Abiy's government and the regional one run by the Tigray People's Liberation Front each consider the other illegitimate.
\t There was no immediate word from the three AU envoys, former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former Mozambique President Joaquim Chissano and former South African President Kgalema Motlanthe. AU spokeswoman Ebba Kalondo did not say whether they can meet with TPLF leaders, something Abiy's office has rejected.
\"``Not possible,'' senior Ethiopian official Redwan Hussein said in a message to the AP. ``\"Above all, TPLF leadership is still at large.'' He called reports that the TPLF had appointed an envoy to discuss an immediate cease-fire with the international community ``masquerading.''
\t Fighting reportedly remained well outside the Tigray capital of Mekele, a densely populated city of a half-million people who have been warned by the Ethiopian government that they will be shown ``no mercy'' if they don't distance themselves from the region's leaders.
\t Tigray has been almost entirely cut off from the outside world since Nov. 4, when Abiy announced a military offensive in response to a TPLF attack on a federal army base.
That makes it difficult to verify claims about the fighting, but humanitarians have said at least hundreds of people have been killed.
\t The fighting threatens to destabilize Ethiopia, which has been described as the linchpin of the strategic Horn of Africa.
\t With transport links cut, food and other supplies are running out in Tigray, home to 6 million people, and the United Nations has asked for immediate and unimpeded access for aid.

The World Bank Group approved today a US$500 million program to help countries in Africa and the Middle East fight the locust swarms that are threatening the food security and livelihoods of millions of people.
The Emergency Locust Response Program (ELRP), approved today by the World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors, will focus on providing immediate assistance to help poor and vulnerable farmers, herders, and rural households overcome one of the worst locust upsurges in decades.
ELRP will provide immediate support to affected households through targeted social safety nets like cash transfers, while investing in the medium-term recovery of agriculture and livestock production systems and rural livelihoods in affected countries.
“Locust swarms present a double crisis for countries that are also battling the COVID-19 pandemic,” said World Bank Group President David Malpass.
The World Bank has estimated that, without broad-scale, coordinated control measures to reduce locust populations and prevent their spread to new areas, potential damages and losses to crop and livestock production and related assets in the greater Horn of Africa, including Yemen, could reach as high as US$8.5 billion by the end of this year.
Papa Wemba
Congolese singer
Papa Wemba (Jules Shungu Wembadio Pene Kikumba), (born June 14, 1949, Lubefu, Kasai region, Belgian Congo [now Democratic Republic of the Congo]—died April 24, 2016, Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire), Congolese singer who earned the sobriquet “king of rumba rock” for his expertise in Congolese rumba, a form of dance music that combines indigenous traditional songs with Afro-Cuban rumba rhythms. Papa Wemba’s onstage exuberance and distinctive falsetto tenor voice helped to spread the popularity of African “world music,” notably soukous dance music, a blend of African rhythms, Cuban beats, and international pop that evolved from the Congolese rumba. He also served as a fashion icon for his fans, known as sapeurs (part of a movement called “La Sape” from the phrase La Société des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Élégantes; Eng. trans., The Society of Ambience-Makers and Elegant People), who emulated his passion for flashy, dandified Western designer clothes. Papa Wemba’s mother was a pleureuse (a professional funeral dirge singer). He joined the Roman Catholic Church after the death of his father, a chief of customs, and began singing in the church choir. In 1969 he joined the newly founded soukous band Zaiko Langa Langa, and in 1977 he formed his own spin-off band, Viva la Musica, with which he recorded (in both French and Lingala) and toured extensively. He later lived in Paris, toured with such European talent as British musician Peter Gabriel, and recorded (notably the 1995 album Emotion) with Gabriel’s Real World label. In 2003 Papa Wemba was arrested in France and briefly imprisoned for smuggling African refugees into Europe disguised as musicians.

It's time to wake up and think for yourself. Man was made in God's image, not in the image of Elijah Muhammad, Louis Farrakhan, the Pope, T.D. Jakes, Creflo Dollar or any other man. Neither God nor Christ nor Muhammad nor Abraham nor Moses walked around as a copy of a man in a bowtie and selling bean pies while God got rich and the followers had to rely on the government for help. And if you believe that Elijah Muhammad is on the \"mother plane\" orbiting the Earth until his return, go ahead. But if you love the African American people, do not brainwash them for your agenda nor deceive them nor conform them into your image. I my analysis, if I were a Muslim, I would have to go with Malcolm X.
