The Eritrean opposition's golden opportunity to assert itself and
emerge as a nationalist
democratic
opposition.
Will the Eritrean opposition use the present politico/diplomatic
situation to prove to the Eritrean nation and its people that it
will take the side of the nation and its people and present itself
as a credible alternative?
- Recent statement by a US
legislator, the chairman of a House subcommittee on Africa, has
revealed that the US has consistently taken Ethiopian side against
Eritrea. Hence, any call for punitive action by the US
against the Eritrean nation and its people can only be taken in
this context. Taking "Ethiopian side against Eritrea."
- The Ethiopian government has made
it clear, in the last commission meeting, that" Ethiopia cannot accept the Commission’s
coordinates"
Will the Eritrean opposition take
a courageous stand and exert efforts to convince the US
government not take measures against the Eritrean nation and its
people by siding with Ethiopia? Can the Eritrean opposition
master the courage to ask the US government not to side with
the Ethiopia regime at the cost of our people and be fair handed?
The US has the right to support whomever it wants but not at the
cost of the nation that has suffered so much and a nation that has
done nothing or does not even possesses the capacity to harm the
people and government of the US. Eritrea,
a 14 year old nation with per capita income of $200 and with a
population close to that of the city of Los Angeles, can not harm
our super power nation.
Will the opposition now
declare that it is the Ethiopian regime that is blocking the efforts
of the border commission to demarcate the border? Does the
Eritrean opposition fully grasp the consequence of Ethiopian's
rejection of the commission's coordinates? Does the Eritrean
opposition realize that if, in coming November, Ethiopia
rejects the commission's coordinates and Eritrea accepts the
coordinates, Eritrean land will be an occupied land? Annexed ala
1962? Does the Eritrean opposition realize that ,after the handing
of the coordinates, the Eritrean land under Ethiopia will be an
occupied land? Will the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the
nation be violated? Will the opposition say no to occupation?

 The Failure of 'Reconciliation' and
'Reconstitution' Opens Up a Political Vacuum in Somalia
Drafted By: Dr. Michael A. Weinstein
http://www.pinr.com/
There are several scenarios for Somalia's political
future. In PINR's judgment, the most likely one is continued
devolution intensified by a possible spread of wider and more
unified armed resistance against the Ethiopian and T.F.G.
forces, and augmented by a loss of interest in Somalia by
external actors, which will leave the country in the state of
neglect that it suffered in the decade between 1994, when an
international presence ended, and 2004, when the T.F.G. was
formed. Expect the Ethiopians to be worn down by attrition,
the African states to become cooler to AMISOM, and the great
powers to be unwilling to commit the resources necessary to
make a political process attractive and to provide
security.

Eritrea
defiant on U.S. diplomatic pressure
Published: September 18,
2007
U.S. diplomats helped
broker a truce but then backed off after Ethiopia decided to
ignore a commission, supported by the United Nations, that
said Badame belonged to Eritrea.
"We expected the Americans to be
fair," said Yemane Gebre Meskel, the chief of staff for Isaias
Afwerki, Eritrea's president. "They
weren't."
 The Bush administration sees Ethiopia, with its 77
million people and one of Africa's largest armies, as the best
bulwark in the Horn of Africa against Islamist extremism, so
the United States has consistently taken Ethiopia's side
against Eritrea, population 5 million, said Representative
Donald Payne, Democrat of New Jersey and chairman of a House
subcommittee on Africa.
"And that's not productive," he said.
"Right now we're boxing Eritrea into a corner."
