Yesterday, I listened to Jawar’s most anticipated interviews on OMN and Ubuntu TV. Judging from these two interviews, it has become clear that Jawar’s career as a distinctly Oromo politician is over. And sadly so.
In what looks like a charm offensive intended to calm down (or to woo) the rather restive (and genocidal) Ethio-Amhara elite and their international patrons (especially the US and Canada), my friend Jawar Siraj Mohammed seems to have launched his official campaign to become the next Ethio-Amhara Prime Minister.
In so doing, he seems to have chosen to trace and follow Abiy’s footprints. In effect, Jawar has declared his intention to become another Abiy: just lighter, brighter, younger, and smarter. And perhaps kinder and more rational, too. While we wish him luck in his endeavours, we reckon that the long and arduous road to freedom (and possible redemption) is yet to be traveled.
Au revoir, mon frere!
