Mahboub: Clash of Egos Caused the War in Ethiopia

[Deeq A.]

Nairobi (PP News Desk) — The former IGAD Executive Secretary Mahboub Maalim described the civil war in Ethiopia as a complicated situation born out of “sibling rivalry”.

Ambassador Mahboub: The civil war in Ethiopia resulted from a clash of egos.

“I know all these people personally. So I don’t want to believe that there is anybody among the groups who are now warring that would not talk to any other person. These are colleagues. They worked in the same government for a very long time. They know each other. These are ego issues. And there’s no time for ego at this point in time in the history of their country and the history of our region. It’s sibling rivalry. And that’s why we require an elder brother who, in this case, must be the leadership in our region” said Ambassador Mahboub in an interview with the Nairobi-based SpiceFM.

The Government of Ethiopia has rejected calls for de-escalation and talks with TPLF.
