My family and I would like to extend our heart-felt best wishes for all Ethiopians everywhere in this Holiday Season and the year that follows. We wish you all the New Year to bring all the success in every blessed work you do. Please join us in our prayers for peace and stability for those noble people and country that produced us all. Insha'Allah!!!

But that country is going through terrible spell of killer diseases such malaria, cholera, dengue and starvation especially in the two largest regions of Amhara and Oromia. Cholera is killing citizens in Somalia region too but that is not human induced incidence. In Amhara and Oromia, it is. Such tragedy is one of the dividends of stupid conflicts. Chaos always accompanies wars which make critical assistance almost impossible for those who need it. In this day and age, such deaths from avoidable scourge should not have happened. But what our over qualified daughter/sister Dr, Lia bint Tadesse can do? I am sure her heart is just as broken as mine. Bigots are running amok in Amhara and Oromia targeting public infrastructures and civil servants. The demonic outlaw in Oromia is massacring innocent observers of The Holy Scriptures every where in Arsi and Western Oromia. Malaria, dengue, cholera and other not yet identified epidemics are killing civilians in areas where the so-called ‘Liberation Front’ is rampaging. Let alone nation's health service staff, even international aid groups have been denied access by these two groups of bandits in the two regions. The noble citizens of these two regions are at the mercy of the hooligans among them and the regime’s deadly drones raining bombs on top of them.

In light of all of this tragedy, you may ask what those among us who should know better with PhD’s are doing? These stubborn dumbbells are arguing over the ‘reputation’ of this or that leader of lawless ruffians. For these smart alecks the motto is war and destruction or bust. They blare their idiotic ‘zerraafs’ and ‘gerersaas’ trying to feed on our raw emotions and making blood money off of it. I am holding these two bands of hoodlums, their drum beaters among us along with the regime itself except the ministry of health officials for this and other avoidable deaths and destruction from totally avoidable diseases and conflicts. I have said this before and I will say it again. There is no reason that justifies the current stupid melees in the two largest regions of that country. None whatsoever! All of the issues could have been dealt and resolved peacefully. They will never be effectively and amicably addressed by violence.

I say this to my very dear Amhara brothers and sisters. I am aware of the fact that you have been unfairly targeted and demonized for all the ills that have been haunting that country. I don’t blame you if you accost me about that. Your anger has basis for it. I totally understand that. In some cases your anger is seen to boil over. I understand that also. But I also see bigots among you who are trying to use your raw anger and emotion for their long term hideous scheme. They are rallying up the hopelessly unemployed youth and pushing it to flock to the bushes just to meet its untimely demise. Bigots over there from their safe rabbit holes and here from their comfy homes are taking the two regions to irreversible destruction. Millions will senselessly die and will end up maimed with millions left homeless. For me no one was an angel the whole time in its history. There has never been real democracy anywhere in that country throughout its existence. Every ethnic group has done many things good and many things bad. That is in the past and the current generation is totally innocent of it and this must be used as a springboard for peaceful dialogue. Let’s all root and pray for that. Insha’Allah!!!

Please forgive me for a few spelling errors because I am now overwhelmed with emotions.

Happy Holidays Y'all!!!!
