But they are not supporting development, Freeman noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe U.S built nothing in Africa. They did not support the GERD and they also never recognized the election which took place in June and September. This tells us something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He asked: \u201cWhy did the U.S and the other West governments did not support this government when it was attacked by the terrorist group? Such are the things you have to ask.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the American analyst, \u201cthere is no objective reason for the U.S to undermine the Government of Ethiopia. It is not in the interest of Americans. It is not in the interest of the foreign policies, except a geopolitical group within the U.S government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Freeman stated that life goes on without the West. \u201cChina is a good ally, not perfect; but good ally. It has very useful things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The American analyst urged Ethiopia and other African countries to unite and promote the interest of Africans and look for allies that are willing to work with common purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Praising Ethiopians for their inspirational moves in realizing GERD, Freeman said \u201clook at what you did with GERD. No one contributed to it and you don\u2019t have the World Bank or IMF.
