"Out of sheer fear of losing power, EPP started assassinating prominent members of the opposition EZEMA Party. ኢትዮጵያ ትፈርሳለች!"

First let me start by saying RIP for the deceased, every life is precious and shouldn’t be lost by any means outside the will of the God that created it. Taking out life and trying to trade on the lost life are both equally a sin, in my view and in a religious country like Ethiopia.

Second we were told that a “prominent member” of the EZEMA party was assassinated by the operatives of the ruling EPP party. We are still waiting for the explanation on how he (the deceased) assumed the prominence and what his track records are. Someone can’t be a prominent politician without any tangible accomplishment on the ground, if I may guess. Did this party even administer a given Kebele before? Did it have any track record of accomplishing a simple community work as an independent body of the government? In the absence of such accomplishment how then can this party poses any serious challenge to the encumbent?

Just joining an opposition party can’t make someone a prominent politician, isn’t it?

In the absence of a prominence (and based on that a serious challenge to the party in power) why does the party in power take onto itself to assassinate, or even somehow encourage to do so, a member of the opposition and draw public attention to itself, if not for anything, then for the failure of ensuring safety of the citizens. It is clear and the ruling party and other independent observers have said on multiple times that the government can’t protect every single citizen of the country around the hours and at every places in the country. No one can ensure that, for that matter. But every government still tries to deflect such a semblance before the wider public.

If the answers to these questions are not clear by any stretch of an imagination, then using a dead person for a political maneuvering is nothing but simply a Sin, and defying the words of God.

EZEMA Party. ኢትዮጵያ ትፈርሳ I have no clue what you mean by that ?
"Every life is precious and shouldn’t be lost by any means outside the will of the God that created it." Amen to that .

For starters don't start assuming that people who read your comments are gullible.

your argument is so flimsy "We are still waiting for the explanation on how he (the deceased) assumed the prominence and what his track records are. Someone can’t be a prominent politician without any tangible accomplishment on the ground, if I may guess. Did this party even administer a given Kebele before?

If his political activity is very local, his prominence will be local as well. When one runs for political office he doesn't have to accomplish anything t , what he needs to do is expose the incompetence of the EPP unelected authorities who are monopolized the power in his local district and layout how better he is going to do if he is elected. so your argument is flat.

Yes but
EPDRF/OPDO has never been a virtuous political party that has been catering to the interests of the Oromo or Other Ethiopians who reside in its region . Its record of power abuse and servitude for weyaness is known fact for all. So " the Oromo prosperity party " supposedly has to come up with a new vision to convince all that it is a better reformist Political party to serve the people . Instead of coming up with a new policy, it is an old wine in the new bottle. Its intimidation tactics and attempt to terrorize its citizens and the opposition parties are the same tactics that has been used for 27 years of weyaness, and it seems, it refused to abandon it.

You haven't heard the saying " politics is local" I don't know the reason you are hanging on the so--called prominence. But for your question why? there are plenty of reason why? and there are evidences if you check how they exercise their power in the past 3 years in Beshoftu . There are many times the opposition parties have been forbidden not to campaign, even to have a meeting both in Beshofu/ Debreziet and Adama/ Nazrate. And you are aware of the problem. On both cities the majority of the people residing in the city are mixed people, OPP is afraid that , if there is a democratic election they going to lose big , so instead of making people believe that they will be treated fairly and their democratic rights and privileges as citizens will be protected -- their dummy way political campaign is to get elected by threatening people and threatening everyone if they chose other party they will be chased out of the city. They want the residence of the cities to accept their second citizenship and the treatment that comes along with it. That is the heart of the matter but you act as if you don't know it . you sugarcoating it with "absence of a prominence" really?
"It is clear and the ruling party and other independent observers have said on multiple times that the government can’t protect every single citizen of the country around the hours and at every places in the country. No one can ensure that, for that matter. "
When you make this kind of statement " you look out-of-sync to the real situation in Ethiopia " No doubt you aren't out of sync though . You have made the same statement about Metekel while back. No body is saying government can protect every citizen from criminals, however , a political terrorist within his ranks of the Oromia administration , as we witnessed in Oromia, which the government confessed to fire 9000 of them for in their part for ethnic cleansing , that is the part the government needs to cleans itself. By the way the murdered father , and may be the only bread winner in the family , has posted that he was threatened by government officials before he was killed. So where there is smoke there is fire --my friend.
