So here we have a Western academic, European, telling Ethiopia that unless it accepts two terrorist groups as participants in a planned national dialogue, that dialogue is worthless, just symbolic.

Interesting take.

This particular scholar has been talking all manner of nonsense lately. His conduct reflects poorly on the institutions he names in his Twitter bio.

The effort to bring peace to Ethiopia after hopefully silencing the guns is nascent, barely begun.

And this scholar dismisses it out of hand.

There are way too many alleged professors and “experts” in foreign policy, peace and conflict who are nothing more than reactive yes bois to the masters of war, seeking to get a pack on the back for defending the policy order, no matter what.

These people, the likes of Tronvoll, Plaut and de Waal enabled and exacerbated and prolonged this conflict with their “reckons”, often taken as dictation from their TPLF “contacts” resulting in 100s of thousands of deaths and millions of lives scarred forever.
