it was nice if i put it in Amharic to open the forum for all to contribute for Ethiopia irrespective of their individual opinion or the motto which drive them from behind but i am not due to that i use some organizations internet access which did not have Ethiopic or other softwares to write Amharic. Despite that it is my idea to invite all intersted groups to bring Ethiopians to end the mysery which is put on us.
Before i enter to the issues i will remind my colleague Ethiopians please do not feel anything/anyone to discuss your mind because it is the core to bring unity and refined strategies and solutions to enhance democracy in our country(Ethiopia).
when i raised the question "Are we for or Against" it is open to all who can use this ediomatic word, to start with who are we? can one say individually we? whose representation have you? etc. But when i use this word it is only to open a forum to all Ethiopians (us) and mainly to us who everyday give our ideas in the different forums which are easily availed with the help of technology because of the access we have around us is better than our sisters,brothers,mothers,fathers,daughters and sons living in an open prison under the tyrant EPRDF Government.
What i want tp raise here are sequence of questions which i always try to get solutions but never find one so may be it could be the same to the likes of me.
When i say are we for or against what i mean is that are we against the emancipation of our people towards democracy? Do we always dream of democracy and stay to hinder its way? Are we realy on the right mind when we envy democratic Ethiopia? Are we always see division and subtraction as a means rather than multiplication and addition? Are we sometimes driven by egos than good will? Are we for cultism not against it?
As to my experience and the history of the struggle for democracy in Ethiopia backs far more years from my date of birth but the emancipation of our people still exists in my fifties,that, does not mean to why but it is better to ask why not, what reasons are curving it, is it/was it myopic or readiness was illusion?are we jut phrase mongerers and are blindfolded to have vision? have we special interest democracy will take out of us? does unity means a spear which will kill us as well our people?
Then let i bring some of my experiences to show the answer to all the questions above are yes except the question about envying democratic Ethiopia the reason can be set on the following reasoning.
1974-1991
From the start of the revolution the visionary parties have the same idea but different strategies to emancipate our people but that strategic fault brought the fall of the visioned parties and brought up 17 years of misery and murderers(i will let the details for historians and politicians (if any)).
1991-2005
As to my dairies and the past realities the number of hatching of parties in the country was the main aim of the ruling party and some who are not even ready to participate in the government came to vision as oppositions to orchestrate and agravate the misery and well blindfolded for the piece of place given to them and failed to farsight the revenge weded to them and fall to it and left playing the scene written to them.Moreover open up instruments of tyrany in their cooperation.
2005 till now
Atleast the wave of democracy was at the door of Ethiopian households in May 2005 but things which i raised as a question were more of a yes than a no so the cumulative effect was what we had seen it for the most 20 months after that,what was next to answer the above questions our politicians as wll as we ourselves were not on the right vision or track to say enough is enough to tyranny or to also cultism and we were fragmented because either we were in illusion/phrase mongerers/egoist.
What we see now a party which we said and believe had a vision is fragmented in to pieces which returns back to my core question "are we against or for".
As to me unless we individually think lonely and come to our mind first and second to evaluate ourselves how we contribute to the mass struggle of the people we are contributing to the misery of ourselves and our people.
The above idea is what i think which is against our peoples motto but for EPRDF a bonafide and lastly i call all Ethiopians to come to their mind and come under an umbrella to fight the regime and give their ideas later to the people to decide on their plans,programs and visions.
Let we raise ourselves to a new ways of thinking
