Please watch my interview above.

In my interview, I provide a strategic understanding of the geopolitical motivation to use HR 6600 as a means to force Prime Minister Abi Ahmed to submit to U.S. demands in the Horn of Africa.

Important topics discussed include:

• Is the Ethiopian government aware that HR 6600 is part of a good cop/bad cop manipulation by the U.S. State Department?
• Will the U.S. succeed in weakening the government of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali and promoting the continuation of ethnic federalism?
• Will the National Dialogue succeed in elevating the concept of Ethiopian citizenship above ethnicity?
• Ethiopian Constitution has to be re-written to eliminate ethnicity as regional political force in government.
• It is essential for Ethiopia to chart its own course for economic development.
• It is in the interest of the U.S. to end sanctions and support economic development in Ethiopia to reduce poverty.
