I live in Germany.  I meet lots of Eritreans who have fled to Germany.  Especially the young men.  I see them in groups on the streets and greet them.

Ehhhhhhh Charlie

If one takes Martin Plaut's argument at face value he may be right a country as ethnically diverse as Ethiopia should not exist, meaning almost every country in Africa should not exist..so one may ask, could this be part of the grand Western plan to keep Africa in constant turmoil ❓ If Ethiopia is not viable, how would Kenya with 40 or so ethnic family be viable ❓ how would a tiny Eritrea with 9 ethnic groups be viable, Tanzania with 200 or so and so on and on...❓From hydro politics point of view it is pretty clear why Ethiopia is a Target, but I just wonder why  Ethiopian statehood is seen as unique and ethnic warriors are endorsed in a manner people like Martin are doing ❓  Clearly  there is an age old appetite from all corners to see Ethiopia disintegrate although unlike many others around it Ethiopia seems stubborn, but I just can not see it stop at Ethiopia..the domino effect is too clear to see.."Oromia republic" will eventually claim half Kenya, "Afar republic" will eventually claim half Eritrea and so on and I am not  surprised to see some sane African leaders such as Uhuru Kenyata nervously running around to make peace...Martin plaut's full time dedication to see a disintegrated Ethiopia should be taken with a pinch of salt..No one with a right mind would glorify an architect Meles Zenawi whose plan has brought an untold misery to the very people he claimed to free, the people of Tigray‼️
My question to Martin is by his own false claim Ethiopia was at  Berlin conference and Ethiopia is creation of "imperialist" Minilik...so the rest of African states? is your argument to say a nation can only be legitimate if created by white colonialist ❓ Is Minlik's offense being black "imperialist ...❓ what is your point..I can see a W supremacy at play and trying to erase that painful history of having been defeated by a black King ‼️

The whole  world accepted fragmentation of medieval  Empires living afterwards  in peace with  neighboring states;
While Ethiopians elites are stuck  &  obsessed  to the old  medieval emperial  mentality of expansionism,  making Ethiopia  today as
the  main source of instability in the  region.

Martin plauet was  a great historian specially knowing about Eritrea  and the horn of Africa. I believe everything Martin had been saying about the dictator Essays  who is the cause of our problem. One day he is here and the next day on the other side.  I don't like his leadership in Eritrea. Martin you've got a lot of support from the people wants to have peace.

That is because the international communities want to  build peace.

The natur of northern Ethiopia  .

Having lived in Eritrea and Ethiopia for almost 3 years in the mid 60's, it is sad what is happening there now.  I was always treated well and enjoyed my reltations with the locals I met in my travels.  Isaias is a typical freedom fighters.  A great liberator, a terrible leader after the fight is over.  His pride is overriding the chance to really develope Eritrea and have good relations with their neighbor, Tigray and Ethiopia.   Of course, Abiy Ahmed is just as bad.   Ethiopia has grreat potential.  The Chinese seem to be the only country that Abiy Ahmed will accept help from and there is a price for that.
