We are seeing how the world is trembling when they see the two countries leadership working in synchronized manner. It may have reminded them the fear we instilled on them during adwa. I also think that they fear other african states follow the trend and declare their independence from modern day exploitation and interferences. Their effort to put Eritrea under sanction is something the people of the two countries need to fight together.
Deqi-Arawit .... the playbook of the western governments gives you two options.
1 - sell your interest and live like the agame 27 year rule being their puppet
2 - resist until they make a change of mind through their election
which one do you chose.
To blame all our failure on Europeans or Americans is very simplistic approach and abdicate our own responsibility as human being on the shoulder of others. And let me try to make sense to what I am trying to say. As examples, Let's compare Saudi Arabia and Nigeria, countries with huge national resources namely the black Gold. Despite corruption and mismanagement of resources and nepotism, Saudi Arabian monarchs have utilized their natural resources to the best interest of their citizens and nation. The kingdom with a population of 30 million inhabitants is on the top 20 richest countries in the world with excellent infrastructure, healthcare and education while Nigeria with almost 200 million inhabitants has nothing to show off. Even the most important pillar of every state which is the military is underfunded while its citizens are sneaking to Europe to seek political asylum like the rest of other Africans. This circumstances has nothing to do with Arabs been smarter or have higher IQ than Nigerians however, in comparison to Nigeria, the Arabs in Saudi Arabia have some thing in common which is Islam, Arabic language and common history. You might argue that there is Clan and sub clan system and the Shiite Muslims in the Southern region of Saudi Arabia which is true, never the less, as long as the authority is able to meet the basic needs of the majority, disgruntled minority can't do nothing to change the status quo. And the Americans don't have interest to see the fragmentation of the Saudi Arabia because of the Iranian Shitte menace. In the end of the day, western governments involvement to instigate and enforces coup d'etat in Africa or else where has nothing to do with us been Africans or black but it emanates from their national interest. The question is, Do we as nations have effecient institutions, security apparatus and intelligence Agencies to know their plan in advance and foil it? That is where we fail and let me tell you why we fail.
African countries are the result of 1889 of the Berlin conference on which major European countries sliced the continent among them without the regard, desire, input or feedback of the locals. During the same period, Ethiopia; the only country which was not colonized by European countries expanded its frontier massively and incorporated and absorbed people which are aliens to the ruling class. As the result, within the country, you have different ethnic groups who have different backgrounds, history, future, fate and destiny which provide foreigners golden opportunity to exploit and incite any groups to take arm and create instability or stage coup d'etat. In simple language, Despite you share the same country and passport with some ethnic groups, the same groups are willing to cooperate with aliens to undo you and the country you share. Now just imagine, if Ethiopia was inhabited by majority and [deleted] ethnic group who have the same history, language, fate and destiny, those foreign agents who wish ill your country might find individual traitors who are willing to sell their homeland, but these individual traitors wouldn't able to galvanize and mobilize the people to start a wide spread war against their own country and destroy their own property.
To return to the main topic! Relatively speaking, Mengistu Hailemariam or the Derg created a sense among the population that the country belong to every citizen, but the 27 of woyane rule of divide and conquer is not easy to erase if it will ever be erased? By desire, Woyane created many political landmines which are victims, disfranchised groups who want to channel their frustration on the Amhara and the question is how are these questions going to be addressed? what is certain though is, The poor Dr abiye doesn't have the luxury like the Eritrean dictator to deprive the population life, liberty and pursuit to happiness and it is not in Ethiopias national interest to have a combatant and confrontational approach when it deals its relationship with the west.
