Fueling Hostilities Between Ethnic Groups in Ethiopia Lacks Intelligence
Posted: 27 Jul 2020, 06:26
Guys,
You should learn a thing or two from what conflict between clans has cost Somalia. Due to clan conflict, thirty years have elapsed and Somalia hasn't yet recovered. Ethnic conflict, after all, modifies and deeply changes the way people think and perceive things, and it would be extremely hard to eradicate such perceptions later on; thus, becoming prone to staying permanently to the detriment of nation rebuilding.
True, Rwanda as a country has recovered from the genocide, but grudges, grievances, and ill-feelings between Hutu and Tutsi still exist in the Rwandan society at large, and they can be fueled at anytime. This claim of mine is based on an accurate, deep, and close understanding through immersion and direct engagement that I'v acquired during my stay in Rwanda.
Therefore, as a neighbour of yours, I find unintelligent to fuel hostilities between ethnics in Ethiopia right from your comfort in the west. Ethiopia can afford anything but ethnic conflict! "Be careful what you wish for, you may just get it."
I say this, because fueling hostilities between ethnic groups in Ethiopia has lately become the daily staple of this forum!
Just a thought!
