There is a general notion in certain quarters that some leaders in our continent are being sustained in power by Washington and London in particular with the explicit purpose of carrying out their peremptory orders. However, history proves beyond any shadow of doubt that Ethiopian leaders are not and had never been the errand boys of colonialist and imperialist powers. Even today there is ample reason to believe that Ethiopian leaders are promoting the vital national interests of their own country no matter which imperialist power is striving hard to compromise the sovereignty and territorial integrity of this most ancient land in pursuit of its own selfish national ends. As it may be recalled, fascist Italy had been leaving no stone unturned by way of trying to colonize Ethiopia between the 1880s and 1936 and had come to grief in this futile endeavour. The motto adopted by Benito Mussolini in the early 1930s when he had cast his evil eye on conquering and colonizing Ethiopia was that he who has steel has bread. According to the fascist leader, Italy had to expand or to explode, indubitably at the expense of Ethiopia a view being now vociferously echoed by Eritrean leaders. The first thing done by Il Duce in pursuit of his repugnant foreign policy was to order the occupation of Wal-Wal by his fascist troops 100km within Ethiopian territory in the east and to complain with typical Machiavellian duplicity to the League of Nations that this country, armed with no better weapons than sticks and stones fortified with indomitable patriotism, had committed nefarious acts of aggression against saintly Italy with tears in the eyes of his horde of fascist journalists. What Esaias Afewerki a latter-life disciple of Mussolini had done in May 1998 by forcibly occupying Badme was something no different in character from the Wal-Wal incident. Badme had been an integral part of Ethiopia from the dawn of its history; and the patriotic forces of the country had fought with valour and heroism to liberate Badme from two years of occupation by Eritrean troops. It is interesting to note that when the Wal-Wal incident was referred to a western border commission, its Solomonic verdict was that neither Italy nor Ethiopia was to blame for the bloody conflict that had erupted, mind you, 100km inside our sovereign territory. Was it perhaps due to the invisible hand of God working secretly behind His Italian protege? Anyway, what can Ethiopia also expect from another EU-based border commission on Badme? After all, as the familiar saying goes, once a serpent, always a serpent. Ethiopians have always preferred death to dishonour whenever colonialists and imperialists were working in cahoots to compromise their sovereignty and territorial integrity. Because Ethiopians can never expect justice from the west (remember the League of Nations in 1936?), it was wrong in the first place to refer the aggression committed by Eritrea in Badme to an international border commission. After all, Eritrea happens to be nothing more than a creature of colonialism and the western powers have a clear pro-imperialist bias and desire in their heart of hearts not to solve but to exacerbate conflict between the two sisterly nations. Under such inauspicious circumstances, Badme had been bartered by the blood of tens of thousands of Ethiopians who had died in defence of our sacrosanct sovereignty and territorial integrity. In fact, Ethiopia had legitimate historical claims to the whole of Eritrea on the legitimate argument of ethnic, linguistic, cultural and religious affinity, were it not for the activities of certain traitorous bandits who had been always at the service of their imperialist masters. It was only through high treason that Eritrea achieved its independence in 1993. Still, far from presenting Badme an inalienable part of Tigrai Region on a silver platter to expansionist Eritrea, Ethiopia has legitimate claims to Assab, its natural port. In the meantime, the United Nations a puppet of the western powers has proved to be an ally of aggression and should be asked to pull out its forces from Ethiopia to the safety provided by Cyprus. As the League of Nations had done with impunity, the United Nations is now treating Ethiopia like a sacrificial lamb. We now say that enough is enough! There is certainly a limit beyond which patience ceases to be a virtue. |
