Statement by Ethiopian Foreign Ministry, Meaningless!

We have noticed that a wrong and unacceptable image of the Map of Africa has crept in on the Web site of the Ministry of Foreign of Affairs of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. Upon becoming aware of the matter, we have immediately removed it from our Website. Please, be assured that Our ICT Team is working to ensure the security of the Website.
We sincerely regret for any confusion and misunderstanding this incident might have caused.

All this time I thought this was all a bad joke. Sincerely.

Since they did not say they were hacked this was a trial balloon for sure.

 

All that secret talks by Afwerki, Abiy and Farmaajo was for this empty Arab project.

Che,

Nation states as we know them today are creations of Foreign powers. So, which ever way your slice it or dice it, you cannot escape the facts about how they came about and their historic background.

Having said that, the keyword that one needs to keep in mind is 'soveriegn rights' of foreign powers towards their foreign possessions.

With regards to Italy, it was a long held goal and plan to create one Pan-Italiana East Africa which included Ethiopia, Somalia and Eritrea, since the early days of Empror Menelik. That came true when the facist Benito invaded and defeated the Ethiopian Empror. For few years, Italy held the soveriegn rights of Ethiopia, Somalia and Eritrea. 

Whereas with regards to the 1940 invasion of Italy in Somaliland, even after occupation, they never enjoyed sovereign rights over Somaliland. It was regarded by the world powers at the time as an occupation.

 

The Ethiopians are masters in 'slowly but surely' train of thought. What began in 1994-97 as fighting Al-Itihad-Al-Islamiya group, is now morphed itself as the welcomed peace enforcers of South Somalia. The Ethiopian army now has permanent military installations in every region of Southern regions of Somalia including Jubada Hoose.

The ground work is there, but the fools from South Somalia are preoccupied with Somaliland.

It all makes sense that Cheeseman sold out to Ethiopia 4 ports, and Ethiopia building a navy. 

The French President's recent tour of Addis Abeba and Nairobi re-enforced this. In fact, he said that, Francce/EU will help Ethiopia and Kenya create their 'best scenario' for Somalia. 

I won't be suprised that they will lose the Sea to Kenya, parts of South Somalia to Ethiopia (Bay & Bakool clan). And to add insults to bad situation, Somaliland gains its indepdence.  

In Ethiopia the wheels have come off:

America which made the regime change has no money to give (actually Trump does not want to give any money. Others have to pay America let alone America to bribe anyone) and the Arabs are tired already since they wanted quick changes to Djibouti and Somalia and that is not achievable.

 

Internally it has proven impossible to change the structures the Tigray put in place. Federalism is so entrenched nobody wants to give up and actually each Kilil has now militia, police, special forces etc. On the contrary 3 Ethnicities are demanding to be Kilil a step up for them and nobody can stop them.

No country on earth have gone from federalism to unitary unless it breaks up.

Djibouti has outsmarted even the moneyed Arabs.

Tigray and Afar do not want Afwerki since all his dancing was only against them both. Even the Oromo now see Afwerki as enemy who tried to hoodwink them into fighting Tigray which they do not have any issues with.

The TPLF is still exercising huge influence in terms of economy and military. I was surprised when the Tigray regional administration overturned Abiye's call to withdraw Armed forces from the border. The heavily mechanised divisions were barred from leaving their stations by the regional president. 

I think that alone was a turning point for Afwerki who thought that Abiye will help him subdue and submit the TPLF on his behalf.

One of the key Amhara demands that is currently causing lots of headache of Abiye is the Constitutional Article 39 which talks about the 'self determination' of regional state. The Amhara want to remove this article from the constitution but the TPLF are save guarding it. 

It will be very interesting how this constitutional battle unfolds in the near future.

Tigrays are still the power elites. OO knows the truth. Abiye has become a total puppet as expected and the Amharas are furious he has not turned against the Tigray elites.

@galbeedi

As usual, you base your analysis on your wishful thinking. But the reality on the ground is complete opposite.

In fact, I am not too sure if your 'source told me' outsiders have any knowledge but the UN Security Council will appoint a new SRSG in the next month or so. One of the key mandates for the new SRSG is to finalise the issue between Somaliland and Somalia. 

In his recent speech, President MBC mentioned that the IC have come to the realisation that Somalia and Somaliland issue needs to be finalised. Equally the UN Security Council recently mentioned that Somalia's Constitution Review is stuck because of the issue between Hargeisa and Mogadishu. 

In the next few months, there is going to be a lot of movement regarding the finalisation of Somalia and Somaliland issue.
