Jawar's gradual usurpation of power in ODP
One can't down play the precarious political position Abey has found himself in . The very political Party that he relays on for his political survival has been gradually, sucked in and taken by Jawarian radical Oromos groups and resentful but neutral weyane left over Oroms. Sure there are Oromo leaders who support Abey's national agenda, however; The Abey Supporters are fearful of the radical group lead by Jewar , Tsegay , and Iskale , because using OMN and face book these anti-Ethiopians can mobilize a marching mob in short order. Whenever Abey group take a action that prompts Ethiopian national interest the individuals who support the idea are singled out by Jawar , he posts their names on face book, and he condoms theme ruthlessly,soon after Tsegay and Iskale pile on asking the person head to be chopped off. The mob shouts, threatens and the individual asks forgiveness profusely and coils back in the armpits of these radical , and soon after become tamed poodle. these "sinners " to prove their loyalty to Jawarians radical agenda they make one foolish statement after another that make them look ridiculous -- all that is done just to be under the grace of these radicals . Just as meles used to make his opponents repent their sin, beg for forgiveness, and sign it publically to see them humiliated. In the same way Jewar , Tsegay, and Iskale don't back up from their attack till those targeted publicly humiliate themselves. By doing that they send warning for other Abey supporters what is going to happen if they dear,and those humiliated would be neutralized for the rest of their political life . Jewar has also been able to catch the big fish,Bekele Gerba, from Oromo Federalist congress. Once pumped up ,this naive politician, the person who once claimed to follow the foot print of MLK, has became an outspoken virulent tribalist. These radials also propagate mildly against Abey labeling him as Minilik with Oromo flash. However, they need Abel because he and Lema only have the trust of Ethiopians, including the majority of Oromo Ethiopians. So for Jawarian conspirators know to send their root deep , Abay is a kind of leader they need. The don't rock the boat unnecessarily as long as they gradually entrench themselves in the government. structures. They work with certain members of ODP with wink and nod. For example when Eskender movement started to bloom all the sudden Jawar disappeared from media scene so they can harass Eskende without Jawar's distraction. So with all these Abey is trying to please everybody and ends up disappointing everybody. One he has to make his stand on the national polices of Ethiopia clear , two he need to strengthen the reformers in ODP and put them in right position and support theme so that they can push his agenda without hesitation.
