THE SEEDS OF RESENTMENT AND FUTURE INSTABILITY IN ETHIOPIA

Recommended Posts

Indeed its growing reliance on force, instead of political solutions, are breeding more resistance, thereby endangering the unity and stability of the nation. At the same time, the TPLF agenda at present is the protection of its powers at any cost, which has become too costly for all citizens. In fact, that has forced TPLF to become inward looking, which has compelled it now to mend fence with Tigraians that it broke ranks with in 2001. Evidence of this is its increased resort to Tigranizing the power structures and the institutions of the country at the expense of other groups. Only when it is in difficulty the TPLF looks for more allies, unfortunately always at the wrong places.

Kenya’s leaders mistook silent rage with acquiescence, as it is now the case with the TPLF. In a similar way, Kikuyu leaders also assumed that nepotism, force, corruption and political deception are the only way for them to prolong their dominance and stay in power. In the eyes of the people and the laws of Kenya, this was not consistent with the laws of the land and democratic practices elsewhere. Kenyan politicians allowed resentment and frustrations to build to breaking point, until the genie got out of the bottle last December and vented its long repressed anger against Kikuyu narrow nationalism. There is valuable lesson should the TPLF be willing to take heed of it. After all, it has come with a huge cost in terms of Kenyan lives.
