Irish Times/New York Times: Foreign drones tip the balance in Ethiopia’s civil war
Prime minister Abiy Ahmed engineers reversal of fortunes with help of Persian Gulf allies After Ethiopia’s embattled prime minister pulled off a stunning military victory earlier this month, reversing a rebel march on the capital that threatened to overthrow him, he credited the bravery of his troops.
“Ethiopia is proud of your unbelievable heroism,” the jubilant leader, Abiy Ahmed, told his troops on the battlefront at Kombolcha on December 6th. “You were our confidence when we said Ethiopia would never lose.”
In reality, the reason for the reversal in Abiy’s fortunes was hovering in the skies above: a fleet of combat drones, recently acquired from allies in the Persian Gulf region and elsewhere who are determined to keep him in power.
Over the past four months, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and Iran have quietly supplied Abiy with some of the latest armed drones, even as the United States and African governments were urging a ceasefire and peace talks, according to two Western diplomats who have been briefed on the crisis and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize Prime minister Abiy Ahmed succeeds at war fighting! He was awarded the prize so Donald Trump, who deserved it, was bypassed. The Nobel Committee are a bunch of globalists using their award platform to jerk themselves off and those who believe in their pablum, which in truth is not worth the paper it is printed on.
You DO realize it is the globalists who armed and instigated the Tigray attack on Ethiopia, right?
So United Arab Emirates, Turkey and Iran are changing the course on the cheap and Sexetary of State Blinky has even cheaper talk.
Was thinking the same thing WNU. Probably others too, and more to come.
