Ethiopia: Reports that the ENDF is moving troops to Kobo in North Wollo… and possibly to Alamata, Tigray region

There is now reports of Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) soldiers and troops movements in-and-around Kobo in North Wollo in the bordering towns to the Tigray region. There are expectations that the ENDF will be deployed in Alamata and Maychew inside Tigray region.

This is troop movement and mobilization for a new conflict. It is done in the open and done in the daytime. The ENDF and allies is most likely trying to encircle the Tigray region before the new final offensive or another return of the “Operation Law Enforcement”.

Just to top it off… the ENDF has also moved ENDF troops into Eritrea, which is the same trick the allies did in November 2020. So, that the Tripartite Alliance could attack Tigray on multiple fronts. They will attack from Western Tigray, Southern Border (Alamata) and Tsoronia-Zalambessa (Eritrea-Ethiopia border). So, expect a full fledged war and they will pin everything on the Tigray Defence Force (TDF).

The ENDF has already started by using artillery and sending missiles to the Dedebit area of Tigray earlier this week. They have already shown their heart and their will. The troop movements towards Alamata and possible to Eritrea. Just shows what is up.

While the Ethiopian media and sources will claim that the TDF is planning to attack Gonder, Amhara region. Which is very far-fetched… considering the TDF has only been defensive and haven’t done any military operation since the hallow “humanitarian truce”. Therefore, the vilification of Tigray and the TDF is on red-alert.

So, I was expecting war to return to the Tigray region. That being done by the ENDF and their allies. This has been on the horizon and done to buy time to recruit, buy equipment and ammunition. We just have to await mechanical divisions moved to the front as well. Than the repetition of the November 2020 conflict.

No one should be shocked that the ENDF or the Addis Ababa regime is instigating war. That’s what has been done in several regions of the Republic. Not only in Tigray. So here we go again and we should expect a bloodshed. A war-torn region will be hurt again and without a moment to rebuild or have the time to fight the man-made famine and starvation in the region. Therefore, this time will be much worse and possibly enlarge the humanitarian catastrophe even further.

So, if within the next few days there is news of attacks against Tigray on several of front. No one should be shocked, but everyone should be worried about the consequences. It has already been brutal and it won’t better this time around. Peace.

Opinion: Def Noodles, the wasted YouTube Commentary Channel… Part IV

The last month has been brutal for Dennis Feitosa aka Def Noodles. The educator of Comedy and gatekeeper of the art. He had yesterday his first “Roast Battle” in his newly made Comedy Club. It is clear that the YouTuber has invested and tried to expand his business. That is all fine and dandy. Anyone who can should do so.

We know that Def Noodles has tried to become an Edge-Lord, but that’s not working. His constantly backing into questionable territory. Him getting Twitter back is clearly not healthy. That’s the place where his loosing it and not able to keep his head cool. Def gets triggered and writes the most outrageous stuff. Like telling a man to get educated on the barrel of shotgun. That’s the sort of man he has become and that’s why the “Dennis the Menace” is being spread around.

For being someone who has tried to cater to the “woke” and “left-wing” commentary crowds. That’s a big shift and his losing subscribers. Yes, his trying to shift over to Paetron and get paying subscribers to keep the gig up. As his rates of viewers are going down. The average on his videos on his main-channel is bleeding. That’s because people are tired of his stick, hypocrisy and seeing how two-faced he is.

Secondly, this man cannot take criticism. In such a way, that he had to build a Comedy Studio fitting with about 20 chairs or so. Where he can host roast battles and whatnot. That is a feat in itself. I’m sure while he was trending during the pandemic. The money was flowing in and the ability to get notoriety was giving him hope for the future.

However, now in August 2022 the story is different. His not only been called out by many for being dishonest in his reporting of stories. He has shown his character and that he lacks the objective sense of feedback. If you give him negative feedback, your either a troll, hater or para-social. In addition, if you give positive feedback or writes like he talks – “your a ride or die fan” who understands him. That’s how he operates now and shows how he treats his following.

Certainly, there are people who are missing the Minecraft and Cat-Ear Era now of Def Noodles. Because, this Howard Stern knock-off isn’t it. Trying to be edge and hard isn’t him. He might try to be, but it falls flat. That’s why last night show or roast was a sad event to see. Just imagine the time and the workers building the venue, the famous wall and see amateur hour for about an hour. Well, we should have expected that much or that little.

Def Noodles LLC was incorporated in March 2021. Surely nice to become a LLC. He has hired a Videographer editor and has an intern. Maybe he has more people on his payroll. As the podcast has fellow hosts as well. Therefore, a lot of expenditure is going out before the profits. That’s just the gist of it. He has a sort of team now, but they are not helping his content sadly enough. His also selling merch as Def Noodles SUX. So, his trying to get as many revenue streams as possible now.

That being YouTube main channel, Podcast, Patreon and Twitch (suspended yesterday for 7 days). He says his been de-platformed, but it was breach of TOS. Not a shocker there, but that’s how the story goes.

We are seeing a man willing to do whatever, this arch isn’t his best, but maybe the pressure to keep the business afloat while trying keep it alive is to much for him. I’m sure that he miss being a actor and partake in movies nearly no one watched like “Donna” and “Eddie”. If not he sure wished he was able to sell the sitcom dream of “Appland” instead of ending up with cringe-fest of roast yesterday. Because, this wasn’t it. No matter how you play this one out. There is little meat on the bone here. You couldn’t even muster up a proper joke and only wanted to give Miranda the mantle and check. Def Noodles didn’t even try, no punchlines, no comeback and no comedic timing. Just like plenty of us has told was lacking in the YouTube Commentary videos. However, he has never listened.

Surely, something got to give. To have comedian in a bio doesn’t make a man funny. That’s what jokes does and they are far between. Def Noodles is currently lost and his bravado isn’t helping him. It most cost and that’s why his branching out. He got a business to run and people to pay. So, he needs cash. Controversy is supposed to sell, but at the moment it’s only bleeding. Also, it is backfiring when his not getting a turn-up or a response worthy of the craft itself.

Just like the taglines on Appland is “Starting Up is Hard” – we are seeing that doing Stand-up is even harder. Peace.

Sudan: Sudanese Professionals Association – Statement (20.08.2022)

The strike is a form of peaceful resistance to dictatorial regimes and means the paralysis of state institutions that the military and their allies have robbed and are trying to use to suppress us.

Or deal with it.

Our resistance people chanted with our throats eager for freedom and with our honorable martyrs, “The revolution is a union and a neighborhood committee.”

In order to prepare for the strike and raise the degree of organization through the general political strike committees, linking and coordinating them with the disobedience committees in the neighborhoods.

We also call on the masses of the Sudanese people in all the cities, villages, and regions of Sudan, especially the resistance committees, to continue the peaceful resistance and adhere to it, improve it and rise by degrees. Organizing it by initiating the formation of civil disobedience committees in neighborhoods and al-Furqan.

We will proceed in the battle of national liberation by all peaceful means and means to seize the full civil authority of the revolutionary forces, provided that the study continues among the revolutionary forces to chart renewed paths for the resistance action.

The valiant struggles of our people and the glory and immortality of our honorable martyrs lasted, and the revolution was free and victorious.
