Today, April 22 is Stephen Lawrence Day.🖤
33 years ago in 1993, Stephen at just 18 years was stabbed to death in a racist attack in Eltham, south east London. 🙏🏾
Today, we reflect on this death but more importantly we stand with his family and the Stephen Lawrence foundation to help build in his name for future generations.
As @sldayfdn have stated, this years theme is Every Future Needs a Foundation - to support young people and their ambitions.
Please support the Stephen Lawrence Foundation and their plans however you can.

@africansinnews Shameful and abhorrent violence against ordinary people who are endeavoring to survive. Sheer hate propelled by career politicians shouldn't be shunned. At some points South African used to be granted refuge status in their neighboring countries.

@GhideonMusa This action will help the embassy repair its image and rebuild public trust. It is a positive and necessary step that should be firmly supported.

@Meconneno She added more dimension into it. With the rise of far right political movements, raising children rooted in their cultural backgrounds is imperative.

@EritreaLuv Never give a toss about this deluded artist, his obsession is beyond abhorrent.

The Revolution In Ethiopia’s Sea Acess/Port Policy
Ethiopia’s policy regarding the Red Sea was more focused on having a friendly power overseeing it—preferably a European— than actually owning it. Abiy’s turning of that on its head—no, really, I want it: I don’t want to rent what I can own—is a departure.
A departure going all the way back to Emperor Menelik II, the creator of the modern map of Ethiopia when rulers were more focused on expanding the contiguous space of the country than owning useless seas you can’t tax nor recruit soldiers from.
This is consistent with the behavior of all Inland Empires, some of the greatest in history being Russian, Persian and the champ of them all, by land mass, the Mongol—the standard-bearer.
That’s a tall claim, you say. Well, let’s go on our Time Machine, the history section of the library to the reign of Menelik II, Haile Selassie I, Mengistu, Meles, Hailemariam Desalegn.
1. Menelik II. At the height of his pan African fame, a year after the Battle of Adwa, when he had all the leverage, he negotiated with the French on the Ethiopian-Djibouti Treaty.
He would concurrently negotiate with the Brits and Italians on Somalia, Sudan, and Eritrea. It was all exhausting.
So the newly continentally-revered emperor, the Great Black Hope (“ጥቁር ሰው) told the French: I would like to be left alone as I expand Ethiopia’s territories westward and southward. Also, you are now my gun dealer. Also I would like a strip of land inside sovereign Djibouti that goes all the way to…the salt mines.

I mean I am not exactly quoting but you find a different conclusion from a 582 page book (free).
That was the economic model: taxation is maximized with conquest of land not sea. The port was only relevant to the extent of knowing who controlled it. Europeans would be the best custodians—in addition to their Christianity, they have the added benefit of knowing how to make cool guns.
The kind of guns that protects you from even them.
And off went the emperor in his conquest, creating the modern political map.
2. Haileselassie I. The Franco-Ethiopian Treaty had a companion treaty more focused on commerce and that one was negotiated with the then Ras Teferi now a crowned emperor Haile Selassie.
There is a legend of the emperor leading a 1,000 year long quest to return Ethiopia her coast. Too bad it’s only a legend. In reality, he took it as a given that the Europeans would continue to run the ports—I mean: look at the neighborhood: it’s Arabs and Arab wannabes wherever you gaze.
We prefer for you the Europeans to run the ports but if you won’t we will be the inheritors.
Ther emperor would meet with France’s General DeGaulle regarding French Somaliland (Djibouti):
His Majesty: so, what are your plans for Djibouti?
DeGaulle: we will run a referendum and abide by the WISH of the people.
It just so happens the 1967 referendum showed the Djiboutians would very much like for the French to stay.
To help bring about this unlikely story, Ethiopia dispatched its ambassador to Mogadishu to its consulate in Djibouti to coordinate the No vote, a feat accomplished with a little help from the French who deported 10,000 Somalis and imported Afar nomads from Ethiopia.
This is chronicled in Seyoum Haregot’s “The Bureaucratic Empire: Serving Emperor Haile Selassie”. Well yeah Seyoum Haregot is Eritrean, and of the wenbede persuasion but his father was Ethiopianist Extraordinaire and his children are half Amhara. So you know put that in your consider-the-sourcing.
Goal: Dont’ let Djibouti fall to a Greater Somalia project or drifted into the Arab orbit
Similarly, regarding Bad el Mendeb, Haile Selassie never called for Ethiopia’s ownership of it. He called for its internationalization. Anything to protect Ethiopia from hostile Arabs.
On to Lt General Mengistu 👇🏾
