Ethiopia's Prime Minister Calls for African Internal Cohesion

 Project Syndicate published on 9 September 2020 a commentary titled "Africa's Peace and Prosperity Begin at Home" by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. 

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed opens with the statement that "Africans must take responsibility for our continent's affairs."  It is very hard to disagree with the statement.  He adds that "Africa's ability to become a strong geopolitical force hinges on its own internal cohesion and economic integration."  Another truism, but is it not also time to apply these goals to Ethiopia?
