Woyane: A Government that Deserves a Coup

I think the count down to Woyane's demise has just started if the coup attempt, that, they claimed has occured is to be believed, and that should be something that we Ethiopians have to be proud of and should be supported by the international community, rather than being averted.

What options has Woyane left for Ethiopians to exercise their right of electing their leaders, except by coup? It has stolen the 2005 election, vowed to remain in power on the ground of building a developmental state, is stageplaying to conduct a sham election for 2010, and has already started jailing prominent opposition leaders in the country.

Woyane is a government without a constituency in Ethiopia, just clinging to power by sheer force. Its confidence on its sheer force has reached such an arrogant proportion that it considers itself that it cannot be challenged and can rule with impunity. On their own account, we are now witnessing that they had an inflated perception of themselves. That they are weak and vulnerable.

For a people that has been demanding its freedom, and that has been denied all options of exercising its right, a coup could be an alternative route. Thus the effort of the Ethiopian military to stage a coup is the right step that has to be encouraged and facilitated, not averted by the international community.

The Ethiopian people, the horn of Africa region and the wider intenational community would be better off if the Woyane regime is deposed from power by all means. This is a regime willing to play all the cards to spread terror in the country and the region if it sees any threat to its power.

As evidenced, after the alleged coup incident, the Woyane regime has been calling the US government to hand him over, the leader of Ginbot 7 as the culprit, and is threatening to destabilize the region if its question is not answered. They shamelessly reveal their desire to hold America hostage to their sinister motive of staying in power.

It is high time for America and the democratic world to draw the red line. It is time to encourage the military to harness the benefit out of a coup. There is no sovereignty to be lost by doing so. Woyane is an illegitimate and unpopular regime that deserves to be deposed by a strategic coup, before the country is engulfed by a more costly civil war where the international community pays even more price.

Woyane: Hell bent to Control not Develop Ethiopia

The Woyane gangesters had their most recent meeting in Addis Ababa where they discussed about strategy of stage playing the next election and continuing to rule the country illegitimately.

We heared that they also discussed their plan of industrializing the contry to substitute import. And their priority is the defence industry!!! What a developmental state!!! Produce more armaments in a country whose people are chronically food insecure and more than ten million people are starving every year. In a country that has one of the biggest infant mortality rate and maternal motality rate in Sub Saharan Africa, it is insane to make defence a priority.

As of their own account, in the 2008/09 budget, Woyane's planned defense expenditure was already more than the sum total of the expenditure for health and agriculture. This is a clear indication of Woyane's desire to rule the people by frightening. A government, focused on developing the country and caring for its people would reflect that by investing more on health and agriculture not on bullets.
