Best way to know wether black man is evil or not, examine yourself and tell ur self the answer.

Ethiopia PM Ahmed rejects international interference
Ethiopia has asked the international community to refrain from "unwelcome and unlawful acts of interference" in its internal affairs following calls to stop the conflict in the northern Tigray region.

Why are Africans this holistically foolish? If the people Tigre want to form a country, the Ethiopian government should encourage them to do so not besiege them with war.

Ruled for almost 30years, then want to pull out after just 2years of staying out of power?
Brain is paining you.
Just the way Northern Nigerians reason

I do not see anything wrong with the bolded. Ethiopian government should let them go please. This unnecessary fracases breed internal hatred. If the Tigrians were allowed to go very peacefully, there exist serious mutual co-operations in feature.

It might bring peace, no doubt, but to be frank, no leader/ruler would permit them to exit after enjoying the largesse of power.
Most of the nation's defence and critical infrastructure were domiciled in their region due to the time they spent in power, so a secession now means majority of the nation's assets will go to them by virtue of geographic location as those assets can't be liquidated in order to share the cash equally amongst all.

What of Amharic group which had ruled Ethiopia for many years dating back to the period of Emperor Haile Selassie? In fact, the bolded should not matter to Africans. Nigeria is bugged into basement of perpetual idiocy due to the Nigeria\Biafra war. The bitterness will never end and will continue to constitute obstacle to Nigeria's development. Africans should borrow a leaf from the Europeans.

A full blown civil war is inevitable in Ethiopia if the situation is not quickly brought under control. Foreign interest who benefits from war are using their media to push the two sides to war instead of resolving the matter without further escalation. At the end of the day, it is the people that would die, get injured and suffer the consequences of the conflict.

That's Nobel Laurette Winner, just like her counterpart in Myanmar

I really don't know why we have to go through war in order to settle issues we could have handled maturely
HAVE EVER READ LAW OF CONTRADICTIONS. SO THERE’S REALLY NO NEED TO FIGHT WARS BEFORE SETTLING ISSUES, BUT WE MUST USE NIGERIA SOLDIERS TO CRUSH IPOD SEPARATISTS HERE IN NIGERIA.

HOW DO YOU THINK SOMETIMES ALHAJI HELINUES undecided

Are we talking Biafra here or Ethiopia?
Imagine the northern part of Nigeria trying to secede from Nigeria if GEJ had won Buhari in 2015?
If that's the way secession works, every family should be a country by now.
This group is just out of power for 2yrs after about 3decades, then the next thing is to start taking control of military facility within their region so as to exit.
Would you have allowed such as a leader of any nation?

There is no benefit to war. Any war that starts never really ends, I wish they explore other options rather than this 18th century way of resolving issues.

Ethiopian fighter jets bombed targets in the restive northern province of Tigray, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said on Friday, in the latest escalation of a three-day old conflict that is driving the populous African nation toward a potentially destabilizing civil war.

“Our country has entered into a war it didn’t anticipate,” Gen. Birhanu Jula, the deputy chief of the Ethiopian National Defense Force, said on state television Thursday afternoon. “This war is shameful, it is senseless.”

In early clashes, there were “injured soldiers on both sides,” he added.

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced military operations in Tigray, accusing the region’s ruling Tigray People’s Liberation Front of arming irregular militias and orchestrating an attack on a major federal army base in the region.

Western officials reported clashes between federal and local security forces in Tigray on Wednesday that left dozens of casualties. But details have been sparse because internet and phone services to the area were cut off.

Speaking on Tigrayan television on Thursday, the regional president, Debretsion Gebremichael, said: “The Tigrayans have full potential to destroy enemies far and near, those who step on peace and declare war on the Tigray People.”

Tensions have been growing since September when Tigray defied Mr. Abiy’s authority and held regional elections even as votes in the rest of Ethiopia were postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The confrontation escalated in October when Ethiopian lawmakers diverted federal funding from the Tigrayan authorities as a means of punishment.

Now that the dispute has turned to fighting, Mr. Abiy risks a difficult campaign.

Tigray has a large paramilitary force and a well-drilled local militia, with up to 250,000 armed men, according to the International Crisis Group.

The region is also home to Ethiopia’s largest army base and, by some estimates, half the troops in Ethiopia’s Army, along with much of its artillery and other heavy weaponry.

The Tigray People’s Liberation Front toppled a Marxist dictator in 1991 and went on to effectively rule Ethiopia for near three decades. But its influence declined steeply after Mr. Abiy came to power in 2018.

Tigrayan officials complained of being marginalized and unjustly accused of corruption and human rights abuses, and many were enraged by Mr. Abiy’s description of their period of rule as “27 years of darkness.”

Mr. Abiy, for his part, views Tigrayan leaders as inveterate troublemakers still smarting from their loss of influence.

As the confrontation between the two sides escalated this year, public sentiment for secession from Ethiopia grew inside Tigray. But in turning to military action now, Mr. Abiy has set off an unpredictable conflict that risks spilling over into the rest of Ethiopia, Africa’s second-most populous country.

This is how Tigray will end up with its needed independence.

Motherhood is joy but childbirth comes with pain and blood.

Tigray is experiencing new birth. Their joy is ahead, as an independent mother to all its citizens.

Biafra stands with Tigray.

To hell with zoo.
