Had peoples in Ethiopia not been allowed to govern themselves, I believe many political parties go tell their ethnic people that they are mishandled and sidelined in the politics of the country for much of the political elite that can dominate the scene is from few ethnic groups.
Don't deny that Ethiopia is ethnically diverse. To accept it as ethnically diverse country isn't bad. To let those nations and peoples administer themselves is to recognize their natural, birth gift right to lead and manage their issues.
To become united as Ethiopia, to form economically and politically strong country, should Amharas go to the south and take the leadership mettle? Do you expect the Oromo go to somali and lead them?
Why are we demanding for people to be unnaturally mixed through our tools while the simple thing is to accept them as they are?
What makes a nation united is not when we get mixed all across the country or that one ethnic group gets leaders from the others. No such scientific or natural fact is out here to claim so.
What enables any nation to form one economic and political unity is the cause they are tied with, the benefits they maximize when they stand together and the strength they amass as a singular regional and global power.
That is why countries all around the world seek alliances and unities.
The base of any political unity is interest not blood, the base of any political and economic unity is historical and cultural realities not how we are situated in the country. Unity can't be justified, I dare to reckon, when one ethnic group is administered by another ethnic group.
We can't change our blood, but I very much believe we can shape our paradigm to make our relations far better than it is now. When relations are mature and composed it is easy to make significant economic progress.
Let's leave our blood to rest in its natural context; rather it is very nice of us to question our faulty paradigms that send shocks through the political landscape.
So long!
