The problem is that Ethiopia does not have smart diplomats like Aklilu Habtewold and Blata Efrem Tewelde Medhin who are creative and articulate that they can be capitalizing on many leads with Israel, USA, Russia, China, France, Britain and the whole Europe.
The diplomats could have easily hit hard on the concept of the Arab Muslims expanding and surrounding Ethiopia to weaken the Christians, by riding on the the fake Arab wannabes or the elite Arab Abid slaves in Eritrea, Somalia and Sudan.)
