Ethiopia: Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) – Ethiopia Has Abandoned the 2018 Peace Agreement with ONLF (01.03.2025)








Umaro Sissoco Embaló was officially without a mandate on the 27th February 2025. The last term of the President began on the 27th February 2020 and his term is up. There been no Presidential Elections or polls for that matter.
We already know that the President doesn’t want a “crook” to takeover from him. However, that doesn’t imply that he holds on to the instruments of the state and the office itself. It is for the citizens of the Republic to decide if they want to keep him there or elect someone else.
It is really something else when the Republic itself is scheduling Presidential Elections in November 2025. When the President and the State itself know the mandate or the Term has already ended. It is giving the President more months to be in office and use the powers of the office he resides in.
This is also really something knowing how Embalo was claiming his predecessor Vaz had a “coup d’etat” and planned for his loss in the 2019 elections. As the PAIGC versus the Madem G15 went head to head in two rounds before it was settled. The incumbent party PAIGC bowed out and let their candidate Domingos Simões Pereira accept the defeat.
Embaló is now pushing to overstay in office, as he hasn’t a successor or any sort of “Plan B”. No, there is no proof of what he wants. We can only see that his a vagabond and using the office for questionable profiteering. The administration of the President is known for being a hub for drug trafficking and other criminal conspiracy. That’s what the Osvaldo Vieira International Airport has become synonymous with.
We are now seeing a heist of a nation from a man that was supposed to change the nation. Alas, he takes the nation for granted and willing to risk the stability of the Republic while doing so. We should expect human rights violations and up-right oppression in the name of the President. A Head of State that is living on others people’s borrowed time.
The President should know his time and hour. The handlers and state apparatus can claim he started his term late, but there is documentation of him starting in February 2020. Therefore, the President should do the noble thing, but we know that won’t happen.
The people of Guinea-Bissau deserves better than this. What sort of trickery is this? Who does the President think he is? Does he thinks all the civilians and the people are foolish? He think he can silence them all and keep them entertained with his foreign adventures? Seriously, is this who the President is? Peace.





“Trump Administration Announces 90% Cut to USAID Foreign Aid Contracts. The Trump administration has announced plans to eliminate more than 90% of the U.S. Agency for International Development’s foreign aid contracts and reduce overall U.S. assistance by $60 billion, signaling a major rollback of development and humanitarian aid worldwide” (The Sphere Report, 27.02.2025).
On the 5th February 2025 I said the USAID was dead. That was prematurely, as the USAID of today is broken, depleted and now on its actual deathbed. The USAID was for a moment saved by Court Orders, but these are set aside or not honoured by the State Department under Secretary Marco Rubio who just follows orders and has no terminated most of the USAID contracts. Which means the USAID operation is halted and stopped.
The USAID is now ceasing to be history. The one institution that did a good deed, also questionable things too, but the U.S. is just stopping it completely. The U.S. agency which did good and acted in good fate is now soon no more.
The Trump Administration is just proving what it can do and what it is willing to do. This will harm thousands of people. Not only the employees within the United States that rely on it and has been staff of USAID. No, USAID has also bought American produce and products to give away as aide to other nations. USAID has helped American businesses and industries, as these have been donated and given these products to the ones in need. Therefore, it has been a goodwill activity, but also on that has given benefits to Americans too. That’s a part of the equation the Republicans won’t care about or be concerned about either. As it doesn’t hit the elites, but the working class and possible farmers in rural areas.
USAID will cause harm for plenty. There will a massive shift, stoppage of imports of medicines, supply and equipment to health care and more harm to society in general. This is states that has been beneficiary of the USAID programs and these have been covering the shortcomings of these nations own Ministry of Health and other entities who are serving their public. The USAID had such vast and logistical operations that served the communities, the ones who fell sick and had medicines, which these citizens couldn’t afford and neither the nations themselves. Therefore, the USAID came in an hour of need and did something worth-while.
Now PREFAR and other programs are gone. The various UN organizations and other bilateral organizations will feel the pinch. As the funds and operational funding goes away over night. The grants and funds of USAID has been vital and there will be a lack of resources because of this. There will be NGOs, CSOs and the Multi-National Organizations who are damaged by this. The sort of organizations that has worked and done so on a mission to serve the ones in need. They have been there and covered for shortfalls of other nations. These are now left behind and that will be felt.
We are now seeing the Trump Administration are disconnecting itself from the world. The U.S. is taking away these billions to give tax-relief to their own billionaires and ultra-wealthy. These funds will feed the rich 1% of the USA and it was taken away from the ones who needed the most.
Let me end this with a fitting bible verse for the day. Peace.
“He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want” (Proverbs 22:16, King James Version).

“The White House has canceled a scheduled joint news conference with President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a senior official confirms. Trump asked Zelensky to leave the White House after a tense Oval Office meeting” (Natalie Allison, 28.02.2025).
Today’s sparing match between the President Zelensky, President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance it’s clear what is going on. United States of America isn’t a friend, an ally or a partner in the war against the aggressor, Russia. No, the U.S. Government interest lays elsewhere and they are not even concealing it.
“Putin broke the ceasefire. He killed our people. He did not exchange prisoners. We signed the exchange of prisoners, but he didn’t do it. What kind of diplomacy you are speaking about?” – President Zelensky said, as J.D. Vance retorted with: “I think it’s disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of them American media” – Vice President J.D. Vance.
Trump and Vance had a plan to ambush and humiliate Zelensky into a deal. They wanted to make him an offer he couldn’t refuse. As a way of getting minerals, instead of a honest agreement and arrangement as equal partners. They aren’t treating Ukraine or Zelensky as an ally. These two wouldn’t have ganged up on him and treated him in this manner. If Ukraine or Zelensky was seen as a friend or ally. No, they just wanted to use mob mentality and be the Corleone of the White House.
Whatever feelings that was there with Emmanuel Macron or Sir Keir Stramer wasn’t appeasing. Their visit to the White House wasn’t reflected today. As the President and Vice President was ready to show force and be directly trying to force Zelensky how to play. Because his fighting for his nation as a sovereign and has been doing so now for years. The war in Ukraine started before the invasion 3 years ago and the annexation of Crimea is even more than a decade ago now. So, Trump is clearly not caring about the Ukrainian concerns or plights in this.
The “deal” seems to be off the table. The U.S. would have the bargain and get the gold. Meanwhile, Ukraine would loose their assets and their resources as cost of it. They gave him an offer to either surrender to the gangster capitalists of Washington D.C. or continue the fight with other allies for sovereignty. Any sensible leader takes the latter, because why trade everything on a “deal” which isn’t guaranteed. The U.S. haven’t even fulfilled its pledges during Biden. It won’t be better, but most likely for the worse under Trump. There is no golden pot on the other side of the rainbow.
Trump and Vance only shows their sinister ploy and think they have all the power in the world. That people and nations doesn’t have agency of their own. Ukraine was a nation before and will continue to be so. However, the war will be prolonged and the fight against Russia will continue. As the aggressor and invader is still fighting along the front-lines.
We just know that Trump and Vance have betrayed Ukraine. The realignment was in the air when we saw the voting in the United Nations recently. As the U.S. voted together with Russia and their allies. That was telling really, a signal of where Washington D.C. is going. The Trump Administration isn’t far away from supporting Kremlin with arms. That’s how these sorts of folks are operating and willing to trade favours.
Trump seems confident in this and doesn’t mind. He thinks everyone is fools and his the most brilliant man alive. However, that isn’t the case. Europe and NATO allies have to wake up from their slumber. They have to adopt and move quickly. That’s if their borders and nations wants to be safe. Because Russia is expanding and wanting to do so. They are willing to wage war and doesn’t care about International Law. Just like U.S. won’t back Europe or be their ally. No, U.S. are aligning itself with Russia and that’s it. Peace.
