THE ARGUMENT
The self as such has three foundational needs.
I would like to dub them as (1) Bodily needs, (2) Soul needs and (3) time sensitive needs.
When the self is denied these three needs, the Self is dehumanized and subjected to untimely death.
The Tigrean people, as humans, are deprived of these needs’
Therefore, the Tigrean people are being systematically annihilated.
I should now like to defend the argument.
The tyrannical regime in Ethiopia by its own admission and advised by its incompetent philosophers in Addis Ababa, has adopted the annihilation of Tigreans as a living policy . The violation of this foundation of self-hood is now the prevailing policy of subjecting Tigreans to slow death.
It is not only malicious, laughable and flagrantly incompetent for the negotiators to insist that the Tigream regime should not demand that foundational services to the people should be imperatives.
To insist that negotiations should begin when Tigreans are being denied these foundational needs is not only cruel but unreasonable. Any human beings rights to the three needs above is not negotiable. It is inalienable right.
The Ethiopian negotiators must be psychopaths to think that the Tigrean regime with all its vigilant senses will come to the negotiation table to negotiate the unnegotiable. The Tigrean regime is instead being compelled to procure these foundational services only through war.
Is this what the people should want?
