Plea of a concerned citizen: Navigating Beyond Abiy

Abiy Ahmed is the most untrusted politician the region has witnessed in its modern history.

What makes him even more dangerous is his Rohobham-ish doctrine of statesmanship that emanates from a political shrewdness epitomized in “እርካብና መንበር” — putting the entire region in a precarious position, hence constant instability.

He would demolish every ladder and break every bridge that he used to quench his hunger for power, positioning himself as the linchpin of the HoA thru West’s approval —all to achieve his dream of becoming an unassailable ruler for life.

He came thus far by exploiting historical grievances and the deliberate fomenting of discord among brotherly people:

TPLF made the colossal miscalculation of falling into his trap when beating the war drums and kickstarting the Nov 2020 battle. Amhara and Eritrea automatically lured into the war for obvious reasons —and the rest is history.

The latest game card is edifying the Oromo Empire of East Africa—resulting in his depiction of Amhara and Eritrea as adversaries to this “prosperous grand design.”

Pretoria played a pivotal role in shaping up (twisted) this narrative to his advantage. West is played, or at least made to give a silent node due to its geopolitical interest.

The mission is now set: He didn’t hesitate to betray Fano in broad daylight —igniting a fresh insurgency in one of the largest region of the country.

He will soon undoubtedly betray his one time ally Eritrea: and potentially engulf the entire region in turmoil.

Egypt is quietly observing the ingenious process from afar, as does the East. No doubt multiple actors will take part in this intricate game each driven by their unique motivations and interests.

Rohobham seems to believe he’s the sole [ deleted ] mind. Buoyed by his prior “successes”, he positions himself for a plan driven by ego —a lifetime king, even if that entails incinerating his nation to the ground and torching the entire region to rule over the ashes.

The stakes are immense: The Oromo cannot build and sustain an empire by subjugating their fellow people. Tigray cannot seek redress for its past thru unrelenting conflict with their eternal neighbors.

It’s time to withhold our respective grievances, be proactive in joining hands to say NO to Rohobham’s delusions —and chart a constructive path forward.

The otherwise would risks an enormous miscalculation, eclipsing any turmoil the country and the Horn of Africa have previously experienced. The prospect of a civil war would be but a minor prelude to the potential fallout.

Abiy Ahmed Ali should be forced to resign for the sake of national and regional stability. The ceaseless fabrication of crises must come to an end, preventing the addition of yet another conflagration atop the existing challenges.

May reason and rationality prevail over individual pains and victimhood.
