Congratulations for getting God's favour and grace for a 2nd chance. It is good that now you have chosen the path of forgiveness, reconcilation and peace and for releasing some high profile prisoners and ordinary Tigrayans from prison. Understanding the fact that leading Ethiopia with conflicting interests and historical narratives is very complex only following the road map of God can guarantee your success. Do not yield to further temptations of using your sword to bring Ethiopia to unity by force . Emperor Thedros and others had tried it but failed. Discussion and participation of all stakeholders in a peaceful manner is the only way out for Ethiopia.Your government is highly infested with corruption and you should not have any illusion that you will bring prosperity to Ethiopia with such very corrupted civil servants. Send a team to Nigeria and learn how a corrupted culture could destroy a resource rich country. The water issue with Egypt is the main external destabilizing factor for Ethiopia. You can only solve that by appreciating the concern of Egypt and coming up with innovative commercial water share agreement that could enable both Sudan and Egypt to jointly invest with Ethiopia on the construction of more dams to create water bank on the more than 400 km Abay Gorge. Limit foreign interference on the internal affair of Ethiopia including from Isaias. I wish you and your family God's protection and guidance as you lead the country forward.
