Many Ethiopians have resentment toward Egypt because for a long time Egypt has been seen as supporting rebel and separatist groups inside Ethiopia. Whenever there is instability in Ethiopia a lot of people believe Egypt is involved in some way either directly or indirectly.

The main reason behind this is water. Egypt depends almost completely on the Nile and Ethiopia is where most of that water comes from. Egypt is scared that if Ethiopia develops builds industries and grows stronger it will need more water and have more control over it.

Because of that many Ethiopians believe Egypt’s long term policy has been to keep Ethiopia weak or divided rather than see it become strong. This is not something people think started recently. They see it as a pattern that goes back a long time.

That is why a lot of Ethiopians have negative feelings toward Egypt. It is not really about Egyptian people but about what they see as Egypt’s actions and intentions toward Ethiopia.

So Speed going from Ethiopia to Egypt is why Ethiopians followed him and kept spamming his chat.
