PM Abiy Ahmed was heard commenting about the reaction from others when it comes to the country's quest to regain its sea access rights, which has been denied for over 30 years during the current phase of an attempt to keep Ethiopia "land-locked" (which is nothing but an equivalent of saying putting it in a (geographic) prison. Many say, he commented, "yeah, but..." (አዎ፤ ግን...).

I live in a different culture and the use of it didn't surprise me when I heard the expression, "yeah, but....". It seems the PM is puzzled by that sort of reaction, both at the meaning and also at the usage levels of the expression. I lived through it and life has helped me understand what that sort of expression is meant to convey.

Simply put it is an outward expression of the deep-seating human trait known as dishonesty. Dishonesty is not an exception, rather the norm in some corners of this world. Through dishonesty people drive the ultimate motto of deception and manipulation, the whole of what we call international relations is based on deception. And the use of such language could only be part of the over all scheme of deception.

I am not working in the field of international diplomacy but just from what I hear on the media the so called food aid is a good example, as far as my conviction with regard to deception is concerned. It is never mean to help, it is a means to control for the simple reason that if you really wanted to help, then you would go on and enable the recipient of the aid to help itself instead of keeping it aid dependent for ever. For many decades we hear and read each passing day about the "generous aid" given to somebody in some corner of this world, including Ethiopia. But simply ask yourself about the simple question why we remained aid-dependent for all that long time despite of the "generous" aid granted to us over those many decades? You may differ in your opinion but for me the simple reason why we remained poor is because the "generous aid" is a means of deception (to control) not to help.

The world has never been a just place, it is a place where might is right. Never miss this simple fact! Through might you control, when you can no more control then you have lost the upper hand. In the absence of just world, never expect somebody recognizing the right of over 130 Million souls deserving an access to a maritime trade, which is considered incontestable for the rest of the world.

Ethiopia was kept aid dependent for generations with purpose, I don't think the PM will miss this simple fact. In that case, I don't think he should be puzzled by such sort of expression in encounters with he so called "diplomats".

Add the following video to what I have said above, if you may find a free slot of time.

I refused to believe Abiy is that stupid and dumb. He is in a deep crisis, and he has to diversion tactics. No country in the world will give you their sovereign land, let alone their sea out late, I mean no country.

You dived directly into what is simply keeping you awake the whole night. The topic is not if Ethiopia may get sea outlet or not, it is totally about different issue.

Why don't you look for a club of your likes? This topic is obviously way above what you can entertain.

The other deceptive method of domination, which is as clear as the aid policy, is the so called "human rights", which is centrally controlled and disseminated to the wider world as a pure tool.

People who never care about human rights that is violated amidst their own local citizens and dominions will suddenly become a big issue when it is said about far away places of the world, mostly when it comes to the so called developing countries. Many striving economies of the world have been debilitated by such ill-guided cover of human rights protection, where the witnesses and the judges reside in one and the same body.

The unjustness' starts at home. How many millions of Ethiopians have been displaced by Oromos just because they are not of the right ethnicity? Over a hundred thousand Ethiopians lost their homes in Addis alone because Abiy wants to build a palace or wants to get rid of Amharas. We hear, on a daily basis, of scores of Ethiopians being massacred. How many millions have been languishing in displacement camps for the past five years. I am not talking about Tigrayans who invited the disaster on themselves but poor innocent Amharas and other ethnics. And yet, Abiy has never visited a single displacement camp to show his empathy for their suffering. I remember his cruel words when he declared that more people are killed in the USA than in Ethiopia. So when you complain about the world not being a just place, remember that one of the most unjust places is Oromia for those who are not Oromos and perhaps even for the Oromos themselves!

I was thinking today about another key point of deception, a well-designed scheme of making poorer nations devoid of bright minds, which is technically called brain drain (you drain something by sucking the content) and something came to my mind: why is Prof. Berhanu Nega not creating at least few so called elite universities in the country. This is a very important idea in my view, I have already written my view on the topic before a number of years on this very forum. Without an elite university you can never achieve a substantial gain of knowledge that could propel the country out of the quagmire it finds itself since over many years. If somebody is in a position, then that somebody should be Prof. Berhanu Nega and we don't have time to lose, I think.

At school level there are already a number of more quality schools in the country, I think they perform already substantially much better than the rest of schools as have been proven by the rate of ESLCE passing scores.

But those "elite" students are sent to the same university where the mass is admitted to and the gain these students have achieved during their stay at those better performing schools is undone and there is no option of differentiation. This should be missing an opportunity of building on the gains the students have already achieved during their stay in the respective schools. If you keep one bright student and less bright student together, then the chance of keeping the pace of the brighter is substantially reduced.

Then I just came across this video and remembered what I have been thinking before that. Professor Berhanu said "education is universal", which is very true but in our country it was also equated with an asset of the villages, which is unfortunate and will going to hurt the country in the long and medium terms.

The possibility of having one's own elite university will also curb the devastating effects of brain-drain, we have no time to lose. Prof. Berhanu and others in the government decision making chain should seriously consider this option without any delay.

They come to our land and recruit the young and bright children of the country to their own benefits in the name of granting quality education and Ethiopia is a vivid testimony of such a deception. If they cared about us, then why didn't devise any mechanism that could ensure that those most brilliant children of the nation also go back and serve their country and people? Unless it is truly a well-designed deception to hurt in the name of giving a benefit?

Here we see the poor Ethiopian nation and its leaders offered a scholarship to African students during the era of colonialism in order to help the recipients to get the necessary education and go back and help build their own respective country, not to attract the bright citizens of other countries and stay in the country and help the source of education itself (a brain drain scheme).

On the contrary the rich western countries of today offer scholarship to many young and bright citizens of developing countries to get hold of them still today. Is that by a mere coincidence?

Think again!
