A public meeting organized by Ato Moges Bruck in Los Angeles for Ato Hailu Shawel this coming weekend has been cancelled because of growing disagreement over Dr Taye Woldesemayat’s role, among other things.
Ato Moges is the former chairman of Kinijit Los Angeles and a close personal friend of Ato Hailu. He allegedly controls much of the money diverted by Shaleqa Yoseph Yazew from Kinijit’s account. Recently, Ato Moges has started to resent the way Hailu Shawel was single-handedly making decisions without consulting him. He is also unhappy with the increasing role Dr Taye has been playing in the Shawel gang, while he, Ato Solomon Bekele and others are being pushed aside. Dr Taye was also the main reason for the popular Tensae Radio to be closed down.
The Shawel gang is falling apart, leaving Abayneh Berhanu and others in Ethiopia out in the cold. Realizing what is going on, Ato Abayneh and friends in Addis Ababa have decided to mend relations with Wzt. Birtukan Mideksa and the Kinijit executive committee. Because there are elements on both sides who do not want reconciliation, the discussions are so far kept secret.
It would be great if Abayneh and Birtukan reach an agreement and start working together under the Kinijit umbrella and strictly adhering to the party’s rules and procedure. The door must not be closed to any one, even to Ayele Chamiso. There is a time for fighting, and a time for making peace.
