I never had doubted about the destructive motives of the TPLF thugs, even when they were fighting their gorilla war in the 1970s, as their ultimate objective was to separate Tigray from the rest of Ethiopia. Every policy they have implemented since their assumption of state power in Ethiopia has been special treatment of Tigray against all odds. Their whole objective since 1991 was consolidating Tigre supremacy than delivering services to the Ethiopian people.
Soon after their entry to the capital, their first attempt was to call for fake and opportunistic ethnic entities to participate in the “Transitional Charter”, that they were able to dictate its outcome, legitimizing their governing of the country as a coalition of ethnic representatives. That was when they were able to recruit their pioneer fake ethnic representatives, like Tesfaye Habisso, Beyene Petros, Simon Mechale, Petros Wontamo (all southerners), in addition to what they already had for the OPDO (Kuma Demeksa, Aba Dula Gemeda, Hassen Ali, etc) and ANDM (Tamirat Layne, Addisu Legesse, Tefera Walwa, Bereket Simon was already a woyane member disguised as Amhara), to endorse their “Transitional Charter” that ensured the division of Ethiopia along ethnic lines, and preferential treatment of Tigray on the pretext of being marginalized and affected during the civil war.
They then instigated vengeance against the Amhara in Arbagugu, Bedeno, Chelenko, sowing the seed of hatred amongst Ethiopian societies that have lived in harmony for generations. Such kind of TPLF instigated ethnic conflicts continued unabated in Awassa, Bech Madji Zone, Gambella, Gedio and Borana Zones. Such ethnic conflicts continue to happen to this day in all parts of the country, unfortunately with the support of the federal government and the involvement of the federal army.
Along side with this ugly promotion of ethnic division is, the concurrent strategy of the TPLF that tries to undermine the free movement of people, by confining them to learn and work only in their ethnic language, that would eventually bar them from moving to any other parts of the country as they would not be able to speak the language of that ethnic group or region.
The level of discrimination has reached an untold proportion in Ethiopia where , members of the Tigre Ethnic groups have controlled everything in the country: entry level public sector jobs (cleaners, messengers, guards, secretaries, etc) to all sectors of the professions (physicians, engineers, teachers, geologists, lawyers, etc.) businesses (where the EFFORT is on top of everything) and politics (the cadres/indoctrinators of the Revolutionary Democracy).
There have recently been reports of widespread conflicts, hungers, and medical emergencies in the country, particularly that of cholera, consuming the lives of people in the capital, Addis Ababa, and spreading all over the country at an alarming rate, which the TPLF is denying.
Instead, the TPLF thugs are busy, pretending, negotiating with the non-existing opposition in Ethiopia towards the upcoming 2010 election, in a forum organized by the British Embassy in Addis, Meles , is bluffing about vetoing the climate talk in Copenhagen (as if Meles is concerned to any of the real issues affecting the Ethiopian and the African peoples, and as if he has any power of influencing global policies as a beggar).
My fellow Ethiopians, let us wake up!! TPLF has always been consolidating its power, to control every aspect of the people over the last 19 years, not delivering services to the Ethiopian people. And it is boldly setting the stage further to continue to rule by force, no matter what!!! Today is the day we have to pledge ourselves to an urgent mission of saving our country from the TPLF gangsters, not tomorrow!!! Don’t expect a pigeon’s egg from a snake!!!
