Abiy Ahmed, Isaias Afwerki & Farmaajo are the real threat to the entire Horn of Africa countries.
The Horn of Africa is one of the most complex and conflicted regions of the world. Each of the countries of the Horn—Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Sudan, South Sudan and Somaliland —suffers from protracted political strife, arising from local and national grievance, identity politics and regional inter-state rivalries.
The roots of conflicts in Horn of Africa can be primarily said to have been caused by a multiplicity of factors such as: arbitrary borders created by the colonial powers, historical grievances, heterogeneous ethnic composition of African states, incompetent political leadership, corruption, negative effect of external influence, debt burden and poverty.
However, this time round, the real threat to the entire East Africa region’s security, stability, development and economic growth is not necessarily posed by the ever growing Chinese, Russian, Turkish and UAE involvement in this strategically important Horn of Africa region.
The real threat to the whole east African region’s stability that the world have to deal with is coming within the region itself!!
If you look very closely at the way in which Abiy Ahmed, Afawerke and Farmaajo behave, their moral decay and their impulsive policy decision making, you come to realize that these trio pose the greatest danger to the Horn of Africa countries.
From psychological, behavioral and emotional aspects, Abiy Ahmed, Afawerke and Farmaajo interestingly display a numerous unique and eye-catching common characteristics such as:
• They make a lot of sudden, irresponsible and thoughtless life-changing decisions. When their plan falls apart, they do not want to be accountable for their wrong actions and failures and they always point a finger at others.
• They aggressively want to achieve their motive by doing anything and everything within their reach and at the expense of killings of their own people.
• They have no regard for the safety and suffering of others. They show no single remorse to the killings of thousands and displacement of millions as long as their actions are justified in line with their objectives and goals.
• They intentionally conspire and sabotage with the external enemies at the expenses of their own country and people, only to meet their greed for staying in power.
Last year (2020), the three despotic, unpredictable and bloodthirsty leaders; Isaias Afwerki of Eritrea, Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia and Mohamed Abdullahi (Farmaajo) of Somalia have formed a very sinister axis called the Horn of Africa Cooperation (HoAC) deal, through which they seriously want to achieve the following six major objectives:
1. A total domination and subjugation of east Africa nations. In particularly, they are fully in agreement to eliminate those nations in the region seeking to become democratic constitutional states where fundamental human rights are respected and the rule of law is adhered to,
2. Terrorizing and annihilating of those nations attempting to exercise their fundamental rights for self determination,
3. To become patrons of the Nile waters, the owners and gatekeepers of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden sea lanes gateways,
4. To minimize Western interests and influence (in any kind) in the region,
5. To ward off blind and unsolicited Western interference into the internal affairs of African countries,
6. To rebuild and speed up a close and comprehensive, strong and multifaceted relations with the emerging new alternative world powers such as China, Russia, Turkey, Iran, UAE, India, etc.
CONCLUSION:
The leaders of Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia; who have become addicted to Chinese predatory loans and Russian AK-47 diplomacy, can be easily straightened or crooked by the new global powers as per their will where they (Horn of Africa leaders) will remain years to come in the firm grip of their new-found bosses.
I do believe that the formation of the so called ‘”Tripartite Axis of Horn of Africa Cooperation”, which I call it as “the AXIS of CRUELTY and CARNAGE” is a major and an imminent danger to the coexistence of multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-cultural population in Horn of Africa who lived peacefully side by side for centuries.
To put in a net-shell, Abiy Ahmed, Isaias Afwerki & Farmaajo are the real threat to the entire Horn of Africa countries.
