The wrong way to frame the issue

I am surprised by this strange use of language (highlighted in red). The Horn of Africa is a region made up of countries and not of "peoples". There are four countries in the HoA and not 200 million peoples. The best way to organise the world including the HoA is along independent countries and not along the strange concept of 200 million peoples who own the region. I find it difficult to understand why the government of Eritrea finds it useful to frame the issue along these lines.

Language matters and it is important to frame issues in the most appropriate manner, especially the business of countries requires precise legalistic and bureaucratic language and not diffuse terms of "people who own a region".

I think that has to do with our zone in general being so attractive in many ways & the high & mighty wanting to control it (hence all of us), so framing it in this manner is useful. If we're going to defeat the encroachmrnt & the messing with our intenal affairs- unity in THINKING (not geographical unity per se)- is the only way, in my humble opinion. If you check the last statement of the message for instance, it doesn't end with the usual "awet n'hafash" but with "ሰላምን ዕብየትን ንመላእ ህዝብታት ቀርኒ ኣፍሪቃ!"

Thank you Zmeselo for your take, I appreciate that and understand your perspective.

In my opinion, these are four very different countries with unique history, possibilities and problems. I don't think we Eritreans are interested in any kind of ፖለቲካን ጸጥታን ምክልኻልን ውህደት or ኲለንተናዊ ምትሕብባር or ሓባራዊ ቁጠባዊ ዞናታት after defining our region as ርስቲ ናይ ልዕሊ 200 ሚልዮን ህዝብታት. It sounds very far-reaching and not anchored in the aspirations of the Eritrean people, and at the very least can confuse our neighbours into assuming things.

True, we may have common interest in some areas, for example in down-sizing the woyane, and both countries did a nice job in ascertaining that, but in general the trajectory of African countries is unpredictable and I don't see any reason for going beyond what is minimally necessary in tying your future to that of any other country. The Eritrean government should refrain from all such talk and focus on developing our uniquely different country.

I get your "ሳእንኻ ማዕረ እግርኻ" way of thinking believe me & I'm confident the govts' modus- operandi is like that as well, but we're forced into this thing.

A lot of examples can be cited but a clear one was the attempt by the weyane to isolate Eritrea; first by coopting the Igaad (was a good regional thinking that one too) & then through the "Sanaa Forum" lined every country in the region against Eritrea. Its mercenary work in the region, by antagonizing Eritrea for decades & invading Somalia.... Etc etc

I think that's where it begun, with Eritrea then changing strategy completely, from inward looking & started thinking in a wider regional perspective.

Luckily and all of a sudden a very young, dynamic & progressive leader appeared on the scene in Ethiopia; the country with the most of the 200M population being spoken about.

Now with US animosity & superpower rivalry for our region's rich resources & the fact that we eliminated the terrorist grp. together, solidified that thinking.

Where it will all go, depends on the awareness level of the people's of the Horn & Eritrea is doing its part, preparing its people for that. That's why, I think, the article being in Tigrgna & not in English or Arabic. It's meant for "local consumption".

Great job Justo. I couldn't agree more. Otherwise, we will be a minority group in what is called the greater horn nation of Africa aka Ethiopia. :twisted: :lol: Who is calling who the sell out. :roll: :lol: :lol: That would make us future scape goat shooting targets like the agames. :twisted:

What is one called, when working to hand over the whole region to 'massa- whitey' on a silver platter? A 'house negro', comes to mind!

Once again & LOUD AND CLEAR:

Successive Ethiopian REGIMES have been our boon for sure, in the service of foreign entities. We LOVE the Ethiopian people on the other hand, whether a terrorist happens to like it or not! :mrgreen:
