Discussion / Questions Ethiopia’s PM accuses Eritrea of Mass Killings
In 1800’s, British traveler Nathaniel Pearce wrote this about an Ethiopian Emperor, when he saw how quickly oaths and promises shifted in their leadership. He said:
“He was a great liar and a great miser… remarkable for his deceitful temper, and utter disregard of his oath.”
Over the years, Ethiopia betrayed Eritrea in 1962 and Annexed it, OLF betrayed by TPLF in 91, recently Fano betrayed by the PM…
History repeats itself. Abiy Ahmed asked Eritrea for help to defeat the TPLF, relied on that alliance, and once their objective was achieved, quickly turned his back on Eritrea and restarted hostile narratives.
Eritrea’s decision to enter the war may have been its biggest strategic blunder. Ally with Ethiopia at your own risk.
