    The Policy of Lying: How Power Is Sustained by Fabrication

    By Elemoo Qilxuu (MA, Political Science) and Roobaa Hawaas (MA, Psychology) Posted on2026-02-062026-02-05

    Ethiopia has crossed a moral and political threshold. Lying is no longer an occasional deviation but a governing method. From the fabricated pretext of the Tigray war to the attempted rewriting of Eritrea’s role—publicly rebutted by Gedu Andargachew—the pattern is unmistakable.

This is not political spin; it is rule by fabrication.

Not a follow-up. Not even a passing reference.

    What Is Humanity If Even the Faarseebulaas Mock the Truth?

    By Kumaa Daadhii Posted on2025-06-292025-06-29

    Empires and regimes fall. Tyrants vanish. And when the reckoning comes, Betelhem Tafese and the Faarseebulaas will face the truth they mocked. Will they eat back the contemptuous lies they vomit today against the truth-tellers, freedom fighters, and human rights activists? No regime built on deception, gaslighting, and blood can last — especially one that feeds starving people fairy tales and street-light shows.
