Obbo Abiy didn't learn from Obbo Mengistu- forced conscriptions only delay the inevitable, i.e. defeat and collapse of the regime.
The question is: what will take its place? will a pp member take power instead? i am hearing that, they are trying to bring lamma magarsa back to the forefront, so we shall see what that entails.
Some 90% of Ethiopians support Dr. Abiy as they have clearly demonstrated in their current voting behaviors. Even OLF leaders said that they strongly support and accept the current election even if they did not have the opportunity and the chance to take part in the election this time. They think that the groundwork and the base has already been established and that makes the future very bright for all concerned, including themselves. And they are 100% correct!
Tplf and its camouflaged Trojan horses have already expired and waiting to melt away slowly but surely. Our young people should fight for Ethiopia anywhere in Ethiopia much before all of those hidden enemies come to knock at their doors.
What is the BIG DEAL here talking about Mengistu era endlessly when we know that gallant Oromo patriots like general Abdisaa Aga have been fighting non stop in several battles, multiple fronts and two continents, finally crushing the over armed, over fed and over drunk aggressive fascist invaders and sending them back to where they came with their dirty cursed tails between their cursed legs.
If general Abdisa Aga can plan, organize, command, fight and defeat a large world class modern European army on European land escape under European sky, why can't the brave Oromo youth able to fight trouble making vandals and law breakers in Ethiopia and through that make their country and their communities safe and secure for ever? YES THEY CAN!
Obbo Sun,
Let's be honest here: you are exaggerating in regards to the support that Obbo Abiy has in the country. I am sure, he has a lot of support in Amhara state, in Addis Ababa/Finfinne, while in the rest of the country, it's not so clear. He arrested and neutralized, by force, any credible opposition in Oromia, so of course he'd win there; who else did they have to vote for? No one.
It's like saying, if you have two choices on a test, that are the same, and you HAVE to pick one, and then you proceed to pick one, that you had ''free choice.''
Which OLF leaders? Dawud Ibsa, who had an office in Addis, peacefully working, until he was targeted too; despite the fact that he's not commander of any armed wing?
If you support Abiy, because you see him and his government, with their flaws, and all, as the only thing keeping Ethiopia from collapsing- then fair enough, I too, would back Abiy, over having no government at all. It's the lesser of two evils theory/concept.
An essential principle in my religion, is that, a dictatorship for 60 years, is better than having no government [all out chaos] for even a DAY/NIGHT.
Fair, enough there.
Just couldn't help but be baffled when I saw Oromo mothers cry as the PP cadres took Oromo youth by force, to go train.
Were those mothers consulted? Were they educated as to how this is a national threat-if that's the case?!
If TPLF's endgame/goal is to attain their lost power, then this should be made clear to those being forcefully recruited and sent to the frontlines/or to train, to eventually be sent there. An educated soldier, and motivated one, is essential for victory.
Like everything else in life, if you are motivated to do something, determined to do it, and believe in the cause, you will do better and be efficient at whatever it is you're doing, even if it's something as simple as Making Injera on a Mitad and making delicious Doro Wat and Salata.
