Eritrea Slams Colonial Pseudo-organization IGAD as Tool of Anti-African Policies

It was about time; one should have indeed denounced this international fraud long ago! IGAD, the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development is a fake that must be condemned by all the oppressed and tyrannized peoples of Eastern Africa. In fact, IGADD was launched in the early 80s, as a diplomatic machination of the pro-communist, tribal and tyrannical regime of Abyssinia (fallaciously re-baptized ‘Ethiopia’), only to be revitalized in the mid-90s.

IGAD member states include a bunch of derelict or failed states that consist in the epitome of malfunction, ferocity and malignancy. With Eritrea having wisely suspended its participation in this nest of snakes in 2007, IGAD represents the illegal interests of the undemocratic and terrorist governments of Abyssinia, Sudan, Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya and Uganda. The six (6) countries’ names are the most loathed (by the inhabitants of the respective countries) country names throughout the globe.

In fact, Abyssinia, Sudan, Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya and Uganda represent today some of the world’s most appalling tyrannies.

Abyssinia, fallaciously re-baptized ‘Ethiopia’, is a cenotaph for the subjugated and terrorized nations of the Oromos, the Ogadenis, the Afars, the Sidamas, the Kaffas, the Kambaatas, the Shekachos, the Wolayitas, the Gedeos, the Hadiyas, the Anuak, the Nuer, the Agaws, the Berta, the Gumuz, and the Shinasha, as well as for the cruelly persecuted Amhara and Tigray Muslim minorities.

Djibouti is a colonial relic, a dysfunctional state that exists only because its territory had been the former French East African colony, the territory of the Afars and the Issas. The latter are one of the Somali tribes, and as such they are mainly incorporated in their normal, national state of Somalia. The former are among the most maltreated victims of the colonial era, as they did not manage to set up a national home and they have been subject to trichotomy, being divided among Abyssinia, Eritrea and Djibouti.

Sudan is a monumental tragedy of the colonial times; following the English 19th century colonization for which the docile and subservient pseudo-viceroys of Egypt have been used, the diffusion of Pan-Arabism and Islamic extremism in Sudan triggered identity confusion, complete national disorientation, ethnic division, and cultural divide. The end result was a fake state disconnected from its historical identity, indifferent for its past, and oblivious of its own name. Sudan is the only state that can be named Ethiopia in a historically correct and acceptable way; but the imposition of the suicidal Pan-Arabist ideology by the besotted and confused elites led them all to mistaken options and erroneous choices. By now, Sudan has to be broken down to pieces in a way similar to that demanded for Abyssinia (fake ‘Ethiopia’). The South, Darfur, Kordofan, Nubia in the North and the Bejas in the Red Sea coastland must all secede, and the central provinces – inhabited by Arabic speaking Kushites – must become the terrain of a new search of national identity for the indigenous people.

Kenya has mainly been a Kikuyu tyranny over Oromos, Somalis, Luos and many other nations who all aspire to ethnic – national borders and nation building process in their free and independent territory. Kenya was created only to prevent the materialization of the rightful demand of all local populations in the Eastern African coastal regions for an Islamic Republic of Eastern Africa.

Uganda is another fake colonial state, a technical entity instrumental in promoting underdevelopment, tyranny, strife and intolerance. The country should normally be a loose confederation of numerous tribal states in order to avoid the massacres that it incessantly experienced since the very beginning of its futile existence.

Somalia has been the theater of extraordinarily evil machinations from the part of several regimes, establishments and groups of power. After more than 17 years of civil war, many divisions and secessions, Somalia is being reunited thanks to the strength of its brave youth, the commitment of its heroic people, and the leadership of the Shebab fighters. Among all the IGAD member states, Somalia – when pacified and reunited – is the only real nation – state, whereas all the rest have to be dissolved so that the numerous subjugated nations have at last a chance to live in freedom, peace, progress and prosperity.

At this very moment, IGAD serves only the interests of illegal or illegitimate administrations that use the organization only to extract different types of profit for the ruling ethno-religious elites, which automatically signals an ominous future for the outright majority in each and every IGAD member state.

I republish here the brief press release issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Eritrea which in its laconic style outlines the scandal of the IGAD meeting on Somalia which is similar to a Mafia congregation of evil worshippers and outrageous murderers.

To strengthen the Eritrean denunciation of the IGAD fallacy, I add some excerpts from the falsehood published in the IGAD website, namely the vision, the mission and the objectives. Read and try to compare their splendid promises and the current miserable reality.

This is IGAD: the inhuman evils who promised the Paradise on Earth, and they delivered the Hell to the Skies.

With the green light from Washington and under the cover of the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD), Ethiopia has summoned the so-called Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia to Nairobi.

This latest US-Ethiopia venture is nothing but the continuation of the failed policies of the past two years and a prolongation of the suffering of the Somali people.

The experience of the past two years has clearly shown that the road to peace and stability in Somalia requires the immediate, unconditional and full withdrawal of the occupying Ethiopian army, which has not only exacerbated the situation but also committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. Withdrawal should also include the Ugandan and Burundian troops in the country, who are not "peace-keepers" or "peace-stabilizers", but rather a party to the conflict, on the side of Ethiopia and the TFG, against the Somali people and their resistance.

With foreign troops out, the Somali people can embark on the difficult but not impossible task of finding their own solution to their problems. Although it was not without shortcomings and mistakes, the experience of 2006, prior to the full-scale Ethiopian invasion, when peace and stability had returned to much of southern and central Somalia, including Mogadishu, is a cause for hope.

The December 2006 Ethiopian invasion was launched precisely to arrest and reverse the positive developments in Somalia. Two years on, and after the loss of tens of thousands of lives, the displacement of tens of thousands, the wanton destruction of Mogadishu, the upcoming Nairobi meeting, ignoring all past lessons, seeks to justify, and perpetuate, the crimes committed against the Somali people.

It will not succeed where the US-Ethiopian invasion failed.
