Excellent article, I am just glad this is not happening in Europe. We just might see another war coming up there.

The war in Ukraine was orchestrated by the west to weaken Russia. USA has not won a war in the past 75 years. This proxy war in Ukraine will soon come to an end. RUSSIANS & UKRAINIANS are identical people. The word ukraine does not mean a seperate country ,it means (BORDERLAND) . WeAmericans need friendship with Russia , In our history we have been at war with 10 different countries, NEVER with Russia. In WWII , 95% of the 5,600,000 German/Axis troops killed got killed fighting the Russians. The USA lost 275,000 fighting in Europe.

And look at this: This elegant, sharp-minded Western academic discusses "Is Eritrea’s Dictatorship Finally Ending?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESa2Sa5AJfc , while the comments' section is filled with Eritreans all expressing pronounced affection for their government.

Very insightful, Andrew! I’d have never thought about the modern history of Ethiopia in that respect, but it is indeed similar to the situation in the Ukraine. 👍👍

The Foreign Minister is hallucinating about Eritrea’s history it’s leadership and it’s relation with Ethiopia. Ethiopia independence was guaranted by Eritrean people stand against foreigners in 1935 during Italian invasion colonization of Ethiopia. But Ethiopia sabotaged Eritrean Independence by conspiring with UK and USA in 1950 to steal Eritrean ports Masawa and Asab through fake UN sponsored Federation. After Ethiopia unilaterally dismantled the federation 1961 Eritreans fought the Ethiopian governments assisted by USA, Western European countries Israel, Canada, USSR, Eastern Europeans, Cuba and North Korea! Eritrea lead by Eritrean People Liberation Front (EPLF) lead by Isias Afworki defeated the Ethiopian army in 1991 and declared its Independence after Conducting referendum supervised by UN and international observers in May 24, 1993! Lead by President Isias Afworki.

You may be mastering Ethiopian-Eritrean relations. As a European reader, let me just report to you something pretty remarkable: Pretty much *everything* I've been reading in alt media about this subject over the years has run contrary to the version that you just presented.

Ethiopia was said to be run by a brutal and Western-backed government , while Eritrea is said to be run by a leftist regime, the relations of which with the West are the diametrical opposite of Ukraine's.

All this discourse, taken together, points to a need for discussion that should aim at answering the question: WHAT are the reasons to accept one version of the events or another?

Facts( all facts) and chronology.

Is there a version presenting every facts, without "forgetting" some? And are those facts presented with the good chronology?

So, it's the good one.

But I really doubt that such a version does exist
