Ethiopia and Eritrea agree to restore relations

[2Quik4UHoes]

I called it 6 months ago. They will use an obama oromo to quell protesters and he will use fake gestures.

His gestures not looking so fake though.

The gestures should be as real as possible. The less politically astute can be swayed by goodwill gestures. It’s worked like a charm too, all the same DC cabbies I would see complaining and crying revolution all got Abiy shirts on like some damn stans.

Ethiopians always need some godly savior to come from the sky tho, the government knows that better than anyone. If he’s really real, we will see soon enough.

This hurts Egypt a lot which is good.

Who knew that peace could strategically undermine Egypt

Obama opened my eyes to how gullible people can be.

Genuine or not Abiy is a political genius. The military must be pissed, they got outmaneuvered by their own puppet.

Economic development, fair distribution of wealth and improved security is all that people want.

Eritreans are the most battle hardened people in Africa. This will be a complete change of pace for many citizens with this new deal

 

[ultraflexed]

my bad. I always thought they were the same. Sorta like North and South Korea. Never learned the origins of their beef.

They are the same, they only became separate when Eritrea was surrendered to the italians

Eritrean women are gorgeous. That’s the only input I have in this

Facts.

Yeah but what's in it for Ethiopia?

Free port and the ability to lessen the dependence on Djibouti port and rail way

Making those executive decisions but it’s nots just him, he has the support of the OPDO and AMDN

Bro, the fanaticism is ridiculous. We’re a loving people and wear our feelings on our sleeve. Not always a good thing

Exactly, but the question will Be jow Eritrea comes out from the cold. Will Isayas be willing to give up an endless supply of military soldiers?

Why were they beefing? Ain't they the same ethnicity?

Same ethnicity but different nationalities/nation state

 

[GodinDaFlesh]

Africans can't afford pointless beefing anymore

This move proves to me more than anything that Abiy is not window dressing but a personification of an internal coup in Ethiopia. The OPDO really does run the show in EPRDF and Ethiopia now. There is no way a TPLF stooge would sign off on this. Unlike for TPLF, the Eritrea conflict holds little personal or territorial value for Oromos, so the negative repercussions of a a reapprochement far exceed the positives.

The drivers of the internal coup and the rapid reforms were political instability and economic malaise, including much reduced foreign investment. Abiy seems to be slowly reversing this, particularly with Oromos but there remains heavy instability in the hinterlands. If he is to truly save his own party and the country from further upheaval, he will need to seriously address it. Nonetheless, he is definitely the boldest leader the region has seen in a very long time and it’s an exciting time with new possibilities that were unimaginable weeks ago.

Have they caught those who tried to assassinate him a few weeks ago?

 

[Goat poster]

My ex was Eritrean and her and her cousins would get so made at me when I questioned the beef with Ethiopia, I would say they were the same people and they would be like NO!!!!

They would say “our family has stories of relatives being tortured, raped, and mutilated in these wars”

I had to step back and realize how deep war cuts on these nations.

I hope they can have peace.
