The Call of the Time to Save Ethiopia: Unity of the Opposition

Fragmented opposition to the Woyane regime in Ethiopia has little chance in brignging down the dectatorial regime in whatever form of struggle or electoral process domestically, nor can it pose a strong international diplomatic pressure on the regime.

It has been said time and again that even countries that have come to realize the true nature of Woyane as a dectatorial regime, had difficulty pressurizing the government, in fear of creating a power vaccum, because of lack of a united and credible opposition that can stabilize the country. For example, over the last four to five years the US Department of State and Congress were being approached by a number of Ethiopian opposition groups who claimed to represent the interest of Ethiopians. In some instances, some of these appraoched the State Department undermining the effort of the other opposition. Similar approaches of the opposition with the international diplomatic community crippled the potential diplomatic support that could have been gained to challenge Woyane.

It is obvious that no foreign country will fight the fight for us to bring Woyane down. Nor none of us can fight alone the monestrous Woyane. Woyane has closed all the ways in which we can openly unite and peacefully oppose it on the ground in Ethiopia. We still have to unite and go underground to resist and get rid of Woyane by all means in Ethiopia.

And in the diaspora, where there is the freedom to associate and express opinion freely, we have to come together and provide a credible alternative, to help the international diplomatic community pressurize the despotic Woyane to submit to negotiations with the opposition. This is the call of the time: providing a credible and united opposition as an alternative!!! Every Ethiopian in the diaspora has to answer to this call!!!
