The U.S. and EU have accused Ethiopia of every atrocity imaginable and now they’re preparing sanctions. The Ethiopian government insists that it’s legitimately fighting a separatist group, the formerly ruling TPLF, which is attempting to regain power through violence and terrorism.
Who’s telling the truth? What explains the one-sided media coverage? How do Eritrea and Sudan fit into it all? What’s driving Washington’s destabilizing policies in the Horn of Africa, which have alienated a longtime U.S. ally?
To help cut through the fog of war, Rania Khalek was joined by Eugene Puryear, a journalist for Breakthrough News and host of The Punch Out podcast.

I'm born n raised up in Tigray region. Thank you BTN for the truth information about the terrorist tplf groups . Wether tplf like it or not Ethiopia/Ethiopians 🇪🇹 prevail (it's a matter of time.)
God bless you guys🙏
We ethiopians will thank you for telling the Truth !!!
We can’t thank the BT crew enough. The whole world has ignored Ethiopia’s plea. The world wants us to welcome a regime that had committed numerous genocides and other atrocities for 27 years. I hope other developing nations learn from us. Established facts and the God honest truth won’t get you far. Don’t let the developed nations tell you that you have their support. If you can afford to hire expensive lobbyists, you will be allowed to create your own “alternate facts”. You guys are doing more than the US and the European leaders have done.
thank you!
Absolutely right.
U are modern mililik, we Ethiopians pass that
Honest & Truthful! Thank you on behalf of over a hundred million Ethiopians.
The United nations, the United states of America, Europe & Egypt have declared war on Ethiopia
. Rastafari Stands Alone!!!
You guys give me hope journalism will be like this one day: based on critical thinking instead of catchy headlines, sensationalized narratives and manufactured stories.
This prop propriety party propaganda
These two individuals are a breath of fresh air on many fronts. Their level of knowledge on the subject matter is amazing. I am witnessing the highest form of quality journalism based on truth and deep understanding. Well done Rania & Eugene - I have subscribed to your channel.
I'm so happy to watch your channel and at the same time i feel so sad because honest journalism is becoming very rare thing! Thank you BT and Eugene for your integrity, objectivity and professionalism
Eugene is so knowledgable and articulate... Is anybody else offering counternarratives to this? I swear I saw a total propaganda job on Al Jazeera recently...
Please don't mention those liars!
Bro the revolution al-Jazeera started and fearless coverage and bravery they demonstrated, challenged at least better than anyone else, made them rethink some of their own coverage and as a result for the first time we started seeing some gruesome pics coming outta Iraq n other places.. then the Zionist lobby goes to work.. in order to compromise a globally acknowledged network they had such quick extension, they had to put a blockade on the whole Qatar just to compromise al- Jazeera! And they succeeded! What a shame! Who is gonna create documentary like the Lobby? Who is gonna give an accurate pics of the battlefield like they did in Iraq? It is a shame indeed!
@@sajibanas1077 Al-Jazeera like everthing Arabs do cut and paste. Went and hired same Western media people but the script is still the same! I can't tell the difference between CNN and Al-Jazeera. I don't know about the Arabic section! They should stop broadcasting in English! Please stop your anti-semitic paranoia!
Feltman had well established relationship with TPLF. He attended Meles Zenawi’s funeral.
He is the messenger of satan
We need more journalists like them who are very knowledgable and know what they are talking about.
A Must Watch For All The International Community.
Mr. Eguen is well informed and knowledgeable. As an Ethiopian I have never seen a foreign journalist like him who understood the political dynamics and the developing situation in horn of Africa
No his not, his dull as stone.
You guys are the gold standard of journalism. Your moral and knowledge integrity will live forever along side of history.
Thank you for being the voice for voiceless innocent Ethiopians. I love your careful analysis of what is going on in Ethiopia. Hats off to both of you!
English fails me to show how much I love you two. Thanks comrades ❤
Eugene, you are a son of a gun. You have done your research to support all facts on the ground and nailed it with perfectly un baised conclusion. God bless you!!
Thank you BT for being our Voce 🇪🇹💚💛❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you BT for being our VOICE 💚💛❤️🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
It is nice to see you again. Thank you for exposing evil deed of dangerous rebel group/TPLF.
It is so great to have someone like you guy's understand the situation in Ethiopia and explaining it the reality with out taking a side for more transparency I really in courage you even to invite to your program to CBS journalist Hermaila Aregawi that who got bombarded by so many intimidation from T.P.L.F supporters so please bring her to your program thanks.
Pls Eugene pls teach CNN and BBC news and alot of western media how to do journalism cause u Definitely know what is going on in ethiopia thank u 🙏😉
This guys heal me and give me hope .
Please lets support this truthful Media grow.
Thanks from Eritrea 🇪🇷
What is happening to the UN whistle blowers in Ethiopia and the truth of UN complicity in falsely blaming the Ethiopian government is atrocious !
You should be awarded the media award for journalism with integrity and telling the truth as it is
True friend of Ethiopia god Bless you both
God*
Amen
This is what journalism should be. Thank you 🙏
Sup
Thanks to VOICE too VOICELESS
Thank you 🙏. You guys really put the mainstream media journalists into SHAME. Eugene, your knowledge about the geographical strategy of the Horn of Africa is not something you learned in any of the best colleges in the US. You are so captivating and enjoyed your analysis. Keep up the good job and would support you for reporting the TRUTH. Thanks again.
Flawless. Thank you Eugene, you did your homework as always. Kudos to Rania for not interrupting, a rarity these days. Many need to learn from Rania a thing or two.
Eugene, you are the best , professional ;
amazing analysis based on the facts .
Thanks 🙏
BT journalists are the jewel of journalism!!
I can’t believe how they are dissecting every issue from the beginning of the war when TPLF started the offensive until now when they are playing the man made famine and the westerners clapping for them. I wish BT could cover frequent developments regarding the Tigray war because it seems they are the only ones giving facts and balanced reporting and analysis of the situation.
Thank you, for understanding what the majority of ethiopian peoples have been crying about the last 27+ years.
100%agreed!
Breakthrough news 🇪🇹 eyes 👀 and ears of ethiopia 🇪🇹🇪🇹 🇪🇹 🇪🇹
While MSM is busy doing the liberal west's bidding, it has fallen on the likes of you to speak the truth. Great work and may God bless you.
One has to go back >30 years to render full context on this one; and an independent perspective of course.
Great Job Eugene.
I'm really glad to hear the truth of what's really happening in the country,
This is the most logical analysis of the current situation of the war so far. Thank you, BT!
Thank you, thank you and thank you for your reporting and analysis. I’m one of the many Ethiopians who deeply appreciate your work. I’ll gladly support your work.
The narrative here is certainly more credible then what one can get from the mainstream media. Well done Breakthrough News.
Thanks to both of you. It’s nice to see a balanced report
Thank you for your balanced report.Eritrea did not receive, food aid, but has sustainable agriculture.
You both mean a lot for the Ethiopian people. You're doing your job. Good job!!! Really you give me hope that truth never hidden by unethical medias. Rania and Eugene thank you for telling the world Ethiopian truth. God bless you two.❤🇨🇬
Eugene's knowledge of Africa is impressive af. Great job as always!
Simply put, this is journalism at its best! Keep up the excellent work team BT.
Thank you for doggedly covering this story - the propaganda is actually thick, even some leftists are out here misleading folks about what’s really going on there and if it wasn’t for you guys who knows what I would think about this issue! Thank you for helping clarify the history of this severely misunderstood region.
One of the very small almost extinct journalists elites that makes our MSM a hypocritical hysterical comic relief stop between surfing the remote.. much love and respect for you both! Absolutely on point!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. The analysis here is infinitely more nuanced, data-rich and fair. If there were just a dozen journalists in the so-called mainstream media with the same intellectual integrity and journalistic courage as Rania and Eugene, this and countless other issues would be covered in a way that made the problem somewhat easier to understand and deal with.
Lol. They support one side and say little to nothing about the atrocities on the other side. ‘Infinitely more nuanced’?
They act exactly like elitist hustlers of ethnic conflict in Ethiopia. ‘The other side is evil. My side is engaged in a righteous struggle for ‘freedom’
Thankyou for telling the TRUTH !!! Respect for Eugene and Rania , i see Professional excellence in both of you ! This is how political analysts should analyze the situation based on fact not interest. Shame on westerns and their media bbc ,cnn , USAID.. for taking one side without understanding the situation on the ground or purposely doing that. You two deserve the Nobel prize for your work!!
I've always been interested in what goes on around the world but I couldn't find any reliable source before now. Nobody gives world news / foreign policy / etc. the way you guys do. I am sooooo thankful I've found your channel. Great video !!
Great discussion by a man who has done his homework. Shame on the CNN, BBC, etc who have no understanding of the complex issue
Those news corporations you are referring are open for sale. If you pay via lobbyists, you can put any thing in thier mouth.
The most fair, unbiased and logical explanation ever. I have shared it with many many people
I am so thankful for you guys! Honest journalism and knowledgeable! As an Ethiopian who has family in the country & I have been schocked at all the lies TPLF has been putting out & how the West is at its side all along! Thank you!
This is how you reveal the truth! Great analysis!
Amazed how knowledgeable and honest the guy is. As Eritrean, seeing someone explaining the situation right gives me hope. Just for your info, we have one of the worst dictators you can ever possibly think off. But I can say that we have perfect foreign policy.
Thank you you guys for being our voice..
and both of you are speaking the truth ..God bless you 🙏
Puryear and Rania, thank you for speaking the truth. God said "only the truth sets you free", and you are free, genuine, strong journalists. You deserve a divine respect. For you found out the truth and you speak the truth, you are dignified, beloved in the face of God and respected in the midst of humanity. The truth prevails. Since the beginning of the war, Eugene Puryear and Rania Khalek exposed the truth, and only the truth that they are the phenomena in mainstream western media where truth is shunned aside for other purposes. They are the army of God; and the protector of humanity who suffers injustice. We deeply respect you and love you so much. You are the crown heirs to the kingdom of Truth!!!🙏🙏🙏
02:50 a historical moment when EPLF🇪🇷 escorted TPLF with their tanks to Addis Abeba in 1991 and brought them to power before they stabbed us in the back.
I would like to take them back as brought to us for free even pay Eritrean people
Tell this fairly tale to your mom Shabia will be destroyed sooner or later Make no mistakes !

@@KunaVenue hassebesh or hassebesh algebagm? As I know Eritreans are jegnoch so no one is paying not Tplf or Ethiopia u better correct ur statement.
Great analysis Eugene. Please do a segment on Sudan...the situation there is disastrous!!
Rania you have done a remarkable work inviting Eugene. Having done his homework effectively, his critical analysis was educational and reveals the reality in Ethiopia. He understood and were able to express the complex issue with professional integrity and knowledge. You guys are amazing individuals who stood for the truth and able to bring it to the world. I hope CNN, BBC and others will learn from you and report the truth and stand for justice. Thank you again and again Rania and Eugene.
You guys are the best!!! Thank you! 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
I see a story on Africa and Eugene's name I just click play. I am that serious.
Thank you for your reality show. No one will tell you how you are real than some one who has heard the blasts blown; who has seen the smokes formed from the blasts ; and who has been treating the injured ones. Don't hesitate to do so because you are with the truth.
Please elucidate.
This is happening because of the three TPLF saviors Antony J. Blinken, Susan Rice, Samantha Power and their ego's
Especially the evil behind running their Govt. War is money for them n also to depopulate the world's population from 7 billion to 500,000,000. Georgia Guidestone.
Literally these liberals see themselves as god I think Samantha thought we’d buckle and is taking it personally
Thanks Brother and sis 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🙏🙏💪🏾💪🏾
Wow Rania and Eugene, thank you very much ! you are a great journalist who stands with the truth!
Eugene is the expert about Ethiopia. Thanks Eugene
10Q Eugen & Rania for reveling the truth!!!
Great questions and excellent explanations to the current and source issue of the crises in Ethiopia. Thank you for both of you. I can not understand why Eugen is NOT invited to all these idiotic news outlets as an expert. Instead we are stuck with Davison, DeWaal and Plaut als the only experts of that Region, serving the interests of the west and telling lies shamelessly on Ethiopia.
Thank you both of you again. I subscribed immediately!
ja you right , but dont forget also the white junta Norwegian kjetil tronvoll (kjetil is read as ¨shetil¨ in Norwegian language)
Oh yes absolutely. He actually passes as an actual Junta no more as European junta
Thanks good people we are listening
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Using humanitarian crisis as a weapon of war thank you!!! big love from Ethiopia!!!
Thank You BT for being a our voice🙏🙏🙏 you are amazing!!!

Very thorough analysis. Thank you!
Excellent journalism supported with facts and evidence presented.
Thank you 🙏
Thank Rania and Eugene for the in depth analysis, I really enjoyed listening the whole discussion
Ethiopian government should listen to this
I highly appreciate what this channel is doing in trying to clear away the biased media coverage about this region and I would like to add a slight correction at 7:22 the map shows Tigray bordering Sudan which is wrong that region was not considered historically within the territory of Tigray the Tplf took it by force to help them to smuggle weapons during their guerrilla days and much of the population were forced in exile or killed because many denounced the forceful annexation of it, currently the region is in the process of being returned but the US government wants it to remain as part of Tigray due to its importance as a weapon smuggling corridor.
Well analysis....
Truthful...and facts 💯 👏
it gives us hope to see ,not everyone is riding HERD MORALITY thank you for fighting to keep the TRUTH stay lighted .
best of best media god bless you guys
You guys keep talking the truth GBU
Thank you for standing for the truth!
