CNN: Armed groups join forces in Ethiopia in biggest threat yet to embattled Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed
(CNN)Armed groups fighting Ethiopia's central government are swelling in numbers as they advance on the capital Addis Ababa, posing the biggest threat to embattled Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's rule since a bloody year-long conflict began in the country's northern Tigray region a year ago.
Nine groups opposing the government -- a broad coalition of armed groups and political actors representing different regional and ethnic interests -- formed a new alliance on Friday "in response to the scores of crises facing the country" and to fight against the "genocidal regime of Ethiopia," according to a statement issued by organizers.

Let's see, the coalition of rebels is fighting against the "genocidal regime of Ethiopia," led by the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, Abiy Ahmed. Great call Nobel Prize Committee! This illustrates the Nobel Peace Prize is now just some leftist bullshit award which goes to unworthy recipients (such as Barrack Obama for another bad example).
Bay-rack winning this "award" was the eye opening final blow to the Nobel Prize for me.
