  2. Exploiting religion to political advantage will hurt Ethiopia, and there is little change that this can bring. Let these religious fathers decide what they want not to help politicians, but to make the Ethiopian orthodox church one. Religion is all about unity, it is not about division and orchestration political affiliation of some groups!

  3. @Goje,
    did you understand what a politics mean? Politics is a quest to seek a position to govern. If you don’t have right to speak, write, to live anywhere in your country, or don’t have the right to choose your religion, it is not politics. it is a quest for freedom. you can’t live without freedom, You have to act, and you can’t live on someone’s sacrifice. So, you have to fight for your survival.

    What our fathers are demanding is for the public freedom that was taken from autocrats, as well as for unity of their people seeking continual peace.

  4. But man stole integrity from Bees. He never got them compensatory damage. [A’msa yee’s’Ge’doo]. Man stole[Ethiopian] the banana eating trick from Vervets. By then, it was mashroom.

  5. Since Zinawi was installed as the prime minster by the anti-Ethipia organization that he and his subordnates founded decades ago,Ethiopians were undergoing brutality and our country was extremely looted and hurt badly.We greately value our religion and it is a part of our life,as our country is the land we were born in and die for it,we keep our country, our people,our religion,and democracy above and more than anything and everything else.We shall defend,our life;our country;our religions.
