Now Abiy Ahmed is working to restore health; but US presses E to end Tigray violence. Blinkin [demanded]: “A growing number of credible repost of atrocities”   -- and to withdraw troops from Tigray. This is a rewrite of Clinton’s approach the problem-solving in the Balkans:  massive amts of money going into basically[a belligerent oubliette]. Clinton bought the story and many people became filthy rich.  Here, Blinken is supporting a Marxist former govt (TPLF), a secessionist group that engaged in genocide for thirty years; Obama administration doubled down; people backing TPLF now are getting all their info from TPLF, blaming the victims of the crimes.   I saw massive numbers of Serbs who were killed by Croats; the photos were labelled the opposite: “Croats killed by Serbs.”   TPLF is engaging in genocide against the Amhara, attributing these acts to the Amhara.   Egypt is funding this.   The TPLF is defeated in Tigray, but paying for a huge PR campaign in Washington.   Look where Blinken’s allies got it wrong in the Balkans; and where they’re getting their info now.   Egypt is also driving Sudan to attack Ethiopia because it claims a major water deficit, blaming it on Ethiopia, source of the Blue Nile. Reality is that Egypt put in the massive Aswan High Dam, with a huge lake, which Egypt could easily release to fill any claimed deficits.   Ethiopia is building the Grand Renaissance Dam, which isn’t taking any water from Egypt.   Egypt’s position is entirely contrary to intl law.   Sudanese military, trying to get back in power, is working with (and taking money from) Egypt. Big deal with Russia in desalination. Egypt has its own water mismanagement problems, trying to blame them on someone else. It may go to war with Ethiopia.  If Egypt wants to prosper, it has to strike a real deal on water, and rethink how it manages the flow of water and topsoil.   Why is the new Secretary of State wading in to this? Clearly, something else is at stake.  https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2021/02/27/soldiers-have-killed-hundreds-of-civilians-in-tigray   https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ethiopia-conflict-usa-idUSKCN2AU225
