Asmara, the Conference of the Three Confused African Leaders

Understanding the importance of synchronizing generations is a crucial revelation that can pinpoint misconceptions and stereotypes. The lack of respect for your fellow citizens can result in conflicts and significant differences in life. This underscores the crucial need for mutual understanding. Scholars especially stress that leaders foster connectivity and justice so that citizens remain valuable and productive. The urgency of this need cannot be overstated, as it is a matter of survival for our societies.

The people of Africa have journeyed a long and arduous path, placing their trust in many and enduring numerous hardships to reach the present. Africans persevere despite the distance yet to be covered to attain their counterparts' comfort in the most advanced nations. They require leaders who understand that their primary duty is to make sacrifices and put the people's interests above their own. We are in a race against time to bridge the gap with the advanced world, and this can only be achieved if leaders prioritize the needs of their citizens. However, when a leader in whom you've placed your trust betrays that allegiance and works against you, it results in a painful double betrayal, leaving the recipient's destination and the outcome of his actions uncertain. This betrayal is a source of deep disappointment and disillusionment.

Charles Darwin's theory of "fitness of life" in evolution states that organisms with traits best suited to their environment are more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass those beneficial traits on to their offspring. In simple terms, "fit" individuals are more likely to survive and thrive in their environment, allowing their advantageous traits to spread. Quickly transferring Charles's theory of evolution to our modern politics, let us take a closer look at current politics in the Horn of Africa.

September 27, 2024, on LinkedIn, My African Dream in America - A Nightmare? I wrote my opinion on leadership in the Horn of Africa.?"One of the hallmarks of conflict in the Horn of Africa at the beginning of the 21st century is the increasing global competition of natural resources, particularly the pursuit of fresh water and access to the sea. For centuries, so-called historians have created stories that claim to own their origin or content and narrowly shape their sensibilities to keep their people hanging (cheap shot to the ladder of fame). In turn, feeding off the trend, we see corrupt leaders trying to frustrate society based on imaginary lines of interest, leading to endless fraternal warfare for survival."?

As Charles Darwin explained centuries ago, "Survival of the fittest" means organisms with characteristics adapted to their environment. Thus, the African people are trying to increase their chances of surviving, reproducing, and passing on those valuable traits to their fellow citizens by making concerted use of the privileges they have been given. According to Charles Darwin, to adapt and evolve, "high-fit" individuals are more likely to survive and thrive in their environment, which helps them spread their beneficial traits. (This is how we become the community).?The three unfortunate and scared (victims of their creation) leaders of Eritrea, Egypt, and Somalia, conferring in Asmara, have a joint mission: to follow the destructive and outdated course set by their colonial rulers and violate the rights of other nations just to buy time for temporary relief from their long-standing pain. The situation is dire because their time is up - the people are asking for the deliverance of long-standing promises or getting the conscience of the total outcome of their actions. These false (not giving authentic leadership more than selfish) leaders believe that conflict as a principle will solve many of their domestic problems, unemployment, poverty, overpopulation, and education voids. Above all, the so-called leaders use the conflict to abdicate their leadership responsibilities and blame the situation on domestic and foreign victims. The primary purpose of the conflict is to keep power in their hands.?The burning issue that brought the three tragic leaders together is not the Abay water and soil or Ethiopia's access to the sea. Thanks to Ethiopia's recent leadership, the burning issue has become a principled nation's rights issue, and many African governments and the people have accepted fair dealing and freedom as the guiding principles of international relations. Many black nations have awakened to defend their people's rights and united to stand against old colonial rules that prevented the advancement of their people. So far, with the colonial artificial insertion of the dominance law, the three nations have existed independently. However, projecting their independent existence within the next twenty years will take much work.

The three tragic leaders are looking for a place to hide their long-awaited failure, using war or exploitation. With no hope on the horizon, they resort to a paper tiger, hoping their chronic problem (poverty and chronic poor life experience of the people) will vanish into the air.

Many African people are not interested in markets or socialist economies. They want to have a fair share of their resources and be fairly treated in market dealings. All Africans believe their water and soil should be equally priced in exchange for oil and Suez Canal services. Both sides should equally recognize reciprocity. All Africans aspire to live a reasonable life, provide for their school-age children, earn a paying job, live in peace, and enjoy equal justice under the law. On the other hand, so-called leaders are self-centered, without regard for others, constantly work to secure their interests instead of meeting the needs of others, and have no empathy for other people's suffering. Therefore, conflict and war are the primary means of achieving these leaders' goals.
