Energy Crisis in Ethiopia

We reported that it is difficult to get cylinders with gas to cook on. This weekend we came to know that, there is a shortage too in kerosene supply.

What the reason for this shortage is, remains to be guessed,It seems that the Crime Minister has noticed, that the government in Ethiopia is running out of foreign currency/credits and cannot afford to remain in Somalia much longer. Most of the time this kind of remarks have to put the begging machine in full swing. Just one year ago, the language was about crushing the “terrorists” within two weeks and peace efforts as a contribution to the development of the whole Horn of Africa. Now it is starting to look like that the poor and needy in Ethiopia are paying the bill.

And still other African countries are not prepared to take over. Rwanda and Nigeria are sending some, but this is just window dressing. They rather do not want to be involved in the human rights abuses that the TFG-Somalis under command of the TPLF-Ethiopians are committing over there. The Ugandans too are remaining in their barracks and avoid becoming involved.

So Ethiopia is facing an energy crisis, because valuable resources are wasted in a senseless occupation and repression of our neighbor Somalia. And as usual the international community is requested to solve the problem. Not one moment they even consider that they- the TPLF and Affiliates- have caused this problem in the first place. But what is new?

The national interest of Ethiopia has never been on top of the agenda of this regime. And even just a few months ago, Legesse ‘the name thief’ Zenawi, crime minister of Ethiopia and scion of a traitorous family ( this complete different to the patriotic ancestors of Seye Abraha, a personality quite respected by me, in spite of all the mistakes/blunders he made and admitted, as my readers will remember ) dared to defend the fact that our country became landlocked when Eritrea became “independent”. This while negotiators of our northern neighbors were willing to give our Country the port of Aseb and a sufficient safe corridor to it.

Btw, the harder the illegitimate rulers of Ethiopia are shouting and insulting, just as the illegitimate rulers up north, the more they are hiding their own failures.

The good news is that finally a decree was issued by the Minister of Trade & Industry to force the distribution Companies of oil to make available blended fuel. (Mixed with ethanol from the sugarfactories). It always amazed me why this mix was not introduced at the time of the coming up stream of the Finchaa sugar factory. The technology and advantages together with some possible risks were all known for which we refer to the Brazilian and Indian know how all available even on the internet when it works.
