… while it ranks 6^th in Food Security Risk Index

By Zelalem F. Tekabe

food_security It is stated by the current government that Ethiopia will be food self sufficient in the coming five years time which still is part of empty propaganda illustrating a strategic shift of attention. This is not new for Ethiopians who have been told excessive lies in the lifespan of the TPLF led government. These ruthless leaders are living at the cost of the hungry Ethiopians and do not feel ashamed of their repeated lies. A report by maplecroft

Weyane has announced that it has closed its embassy in Sweden and is going to open an embassy in Brazil.

Ethiopia had opened an embassy in Brazil (Ambassador Dej. Girmachew W/Hawariat) immediately after independence in 1941. It has also opened embassies in Venezuela (ambassador: Ato Gashaw Zeleke) and Mexico, (Lij Menbere Yayehrad), and Haiti. The Emperor chose Brazil because it has the largest population of black people outside the continent of Africa. The black people have changed the name of their largest newspaper in Brazil to MENELIK after the valiant Menelik has vanquished the Italians at the battle of Adwa. Haiti is the first black republic in the world having defeated the army of the mighty Napoleon Bonaparte. The embassies of Brazil and Venezuela were closed due to lack of funds and that of Haiti was closed by the Derg for similar reasons. The Derg also closed Ethiopian Embassies to the Vatican and Jordan.
