Having an opposition party is great step to getting closer to a democracy people should have choice rather than one old party in power for ever, its time to imitate the west rather than be stuck in the stone ages

Well, I think this is a great news. Of course, we always have to be very cautious, but I think this news suggests that the Opposition is getting its act together. Frankly, there might even be an outside approval, perhaps from North America, to give it a shot one more time, except that this time,less than the top office for Birtukan will not be acceptable.

I predict the new party will give the gov a surprise play in democracy. We will see.

In the last decade there was so many weak parties like Unity for Democracy and Justice. So what’s new?

In the Umbrela of KINIJIT Birtukan and her fellows have no voice.

Weak parties only important for EPRDF… Like Beyene Petros.
