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.
