Ato Seye Abraha, former defense minister of {www:Ethiopia} under the regime of Tigrean People Liberation Front (Woyanne), has been active since he has been released from jail few years ago. He came out in public on VOA Amharic after he was released and told Ethiopians that he was jailed for personal vendetta and was not involved in any corruption he was accused for which he spent more than six years in jail. I had congratulated him then for being out of jail and be with his loved ones. What I am going to comment here is based on his recent speeches and writings as “free” man that makes me believe that he is the next man to replace Meles Zenawi to save TPLF.
On his recent speeches and writings it seems that he is ready to join the so called “election” in 2010. On his recent appearance on Andenet/UDJ party meeting as guest he was received with wide applause and seems that he has political future. However, he has not so far formed or join any party except giving speeches. He recently wrote more than thirty pages in Amharic on the political situation of our country and his recommendations.
No doubt, Ato Seye Abraha is directly speaking to members of TPLF/EPRDF who are and will continue to dominate any “election” in the future. Yesterday, on VOA Amharic he said emphatically that TPLF/EPRDF made a mistake on jailing Birtukan Medeksa and opening up the “wound”, defeat of TPLF, of election 2005. He demanded for her immediate release to avoid popular anger and revolt to continue the path to “peaceful” struggle. Stay tuned he will be the VOA Amharic guest today.
I am sure many of his former buddies who are now controlling the parliament are also seriously thinking to save TPLF, to keep their wealth and power. Why jailing the popular leader and spoil the coming fake election of 2010 which surely Ato Seye Abraha, Gebru Asrat ready to join according to the recent speeches Seye gave.
Ato Seye might join the parliament running as individual to work with his buddies in parliament who are known for voting anti-people legislation to keep TPLF in power for years to come. TPLF will have one of its “leader” in the parliament in the name of opposition to charter its future after Meles’ retirement due to foreign countries pressure and save TPLF as reformed party with a new leader, Seye Abraha.
Nothing is impossible on politics driven by ethnic loyalty. Ato seye’s only problem has been Meles Zenawi and the rest as he told us on his speeches and writings is a foundation for our country’s future. For Ato Seye Abraha the Constitution of TPLF is a must and one thing he doesn’t want to admit is that the TPLF constitution was a document imposed on our people not a product of any democratic deliberation.
We have to start from scratch Ato Seye if we are serious to save our country. However, if the intention is to save our own ethnic domination by staging another fake election, we might succeed in cheating few people and collaborate with known opportunist political parties. But the majority of the people will not be part of such enterprise and repeat May 2005 again. Our people demand is total freedom that was snatched by killing squads of TPLF four years ago. The Freedom Train that was derailed in 2005 is fixing its tracks and ready to rumble to make a promising future for our people and no force can derail it this time.

Sye and his tplf tribalist bandits should face justice for crimes committed against our country and people not lecture us about democracy and the rule of law which he doesn’t beleive in. All tplf members are criminal gangs and they must be punished as such.

We have not to full ourself again,change of the person does not mean ther will be change in policy and idiology.
Seye is one progenitors and fervent promotors of abay Tigray,”GREAT TIGRY”.The only real change will come through armed strugle like we are witnessing in Somalia,this is proof testment,the only way we can hope for our country to hold the tourch of liberty and freedom through brave men and women “EPPF,TPDM”.
seye and melese seyum mesfin the same part of selecha kelekelo kelkelo selecha .if you are not dam don’t expecy seye will bring any change for ethiopia .seye have to face justice……
I have no love for Seyie. He was the one who called the Derg Army to surrender with a false promise that they would be reinstated. Once he amassed them in Tolay, he belittled them at all. When he was requested on the fate of highly trained great officers of the country, he said “their education and expertise is trash”. He was also the one who openly stated how EPRDF could invent a war, not only to take part in it.
On the other hand, I appreciate his nationalism, and his growing hate towards Isayas. Had it been for his ambition, Shabiya could have long been replaced by a sort of toy government. I have also noted, since recently, that Shabia is also worried by the growing popularity of Seye among Ethiopians, but I still doubt his genuineness.
Elias, if your suspicion holds water, it would be a blessing in disguise. At least we could regain control of Assab under his leadership.
Cheers,
Satenaw
I think seye have a right as a citezen to participate and act political. you people why don,t we learn from the society we living in. pleace try to be visionary and look forward. let me tell you some thing our people at home living daily by woyane atrocities and opression but they are strong enough thyan than we who live abroad and even couldn’t dare to stand with them.
The game plan has been clear for many Ethiopians about Him and his other buddy from the new party in Mekele (Arnet..whatever).
It should be noted that Ethiomedia.com is their playground.
We can not be fooled again. However many obstacles are placed in front of us. We will crush them.
We will go forward with respect of civil and human rights no matter our difference in religion or political affiliation. We can see the hyenas in sheep clothes.
No more!
What he said as quoated in this paper are all correct. So what is the problem? The writer has not provided any evidence to the contrary. Why are we trying to make enemy when some one is not? Since his release he has appologized for mistakes done whene he was in power and after that supported the opposition (at least verbally). He never said the contituion of TPLF is a must. In our history we have problem of clearly identifying who is for us and who is aginst us. That lead to a lot of unncessary conflicts an lose of life. So don’ try to make an ‘enemy’ form some who isn’t until you prove it unmistakeably.
Funy, seye was in USA none of you guys able to put him in jail please stop talking trash.
TPLF and its old and new members Shouldn’t be given the chance to lead Ethiopia any more.The leaders of the Tribalist organization have divided our beloved homeland with ancient history and a proud people by forming parties and administrative regions on the basis of ethnic politics.
The leaders of the same organization have tried their level best to encite the Oromos and other nations against the Amharas.Despite their crazy encitment however,the forseighted people of our country didn’t commit genocide.
Again it’s the same tribalist organization which made Great Ethiopia a landlocked country.In its leadership in the past 18 years what are the achievements gained by the general public? Where does Ethiopia rank now in terms of all-round development? Isn’t she still the poorest country in the world?
Gauged from this analysis and from other assassements it’s advisable that Seye should present himself as a single candidate representing the people where he lives,not his home province.This will enable him to be a true democrat rather than a narrow-nationalist as he was used to be.
Nitty-gritty,the 21st century of Ethiopia sould be led by democratic parties,not by parochial,separatist and regional parties.Enough is enough!!!
Stop this racist propaganda. Accusing TPLF as a tribalist is a sign that you detest every Tigrean no matter what his/her intentions are. You like it or not, Tigre’s are our brothers and they have every right to create any organization as the Amharas, Oromos, Somalis and other 80 or so tribes. So please save us from this hate infested propaganda unless you want us fractured and weekened forever.
From the frying pan to the fire !!
A good commentary from T.A.
Tplf under Meles is chasing out business people throught the country and confiscating their properties of non-Woyanes.
The ultimate goal is to eliminate every business run by non-Woyanes, by doing so to monopolise every inch of business from Gulit(chircharo) to industrial business.
The objective is to perpetuate on power for infinite years with strong support on economy.
They have achieved to the extent that the military, the political machinery(court, police & killer kommando-Agazi)is under their control. The property under the disguise of “Alamudi” is also the property of top-level-Woyane-gangs with foreign joint venture.
BUT all these rubbish dilly-dally will cease in the near fture. It is never reparable. It does not last even six months. Time and tide waits for none.

Dear Elias,
I was surprised by your slow response of to the comeback of “TPLF kids” in the name of reconcilation. But never too late!
By the way their comeback campaign started back in 2006. Unkowingly, due to the Diaspora power struggle and intrigue you were part of it. However it is intensifed after the release of Siyie Abraha and also due to the confidence of Ethiomedia in selling the TPLF kids as the main actors. This was a carefully drafted plan by the TPLF right after it took power in 1991.
Back to my point:
How stupid we are in allowing Siyie, Gebru and Gidado who served Zenawi & the TPLF loyally for almost a decade and half to be the leaders of the so called “new movement”. I was shocked when I saw the standing ovation they received in the UDJ’s townhall meeting back in Dec. – 2008. Siyie and Gebru are the archietect of ethnic federalism and the land locking of Ethiopia. As of now they are the wealthies in Africa – Siyie is worth 280 million and Gebru is 75 million US dollars. Just think of if – where did they get this money from? And how on earth this people look our country ahead of their collegues and their own personal interest? Why give this criminals a second chance after what they did to that poor
How could we be so MORONS? Look the front page of ethiomedia today – it is like walta in 1993! Ethiomedia is so bold and confident on his status – with out a doubt he is working extermly hard in image building of the TPLF insiders. And he is so succeesful – last summer in Seattle a youth band dressed on a T-shirt with Siyies photo on it – screamed “Siyie is the saviour of Assab & Ethiopia”.
This tragedy (which definately took the struggle by 10 years back) can be blamed with on what I call the “rotten Diaspora”. And of course the greedy elites of the UDJ.
The TPLF has already assembled the alternative to Zenawi – right on our face. When the TPLF 1 era is finished the TPLF 2 era will begin. That is why I am deeply suspicious of the arrest of Birtukan.

We dont need Tedla Asfaw’s poor and dead eprp(eyasu) propagands here…
how come you became an entartaiment for eprp(eyasu) cultish and full of lies article that was written by Tedela Asefa.
Tedala is an eprp falsified machine writer that always target Birtukan, dr. birhanu and other strong oppostions with a false accusation, while he throws a little word against weyane.
Tedla always targets these individulas as his teamates EPRP(eyasu) that always have a bad wish for the best oppostions.
You can clearly see how tedla uses his words to attack Seye using a few confused words that was interpreted by his own eprp dictionary, a dictionary that never translate words correctly that comes from strong oppostions.
Seye’s strategey is determined by the ethiopians that are more concerned to avoid the TPLF regime. At this point seye seems and sounds that he is more concerned to the tigrians and he seems he doesnot want to repeat the mistakes that he and his former party TPLF did and has doing. In any case we’ll see what he is planning to do. There is no much energy to be lost now for seye while we all should focus how to get rid of the current criminal tplf group that is killing our people and damaging our country.
I can not beleive most eprp memebers are usually concerned to unecessary issues rather than attacking weyane. eprp has spent more time arguing if the lenin policy work for ethiopia or not, mao policy work for ethiopia or not….now they are spending more time on irrelevant world politics rather than saving thier people now. YALIBELACHEWN YAKALU…
To most ethiopians there is no diffrence b/n the current EPRP(eyasu) and weyane , of course they have several similiarities since both eprp and weyane keep targetting and attacking strong oppostions like UDJ and Ginbot 7, while especially eprp had been a best asset to destroy kinijit by hijacking the moron hailu shawel who missed his exit and trapped in EPRP cultish group.
Look hailu shawel he still singing the same song and now he still falsefully accusing the other former kinijit strong leaders with his teamates EPRP cultish and insultish group while the ethiopians now require a lot to save themselves from the weyane criminal group.
ECADF…please dont take any articles from the cultish and rabbish websites of ethiolion and debetaraw that continously posts false and funny articles written either by Tedla Asfaw or Getachew reda or other who does not want to add thier name since they know that they can not defend the back fire for the falsfied article they keep posting by hiding themselves under the skirts of eyasu and now hailu shawel of course a moron and still trying to divert the truth from ethiopians.
Tedla Asfaw, is very popupular in writting diffrent articles against the wish of udj and ginbot 7 to divert the truth to the public. I stongly agree Tedla and others have the right to oppose udj or ginbot 7, but they dont have the right to falsly accusing individulas just because they dont like them.
Tedla also uses diffrent nick names to throw his bad words against a few individuals.
If Tedla wants to get the attention of us, he first have to stop attacking other geniune oppostions, and stick to his party that he supports.
lets say no more to hailu shawel and eprp poor propaganda …..
as we say no more killing by the weyane criminal group in ethiopia…
no more weyane
Gulicha Bilewawet Wet Ayatafitim..

Siye the Airlines Board chairman , The Defence Minister , Main Conspritor in any crime and so on .He needs to be put in interoggation to find out how he operated and pushed to set the systematic opression and recruitment of the silent mercinaries who bathed with blood of the innocent true Ethiopians .
Ato Tedela,
You should give credit to Siye for speaking out against the imprisonment of Judje Birtukan Medixa. Meles loves Sudan and Somalia more than Ethiopia. At least Siye is a changed nationalist person.
It might be interesting to re-read article that was publish on Seye by Ebissa Jan of 2008

Ask Now, Praise Later – the Motive of Seye Abraha
By Ebissa Ragassa
Modern Ethiopian politics is an illusion created to confuse and fool the mass through many possible ways of event control. This is a new method that the public has not been aware of yet; it is through controlling events (from the local to the national levels) that the TPLF employees manipulate the Ethiopian peoples. A false event is implanted by the government to create a chaotic state; when the public gets confused and becomes desperate for help, it runs back to the government and accepts any deals the government slaps on the table. In the process, freedom, progress and critical thinking are sacrificed, and the citizens become blind followers.
Over the last seventeen years, the Ethiopian peoples have become immune to TPLF’s usual propaganda and imprisonments, and the peoples no longer buy TPLF’s ethnic divide-and-rule tactics. The TPLF regime has used up almost all of the cards of manipulation to stay in power deceitfully; it must think of something new and fresh that the public is not aware of yet. This new and fresh method is manipulation through controlled events or manufactured events to divert the public’s attention from the regime’s corrupt nature.
Now have you seen any change since TPLF took power? We hear news, elections, economic boom, and federalism, yet nothing tangible has happened. That’s because Meles has put the peoples of Ethiopia on a treadmill, which has given them a false impression of running forward while going nowhere.
Controlling an event is a new technique that we will witness more often in the coming years in world politics. In the past human beings did not control events, only their responses to the events, so, in a way, events were not man-made; they were considered natural phenomena. Now imagine the situation in Ethiopia; especially, the events of the last seventeen years were a series of man-made controlled events. It is a trick; THE WHOLE THING IS A TRICK. Like a person running on a treadmill, they sweat and waste their energy thinking they are getting somewhere, but yet they have not moved a foot. Now have you seen any change since TPLF took power? We hear news, elections, economic boom, and federalism, yet nothing tangible has happened. That’s because Meles has put the peoples of Ethiopia on a treadmill, which has given them a false impression of running forward while going nowhere. It is these controlled events that we must predict. What is TPLF’s next move? What card can
Meles play now? What card has he not played? And, our most important focus should be on what cards he has not played yet.
Controlled events shape the public opinion or manipulate the mood of the peoples. It is through controlled events that the tempo of the peoples are raised or lowered as desired by the regime for its own end. When Meles wishes, he initiates a war with Eritrea for no apparent reason; when the public attention shifts to his favor, he buys himself another two to three years before redesigning his next plan. When that game gets old, he preoccupies the public by increasing the conflict and persecution on Oromo people and other ethnic citizens – now the public faces another controlled drama. He goes ahead and brings an end to this drama by releasing prisoners he has just incarcerated for no reason. By doing so, he is able to shift the attention of the peoples without resolving the underlying problems. By doing so, he is able to give the public false hope that change is on the horizon. By doing so, he is able to buy himself yet another two to three years of power.
A shocking event occurred within the last months; Seye Abraha was released from prison all of sudden. That was indeed a surprising event; our justice system must have been working for a man that was denied a due process. Yet he was released at a critical time when mass uprisings threatened the TPLF regime from all corners. Why now, why not 3 years ago or why not even 2 years from now, why now? While I am glad that Seye is no longer in prison and I am not questioning the deed of Meles, I am questioning the motive for his timely release. What is Meles’ motive? What is he distracting us from? How does he benefit from this? And how can a man of Seye’s caliber be free to leave the country without being a risk to Meles and come to the Diaspora, without posing some security threat to TPLF, to preach the gospel of peace, unity, forgiveness and reconciliations?
My brothers and sisters here in the Diaspora have received this man with open arms, and have given him praises and admirations without any critical analyses, reasonings, or even posing basic questions. Many of our websites and journalists put the cart before the horse, that is “praise now, ask later” methodology, which is totally unreasonable, rather it should have been ASK NOW, PRAISE LATER. That was the problem that got Kinijit supporters in disarray for they prematurely praised without inquiring the leadership’s capacity. Remember a thirsty person in the Sahara Desert will pay any price for a cup of water, and we are rightfully so thirsty for peace and unity that we are willing to sacrifice our time and energy to receive peace and unity even if it means pushing aside our instincts that tell us: Wait a minute! There is something missing here.
I just like to pose the following series of questions to the public.
We desperately need peace and reconciliation, is Seye Abraha the messiah for such an important pure and morally just gospel of peace and reconciliation?
What are we reconciling? Is this a deal too good to be true?
Could Mr. Seye Abraha be groomed to replace Mr. Meles? Could this be the right publicity needed to further keep TPLF in power? Some of us have heard from reliable media outlets that Mr. Meles was claiming he would not be the next Prime Minister in coming election; even if we take him at his word, isn’t Mr. Seye the logical choice for TPLF to replace Mr. Meles?
Does it not make sense for Meles and his followers to make peace with their people and core supporters, and to give Mr. Seye a chance to rule for he had been the major architect of TPLF, for he has a vested interest in the organization, and, most importantly, for he commands greater respect than Meles among the Tigrean People?
Was not the reason Mr. Seye was imprisoned because he challenged Meles’ throne and created a division within the organization that left Meles without full support?
Is Mr. Seye round-two of TPLF’s disguised-in-sweet messages of unity and reconciliation that play with our emotions?
For a high caliber person such as Mr. Seye, what are the conditions of his release?
Knowing Meles’ calculative, cunning political nature, what were the pre-arranged agreements that were reached between him and Seye?
I believe the timing and the message that Mr. Seye has brought to the Diaspora are interesting at a time when Meles is being challenged by Kinijit. Is it not interesting that Mr. Seye has become an advocate of the central ideology of Kinijit? What subtle impact does this create on the public perception to weaken Kinijit further?
What is most interesting is his famous phrase that the Diaspora idolizes the most: “without Oromos, there is no Ethiopia.” While on the surface, this statement is true; the subtle psychological message is, in fact, increasing ethnic tensions that his party is famous for. Let me explain.
“Without Oromos, there is no Ethiopia” is a loaded phrase that has many meanings. I will let the reader decipher most of the hidden meanings of this phrase, but simply what he is saying is that unless we stop the Oromos, Ethiopia is in jeopardy. This message is designed to further sensitize the ethnic tensions between the two major ethnic groups.
The biggest threats to TPLF are the progresses that have been made especially in the last couples of years, the formation of AFD and Kinijit’s message. While Meles is systematically working on dismantling kinijit, what he could not dismantle is the public awareness: the realization of Oromos, Amharas and other ethnic groups to work together and forge a united front. So, Mr. Seye comes out of nowhere, he inserts himself between Oromos and Amharas, and he appears to have the best interest for Ethiopia.
While we are starving and thirsting for the gospel of peace and reconciliation, we should rather wait for the rightful bearer of this message.

One thing will be certain if this crook and criminal tug Siye Abraha will be given any power he will make sure that any individual that is from amhara ethnicity and challenges him will be dead in the spot.He hates all ethnic amhara and claims he will punish them dearly.In many instances in 1991 he bitterly complained that amharas has slaughtered many of his close families and will revenge their blood.This narrow minded racist weyane is very dangerous and shoudn”t be trusted no matter what.
Hogos Araya,
Thank you for defining Tedla to the readers.
Tedla,
Thanks to the internet we know you are. You are nothing but hater. Many Ethiopian are impressed by Seye’s personality and he has a support of 99% of Tigray people. On the side, who supports you. No body. You may know how to write but id soesn’t mean any thing, as you are obssessed with hate and jealous.
Seye,
We are behind you. We love you. Thank you for your sacrifice….
Reformist?The guy still believes in ethnic federal apartheid ideology.He believes in TPLF total domination of Ethiopia. I believe he he is an apologetic of post TPLF era.
SEYE means facist, clanist, triabalist, everything bad for Ethiopia we will make sure non of TPLF members again not only rule Ethiopia but Tigray. Please, get out of our land and Home. Siye is number 1 ugly number 11. AMARA SITERET getawan yetmamenech bug latuan dej tasaderalech. yilal Siye bilo Meri go back to Mekele where you belong leave ADDIS ALL OF YOU WOYANES
Seya is rag thug tigrai leader. He will not make peace with ethiopian or eritrean. he has no crediablity fool.
Seya is TPLF. He has loyality to tigray people than ethiopia. Seya you are weyane carde. You have no crediablity by eritrean or ethiopian. no asab. Asab is eritrean. As you know Iran is using it. Iran military is in asab, given permision by eritrea. When true ethiopian come to power like G7 or bertikun than eritrea might be like ethiopia use its port for fee less than other ports. ethiopia might use it on credit base. seya, serve your weyame carde. ethiopian are not fool to elect you as the presedent of ethiopia.

In my opinion the only people who are seriously frustrated by the revival of Siye and wants him to discredit are Eritreans and Elias Kifle. Actually it should not be a surprise from a site who named the worst dictator, Isaias, Man of the Year 2008. As you all are aware of, recently Elias was trying to discredit the wonderful choice that has been made by UDJ and its Chairwoman, of peaceful struggle. Now, he and his group are against Siye, Ethiomedia, and other reformists who indeed are struggling to deliver some changes within our beloved country. All democratic and exemplary changes that have been exibited within East Europe have been delivered by Senior Communist Party members and leaders led by the Novel lauret Michael Gorbachev. And I am confident that Siye is another reformer who wants to see changes within TPLF and Ethiopia. And there would not be peace and democracy in Ethiopia if we are continue saying these parties have a right to exist and the others are not.
Let God bless Ethiopia and Eritrea!

Seye is guilty of crime. He needs to go back to prison. Criminals can not be nominated to be leaders. Most importantly he does not have a good background and knowledge. He is deeply tribalist and does not know Ethiopia well. We advice him not even to think this dangerous game.
Tintagu
We Ethiopians fear facts and spend our time on speculation and finding bad intentionsin whatever is said and written. This is a reflection of the low level of our political culture and the way we are brought up.
What is written about Seye is another way of attacking an individual who is trying to do some thing useful for Ethiopia. There are things I do not agree with Seye, but I do not think I can accuse him of working for Meles. Seye repeatedly wrote that Ethiopia needs who can unify the people, and he may be trying to be one. This is good, and we should work for it.
I do not understand.
We say TPLF (Tigre) are not for one Ethiopia but for one Tigray but the TPLF supporters say one ethiopia with federalism.
At the same time we say OLF (oromo) is for One Ethiopia but the Oromos who support OLF are very much against Ethiopia and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.
We say ONLF (somali Ethiopians) are supporting One Ethiopia but it is clear there position.
(I just visited the website of the ONLF and OLF and i am shocked. It is filled with Ethiopia colonized us and the Amhara & Tigre are the colonizers)
It is not making any sense.
ETHIOPIA AGERACHIN YANCHI NEGER MECHE NEW YEMEYALKEW!
We need truth
Once a TPLF always a TPLF. And with Seye it is no different, if not worse. I see a few closet TPLFites and narrow ethnicists still trying to confuse the issue. It appears that they would like us to believe that we should ignore and shrug off Seye’s crimes and slide it under the rug. That we should not criticize their darling Seye. How funny is that? In my books, he is as a good a tribalist, if not more, than Meles and all other tribalists that make up TPLF.
For all of you apologists of tribalism and its chief proponents, all I can say is smell the coffee and come to your senses. Ethiopians have had enough of this backward ideology. Learn to live with it, if you want to be taken seriously.
There is a lot going on of politics of deception as a continuation of the previous regime, much in the sustaininig the current regime and or replacing the current regime by conglomerate of loyalist oppositions and their supporters in the diaspora encouraged by foreign governments as a way forward of “no change but durable democracy, posing as moderates rather than hardliners seeking peace, freedom, territorial integrity and sovergneity via genuine peaceful struggle. I believe this approach/political model has another semblance democracy with ethnic dominance, in this case Seye Abraha, who is the other side of the same coin with TPLF. Nor are we going to resolve our national interest with armed struggle under Gonbot 7, possibly working through AFD stationed in Eritrea with the pretext of that regime supports the Unity of Ethiopia, unless that unity includes the reuniting of Eritrea with with Ethiopia, without Ethnic dominance built into it in the form ethnic federalism but rather as state federalism. Even at that we do not have the credible leadership in Ginbot 7 of Dr. Berhanu-Andargachew.
As usual Elias’ website is serving Eritrea than Ethiopia, but what makes this article worth noting is that how nervous the shaebia thugs are to hear or read anything that has the great Ethiopian hero’s name, Seye Abraha. As some of put quite rightly we wouldn’t have been talking about shaebia now if Seye was allowed to finish the fight against shaebia during 1998-2000 war.
It it is also worth noting that shaebia never dreamed of any opposition from any individual from Tigray let alone a tigrean political organization, but now they are facing their nightmare when the former TPLF leaders are acknowledging mistakes on handling Eritrea in the past and promising to correct those mistakes. Here it is important to note why Badme is still under Ethiopian control contrary to the fake decisions by the EEBC.
After the split of the TPLF leadership what we have learned was that the dream for the independent Eritrea with its two ports can not be realized; thanks to the awakening of those leaders such as Seye, Gebru of Arena Tigray and General Abebe T/himanot who is a law lecturer in AAU. They are not only instrumentals in admitting that mistakes been made, but also clearing that the delusions that was installed in the minds of the TPLF fighters about Eritrea. Based on this fact, the Tigray people and most of the TPLF members have come to the conclusion that corrections have to be made in respect to the Eritrea’s statehood. As we see today, Eritrea is hanging in between state and none state due to no known and recognized borders with Ethiopia. Today the hsaebia thugs realized that Eritrea isn’t what they thought it was, and that’s why in every Ethiopian issue either disguising as Ethiopians or as Eritreans they are spewing their divisive propaganda filled with hate towards the proud people of Tigray.
As shaebia’s days are numbered, and the unity of Ethiopians are strengthened through mutual understanding and respect, the shaebia thugs venom will be spewed more and more till the port of Asab and its Afar people reunites to its motherland, Ethiopia. Once that happens (won’t take longer anymore) the shaebia that is a headache to the horn of Africa would turn to be an Internet warriors from the west in times crying in Amharic, and at times in Tigrigna, and that time is coming soon with Ethiopians the likes of Seye coming to power.
Yes we can, God bless Ethiopia
Let us not be fooled Ginbot 7 is accommodating EX-EPLF and UDJP is accommodating Tigrai harena of Seye and TPLF of Meles Zenawi with whom UDJP is in confrontation for exceeding the limits for political space. Now Ginbot 7, which denounced armed struggle, is now rallying behind UDJP, which indicates implicit connection between the two dissidents of Kinijit. Ethiomedia presents UDJP as a replacement of CUD in the article by Shewakena of Ginbot 7. What a deception.
It is all politics of deception that is propagated that is being propagated by these ambivalent media, whether it is leaning towards Ginbot 7 through AFD stationed I Eritrea Ex-EPLF, or towards UDJP of loyalist opposition forming an alliance with existing CUD loyalist and Seye Abraha, the other side of the same coin with TPLF, seeking sustenance and/or rplacing the current regime, but not serving the national interest for peace, freedom, territorial integrity and sovergneity of Ethiopia.These goals want be achieved with the political models conciously or unconciosly adopted by UDJP and its collaborators, diaspora supporters of no change but durable democracy, with no agenda for a peaceful struggle, but protest over the release of its leader.

Belive me ethiopians are not stupid. who is stupid rat. you tigrain rats have no friends. . At the finial hours of your survial american, UN, EU will not save rats from the warth of ethiopia, somilia, and ethipian people. FOOL
Isyas ” one Ethiopia ”
Meles & Seya ” Abay tigray”
For eritrea, we want ” One Ethiopia ” with majority rule.
We eritrean want relationship with amahara and oromo people and rest of ethiopian. shame in agazzzi for booldozzing aman andom place. You will see, we eritrean will destroy tigray. Will flat it out. Aman Andom was loved by all ethiopian & eritrean. He planted ethiopian flag in somilia.
shame on you agazzzi babay killer. stay in USA, you will have no home.
Most of you lack vission, understanding and political games.
Sye Abraha is a nationalist. We all agree about. Meaning he loves Ethiopia. As many says because of his approach towards Eritrea(to protect his old country seacoast right) and meles was afraid of him because of Sye was against some meles’s policies, Meles and his buddies including Arkebe sent him in a harsh prison for 6 years. Now, you think he will save the party Meles is heading? You are wrong. That TPLF is dead. Meles is leading a dead TPLF.
What you have to have in your mind is the true Ethiopian history at least the last 2000 years and mainly before the Gragn war against Christians and the Galla Migration latter on that took 300 years (1550-1850).
Before the Gragn war, the Entire central and southern Ethiopia such as Arusi, Shewa, ilubabour, harar and the likes were living Semetic speaking people. Today’s wellega was called at the time Damot before the survivors left to Gajam and settled in the place they are calling it today Damot to remember their land Which is wellega.
The point is, there is no Tigry as such we are witnessing today. Those living in Tigry today are also the children of those in the southern and other part of Ethiopia lived for centuries before the gragn war and the mass Galla Migration . So, there is no any reason any one from Tigry becomes comfortable only with today’s Tigry while the whole Ethiopia is their ancestors land.
Hate creates another hate. If you don’t support, stop causing troubles. Sye is a patriotic Ethiopian he deserves to get a chance to correct the mistakes made by him and others intentionally and unintentionally. How can he become part of the Entire Ethiopian people if you are treating him like this with rumours coming from sick individuals? Be mature. Be wise. Be visionary rather than narrow-minded. He has the right to have own political direction as long as he is a true and trusted Ethiopian. I know he is a true Ethiopian. The meles group also can play this way in order to isolate Sye. becarful
To make it clear I was one of those had doubt about him back then. He is learnt a lot the truth about his country and people. Back them he had no idea except Tigry and the likes. Now he and others know about the Ethiopian history, people and the likes.
Woyanne is doing all its best to reeves the intensify struggle by using endless tactics and techniques.
Among their endeavor to miss direct the struggle, especially to abort the coming election of 2010, there is no unturned stone by Woyanne..
Siye is one of their strategies they took out from prison center.
Pastor Tamirat Layne, who washed his hands in bloods of innocents Ethiopian, is the second project of Woyanne to save them.
We do not need the former TPLF officials unless they heartily criticized them self in public and get the deserved penalty.
I do not know how much of you read the recent page 32 articles of Siye.in his writings, he condemn armed struggle. He also tried to undermine to wage armed resistance and at the same time impossible to do and cannot be made again as TPLF under his leadership did it.
ALS, you know one thing always comes in my mind always while the fall down of Derg rose and the victory of TPLF mentioned over Derg.
Derg was overthrown by its own stupidity leadership and the detachment from the heart and minds of Ethiopian. The Ethiopian armies had not been defeated by the bullet thrown far away from untrained armies of Siye.
Anyway, Siye and his buddies are trying their best to secure the remaining lives of them.
If they need to come to the comp of the opposition groups, first they must expose all the crime that they committed.
They must tell us the hereabout of EPRP leaders, such as Debteraw and the rest his comrades.
