I have just published the following view stating why Eritrea is the most backward country today in the world.
The backward entity will remain what it was for the last near to 4 decades: a place where conflict is brewed and exported to the neighboring states of the region. It will never get tired of such act of stirring conflicts in the region. The current regime in Eritrea has never exported any product or services to the rest of the world, only conflict to its neighbors.I was wondering myself about how the Oromo politicians managed to get to the top from the bottom, when we know OLF achieved nothing in terms of its original goals, as we all may agree here, including yourself.
Shabia was considered the senior of the collection, while TPLF was seen as the second senior after Shabia, which managed to achieve the original goal of liberating Eritrea, be that a wrong goal or right one. It did achieve the goal. Woyane didn't manage to liberate Tigray, instead it settled itself for overtaking the power at the center of the state as a compromise to the original goal.
OLF on the other hand didn't achieve either of what the two achieved, neither liberating Oromia, nor overtaking the power at the center.
Still Oromo politicians managed to shine over their counterparts from the North, both Shabia and Woyane are now the underdogs of the lion Oromo politicians.
But why? I asked myself.
There is the idea that came to my mind: Oromo politicians started to de-OFLize the Oromo politics, it might have paid back at the end to enable them to achieve the power at the center now, shining in the whole region and beyond.
Tigrean politicians have just embarked on the much overdue task of de-Woyanization (or de-TPLFize) of their politics. We hear now for the first time ever about a serious split of the TPLF, which used to be unthinkable until now. This is a very good sign for the future of Tigrean politics. A free will of the people is the basics of further development, needless to say here.
For comparison OLF was already splitted into upwards of may be 20 or so entities at this time, when Tigreans just sensed what is at stake here, effectively rendering OLF the original into a meaningless entity, enabling the people to have a choice. That was the key, I thought to myself.
Shabia not only lagging in this regard, it is said the entity where things are rolling back and this still dominates the political landscape of Eritrea. In this case there is no sign of any de-Shabiazation of Eritrean politics. This leads to the stagnation of any change in Eritrea. A backward entity can never lead anything to progress. Shabia is doomed, if Eritreans are not brave enough to embark on de-shabiazation of their politics, then they too are doomed. This doesn't need a rocket scientist to predict accurately.
