Blinken concerned that Ethiopia could implode

 

There have been protests in Washington supporting the Ethiopian government and others supporting Tigray

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who is due in East Africa next week, has said that he fears that Ethiopia could implode if the civil war continues.

Discussing different ways forward, he told journalists in Washington DC that "out and out conflict... could lead to the implosion of Ethiopia and spill over into other countries in the region, and that would be disastrous for the Ethiopian people".

The other path, he said, was a ceasefire and negations - adding that the US was backing the African Union mediator, ex-Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Mr. Blinken is expected to leave for Kenya on Monday, where he will be discussing the situation in Ethiopia. He will also be going to Nigeria on his first official trip to Africa as Secretary of State.

The headline is misleading. The General only was referring to evacuating Americans, and others in Ethiopia.

Ethiopia’s Civil War Is a Problem U.S. Troops Can Help Solve

Sending peacekeepers to the pivotal nation of East Africa wouldn’t be popular domestically, but may be the only way to stop the conflict.

Not sure what to think of it? And what it would mean for the region.

Joint task force for the " Horn of Africa" sine when this force was established?. There is the African Command in Djibouti, but a new general just for us Somalis, Eritrea and Ethiopia, that is news to me.

Certainly the democratic party is the party of intervention. Despite their drum beat against Russia, they are making deals with him indirectly. Their main target is China, Horn of Africa and Turkey. I would take Trump any day compared to these neoliberal interventionists who want to police the world. They are more dangerous than the right wing barking dog who is inward looking these days.The current Nigerian president begged Obama to sell him some arms in order to defend his nation from the scrooge of the Boko Harem, but Obama refused, yet we had the African command flying bombing missions to destroy B.Haram.

In their address to the security council the AU is seeking a cease fire and objected any unconstitutional means to change the government. The Americans and others claim that Ethiopia is already a failed state due the destruction of the Ethiopian army by the TPLF. They believe the nature of the cease fire will determine what kind of Ethiopia will emerge.

THe TPLF is demanding a weak confederate and demilitarized Ethiopia which doesn't threaten Tigray and others. THey are also asking an arms embargo and international monitors.  On the other side , Abiy Ahmed will survive , but will preside a dysfunctional and weak federal state, and within two years will be flowed by the usual messy democracy and quarreling parties. Either way, the Tigray region could be the Kurdistan state America and Israel were trying to establish in the middle east since the gulf war. We could soon welcome the Kurdistan of the Horn of Africa.

Folks, the Ethiopia of the last 50 years where one group dominates others while promising change is over. A friend of mine told me today that the new Ethiopia politics could just look  like the one in Mogadishu within a year.

We can be sure of one thing, any American troop presence is never good. That has been the case since the Korean war.

Galbeedi, your new found love for Cabeey Amxaaro just for the sake of fear of the  TPLF is infounded. TPLF is to weak,   

 

As a Somali, and a firm beliver in a in non racist pan-somalism I do believe that correcting the horrible injustice that Meneliq and his neftegna Amxaaro commited against the low landers is reflection on  whats happening on the ground.

Dont read me wrong. I am not happy for the death and wars in neighboring states but the the french scholar and orientalist of ethiopian studies said in a recent interview "ethiopia is an empire that threw out the skeleton of the caste system that held it together".  Everyone who are in line with Ethiopias history knows which ethnic group he and caste group he he is referring to.

Asxaaavey, bal fikiraa, Odaygii boqorki bakhtiyay and who was buried in the table of Mengistu, Xayle said in a BBC-interview "we are a christian  nation, he then made claims to all of somalia, eritrea".  That was 50 years ago.  Things might be diffirent  but Galbeedi the peacefull dissolution of Ethiopia and it returning to pre-meneliq borders might be the best for peace and stabity for Somalis. Let them dissolve. Freedom for Oromiya and Cafarta.

Professor Merere Gudina, the oromo who has strong ties to the gaalada and whose ntelecctual non-violent activism turned the oromo cause into a secular one.  50 years ago Merera Gudina had to to take an amhara name and indeed he did so and was named dawit tekele untill 1991 when he changed his name back to the un-official one.

My point is, if the whole nomenklatura dead, just as it died in the soviets  let then it die.  We Somalis also regressed and failed to become ethno-nation state fashioned on Europe.  We  regressed back to a tribal lands that the colonialists found us 1888. P-land for m*ijerxxxteniya  Somali land for "hargeysa berbera burci" triangle", Southern Somalia with its mixed groups. Somalis have forgotten how the church Roma cathedral was built by forced labour that italians captured and chained.  They have forgotten how Xaafun used to the one of the most profitable salt producers in the world and how the italians forced with chains the in the ankle the building that port.

If we as one ethnic group with our multi-culturalism , regressed think about Ethiopia.!  Americans can do the talk but belive me  once a nation is armed to the teeth no one can stop its state collapse.  

2 days dago all of the ministers in Somalia had a briefing and they were discussing the events unfoldning in Somalia and the national Somali intelligence had a report (99,9 coming from the CIA).  The ministers were all in shock. 

The TPLF despite engaging in a war with cafarta armed to the teeth by flodding the whole nation with 10 tons of ak-47 and 20 tons of bullets. The report spoke about the collapse of the front and how armed militias and now basically running the regions.  In Oromiya it is the OLF-soldiers who are now the police . AFL- and the former Read sea front, are now the police and the region army.

The report also mentioned how the TPLF strategy had destablised Somalia. Bullets for ak47 costed 1 dollar per bullet, for one dollar one can now purchase 100 bullets. The hidden arms dealers of of Suuqaha Bakaara are now going to Assawarta and the cost of a Kalashnikov have droped by 50%.

The report strongly recommended the somali army to  stop the arms flooding from Ethiopia to Somalia. A certain popular  minister  with taste for classic somali ironic jokes cracked a joke and said "these americans have these details and know we cant even pass afgooye yet they want to close borders, are thet sane"?.

 

In summary, the best option for Ethiopia for us Somalis is that they sit and negotiate, the ones who wants to get out from the meneliq of Ethiopia should be allowed to follow article 39 and achieve freedom just as Eritrea did. Jigjiga should prepare fpr this. Hope fully they will join Somalia and become  a part of the politics of Mogadishu instead of Addis.

Somalia lost both NFD and West Somalia because of interventions from winners of world war 1 and 2. Blinken idea of future Ethiopia is backward, not forward. Nether Amhara. Tigray, Oromo and Somalis matter for him. If he finds Ethiopia's SISI, he will be happy. The Ethiopia future direction, you are talking about is not the table. Blinken is looking Sudan type of interventions, more or less  a Jordan style Ethiopia government. A government that relied on western aid but also take orders from donors.
