TPLF/EPRDF is an obstacle for the
Ethiopian dream
By Abraham Zerihun
Is there such a thing called Ethiopian Dream?
On many occasions, we hear about the American dream-a dream
whereby the individual lives in a democratic society with no physical and/or
psychological fears of any kind. As broken and ailing as it might sound to us,
Americans still have an ‘American Dream’ wherein the individual enjoys
sovereignty. When Chinese President Xi Jinping assumed presidency in November
2012, he managed to shore up his legitimacy by championing the ‘Chinese Dream’
of moderately prosperous society, national rejuvenation and individual
happiness. It remains to be seen if the Chinese Dream was an expedient tool by
Xi Jinping’s leadership. But for now, a Chinese can hold a dream of his own in
a system that is renowned for its collectivist tendencies.
There is no social networks, Facebook, private media that the
Chinese can criticize the government. But the whole Chinese are scattered all
over the world, manage world economy in every sector in a dream communist china
and Chinese will feed and control
the whole world in the future.
Yes, there was a thing called Ethiopian dream such as being
independent nation from ancient times unlike other Africans. Yes, patriots died
for the sake of one Ethiopian dream, sovereign and prosperous land.
However the Ethiopian dream is now ruined by the current dictator,
racist Nazi government TPLF/EPRDF (Tigray
Liberation Front). This is a dream of making great Tigray empire.
The first obstacle TPLF created is its Ethnic based federalism. We want to be
called Ethiopian but TPLF is dividing us and is calling as Amhara, Oromo,
Sidama, etc which is a divide and rule strategy of Old European colony style.
It created the displacement of Amhara nation from south Ethiopia Guraferda and
Benishangul regions, and also the mass killing of Annuak tribes from Gambella
region.
This dictatorship rule commits atrocities such as massacres, genocide,
starvation and incitement of interethnic conflicts and preaching and spreading
of hatred among the different communities
The second is economical colonialism in which
the majority of the business in the
country is monopolized by Tigray
born TPLF members. There are more than 40 firms run by them collectively known
as EFFORT. The rest of the economy give priority to foreign investors that is
direct Neo Colonialism.
Farmers that are accused of supporting and voting for the
opposition parties are systematically abused and punished through the denial of
access to fertilizers, improved seeds, humanitarian help and other social
services. They are evicted from their fertile farming lands which are leased to
foreign investors from China, India and Saudi Arabia and forced to settle
elsewhere without adequate provisions and support.
The miserable rule and repression of the successors of the
Ethno fascist rule of Meles Zenawi is forcing the ever increasing number
citizens to leave the country in
search of safety and better opportunities.
Many are losing their lives in the Sahara desert and seas
while attempting to reach the west. We had a dream-a dream to live by our toil
and hardworking unlike what the conscience-less regime apologists want to portray
us. We all know fleeing debauches our dignity and integrity both as people and
individuals.
Aid money and emergency
humanitarian help
are abused as political weapons against citizens. The abuses and excesses of
the regime we have mentioned here are only some of the problems citizens face
in their daily lives.
Thirdly in the health
sector, the
government is sterilizing citizens
to abolish Ethiopians with their dreams. See the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QWqw3JW5w4
how the young Amhara women are vaccinated the
anti-pregnancy forcefully. This is also justified by the government Central
Statistical Agency Director Ms. Samya Zekaria. She elaborated, the discrepancy more
than 2 million Amhara Ethiopians are disappeared in the 2007 Census is because
of health problems, HIV/AIDS in addition to the vaccine genocide led by
TPLF.
As a direct consequence of this finding, the TPLF parliament
has reduced the annual budget allocation to the Amhara regional state, which
further complicates the very survival of the Amhara people.
At the last, the worst
case that Ethiopia is now a hell of prisoners.
The government has enacted different draconian laws including the
anti-terrorism law mainly aimed at penalizing dissent, curbing freedom of
expression, free media and cracking down on its opponents and pro-democracy activists.
Journalists of the free press, Zone 9 bloggers, leaders,
suspected members and supporters of the opposition parties are thrown into the
worst and notorious prisons throughout the country on tramped up and fictitious
charges, exposed to tortures and other inhuman treatments.
Fictitious histories is given to the One Ethiopia
visionaries King Theodros, Minilik II. Intellectuals
like professor Asrat Weldeyes, Political leaders such as Andargachew Tsige
,Andualem Arage are in jail because their name Anda stands for the unity &
freedom of Ethiopia.
The renowned Ethiopian ex NASA
scientist engineer Kitaw Ejigu had a vision of one developed Ethiopia. He was
born in Kaffa Bonga, and in 2002, he founded a political party, the Ethiopian National United Front, to
overthrow the TPLF regime. Unlike
Meles zenawi envisioned only Tigray TPLF, Scientist Kitaw Ejigu foresaw about a
better Ethiopia and Africa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c27mQgAzZM
Meles Zenawi couldnot
be accounted for making dam on River Abay. King HaieSilasie I was the first
master mind of constructing dam over river Nile as we can see the dam vision in
Hailesilasie’s Currency . The formation of Derg and TPLF is the hindering stone
for the advancement of Ethiopia by His majesty HaileSilasie I.
Ethiopia is becoming 11 country/ autonomous regional state according
to the dream of TPLF Ethinic based fake Federalism. What we are expecting to
think while the Ethiopians are entitled to jail upon birth? What are we waiting
when they form a greater Tigray empire while disintegrating the rest of
Ethiopia.
We are forced to think of Bantustan Kilile rather than saying
my country. How the the accumulated wealth, knowledge of diaspora Ethiopians is
benefiting the country instead of individual dream?
The obstacle Tigray Liberation Front/Ethiopian people’s Revolutionary
Democratic Front /(TPLF/EPRDF) should be removed to reestablish Ethiopian real dream
of development.
This way the Ethiopian culture of living in harmony will be
in an irreversible state.
