US different Administration but Same Meddling Policy
May 2 2021
Hager Wodad,
Western governments are currently stooped in meddling in the internal affairs of Ethiopia. US presence, first by crude and ugly interference of its previous administration duo of
President Trump and Secretary Steve Mnuchin’s attempt at arm-twisting PM Abiy on the Grand Ethiopian Renaisance Dam (GERD) negotiations …(first US by feigning as observers, then becoming defacto 'impartial judges' , and finally as unabashed defenders of Egypt's interest).
Furthermore , when that did not work, bombing the GERD was suggested by president Trump, a presi- dent nicknamed by his former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson a “f**ken moron”. These acts are nothing short of meddling in the internal affairs of Ethiopia!
This was followed by the new president Joe Biden's administration and his new Secretary of State AntonyJ. Blinken who became Ethiopia's (humanitarian champion) declaring “grave concern about the deteriorating humanitarian and human rights crisis”, “the risk of famine in Ethiopia’s Tigray region and insecurity in other parts of Ethiopia”. The Secretary insisted on “Eritrean troops withdrawal from Tigray immediately, in full, and in a verifiable manner.”
We do have man made humanitarian crisis in Tigray but it is obvious for everyone to see, the scale of the Secretary's piped up assertions of Tigray's growing humanitarian disaster and human rights abuses don't match the clamor of the US & EU diplomats make it out to be through their media outlets.
