While there is no physical wall in Tigray, as there was separating East and West Germany during the Cold War, the time is long overdue to “tear down this wall,” in the words of U.S. president Ronald Reagan in 1987. In doing so, you must first tear down the wall between the region’s leaders and its people. This power extends beyond the party itself, and pervades governance and public administration in Tigray. Yet you certainly can pave the way towards these goals by first and foremost tearing down the above-mentioned wall. Yet, who knows if you, Mr. President, have come to your highest position for such a time as this?
