The alternative is the center!
On G7's recent public meeting in the USA......defensive politics
G7 is engaged in
politics and has to demonstrate grasp of
issues and especially its understanding of power politics. By complaining
about side issues such as some name calling-- G7cannot gloss over the serious
questions raised by Ethiopians following its political
gambling with the Ethiopian enemies to
remove another enemy. Name calling and condemnations of dangerous polices are
not pleasant but they are sometimes 'il male necessario' to sensitize the people.
Moreover, G7 followers in several paltaks rooms profusely used it and continue to use it. Why did
it irritate you while other do the same to you? You should learn to be more
tolerant for politics is not preaching about gospel. It’s all about power and
is conflict ridden. Don’t forget: Eng.
Haile Shauel and Dr. Birhanu have had a mutual interest to work together. That
didn’t happen because of the irresponsible power struggle that ensued and sadly culminated in the
decimation of the CUD’s spirit. Who did benefit by the withering away of CUD’s
spirit? Nobody! Did Birhanu Nega
consult the CUD before the announcement to the public about the calling off the planned demonstration? If your answer is YES then... he probably would have been by now not only Mayor but also Prime Minster. Politics is also an art of taking over power. That art should never!
Never! favor an inch to your enemies. Since Birhanu’s power base is the center the struggle has to start there. Not in Eritrea. Our forefathers Abebe Aregai,
Geressu Duki, Bekele Woya, Belay Zeleke and other fought in the center. Birhanu’s
army can also do that. If Birhanu ignores the center and listens only to his instinct then the former has to resist him for a country (for whatever remained) should
not be sacrificed for his blind political ambition. Apart from some
excess Mr. Mulugeta Lulle’s interview with ESAT of Sisaye Agena was very honest. He correctly indicated the risk
of G7's choice. He stated..” if Isayas changes his opinion then all is a futile
attempt”.
One would think that Tesfaye Gebreab’s
book and his operation for Shabia should have lead to the reconsideration of G7
working with Shabaia. As we read Tesfaye's new book he clearly came to Europe to work closely with the Oromo
separatist and this squarely falls with the strategy of Isayas to dismember
Ethiopia. Tesfaye also clearly indicated Shabia’s and other foreign powers intention by quoting Gebru Tarke’s work when
he favors a greater polity than the present Ethiopian ---Horn of Africa. The latter entails the destruction of Ethiopia and then create mini states that would form the federation of the Horn of Africa.
