The present analysis will identify and subsequently debunk the West’s top lies about Chinese-African relations. What comes next is a list of lies followed by the motive behind each. Then they’ll be discredited with the facts. By Andrew Korybko —  American political analyst Chinese-African relations are historically rooted through shared struggle, mutually beneficial, and the model of South-South cooperation. They represent the best practices of international relations. It’s precisely because of their pragmatism that the US is spreading lies about them. America hopes to cling to its fading unipolar hegemony by stirring up trouble in Chinese-African relations through information warfare in a desperate but inevitably doomed attempt to cling to its fading unipolar hegemony. Washington wrongly believes that it can turn the continent into a theater of rivalry in the New Cold War. The present analysis will identify and subsequently debunk the West’s top lies about Chinese-African re

EthiopianCitizen has published the full text of the interview that Andrew Korybko, an American political analyst, recently gave to Addis Media Network’s Meseret Tajebe, some excerpts of which were included in the latter’s video report titled “ የጠቅላይ ሚኒስትሩ መዝመታቸው የአሜሪካ ጫና አዲስ ሚዲያ ኔትወርክ ህዳር 23/2014 ዓ.ም ”. 1. Considering Prime Minister Abiy joining the front line in the war with TPLF. And the TPLF using its cadres and affiliated foreign forces to disseminate its propaganda internationally, how do you view the current (to date) political situation in Ethiopia? Where do you see the political scenario leading to? As it stands, military hostilities are intensifying because neither side wants to back down. Prime Minister Abiy’s decision to lead the war from the front line was very symbolic in showing that his government isn’t flinching in the face of Western pressure to politically compromise with the TPLF. Likewise, the TPLF’s continued fighting shows that it too isn’t going to compromise

Sudan literally cannot afford to militarily provoke Ethiopia even if Egypt partially bankrolls this campaign. This simple pragmatism might be the only thing stopping the scenario that was warned about in this analysis. Sudan’s false claims against Ethiopia over the weekend could have been a way of showing deference to its Egyptian patron even if Khartoum isn’t serious about attacking its neighbor like Cairo might want. By Andrew Korybko —  American political analyst   Sudan alleged over the weekend that the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) and its allies killed six of its soldiers during an attack in a disputed border region. Ethiopian government spokesman Legesse Tulu denied the claims the day after and clarified that “A large group of insurgents, bandits and terrorists had entered [from Sudan]. The Ethiopian National Defence Force and the local militia have destroyed them.” Khartoum’s information provocation occurred right around the time that the ENDF liberate

Ethiopia might suspect that the US has ulterior motives in threatening an uninvited military intervention into the country on the pretext of evacuating its citizens who thus far don’t even want to leave because they still feel safe in the capital.   By Andrew Korybko —  American political analyst     CNN reported on Tuesday that “The US military has positioned US special operations forces in Djibouti to be ready to provide assistance to the US Embassy in Ethiopia if the situation worsens, according to one military official and two sources familiar with the movements.” This comes after US State Department spokesman Ned Price denied last week that an Afghan-like evacuation was being considered despite not being prompted to compare the two. Associated Press reported Matt Lee then challenged Price as to why he’d even bring that up, which resulted in a tense exchange between them. There’s some more background context that the reader should be familiar with in order to understand h

To be clear, there’s no credible chance as of now that this fearmongering scenario will unfold, but it’s enough to point out that the US is basically telling its own people that their government’s TPLF terrorist allies might shoot them out of the sky if they don’t evacuate Ethiopia right away to realize how out of control this Hybrid War is getting.   By Andrew Korybko —  American political analyst     The author warned at the start of the month for everyone to “Expect An Intensification Of Information Warfare Against Ethiopia” , which is exactly what ended up happening. After that country’s democratically elected and internationally recognized government refused to capitulate to the US’ demand to treat the terrorist-designated Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) as its political equal, Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa Jeffrey Feltman spent a full hour implying a list of threats against Ethiopia. This was then followed by the US calling upon its citizens to evacuate

Provoking panic among foreigners in Addis is the US’ primary Hybrid War means at the moment towards advancing the end of the TPLF returning to power even if only in part. By Andrew Korybko —  American political analyst     The Ethiopian Ambassador to the US spoke to Russia’s Sputnik about Washington’s call for American citizens to evacuate from that Horn of Africa country. According to His Excellency Fitsum Arega: “Addis Ababa is safe and secure as always. There is no need for alarm. People are living their normal lives. It makes no sense to urge 'evacuations.' What we have seen in other part of the world with people clambering to hold onto planes to make an escape recently is far from occurring in Ethiopia…Commercial plane seats are always available but no one is rushing to leave, but the US government trying to convince by every means possible including paying for their airfare but no takers…The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has made a presentation to the diplomatic c

Feltman didn’t come to Ethiopia to mediate peace, he came to deliver an ultimatum threatening a 20-year proxy war if his hosts don’t immediately surrender. By Andrew Korybko —  American political analyst     US Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa Jeffrey Feltman released an extended and very manipulative statement ahead of his visit to the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa. This American official intended to set the narrative that his country’s Mainstream Media (MSM) proxies should follow for intensifying their information warfare against that country. The US’ Hybrid War on Ethiopia threatens to get worse since there aren’t any signs that this victimized state will bend to the aggressor’s pressure as hinted at in Feltman’s statement. It’s therefore worthwhile to analyze exactly what he said in order to expose the means through which his country is expected to intensify its Hybrid War campaign. What comes next is a collection of quotes from Feltman’s statement followed by
