After three weeks of rumours, fake clips and "Ethiopia will fall" predictions, foreign military officers finally saw the evidence with their own eyes. And what they said after Bishoftu should silence a lot of people. 🧵👇 Military attachés from the UK, Australia, Kenya, Tanzania, Bangladesh, Gabon and South Sudan were briefed by ENDF leadership at Bishoftu Air Force Base and shown weapons seized in the operations. Officers from the US, Russia, Italy, Germany and China were there too. Here is what they said on camera: 🇬🇧 UK: "There's been a lot of speculation over the last three weeks… the briefing clarified the lead-up to the conflict and the conduct of the conflict." He said they respect the ENDF's right to protect its country from any threat, and urged all sides to respect the sovereign territory of their neighbours. 🇦🇺 Australia: she said she respects the ENDF's efforts to protect Ethiopia's sovereignty, and that all countries in the region must respect each other's borders. 🇧🇩 Bangladesh: "Ethiopia has the legitimate right to protect their sovereignty from any kind of foreign aggression." He said the ENDF is targeting legitimate military targets and trying to protect civilian lives. 🇰🇪 Kenya: "From the briefing it is very clear that ENDF undertook its mandate within applicable laws." 🇹🇿 Tanzania: after the briefing, he said, "I'm 100% sure that we are safe here in Addis Ababa and in Ethiopia as a whole." 🇬🇦 Gabon: most information comes from social media, "which can be fake." Official briefings are the right way. 🇸🇸 South Sudan: "If there is peace in Ethiopia, peace will come in South Sudan also." He asked the international community to stand behind Ethiopia for peace. Two messages came through again and again: 1. Ethiopia has the right to defend its sovereignty. 2. Every neighbour must respect Ethiopia's borders, and every side must de-escalate. That's exactly Ethiopia's position. Defend the country, protect civilians, and seek peace. To everyone who spent three weeks spreading fake news: the people whose job is to know the facts have now seen them. #Ethiopia #ENDF #EthiopiaPrevails

TOP SECRET: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 “𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀.” 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 “𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘁𝘆.” On 1 October 1947, the Director of the U.S. State Department’s Office of Near Eastern and African Affairs sent the Secretary of State a TOP SECRET policy memorandum concerning the future of the former Italian colonies. Under RECOMMENDATIONS, item 2 states: “That Eritrea be ceded in full sovereignty to Ethiopia” The recommendation contained an exception for the northwestern area inhabited by Moslem-Sudanese, which the memorandum proposed incorporating into Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. The same memorandum explains that the Department believed there was substantial historical, ethnological, linguistic, religious and economic justification for transferring the greater part of Eritrea to Ethiopia, providing Ethiopia with badly needed access to the sea. Assab is in southeastern Eritrea, not in the northwestern area identified for exclusion. So the documentary record is unusually clear: senior U.S. officials were not merely discussing an Ethiopian commercial corridor. They formally recommended Ethiopian sovereignty over the territory encompassing Assab. That recommendation was not ultimately the final settlement. But pretending such a proposal never existed does not erase the archive. Read yourself: history.state.gov/historical… #Ethiopia #Assab #RedSea #HornOfAfrica #History #Eritrea

While Shaቢያንስ writes long notes to the UN, look at what was found on the ground. Last week the ENDF captured modern military communication radios in Tigray. Not small radios. Full HF sets: DM12 125W digital transceivers, antennas, tuners, power units. On 13 Oct Ethiopia opened the crates in front of foreign military attachés: US, Russia, Japan, Italy, Tanzania and others. They saw the labels with their own eyes. The crates say: • Consignee: TDANA • Port of destination: Asmara, Eritrea • Contract: 01/10/25/TDANA • Shipment size: 182 crates So while Eritrea denies everything at the UN, the boxes still carry Asmara as the destination. HF radios like these are used to coordinate units across long distances. That is not a civilian delivery. That is military logistics. Ethiopia is not hiding this. It showed the world. Let independent experts check the barcodes and the contracts. If Asmara is clean, they should welcome that too. Words in New York. Labels on the ground. One of them is harder to erase. #EthiopiaPrevails
