You have to embrace change - you cannot fight it

Post by justo » 05 Feb 2023, 05:29

The current crisis in Ethiopia is not a leadership crisis, it is a people's crisis. The country has the best leadership in ages, but the public is as volatile as ever. People change alliance with the wind, tagay becomes abatachin overnight, and somebody designed a criminal yesterday becomes talaqu meriachin today. Everybody wants to play a zero sum game, and be the winner all the time.

The country, the people, the church will all have to embrace change and learn to compromise. Anybody who comes out a winner out of this crisis will be the real loser. If the Amhara church leaders win, they will be the losers in the long run. If the Oromo church leaders win, they will be the losers in the long run. I really feel sorry for Abiy.

On the other hand, the empty talk of regional integration that Isaias has been pumping on us Eritreans can now be seen to be a chimera of similar sort as that tried by Gaddafi and Nasser.

Wow, you make it sound as if it is Isayas' fault. You make it sound that it is wrong to have ideals of regional integration. What the 80 years of struggle taught Eritreans is to try again and again until you succeed. It took 30 long years to have a free Eritrea. It took 20 years to erase the Agame threat. With spoilers bent on keeping Africans mired in crisis and conflict, it may take another 50 years to reach a stage of normalcy in the region. But great leaders like Isayas are not fazed by the challenges. It only strengthens their resolve. Imagine being an EPLF tegadalay in 1979 and you will get the idea.

It is not our agenda. Generations of Eritreans have expressed burning desire for independence, not burning aspiration for integration. In Eritrea, I've only heard this from Isaias. And yes, small countries like ours benefit little from regional integration, and benefit all the more from clear-cut demarcations.

J,
You are addicted to Ethiopia like an opioid drug.
Mind your own stateless, dysfunctional, only war for 30 years business.

Get out of tha Afar land, the only legitimate state in the Red Sea.

Deqi Atarit,

Just worry about your Agame cousins. They have lost a million hapless souls and need all the help from their cousins.
