Herman J. Cohen's statement on U.S. Secretary of State Blinken's contemporary act about Ethiopia

Post by AbebeB » 28 Apr 2021, 17:24

Herman J. Cohen: U.S. Secretary of State Blinken is right to call for #Ethiopia to stop fighting in Tigray. Further warfare will not meaningfully change the status quo – it will result only in more ethnic cleansing & civilian deaths, while setting back the entire country’s progress by decades.

PM Abiy earned the Nobel prize with a bevy of political reforms & detente with Eritrea. Senseless warfare and abuses in Tigray have practically erased that legacy. He should start working today towards the peace, democracy, and prosperity he promised for all of #Ethiopia. Abiy has unleashed a disaster he can no longer manage. Asking him to take some actions with the expectation that the humanitarian situation would improve is a failure to understand the disaster.

It is important that the international community come to grips with this fact. Abiy Ahimed should step down immediately & held accountable.As long as Abiy and dictator Isias Afeworki are in power, peace will never prevail in the Horn. The world must act urgently to save civilian lives.

Wow...that is strong coming from a former abiy champion. Wonder what he suggests as a replacement? Short of a transitional arrangement, my pre-disposition at this time is to atleast limit abiy's power by going back to collective leadership model that EPRDF once had that he single handedly dissolved.

The messianic complexed man-child has way too much power for his mind, hell will brake loose if he keeps exercising it! None of them at PP can handle that much power

gearhead,
  • I hope it this mission that Feltman, special envoy of Pre. Biden going to insist on Col. Abiy.
  • We all remember that it was the then delegate of Trump who first traveled to Minnesota to seek recommendation of Diaspora Oromos then to Asmera to materialize the dispatch of TPLF to Mekele and Abiy to the throne. Inevitably, we are gonna see this to happen soon.
  • Framajo's case is good exemplary phenomena happened a day a go.

Those would flirt with the demon will end up in the dust bin or suffer the consequence.

It looks like Farmaajo got lucky.

He got off the hook

Aba,
What is the real academic rank of these three dudes’: Col. Abiy, Pre Farmajao and Isaiah? Is Framajo the most educated among them?
I am saying this because Farmajao seems to violate their conspiracy to become dictators of the horn and decided to obey hi is nation.

According to Joshua 6:1–27, the walls of Jericho fell after the Israelites marched around the city walls once a day for six days and seven times on the seventh day then blew their trumpets. The only city that was destroyed by blowing a trumpet was Jericho. Herman cohen needs to read his torah for enlightenment. The question is dose Abiy has a spine to stand his ground? I doubt his narcissistic nature.

TGAA,
I agree with your first sentence. That was divine issue. But your ignorance is embedded in the last two sentences because the fact is that neither Mr. Cohn blew a trumpet (he only made scholarly comment) nor Abiy has a gut to stand the upcoming pressure (for we already witnessed this).

He was supposed to hold on to power by coming up with excuse like Mamo qillo. But, under pressure from inside and out, he faced reality. He got lucky; he will not end up in ICC like the two idiots
