On May 5, 2024, I was in Ethiopia taking a city tour of the ancient outskirts of Addis Ababa. I was having a grand old time. Here are some pictures to prove it.
Sometime during the day, in the course of exploring the palace of Emperor Menelik II, I happened across a discussion on Twitter/X/Whateverthehelltheycallitnow about the potential scenario of the Nigerian government approving the location of a U.S. military base on Nigerian soil. I waded into the conversation with a post which basically said, “Hell no.”
On May 15, Purity Mwambia, a Kenyan journalist who works for the Voice Of America’s fact-checking spinoff, Polygraph.info published a “fact-check” which described my tweet as “misleading.”
Naturally, I had to respond.
