No, we are not aware of that, what we become aware by reading the three thorough excellent reports, of varied sources, linked by B, is that he is not only mixed Muslim/Christian, but also, and most important here, funded by KSA and UAE, just the sunni extremists major players in the “Colation of the Willing”, war of extermination on Yemen, both with lowest scores in human rights in the world, who, in spite of that, count with the full support of not only the “Champion of Democracy and the Free World”, the US, but, I guess, due your complaints, also “Great Watchover of the West”, the UK, both involved to the tilt in the Yemen genocide by providing not only mass destruction weapons to KSA and UAE and myriad of PMC killing national people there, but also trainers and mercenaries, while reports there were in the first times of the genocidal war on the peoples of Yemen that “coalition of the willing” aircrafts were managed by Israeli pilots taking off from UAE airfields…
There is no way the Tigrayans would assault any military detachment to achieve military assets, since they have no need, as they conform major part of Ethiopian army and hold a quite respectable arsenal, as one of the reports linked by b so thoroughly explains.
Abyi Ahmed “democratic efforts” passed through elimination any other ethnic Ethiopian group historically present from government and, not only, but also eliminating regional authonomy and right gurarantedd by the Constitution the Ethiopian peoples, along the Eritreans ( once a united people ) awarded themselves, and which included the right of self-determination/secession of any region in case it could feel like to do so, and it is precisely because of that the Eritrean nation currently exists, in the first place.
Your “democratic” candidate IS NOT the president elect, but a fruit of a “peaceful transition of power” from the previous elected PM, which refuses to hold new elections as was agreed when the previoud elected PM resigned in his favor. He has continuously ignored claims from the regions to hold new elections, perpetuating himself in power against the will of the Ethiopian people ( benefiting as so many others in this from the Covid-19 pandemic, which starts appearing all the way as a means to reshape the world geopoliticaly, after we have witnessed how in the term of few weeks the borders of two European countriies have changed in the Caucasus…). In that scenario, the Tigrayans, to the webs of seeing their right to participate in Ethiopian politcal life erased, and without any perpective of returning, decided to hold regional elections by themselves, in their right guaranteed by the federal Constitution, to which Abyi Ahmed responded sending in the army, declaring a war on his own nationals. More or less the same procedure like in Yemen, oye, what a casuality!
To help crushing this increasing resistance from Tigray, and other regions like Oromo, to his increasingly tyrannical rule, in search of making of Ethiopia a new African Empire, becoming himself the new Emperor of Ethiopia, of course ( as he most probably has been promised by certain foreign powers ) he cut off water, electricity and communication from the Tigray region, in a clear intend to exterminate its whole population what was contested with armed isurrection which is the right thing to do when you are on the verge of being terminated.
While most of the neighboring nations/countries wish the peace and estability to return and claimed for peaceful negotiations, Eritrean current dictator meddled in favor of “PM encargado” Ahmed ( go to know what promises from KSA and UAE/US /UK..) producing in the way some false flags to blame the Tigrayans, which make him candiate for a fair retaliation, as jus happened in a unique Eritrean location, Asmara airport, for him to be aware of the convenience of minding his own business.
What Abyi Ahmed is doing is, instead of nation building, destroying the delicate ethinc social fabric constructed through decades in Ethiopia, destroy the Federal Democratic People´s Republic, to rebuilt from ashes a new African Empire, and, on behalf of whom would be this? Well, support from KSA and UAE, the same “nation builders” acting in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, through their porxies and means, and other places, could give and idea…I bet the US/UK and Israel in the current run up for resources, after China had become a good economic partner of Ethiopia, and to cause instability in the region when Russia just reached an agreement with South Sudan to have there a naval base…

Yeah, the part false part comes when he blames the “lumpemproletariat”, along with the banking/financists ( of which he was part, btw…)for the evils of the working class and middle class, that way, since the working class could never be able to reach the wealthy, who, i ncase of necessity, will hide in theri security bunkers, along the “deep state”, it gets as unique scapegoat the “lumpemproletariat”, along the immigrants, which is your typical fascist way to disperse the rage when they arrive the bad times, deepest crisis of capitalism which comes deepening since 2008. Notcie also, that he is typicaly fascist in that he never blames the capitalist system in itself..
He describes “lumpemproletariat” as those living from the state, one guess unemployed, disabled, pensioners…What´s wrong with this people, how he knows they have never worked, how he knows they are not disabled by “serving the country” in the unending wars for the profit of the MIC and transanational corporations?
Thus, his poorly elaborated platfrom, at politcal level, since they have nothing in the basket for the working class, reduces to this:
-We must grab power as the wealth to share decreases and there is not enough for the two parties in the bipartisan system we have formed here.
-To grab power we must gain the support of the working masses for the Republican Party.
-To gain their support we must inform them on how they have been robbed during decades by a phantom we create ad hoc, the “deep state”, without explaining how the very Republican Party is part of this phantom, but signaling the Democratic Party through a myriad conspiracy theories spread by a well connected/designed networks of blogs, “alt-media”, youtube channels, and so on.
-To avoid them coming for the head of elites ( amongst whom we are counted…), we must signal another culprit at hand from amongst them, the real “deplorables”,· who do not work at all and spend our taxes, or are aliens who keep robbing the jobs who belong to the people of good and God ( not because they have been called in by the same corporations whose interests´our party has laways defended..)
-If we win the elections, we must keep the rage and hatred and conspiracy theories rolling anyway, otherwise the people will start thinking that, after all, we are not fulfilling any of our electoral promises, we have only benefited the rich once grabbed power, and moreover, another great economic crisis is here, the great corporations have been bailed out by them working class and middel class, and there is no money to bail them now.
-If we lose the elections we must nearly destroy the system, or even start a civil war, so that the people does not have enough peace and tranquility so as to start thinking and become aware of the scam, and thus could came for our heads, when they realize they have been robbed by umpteenth time, but this time they have been really plucked, and that morevoer a part of their money I hold myself in my accounts in Goldman Sachs, or any other bank or tax haven.
This is your typical scoundrel, timador de toda la vida, and those behind him are the greatest scammers, including casino owners and all kind of dirty business, and their lawyers, what is new here?
This is as old as the world…

I just read theamerican conservative B linked to this thread.. American Conservative at first, I was appalled at the authors start date, but then I realized it was intentional, to leave out that global dominance was embedded from the start in the constitution. Few underestood just how big and powerful the British West and East Indies companies were during these times. These companies and many like them, were everywhere at once, their merchant shipping was protected by the world’s strongest navy. and history shows everything British Commerce touched was exploitative to the target of the touch. In America, the oligarchs had control of the colonies because they were the owners of the land (land grants), the colonies were used to enrich the commercial interest of the mother country (<= a statement that holds true in every British Colony) and to understand how weak the historical background of that Article is, you need to look at what was happening in Russia, Japan, China, South America, Africa, Iran, the Ottoman Empire, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, and most of all the British Colonies in America that became the USA because the powers that be were active in every damn one of those places, all at once, simultaneously. If you read the British legislation during those periods you will see the parliament was doing then what the USA congress does today, writing laws to protect home town commercial interest across the globe. This is the British way, to extract the profits from many places at once, by colonization, and when the colony rises up seeking independence, then the Brits seize control of the new instituted local politics and the banking systems. Wherever the British were, the locals were exploited and this did not start in 1900 it began maybe in the 1450's with the enclosure acts and the development of the industrial revolution.
Owning the means to make things and the means to transport them to markets was a first premise.. in time, it was discovered, that it was not necessary to own the physical colony or the physical factory that made stuff, all that was needed was to control the production and the means to transport the produced goods. Investment grade Copyright and patents were the heart and sole of the British Coffee Houses <=where the wealthy bought and sold them like stocks and bonds, but remember these intangibles do not evidence ownership of anything physical, they are means by which control of all and every means of production in near and far away places are controlled from the arm chair of a wealthy oligarch..
Over the period from 1450 to about 1900 the Oligarchs had several privileges that allowed them to control nearly everything in every place at the same time. One was the privilege to board a ship or place on board a ship their representatives who go travel and go to just about anywhere with sufficient wealth to corrupt nearly all people and their governments. After boats, beginning in 1850s or so came the Rail roads and again few were able to ride them because the cost was out of reach, then in the 1890s, the telegraph, and in the 1920s or so airplanes, again the wealthy few could go anywhere.. and they developed a banking system which is today called the Federal Reserve and they developed a system to control the politics where ever they had a need to do, it was called the nation state. WWI was planned in Switzerland in 1897.. Russia signed a pack with France and the next Year Britain, France and the USA agreed to get Germany and to take the oil from the Ottomans. It jelled in 1913 the same year the constitution of the United States was changed to allow the taxation of the incomes of the American people; taxation was necessary to guarantee the loans the federal reserve was to make to the nearly broke nations in Europe who were going to fight wwi so commercial interest could eliminate competition from Germany and gain monopoly access to the Ottoman oil. Please note <=with days after the income tax amendment (16th) passed the USA congress, the federal reserve act passed the congress and the public sovereign nation state (USA) gave its right monopoly in money to private bankers.
The subject article seems to pick up from there. ?
