Fiyameta:

Putting aside for a moment Eritrea’s political cause and longtime struggle for independence from Ethiopia, I found this story a shocking tragedy for both parties that were involved.

The fighter planes were bought by Ethiopian taxpayers.

The young men who labored in the desert for a training to destroy them could have been easily trained by the Ethiopian Airlines in Bole to become pilots and fly civilian planes inside and outside Ethiopia.

This simple juxtaposition came to my mind when I came across this story.

This is one of those threads I wished to get back to when I read it.

I looked for it and found it to ask both you and sesame a simple question. I hope he would also take a moment to answer it before following your footsteps.

So, putting aside the political cause, have you ever thought to yourself that this tragedy is irrational from historical, practical, and economic perspectives?

I also wonder how many other governments in the world have ever used fighter planes to fight against citizens of their own country within their country’s borders or on their own soils. If there are countable other countries, I wonder where Ethiopia ranks in this history.

"Tax paying Ethiopians" is perhaps the biggest joke of the century considering that 97% of the Ethiopian government's budget is attributed to foreign aid. For the last 70 plus years, Global powers salivating over Eritrea's highly prized strategic location didn't feel the need to sacrifice their own soldiers to control Eritrea, instead they used the expendables next door to facilitate their Neo-colonial agenda by giving them expired food aid as a "reward."

The greatest tragedy is, therefore, when African mercenaries measure their self worth by the amount of foreign aid, military aid, and food aid they receive in exchange for losing their lives in wars fought on behalf of the global powers. It's even more tragic when such mercenaries don't realize that their lowest IQ average in the world is directly related to their mercenary culture that does not permit them to develop human traits such as thinking, reasoning, knowing right from wrong, and behaving in a civilized way.



The mercenary pilots dropping napalm bombs on these innocent, defenseless Eritrean children thought they would find favor and high regard in the eyes of the world for their uncivilized, barbaric and savage acts, but the world instead put them in the Oxford dictionary as an example for the word "Famine."

The mercenaries borrowed billions of dollars to purchase a fleet of MIG fighter planes from the global powers that used them as mere pawns in their quest to control Eritrea, and when we Eritreans turned those planes into ashes, the mercenaries felt we deprived them of their quest for "glory," -- totally oblivious to the foreign debt they continue to rack up as a result of their shocking ignorance. That's like a hired hit man who borrows money from the one that hired him so he can buy weapons to carry out his mission, then ended up in a lifetime of debt and become an indentured slave just because his victims destroyed all his weapons to emasculate him further. IQ Matters!

Fiyameta:

I have just come back to this thread and read your response.

Have you been adding to the tragedy or helping future generations in both Eritrea and Ethiopia in general and Tigray in particular think for themselves?

While looking for this thread, I found a pattern in your posts praising Eritrea to the extent of flattery and condemning Ethiopians in Tigray badly while inviting Union to join in by calling him a DJ when he used to say: ገጥመን መስሎኝ፣ ሲሉ ሰምቶ።

Complete lack of strategic value?
