the unity of all ethiopians is going to a nightmare for foreign mecernaries like melese , berekete , sebehat and their ashikeres. stand firmly and continue the strugle for freedom and democracy. The east Africa’s terrorist group is not strong enough to resist the ethiopia’s people struggle, but TPLF uses our division on the ethnice lines.
My Ethiopian brothers and sisters, you are on the right track of starting an effective struggle against fascism in Ethiopia, specially the apartheid Woyanne regime. First and foremost the objective should be uniting all Ethiopians while making sure no ethnic groups dominates others.
I can see the level of conciousness rising in your resolution #3, Woyanne will send infiltrators because those are the most potent weapons they have, they tried it in Eritrea after they failed in their three consecutive military invastions, they bribed a few “intellectualls” who went by the name of G-13 through G-15, they promised them power and money, some of them had economic interests in Ethiopia proper. The Eritrean people were united and didn’t follow those traitors, on the contrary thier comrades inside Eritrea were put in prison for endangering Eritrea’s sovereignity and the Gs were ostercised by the Eritrean diaspora and are now living as outcasts, living on handouts by their masters, they soiled their own history, living with no legacy and will die so unless they repent and come back to their people again.
It is high time that the Ethiopian people unite as one and point their sharpened weapons towards the real enemy in Ethiopia and our region, that is Woyanne, welcome those Tigrayans who are genuine and want to be part of the stuggle for democracy and justice for Woyanne doesn’t even represent the interests of Tigrawot. That is the only way to succeed within yourselves and make sure to make friends with your neigbors who in the long run will live by your side. The one mistake you need to avoid is your relationship with western governments, they will only want their interests served not Ethiopia’s, any relationship should be based on not interfering with your internal affairs and respecting your rights to decide your fate.
Let’s all march, for unity and prosperous future. That all people, in the horn of Africa can leave in peace and harmony. Let us bring these criminal Weyane juntas to justice and face the judge for a crime committed against humanity.
