The narrative of Abiy Ahmed—and by extension his government—as a "stabilizing partner" has officially collapsed in Washington.
5 senior U.S. Senators, including Senate Foreign Relations Ranking Member @SenatorShaheen, are demanding @SecRubio delay arms sales to Ethiopia and prepare emergency evacuations. Pushing to halt weapons and reinstate TPS for fleeing citizens is an open admission: the central state has failed, and continuing to arm it fuels atrocities and regional war.
The U.S. is preparing for his collapse. They know his war machine is a liability and he's dragging the Red Sea into chaos. Meanwhile, the UAE continues flying military cargo into Harar Meda, openly defying the American consensus. By clinging to Abiy, Abu Dhabi is isolating itself alongside a sinking regime.
Abiy has lost Washington. The U.S. is now openly realigning with Egypt, Sudan, and Eritrea. With China and Egypt already aligned, Congress’s position is a hard recognition of reality: the Alamein coalition is the new order, Abiy is losing, and the UAE’s proxy network is collapsing with him.

📷 BREAKING:
Five U.S. Democratic Senators Issue Urgent Warning Over Ethiopia’s Rhetoric on Eritrea’s Port of Assab
Five U.S. Democratic senators, including Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, have sent an urgent letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio regarding the ongoing conflict in Ethiopia and the threat posed by Ethiopia’s ambitions to secure access to Eritrea’s sovereign port of Assab by military force.
The senators leave no room for ambiguity:
“In particular, any discussion of a military acquisition of the Port of Assab should be off the table and we urge the State Department to avoid offering Port acquisition as a diplomatic tool during any negotiation. It should be made clear that any attempt by the Ethiopian government to forcibly access the Port of Assab will not be supported or accepted by the United States.”

The Canadian Ambassador to #Eritrea, Mr Joshua Tabah, laid a wreath at the #Asmara War Cemetery today, 11th November, on Rememberance Day. The cemetery is the final resting place of Second World War soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice in #Eritrea, particularly during the Battle of Tinkulhas (ጥንቁልሓስ).
It is worth remembering that the Battle of Tinkulhas, near the city of #Keren, was one of the major battles that helped determine the course of the Second World War.
The war cemetery both in #Asmara and #Keren, where the WWII soldiers are buried, is maintained in immaculate condition as a mark of respect for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice while fighting under the British Army of Winston Churchill.
Incidentally, Sir Richard Dimbleby, father of David Dimbleby, was the journalist who covered the fierce fighting at #Keren and the subsequent capture of the Red Sea port of #Massawa in April 1941. His audio reports brought news of the Horn of Africa theater of war to #British radio listeners @BBCRadio4 at the time.
Coincidentally, that was also the month in which Haile Selassie was smuggled into Debre Markos, in #Gojjam, through #Sudan by British forces, ahead of his return to power in #AddisAbaba in May 1941.
Haileselasie, never set foot to #Massawa, #Assab or any part of #Eritrea some 11 years afterwards in 4th October of 1952.
THIS WAS THE FIRST DAY ANY #ETHIOPIAN LEADER SET FOOT INTO #ERITREAN SOVEREIGN STATE EVER . #11Novembre2026 #RemembranceDay2026

If Abiy had not become #Ethiopia's Prime Minister by accident, he would probably be known only in certain corners of Beshasha as a certified liar and a delusional madman.
Unfortunately, he is currently the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, and we have to continue exposing his lies and hypocrisies until he is removed from power.
Just nine months after taking office in 2018, Abiy gave this interview in Davos. Watching it today is beyond embarrassing for everyone concerned.
In this clip, the interviewer prompts Abiy to talk about Ethiopia's lack of ports and how he was not afraid to travel to #Asmara to meet President Isaias.
For a man who today considers access to the sea an existential issue for Ethiopia, expresses sorrow over #Eritrea's independence and speaks angrily about how Ethiopia lost its ports, his answers in this interview expose his sheer hypocrisy. Given the opportunity, this would be the ideal place to say something about an existential issue for Ethiopia.
Alas, Not only does he fail to mention the port issue, but he goes on to claim that Asmara is safer than Davos and that conflicts are merely a reflection of the egos of political leaders.
I know everyone is aware of Abiy's hypocrisy and double standards, but his army of media sycophants works tirelessly, spreading misinformation and obscuring reality to manufacture their own version of the truth.
These facts point to the central reasons why Abiy wants to turn the port issue into an existential question:
1) To divert the attention of the #Ethiopian people from the enormous crisis facing the country, the worst in its history.
- The port issue was never part of Abiy’s agenda until the UAE offered him several billion dollars and asked him to act as its agent.

The statistical figures (link below) say it all!
The Potemkin Party continues to rachet up its internal and regional war agendas in all its destabilizing dimensions and ramifications.
Indeed, the Potemkin Party's track-record and signature trademark of war and turmoil are too evident to merit elaboration:
1. Instigation of multiple and spiraling internecine conflicts in the country, (ferocious military confrontations continue to rage, among others, in the Tigray, Amhara, Oromia and Somali regions);
2. Its declared war of choice against Eritrea in pursuit of its delusional agendas of "sovereign access to the sea" as well as projection of "naval power in the Red Sea" in flagrant violation of international law;
3. Exacerbation of the conflict in the Sudan by hosting a military camp in its territory, under the auspices of the UAE, for the conduit of arms, training of RSF troop and the launching of Drones;
4. Illicit acts in Somalia that are fraught with inducing polarization and balkanization of the country.
5. Massive rearmament to achieve its reckless agendas of internal and regional destabilization.
On the other hand, the Potemkin Party does not have the wherewithal/material capability to pursue these reckless wars of choice without the financial largesse that it has, and continues to receive, from various donors. Connect the dots....!

Genocide and persecution are ongoing in Gambella, Ethiopia. For decades, its people have faced discrimination, violence, and displacement. Today, under Abiy Ahmed’s government, allegations of land seizures and deadly attacks continue. #Gambella
TDF 👏👏
"Distinctive in its type and design," the TDF says. Tigrayan forces say their Unit 70 seized a rocket launcher, as the war with Ethiopia's army enters its seventh week.
The Tigray Defense Forces say their Unit 70 took the truck-mounted launcher in an operation at an undisclosed place and time, and have added it to the unit's artillery. Federal forces have retaken Mekelle, Adigrat and Adwa since fighting resumed on 23 September, and took Sheraro last week.
#Fano 👏👏
#Amhara #Fano forces claim to have killed over 242 #ENDF soldiers, wounded 62 and captured 35 prisoners during an offensive targeting federal military positions in Zebach Bahir, Metemma.
The operation, reportedly launched around 11 AM, also resulted in the seizure of 150 Kalashnikov rifles, 7 PK machine guns, 162,000 rounds of ammunition, 600 grenades, 600 magazines, 6 radios and 111 water containers.

Abu Dhabi's $100,000-a-Month Washington Influence Push: UAE Hires Wife of Chuck Schumer's Powerful Political Ally
As U.S. lawmakers intensify scrutiny of the UAE over allegations of support for Sudan's Rapid Support Forces, arms sales, and sensitive artificial intelligence deals, Justice Department filings reveal that the Emirati Embassy hired Jennifer Poersch, wife of J.B. Poersch, the president of Chuck Schumer-aligned Senate Majority PAC, through a contract worth $100,000 per month plus an additional $100,000 initial payment.
A Dark Box investigation examines how Abu Dhabi expanded its paid lobbying network just days before Democrats won control of the Senate. The October 30, 2026, registration identifies Guidepost Strategies as the new lobbying firm, retained through Akin Gump, which already represented the UAE Embassy.
As Abu Dhabi faces mounting questions over Sudan and its dealings with Washington, it continues pouring money into American lobbying, raising a serious accountability question: Is the UAE using its expensive political access network to shield its foreign policies from congressional scrutiny?
