There are media campaigns going on against Ethiopia

The Western media have been campaigning to tarnish the image of Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy and his government, and the US has been threatening with sanctions, because of human rights issues. But the real motive of the negative media campaigns and sanctions threats is that PM Abiy has refused to be a puppet, and he has been carrying out independent policies. 

The US does not care for human rights; many of its allies are countries ruled by dictators who abuse human rights. The issue of human rights is just a pretense the US uses to interfere with the internal affairs of a country.

It is amazing how politicians use nationalism to trick people into believing they have achieved something. But in reality, the independence of Eritrea has no benefit for Eritreans, except, of course, for those in power.

The next general election can not be perfect

The next general election in Ethiopia will be held on June 21, but no one should expect the results to be accurate. Ethiopia is learning how effectively to organize elections so if there is no clear winner and the results are disputed the seats should be equally shared with the disputing parties. No need to argue or cause problems. 

Exaggeration and dramatization is part of journalism

Exaggeration and dramatization is part of journalism.  Good example is how CNN reports about the crisis in Tigry, Ethiopia. You can look it up in Google. There is a saying in Amharic, 'it is easy to tell lies about a far land.' That is what CNN has been doing. Good for business.
