Come hell or high water , but
No Ethiopian with a drop of blood in their veins would side with Ethiopia's sworn enemy, Egypt, or with Egypt's puppets, come hell or high water. The genuine question that needs to be asked is whether the love for Ethiopia and the willingness of its people to die for her are so expendable that every passing government can use and discard them at will.
A government worthy of its name—one that treats its citizens with respect, guarantees them human dignity, and dispenses justice to all—can call upon its people in the face of foreign threats, and we know how citizens would respond to such a call. But how can a government that batters and abuses its people like a foreign power—jailing them, dispossessing them, uprooting them, laughing at them, denying them protection, and treating them as foreigners in their own country—then turn around and ask them to come and die for their country? Yes, they may go, fight, and die, but can a wounded, abused, and mistreated citizen truly be an effective fighter? Isn’t the purpose of fighting a war to be motivated and to crush the enemy effectively?
We saw what happened at the end of the Derg era. For 18 long years, the Derg believed that Ethiopian nationalism could be sustained as long as the enemies were identified and the potential harm to the country was propagated. But at the same time, the Derg's cadres were making life for Ethiopians a living hell. Because of the grim situation under the Derg’s rule, some began to believe that anything was better than the Derg, and that is what helped the TPLF to land in Arat Kilo—a wishful outcome indeed.
The will to fight external enemies depends on the strength within, and that strength can only exist when citizens are treated as citizens and recognize well what they would lose if their enemies win. What needs to be done: At this time, we can be sure that a quasi-balance of power has been achieved. This means no single group can enforce its will on any other. So, the best way to defend the nation is to have a genuine conference that addresses all the political issues that have bedeviled our country for so long. A new democratic political arrangement should be established that matches the Ethiopian people's aspirations. The emphasis must be on "genuine." Anything else will be very costly in both the short run and the long run.

Stop throwing up your diarrhea of the mouth over here. We all know Ethiopians haven't got a single drop of love for Ethiopia, unless they're far'ting in their sofa in the West.

Re: Come hell or high water , but
I mostly agree, however, governments come and go. I think the current regime makes it very difficult for one to be patriotic and be motivated. But think long term. Not emotionally like many Ethiopians here are who are so blinded by the same tribalism they allegedly disavow, that they can't see the bigger picture. The govt of course shared the lions share of the blame.
Abiy will eventually be gone, but the need for Ethiopia to use its resources will always remain. Egypt will always see the Nile as their personal property, or at least that's how it seems.
Even if the greatest man ever were to rule Ethiopia, and had all ethnic groups holding hands, there'd be problems.
There'd be certain counties seeking to keep Ethiopia poor and trapped in perpetual conflict, as usual.

Your incoherence is baffling. You throw out snippets of statements and expect people to pretend that they know what you mean. The tribal mindset that throws you off balance and out of rational thought is entirely to blame. In your vocabulary, anyone who objects to your tribal king is labeled a "banda." According to you, only your tribal military leaders have saved Ethiopia from foreign aggressors, while other Ethiopians merely watch and fiddled their finger from afar —or worse, they were "bandas."
You are well aware that the chest-thumping of Oromumma has run its course and is now on its last leg. If it wants to have a chance of survival, it must abandon its archaic politics and join the 21st century. That is a true Federal democracy the kind that you seem to be enjoying 6000 KM from your kill. So leave your third rate propaganda and see things for what they are.
