A futile discussion is going in the cyber world about Meles Zenawi's departure from power. Aiga and the Ethiopian Reporter have made this discussion a fan fare. And other non pro-TPLF websites are also intertaining this discussion. I am very saddened by these developments. That is exactly what the TPLF thugs want us to engage ourselves in and waste our valuable time and distract our attention from the core issues that have to be dealt in Ethiopia.
As to me, the core issue is, the minority TPLF thugs are, in control of Ethiopia, and sucking it to its death. That is the issue every concerned Ethiopian has to hammer, deal with, and seek the solution for.
The TPLF thugs, Meles and Co. have ammassed millions of aid and tax dollars, their Tigrayan kins are in charge of every department and section in every government sector, while they only constitute 6% of the Ethiopian population. They are also controlling the "regions" from behind the scene. Much of developemtn resource is directed to Tigrayover the last 18 years of Woyane rule. Just compare the number of Ineternational Airports Tigray has, to the Southern or other regions. Tigray has Mekele, Aksum and Adowa Airports, besides the airstrip in Adigrat (totally four). Compare this to the South, an air strip in Arbaminch, and Awassa. And in Oromia, airstrips in Jimma, Nekempte, Dembidollo. And in Amhara one international airport in Bahirdar (much less sophisticated than the one in Mekele), and airstrips in Desse, Lalibella, and Gondar.
I leave the judgement to you Ethiopians. While Tigray has about 4 state of the art airports (with 6% of the the general Ethiopian population), the rest of the country (Oromia, Amhara, and South), with more than 75% of the population has only less than 10 airports. The physically huge Somali and Afar regions have negligible airports. Is this fair? Shouldn't we talk about this? Shouldn't Meles and Co. be held accountable to this gross injustice? Shouldn't every Ethiopian focus on exposing these injustices with emprical evidence in every sector of the Ethiopian polity/society?
All of us have at least a moral obligation to tell the truth, and make the Ethiopian people aware and make the judgement as to how the TPLF should be dealth with.
Meles and Co. have destroyed Ethiopia, thier hands are soaked with so many inocent Ethiopians' blood, and have accumulated wealth unheard of in Ethiopian political history, and will never, never, never, relinquish power in anyway (election or voluntary resignation) unless forced.
The discussion should be how should we force them to step down and hold them accountable!!! Any other futile discussion is allowing them to humilate the masses and destroy the country irriverisbly.
My fellow Ethiopians, I beg you all, to focus where focus is due.
