One thing remained constant:
Emperor Menelik loved Ethiopia and ruled over Ethiopia, he was the father of modern Ethiopia.
Then come Emperor Haile Selassie and he too loved Ethiopia and did everything in his power to defend Ethiopia.
Then come Mengistu Hailemariam and he too loved Ethiopia and tried everything to defend Ethiopia, he can be called any name but he never compromised on Ethiopia.
Then came Meles Zenawi as member of the Dedebit boys and installed his rule over Ethiopia and never loved Ethiopia, he and co. referred to the country under their own rule ይህች ኢትዮጵያ የምትባል አገር to the end, and Getachew Reda is part of that. If he (Getachew) loved Ethiopia, then he should have instinctively replied to the allegation Making Ethiopia Great Again (MEGA), which the Aljazeera journalist accused of PM Abiy Ahmed to promote, saying what is wrong with trying to make one's nation great. He instead chose to distance himself from the idea and clearly said he doesn't subscribe to the idea. He admitted that he is not a patriot of a country he led at the very top power echelon.
Now Abiy Ahmed is in charge and he said from the very first day he is committed to Ethiopia and what she stands for. That very feature makes him at odd with Getachew Reda and what he stands for.
Woyane is still anti-Ethiopia.
