The Ethiopian National Transitional Council (ENTC) has presented a proposal to Ethiopian opposition groups to come together and form a transitional government. ENTC is also calling for public discussion on the process of transitioning Ethiopia to a multiparty democracy. The fact that Ethiopia has a new prime minister is a positive development, but no one should have an illusion that the ruling party, EPRDF, will open up the political space in the country, unless it is forced to do so. The creation of a transitional government can play a major role in forcing EPRDF to come to the negotiation table. Click here to read ENTC’s statement that was issued on Sunday.
One thought on “ENTC calls for public discussion on transitional government”
Dear All,
It is difficult to understand this guys with the opinion of transitional government. The word transitional for me it self is bitter pill to swalow. Derg started with the word transitional or provisional government and ended up killing the brainy Ethiopians, and our country and people destined to a fate we all know very well. So the term transitional government for me is a prposal by power mongers to hold a ticket for their hidden agenda be it economic or Egoistic. If we are thinking for the decent people of Ethiopia and Ethiopia the nation we presumably love all the solution is not transitional government. The solution is :
_ To stop sowing hate among Ethiopians and to have well defined objective.
_ To believe in democracy and to accept any Ethiopian entitlement to have his own opinion.
_ To believe in peaceful struggle since democracy is about peaceful movement.
_ To be sincere in what we are doing.
_ Believe in reconcilation and forgiveness.
_ To love Ethiopia and not the power that gives you access to its resources.
_ To be genuine in your idea.
_ To love Ethiopia and Ethiopians more than you love yourself.
_ To coordinate our struggle in oder to exert pressure on the Ethiopian government to accept multi party system where by the people of Ethiopia have the right to choose his leaders at different level of power structure.
