Addressing Tigray challenges and concerns while assuring contuinity with Ethiopia!
Posted: 12 Apr 2022, 13:35
Tigray is the soul and the spirit of Ethiopia and the foundation of Ethiopia over which others are built and determinantly impacts the peace, stability and continuity of Ethiopia. Hence, Tigray deserves recognition and exceptional treatment as part of the Ethiopian political, security , military , economic and social structure.
In the United Nations we have only 5 countries with exceptional veto power among 193 countries. Among the five countries with veto power , England and France have only 56 million(0.7% of world ) and 68million ( 0.85% of world ) population respectively, in an 8 billion population world. Their veto power is not related to their population size but to their historical contribution & disproportionate impact to the global peace, stability and advancement.
I strongly believe Tigray has to stay together with Ethiopia under a negotiated arrangement that recognizes it's disproportionate contribution and importance for Ethiopia despite the size of it's population and at the same time addresses Tigray's valid risk/fear of marginalization and hegemony in the areas of security & militery by Ethiopia and assures its self rule( with an independent militery and security) and autonomous continuity most probably as a sovereign nation but economically confederated and integrated with Ethiopia. አፄ፥ ሐይለስላሴ፥ ትግራይ፥ ብቻ፥ ራስዋን፥ ችላ፥ "የትግራይ፥ ገዢ፥" ሾመው፥ ነበር፥ ሁለት፥ ልጆቻቸውንም፥ በጋብቻ፥ ለትግራይ፥ ሰጥተው፥ነበር። ሌሎች፥ ክፍለ፥ሀገራትን፥ ግን፥በእንደራሴ፥ ነበር፥ የሚያስተዳድሩት። ያብቻውን፤ በቂ፤ ባይሆንም።(ጎንደሬዎች፥ እንኻ፥ ያንን፥ ሳይቃወሙ፥ በእንደራሴ፥ ነበር ፥ የሚተዳደሩት።)
