ADDIS ABABA – Some interest groups are exerting undue pressure on the government of Ethiopia under the guise of ensuring peace and tranquility in the country mainly for their hidden agenda, scholars in the field said.
Approached by The Ethiopian Herald, the experts stated that some global actors have been pulling out all the stops to twist Ethiopia’s arm under the guise of ensuring peace and stability in a clear violation of the sovereign interest of the country.
Political Science and International Relations Assistant Professor at Gondar University Andargachew Tesfahun said that the intended target of some international organizations is to destabilize Ethiopia on the grounds that they do not want the country to stand on its feet. In consideration of the foregoing, they interfere in the internal affairs of the country under the pretext of maintaining peace and stability.
According to the expert, the U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East, in Africa, and other parts of the world could serve as a good testimony to their hidden agenda and what they have been doing behind closed doors.
“Global powers do not want to interfere directly in the internal affairs of Ethiopia by deploying troops, instead, they would like to get themselves involved in standing by the side of opposing groups and so as to set up a puppet government which will achieve their agenda.”
Those nations are not happy with Ethiopia’s aspiration to be an independent and prosperous nation, they have been endeavoring to turn their vision into reality no matter what the cost may be, Tesfahun added.
Sharing the above, a scholar in Arab history Adam Kamil said that the U.S. government needs to revise its current hostile policy against Ethiopia and withdraw the support to TPLF clique that have been waging destructive war and committing grave atrocities. “At this critical time, the internal unity of the people of Ethiopia is very important so as to easily defend any external intervention against their country.”
“If the people of Ethiopia are all united, it will not be easy for external actors and their internal tools to impose their agenda and interests to divide and exacerbate the conflict that continues to mess up Ethiopia, which is the cherished extraordinary civilization hub of Africa and the rest of the world.”
