The core problem remains that the so called superpowers never like to see any nationalist figurehead of the so called third world, who puts the interest of his nation ahead of theirs.
In the case of Ethiopia there is an additional key factor with the geopolitics of the region and its strategic location playing well into the calculation.
They are (their policy is) incompatible with any nationalist heads of nations, this is very clear, just look around the world and tell us if there is any nationalist leader they happen to admire. Never!
Ethiopia has a choice to make the right decision in time.
