 Origin
of Tribalisation of Ethiopian Politics: From Fascism to Fascism.
Aleme Eshete - The
Nazis
of Austria - Hungary had already in the 1930's targeted Ethiopia as a
threat against white supremacy, and white colonialism in Africa, in
much the same way as the Bush
administration talks about Iraq's "weapons of mass
destruction" and threat to "Western Civilization." In
the case of Ethiopia, the classic work on the subject, which we
have repeatedly introduced to the Ethiopian public, myself and the
Ethiopian patriotic Diaspora in Germany, was, of course,
the book by the Austrian Nazi, Baron Roman Prochazka's
"Abyssinia the Powder Barrel" (Vienna 1935).....

 Aklilu
Habtewold: In the Footsteps of a Great International Law
Jurist: Disqualification
of Lauterpacht, Nullification of the Algiers Agreement, and
Rejection of the Decision of the Border Commission.
Tecola W. Hagos
- A careful analysis of
the speeches of Aklilu, as well as his report and his
communiqu� to Emperor Haile Selassie for instruction, revels
a man who was very much in full control of what he was doing.
Even though the political side of the equation at that time
was far more important than the �law of nations� that has
been twice breached resulting in two World Wars, I admired the
fact that Aklilu based his judgment on principles of
international law dealing with sovereignty and territorial
integrity of states rather than political expediency....

 Ceding
Ethiopia's Territories to Eritrea in the Name of Rule of Law?
Tseggai Mebrahtu - One
of the various overt attempts by both internal and external
forces to give a semblance of legality to the illegal cession
of Ethiopian territories and maritime outlet to Eritrea is the
recourse to the discourse on the observance of the rule of
law. Thus, despite the current misleading legal trial of
strength between the Security council, the Eritrean regime on
the one hand and the Trojan Horse government in Ethiopia on
the other, there is no doubt that they have made common cause
to use and misuse the law to promote Eritrean Lebensraum at
the expense of Ethiopia.....

Peras
Imposed to Apeiron: Rules make Art
Tecola W. Hagos
- An
advocacy for total freedom without any organizing principles,
rules and standards to be observed is simply a nihilistic
view. Philosophers have an unflattering name for such
outlook--solipsism. At its best it camouflage itself with the
concept of �freedom� and individual �autonomy� thereby
disarming simple minds to accept anti-social behaviors and
philosophies as some form of enlightenment of sort. Freedom in
the void is no freedom, the freedom of an individual becomes
meaningful in context of the goals and purposes that the
individual pursues..... |

The
Blackmailing of Ethiopia: Phase Two
Tecola W. Hagos
- It
is inconceivable to deprive Ethiopia its historic Coastal
Territories of Afar and the Red Sea. It won�t happen,
America or no America. The West in pursuit of its own security
and economic agenda is simply feeding a few Eritreans.... |
 Attempted
Blackmail Of Ethiopia By United States Congress
Tecola W. Hagos - A
Bill, H.R. 2760, was introduced in the 108th Congress 1st
Session in the House of Representatives by Rep. Tom Lantos
(for himself and Rep. Donald Payne). The short title of the
Bill is �Resolution of the Ethiopia-Eritrea Border Dispute
Act of 2003." [H.R. 2760 of July 16, 2003 is attached
here with at the end of this essay.]
It might as well should have been titled as
�Resolution for the Destruction of Ethiopia� and dispense
with the pretentious reference to both Ethiopia and Eritrea as
if they are being considered on equal footing..... |
