Ethiopia - Western Media echoes ONLF propaganda with out verifying

The Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) said it captures 7 towns in Ethiopia's Harereghe region, which was picked up by BBC, Reuters and AFP. ONLF which is adept at Cyber-Propaganda has a habit of sending emails to western media claiming victory. The report could not be independently confirmed as no journalists are allowed in the area. So why would the BBC, Reuters and AFP act as a conduit for ONLF propaganda by broadcasting unsubstantiated, unverified claims?

Knowing the Ogaden region & having up-to-date information up to the minute every day as concerned Ethiopian citizen, the places mentioned in the report have no military garrison/Police stations. Thanks.

Hi All,
ONLF is almost dead. They have to spread propaganda to get support from Shaebia and Egypt.They were trying to scare investors from searching oil in the Ogaden,but the investors ignored them because the investors sent their own investigation team to check the security and safety issue and the investigation team confirmed that Ogaden is now the safest place on earth.

Nice catch Nazret. There has been a media ponanza against Ethiopia for the last 12 or more years. However, it has gotten worst in the last three years. There is more to come. I think the West wants as usual to destroy the Horn of Africa. They do not want peace or developement. They rather hand out Aid than see those people feed themselves. Every Ethiopian, including all oppositions, we should watch out for the consequences of these media wars against Ethiopia. They see us tore each other and they want to add gasoline to the fire. The reason for all this nonsense world media coverage about this nonsense is that they do not want the oil to be used. That is the sole purpose of this reporting.

The ONLF offensive against TPLF led regime's army is true and authentic. I spoke to people inside Ogaden that you Abyssinians could not do it. Your denial is nothing more than resisting the defeat inflict Wayane Army in Ogaden. However, as 25 Wayane high rank military officers were slain including Haylu a head of intelengce in Hararge, please check the Mourning or griefing widows of lost officers in Addis Ababa and Mekele. Whether you deny it the reality or not, time is changing, and....

I don't like TPLF/EPRDF at all.
However, when it comes to Terrorist groups like ONLF, I am 200% with the government. These terrorists must be hunted down one by one and punished.

They heard about oil in that region and they wanted to be separated from Ethiopia. They should be diminished as soon as possible.

Nazret editor, you seem to be prejudiced towards ONLF. I was thinking that Nazret was rugalar media guarded by standards, where is the impartiality??? Having said that, you stated "the report could not be independently confirmed as no journalists are allowed in the area." Why didn't you say who sealed the area and why?

Whether you like it or not, ONLF and its people will continue fighting to deny Ethiopian occupation military sleep in peace on the Ogaden soil, that is what matters to us.

Besides, most western media contacted Woyana regime and no comment were provided...so what kind of verification were you looking for?

I have realized that we as ogadenis ar e not on war with Ethiopia but certain elements ,TPLF Tribal junta,who exploit the entire Country and want to stay power all the centuries to come.Why does TPLF asking the people to speak Tigre for the condition of hiring,that is grossly unfair.TPLF is causing trouble Socially,Political,Economical as well as Educationally.
I know why she is doing all these because it is serving her tribes of Eritrea.
TPLF do not want to solve the problems peacfully and never want to make the trade freely.

She is voilating human rights in oder to make ogaden feel Ethiopia's their direct enemy.There is no questiona that ONLF captured 7 cities and will capture more it is matter of time.

Death for Somalia,puntland,Somaliland, TPLF .

Vive Oromia,Ogadenia,Afars,Sidama,etc.

We are tired of secessionist forces. As an Ogadeni, I am an ethiopian and would fight against ONLF to the end. See what is happening in Somalia. Chaos, chaos and chaos. If ONLF are interested in Democracy and Equality, they should fight for Ethiopia and not raise a regional issue. I am against EPRDF, but will support EPRDF when it is fighting secessionist forces like ONLF, OLF etc. Ethiopia should follow an agressiv policy against secession. article 39 should be scraped. We should provide every region a reasonable autonomy, but not encourage secession buy not allowing the tribal communities not to interact. The Somalis should be able to live in the North part of the country and vice versa. Ethinic federalism should be replaced by a Unitary, democratic state or at least by some form of reasonable federalism where a somali can be a Head of Gondar or Tigray. We can do this by using the melting pot approach. Meles Zenawi is being ill advised by the Western countries to be guided by ethnic federalism of nine regions, which are not historically based. The concerns of our somali brothers and sisters are right. But ONLF is a shaebya led organization.

The future of the Horn is a united Ethiopia and a united Somalia. No Djoubiti, No Eritrea. These are ethiopian territories.

A warning to Egypt and Libya: We have to do something Egypt. I would like to have some arab slaves again. Maybe rechristinise them like Emperor Yohannes or shall we repatriate them to the Middle East where they migrated to Black Egypt some 1000 years ago. Egypt needs some heavy hand as the arabs are mostly primitive nomads who are savages to the core. We have to think about it.

The twenty four hour news media has to fill its programmes even if they knew the story is false. They knew that nobody remembers it after a couple of hours. But not in Ethiopia. Here they will remeber the non story by qouting and rewriting it as a fact for a long time. As in the ONLF case they use it to generate support from Ethiopia's enemies like Shabia. Eventhough I sympethise with the EPRDF they should do some kind of redrawing of the map concerning the Somali region. It doesn't make any sense. It used to be called Harar so why change it to Somalia. The only Somalia is in Somalia. The ONLF is a trojan horse of the old ambition of "Greater Somalia" so why should we sucumb to their ambition by calling it Somali region. Those milions inhabitants of todays Somali region are all from Somalia proper except about hundred thousand of Ogadenis who are born there. We all know that these rag tag half hungry desperados can never win from one of Africa's greatest armies. But they remain a headache for they are affecting investments in their so called region.

In this so called Somali region they have imprisoned a Somali convert Christian for distributing a bible. The Christian Ethiopians who have lived there for generations are not allowed to build a Church but have to forcibly contribute for building Mosques. Helo! this is suppose to be Ethiopia not Saudi Arabia where Bible and building Churches are forbiden. We have to deport all non Oganenis from there and make it an Ethiopian teritory once again. And let the ONLF animals kill each other as they are used to in their Mogadisho or Baidao.

We come to square one - which is nazret.com words against what these OLFA are claiming"
There is a saying that there is no smoke without a fire - Maybe their claim is a bit exaggerated but Meles soldiers are losing the moral in this part of the country -

Also if ever they lose the upcoming election Meles group don't want to hand to the opposition group " a smooth and calmer Ethiopia" Meles group will definitely hand to the opposition a very fragmented and troublesome Ethiopia - You wanted the power here is the headaches - have it all and enjoy"

We have to make BBC accountable. They should not meddle in our affairs. Do you hear anything about Israel? BBC and other shoud be made accountable for false news and for trying to provoke civil war in our beloved nation.

The British government should be told to behave in a civilized manner. I mean I do not support EPRDF. But I would go to war against secessionist forces to garantee the territorial integrity my country, whcih is the source of life for my people.

Behind all this is Egypt and the mad man in Libya. These idiots should be tamed. Cairo and Tripoli, we are coming to tame you. Islam will not protect you for you are evils.

By this opportunity, I call all ethiopians regardless of religion to support Israel. There are more 20 million christians in Ethiopia with jewish blood. The arabs should behave or otherwise we have to go to war to install new governments that support us, israel, south sudan and other african countries. Egypt's fate is already sealed - it is a colony of Israel. Isn't it? These barbar arabs should be tamed!

enough shelter and food in somalia.

If they dont like Ethiopia it is better to go back there land Somalia. it is my advice for NPLF.

Wud wegenoch, Based on resources and greed should we all seek to form our own central government? To stand united against dictatorship, to fight for freedom, equality, sovereignty is one thing. But, to spill blood just for power and disintegration is a recipe for eradicating our youth, who should be sent to school to pioneer in all disciplines of development. "What do Mekele and Gondar have to do in Ogaden? Leave us alone!" is too narrow and simplistic, unethiopian. We all need each other. Every part of Ethiopia and Ethiopians have a lot to offer. We all should have equal access and say in the system of government. That is what is important. Stop civil war. Stop Greed. Stop being puppets of hidden agendas or foreign capital. The citizens and the poor farmer and unemployed should not be evicted from their fertile land and forced to die of hunger or stupid war! Come to your senses. Thousands of years of civil war for some form of dominance is not going to feed the people. For how many more years do we have to beg for charity? Stop the ethnic mentality and start to see outside of your closed box: your village, language, religion or political grouping.

They are now more than 1500 soldiers in their army. Remember when woyane started their 13 memeber that trained by jebha. The difference is that they fight 100% devoted their life for what they believe and Ethiopian army for money. Whether you like it or not, their number will grow from time to time. Specially if those who live in Somalia and Kenya join them, and if they start from Ogaden? They creat great Somalia.

BTW, I'm not big fan of ONLF, but what Nazret.com is upto? is it making news or are reporting news. There is a big differen here. If they want to make news, they should take their lazzy ass (no offence intetended) out of confort in North America and head to the region and should give balanced first account what is going in the hell-hole that carve we all crave for it. I, for one thing, am ready be to assist and guide if them if they need as an expert of the the region, culture and and languaged,etc.

Other wise, they should to stick repoting news and recycle of whaterevr info the get got from Walta, Reuters, AP, UIP. AFP, Xien, Tass,Deuche Welle,etc.

The fact that the government doesn't allow reporters in the region means that its has something to hide, the debilitating defeat it suffered in Ogadenia. I am not Ogadeni, but I do sympathize with them and share the pain of the Ogadeni people. As an oromo we also undergo the same pain inflected by the invading Woyane army. We know those days are numbered and our wounds will heal. Please let the soon to be widows of the TPLF commanders learn from those grieving the loss. We don't want this for our kids to grow up with but that is what we are forced into.

Too many irrational and emotionally driven posts in here!

I see so many writers using Somali names and advocating for Meles and Company. We know you are not Somali.

The region ONLF is fighting for is called Western Somalia. It belongs to Somalia and will go back to its rightful owners due time.

Greater Somalia is the only way to end the perpetual crises in the Horn. The artificial state boundaries in the region due to biased colonial designs in not real and cause of mayhem, not only between the people of the Horn, but through out Africa.

No more denials. We need to face the facts. Until sovereignty fills the place of occupation, surely, there will be no peace and stability.

ONLF have a legitimate right to fight for the sovereignty of Western Somalia.

TPLF is sooner or later going to be diminished.. ONLF is today the strongest and most intimidating to TPLF.. What is shocking is the lack of support from the amharah people, who today are being subjugated by the minority TPLF tigreys.. there is an apartheid going on in Ethiopia.. And the Ethiopians are to stupid and ignorant to realize..

ONLF represents everybody in Ethiopia.. Although we want our independence we also want the independence of all Ethiopians.. TPLF must be destroyed.. And Amharahs must get out of this backward way of thinking and get out from the Mengistu era..

Where are the educated Ethiopian brothers and sisters? I want hear their voices here. Ogaden people don’t want you in their homeland; they know “the cost of liberty is less than the price of repression,” as our African-America brother Dubois once said. Ogadens are today repressed by your occupation forces, you all seem to be happy what is going on in Ogaden, a land which your government made one huge open prison, but the good thing is that our brothers and sisters in Ogaden understand the punishment inflected upon them by your dictator, Meles Zenawi, is only part of the price of the liberty they yawn for so much. you should denounce this horrible occupation and let brothers and sisters in Ogaden choice their fate.

Ethiopia is an example of black colonizing black!

although we all love to see Ethiopia become this United country where everybody loves, respects, and honors each other, that will never be tha case, , after centuries of oppression, destruction and murder, do u really think the animosity and the hatred will be erased just that easily, the people have spoken and have decided they don’t want anything to do with Ethiopia… so prevent the bloodshed and give freedom to those who desire for it…

Dear nazret.com editors:
I read the following many times. I don't understand your logic.
If you doubt the news, you should have written to the medias which broadcasted it for clarification.
Why don't you send your own reporter to the region to check the reality on the ground?
Why didn't you chechk with the so called so many oppostions stand not only regarding the news,but also their stand regarding the onlf and other secessionists?
I like your web site, since it gives me a chance to express my views and also to learn more words and develop my English Language vocabulary. But such issues waste my time and leave me in susspicion of everything...
We were told last time that onlf committed a heinous crime on civilians. Such things should be condemned. And foguht.
Now a days in the opposition corner ...there a rumor that a tendency of keeping quiet of any crime committed by any organization if it weakens the meles gov. God forbid. If that is true, it should be foguht and be fought relentlessly.
It looks we didn't learn from the mengistu era.
Did the onlf take responsibility for its crimes in the past? Did it promise to abandon such crimes...and ready for remedial activities...?


"...The report could not be independently confirmed as no journalists are allowed in the area. So why would the BBC, Reuters and AFP act as a conduit for ONLF propaganda by broadcasting unsubstantiated, unverified claims?"

We don't have to give a chance the meles kids to disstract us from the major political,economic and social isses of our country.

If the TPLF has nothing to hide you should suggest to them to open the whole region infact the whole country to the free press. Unless otherwise i have to believe what ONLF says because they are not the ones that sealed the region from the free press. As far as Nazret.com is concerned shame on you because as a free press if you can't comfirm what is going on in Ogaden in your naked eyes you have no right to suggest to the contrary ok.

Sayid [Visitor], mohamed omar osman [Visitor] and the likes,

Why are you throw in other ethnic group with Woyane? Hello, wake-up! 100% Amharas or 100% Oromos haven’t been in power for the last 100 years. Just because you have been brainwashed to hate since childhood, it doesn’t mean you can not over come that hate. It is good to educate yourselves and do some research before you start insulting other ethnic Ethiopians. Your people are not the only ones who are going through harsh times at the present time--as you are aware, Ethiopians (with the exception of Woyanes) are being led by a man who doesn’t care if Ethiopians and Ethiopia live or die. You should join other freedom fighters like EPPF to free the whole Ethiopia from the current mess we are in.

I believe this is in your Quran too:

“Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters you do unto Me.”

If need be exposing facts are warranted. Sitting in the basement and manufacturing viral video & fake news about Ogaden does not help your cause. I know the places mentioned ,but to the surprise of people who read this report ,these places some regional names have no military values at all none of them have even local police stations. As far as I know it, some places mentioned have their own clan blood relationship loyalty in firm base than Ogden’s nationalism. Sir, through the power of your imaginations,you can visualize your funeral,write your eulogy but not fake news,the world is so open place in this age nothing to lie.

nazret.com and the like-minded

When the Woyanes were claiming all types of successes, you did not look for proof, you were like congratulating and dancing. Why do you need the proof know? Stop the double-standard.

Ahmed

You said; "The future of the Horn is a united Ethiopia and a united Somalia".

I would rather say the future of the Horn lies in justice for all of its citizens regardless of which national boundaries they are within. It is always true; no justice, no peace.

You said; "No Djoubiti, No Eritrea. These are ethiopian territories".

DJabouti has been an internationally recognized sovereign state for the past 22 years. Before that, it was the territory of the Afars and Isas, and before that, it was called the French Somaliland.
The French did not occupy the land from Ethiopia or Abyssinia like the Italians did. They signed agreements with tribal chiefs.
Djabouti has never been an Abyssinian territory. Therefore, do not base you knowledge on hearsay.

Eritreans on the other hand showed goodwill by accepting confederation with Ethiopia. However, you abused the confederation, and forced them to wrestle with you. Yes,they did, and threw you down on the ground until you have no choice but to give their rights back.

Finally, do not worry about the berries on the tree, make sure to keep the ones you have in your basket; find some wisdom to keep the rest of Ethiopia together. I do not see such wisdom yet.


Justice for all.

Dear nazreth,

I think you are a fair and a democratic media. Evidence? you do not censure every idea and post it on your website.

For those who criticise you of being biased, TPLF,olf,ONLF,etc, my response is they do not know what they are talking about.

the root cause of the region is TPLF and its tribal ethnocentric leaders whose soul is being eaten by the acid of hetred and revenge against the gentle people of ethiopia, including the ogaden.

I have respect for people who raise guns to defend their rights and freedom. those who oppose this are quasi political analysts who run their own political laboratories. they have no idea whatsoever of the real political game.

they think that free discussion will solve the problem, how foolish and stupide they are!

Zendo; The Ethno-fascist Rat

You Cannot have ways SOB. As I said before, you keep vomiting all over the place and issues without paying slightest attention to where and whom you shit on; religion, regions, ethnicity you name it. toon. You cannot be the judge and jury, midget tribalist and nationalist, cognizant and ignorant, victims and perpetrator and pagan and prophet at the same time.

the point is how come you tell us day night Oromia is so and so while Tigrian, Somalis, Amaharas is this shit and that shit. You even dare open your filthy mouth and dare say who belongs what and where in in Ethiopia. What do you think smart ass? A new Oromo pente prophet on the block? Whor are you fooling? Heaven forbid! Glad we have lot of sober people like Yayew Hulu, Shawerga, C'moin and others in the forum who can forest from tree. But what worries me now most is what the future holds for many poor Etiopians when psycopaths like go bezirk with machetes in the streets. At least many Somali know how to fend the selves unlike many others.

I tell you little Buchila, Your haphazrd scribbling looks modern, but you barbarian and slave at heart and you don't deserve sarce attent, let alone civilized discussion. You are disgrace the ciiled and humanity.You have serious inferiority complex without cure and have o principles thou you pretend to be otherwise. I wish, I had know your mother and your wrenched upbringing so I could see you psychological trauma. I'm not religious, But I heard that people like you have no no cure unless tied upside in the msoque cleansed and lynched their filty rear ends. LOOL;D!

One more thing, regional names be changed and they are not engraved on stone and so politics and behavior of the people. i.e., whatis now called Somali Rgion can be renamed again as Haraghe , Bale, etc. and just like what is caledd Oromia could be rebranded as Arussi, Wollega and Galla land(no insult intended for true and culture fokls here.) I born and grew up in the old Hararghe like millions of different ethncs including Somalis and have no qualms about regionals names as long as politics are progressive and inclusive and as long as consult with the local inhabitants about it.

My Advice to dogs like you and affiliates of OLF, ONLF and TPLF warmongers is that try make peace and more friends among brotherly people instead of sowing seeds of hatred and violence culture. Oromos and Somalis communities have ever been tardiotional. There wasn't reason to be be one before ONLF and OLF thugs came on the scene.

Deep down, you have deep-seated hartrd for this particular ethnic, who probably, ave shelter you as refugee or as an idiot living in the next village who recented their better status over you own hosuehold.

If your little Borena tribe has beef with Garre tribe and other indigenous Somali in Bale and Sidamo over water holes and barren grazing plot, don't beat war drums among peaceful communities and speak about history you know nothing about. Other wise someone is going to beat heck out of your ass in the streets sooner or later.

Armed forces of the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) launched a broad multiple front military operation against military positions of the Ethiopian occupation army liberating seven towns in Ogaden on Tuesday,10 November, 2009. The operation involved thousands of O.N.L.F troops and resulted in two days of heavy fighting. A significant number of Ethiopian troops have been killed and their military hardware captured or destroyed during this operation.

ONLF forces entered the towns of Obolka located near Harar, Hamaro located to the East of Fik, Higlaaley near Degah Bur, Yucub located 40km from Wardheer, Galadiid located 35km from Kabri Dahar, Boodhaano near the city of Godey, Gunogabo located near Degah Bur,

Ethiopian occupation forces had deployed troops and positioned large amounts of military hardware in all of these towns due to their strategic military value. ONLF forces were warmly welcomed by the population in these areas and are administering medical care to those civilians killed by retreating Ethiopian occupation forces.

The ONLF will provide details of enemy casualties and further information on this large scale military operation as soon possible.

ONLF & OLF deserves the support of all Ethiopians including the Tigray ppls.On the other hand the woyane regime force them(ONLF&OLF) to take the gun and fights against the woyane occupation and cruel crimes.

These military wings of Ethiopian oppositions forces,onlf & olf are the only hopes to rid of woyane from the power and bring the true democracy in Ethiopia.

Does anyone has any problem with peaple in ethiopia, whoever they are Ogadeni, Amhara, Tigrai or Oromo, to be free? Does anyone not want the freedom that over 90% of the countries in the world enjoy? Why should any Ethiopian support a regime that is more like the Old Romania( before 1989) or the current North Koria. I would undersand if anyone from Tigrai wants that regime to exist just because of the ignorance of tribalizm but I am so saddened by my Amhara friends whose peaple are arrested killed and tortured everyday by this regime but somehow have something to say about ONLF. Is it because they want to take the place of EPRDF and continue to oppress the peaple in the name of ethiopian Unity. Please know unity will only come thru democratic means and choice not by force.

Communication break down it is called!

It is like Woyane getting up to fight to separeate and many if not all did oppose thier purpose, but at the end of the day they change the idia of separating when they saw they did not have the Milk, the coffee, Gold , the Teff and so on being land locked they will die in hanger!

Yes, now some may say it is good thing that Mengistu is gone and may thank to some extent that Woyane won, but tomorrow Woyane will be in place of Mengistu and chose worse mess since they have divided Ethiopians!

Meles should stop the divid and rule game to stop the distruction of Ethiopia!

Look at Somalia with no building from civil war Rwanda million people dead and so on!

Meles has one chance to correct all the mess he created that is the term he has infront of him!

He is the only one to fix this issue of dividing Ethiopian Ethnics and bring people in to dicuss to resolve differences little by little! To respect all instead of to throw words such us Amhara is the Nefegna, Oromo is the enemy of Amhara, and so on!

Ali Robel,

I don't need a lecture from a taliban crook like you. If it is only the Ogaden these Somalis wanted what the hell are they doing in the South. To colonise us? Moron, shritams and religious zelouts like you whose only outlook is a religious solidarity will always ally with his religious kins. Go tell that religious propoganda to your taliban friends of ONLF. Ogaden is in Ethiopia not in the evil empire of Saudi Arabia where people got imprisoned for having a bible. The funny part of your trash post was that you taliban wants to teach me a history lesson hehehe ye wusha lij teaching me a history lesson? hohoho I never knew you talibans had sense of humor. Your religion doesn't allow it, does it? In a while I am going to the Somali Kilil and distribute millions of Bibels to the eagerly waiting Somalis and we will see if you illiterate shiritam can stop me. Islamo fascism have no place in Ethiopia nor Islamo fascists like you.

Ali roble(Respectfuly)

To experience the world to me is to test it perceive it, is to capture it, and poses it. Connecting dots in interstate regional & global issues of Somalia & Ethiopia does not amount to spying. There is no danger in it.It is my pure academic exercise. I am not TPLF But I know the difference between TPLF, EPDRF & people of Tigrai. Yes, I had participated in the Chat afternoon sessions long ago after my accountability age. I don’t live in Ethiopia I live in the west(northern hemisphere).Concerning Amharo you can call me Gaalo,I open my mouth only when some Chicken hawk individuals try to trash Ethiopian History & threatened its integrity Why? My conscious does not allow me to be perfidious to my ancestral code. Thanks.

Alah Ma'ak.--Good health.

History of Ogaden

During the Scramble for Africa, Somali inhabited lands were carved out between the colonial powers of the day. Ethiopia took the Ogaden, Italy took Southern Somalia, Britain took Northern Somalia, while France took Djibouti.[13] In 1960 Britain gave independence to its colony which joined with southern Somalia to form the new state of Somalia. By the beginning of the war, the Somali National Army (SNA) was only 35,000-men strong[7] and was vastly outnumbered by the Ethiopian forces. However, throughout the 1970s, Somalia was the recipient of large amounts of Soviet military aid. The SNA had three times the tank force of Ethiopia, and had a larger air force.

=>I think that people want peace so much that one of these days Melez government had better get out of their way and let them have it. Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous.. viva ogadenia:idea:

There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.

What's wrong with ONLF and OLF either when it comes to secession? Woyane/TPLF let Eritrea to go and crafted a constitution which gives the right to secession. I am not supporting the idea of a secession; it's dangerous and extremely harmful to the socio-economic, politicaland stability and development of any community.

However, it's worth-noting to look at why on the earth you have a constitution that served some and leave others? I believe that is the issue with ONLF and OLF.

TPLF knew it they made a grave mistake but it is too late so what they are doing is use force to stay in power. But what they forget is repression breeds resistance, and their demise will no be longer but sooner.

A collective spirit is what is required to get rid off this parasites. As long as some individuals of other tribal members serve their bellies and the interest of Melese and his elites it won't be easy bring change.

Brooks,

Hey Brooks, you're sounding that you're more Ethiopian than the Somali Ogadenis.But,let me tell you something,that era of classifying Ethiopians and favoring a specific group of Ethiopians was gone.No more of certain ethnic groups that can act more Ethiopyawent than others.In this modern days,in Ethiopia its not serving for those still wished the livings of the past parasitic and beneficiary systems and as Mengestu said in Ahmeric words:MARET La ashu nuwi.The farmland is for the farmer and not for the parasite Hodams and elite of ethnic landlords.Oah thanks god ! that brave Mengestu,if fact,he was mean it when he was said those courage's bravery words and crushed the crook Hodams.

He crashed and illuminated the overall feudal systems from Ethiopia.In which kept the country a thousand years of developmental delays as well her peoples kept in darkness and backwardness believe mentality.However,Mengestu made the history of end of that ugly history.Of course,that unforgettable of achievements history of legacy was belonged to for the military men,led by the Lieutenant colonel Mengestu Hayalemariam and nobody can be denied the history of his both sides good and bad history of his era.

Same things,in this new millennium Melse Zenews brought in Ethiopia,First times in the history,the word of democracy and federalism systems too.He made a classic contributions of liberty for all Ethiopians.Whether that democracy,perfectly implemented or not the era of Meles Zenwi leaderships belonged the credit bringing Ethiopia in democracy and federals and this credit legacy of Melse, it will be remaining in the parts of new Ethiopia's history.Thanks for Melse Zenew too,for that good contribution legacy too.

Therefore,we should all keep in mind that we should all belong this country equally and remember,if you belong kilil one of Ethiopia,the I belong the kilil two of Ethiopia and thus we should be loving Ethiopia equally so,my friend when you speak you MUST be talking on the limits of your kilil levels.
I don't want repeatedly to remind people about the equality of Ethiopiawent and the citizenship. maaan,Ethiopia is consisted 1+1=2 of ethnics if you don't understand that then go head and loose one by one = zero.

Ethiopia is very wide and bigger to fit in your tiny orthodox churches.
If your parents raised you that Ethiopia is christian country,they lied to you and they were wrong a 100% man!.

Yes,Ethiopia was ruled by christian men/women referring of those few Queens,the Queen shaeba and the Queen-Zawdutu,the daughter of later Minlik or King minlilnk II.Except that the durations of Imam Ahmed Gurey years,which the Imam was ruled Ethiopia almost quarter of century,excepted that a few places of Gonder eras.But the rest of Ethiopia history,the rulers were a Christians but that it doesn't mean it the whole country is christian.

Also,yes that we are Ethiopians and No that,we aren't Christians.
By the ways you moron,the issues wasn't about a religion differences with the Ethiopians thus,don't be hide under the shadows of religion by distracting the issue into religion matters.
Be man and debate straight like man! why you coward pinhead woyane and a moron slashed face little woyane,trying to scapegoat and twisting the subject into religion issue? You think that it will help your debating against Ali? Be like man and Face the your contender man! Stop the cheap talks or that hiding behind religions! honestly,it doesn't helps you.
What poor and a skins woyane!All retarded woyane now,pretending politicians and start taking like parrots.

By the way who you think would listening you or that who you think would cares of your tiny orthodox churches,especially in this modern times? what moron little woyane lol!

Be man and debate with your contenders,otherwise be a shushed man and be out of the games,what a stupid!

Wadani(Respectfuly)

We (humans) see everything autobiographically; we tend to respond in one of the four ways. Evaluate-we either agree/disagree. Probe-we ask questions from our own frames of reference’s. Advise-we consol based on our own experiences. Interpret-we try to figure people out to explain their motives, their behavior based on our own motive. I am not surprised to see my “perfidy of my ancestral code “comment is a victim of these autobiographies.Wadani! When our loved once die, we close the open eyes of the corpse before we buried it that is how we show our dignity & modesty to the dead because we do not want our loved once to gaze at as after their death. However, when any Government dies only History pays its dignity & modesty not human subjects, people move on in Time & Space. Being the most senior veteran on this forum, I do not understand why you have never understood me through my accumulative comments on different topics on similarities of my view on Federalism & minority issues. Wadani !!! My record does not show I am pseudo Amhara zealot. Thanks.
