The one and only grantee for freedom is to reject anyone without the mandate to rule, no exception. The sooner we accept that reality, to the minimum we won’t be pawns for any tyrant. It would be a giant step in the right direction.

As to Melse Zenawi, he is the symptom of our indecision. It wouldn’t make any difference if he is dead or alive. More like him are ready to replace him. The fact we talk about him says more about our inability to figure out what we want. He happened to be in the right place at the right time to exploit our indecision.

Ethiopia’s best days are still ahead of her. Wish the current party who is rulling the country can be more honest and streight with the people. Everbody knows what’s goin on…why make a fool of yourself and in the process a fool of all of us.

Ethiopians are anyting but fools. “Enquan ehen, ye zinb tengara enawqalen!”

Meles was not perfect! He has said many idiotic things over the years including that “Albania was a model country that he wished to imitate as a leader.” It might sound funny now but he did say that when he was young, hot tempered, and die-hard communist. But in retrospect even Meles knows that Albania is in fact the only country in Europe where they still use donkey for transportation (in some place in the countryside). In other words, Ethiopia is much better than Albania! Of course, who can forget his historical error of not advocating for the deserved statue of one his predecessors at the new African Union Headquarters? Many, many, mistakes to fill a whole blackboard. But, at the end, as Meles got older, he was beginning to appreciate the power of Ethiopia and his place in its history. That’s why he launched a marathon development projects. As any dictator, he over stayed his welcome by at least 10 years. Meles should have resigned two years ago. He should have known that economic achievment alone, and one-legged (ankasa) democarcy can not lead to greatness. Had he resigned in 2010, today the conversation would have been much different and he would have secured his legacy and Ethiopia would have been at a much stronger position as a country. It can still be done!

There are many many evidence that shows Meles non patriotic, out of many: he said Ethiopia’s flag is a piece of cloth that it has no symbolic. Go out and search even dictators who rule their country saying that, he also said Ethiopia’s history is only 100 years old. You see there are many leaders in the world, who may not like the preceding system that they now control do not say negative things about past leaders let along spout their unpatriotism in public. Because it is not professional in the first place and it never heard of in any nation’s history. If they have strong feelings, they keep it very private. What can I say, many many evidence is piling what the Meles regime has done that is not patriotic just because they didn’t like past regme. Take a look at South Africa, they have experienced the worst crime under apartheid. As smart they are, you don’t need to be educated, they let by gones be by gones and in unity they are leading the country.

On another note, is anyone thinking it is wierd? The dictators of Arab nations are being thrown out by movement and “Arab Spring” that is also empowering their people. The dictators of Sub Saharan Africans are biting the dust or decapacitated…uh.. at alarming rate. Is it coincidence? What is the difference between Arab Spring vs dictators being decapacitated? The Arab Spring as I mentioned above is empowering the people giving them more voice than before and most likely their political system will be more participatory because they struggled for it. Where as, the Sub Saharan countries, the people are forced to get caught in surprise leaving a vaccum and unrest, and chaos. A this happens agents slip in and take over without the people of the nation knowing about it and most likely not to get better and in fact the worst case of dictatorhsip could emerge and their nations losing their sovereignty. Just analysing this pattern.

“This is the problem with African leader’s good or bad ones.”

Gobez are you out of your mind? Mention one other leader in Africa other than Nelson Mandela who can be called good. All of them are sick totalitarians. Meles being the top dictator.

Coming to the current crisis of the MIA PM i think this is was orginally a plot to discredit the oppostion in the people’s eye. Of course, as usual they fell into the trap saying he’s dead and celebrating…embaressing. on the rulling EPRDF they droped the ball again, this time for sure. more embaressing. now, i am thinking, is this the alterntive? both sides are playing politics, we are just collatral damage.

Meles is a pure murderer to individuals in specific and to the our country he deeply hates in general. It is always a paradox when one recognizes that the so called leader hates the country he is taking advantage of every day. The country he was born, grown, got couple of scholarships and finally control to use all her resources to his own benefit. And yet, he hates Ethiopia. Those who wish to see Meles again are only selfish ethnic centered individuals who lucks critical thinking.

We will never hear those arrogant false statements and ignorant remarks again. He is dead indeed. They are taking time to settle their fight for the money they have stolen and the grid of power every one around his dead body is innate.

I miss 40 days of work…I am fired y’ll!

Wihsing him speedy recovry tho, in case I am wrong!

Sincerely,

Truth
