Abysinia,

Did you say polite and civil? Are you deceiving yourself or have been told to say so? Trust yourself and say what you think brother/sister. I'm talking about Meles. If what you've said is right, then Meles lost his mind not to live politeness by conceding defeat by opposition. You mentioned CUD. I do not unerstand why woyane supporters hate CUD? It is not the only opposition. To be honest with you, if CUD is considered the enemy of woyane, then the people who voted CUD and put CUD as a winner of May 15 election are enemy of woyane. Woyane who hates CUD is the enemy of the people by contrast. Civility and politeness do not hate people's choice.
There is a confusion here on woyane's side.
Pls, clear the cloud at that area which is impossible and too late.

The time is over for woyane completely!

Jomo,

I don't know where you are from, or your familiarity with the Weyane culture.
All her enemies always took for weakness, her polite and respectful culture. These are facts any organization that ever negotiated or fought in the field with or against Weyane can attest to.
If you can declare yourself a winner of an election where you didn't even contest 123 seats plus 31 reruns, what can I say.
The dislike of CUD has three reasons for me:
1. It was only CUD leaders that sloganeered "we will send them home". They did not consider the consequences in their blind rush for Addis coup/revolution
2. They have a good doze of fascist derg. Mr. Shawl took a good three questions to admit he was derg for only two years for money and didn't say a word of the regime. No sense of regret of what happened to the country and people of those times. He is just a defeated still not repentant or regretful derg. A lot of them are like that. Beaten, but bitter.

3. They campaign to stop aid to ethiopia unless they come to power. Thats extreme for a starving country. There is a CUDite I know, who avoided volunteering to raise funds in 1984, but now writes letters, demonstartes to stop aid to ethiopia.

If thats not enough to make an activist out of a very ordinary, small man, like me, i don't know what will.

At least, Meles knows what he is after and knows what he wants. He has more brain cells than a bunch of OLF donkeys.

sir/madam,

why do you jump at mesadebna manquashesh in haste? Could it be that the sinsetr weyane is throwing this test balloons to get your ilk worked up to oblivion?

Give it some time. Have some patience. don't panic. it will all work out to its proper end.

I think for some their political party is becoming like cult, esp for those brainwashed cadres. They are scared to death to criticise their own. They're trained to accept whatever comes from the party or group. There is a consequence if they open their mouth against anyway. In extreme cases, they do not utter anything against even they left in a room alone. They became a robot which is programmed to do what the position of a button is. I followed in all forums, either knowingly or not, all cultic political group tone the same. Woyane is one of them. Have you guys ever seen someone from their own criticise. Never! If they kill 42, the reason is "they know why they did it...donot worry". What a suicidal thought!
That is exactly what a new type of slavery looks like.

Wake up guy! ... it is 21st century. Let's act,talk,walk,think,debate...as it is with logic, with sensible talk.
Woyane knows what to do? I realy doubt.

Dear Jamo, its seems, after raising an interesting topic and continued with interesting arguments, you are missing the right way to continue your argument. Absisinia has given you his justifications why he hate the CUD. Try to counter attack his ideas to convince him or if satisfied to be convinced. It is uncivil to jump to a character assasination type arguments. This is where most of us are losing the right way.

If we are not convinced that the EPRDF is not the winner of the election, we have to prove if the CUD has won it. How do we expect the EPRDF supporters to concede while we are doing totally a different thing. Absinnia told you the CUD has not at list compete for than 150 seats to win the Election. This is, as far as I know true. Tell us if the CUD has a miracle to win leaving free 150 seats for the EPRDF.Otherwise it will not convine a neutral body to accept that the CUD with -150 seats is the winner while the EPRDF is the loser competing for all 547 is the loser.

However I am touched by the new news about the relation of the OLF and EPRDF. It seems a real danger for our country is coming. We have to discuss the isue genuinely. Let us avoid hate and respect each others personality not necessarily our views

With regards

Please ban Amare. He has been making inflammatory remarks pretending to be Amhara. A dangerous person like him deserves to be banned.

Do not worry I am investigating who are the liers and most likely you will be one of those to be banned. When you lie a bit
