Abi Ahmed Plans Possibly Brutal and Long Game

[DR OSMAN]

It's obvious Abi Ahmed in Ethiopia is playing a long game. He wants to be a menguistu 2 and setting up the conditions to support that. Today he has disarmed regions, he will take a leaf out of tigray book and store it in Oromia. Next he may go after regional tv to ensure it's cancelled or controlled by him to control the public. Thirdly he will centralize the schools to ensure the future generations are never a threat to his rule. He brilliantly used eritea-amhara to bring in tigray and tigray striked back demanding amhara is reigned in. What is DDS plan?

Does it look like we have any options to choose between? Thank you for pointing out the obvious

In all seriousness, our only hope is to that the gov't will always have someone to fight against, who are willing to sacrifice themselves. It seems unlikely, as Oromos are the only ones left and the gov't is lead by an Oromo. Hopefully the Amhara 'resistance' continue, as there are no other realistic plans out there.

Realistically speaking, the only way he could be brought down is if several of the major ethnic groups decide to forge an allegiance to topple him. And you don't need to pick up arms to yield results through this.

Regarding the media plan, they're already controlled. The reg'l gov't issued a ban on prominent foreign medias, until they registered with the gov't to operate. This is the first stage, as it will only continue further in this direction going forward.

Then it will be regional tvs, then education(ensure no future threat from new generation).

@Garaad.XIV all africans emulate colonials while criticizing them to the society. Weak state organs, weak rule of law, weak auditing, always power lies with 'men' that are fallible, prone to personal interest or clan/ethnic which makes their state deemed unpredictable/risky to allies-partners-investors-creditors. Then u have clowns like kenya president criticizing why sub sahara africa get charged 50 times the interest on loans compared to strong system weak politicians type of country.

It’s looking like Abiy will be running the Horn for the foreseeable future. He’s insanely good at defanging his enemies, I’d support him if he was a Muslim.

The worst part of his education plan, is the Amharization of school curriculums. He suffers from an unhealthy obsession with that language, that he wants to continue dominating the country. Not just linguistically, but also culturally. It's all part of the 1 nation, 1 people, 1 culture etc. He reminds me of Ataturk with the Turkification of minorities.

Preserving cultural/religious identity is important to a 'certain limit' where it's not disadvantaging your populace to access knowledge and investor confidence and 99% of that is in the english world. That's why I advised puntites to update their constitution official languages to be english and somali and schools become dual languages so our students are not disadvantaged. But no1 will listen to the mad doctor and wonder why kenyans/south africans/nigerians are always ripe 4 investors relative to these nations who are 100% ethnic nut cases or suffer from severe identity fears.

The plan is to turn Ethiopia into a state that is united under one unified culture and people. He has been trained by the elite who see that region in the horn as a crucial part of the new “Silk Road”. To them (world elite) Somalia and Ethiopia must join as one nation because one has the access to the coast while the other has the population and market to profit from.

Really?!?!

One thing about Ethiopian muslims in power, they'll always stand in the line with the same Ethiopianist dogma. Nothing will change. Even if they were to enforce anti-Islam policies. They would gladly do so. Remember Meles Zenawi and his anti-Sunni rhethorics. His gov't had many significant muslims cabnet ministers staying quiet throughout all of those decisions.

@GaradShabeel @Step a side have u noticed nigerians/ghana/south africans/kenyans lead sub sahara africa even tho they were primitive and lacked any real history before colonials? well is it ironic their all english colonies? same as india/malaysia/singapore lol. English dominion means they have better grasp of the language which 99% of knowledge is in and therefore more appealing to investors when they compare it relative to other parts of sub saharan africa.

The anti-colonial-anti british parts of africa just look at them in comparison to british colonial areas, if u dont see a difference your blind. Plus the ethnic nutcases in the horn are always at the bottom, fascism is dead, we need to move on

Isin't English already taught at schools in PL?

In Ethiopia, from grade 1-8, it's in the mother tongue of the student. Aside from that, you have to take Amharic as a second language.

Then in high school and university, it's totally in English. Which is not really bad as most seem to comprehend the two languages by then as it's a great balance between the languages. (Except the fact Amharic is obligated for everyone). Unlike in Kenya, which is until third grade (?) and in Djibouti, it's almost exclusively in French.

Though, I believe that PL and Somalia should only keep Somali as an official language. You don't need to have English as an official language, for us to learn it.

By the time they reach university it's to late and that's probably why their universities are pretty low grade and lack real academic quality. It has to happen while their young, so by the time they reach university it comes natural not 'forced' or them 'thinking or translating' between languages as their learning.

Why do we have to use the English language or Anglophone country as a metric, as to who we should follow suit? Most western countries don't even have English as an official language. Yeah, they may speak it but that's as far as the limit of the language goes.

You're overestimating the value of the English language and contributing to wrong aspects of those countries.

@GaradShabeel u wonder why djibouti progress is no different to other parts of french dominions. The investors/knowledge world is english and their not going to any dominion where it's another colonial culture.

I totally agree. English have a high importance in this globalized world we live in, with its great share of benefits. I'm personally just not onboard with fully transferring to an English curriculum, and prefer to remain Somali to a high degree.

Paul Kagame updated his countries working language to english. Communication is a huge part of investor confidence, and how are they going to learn industry skills or be presented to investors? all investors whether anglophone use english as their business lingua franca, so even if u try to escape british the rest of the world is using it in it's business.

Plus all the books are in english. Plus our largest diaspora are in english world, we r harming ourselves becuz gen z and their kids wont come back becuz they can't speak the language or connect and fuel the west with their human capital, while the locals will just die off when old generation die and be left to their local dynamics and fascism mindset and ethnic insecurities.

I see a whole generation in our diaspora who need to be able to feel comfortable and return and not feel its foreign to them and thru that middle ground they can both exchange and grow to learn each other tongue, but if the relationship is 99% noone knowing the tongue,they will just return to abroad and they will become like african americans.

I concur. I do believe that it has also contributed to the 'success' of Ethiopia, if we view it from how well it 'developed' and managed to grow its economy during the time, since the turn of the century, with double-digit GDP growth per year.

More people had access to school after the DERG regime, which staled the economy in many ways. And thus opened up to the world with its liberalization of laws and economy. More global companies have decided to invest there. And more employment opportunities for the locals. Fun fact: many jobs in the country require English skills to be employed as well.

@GaradShabeel look at haiti beautiful french colony their eating god damn 'mud biscuits' lol compared to Jamaica, yes Jamaica isn't perfect but relative to french colonies it's leaps n bounds ahead. No colonization was good but not all colonies are equal. Sometimes some old timers argue a productive colony where it's mutual benefit is better then an unproductive independence like afghanistan

True. Look at Italian Eritrea vs. British Somaliland. The Italians left a great footprint in terms of development, which the country relies on until today. While in the british colony (or protectorate as some like to call it to feel better about themselves, kkk), they hardly contributed anything development-wise. Or anything worthwhile, to my knowledge.
