Capito? I could tell you more about the rest of your scholarly knowledge that is too laughable minimizing the CIA role in Ethiopia; I think this is too hard for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694997393768855022.post-3252601420158192132011-06-08T00:38:39.397-07:002011-06-08T00:38:39.397-07:00The US established close relationship with Ethiopi...The US established close relationship with Ethiopia after WW II, during the establishment of the UN and not as A.Eshete claims during WWII.<br />This relationship became tighter as Eth. had interest in ousting the British. <br />We see the CIA's ineffectivness and lack of presence in cases such as Taleban, whom they armed and supported...in the US politics in the Middle East ...<br />So presenting the CIA as an omnipresent, and omnipotent entity is not right.<br />US interests in Ethiopia were of strategic importance, one can say. They may have had contingency plans if the dismemberment of the country was an unavoidable fact. This is though only hypothetic. <br />As soon as they were able to move their sattelite installation in the country, it seemed they were convinced that the country was not so important.<br />The woyanes had to wave the "danger of Islamism " in the area to draw US attention.<br />The man in Asmara does not seem to enjoy a side glance from the US.<br />A. Eshete's story seems to be a fig of his own imagination, a fantasy, where such ideas were prevalent in the days of the students' movement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
