This is a long article that is written by one Ethiopian and it seems that Ethiopian people need badly dailogue and institutions building.
If the opposition parties are only good at attacking the state media, the justice system and the national election commission, and the ruling party clever in undermining their impartiality and integrity, there will be little or nothing left to maintain a credible relationship and dialogue within society and among the various interest groups.
It is legitimate to criticize these institutions. Nonetheless, it is irresponsible to work to undermine, if not dismantle, them. The outcome would be administrative chaos and political instability.
How come there is hardly anyone both in the ruling party and the opposition ready to realise that the value of these institutions is at stake?
It takes the work of generations to build institutions, which are pillars of an open and
democratic society. These are some of the key institutions that help sustain the functions of a modern and democratic state.
It is necessary to criticize and reform them, and make them more in tune with the demands of democracy and a free society. But, it would be a serious mistake to undermine them both from within by the incumbent and from without by the opposition parties in their zeal to submit them to their respective partisan interests.
Yes, I posted the article as it is and look what the filthy mind Mamo Qilo has responded negatively.
======================================================
Gebrelekuskus's situation has transgressed from "disoriented" to "clinically hallucinating". He no longer distinguishes the difference between what is governement propoganda from a substantiated criticism against the government.
Zenawi and his cadres have dessimated well established Ethiopian institutions ever since they seized power through violence and blood shed.they have put in place ethnic based, cadre led surrogate institutions to serve their needs and whose main function is to prey on and to act as spies on workers at work place.
The state media is monopolised and the free press only exists on the edge, putting their lives in danger from attacks by the regime. Most who work in the free press are regularly banned,imprisoned and put out of business with huge fines the regime puts on them.
Institutions need a democratic system to flourish; where there is no favouritism, no fear of persecutions by woyane security agents.
There is no point blaming the opposition for the problem. They try to make the best of the little room they are allowed to manoeuvre in.
