Is Ethiopia’s disintegration inevitable?

[Illyria]

This deserves a thread of its own, with the following highlighted, lest secessionists fail to grasp for whom they wish to bare their derriere on the salsa rotunda (Not that they'll be able to relish its fillings, or appreciate its historical context).

-----------------------------------------

Status quo

Since Abiy came to power in 2018, multipronged wars have once again erupted between the Ethiopian state and its constituent nations, namely Tigray, Oromia, and Amhara, even with the help of a foreign, bloodthirsty antagonist, Eritrea, in Tigray.

The ongoing hidden war in Oromia was reenergized in 2018 within months of Abiy being named prime minister by the then-ruling party, the Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF).

The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), as the senior party in the EPRDF coalition, was forced to accept a new prime minister from a junior member, the Oromo People’s Democratic Organization (OPDO), due to the unrelenting struggle of the Oromo youth—known as Qeerroo/Qarree.

The new government quickly turned against the Oromo popular movement and denied the protesters’ demands. It adopted mass killing and imprisonment while systematically dismantling their peaceful struggle, effectively forcing many of them to join the armed resistance led by the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA).

When its attempts to obliterate the OLA failed, the Abiy regime turned to a state-sanctioned policy of “drying the pond to kill the fish.” It deployed the federal and regional security forces, Amhara and Oromo militias, and local settler Amhara groups in Oromia to loot, rape, and kill at will.

In the meantime, Abiy demolished the ruling party and formed a new party in 2019, the Prosperity Party, to promote his imperial ambition in the mold of emperors Menelik II and Haile Selassie I.

 

• Ethiopia was created as a dependent colonial empire with the assistance of European imperial powers in multipronged wars of conquest waged by Emperor Menelik II in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Independence will help Somali Galbeed escape the clutches of their occupiers, but who is Somaliland escaping from? Today the only one Somalis are escaping from anywhere outside of Ethiopia is abagandhe Muuse Bixiye. That should tell you everything.

So u believe Somaliland should be denied its statehood to determine their own future, but somali galbeed should  be independent if they independent they can choose to remain independent. and somaliland should be forced into the bunker is that what u saying

Again, 101 in irredentism strategy, case in point: Jibouti 1977. If we can not liberate an occupied Somali territory, we root for its independence, which buttresses said strategy. And where Somali territories exist to form a nation, so they shall remain, to further advance said strategy.

Did dear father not teach you that at home? O' darn it, your are one of those single-mother kids.

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

You had no say in Jabuuti ,, the people of jabuuti rejected the cancerous Somaliweyn ideology in 1977  if one believes in self determination  for one people , they should do the same for the othe people other wise it will stink of hypocracy 

[Illyria]

You have no idea how much Somalia sacrificed for Jibouti's independence, perhaps one of these days I shall educate you as to the back story. In the interim, you should read C/Rizaq X Xuseen's, and Qaybe's memoirs.

One of my relatives was killed by the French for assisting the liberation struggle.

Many of the problems with Somalis, is because of he civil war,  breaking down of system and society, we never honour those who sacrificed, and paid the ultimate price

Let us  NEVER forget
