Re: Hailu Shawel was a Minister under the Derg! SO WHAT???
I STRONGLY DISAGREE with the statement that Derg was much better than woyane statement. It was not. Of course now we hate this regime and it is easy to say the good old days....
However,
I don't consider having soldiers come and search your house every year freedom.
I do not agree that the inability to come and go to visit your family freely from abroad freedom.
I do not agree having not even one independent newspaper freedom or democratic.
I do not agree forcing people to wear uniform to work as freedom,
I do not agree killing over 150,000 without shame or due process freedom/democratic
I do not agree the stifling private enterprise and the confiscation of property without compensation freedom.
I do not agree killing the educated force of our country as necessary or justified.
If you want to condemn EDPRF, go ahead and do so, but it an insult to those of us you have our families slaughtered to tell us they are better than Woyane. And it is a misrepresentation of the truth. Are they equally worse is another question.
