One of the two known scholars that recognized the brilliance of Dr. Abiy Ahmed early on

Post by DefendTheTruth » 12 May 2023, 15:18

Dr. Abiy Ahmed is not perfect, he misses possibly many things but he has undoubtedly the impetus needed to know more and share from what he has already known more. This is perhaps one of the key characteristics of an intellectual. No one is perfect, but also not many aspire to reach more and higher like he does.

There could be many people that realised his scholarily quality but the late Prof. Mesfin Woldemariyam, whom I can't sign off as somehow associated with the political stand of Dr. Abiy, comes to mind. He didn't hide his appreciation of the intellectual quality of Dr. Abiy from the get go.

The other known scholar is Prof. Alemayehu Gebremariyam of California state university (?, I am not sure about the name of his university) who also recognized the intellectual capacity of Dr. Abiy early on and stayed the course so far. He is also one of the great patriots of Ethiopian nationalism.

He could be among the few who are not motivated by the personal gain or fame in jumping on the bandwagon of "the change" and swayed in every direction of the day's wind. I was one of those people who considered the Prof. a sort of biased opportunist earlier, wrongly.


Objectivity is the rare commodity in the current political field of the country, where everybody get's up and acts an analyst of politics.

This is not 2018.
This is 2023, exactly 5 years from the day Abiye Ahmed Ali took power.

2 million deaths later we have a clearer picture of who he is.
No body can tell us (certainly not a dead professor) Ethiopia is now safer, prosperous and well lead by a bunch of con artists.

Words can’t explain the extent and the depth of quagmire Ethiopia is in. I personally don’t think it will ever come out of this nightmare.

By all accounts this PM is the worst PM in the world.

Ethiopia is not yet safe (I lived through that myself and witnessed it), not yet prosperous (but there are more and more people leading a much better life, but not all), not yet also lead by great leaders, not all of them are good leaders today.

But don't expect that will come without any price, everything good has got a price. Don't assume it will happen out of the blue overnight or simply that easy.

There is a price that we are going to pay for a better tomorrow.

ሆረስ፤

በነገራችን ላይ ፕ/ር አል-ማርያም ስውር ኦነግ ነበር የሚል ሃሜት ከብዙዎች እሰማለሁ። እራሱን የደበቀ ጽንፈኛ የወለጋ ኦሮሙማ አንሶላ አንሶላ የሚያህል ወያኔ የሚኮንኑ መጣጥፎችን ማታ ጽፎ ለጠዋት የሚያደርስ ነበር። ይህ የምሰማው ሃሜት በብዙ መልኩ እውነትነት ያለው ይመስለኛል። በየትኛውም ክፍለ ዘመን እና አገር ተከስቶ የማያውቅ የሰብዐዊ መብት እረገጣ ሲደርስ አላያሁም አልሰማሁም በማለት ሁላችን አይተናል። What is your take on this.

ፕ/ር መስፍን ከህልፈታቸው ጥቂት ቀደም ብሎ በኦሮሙማ መንግስት አይረቤነት ጸጸታቸውን ገልጸው ያለፉ ይመስለኛል።
