I think Halafi Mengedi is not that much a stupid to have assumed or wished to order (advice) the peoples of those ethnic groups he mentioned in his post to do what he suggested or ordered them to do.
He knows what he knows and this is the time to reveal what he knew and there are others who also know what Halafi Mengedi and his cohorts know.
Don't assume that he is such an imbecile, now I know and people who know what he knows are coming out to tell it.
BTW., Why on earth would somebody make to retire a highly qualified high ranking personal from his career while the person is so energetic and highly qualified and experienced at so early in life or age?
To raise an accomplished military General of 3 stars, Lieutenant General, costs dire resources, the skill he acquired is highly needed and why on earth do you send him home while he is badly needed??
Is Ethiopia a country which really don't need many more of Lieutenant Generals than she have got right now? If she doesn't need, then why promote them in the first place, I think it costs precious resources of the country that it can hardly afford.
