Yes, he is wright. For us Ethiopians, we will be better of with Eritreans than you Agames. In culture, decency, truthfulness, and realism.
You remember once Agames said Egypt and Sudan are closer to Agames than Ethiopians. What goes around comes around. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Eden, the Addis Abeba “dictatorship” you love to hate is certain to be around for a time being —a considerable of time being — It is better to try to live with this “dictatorship.”

Sam - why put the quotations around the word?

[Sam Ebalalehu]

Because there is no dictatorship, except in your mind, and those — you know.

Edu, if I were you I would heed Sam's advice. You better shake your money maker to the right person. Dictator Abiy is here to stay. Sell your arrse to him. Selling your arrse to us is not a good option for you.

[Sam Ebalalehu]

Eden , let me be clear. If I have reservation in Abiy’s government, it is not that his administration is dictatorial. In fact, it is the opposite. By being lenient, he let the extremists to kill innocent Ethiopians. Yes, every killing might not be avoided. But he could have done better. In the future if his effort to save innocent lives be interrupted dictatorial, let it be. From now on it is not the extremists who will write the narrative, rather, it is the Ethiopian people.

So, in short, you are saying as long as the PM has a world view like your own, dictatorship is acceptable to you?

[Sam Ebalalehu]

Eden, you want to define dictatorship as you wish, not me. No , the Prime Minister has no a world view like me. He believed in tribal politics, and I never did. I am allergic to it. But I believe Abiy is coming towards my way of understanding politics ; I like that. Yes, Eden some agree with you. The TPLF old guys agree Abiy is a dictator, if not a terrorist. Ayatollah from prison speaks your language. He argues he was imprisoned because of a living dictatorship. So does Bekele. And a few others. The great majority of Ethiopians, Eden, yours truly included among them, see in Abiy a leader who is genuine, determined, and optimistic. And we like him for those qualities of his.
