At the same time Isayas is almost as old as 2 times that of Abiy, he has been in power almost 6 times as long, has achieved next to zero on the ground for the people he claims to lead in all of that time, life is unbearable as ever, there is no hope in that tiny land on earth, the fake country is devoid of any young people, everybody wants to leave at the next opportune time, and many other criteria, the man lags miles behind Abiy in all counts. You can imagine how much resentment on part of the old dude that sort of condition may create.
That could be also part of the reason why he opted to stay away from Abiy, even when we know that Abiy tried to bring him in from the cold, where he had been for decades before that.
The guy can only foment conflict in the region, the whole of his life that is where he excelled and still he looks like not able to live without it.
