The long read: When Abiy Ahmed took power in Ethiopia, he was feted at home and abroad as a great unifier and reformer. Two years later, terrible violence was raging. How did people get him so wrong?

    Lol. The Nobel peace price was awarded to Obama, as he denied signing a treaty to ban cluster bombs. Then the Nobel peace price was awarded to “the EU” as it had its border guards throw refugees into the sea to die. Fucking Henry Kissinger got a nobel peace price for negotiating in Vietnam, while orchestrating the fascist coup in Chile.

    At this rate it is an insult to get this price.

    “Civil war” is a ridiculously polite way of putting it. It’s an attempted genocide.

    He got the Peace Prize for his alliance with Eritrea, the North Korea of Africa.

    He them teamed up with Eritrea to genocide some of his own countrymen in north Ethiopia.
