The Nobel Peace Prize winner who's presiding over a humanitarian catastrophe (CNN)

(CNN)In 2018, after a two-year conflict, two historically warring nations — Ethiopia and Eritrea — at last signed a peace agreement. The following year, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who brokered the peace, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

In the two years since, Abiy joins the ranks of controversial Peace Prize recipients and nominees, as his record now includes overseeing what may amount to war crimes. Myanmar's leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, for example, was awarded the prize in 1991 "for her non-violent struggle for democracy and human rights;" shortly thereafter, her government was accused of genocide against the Rohingya minority. Joseph Stalin, head of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, was twice nominated for the prize.

When Abiy received his Nobel Prize, he faced two clear paths: the path of democracy that could reconcile deep-rooted internal ethnic divisions and bring lasting peace to Ethiopia, or that of authoritarianism and renewed ethnic grievances.

Sadly, he has failed to heal a persistent national rift. Ethiopia is in crisis, as an escalating armed conflict between Abiy's federal Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) and forces of the previously dominant political party, the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), has ballooned into a humanitarian catastrophe. This power struggle came to a boiling point last year during a constitutional dispute when the Tigray region held its own elections, refusing to recognize Abiy's administration.

Do you really think that America and co. are doing what they are doing now against Ethiopia to favor TPLF or some sort of helping TPLF?

In that case you must be an insane person, to be honest with you.

They will help TPLF only as far as this can help them pursue their own goal, which is to be realised in the realm of weakend Ethiopia.

They can wish a weakened Ethiopia but why are you wishing to see a weakend Ethiopia as an African? That is wherein your insanity lies.

They are not doing it to help TPLF. They are doing it to save Ethiopia from destroying itself. Americans were on Abiy's side when he promised them he will finish it in 3 weeks. They were taping Isaias's shoulder for being a gentleman when they had evidence that his soldiers are alrealdy in Tigray. Crisis Group are saying the conflict has reached a dangerous deadly stalemate. Abiy said at the beginning it was a 3 days job, then he said he wanted 2-3 weeks extension, and so far he has had 10 three week extensions! Now the war has hit stalemate. So continuing the war would be stupid. So how is that ending the war going to weaken Ethiopia? Ending the war and resolving issues in political discussion would make Ethiopia stronger. Do you want the war to continue?

Reinstating TPLF means nothing else other than keeping Ethiopia weak, a weak Ethiopia means also a weak Tigray. Do you miss this?

Where in this world is a self-respecting government supposed to get into political dialogue with an entity that has already ambushed its national defense force? Do you have a precedence?

Was TPLF's Ethiopia weak? The Ethiopia TPLF left behind was seen as a country that was on the rise. It was a country that many countries were trying to emulate. It was among those fastest-growing countries on the continent of Africa. It was a country which is a close ally of China and US.

If TPLF were going to be willing to be back in Ethiopian politics (which I highly doubt), Ethiopia would be back to the above described state. The post-TPLF Ethiopia has been the weakest Ethiopia in its history. Checkout 8:40 to 17:28 and ask yourself if you still want the protracted war to continue.

Let me correct one thing, if you misunderstood me, but hope you didn't. Ethiopia was not necessarily the weakest under TPLF as a nation, even when the distribution of the fruition was not even, like many close to the isse agree on.

The weakest Ethiopia, that I tried to highlight here, is a divided Ethiopia, along the different seams, which will be an evident if TPLF returns to power (in Tigray), which didn't want to accept anybody else to be at the helm of power in Ethiopia. They were investing highly in dividing Ethiopia using the fruition they earned from the "rising Ethiopia" you are talking about.

We will keep fighting each other and a country that is condemned to fight with itself has never been a rising star, as far as I can assume.

The war has reached a dangerous deadly stalemate and will evolve into a protracted war. The war has been going on for over 200 days. Please convince me how continuing the war will benefit Ethiopia. If you going to argue the war should continue, how long do you envisage the war will take? What happens if we hit that time and the war has not ended?

The war was won and done with in the first 3 weeks. What we have no is a war on terror which will continue until every terrorist is liquidated in Tigray. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
