Edu’s advice to Gech & Co.
Posted: 23 Aug 2024, 17:34
In my mind, there’s no political leader that surpasses Getachew Reda in the entire country.
He’s all rounded. He comes from Academic background. He has led federal offices. He has led diplomatic teams in international talks. He even has rebel experience. He is multilingual and great communicator. He is loyal, connected to his roots and highly popular among his constituency. He is world class politician, never afraid of his opponents. And he’s young and widely read.
[tell me who meets all these qualities and I’ll reconsider]
His big weakness is he’s member/ leader of TPLF. TPLF has been in politics for decades and, like any long time political group, it comes with a baggage. So no matter how good Getachew is in politics, just being from TPLF will limit him from rising up as a politician.
My advise is depart from TPLF and start fresh organization. You have talent and it would be sad for your people not to benefit from it. When your new organization is ready, even TPLF leaders will feel, it’s time to let you rise and support you, instead of fighting you.
Once that happens, all the Getachews of Ethiopia from all corners need to come together and talk common sense. The rest should follow: No war, no poverty and serving the people by delivering education, health care, employment, stable finance and growing economy.
Ethiopia can not afford to lose leaders like you especially at the time when the country is run by third rate politicians with messed up world view.
