I was reading a recent MoFA statement, just posted on Aiga Forum, ridiculing Isayas Afeworki of Eritrea, under the title "President Isayas lectures the world, masquerading as the defender of Ethiopian Unity". In fact, if any word comes out of PM Meles Zenawi talking about Ethiopian Unity, I would have used the same title to ridicule Meles, since I am certain that, Meles has no agenda of defending Ethiopia's unity. From the start, as their first manifesto entails, TPLF's objective was to weaken and break up Ethiopia and build a Tigray Republic.
I don't see anything wrong, if Isayas projected himself as a defender of Ethiopian unity,in the so called interviews he gave, if after a long period of reflection (now 19 years), he has come to realize that defending Ethiopia's unity benefits Eritrea too, in all ways than one. Leaders make mistakes, acknowledge it, learn from it and make a renewed committment, to repair the damage they have inflicted. If Isayas is moving in that direction, I will give him the benefits of the doubt. I am against Meles's rigid evil stance.
On the contrary, Meles and co. (TPLF) are the ones who are still advocating for a weakened and divided Ethiopia. Weren't Meles and co. the ones ridiculing, himilating and belittling us, Ethiopians, for promoting the idea of, or even talking about Ethiopian unity? The TPLF had no remorse, not admitted any wrong regarding their position on Ethiopian unity. While we still have to prove him right, Isayas is at least showing signs of change regarding his past position on Ethiopian unity. The TPLF thugs are angry whenever they hear about Ethiopian unity. Whoever, that speaks about Ethiopian unity is their enemy.
The statement also shamelessly accused Isayas for closing political space, for lack of accountability, lack of the rule of law, and absence of election, and free media in Eritrea. What a hypocrsy!!! I am not saying that Eritrea is a democracy, but the TPLF thugs, who are the helm of dectatorship, have no any moral authority to accuse President Isayas as a dictator. There is no accountability, rule of law, free media and free elction in TPLF's Ethiopia.
I couldn't stop laughing when I read the line that accused Eritrea for condemning the US. Wasn't just about two weeks ago that Meles and Co. were barraging their insult and accusations on the US Department of State, for publishing the dismal Human Rights situation prevailing in Ethiopia?
In fact, I was unable to find a single sentence in the MoFA statement that does not apply exactly on the TPLF thugs.
So TPLF, give us a break!! Whatever disguise you use to try to hide your identity, will never work. You are our worst enemy!!! The fight for freedom continues!!!(Nekae bilenal)
