    .@PaulKagame will tell you he can smell the stench of this vitriol all the way from Rwanda. Coming from a top advisor of PM Abiy, this’s as disheartening as it’s alarming, but it’s a pattern that only went downward since the day “daytime hyena” was platformed with cheer. #SayNo!

    Remember this the next time someone talks about “the Russian point of view on Ukraine”, suggests that Ukraine should be prepared to “compromise” with Moscow or questions humanitarian, military and financial assistance for Ukraine. It is a moral obligation to #StandWithUkraine

    Meanwhile on Russia's state-funded RT, director of broadcasting Anton Krasovsky suggests drowning or burning Ukrainian children, makes hideous comments about the rapes by Russian soldiers in Ukraine, says Ukraine should not exist and Ukrainians who resist Russia should be shot.

    “Neven Crvenkovic, a spokesperson for the United Nations’ refugee agency in Ethiopia, said his and other UN agencies have “received very concerning reports of new waves of displacement from western Tigray.”

    Fresh armed raids in Ethiopia’s northwest are filling camps. Thousands of males, aged 15 to 50, are held in makeshift detention centers in western Tigray, while trucks carrying Tigrayans, mostly women, children and the elderly, continue to be deported. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

    Fantastic to be a witness to the Ethiopian people's massive outpouring of support for continued political and economic reforms at today's meeting at Meskel Square. The cowardly attempt on PM Abiy's life will not change anything.

    Greetings Minister of Tourism @Vkikilias - had a long Sunday morning swim in #Vouliagmeni - working in Athens and having beaches & sea just a few minutes away is an amazing privilege. Let’s work together to get more Swedish tourists to Greece & more Greek tourists to Sweden!

    Replying to @USEmbassyAddis
    Condolences - this is shameful: “a staff member of USAID partner was killed April 28, Tigray reportedly by Eritrean & Ethiopian soldiers. According to eyewitnesses, he clearly identified himself as humanitarian worker & pleaded 4 his life before he was killed by military actors”

    Back to Delphi and the Temple of Apollo. One of my absolute favourite spots in Greece. And I don’t need the Pythia (the oracle) to know that I will return.
