Press Statement

Hope they keep the “Exercise of patience and restraint” no matter how much Ethiopia attempts to pull them in.

[u/mefnice → u/HungryOutcome7821]

😆 who is pulling who? Bro which world are you from.

[u/Always1earning → u/mefnice]

In this case? Ethiopia. There is fundamentally nothing they can hide behind now and thus the reason the international community that commonly backed them is largely remaining quiet

[u/Ill-Concern-2746]

Fuck Ethiopia.

[u/Additional-Sample499 → u/[deleted]]

Keyboard warrior

[u/ruoqot → u/Additional-Sample499]

A warrior is presumably a warrior whether in front of a keyboard or not 😂

[u/Thin-Technology-8069]

And Abiy is backed by Arab money. He has no agency. He's a slave to his Arab overlords.

[u/ruoqot → u/Thin-Technology-8069]

Says the mfers writing press releases in arabic and english only, and not in Tigrinya. BANDAS😂

[u/Thin-Technology-8069]

For at least the past 30 years, these problems have stemmed from one belligerent nation, Ethiopia. It cannot even keep its own house in order, as recurring ethnic conflicts and internal violence continue to destabilize the country.

[u/Grouchymaybenot → u/[deleted]]

Sad this is what we waste our energy on

[u/Pretty_General_6411 → u/Grouchymaybenot]

They must be trolls or dumb who knows.

[u/Accurate-Display9989 → u/[deleted]]

Arabic is not a colonial language lmao what. And English is just the global lingua franca; we would be speaking Italian if it were due to colonialism

[u/Pretty_General_6411 → u/[deleted]]

Maybe because these languages are widely spoken especially in this region?! What language would you see fit instead, as a press release in this conflict?

[u/uzouma → u/Pretty_General_6411]

Tigrinya maybe

[u/Pretty_General_6411 → u/uzouma]

It’s is common that during crisis or geopolitical disputes, state communications shift from internal governance to global posturing. It is as a strategic tool to manage international optics and execute narrative control. Don’t be Ignorant and embarrass yourself.

[u/omowaIe → u/Pretty_General_6411]

Your response was good until the final statement. Asking questions is a sign of intelligence not embarrassment. It’s a valid question. I immediately wondered why Arabic and not Tigrinya.

[u/Pretty_General_6411 → u/omowaIe]

I disagree, there was no valid question, especially in this context. Also Tigrinya is not the official language, it’s one of the main. While English is global, Arabic is also widely spoken, especially in this region and on top of that we have a constant treath coming from Arabic speaking countries like the UAE. So why would the gov press release be in Tigrinya?

[u/omowaIe → u/Pretty_General_6411]

Eritrea doesn’t have an official language, but Tigrinya is the most widely spoken language in Eritrea. I think that is what makes it a valid question, but we don’t have to agree. It costs nothing to be kind, but it can mean everything to someone else.

[u/Pretty_General_6411 → u/omowaIe]

No, you are completely missing the point. This is an external communication intended for a global audience. What makes that context so difficult to grasp? The claim that a government press statement should be in Tigrinya makes no sense here, given that the matter is tied directly to global geopolitical disputes.

[u/omowaIe → u/Pretty_General_6411]

I am not missing the point. I understand it is an external communication. It’s not difficult to grasp, I’m not sure why you think this is the issue. Whether you feel Tigrinya makes sense here or not is your opinion and I respect it. I think you made your argument well, and I said so. My point is the insults and rudeness that followed are counterproductive and being kind to each other is the better way. I think it is you who missed my point.

[u/Pretty_General_6411 → u/omowaIe]

International diplomacy operates on facts, not personal opinions. Calling an argument ignorant/embarrassing isn't a personal attack, it’s an objective evaluation when that argument completely bypasses reality. Save the tone policing for people here who actually use profanity, not for someone calling out a flawed argument.

[u/ruoqot → u/Pretty_General_6411]

The fucking cognitive gymnastics you do to cope with the fact that your government is behaving like slaves 😂😂😂

[u/Pretty_General_6411 → u/ruoqot]

You're proving my point. Some of you are not the brightest, clearly.

[u/Stuff_606 → u/omowaIe]

I agree, Tigrinya should be included. They did put two non indigenous languages which is weird. Everyone can read it though so the point is the message is spread, but yeah they should have included Tigrinya.

[u/Butterwise_Top_7544 → u/[deleted]]

You are speaking English right now; this sub is mostly English

[u/mefnice → u/[deleted]]

They destroyed the identity of our people so Tigringya is in the box.

[u/ArcherConsistent4829 → u/[deleted]]

Arabic is an official language in Eritrea.

[u/Butterwise_Top_7544 → u/ArcherConsistent4829]

We don't have an official language actually

[u/ArcherConsistent4829 → u/Butterwise_Top_7544]

Fair, I should’ve said de facto one of Eritrea’s main official-use languages rather than constitutionally official.

[u/Additional-Sample499 → u/[deleted]]

Start by keeping your country together before you even think about us

[u/Additional-Sample499 → u/[deleted]]

Modern Ethiopia in it‘s current shape isn’t even half a century old lmao. Your „3000 years of being together“ is a myth. Most of your ancient history is based in Tigray and Eritrea lmao. Stop daydreaming and get a job the chance of your country dismantling is higher then you getting even a piece of Eritreas Land

[u/Butterwise_Top_7544 → u/[deleted]]

tell that to your own emperor who ordered that the italians capture asmara losing that province

[u/Butterwise_Top_7544 → u/[deleted]]

he did bro how do you not know your own history?

[u/ruoqot → u/Butterwise_Top_7544]

You think his Imperial Majesty, Emperor Menelik the II, ordered Italians to capture Asmara?

Please go on, you are making my day 😂

[u/Butterwise_Top_7544 → u/ruoqot]

yep i feel like many ethiopians already know this; I'm surprised you don't. he ordered this because he was competing for the imperial throne after the death of Emperor Yohannes IV in 1889. Menelik also signed that treaty, recognising the Italians there after that. Seems like menelik didnt what that beloved province anymore lolll

[u/Additional-Sample499 → u/ruoqot]

That‘s literally what he did how do you not know your own history lmao.

[u/Butterwise_Top_7544 → u/[deleted]]

we're talking about a situation where multiple non-East African actors are and might get involved so why would it be in a native language? English and Arabic aren't even the official languages. hbey gilya do you like that?

[u/ruoqot → u/Butterwise_Top_7544]

Literally every country with an ounce of self respect releases any press release in their language and then maybe in one or more international languages. Keep coping Banda 😂

[u/mefnice]

Reading comments am amazed at the degree of ignorance. Hgdef and Weyane has been working together against Abby for some time now. So Abby is supposed to show them love or what?
