Getachew Reda’s dramatic shift—from accusing Abiy Ahmed of genocide in Tigray to serving within his administration and now failing to acknowledge his own words—exposes the moral decay embedded in Ethiopian politics.

Yet agency remains: integrity is never impossible, only costly. History will remember not the titles he held, but the truths he abandoned.
