    …. and so, it goes without saying, it will also go to the good old USA. So too to the European Union. So will to any coutry that tries to BENEFIT from the lopsided relationship with Ethiopia. That is the norm of interenatinal relationship! It has always been so for time immemorial. Ethiopia must look after itself for the benefit of its own people – without being antagonistic to other Nations. The game is to be smart.

    In such a game, Ethiopia cannot afford to be antagonistic to EACH OTHER, due to internal-sociological differences, and become enemy of each other, thus shredding each other into pieces. If that is the intention of Ethiopia, the field is wide open to prove the already proven phenomenon that eradication of each other requires >>> no thinking >>> no education >>> nor any sort of knowledge.

    By the way, the consequences of such a catastrophe will not be restricted within the geographical boundaries of Ethiopia. It is just like blazing fire next to neighbours’ houses. May the Good Lord, somewhere up in Heaven, have [for a change] a little passion of mercy to his faithful , obedient Black African People. THE END

  2. What MrMs rezen urged to comment is vague to me. It’s natural assigning ambassador in every nation, so what is wrong with that? We Ethiopians should feel that we maintained a great opportunities and flickering hope that is pledged by the famous leader of our world, Mr. Putin. He remarked that he will make a strong bond with our nation. And that, nowadays, is very important to secure Ethiopia in every circumstances.
