How Abiy Ahmed Captured Ethiopia : From Hero to Global Pariah

The Ethiopian Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed Ali, stands out as one of the youngest leaders in East Africa and the entire African continent. He rose to power at the age of 42 in February 2018, following the resignation of his predecessor Prime Minister Hailemarian Desalegn, he quickly exemplified himself as a peacemaker and a collaborative international leader. He ended Ethiopia’s long-running border disputes with Eritrea
Abiy Ahmed's rapprochement with Eritrea earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019, but his aura then seriously faded when he sent the federal army to quell the rebellious authorities of the northern region of Tigray. The war in Tigray, which lasted from November 2020 to November 2022, claimed several hundred thousand lives.
His journey from darling of the international community to condemnation has been swift.

[@blackanarchicreacts]

Abiy's policies have been ruinous for Ethiopia. As many problems as Meles' government made for the political sphere, his "developmental state" model did see substantial growth for Ethiopia, as Gerard Prunier has observed. A big part of that was reorienting toward China and India. Abiy's "market-friendly" Western IFI orientation has led Ethiopia to the brink of economic disaster

[@jasonc0065]

​@@blackanarchicreacts it's typical of the west to gaslight capitalism whenever it works.

I have been looking forward to a new episode eagerly and this one was especially good. I was not aware Ahmed was ever internationally respected. For as long as I’ve been aware of Ethiopia its rulers have been notorious for their cruelty. But I have infinite respect for these thousands of people who have the courage to come out and protest when they know exactly what the government response will be. It should be an inspiration to everyone.

[@teddydog6229]

This happens over and over again. You hear the US government praise some new African leader as being the ‘fresh new democratic leader’ in Africa. Once it was Yoweri Museveni. Then it was Paul Kagame. For about a month even Laurent Kabila was supposed to be the new African Gorbachev. Then you wait 2 or 3 months and, without fail, the mass graves appear. Except Thomas Sankara. He was the best but still that is usually the rule. A friend of mine from South Sudan was so furious she was actually stomping her foot and yelled ‘No more leaders !! The African people are sick and tired of all these leaders !” and I wonder if the answer is there somewhere. Someone needs to be able to make decisions but does it always have to be one man ? It’s almost hard to blame these men, criminal as they may be. If someone puts you in office with no real checks on your power, how long before you start going crazy and killing people who look at you the wrong way ? Absolute power corrupts absolutely - every single time. Before the colonial powers came, weren’t decisions made communally in Africa ? George Bush proved you can’t export US-style democracy but who would even want that now ? Like Kwame Nkrumah came up with Panafricanism someone needs to come up with a kind of democracy which will work for Africa. But no more leaders. Clearly the African people are sick and tired of these leaders.

[@free1855]

​@@teddydog6229Although I fully agree with your analysis, bear in mind that Kagame, Museveni, Ahmed etc...all serve western interests. It is in the interest of the North to keep us poor and in permanent conflict, so they can carry on plunder our resources and reduce our population. Most of these leaders are chosen by the North. You talked about South Sudan, Kiir wasn't meant to rule. John Garang was. But he died in a helicopter crash (provided by Museveni). Peace is not an option in South Sudan. The U.S. wants full access to its reources. As long as Kiir keeps war going he is safe. Same applies to Ethiopia, Eritrea etc...all puppets of the North.

[@teddydog6229]

@@free1855 While I’m not informed enough to say whether I approve or disapprove of the coup in Niger, the leaders certainly made headlines - indignant headlines I should add - when they demanded the USA leave the country effective immediately.

@@free1855 That’s what I’ve said !!! Twice now !! I am both glad and was very surprised but in a good way. I hope the military haven’t been as cruel to the former president as the newspapers are all claiming, but I even felt bad for Master Sergeant Samuel Kanyone Doe when he was getting his ears cut off and he was a monster. No, I think the more of this the better. But seeing a country like Burkina Faso or Zimbabwe reject the USA in exchange for Russia is not exactly an improvement. I’d like to see all of Africa become radically less dependent on any Western aid and become as self-sufficient as possible.

[@blackanarchicreacts]

Ethiopia is not a "nation," it's a colonial empire built by Shewan Amhara leadership with French and British guns and military advisers, for the end of extracting the natural resources of non-Amhara lands for Western markets. To say nothing of its legacy of slavery (gabbar/neftegna system). TPLF is not the only group that tried to break away from Ethiopia. Oromo Liberation Front, Ogaden National Liberation Front, Sidama Liberation Front and other secessionist movements have tried, over the decades, to break Ethiopia's stranglehold on their regions. "War is bad" but Abiy Ahmed is a chief warmonger. He has even waged war on Oromos, mass-arresting and drone-striking civilians who protest his regime in Oromia, and antagonizing Somalia, Eritrea, and Djibouti for port access.

It was too quick to recognize his peace efforts. The peace award was not deserved. His predecessor had laid a good economic foundation which he is still riding on. Politically, with no term limits and considering his age and recent ambitions, are we staring at political games to remain in office in perpetuity?

Abiy Ahmed is an amazing leader the west doesn't like him because he is a genius mind who can change Ethiopia and Africa. When you see rebel groups sent by the West they want regime change in Ethiopia. You have to think about why the West tried hard to make Abiy evil because they knew Abiy Ahmed's capability. Abiy Ahmed is our king 👑

[@jasonc0065]

They made one of their own leaders "racist" in the same way. What you call the west is what we call the left.

[@aman_le_grand]

I swear to God one of our biggest problem is Accountability. There is always someone to blame. Everyone who we don't like is backed by the US and the one on our side is fighting imperialism. Is it because the west doesn't like him that they present to him the highest honer a person could have? This may shock you, but leaders are also humans not gods. People tend to be greedy, evil, stupid, and a lot more. When you give so much power at the hand of a single person you should be very cautious as to how they are using it rather than blind hero worshipping and fanboying.

Ethiopian federalism was and is a good thing for ethnic groups within Ethiopia that wasn't keen in being subjugated and dominated by Amharic culture of former Abyssinia. Each ethnic group should have their own autonomous region and their language as the official language.

[@woobiefuntime]

I would say have a bi lingual states.

[@blackanarchicreacts]

@@woobiefuntime it's not just a question of languages. It's a question of land ownership, relationship of national groups to the federal government, and religious distinctions. Even a bilingual setup would not satisfy the linguistic demands of the Somali and Tigrayan nationalities, setting aside Gurage, Wolayta, and the dozens more ethnic groups that make up Ethiopia's majority. Federalism is the closest thing Ethiopia has to a power-sharing relationship among nationalities; without it, Ethiopia would disintegrate...maybe for the better

[@040entertainment5]

Then oromos should leave addis ababa and shewa, which historically are ancient amhara regions and stop claiming that this region is called "oromia" and belongs to oromos. Oromos are invaders from northern kenya originally. Go and google "oromo migration/expansion" in this regard.

[@blackanarchicreacts]

@@040entertainment5 lmao the Amharas weren't even in Shewa prior to the 1840s, what on Earth are you talking about? If Oromos are "invaders" then Amharas are definitely invaders, since the Oromo expansions happened in the 1500s and the Shewan Amhara kingdom only dates back to the mid-19th century. Also, there is no anthropological evidence that Oromos came from "northern Kenya," they are Cushites and there are Cushites all over the African Horn. Meanwhile "Semites" are historically confined to the northern highlands. What a joke. Why don't you go back to Bahir Dar instead of telling other people to leave their lands

[@d.j.94]

​@@blackanarchicreacts​​ you said Shewa only dates back to 19th century but it is much older even before the Oromo Migration King Dawit II had the Abyssinian Palace main Kingdom Center in Shewa 1508 year. This is the whole Abyssinias center (Amhara Agew and Tigre) Abyssinia didn't consist of Oromos at the time. It was actually the Somalis during Adal that invaded Abyssinia. You've been brainwashed into thinking Abyssinians and Amhara are the invaders or aggressors. Look up Mahdists Ethio war, Turk Ethio war, Adal Somali +Afar invaders, Egypt Ethio wars... The Christian Kingdom of Ethiopia/Abyssinia even saved Islam before the brutal Islamic Conquests on us but people act as if Abyssinians are the aggressors. There is more than 3000 years of amazing history in Abyssinia which have been recorded by outside nations as well as internally. Truth will prevail.

Dictator abiy

[@SummerRenaissance]

Good video, but you made a wrong point that is often repeated. It was PM Hailemariam who started the release of political prisoners and established an independent human rights institution. He did so at the height of the Oromo protests and laid the foundation for Abiy's success on the matter. He deserves a video of himself too btw. Also, it is important to note that Abiy is failing Ethiopia as his authoritarianism has created an even more divided, fractioned country with no economic or security prospects.

[@FikerSelam-wz9fn]

Priminster Abiy is a young, intelligent, visionary,charismatic and patriotic leader of our time. In such a very short period of time, with all the challenges and the difficulties, he transformed Ethiopia's economy in to one of the fastest growing and developing economy in agriculture, manufacturing and tourism. Ethiopians are really lucky to have him and should treasure him.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@nelsondumisani7863]

He is doing a great job. He is an outstanding leader. It wasn't going to be easy to bring so many ethics groups together. He will succeed in disarming all those tribal armies. The issue of the port deal with Somaliland and the Renaissance dam shows that he is a great visionary and ambitious leader

[@blackanarchicreacts]

"Foundational Black Americans" is a misnomer. The first so-called Black Americans were Spanish slaves who were culturally very distinct from the slaves of Anglo settlers whose descendants use the designation "FBA" today. The main proponents of that label are anti-African frauds like Tariq Nasheed, who use it to foster division between Afro-diasporic people. Movements that fought for our liberation from US settler-colonialism, like the Organization of Afro-American Unity or Republic of New Afrika or Black Liberation Army, referred to us as Afro-Americans or New Afrikans
