Ethiopia and the USA are two different countries in opposing directions: the former is where I came from, notorious in begging for food assistance from the world community and the later where I live now is in opposite direction which is known to waste. But they have one thing in common: aggression. Ethiopia is fast becoming a pariah nation which rejected the border demarcation with Eritrea and illegally occupied part of Somalia; where as the USA invaded two countries causing hundreds of thousands of death, millions of streaming refugees and instability around the world. The poor country of Ethiopia now switched from Soviet Union in Mengistu’s time to the USA under Meles Zenawi as a client state working for bread. Both former and the later dictators of Ethiopia ruled the country with iron feast leading that hopeless country into laughing stock of the world.
The world is experiencing difficult time than ever before: disease, war and climate change are among the top threats for human existence. It doesn’t help countries going to war for dwindling resources through the new “War on Terror” motto. America can violate any country it wants to under that motto now so is Ethiopia. Both have claimed their fight is just and will fight “terrorists” (Muslims) until victory achieved (Muslims relinquish their sovereignty). USA under the mass murderer George W. Bush still gearing up for more war with Iran and North Korea after the Midterm election, this on top Iraq and Afghanistan. Ethiopia already has its own share of Somalia and Eritrea too.
History teaches both countries will fail to accomplish their goal. Iraqi small population of “Sunni” Muslims are giving the bully a bloody nose, where as in Afghanistan the ragtag Taliban would refused to go away to the dustbin of history. Ethiopia will at the end be forced to come back to its senses and withdraw its troops from Eritrea and Somalia by force just like the USA would.
