The narcissistic traits exhibited by Abiy Ahmed are apparent in his ambition to establish himself as the preeminent leader. His relentless pursuit of recognition and status seems to overshadow other considerations, indicating a strong desire to remain in the limelight.
This inclination towards self-importance is further illustrated by his quest for acknowledgment as a prominent figure in leadership. Such aspirations reveal a deep-seated need for validation, suggesting that his leadership is driven by a desire for external affirmation.
Notably, Abiy Ahmed distinguished himself as the first African leader to congratulate Donald Trump before the official election results were announced. Through his official X account, he lauded Trump for his impressive comeback in the political landscape, showcasing his eagerness to align himself with significant global events.
Aby Ahmed organized and funded an Ethiopian-American election campaign for democrats. He is fooling nobody. His tormentor and tormented soul must have told him that his demise is near, as his handlers Blinken, Hammer etc go out of their offices.
A group writers who posted this article now have a trademark and it is the term they use ad nauseam: Narcissistic. The other day it was Narcissism. Their predecessors in the early 1970’s used to be seen rudely insulting the late Emperor as ‘Feudo-capitalist Shewa Amhara’ from their Kassala speakeasies and some joints in their forsaken hideouts. I give them credits though because they were very good in their crafts and used every platform of the then Ethiopian Student Unions. They were at frontlines of demonstrations organized by Ethiopian Students Unions on Sundays and they were in the frontlines of ‘other’ demonstrations of their own on Mondays. ‘Down With Feudalism’ they barked on Sundays and they scream from the top of their lungs with ‘ Ethiopia! Stop bombing our country!’ on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Now their descendants show their crafts by using every website and other platforms among our Diaspora to fulfill their assignments. They were profoundly eloquent then and they are capably articulate now. I guess, with our weakness as we had it in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, we have to live with it, confused and bewildered.
