I care about my people, that is why I ....

spend my time in sharing my views and trying to fend off the onslaught on them.


I care about my people, its well-being, its progress, its development, its gaining of education and knowledge, its productivity and self-sufficiency. That is the liberation of a people (of any people), raising one's guns and killing each other has nothing with liberation. If you don't have value of life, you can never liberate a person. If you value life, then you can't kill or condone the killing of human being.

As people of any sort we should always have a cause and defending that cause is incumbent on us, under the premise of harmonious and peaceful co-existence of all the stakeholders of the issues of our respective causes.

Today it is not through toting of one's guns that you defend your rights and promote your causes. It is through gaining of knowledge, through making of oneself competitive in the social, political, economic world order. For that the precondition is going to school and learning well enough.

DefendTheTruth:

This is the kind of reporting some of us prefer to hear instead of internal displacements of the hardworking people in the countryside.

There are many that say we care about our people. Some even say my people.

As an educated person yourself, what are the qualitative differences between this report and a similar report you would hear from any of Ethiopia’s countrysides following the 1974 revolution?

In the meantime, what have happened to Ethiopia’s countrysides?

One of the things that have also happened in the meantime is trying to teach fallaciously that Gojjam colonized Wallaga while taking refugee in Hararghe. Wrong?

Aren’t the people of Gojjam and others in Ethiopia also not your people?

I think also that the people of Gojjam are my people (I didn't mention any explicit place name in my post) but in the case of Gojjam they opted to choose Eskinder Nega over me. They implied I am not qualified to speak for them, only Eskinder & co.

DDT,

የቀበሮ ባህታዊ ከበግ ጋር አውሉኝ ይላል ይባላል። ጭራቅ ኦሮሙማ ተመሳስለህ ህዝብ ልትቀረጥፍ እና ልትጨፈልቅ እንጅ አንተ የህዝብ መብት ተቆርቋሪ አይደለህም። ኦሮሙማዎች ለግለሰብ እና ለህዝብ መብት ተቆርቋሪ፤ ለጋራ አገር ልማት አሳቢ ለመሆን ዕድሉ እንካችሁ ተብሎ ተሰጥቷችሁ ነበር። ግን የጎጠኝነት ፥ የባንድነት፤ የተገንጣይነት፤ የአግላይ እና የጨፍላቂነት ታላቅ አደራ የተሰጣችሁ በመሆኑ ይህ የቀበሮነት ባህርያችሁ በየጊዜ በመንጋው ላይ እየገዘፈ ብዙ ህይወት ቀጠፈ፤ ብዙ የአገር ሃብት አጠፋ፤ የትውልድ ውድ ጊዜ ብላሽ አደረገ። አሁንም ግን አይገባችሁ?
You are remorseful of your ugly past on the 11th hour, standing on the cross-road.

አበረ

እየተመለለስክ አትጨቅጭቀኝ፣ አኔ የጎጀምን ሕዝብ የመከርኩት፣ ልጁን ወደ ትምህርት ቤት እንድልክ ነበር፣ ማሸነፍ ከፈለገ። እስክንድር ነጋ መጣ ና በጭራሽ ልጅህን ወደ ትምህርት ቤት አትላክ አለዉ፣ ሕዝቡም የኔን ሳይሆን የእስክንድርን ምክር ሰማ። ደኝነቱን ለሶስተኛ ወገን ትቻለሁ። ይመችህ!
