Recently Tigrai Online published an article by Ghelawdewos Araia, PhD about The Unification of Ethiopia and Djibouti it was his observation based on the current realities of both Djibouti and Ethiopia. It seems the unification of the two countries becoming a reality faster than anybody expected.
The two countries are connected in every sector of their economies and every aspect of life. These Joint Ministerial meetings are part of the process for full integration. Slowly but surely Ethiopia’s democratization and amazing economic development is becoming attractive to people in sister countries in the greater Horn of Africa. With the exception of the rogue government of Eritrea, all the countries in our region are working with Ethiopia in harmony for the greater good of the entire region.
The reunification of Djibouti and Ethiopia will bring a brighter future to our people and it will spell doomsday for the terrorist gangs in Asmara. We know the President-for-life of the tiny country is terrified of this reality he is trying to sabotage it.
Last month the Eritrean government openly declared war on Ethiopia and the Ethiopian people by orchestrating the creation of yet another terrorist group in Asmara against Ethiopia. The Ethiopian people are waiting to see what retaliatory action the Ethiopian federal government is going to take.
