Hafez Al-Asaad of Syria, who was commander in cheif of the Syrian Air Force in the the late 1960s, was a member of the minority Alawite tribe in Syria, who overthrew the then dictatorial government of President Nureidin and became president of Syria from 1971-2000, until he died. Since then his son, Bashar Al-Asaad is ruling Syria as president.
For almost over 40 years Syria has been ruled by the minority Alawites by sytematically alieniating the majority of Syrians from playing the right role the political and economic spheres of the country. The middle easten dictatorships in Iraq, syria, Libya, Jordan, Yemen, Egypt, Tunisia, etc. were all built along the same line of marginalizing the majority of the populations in those socieites.
And we have witnessed and are still witnessing what all those years of marginzalizations and extreme repressions of the majority populations in those countries have resulted and resulting in those countries from the recent turn of events.
Meles Zenawi recently bragged that he is immune from the revolutions that are rocking the Middle East and Noth Africa. But his recent futile attempts of rallying the Ethiopian Diaspora and the grandoise talk of building the Millenium Dam on the the Nile are symptoms of in built fear among the Woyane thugs and efforts to appease Ethiopias from rising in unison against his regime. Also the sudenn surge in improsoning opposition members from the ONC and OFDM and warnings to the UDJ and sabre rattling of war with Eritrea are all not signs of confidence and immunity from resistence with in.
For the rest of us Ethiopians, these very desperate attempts of the Woyane should give us even more courage to strengthen our resolve to challenge the thugs once and for all.
Momentum is on our side! We will win and get rid of Woyane soon!
