Diaspora Discussion on Ethio-Eritrea Policy with Dade Desta
(Aigaforum March 26, 2016)_ The Ethiopian government policy towards Eritrea has been controversial from the beginning Eritrea was born! PM Meles government tried to reason with President Isaias to make peace to no avail! In fact when asked, PM Meles said, he did not expect the issue will be resolved in his life time. Perhaps Meles knew his days were numbered due to his illness – blessed his soul! Otherwise it was a surprise to many for him to say as such since he was not known to be a pessimist!
Since Yemen became a failed state the geopolitical landscape is changing around the Red Sea area. And it is changing for the worst as far as Ethiopia is concerned! Thus, says Dade Desta, Ethiopia’s policy towards Eritrea has to change accordingly. Dade gave an extended interview to Aigaforum moderated by Addisu Bahta to explain his thoughts on this issue.
