On July 8, I posted a strig titled,
"A MOST CRITICAL PROPOSITION FOR ALL ETHIOPIANS".

This article was downloaded from http://geocities.com/ethiopiakefagn/.

My collegues who read it belive this could be a viable strategic alternative to whatever Plan-A is being considered for removing TPLF/Woyane before they destroy our homeland. Ethiopian Review posted thes link by Gerado on July 8, 2005 titled "Deserves your comment". I strongly suggest reading it twice to prod your minds.

Is the proposition far fetched when considering TPLF's complete control over the armed forces? Keeping in mind that the only reason TPLF is still in power is solely because of the armed forces and nothing else, how certain is TPLF that the military will maintain its loyalty if given an order to kill its citizens?

$$$$,ZZZ don’t fool no one “I will give my life” before you give your life how about donate your entire salary to Ethioreview if you do so, why not sacrifice to your beloved country thousands of people done it except you.

Shame on you, yes in did the truth is coming out slowly but surly you will get what you wish for.



APPROPRIATE REACTION TO TPLF TRIBALISM

By Kefagn

Note: In this writing TPLF or “Woyane”, refers to current Ethiopian Government.

When Italian colonial invaders came to Ethiopia, they came with a plan to form great East African Italian colonial empire by dividing Ethiopia into many small ethnically based states. “Divide and rule” was the effective and mainstream colonial policy of the colonial powers. This policy helped many of European colonizers, especially Great Britain to concur the southern world for centuries. Thanks to our forefathers, this plan did not work in Ethiopia.

Our forefathers, irrespective of their ethnic background, paid tremendous sacrifice to keep Ethiopian territorial integrity, its diverse culture and remarkable history. They bestowed great patriotism (Ethiopianism), which most black people of Africa and Latin America are proud of, on our generation. I have great respect for all the sacrifice made by our forefathers.

During the last fourteen years, TPLF has tried to use the old and defeated colonial divide and rule policy to consolidate and maintain its power. In the guise of federalism, TPLF divided the country in to ethnically based regions that are similar to that of Italian failed colonial administrative map of Ethiopia. It initiated people to kill other people. Elites of TPLF have tried their best to cause Rwandan like holocaust in the country. Nevertheless, thanks to the wisdom of the Ethiopian people, it did not happen. Now Ethiopians have become aware of all TPLF’s schemes. They have understood that the main problem of Ethiopia is TPLF’s tribal administrative system. The May 15, 2005 election was a clear message of the Ethiopian people that they do not want TPLF’s racist regime any more. In the after math of the election, the unanimous action of the people, irrespective or their ethnical differences was a clear message that people are determined to remove TPLF peacefully or the other way.

Being shocked by this fact, elites of TPLF have started desperate measures to initiate ethnic violence in the country. They are again trying to use the same divide and rule policy by killing, arresting and torturing innocent people. They kill “Amhara” under the name of “Oromo” or “Wolita” or “Sidama”. They kill “Agnewak” under the name of “Nuware”. They kill “Afar” under the name of “Issa”. There is TPLF hand in all killings. Leaders of TPLF are purposefully doing to cause ethnic conflict and disintegrate Ethiopia if they are forced to give the power. It is selfishness of the elite of TPLF. The Tigray people will suffer the most if the country disintegrates. Do these elites know who will be the first victim and suffer high loses, if Ethiopia disintegrates? Let me mention some facts.


Will the “Amhara” be the first victims?

No. It has a large population, huge fertile arable land, large grazing land, huge population of cattle and abundant water resources. (By the way, according to the United Nation projection, by 2050, when the world population reaches 9 billion, pure water will be one of the scarcest resources in the world over which war among nations might erupt). “Amhara” has peace-loving people who are helpful and respect others. It has a developed tradition of coexisting peacefully with others. Thus with its large human resources and abundant actual and potential natural resources, the Amhara” can exist as a strong viable nation state.

Will the “Oromo” be the first victims?

No. It has a large population, huge and fertile coffee growing land, large deposits of minerals, forest resources and abundant water resources. It has peace loving and helpful people that can coexist with others. With all these human resources and abundant actual and potential natural resources, the “Oromo”, like the “Amhara” can exist as a strong viable nation state.

Will the people in the south and south central highland of the country; like “Gurage”, “Hadiya”, “Kenbata”, “Sidama” and other nationalities in the region be the first victims?

No. They have as rich natural resources as the Oromos do. They have human resources that have practiced developed tradition of trade and an intensive agricultural system. They have also mature tradition of coexisting with other people. Therefore, these people can exist as either a part of federal or centralized state within themselves or with other nationalities.

Will the people in the eastern, northeastern and southern lowlands of the country be the first victims?

No. They have well-established nomadic way of life and developed long distance trading culture. They have had loose connections with the central/federal or local governments. They have a mature and long-standing tradition of tribal administration system. Therefore, they can live as they have lived for centuries.

Will the “Tigrean” be the first victims?

They might be. This might upset some people. However, I have some facts to prove my point. Tigray has a long history of settlement. Accordingly, its arable land has been cultivated for centuries. Agricultural activity and the degree of soil erosion are directly related. Hence, the soil has been eroding for centuries. As a result, more than 80% of the current arable land has either a shallow layer of soil that does not support even the roots of the basic crops, or the bedrock is exposed at the top. These small amounts of soil are highly acidic since they are close to the bedrock and consist of mainly inorganic minerals. Acidic soils are not good for cultivation. Therefore, even if there is enough annual rainfall, the land cannot produce enough crops to support small fraction of its population. Moreover, since dense relief characterizes the terrain, and the bedrocks do not allow rainwater to pass through, under ground water formation process is almost none. Deep soil formation is an evolutionary process. It takes between 300 to 400 years depending on the type of bedrock and the availability of water. Therefore, the problem is very far from being solved in the near future. That is why TPLF grabbed fertile land from Wolo and Gondar.

Tigray has also geo-political problem. They have several hundreds of kilometers border with Eritrea. There is ferocious competition between “Shabia” and “TPLF” for acquiring economic and military power superiority in the region. TPLF is building the power by the cost of Ethiopian resources and human lives. “Shabia” does not want to see strong military presence and developed economy in “Tigray”. It is always in alert to crash “Woyane” at any time when “Woyane” loses the support from other parts of Ethiopia. Thus if Ethiopia disintegrates as TPLF wants it to be, “Shabia” undoubtedly will invade “Tigray”.

Despite all these drawbacks, the “Tigray” people are true Ethiopians. Like other Ethiopians, they defended the country from foreign aggressors. They died for Ethiopia whenever the country was in distress. Like all other Ethiopian, they are good and helpful people who can coexist with others. However, the current atrocities committed by the TPLF might cause others to develop hatred towards the “Tigreans”. TPLF is acting in the Ethiopian political system by the name of the “Tigray” people. TPLF brought Tigrean soldiers from Mekele to kill innocent and unarmed people in Addis Ababa. It was evident that Tigrean soldiers were the main actors in the recent massacre. It is not surprising if one develop hatred against “Tigreans”. The massacre committed by the Tigrean soldiers against innocent citizen of the country would have been the beginning of interhamway if not for the patience of the Ethiopians. Still it will be considered as the beginning if war begins against Tigrean soldier in the future. Because, the barbaric action of Tigray soldiers left some bad impression in the peoples mind. Moreover, most “Tigreans” in the country and abroad support TPLF’s action. They do not want to denounce the killings and crimes committed by TPLF. It is expected from all of us to condemn TPLF for its actions in destabilizing Ethiopia. Otherwise, the consequence will severely affect above all the “Tigray” people.

What shall we do?

In May 15, 2005, the Ethiopians spoke in one voice that they do not want “Woyane” any more. Under normal circumstances, the Addis Ababa result would be a true representation of the whole country. TPLF’s response to this message was to kill innocent people indiscriminately. The brutal massacre committed by “Woyane” against innocent Ethiopians tells us that, “Woyane” will never give up its power peacefully. It is what we have to expect from a government in a pluralistic society when it comes out of minority population where there are other majorities. Because, it cannot get majority representation in democratic way. Totalitarian rule is the only way of survival for TPLF. Already, it has started desperate move to eliminate opposition leaders, members, supporters and innocent people who did not want to vote for it. It is pushing its toy political organizations, formed from other nationalities, to cause ethnic violence. If we allow these criminals to rule for the next five years, opposition members and their supporters in particular and the Ethiopian people in general will be the victim of secrete assassinations. There will be a wide scale robbery of our poor and dwindling assets. They will worsen our poverty.

Since we are a poor nation, the International community did not want to support our people’s effort for democratic transformation as it did for others like Ukraine and Georgia that are geopolitically and economically more important. It did not even want to denounce the murderous action of the TPLF. Rather leading nations of the international community told both the dead and the killers equally to refrain from violence. They forced imprisoned opposition leaders to sign agreement with “Woyane” while they are in prison. The world’s major Medias have almost ignored our trouble. We are given little or no coverage. They talk much about the so-called opposition gains of 174 seats from 12 seats five years a go, which is nonsense. Nowadays, they have started to say true democracy does not work in a poor country like Ethiopia. The June 13, 2005 on-line edition of “The Guardian” wrote the following. “To maintain democratic politics in a country as poor as Ethiopia is a hugely difficult task”. In contemporary world, the fate of the people demand for human and democratic rights of the poor nations is determined by the national interest of the rich nations. I.e., if powerful nation such us U.S.A thinks that a regime like TPLF is good for its national interest; it ally with TPLF irrespective of whether it is fascist or dictatorial. Therefore, we do not have to expect much from the international community. We have to act by ourselves.

Recently, TPLF leaders have started a new campaign of arresting torturing and killing of Ethiopian intellectuals in all parts of the country. The objective (as they said) is to break the backbone of “Neftegna” once again. It was decided in the secret meeting of the central committee of TPLF on June 16/17, 2005 in “Mekele”. The campaign is to eliminate our intellectuals so that TPLF leaders can assure sustainable occupation of our lands and promote their racial rule safely. All nationalities of the country have suffered a lot by the regime of TPLF. We the “Amharas” have suffered the most. Let me state some facts.
“Woyane” officially took our fertile lands, which might be about hundred times of “Badime” from “Gondar” and “Wollo” by declaring that it is a part of “Tigray” region. Unofficially, they settled their people who were returned from Sudan refugee camps in the fertile western low lands of “Gondar” and “Gojam”, which is in “Amhara” region even on their new regional map. This area traditionally has been a winter grazing land for the highlanders and an agricultural land for those that cannot find land in the high land. Now our people cannot go there since the new “Tigrian” settlers are armed. This is occupation. Is it acceptable for a people to be occupied by others that are in the same socio-economic strata of the society in this 21st century? No. We have to deal with the situation as soon as possible.
“Woyane” crippled our educational system. They closed many of our elementary and high schools by denying government funding while they create new ones for their own. “Woyane” is doing all these evil actions deliberately so that our future generation will not be able to take part in the decision making process of the country’s future political and economic system.
It made our people suffer from abject poverty to the extent that the people do not think at anything other than what to eat next day.
This is the tip of the iceberg of what the TPLF regime has done to our people. It is humiliation for those of us, who have been educated with the money of our poor people, but cannot act against these evil practices. It is dishonor for us not to come up with feasible strategy to free our people from TPLF’s occupation. Is there any convincing rationale to take our lands? What assurance do we have that we will live together forever? TPLF still exists with its program of liberating “Tigray”. How can we trust “Woyane”? All its activities are kept secret from our people including from those who are working with it. In 1954, when Khrushchev, a Ukrainian, the president of the Soviet Union of the time, gave Crimea, a geopolitical strategic land in the Black Sea, in the heart of the big Euro-Asian landmass to Ukraine, the Russians did not think that Ukraine and Russia would separate in the future. Today they are two separate states and the Crimea land belongs to Ukraine. By 2017, the Russians will have to withdraw completely all their military and civilian facilities from that land. This tells us that in today’s dynamic world, there is no guarantee that different people will live together forever. Therefore, we literate people of the region have to come up with new feasible strategy to uproot TPLF’s occupation of our land before it become too deep rooted.
Let me forward my opinion. A regime that came to power with force should be removed with force. There is a legitimate ground to form armed opposition group in Ethiopia since “woyane” suppressed peoples’ vote by gun. Guns can be repealed only with gun. How can the oppositions control the army and the police even if they win the election? All officers and majority of soldiers belong to TPLF and its toy political organization. Unlike other democratic systems, the army and police forces in Ethiopia are partisan entities. Elites in these forces are among the founders of TPLF. In addition, most commanders and staff officers of tactical and operational units and others under officer ranking personals have been fighters of TPLF. Looking at these facts it is possible to say that the current army is loyal to TPLF than to the people or the country. It has proven its loyalty by killing people. If the oppositions take power, there will certainly be a military coup d'état. Therefore, it is imperative to form armed opposition party in Ethiopia. Ethiopians need vanguard party to fight against “TPLF” tribalism. It is difficult time for Ethiopia. Responsible citizens have to come up with some new ideas. We need to ally with any outsider including Eritrea if it is helpful to crash “Woyane”. We can have a long-term and short-term alliance with Eritrea based on both of our people interest. Eritrea is a country that has the recognition of the world body. The first government who gave recognition was the “Woyane” Government. We need to have a new approach on this issue. There is no permanent enemy or friend in international relationship. Today’s friend may be tomorrow’s enemy and vice versa. We have to look always at the opportunities for our people to get the optimum benefit. We can have a short term and long term strategic alliance. In the short run, we crush our common enemy “Woyane”. In the long run, we can be good trade partners. They are good customer and good consumers. They want our products and we want theirs. We have territorial contiguity that facilitates the relationship. This certainly will benefit our people. The only thing they need from us is to recognize that “Badime”, which Prime Minister Meles himself agreed in principle that it is their land, is theirs. We honor Ethiopians who died in “Badime”. However, since the fundamental objective of TPLF to create Tigray republic and disintegrate Ethiopia still exists it is difficult to see the issue of “Badime” as the issue of Ethiopia. As a rational man, who thinks to maximize our people’s benefit, I do not have to worry on the issue of “Badime” since “Woyane” has taken a big chunk of land that might be hundred times of “Badime” in value and size from Gondar and Wollo. I think it is not in our interest to say we do not want to have any kind of relationship with Eritrea unless the “Badime” situation is resolved. “Tigray’s” long-term development plan is self-centered. We are unwise, if we anticipate a trickle down development from “Tigray” that benefit the nation as a whole. Rather as time goes, they will take more of ours. Under their rule, as each year passes, they will take us two years back. Therefore, let us come up with urgent plans that can benefit our people; that can remove “Woyane’s” yoke from the shoulders our people.

EXPLORER

There is nothing in the article worth reading twice. In fact it is largely filled with classical demagoguery and failed to suggest any solution to get Ethiopia out of its predicament. Sadly, it also calls for a civil war. What a shame! Why then some of you would want to “give your life” for somebody’s opinion you don’t even know where it came from? I can easly suggest that Shabia could author that piece. (I hope I am not harsh)

Yilma,

Your guess as to who might have authored the proposition is as as good any one else’s guess. The point, however, is whether or not this alternative is not plausible albeit farfetched, and all odds of removing TPLF/Woyane are against the people.

Does it matter if the enemy of your enemies is your friend, and if the end justifies the means to save Ethiopia from the demise of Woyane/TPLF scourge?

My friend, when it comes to a nations survival, expediency makes strange bedfellow.

Beheg Amlack

Whoaaa! This is a classical example of staff I would expect comes from Shabia. I appreciated the fact that the guy openely stated the problems the Amhara people face under this government. Many people are afraid to say as they are hit fast by self acclaimed "progressives" that its racism to mention that. Things have got to be discussed openely! Yes, TPLF is leading the rest of Ethiopians into developing hatred for Tigrians by favoring them, and Tigrians are being seduced by all the benefits they get from the favor and are without question turning against their Ethiopian brothers and sisters. Period. People ought to get over this fact.

However, using this to turn the rest of Ethiopians against Tigrians is not appropriate. They are humans and they get corrupted. Further than that, I believe, at the bottom of their heart lies Ethiopianness. I don't think the majority of Tigrayans wanna secede, neither do I think they wanna put a stop to prospering on the expense of the rest of Ethiopians either. But but but...civil war is no answer to this problem at all! TPLF has gotta go is very true, but let's keep our eyes open and not associate it with the Tigrayans. I know most of them support TPLF just for carrying their names, but regardless, if we really believe in the Unity of Ethiopia, this must be one of the most difficult sacrifice for us - being able to differenciate between the people of Tigray and TPLF. For unity's sake, let's just target our real enemy - TPLF!

This Kefagn article said Amhara suffered most than any body else as if they have tallied and made statistical data. First Amharas interest has been promotted from 12th century untill 1991. That is with minor interruption by the Italians and Ate Yohannes. Second the interest of Amharas is of little concern to Kembata, Oromos and the like. We say "they brought it to themselves". It make the current struggle trivial and subregional. I have never heard that Amharas complaining about the treatment of the people of Hadiyas, Kembatas and etc by EPDRF, DERG OR HAILE SELLASIE unless they think it would help to mobilize people to Amharas cause. I should say with the exception of EPRP. Kefagn is supposed to be the wild wild west of the Amhara might but it has never been proven yet. The article might be authored by SHABIA as some suggested but I wonder if Amharas are stupid enough to rise up by themselves that would lead to their own demise. Do you think rest of Ethiopia would sit and watch. Remember, OLF and others are waiting for such a moment. Work towards united action not petty Amhara interest. If we have to complain from A to Z about the persecution of indigenous peoples in Abyssinia we could write a set of books bigger than a given volume of encyclopedia.
Stop the ignorance.

To: Behig Amalk

I am not sure I want to agree with you. At least, I no longer prescribe to the Maoist theory of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. This is a zero-sum approach that failed EPRP in the 70s which it has not recovered yet. There is a new "song" in Ethiopia: peaceful struggle for democratic and prosperous nation, even when the going gets tough. This was a concept often neglected within the vocal Diaspora until the May 15 election results. I think it is constructive to take note of past mistakes and learn.

To: Ze Abyssinian and VJ

I am in agreement with you. Hate by association is unfair, and Civil war is not an alternative. Right now, all Ethiopians need to exert pressure on EPRDF to account every vote of May 15-should they win fair and square, I will tip my hat and accept them as the next legitimate government even if I disagree with their policies. If they lose, they must honor their word and become the next opposition block. Ethiopia can be Africa’s “Hope” if the current democratic cultural revolution takes root. It takes two to tango, as they they say...

Yilma,

It seems some of us or others tend to be caught up in historical failures to discredit viable options for dealing with prestn challenges. The totalitarian dictators realizez more than any one that the only way they will relinquish power is by the same means they acquire it, and not through democratic process or exercise. The current dictator declared that they shall never transfer power they acquired with their blood and that they are prepared to fight any opposition with their last man and the last bullet. Such declaration should convince anyone of the alternative of last resort. It is only through armed force that such an intransigent regime could be toppled.

The mistakes and failures of past struggles should never preclude considering an option most appropriate for the challenge. Past failures are a misnomer and one has to do a post-mortem from which one would learn the mistakes to avoid…. No two historical events in history, be it revolutions or political movements are alike and identical. In other words, one cannot be present minded about past mistakes. When it comes to saving a nation every stone should be turned and every viableoption should be considered. Unfortunately, Ethiopia cannot look to the USA, EU, and UK for help beyond their lip service. Ethiopia is not a geopolitical entity of any significance as to warrant the US, EU, and UK to dispatch their forces and extract the dictator, Meles/TPLF.

Selam Ato. Beheg Amlack

Please “Beheg Amlack Yijzehalehu” you must learn from the past.

What I was saying is that utopians like that of EPRP linger in Maoist culture of the seventies, gutter politics that is, while the nation they once loved dearly moved on. They should also move on; I suppose! They or their supporters seem to get trapped in “historical failures”, to use your own wording.

Regardless, I love you brother!

Yilma
What do you mean? We are already at civil war in which one side is armed to the neck and the other side is empty-handed. Each day innocent people are arrested tortured and killed by the tyrant TPLF regime for the only reason that they do not want to vote for the racist regime. You don’t think that this people are the victims of the invisible civil war? My brother, at present, whether you like it or not, most Ethiopians; students, farmers civil servants prefer to fight than being surrender to the tyrant regime. This is the real atmosphere in Ethiopia.

City: Addis Ababa

I cannot understand why some of you harshly concluded that the article is prepared by shabia. It is written by a concerned Ethiopian who represents the valiant sons of Ethiopia. Although our number is small, we are devoted fighters determined to fight TPLF. We are organized in strong independent platoons that can select targets, plan and conduct hit and run operations independently. We are in Ethiopia. We are living with the people. We will soon start operations in the north-central and northwestern part of the country. We call for the Ethiopian people to cooperate our fighters by providing information they need, and offering accomodation, protection and hideouts in case of operation failure. We call for the young to join us to destroy TPLF so that our future generation can live freely.
Down TPLF.

Ethiopia is unfortunate enough to have a person like you. You are unworthy person.

G/S:
You must have been looking in the mirror when you were saying these negative remarks. You and people like yourself are the one who are causing all these misery to the children of Ethiopia. People with your mind set are the ones who are responsible for the genocide in Rewanda. It is unfortunate Ethiopia has children like you to cause her this much chaos.
Gebre you don’t have room to talk. You are an embracement to all Ethiopians.

I am truly surprised that some of you often choose to take the easy way out when it comes to accommodating dissenting views. My idea of democratic Ethiopia is where all views, faiths, and cultures can be expressed without fear to vengeance and/or persecution. Ethiopia is strong and beautiful because of its diversity, which, I believe, has been the source of its strength even during difficult times. Just for a change, can you try to simply love each other? Mamo Quilo mentioned about “holy spirit”; may be he has a point. Some of us should try it. (I don’t rule out miracles-who cares if it works.)

With love, as always!

Do “Amhara” need organized armed group?

During the last fourteen years of TPLF rule, ethnically based organized armed groups have been proliferated in almost all nationalities except “Amhara”. In “Amhara”, the reverse took place. It has been disarmament. Let alone to organize armed groups, private light guns that traditionally farmers used to defend them selves and their properties from bandits have been confiscated by TPLF cadres. I.e. during the last fourteen years, “Amhara” has been completely disarmed while other nationalities have been armed to the neck and created organized armed groups. It has not been enough for TPLF to fulfill its daydream to destroy the “Amhara” society. After disarming us, TPLF encourages ethnic violence in the country. What does it tell us? It is simple. TPLF wants us to be the victim of civil war if it erupts as they planed it. It is good to be optimistic that there will no be ethnic conflict in Ethiopia. However, it is also good idea to prepare for the worst. Until present time, we have sacrificed our values interests and dignity to keep Ethiopia’s integrity. We have tolerated all what TPLF did to destroy us, for the sake of Ethiopia. We should have deserved a respect for all the sacrifices we did. However, still we see that, after fourteen years of TPLF tribal and dictatorial rule, some people are pointing their finger at us. Moreover, TPLF continues agitating other people to rise against “Amhara”. Here the question is, is it possible to continue our tolerances and sacrifices like those that we have done before? No. This will led us to the complete destruction of the tradition, culture and history of our society. Therefore, we need to have a new approach that can meet the current challenges. One of the multiple approaches we can meet this contemporary challenge is by creating organized armed opposition group. We need to have organized armed opposition group to defend our people and interest. We are peaceful people. It is not to threaten others but to have mutual respect with the others. If two individuals are equally powerful, they will respect each other. However, if one is strong and the other is week, there will be a superior and inferior relation ship between them. Therefore, since we are living in a multi ethnic country, we need to be as strong as others are. We do not have to hesitate to speak openly about our interest and to fight for it. We have to be proud about what we did for Ethiopia. We have to speak openly about it. Time is out for being silence. Any one or group can say what ever it likes. Already we are said “Neftegna”, “Timikhitegna” and many others. Nothing is left to say. We need to show explicitly our pride for being “Neftegna”. We will continue to struggle for strong Ethiopia. However, this time, not by tolerate TPLF’s occupation but being strong and by confrontation. Ethiopia has lived for several thousand years and will live forever. It might shrink in size as it did before. However, it will live forever. Because we are Ethiopian, we like our Ethiopian-ness and we will live forever.

WHOIS THIS ANINALEM=EPLF???

IS THAT a message from EPLF? No thank you, not with ... this same EPLF.

ouch, WATCH OUT..

NOOOO, NO, THANK YOU

Zimita,
I do not know how you are planning to arm your tribe.
Today most rebellion is branded with terrorism. There is not even one neighbouring country that is sympathetic to Amharas. You guys better stick to the Ethiopian plan that is the only formula that can work
for you and everybody else. As fro me my tribe is armed unlike the old days and most of my tribes men practised in the Badame war so we are not going to loose 1 inch of our traditional land. I said before OLF is waiting for such moment. If it comes to that Oromos and southern people will control Ethiopia. Yes we do not trust Amharas. We should base everything on
respect.

Hagos,
do not get upset I said wrote that to Zimite how ugly it gets if incase he is AMAHARA and not Eritrean as others suggested above.

Hi VJ
The Oromo can rule Ethiopia. What is the surprise in it? They are majority. Better to be ruled by majority than minority. This is what democracy is about. Minority has always a filling of inferiority complex and its method of governance emanates from these complexities. This makes the minority government coward. Cowards are always killers and merciless. This is what TPLF is.

Kefagne,
I realy like it. It's interesting to read and cool.
Down to Meles and his sick as..subordinates!!!
Down to Woyane and victory to Ethiopian people!

City bird

Kefagn & Zimita,
If you are really serious why bring your plans in the open. Plan and organize in private. Also start learning other Ethiopian languages as soon as possible, at least to understand it. I am an Ethiopian at heart, but if any other people try to kill my family I will defend my family by any means necessary. Meles has created a scar that will never heal for generation to come. I hope and pray Meles comes to his senses if he has any. It is a never-ending nightmare. I hope we don’t come to this. He can disarm all he wants, he cannot kill the person’s will. I know my people, they are kind but if push comes to shove, they won’t stand and watch.

I hope God will prevail not evil.

Kefagn,

I don’t think you are Amhara. You are one of those Woyanes to spread propaganda. At the same time, if other ethnic groups organize and ready to fight there is no reason for Amharas to sit in the corner and wait to be slaughtered by some hate mongers. (May the Holy Sprit stop this evil) The problem with hate is it spreads faster than wild fire. When you try to kill some one else’s child your own kid might get killed. It is a never-ending process, unless some reasonable leader stops it. It is obvious Meles is an arsonist not the fire fighter. Satan is busier than ever to spread hate and misery around the world. We must fight this enemy with the power of God. Please don’t tell me you are a Christian or a spiritual person and at the same time ready to cause injury, loss, pain or other evil. God and evil don’t go together.

God Bless Ethiopia
