Zerihun Teshome

Editor’s Note,

Isaias Afeworki, president -for- life of the state of Eritrea, is widely considered not only by its unchanged policy of destabilizing the Horn of Africa but also by its domestic behavior of widespread and systematic violation of human rights committed against the people of its own nation.

The UN Refugee Agency stated that though not all the Eritreans who flee their home to cross into Europe and the neighboring Ethiopia were looking for asylum, at least three quarters were people who had fled from their country of origin to escape political persecution and indefinite national service.

The most intriguing question perhaps, is if these domestic and external challenges forced President Isaias to be ousted from his power, what would be the posible opportunities and threats in post Isaias’ Eritrea for the neighboring Ethiopia and the horn of Africa at large.

Political analyst and Peace & security expert, Zerihun Teshome, has the say on the matter in his recent interview with Sendek Newspaper, an Amharic current affair weekly. Please read more

In response to Mr. Olad Guled’s article “The mad mullah of 21st century,

Abdi Mohamed Omar, Somali Regional State President” that apparently
appeared on Somalilandpress.com on the eve of 8th June 2016, I felt to react in the context of the article based on genuine arguments. To express opinion contrary to the writings of another person with the aim of clarifying facts & disclosing the leadership quality of President Abdi
Mohamoud Omar.

Early this month, I saw webpages posting articles that badly blaming Ethiopian Somali region President which are more biased and away from the reality but simple looks like to against the rising bright hope & prosperity of eastern region of Ethiopia so called—Ethiopian Somali region and our visionary young leader of Somali region HE President Abdi Mohamoud Omar. When you critical analysis the essence of articles, we can be easily understood the writers of the articles are intentionally campaigning two things which are critical to us and impossible to happen in our country.
First and foremost they want to rationalize a means that terrorist groups
in the horn of Africa, can smuggle into Ethiopian Somali region across
borders that we share with Somalia and possibly terrorists would have to
carry out explosive terrorist missions inside Ethiopia which is not
acceptable to create an opportunity that our enemy as well as global enemy
can use to harm our peace loving society.
