Gold Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed claimed to have discovered from Emperor Haileselassie I Palace sounds like misnomer if not a lie

Toronto – During his parliamentary address earlier this week, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed informed members of parliament (95 percent of whom are from his ruling Prosperity Party) that 400 kilograms of gold had been “discovered” from Jubilee Palace, also known as the National Palace which was built during the reign of Emperor Haileselassie I.
“We are depositing 400 kilograms of gold to the National Bank,” he announced, suggesting that the gold was newly discovered during the palace’s renovation. “We have formed a committee to weigh it and deposit it to the National Bank,” he added, which seemed somewhat contradictory.
However, information that emerged after his speech suggests a different narrative.
Elias Meseret, former AP freelancer and owner of Meseret Media, posted on his X page that the gold was not in bar form.
According to the information he shared , Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed was painting a picture of newly discovered treasure when in fact it consisted of gold utensils previously used at the palace and gold artifacts gifted to the emperor by other countries.
The source also mentioned that the Prime Minister was advised to keep the items under heritage protection or at the National Museum rather than deposit them in the National Bank. Nevertheless, the Prime Minister’s insistence overruled the recommendation.
The Jubilee Palace
In his parliamentary speech, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed also claimed that only his government had shown concern for the palace. “Because it is a feudal house, no governments wanted to see it, let alone touch it,” he stated, portraying his government as the first to undertake its renovation.
He even asserted that the palace would have collapsed had his government not undertaken the renovations, for which they hired an Italian contractor, Baldero.
“What we have built in that palace in the past two years is greater than the work that was already there. No doubt about that,” the Prime Minister claimed during his parliamentary address.
Abiy Ahmed himself is overseeing the construction of a new palace under the “Chaka Project,” reportedly worth $15 billion. He declined to disclose the project’s financial sources to parliament.

Hey PM Abiy! That is my gold. I forgot to take it back with me after stopping by the palace to chat with the late emperor on July 26, 1968. I have been searching for it since then. Thank you for finding it for me. How about a cut of 25% for you for finding it? Good boy!!!
If I am reading it correct, it’s may bar hold. It actual possessions that should be kept in the museum not in the bank.
We get a lot of feedback that the leadership in Ethiopia is extremely dangerous and its on going genocide in Ethiopia. The governance is very bad, and extremely Marxist…
If this belongs in the palace then PM Abiy Ahmed please display this in the palace so people can see it.
Also stop civil war and genocide of innocent civilians NOW.

Dear countrymen/women,
Today the people of Ethiopia lost one of their steadfast friends. The composer/arranger Quincy Jones has moved on to be with the Good Lord. The people of Ethiopia will not and should never forget what he has done for them during their starving and trying days in 1985. He brought together the top entertainers in the music world the sing for charity with which he raised more than 200 million dollars in today’s value. Huey Lewis was there! The great Ray Charles was there. Michael Jackson, Diane Warwick, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan, Journey, Cyndi Lauper, Lionel Ritchie, Born In The USA Bruce, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Banana Boat Harry Belafonte, the Pointer Sisters, Waylon Jennings, you name it. He was able to bring together top musicians from every genre to sing in a single that generated millions for the good cause. There were liberals, anarchists and sworn conservatives among them but he was able to bring them together for the cause.
While this great friend of Ethiopia was working 24/7 to help his African friends, what were those commie niggers doing from their hideouts in the bushes, you may ask? They were chasing away and kidnapping aid workers who were trying to get food and medicine to the starving and dying people. I am not making this up because it is in the terrorist database.
Let’s take a moment to pay tribute to this great friend of the Ethiopian People.
Dear Ittu Aba Frada, Thank you for educating us. It feels like many Ethiopians, especially young generations, may not know what this beloved, kind-hearted man achieved for our country. Our hero, Quincy Jones, rest in peace. We love and honor you!!
Our hero, Quincy Jones
May the winds of heaven blow softly and whisper in your ear
How much we love and miss you and wish that you were here
Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure
You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure
Wow it is huge. Been there for all those years? Well done.
He is the greatest leader of Africa
He will build great Ethiopia on Horn of Africa
Now on a serious note. If this gold belonged to the late emperor, first it should be sorted out and secured at a safe place. He might have gotten part of the gold as gifts by foreign governments and notables. I remember he was an avid traveler. He also is survived by descendants and they should be considered in handling this find. Otherwise, it will amount to nothing but a daylight robbery. Okay smelly commies! Hit it! A-one, a-two, a-three!!!
Extra! Extra!! Read All About It!!! This is breaking news!!!
Fitch Ratings has just raised Egypt’s short and long term credit ratings to B which is still well below the rating it gave to Eritrea which is a solid A. Somalia was given BB. That is right, double B. Ethiopia! You’re toast now because you are surrounded by a mighty troika.
Hey Ethiopia! I heard you just banned imports of gasoline powered cars. Good for you. You don’t have to import electric cars all the way from Asia. They are being made right there next door in Eritrea. Eritrea is now the world largest manufacturer of electric vehicles of all kinds. They can shlep millions of them during nights right across the border. All you have to do kiss and make with your mighty neighbor first by paying them the 250 billion in US dollars you own them for the people you killed and property you destroyed when you invaded that country in 1941, 1952, 1962 and 1998. See how easy I made it for you? Get going, you dumb ass!!!
People that dreamed of owning “a used bicycle” in pre 1979 China (45 years earlier) are today dumping Porchia, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Range Rover….etc. for less than half the price they paid for just a few months earlier…
Forget New cars from Eretria…
Used Chinese cars are heading to the car deanships near you…

Be well.
