The responsibility for defending and safeguarding the hard won rights of our people lie in the hands of every patriotic Ethiopian within and outside the country. It must be clear that if democracy is to be the winner then, the verdict of the Ethiopian people must be respected. Joining the woyane parliament by the opposition parties can not be taken as an option. The Ethiopian people are not in the business of resurrecting a dead regime that has been defeated at the polls. There is no reason why, the crime and theft of the Woyane should be legitimized, and the sacrifices of our people should not be given away to appease enemies of the people. There is no other way to defend democracy.

The regime who have now turned themselves in to a gang of thieves and criminals should stop blackmailing, murdering, intimidating and jailing the people to remain in power by force and they must accept defeat gracefully. They must understand that they have no legitimacy to remain in power.

apparently is not a joke to someone in a hurry for money or power.
If Shawl can be part of fascist derg for money (in his own words) and Dr. Berhanu through Ms. Gomez and Dr. Merrara through Mr. Clark can approch EPRDF with proposals...this all tells me that there are people who don't want to do the nasty business of peoples job as an opposition.
They are all in a hurry, either to govern the country through some coup de etat in Addis, or join the governing party under some cover. None of them is prepared to travel to Jijiga to win hearts and minds or challenge the government on its failings about a tribe problem in some corner, a hydro electric dam in another or a fiber optic laying in a different part of the country.
They don't give two bits of whats happening outside Addis Ababa.
Now Addis Ababa has exposed itself to a level of indecency, she will be put in her proper place by the state and federal parliaments. The coup plotters will have to find another job.

Whatever label you put on those well educated professionals, the oppositions, they elected by the Ethiopian people unlike the bunch of high school drop outs Meles and the associates. Those opposition leaders have done what they can for their country unlike Melse and co. who has been working all his life how destroy Ethiopia.
Engineer Hailu Shawel have been all over Ethiopia working for different organizations. Every Ethiopian has been engaged in different sector in the past and even under Meles. It doesn't mean supporting the system. Tell me, as a leader, how many places Meles visited. He just hide himself in Addis. Ofcourse he has been in Tigray more than 101 times to spread his evil ethnic plitics.
