Speaker 1

Hold up, hold up the Football Alert show. It's the kid Ferrari Simmons. I have your favorite Ethiopian sol La La La La La la La. You know it's half produced by me O c T what they do baby. Thanksgiving, y'all Thanksgiving. I hope you guys have been talking about your dinner men news because I have, and I am excited to not actually eat thanks Gonna because I don't think we're gonna have a big Thanksgiving things this year, So you're not excited to eat because it's not going

to be big. Yeah. We it's Tuesday, uh and Thanksgivings on Thursday, and we haven't discussed um anything. So you know what, guys, I'm just gonna chalk it up as we're probably gonna do something light, keep the smooth, you know, no social distancing, and we kind of staying apart from people. So we're probably just keeping a small Thanksgiving that the house and fam gonna be on the zoom. Yeah, we'll probably do something on the zoom or I live or FaceTime.

I didn't even realize that my family didn't even discuss the holiday until two days ago. I went and took my brother some in Jata as store and he was like, yo, sue, um, you should just make steak for Thanksgiving, and I was like steam, like yeah, Honestly, like in our house we usually have Ethiopian food and American food, but we always have way too much leftovers. Like the Ethopian food goes hell of aass. The American food is always left for

do with it. But even on top of that, I'm trying to figure out a way to not celebrate the holiday per se because I don't think it's a holiday for me. But I do want to still take advantage of the fact that, like everybody's gonna be cooking and playing games and hanging out, you know, these European holidays, but still take advantage of the fact that everybody's gonna be together. Mind you, it's not a holiday for me either. I'm just you know, participating, okay, But you know, for me,

I don't eat meter or anything like that. So it's gonna be a vegan Thanksgiving for myself. Bless your heart. But it's not bad. It's not bad though, I like, I gotta have met some oxtails, man, oh, I had to coming up a plate. Listen, the whole point is to just make sure that you, you know, give people their flowers while they're here to receive them. Make sure you keep your loved ones close when your mama call,

answer the phone. Trust me, I know. I think that's really what has just kind of made me realize, like, yeah, we have these holidays and moments that we wait for, but honestly, celebrate your people every chance you get. Big facts. All right, you're all ready to get this show started. Let's jump into it. And you know, since we're talking about celebrating your loved ones, we do have to send a lot of love and like to Atlanta rapper twenty

one Savage. Um, he actually shared that he lost his brother to rail to a senseless act of violence back in London. Did you guys hear about that? It is really sad. The worst part about it is it seems like it was totally random. Um. The family is saying, family and friends are saying that he didn't have any known enemies. He was actually on his own recently. Yeah, oh I didn't. I thought I thought I saw the post. I didn't. I didn't pay attention on all the way.

I thought it was something that happened when he was younger, because he posted a picture of him and his brother when they were kid. Correct. Yeah, So basically what happened was the brother, Terrell, was on his way back home from running errands for his grandmother and he ran into an old friend. Him and the old friends start to talk and they end up into our getting into an argument meant, and they set out of nowhere. The old friends stabbed him and that caused him to die, which

is so sad and so senseless. UM, listen to you, guys, life is so random. You literally don't know what could happen the very next second. So condolences to twenty one Savage and his his loved ones. Definitely sending you guys living life. I can only imagine what it feels like. So make sure you guys sending that man and his family some love. And he was just in the news for buying King Vaughn's sister Ranger over and he felt that he had to, you know, explain himself, which I

didn't think he did. He explained himself about, you know, saying that that's what Vaughn was King Vonn was going to do that for his sister, and then he ended up doing it for her since he wasn't alive of course to make it happen. Um. So yeah, that that's that's just a terrible thing to witness and and hear about. Man man our condolences to Amy Savage to be clear on that. You know, he wanted to just make a good gesture, you know, for King Von's sister and her

birthday because she lives in Atlanta. Yeah, she lives in Atlanta. Like you said, that was something that King Vaughan, I guess, was telling plenty one Savage that he had planned to do for his sister anyway, And I think I think he just wanted to show he just wanted to do a good d you know, he just wanted to make sure that that this young woman has something to smile about,

you know, during a tragic time. And it's so sad that we as people, as a culture or whatever just have to take that and try to manipulate it as if you know, he was trying to get at her. They've been messing around. He just wanted to do something nice, you guys, And sometimes people do that with no strings attached. Okay, uh, well, speaking of us other sad news, It's not all the way sad, but it's sad. The Undertaker retires as a

wrestler over thirty years. I was a wrestling fan. I thought it was real for a significant part of my child myself as well. When he the Undertaker put the Ultimate Warrior in the casket, I cried like a little girl because I thought he died. I was like, because you know, he put somebody in the casket there did and I remember, and then come to find out they in the back smoking cigars and having drinks together the whole time. This is all. I didn't know that wrestling

was acting. But yeah, Undertake has been wrestling for over thirty years. That's the majority of my life. I mean thirty six. I mean he's been restless as I was six years old. Right, It's crazy. He deserves it, notably happy to put his man. Okay, let him go. Now, who's this person? That's who's this person?

Come on, man, if we're talking about hoping that Trevor uses his platform, which he always does, I okay, I am hoping and praying that the Weekend Abel the Weekend please say something, even if you don't verbally say it,

The region of tig Right has no power, no access to water. It's really really bad. And um, we're actually, we actually are going to talk to somebody later on in the show, me as a good Day, who is very well informed and she's gonna help us all understand what is happening with the crisis

in Ethiopia, specifically in the tip Right region. So I'm really excited about today's show. Super excited. Right, Cardi B becomes the first artist to win a m A twice for Favorite Song and Wrap hip Hop category. Shout out to the A m as that just aired Monday, and that was one of the biggest highlights and takeaways. Is to be making history. Yeah, she won with Bodak Yellow in two thousand and eighteen, and then she just won with Wa Whip equals wet asks Vagina. That's not okay.

I didn't want to say the P words. Well, okay, you're wrong. You might have saved the mustache off. You looked like a little boy, but you're wrong. Uh, speaking of history, guys, what y'all think about this Gucci verse Jeezy Battle because Sue you from the A and Rory you love the A. What did y'all think about Jeez Verse Gucca ahead from Florida? Go head boy, I'm gonna go after y'all. Well, let me just get my little you know, joined off, because you know, I know how

passionate y'all are about these two right here. I enjoyed it. I thought it was fairly entertaining to me. It was kind of like grown man versus adolescent, and I just felt like, you know, a man was trying to move forward and Google and you know, Gucci was just like, hey, you can't tell me when to move when this happened to me, you know. Um, so he felt like he just really wanted to dis Jeezy and they ain't even

giving a chance. He had, like so many other records, but you know, a whole lot of records was dis records, and um it really set the party out. There was a lot of intense moments, especially when the truth was played and Jez said what he wanted to say and Gucci wasn't trying to hear it. Put that gas in the dirt, smoking on pooking oat tonight since some mom and send him the same way. And I boxed back to you and I extended the invitation. I did it as a real man because I told you. I told

you I have to drive it. We can't do nothing if I ain't screwed, If I can't perform the truth, we can't do It's we came from in the street. Dog, you've seen it. We've been through it. Dog. I brought you here to show you the world care about what we got going on because we are the coaches. All these kids out here doing what they do because they saw what went on with us. Dog you feel what I'm saying that about King Vaughan by Doe b Boy, Nipsey Hustle by Mo Pop Smoke M three and I'm

real enough to do because once ain't good body. Things for so three things for certain, Allen, but all in all. At the end of the day, Gucci said he accepted the Olive branch, and I'm glad that these brothers can come together and show the streets something. It's possible to have a twenty year or fifteen year corner Gucci long Beef and come out on top. So I am still on cloud nine. I'm so happy that this versus happens.

And I think this is this is just a continuation of all the crazy ship going on in I would have never thought to see this in my life. To be completely honest with you, I am born and raised in Atlanta. I remember going to Bouba's Prime Time Club, Chilcolate, the Pool Palace, all these places and enjoying the hell at a Gucci and jee Z. But I have to keep it real. It was as equally loved as they

both both were at that time. Especially for me, it was either I was in a jeezy mood or I was in a Gucy mood right Like, I never really felt like they necessarily had the same the same vibe and music, although it was trapped. I feel like they were giving me two different messages, right. Jeez was definitely on that thug motivation that showed that that. I always felt like, Okay, he had a little elevation to him,

you know. He he always made me feel like he was somebody that I knew was going to elevate into the type of person he is today. Whereas Gulcy, it was like, shoot, we here we popping next, You're pushing the bitches after the car we were going in. You know what I'm saying that that's what I got from Gucy, and I'm not mad at it, Okay. I loved I love them both equally. So when it came down to trying to choose who I thought was going to win,

I could not up until oh it actually happened. I could not choose now while I was watching it because were in Atlanta. We wide open. I was outside watching it with a whole bunch of other people, and the energy everything the room was going for g Now, it were going back and forth because it was a real battle. Um, But when it came down to it, I think Jez

was able to reach more people. Um. I think Gucci reached a very certain demographic in a certain range, where Jez may have been able to reach people in a whole bunch of different states. And I just think, I really think that that was the only difference. I don't think it was a matter of who had more music or better music. For me, I just think it was m what did it mean for you? Like? What did it mean for you? And for me? Hit after hit after hit after hit, it it was Jez that was

That was a dope response to UM. I ain't gonna keep mind too long because, UM, people always think I'm biased because I'm signed to Jez's talent agency, when in reality, DJ Holiday and Gucci Man named me Ferrari. A lot of people don't know that. Wow, I didn't know the name Ferrari came from DJA Holiday and Gucci Man, um calling me that they were the first two people to start calling me Ferrari. So then I started calling myself Ferrari.

So then uh so let's go to the thing I think. Uh. In my honest opinion, UM, I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm gonna say it was a tie. And the only reason I'm gonna say it was a tie, I think jez One in the song selection department, Gucci Man one in the energy apartment department. I think Gucci came on like ready to like if if if it would have been a boxing match, Gucci would have been ready for that.

Like Gucci just wanted to just he just had all this energy and and Snow was real cool and calm and left if you can tell that he was a little bit more mature, the mature one on the stage. But at the same time, you know, Gucci Man came with the entourage, he came with the with the whole altfita. Of course, you know he's sponsorship that has a partnership with Gucci, so of course he got the Gucci outfit on UM. Snow came with the BMF, the black bandanna, and he had the entourage. So you see one Guyn

on the stage with his DJ, that's it. Then you see the other guy on the stage. You can't see his DJ, but he has a whole full entourage, and he go ahead, not to not to cut you off, but can I just say shout out to j Z DJ, who was on the same type of energy that Gucci was. DJ and Holiday did their things. But let me tell you something about DJ Energy. Honey, you would have thought he was the one that happy. Hey said, what's up? We were the rule? I said, oh no, you and

your he was ready. Okay, Hey aces energy, because that's that's actually Holiday's energy. But Holiday was quiet in the first, like several rounds. I'm over here, like, I send him a text like, bro, you can't do that. I don't know if he read it. I said, boy, you holiday season, you gotta get back in your holiday like back when y'all was two thousand and nine, two thousand and eight. And that's that's when it started getting intense, when Holiday

started talking and ship. But long story short, UM, I thought I'd never seen them perform icy. Never thought that I would see that. And then the after party, I DJ that UM at Compound. I never thought that I'd see them in the same club. Nothing happened, nobody got hurt before or after. Uh, they played the full song in the club, so icy and you know a lot of people from Atlanta those if it's a whole bunch of Gucci people in the building. You don't play snow.

If there's a whole bunch of you know people in the building, don't play googa, you know. Um. And that's just how it is in Atlanta, you know what I'm saying. So um, just to be able to play both of them in the same night was just uh and and then both being the building because you know, a Gucci man is in the building, you can't play it, Jesus, That's just how it was. And if Jez was in the building, you couldn't play a boccie. That's just how it was for the last fifteen years. That's how it

always was. Last night, Uh, last week when I was DJ, and I was like, yo, I could play both right now, Like this is great. I just had so much room to operate as a DJ because you know, they both have big, strong records, especially in Atlanta. So long story short, I think it was a win for Atlanta. It was a win for Atlanta culture, Atlanta music. Let's everybody know that Atlanta's number one in music. We have more views than the v m A Awards and all these big

award shows. Um, everybody watched them tuned into two people from Atlanta, I mean Jesus from Hawkinsville, but you know he reaped the A two um. It was just a great win for Atlanta and it was a magic city, the home of the Lemon Pepper. Wayne he did listen, Atlanta is undefeated. You know, we appreciate you guys for loving us. How y'all do. We love y'all back. But we're still full. We're ready for y'all to come down here yet. But I did brough it. That was a

great point. I enjoyed being able to be out the rest of the weekend and still here Jeezy and Gucci because we was riding that wave all weekend. So shout out to a g he is the goat had Gucci and Jez in the same building at the same time. It Thank you Atlanta, Thank you vers. That compound bag was crazy, man. And then and then listen to y'all. A lot of people didn't pay attention to this because everybody was looking at Jeez and Gucci. Man, it was

a whole bunch of known artists in the building. Wife and Lucci was there. Trouble. A lot of people from Atlanta was there and they weren't need they were just there to watch to see, like I out to see this, that's what. And I think the we posted the video because it was a video of me recording it on Ballerlai. Everybody was like, why aint nobody dancing? Because we're all shocked that Jez is right there and Gucci Man's right there,

and and ain't nobody shooting nobody? That's what we're looking at. We're just looking at them too, and well what we're listening to the song? So I see that y'all don't understand, Like, if you ain't from here, you just ain't gonna understand why we were just all standing up because I just was stuck, like I can't believe this has happening. I can't believe I'm recording this. Legendary things happening, and I just wanted to prepare everybody for this Saturday, another legendary moment.

Mike Tyson versus Roy Jones Junior. Fight. Are y'all watching? And all, uh no, I'm not watching. I think Roy Young Junior is gonna get knocked out. Mike Tyson is an animal. He's a beast, he's a dog, he's a wolf, he is whatever type of animal you can think at is deranged and crazy, and Roy Jones is just an old man. No disrespect to Roy Jones. I'm definitely a fan of you, But Mike Tyson is an animal. He wants to bite your face off, he wants to eat your kids. He's still that guy, and he's going to

destroy you. I don't think you should do. He's not biting faces and ears anymore. But the thing is, I typically don't even like watching the boxing MMA or whatever y'all are doing where y'all punch and kick each other. That's just not my vibe. But I feel like this is such a legendary moment and it's so fitting for I think I'm gonna have to at least try to watch it. Yeah, Rod probably gonna catch the highlights on

Instagram or something. That's where they're gonna be here. But I'm gonna definitely be tuned in though, because this is legendary. Sun get knocked out, y'all. Okay, that's your prediction. How many rounds? Third round, fourth round? He out of that? Okay? Well, if you want to check out this frontline battle, Roy Jones versus Mike Tye said, make sure y'all check out trailer pay per view or f I T dot TV and it'll be right there for you, alright, y'all. So that wraps it up for in case you miss it

on the ball Alert Show podcast. Make sure you stick around because coming up we will be talking to me as a good ay who is a well informed, talented, educated woman who's gonna tell us all about the crisis in Ethiopia. Make sure you keep it where you got it at I hear you, Rob, We'll be right back with more of the Bailer Alert Show. The Baller Alert Show starting March. Ferrari, Simmons and Sue Solo follow Nation. Welcome back to The Baller Alert Show podcast. UM now

listen today. I am super excited because I get to UM bring someone onto the platform that can really talk to us about the crisis happening in Ethiopia and Octavia Ferrari, thank you guys for being so open to allowing me to bring a piece of my personal life onto our platform. UM. On today show, we do have a guest me as a Gida So she worked as a project manager for

the melist and nowI Foundation which is in Adis Ababa. UM. Currently, Miasa is a full time student pursuing her master's degree in international relations, which is so on point for the conversation that we need to have today. UM. Now, a lot of people don't know there is serious conflicts going on in Ethiopia. If you can help us understand what

is happening in Tigrai, Ethiopia, thank you very much. First of all, out like to appreciate you guys for creating this opportunity and allowing me to speak on what's happening in my home country Ethiopia. UM. As you say, there is conflict, it's a civil war. Civil war is happening in Ethiopia. The the allegedment Prime Minister a mid wage war on the people of to Gray on November three, UH and and it has been over twenty days since

the war started. And there is not any way of knowing what exactly is happening to the people of Degrai because the communication channels have been shut down by the federal government. It has been over twenty days since I heard from my family members. Cities across the region have been bombed with war planes and jets and drawn from uh different actors. The war is being watched not only by the federal government, but other international actors have also

entered the scene. The United Arabian Brates is providing the federal government drones and their strong government is also involved in the war. Their troops are killing people, mass occurring and over fifty people have already fled their homes from the Gray and they're now seeking refugee in South and sued On. Um. This is just a glimpse of what's happening into Gripe, but the situation is getting worse by

the minute. Now. A lot of people, you know, will take what you just said as far as you know the err Trean government also being involved. And a lot of my personal friends don't understand the difference between Ethiopian err Trea, you know. Um, they are so shocked to find out that the borders between Ethiopia and Eritrea literally just pretty much opened up. Um, So could you give people a little history on why it is that the

err Trean that Ethiopian Eritrea have the conflict that they have. Okay, Um, First of all, it's important to highlight that ery treate of sovereign country. Uh, They're different from Ethiopia. They have their own administration and their own country although we used to be one country a very long time ago. But after the thirty years, after the three thirty years struggle, they had uh they got their independence, and I think it has been quite some decades ever since airtre became

an independent country. But after that there was a border conflict that arised over twenty five years ago, and then after that we have been pretty much on a deadlock if you have been Eritre. But after the Prime Minister a Vehmed came to office, he tried to bring peace between both countries and there was a peace agreement that was signed by both leaders of both countries. However, that

peace agreement didn't settle to the ground. It didn't include um itaany group spots from air tra and if you that were on the borderlines of both countries, and so the peace agreement was made only between the two leaders and not people of both countries. Because of that, it just only became him a piece only on paper, like the peace didn't really trickle down to the communities on the ground, and so they're the borders were only briefly closed,

like maybe for a couple of six or so. En After that it went back to how it used to be. And there is no way that air trands could travel to if you backthrough to Gray, which is the bordering region between if you're like that's part of if you but it's on the border with Eritrea. If if you want to travel to Iobey would have to Eritrea from Ethiobea. You would have to fly from the capital city of the country. Um. And so the piece agreement was not

really it wasn't genuine. It was rather a politically motivated agreement that both leaders um signed. Yeah, I think that's something that a lot of people don't know is you know, when Abby decided that, you know, they were going to try to work this out or whatever the case was, they actually closed off a lot of roads that led

to the region of Taga. So while they seemed to the rest of the world that Ethiopia and Eritrea were doing great, there was literally this region of of of space and land that she's talking about that they had. It seems like they had already planned to do this too. You know, they had already started blocking off roads and access. So, um, it looked one way, but they had this plan you know, all along in the background. At least that's what it feels like now a lot of people are torn. Right.

You have some people that feel like other ethnic groups aren't speaking up because they feel like it doesn't affect them. But then you also have some of those other ethnic groups that are saying, well, where were you guys when this was happening to us? Um I can definitely admit that I am not as educated, you know, in Ethiopia's history as I should be, So as people are bringing up these conversations, it is allowing me to do more research.

And I understand that they feel as though, you know, the thing that have happened in the past, this is just some people see it as this was just natural, This is going to happen. The innocent citizens are just collateral damage at this point. This is literally some of the things that I have been hearing and reading and messages that people have sent to me directly. What is it actually what is it going to take for people to just stop and and and just be good people?

When do we realize that, Okay, yes, TPLF may have done this in the past, or this this government may have done this back then, But when do we come to a time where we have to say enough is enough? Let's just stop. Yeah. Um, that's a very important thing to to look into because the whole everything that's happening, it's not just only about to pay Lift. To pay Lift is a political party that was elected by the

people of two right. So even if the central government has any kind of ideological difference was to pay Lift, it's not up to the central government to remove to pay Life because the pen Lift was elected by over two point seven million to grants to administer the t Gray region. So the people of the Gray have given their will to to pay Lift to administer them to

underminister their region and not Ethiopia. So if to pay Lift is indeed as criminal as they tried to paint it to be, it's up to the people of Too Great to remove it or otherwise. Um. So the central government needs to respect the people's will and the war is not going to change that. Um. But the other thing is this is just a secontinuation of all the subjugation attempts that are Viehmad has been trying to impose on all ethnic groups and Ethiopia ever since he assumed power.

He did the same thing to the Somali ethnic group. He did the same thing to the Aura almost and to other ethnic groups. The only difference why there is resistant and there is civil war from the Gray region is because we happen to have a very strong government compared to other Ethany groups. Unfortunately, other Itchany groups were not as organized as that the great community is. They didn't have a strong government that could actually defend their

right self administration. But the whole war, it's not just it's not a war only Ontegrance. It's rather whar against the ulti national federalism that if you have adherts to because as you all might know, if you have as a very diverse country, so you cannot impose a uniterroist ideology and force people to be administered according to one culture, according to one narrative. So I think it's important to

have this broad understanding of what's happening. But to come back to the question you raised, um, the solution lies on people understanding that people have the right self administration and nobody can impose a certain kind of governance on them. Unless people came to this realization, it's going to be very difficult for Ethio better see peace. Even if the

federal government succeeds in eliminating to pay live. I am hundred percent sure that the people of the Gray would continue to fight for their condestional right of self administration, and the other ethnic groups, like for example, the Aroma community, they're showing solidarity to the people of the Gray because they understand the value of self administration. It's only some expansionist elements of them how to elite, not even them

how to people. It's only them how to elite that are supporting the soar and for them, I don't think they would ever get this because the ideology that a Vehma is trying to impose is something that they had heard too. We're being forced, like so many ethiop and Itchnic groups, are being forced to um adapt culture now culture, skill, uh language and religion that is highly pronounced in the

Amhara elite community. So as long as their interests is not touched, they're not going to have any problem with this. But for the rest of the world and for the rest of the etheropre and community, the solution lives in realizing that people have the right to be who they are. People have their right to be respective for their identity, and no one can impose any system of governance on people unless they agree to it. And this is a

political problem. It's a political problem, it's an ideological problem, and work cannot solve it. The only solution is dialog and an inclusive national discussion needs to be held in Ethiopia. You know, it's basically like what the Black lives Black Lives Matter movement he is here in the States. You know, black people are saying, Hey, we are black, this is what our culture is. We don't want to conform to how you want us to be. Um. And it is

exactly what's happening in Ethiopia. However, it's happening amongst Ethiopians, you know, just just in different ethnic groups. Um. The unfortunate thing is what the other countries getting involved. We all know that Africa ideally and naturally is the richest continent in the world. However it's deemed to be the poorest because we're getting rocked every single day. You know, Europeans have come in and have really divided Africa so badly, um to the point that you have now Ethiopia on

the genocide watch list. You know, Um, it is very unfortunate. You know how how Africa has dealt with trauma year after year after year after year and division. And what I will say is I think has been eye opening for a lot of people, and people are starting to pay more attention to Africa. But when it comes to this particular topic, we need more, you know, we we need help. We need people to use the hashtags, UM, the proper hashtags, do your resource, your research, UM, Communicate

within your communities. If you have friends that are of Habish had descent, whether they are Ethiopian or Eritrean, try to learn a little history on on what's going on with that. UM. You know, my friends are actually dumbfounded that I cannot get ahold of my mom. Every day someone's asking did you talk to your mom yet? As if as if there's not a civil war going on and she lives in a region that doesn't have power.

I literally have no idea where she is. So I want to thank you for taking the time out to help us understand what is going on back home. UM. And also you have been loud and proud on Twitter. Thank you so much for the updates. I love just going through and feeling like, you know, we have these warriors here UM in the States that can really speak for our family members back home that that cannot So

thank you so much for your time. Is there anything that you want to let people know, any organizations that you want us to pay attention to, particular hashtags use and where can we value on social media? Yeah, thank you so much again. UM, just one thing before I go to the hashtags. Uh. You encouraged people to do their research and to learn more about what's happening. But I want them to understand that this is a war that is wodaged against ethnic minority, a minority that has

been subjucated and marginalized for such a long time. So they may not necessarily find articles are our news outlets that would necessarily amplify our applights. So I I encourage everyone to follow hashtags UM mainly stop war on TI Gray and to follow to Gray and activists because everything you see on on on the on the conventional media seems to amplify government propaganda and so our voices are

not heard. And the fact that there is no there is communication block outcoming from Tigray, Ethiopia, it makes it very difficult to find a personal account of what the grand people are going through right now. UM, And so it seems like everyone is ganging upon us, including Amnesty International. They're they're publishing very based reports, so if people try to research more, they may not necessarily find the truth.

So I just want them to know that. But in order to avoid this kind of misunderstanding, it would be better for them to follow to Grant activists and at the same time follow the hashtag so war on Tigray UM. But generally what's happening Integra is not any different than what happened to the Jews. UM. So the stakes are very high and it's important that the international community speaks up right now. UM. The UN Security Council is having a meeting right now as we speak. There are discussions

whether to inter to have international intervention or not. African You need seems to say this is an African problem and it needs to be solved through Africans. But we all know African Union is too slow as they don't have the power, and so that's why we need an

international intervention. And to your followers and listeners, I would I want to beg them and urge them to contact their representatives, local representatives, congress people, send it people and just ask them to put pressure on the Trump administration not just not support this crime, this wire that's happening in Ethiopia, and just help us to bring bos war in parts to the negotiation table. Yeah, as I good it. Thank you so much for speaking so eloquently and really

helping us understand what's going on. Thank you for your time. I'm going to continue to stop you on Twitter and I am probably going to bug you every day as we try to figure out a solution to helping our family back home and all the refugees who traveled by foot with nothing but the items on their backs. So we were gonna do everything we can to make sure that we spread awareness and put an end to this. Thank you very much, Thank you. I have a great day.

Thank you. We'll be right back with more of the Bather Alert Show podcast right after this. You're you're listening to the show. Welcome back, Welcome back, and now it is time for Ballard mail. Okay, dear or, I'm very frustrated. My guy and I have been messing around for twelve months. Yesterday I asked him what are we and he said I don't know, So I said, so if I go do me? Would that be a problem? He says, yes, it would be a problem. I don't know what to do.

Confused explanation point listen, anybody, Oh, let me let me review this again if you have to ask. First of all, I need to know y'all have a raw sex in twelve months, because if you're letting them go all obenion with no protection twelve months and you don't know what you are, you're already taking the l right now. You need go ahead and remove yourself in the situation. But that ain't really the main part of what we're gonna digest. You asked his ask what are messing around for twelve months?

Maybe you know what the hell you is? You was a booty call girl. You was just a piece of ass on a piece of plate, not even the guy damn porcelain plate. You was on a paper plate. You was a piece of ass on a paper plate. Baby. Okay, Because you had the nerve to ask him, what are we after twelve months? Let him slide up in that cook ad jar. Then you said. His answer was I don't know. That is exit stage left, out of here. And then you say I'm gonna do me. Would that

be a problem? He said, yes, Now you know baby, use one of his holes, use one of his side pieces. I don't know what number you are on the texas that he sends out in the morning. Hey how you doing, Hey, good morning, Hey good night. I don't know what number it is on the on the list, but you're probably not even the top five. Okay, I'm just let you know you might not be even even be in the

top five. Remove yourself in the situation and go check your d m s. It's probably somebody that you just that wants to be on man and wants to claim you and give you flowers. Take your ass on day. Take you to Ruth Chris and hit that ass all slow and you know what I'm saying, Rug you back and hold on to you when he just grinding on top. You know I'm talking about you ever had that? No, you want to know why because he probably just reetch on the baby. Get your ass out home, that's what

he's doing to you. You probably didn't have nobody blow your back out and then stay in the bed and hold you afterwards. When the last time that happened? Huh? Probably not in a long time. Because this guy is putting your grass out as soon as he's hit that because he was side chick. That's what's going on. Goodbye, I feel attacked, bro.
