Land-locked Ethiopia Buying Warships While Ethiopian People Facing Starvation

Post by Somaliman » 03 Apr 2022, 09:16

Ethiopia is a land-locked country like many African countries. It does not need naval warships for not having sea coast. Somalia and Djibouti will not let their archenemy warships use their seaports for security reasons unless they are civilian commercial cargo ships and will drive back Ethiopian warships if they try to enter Somali waters in the Horn of Africa.

Ethiopia is under continuous destruction by uncontrollable, persistent civil wars in the North of the country between Eritrean-supported Amhara and Afar on one side and Tigray on the other side. Millions, who are displaced by the wars, either went to Sudanese Refugee camps or are internally displaced People after the ethnic cleansing wars in Tigray Region in 2020-2021. Millions face starvation for having severe malnutrition inside Ethiopia. Ethiopia is a war-ravaged country where corruption, anarchy and chaos prevail with no able governing central power or authority.

So, with military and economy collapsed, foreign policy in shambles and under severe sanctions because of extreme human rights abuses, why is the weak government in Addis-Ababa headed by PM Abiy Ahmed wasting so much money on warships that Ethiopia does not need and that could be sold in international market in the future, instead of spending that hard currency on the civil war affected people in war-torn Ethiopia where millions face starvation?

Let me throw my 2 cents here,

I am of the opinion that the 7th king won't buy any naval warships. He is applying such crap for public consumption in order to win the hearts and minds of the amhara elites aka the Qey bahrachin dreamers since he noticed that they are distancing themselves from him and making secret deals with the monster in adi halo (eritrea). Besides, as you are following the news, the honeymoon of both dictators is over and they are conspiring on each other.

Abi being under extreme international pressure, he will disarm the fannos and force them to withdraw from the welqayit area and that's why he is deploying new troops in that area.

This may sound unbelievable but believe me abi's his next step will be that he will demand eri troops to withdraw from the welQayit area.

Consider such scenario as a stay-tuned case.

My thought!
