Ethiopia: Is “Operation Unity” endangering ENDF in Amhara region?

Today is the fifth day of the “Operation Unity” which makes four FANO Groups coordinating and working together to combat the Federal Government. The prolonged war in the Amhara region between the formerly government trained people of FANO and the ones who didn’t disembark from the Regional Special Forces to the ENDF. These have now fought ENDF for a long time now.

However, that has been done in fractions and in terms of local leadership. It haven’t been coordinated or been in strategic manners. It was more loose based and not as structured. So, the start of such operation and campaign is a turn between the Amhara para-military groups of FANO and the Federal National Army, which is the ENDF.

It is striking that they are doing this in Gojam, Gonder, Welo and Shewa. That shows the collective efforts and that the FANO isn’t bickering under or giving way. The lies and deception of the Prosperity Party. That they were holding talks with FANO and making peace haven’t been truthful. When they are all partaking and doing this now.

This here should worry Addis Ababa, as the fragmented FANO could easily be overcome or total destroy over time. Now the FANO is getting organized and actually engage as a collective. That should signal how the “Medemer Terror” has failed. The Drone wars and the use of lethal force, which haven’t created an environment of trust or building confidence between the citizens and the state. That’s where the Prime Minister Abiy has fallen and his now entrapping his own government.

This prolonged war and conflict between him and former allies. Only shows how fickle his play is. As these was weapon-brothers in the conflict in the Tigray region. Now his fighting them and continuing to lose. They are able to capture weapons and weakening the army itself. The ENDF doesn’t have the advantage, as the FANO knows the game and know the tactics of the state. They were weapon brothers and now the guns has turned against each other.

It just shows the sort of political gambits Abiy does and what sort of results his getting. The warlord is getting more wars. The warlord is getting more enemies and trying to fragment them into smaller entities. So that he can conquer them or get them into submission. However, with FANO that hasn’t worked and now they are starting to work together. That means they will get more powerful and also have better possibility to strike harder. This should worry Abiy and his allies, as they are now feeling the pinch in Amhara.

This is only the start of “Operation Unity”… we don’t know how it will end or what sort of end-game there is here. Nevertheless, the ENDF and Abiy should be aware or even rethink its strategies. As they can now be corned and outsmarted, if the FANO plays their cards right. That option wasn’t there before, but has now arrived.

Amhara region will burn, the ashes will loom and the destruction is upon it. The fights will be bloody and nothing will be left to chance. Especially, if Abiy and his fellow warlords put everything into play. They will go after anyone and they will kill. That’s what they do… and we have seen it already. The “Medemer Terror” is no joke. It is merciless and without any remorse.

So, don’t expect this to be peaceful or a narrow journey. No, this will be rocky and be dangerous. Peace.

Opinion: Blame Canada, Blame Canada… [Oh no, no wait, blame Trump!]

We don’t need anything from Canada, and yet it costs up $200b in subsidy to keep Canada afloat. So when I say they should be a state, I mean that. I really mean that … some people don’t have the cards” – President Donald J. Trump (21.03.2025),

The old man, the reality star, the felon and the crook, the inflated ego and the man without any principle whatsoever, the American President Donald J. Trump. The Republican stooge and Manchurian Candidate, the corrupt and incompetent Commander-in-Chief. That man is waging war against the closest ally and neighbour, Canada.

Today isn’t the first or the last day. Since the start of the second term of Trump. He has been going on that the Canadians should become a part of the United States of America, and become a state. Just like that. He can takeover vast territories and they are just nodding along. The President just wants a sovereign and make it his dominion. That’s the gist of it and building an empire under his name.

The Canadians don’t want this and why should they? So they get an unofficial monarch and a head of state, that believes his words are law. A man who is believing his the only one above the law and that in his actions in office can get away with anything. There is no bounds to this man. He can be as vile and scrupulous as possible.

The U.S. under Trump isn’t a hegemony but a running bazaar of craziness, lawlessness and misuse of power. The blatant disregard for the laws, stipulated articles and whatnot is so evident. As the Trump administration destroys institution after institution, department after department and depletes government completely. Just so the billionaires can become trillionaires. That seems to be the end game here and poor will suffer even more. As long as the rich get richer and that’s the beauty of it all.

It is just so fascist and such close-minded imperialism to think you have the power and ability to annex your neighbour. That’s the talk of Trump. He think he has the power and the army to take down Canada. The man in the White House thinks he can just muffle and outsmart Canadians. That’s what he thinks he can do and that they don’t have anything to say against it. Surely, the trade-war is only the beginning, but the damage will be felt.

The heartland, the red states and the tourism spots will feel the pinch. The Canadian stoppage of tourists and buying U.S. Goods will inflict damage on the U.S. Economy. So, Trump speaking about having the cards. His ensuring the Canadians are spending their hard earned cash on products and services elsewhere. They are not travelling to Miami or California anytime soon. Neither are they buying American Bourbon or Jack Daniels. No, they are buying Canadian and making deals with European companies instead. Therefore, the U.S. is losing and the Canadians doesn’t trust the U.S. anymore either.

Because who comes with these threats on the regular? Who is the enemy of Canada? It got to be Trump and his regime. The Trump Administration are eyeing the Canadian territories and wants it in addition to what it already has. It wants the whole of the North American hemisphere and this is why his also eyeing Greenland. Just to finish the trifecta of territories, but that is yet again another attack on the Danish and the Kingdom of Denmark. Another supposed ally of the USA.

Trump cannot have friends, unless they are fellow dictators with the same naked vision of supremacy. That’s why he rather be friendly to Putin than to Trudeau or anyone else. No, Trump wants a submissive and a underling in Canada. That’s why he doesn’t want Canada as a sovereign. No, he wants them to bow to his glory like MAGA is doing to him right now. This is his “Anschluss”. That’s just crazy to say, but it is obvious.

This is why Canada has to be united and ready. This is warmongering and fear-mongering. A President normalizing the possibility of annexing and taking over a nation. That’s what Trump is doing and it isn’t even subtle. Just blatant and direct about.

Trump doesn’t have the cards and only has hubris. He wouldn’t be ready and if he did act on his words. The ramifications and the possible trouble ahead would be enormous. The President isn’t prepared for that and neither is his lackeys. They are all just awaiting their turn with their master and being in his good graces. That’s why they are there.

Canadians better be awake and be ready, because this will be a long Presidential Term under President Trump. He is just getting started and there will be troubling times ahead. I wish it wasn’t so, but Trump is blaming Canada. Something he won’t stop doing. Peace.

Sudan: SAF having a momentum in the conflict [The Presidential Palace returned to the SAF]

“In an eternal heroic epic, our forces today crowned their successes on the Khartoum fronts by crushing the remnants of the Dagalo terrorist militia in the areas of central Khartoum, the Arab Market, the buildings of the Republican Palace (a symbol of the sovereignty and dignity of the Sudanese nation), and the ministry buildings. With God’s grace and support, our forces completely destroyed enemy personnel and equipment and seized large quantities of their weapons and equipment in the mentioned areas” (Sudanese Armed Forces, 21.03.2025).

Today, the Presidential Palace was captured by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The war continues, but SAF has a visible momentum not only in Khartoum, but elsewhere in Sudan too.

The SAF is advancing elsewhere too and there are reports of such. This is just showing the signs and the strength of the SAF at the moment. That is a victory and a possible relief for Al-Burhan. However, Hemeti is far from over and this must be hold.

The victory today is important and gives the SAF a momentum. It shows they are able and getting important sites in the Republic. The Sudanese state is hurting, the people are struggling and living in plight. There isn’t a short stop or a possibility to stop the conflict, which lives on.

The Sudanese people are still caught between the SAF and RSF. Two Generals fighting for legitimacy and ability to rule supreme. They are fighting to be running the nation and doesn’t mind the bloodshed to do so. That’s why they are continuing to fight and sealed the fate of the nation by doing so.

This war is far from over. The conflict between SAF and RSF will persist. The usage of force and unarmed civilians caught in between them. We will see and hear reports of atrocities from both parties. There are internally displaced people created by it too. Reports of famine and starvation too, as this continuing on the third year. The deaths will continue and we should not forget that fact.

The victory today is important for the SAF. However, will this stop the RSF? I don’t think so, but it shows they are weaker and have to retreat. Hemeti will try to galvanize his troops, but we know the SAF can possible advance further too. Peace.
