I heard the Dictator (Meles) preaches about good governance in so many situations.
One of the elements in Good governance is delegation of authority with confidence on the basis of embracing all. Government is supposed to be one of the actors in governance.
All actors other than government and the military are grouped together as part of the “civil society.”

Sadly Woyane has its own definition of good governance.
There was no domination of leadership positions by one race in History of Ethiopia, except for the Woyane. I think when the Italians invaded Ethiopia in the 1930′s they were all Italians. A little extreme but close.

It is hard to comprehend, how woyanees can get away with this. To create division among us, Meles and Esayas have been misinforming Oromos for years that only Amharas were ruling Ethiopia. Unfortunately, some have been brainwashed by this fabricated story and have created OLF. I hope the opposition parties make this report available to all Ethiopians in every part of Ethiopia.

AND ALSO LETS NOT FORGET BESIDES WE HAVE OUR OWN WRTING LETTERS AND REATEN NUMBERS AND A NATIONAL LANGUJ, THE MODERN EDUCATION IS A VERY RESENT THING IN ETHIOPIA. MODERN EDUCATION
STARTED IN THE LAST DAY’S OF KING MINILICE AND AND REALY HAPPEND AT THE TIME OF HAILE SILASSY.

SO IT IS AMESING TO ME HOW MANY EDUCATED ETHIOPIANS THERE ARE IN THE WORLD. SPECIALY AFTER
ALL OF THAT KILLNG OF STUDENTS AND EDUCATED ETHIOPIAN MAN IN THE DERG RIGIOM.

SO EDUCATION IS NOT SOME THING WE CAN TAKE AGAINST EACH OTHER US LIKE ONLY THIS AND THAT IS EDUCATED AND SO ON……. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN EVERY THING TAKES TIME TO GET USE TO AND TO
SPRED THE WEDOM. AND TO CONVIC EVERY ONE ABOUT WHAT EVER THEY NEED OR NEED TO DO.

WE HAVE PEOPLE IN ETHIOPIA WHO DOESN’T WANT TO TOUCH PEOPLE IF THEY HAVE A LIGHTER SKIN COLOR
THAN THEM OT IF THEY ARE WEARING CLOTHES SO THAT IS WHAT I MENT BY IT TAKES TIME AND EFFORT
TO CEREAT THIS AWEARNESS OF EDUCATION AND SIVILAZATION TO SOME PARTS OF ETHIOPIA.

AND IT IS A NEW THING TO BEIGEN WITH AND LETS NOT FORGET THAT MENGISTU WAS A FOURTH GRADER
WHEN HE TOOK POWER AND THAT TELLS YOU, THE LUCK OF EDUCATION AND EDUCATED POWER IN THE SOCITY AND THE COUNTRY. WHICH WHERE NOT TO MANY AND MOST OF THEM GOT KILLED BY THE DERG RIGIOM. SO WE NEED TO PUSH EDUCATION IN ETHIOPIA IF PEOPLE WANTS TO LIVE PEAC FULLY AND EQUALY
AND INVOLVED WITH EACH OTHER AND THE COUNTRY US LEADRS AND WHAT EVER THEY NEED TO BE EDUCATED AND HMBELD AND FEARLESS AND UNITED AND FREE AND SO ON………..

THANKS!

We thank you much for this. What would prime Melese say now, when this is known to the public,
after his insult to the US diplomat saying, “idiocy”, this has not been true so.

Abbay media,

I advise G7 leadership to be interviewed on VOA and / or DW concerning the research findings. Please push them to do so.

Tigrean People’s Democratic Movement (TPDM) fighters on Feb. 17 carried out a successful military operation against Woyanne forces in Tigray, northern Ethiopia.

The TPDM fighters attacked Woyanne’s 31st army division that was stationed at Adi Dahero Woreda (district) in western Tigray, killing 43 and wounding 24 enemy troops.

During the fighting that took place from 7 AM – 1 PM, the TPDM fighters captured sniper rifles, AK47s, hand grenades and other types of military hardware. More at TPDM’s web site: demhit.com

Where have you been? Many from the begining have called to rise up and challenge the the venomous TPLF.I can innumerate the names of those who suggested this nobel idea,Dr.Lema,DR,Getachew,Yelikal Admasu,Mazash,Adefrese and a host of others.None not one was infavour of this call then. Only one person from the bove commentaters who signed as ABBY acurately acceptes responsiblity-He said we have been sleeping,more than that my friend we have been deceived,we were lead to believe the west will definetely liberate Ethiopia.Some are still suggesting G7 to take this case to humanright orgs.As far back it has been told us the paridigm in Washington is not between Democrat and Republican,liberal and conservative but between the people and the elit.So,we thought the best strategy will be to educate grass root movments that are sweeping the west about the plight of Ethiopians.Once again the push was to go to white house lawn and worship the human gods. when the call to rise made,many were indifferent,because the ralaying cray of the time was democracy.The above individuals when they made this call it is not because they were war mongering or acting on the fring but because of their distrust to TPLF.they have wached this frong very closely and are well acquinted with its inner workings,thanks to the laquacious crowed.
