA scheduled for this coming Friday July 21, 2023 in San Diego. I have attached the copy of the announcement for you below. The US Special Envoy to the Horn of Africa H.E. Mike Hammers is one of the two speakers at the conference along with Congresswoman Sara Jacobs, Ranking Member of the Africa Subcommittee. Have you heard about this conference? How come the organizers did not post the announcement on your and other website? Will that be streamed live online so we can all watch the conference?
    Here is the link of the announcement:

  3. Ittu Aba Farda,

    What is the conference for, Ittu? To support the the Sh*t head, who lighted and continue to light fire everywhere, turning the country into a total war zone, a man responsible for the death, destruction and dislocations of millions, the continued misery of millions of Ethiopians?

    He needs money now to feed his killing machine, hoping some people to support him to get the loan?

    Well, you are not the brightest bulb, as your postings show – others, however, with any intelligence at all, would not listen to this man.

    Unless they are criminals themselves, Who would give money to this man, Abiy Ahmed, this bungler in chief, this inhuman monster?

    He would only be using it to just be causing the next death, and destruction and chaos of countless many poor people, then and another, that is all.

    Who would listen now to this mass murderer, the psychopathic underwriter of genocide, the dislocater of millions of poor people, a man responsible for the misery of millions, who would listen to him?

    For five years now, he has killed, dislocated, jailed journalists, until now there are no journalists left in the country, they are all in prison.

    Hundreds of thousands of people who were living in the two hundred thousand houses demolished by Abiy Ahmed and his corrupt hench men are now completely homeless. Who would listen to this man?

    This man, Abiy Ahmed, has turned Ethiopia into Corruptistan. Who would listen to this man now?

    If anyone listen to him, he would only be lying them anyway.

    The Sh*t head, has learned extreme form of lying from the other Sh*t heads, the TPLF, that he has now made even more extreme, everything he say is now a lie.

    So, anyone who listens to this man, Abiy Ahmed, or believe whatever this man says, in any way at all, then, they deserve what is coming to them?

    Of course, any such would rue and curse the day they believed him.

    If they didn’t learn by now, when would they learn?

    Amhara are on the right track if they kept it up, it very much looks likely they would, I am happy.

    They have to get rid of Amhara PP at the same time, it is not sufficient to fight Abiy Ahmed’s army,

    They have to effectively deal with those who are making it possible for Orumuma army to inflict pain on them!

    Go, Amhara, Go, GO GO FANO GO!

    We are all with you!!!

  4. Forget about borrowing more money. I was chillin on my back porch yesterday scanning the world with my high power telescope and suddenly something caught my attention. My telescope just stopped scanning and went fixated on the areas surrounding Addis/Finfine. I saw movement of heavily armed rushing toward the palace from west and north locations. When I zoomed in I saw words OLA and Fano written all over the foreheads of those armed men. Then I jumped on the phone called my Itu merchant men living in the capital to find out what is going on. They told me both Fanos and OLA have overrun the EDF soldiers and are in the city now. PM Abiy has fled to his father country of the Philippines and Jula is now living in an abandoned old building right on the intersection of 9th and U St NW in Washington DC protected by his Navajo, Apache and Cherokee cousins. Okay bigots! You can now start dancing in the streets in your dreams before your sorry behind is carted off to the slammer for disturbing the peace of residents!!!

    1. Ittu Aba Farda,

      You have been writing the same nonsense for a long time now, try to be a bit creative, vary it a bit, it is kind of boring.

      As to your continued effort trying to tie together the FANOs with your beloved terrorists OLA, OLF is tiresome and delusional.

      Who are trying to confuse? You cannot convince anyone, anyway . . .

      FANOs are freedom fighter, People who are forced to fight, by a criminal government who is denying them their basic right.

      OLA, OLF, Abiy Ahmed, Berhanu Jula, are terrorists and their leaders, respectively.

      I was listening to Yohannes Boyalew speaking at the Amhara parliament, that is courage in action!!!

      He put out it all, all the machinations of Abiy Ahmed, the 5 to 7 millions of Amhara people who have been dislocated from Oromo region and more.

      Amhara people are denied even the right of refugees in their own country.

      Sudanese, Somalian refugees have better right in Ethiopia than the Amhara.

      We have known all that and more, but now he said in the parliament, good on him, I raise my hut to him, to Yohannes Boyalew.

      He is the man!!!

    a) Humble Comment with a shock
    b) Appealed for a 12-billion Dollar Foreign Loan?!?!?!?!?
    c) The Honorable Prime Minister must be in a humorous mood.
    d) What guarantee does Ethiopia has for the safe utilization of the loan money?
    e) In fact, what if the 12-Billion Dollars disappear in the thick jungle of the world ?
    f) And then, who will be the next charlatan for a scheme of 12-Billion Francs or Lire , or what ever… ?
    g) And then, who will baptize Ethiopia as the world’s poorest country in the Universe?
    h) And so, the extraordinary history of the world-famous Ethiopia will be gone with the wind.
    i) Will that make Ethiopians happy with tranquility?
    j) Dear individual Ethiopian, of any stripe, be honest to thyself .
