  1. As an Ethiopian, a sea outlet is a massive issue for us, but we're tired of wars, and most importantly Eritreans are our siblings we don't want to fight Literally any foreigner would struggle to differentiate between an Ethiopian and Eritrean cultures, because we're basically the same nation, different nationalities And more than my fear for ourselves, I fear for Eritreans because their leader would conscript all the population, the Eritrean dictator will force his 5 million people to throw themselves into war, which would lead to the greatest humanitarian catastrophe and probably the bloodiest in the 21st century (which means that Ethiopia will break its own record)

  2. Guys. Just stop everything and go watch the Trump-Zelensky live meeting. That's the most aggressive political argument I've even seen in my life!!! Even his debate with Biden and Harris wasn't this rough

  3. As an Ethiopian, I'm sad Rwanda is doing this, BUT I support Rwanda more. A basic study of statehood is that an incompetent state should be removed by a competent ones for the general betterment of humanity. DRC has a too big state for a too incompetent government. Rwanda has a (comparatively) too competent government for a too small state, might as well spread their prosperity, might as well take over my government this point. The fact that only 800 rebels were able to take a whole city from the DRC should tell you how incompetent is the DRC.

  5.  @JaKingScomez  Ethiopia can survive without a sea outlet, Ethiopia will prosper more with it, but we'll still grow without it, just if we have a good leadership

  6. @Koranziza  i just said it. Literally. Our government is very corrupt, but the reason it keeps being triumphant always is that it's better than all the other viable options on the table. If a clearly better option is offered, I'm going for it, even if that meant that Ethiopia as a state will be no more, and we're not mindless to know that this is not the best option for Ethiopia, which is in a much better condition than Rwanda or DRC. After all, isn't the betterment of human life, particularly through safety, security and cultural norms the basic reason why any and every state exist? If a state failed to deliver that, another state shall come to be.

  7. As people, we do As government, can we say "we"? Does it represent us?

  8. If you study/know history well, Rwanda should win for good, maybe even allowed to formally annex these areas for all. DRC has already shown a great deal of incompetence with all the water wealth, land, natural resources, huge population, foreign aid, UN support, AU cooperation, etc... The fact that 800 rebels took a whole city from DRC is an enough sign that the DRC deserve to get reduced in size and the government need to be utterly humiliated as a lesson at least. What you just said about Rwanda shows us how genius and strategic their government is. They might even spread their prosperity to more people. Honestly, we Africans rn need more economic power than political rights, if Rwanda can offer this to the local Congolese, then they should be with Rwanda. Survival of the fittest should make the DRC go away as a state, and all for good

  9. Yes, because they're all either occupied and unfree, or blockaded and sieged, or oppressed and tortured They're refugees, it's not a monopoly they have on the title, but the fact that all of them are living under the same conditions, caused by similar situations

  10. So true

  11. This is the 100th comment that says it. But geography plays the greatest role. More than corruption or colonialism
    34
  12.  @Koranziza  why are you seeing resources as a challenge and burden? The fact that the DRC had all that and is still failing is the surprising part. That's a limited mindset, you're making excuses for the failure of the DRC.
    32
  13.  @notfunny3397  honestly, Eritreans don't get the Ethiopian nationality, but get residence in Ethiopia. Ethiopians can't get a residence or nationality in Eritrea, that's if they survived at all That's because Ethiopians believe Ethiopia is home for Eritreans, but being a citizen is a political matter. Only if Ethiopia and Eritrea unite would every Eritrean get the Ethiopian nationality and Eritreans would get integrated into the parliament, and basically they'll be Ethiopians in a federal system Edit: I'm surprised that Ethiopia is politically doing what South Koreans do, especially since Ethiopia fought against north Korea with south korea

  14.  @hiroshigozhaimashda9304  Abiy is not Muslim, he's a protestant Christian, his party is called "Prosperity Party" He's from a Muslim Oromo father and Orthodox Amhara mother, and he's a protestant, his wife is an orthodox Christian from Gondar, Amhara too, what a confusing diversity! I wonder what his children would consider themselves. Such a relationship causes irreligious children most of the time

  16. A lot of commenters didn't watch the whole video and started judging. The impact of geography is greater than colonialism or corruption. If the african geography was so good, colonialism or corruption wouldn't have happened. People also underestimate the importance of TRADE in development, trade of goods, services, communications, ideas and everything. If africa was much smaller continent with the same population, it's solidly argued it would've been better, since it'd have been in a condition close to europe (just crowded like Europe to ease trade of ideas, innovations, civilizations and more)

  17.  @Koranziza  simply, if the state cannot deliver a strong and competent government, the state should be dissolved. My dear, you've seen 60 years of failure in the DRC, and at this point the state failure duration was 100%, you haven't seen any governorship from Rwanda yet, which had 50% success in the past 60 years (30 years of success). I'd forgo the DRC for Rwnada at this point, cuz even mathematically the multiplication difference between 0% success and 50% success rates is an Infinite ♾️ solution

  18. ​ @josiahmccallister3150 you're wrong, why can't we blame both? There is no silver bullet problem or solution. It's all a combination of many factors
    26
  19. Africa has a problem of under population, but many people think the opposite. Most of our lands are full of natural resources and are plateaus, Africa is called the richest continent on earth and the plateau continent too. Our only problem is our corrupt governments and incompetent leadership
    24
  20. I heard a chinese evangelical say "Trump was sent by God to weaken the United States" I feel like he wasn't wrong 😢

  21. As an African, I realise our corrupt regimes are more of a problem than anything else. But the matter of fact that many hate to talk about is that our dictators are a result of colonialism. You can read books like "why nations fail" to see that institutions are the most important thing, and african state institutions are nearly all made by colonial powers, not just the borders or the legacies, all those leaders rule in borders drawn by colonisers and institutions as a result. Or read the book "Looting Machine" by Tom Burgis, which talks about how foreign countries, like former colonial powers, USA and Israel, exploit these countries in exchange for protecting the regimes, thus defeating the people and democracy, since when a dictator doesn't need his people to protect his throne, they become too cruel in favor of the exploiters. Our dictators need foreigners (who buy resources and sell weapons) more than us, the peoples. Really insightful books

  22. When did Israel honor its treaties? Not believing Israel is statistically important
    16
  23. In the book "why nations fail," you can clearly understand how colonial institutions set Africa to poverty for decades to come. And in the book "Looting Machine" by Tom Burgis, you can further understand how foreign governments are a fundamental reason why corrupt regimes keep on surviving in Africa. Colonialism did us too dirty. It's hard to make any change whatsoever, and if it's possible, I'm ready to spend my life to overthrow even one of these governments, even if it won't change anything. These leaders should be reminded that no one can hold on power forever at least.

  24. So, should I call the police, or anyone to rescue you? Or is the network great in that island?

  25. You're a tree, what do you expect?
    12
  26. Yes, we only need time and for foreign nations to stop financing our corrupt regimes. Keep your money and be happy, this makes us happy.

  27. Great, then let Palestinians have equal rights, rights to return and return all confiscated properties I don't think you will, much of your wealth relies on previous Palestinian properties
    11
  28. You said the wrong thing. We shouldn't stop blaming. We should redistribute the blame. Blame our dictators as much as we blame colonial powers. Neo-colonialism is real

  29. Can I argue that this is the millionth YouTube video on this topic

  30. Please, stop underestimating geography
    10
  31. Europeans discovered uninhabited Islands and probably the Antarctica. Places where we lived in can't be discovered by Europeans, because we were in it, we knew it, we discovered it. Maybe "explored for Europe" is a better term than "discovered". A term used by many

  32. 6:05 shot down be Israeli defenses? You totally forgot the US and Jordanian military. The US in 2 countries actually, Iraq and Jordan.

  34. Like how many of our best youth were taken to the americas, or when the belgians decided to cut the hands of millions of Congolese, or when we were used for cotton farming by british and French colonial families, who took our farmlands to mae us work on it??? Alot of ways. But never blame birth rates please, because it'd become a senseless argument, a failed one.

  35.  @NickElectro9000  Bahrain is connected to a major city in saudi arabia with a bridge called "king fahd causeway"

  36. This is an oversimplification, maybe this is a result, not a cause. I can say this as an African who saw alot of the problems first hand, from political corruption from a minister I met, to a local one by some police.

  37.  @mysampson284  transportation and communication has developed so much that you can't compare today by yesterday. It's ALL about transportation and communication. The reason why Europe developed was mainly navigable rivers for transportation and communication, now we don't need navigable rivers, so we should develop.

  38.  @vampyrsten  that's why I referred you the books. And I said that I blame our governments the most at first, and then I state that foreign governments are fundamental to the survival of our corrupt regimes

  39.  @kadenyt6623  did I blame colonialism for everything?! Don't feel guilt, just admit and learn from history. Why do some of you have a paranoia of stating anything about colonialism?!

  40. Props to Qatar 🇶🇦 I really have a big respect for this small nation They have their own values that they stick to, that every one should respect

  41. @StopTheLiess  personally, if the italians were fair to us, I wouldn't mind being absolutely banned from politics as a native. The main thing for me is to have a competent government and a just/fair state, I'm not racist, so I wouldn't mind a white or an indian to lead my country if he/she was good for us, the people.

  42. I agree that they should make it like South Africa, but later function like another state. South Africa is being plagued with corruption. So, start with SA strategy, continue with another style

  43. Palestine will grow up from a strong Israel, like how saladin defeated the kingdom of heaven, although the kingdom was at its peak power and had all western support

  44.  @NKKhoo_马来西亚人  my dear, innovative is actually creating, not doing on board. Doing on board only is research, which is also very important too. So, I don't singapore will weaken in the medium term, but maybe stagnate just like any other developed nation. Economics just doesn't allow you to grow exponentially anymore, this is a rule.

  45. A thousand comment like this. There is no one simple reason. Geography is a significant part of it

  46. Actually, it is, in terms of GDP

  47. I was watching one of your videos and you uploaded this

  48. 2:25 Sad this is the deadliest war for children in long time, and just in a single city

  49. Add to it foreign relations and colonialism, that shouldn't be denied.

  50. Fr, that's sad. Knowledge is being punished, humanity is why they posted this video. I love RLL
