I have made it no secret that I am writing a book. One of my interests is to understand political psychology in a time of tribal madness.
At times I have pushed the button without crossing or nearing any redline to poke and provoke tribal clans, particularly of Amhara and Oromo heritages. That is why I am engaged in a back and forth with nut heads and scholars alike.
I have written similar criticisms against Jawar and Eskinder. I have written long blogs articulating my views and also posted short statements on both. The Amhara tribalists are unhinged far more than Oromo tribalists. They are vulgar.
Some of them are supposedly educated. Here is what one of Eskinder's foot soldiers by the name Henok Abebe wrote on my page. "With such silly personality, WB was late to fuck you out of the organization."
This is his profile: Former Lecturer at Haramaya University; Studied Public International Law at The Hague Academy of International Law; Studied Master of Laws (LL.M) at Central European University; Studied Law-(LL.B) at Addis Ababa University."
That is why I believe to understand Ethiopian politics, you need to understand the psychological makeup of the elite and how and why they lack intellectual quality.
If I have made you a guinea pigs in my experiment I apologize in advance. But I have made my intentions clear. To guinea pig or not to guinea pig is your choice.
