Release of Birtukan & my feelings

On this particular day 9/10/10, i read the reports from different web sites , i got the information from ethiomedia, ethioforum , abugida and so on. When i read tht Birtukan had been released from the prison I was very happy , i felt very good about that.
Any way the conditions that lead her to be released were so painful, i was not expecting from her to ask a pardon from the tyrant meles, i was expecting, she would stood firm . She had not committed any crime , so why she should ask for a pardon? at the same time five youngesters had given their life in order to protect Birtukan , so i was thinking she would stood firm
Especially when i was watching her on the weyane TV , It was a shock to me, it was a kind of tv parade, how this guys are cruel and fascist? i know that there was a psychological pressure, for sure there might be a torture , physical abuse , i can imagine that.
Meles and his regime had released birtukan with out their will, they had been forced by the international community , weyanes knew that if they do not release her she would have been nominated for the 'sakarov prize' a prize for human right activists which gives her the highest recognition, due to all these pressures weyane must release her , but they were looking for a kind of face saving ( yemaryam menged in amharic) .
Meles and co. had been kneeled down, still they had been dwarfed by birtukan.Her spirit is more than any thing , the fight was between evil and good .
All the way the pressures which had been exercised by the so called shimagles were too much, i can feel that , those, the so called elders were serving weyane like a cadre , they were an instrument to the fascist dictator zenawi.
I am asking my self , do i have a morale ground to criticize birtukan , ofcourse not , but any way still i appereciate her, when i am comparing my self with her, i use to ask my self , what is my contribution to mother land? what did i have done at this crucial time, still i feel a guilty conscious .
At this day i had visited a video at the web site , in the video , it has been shown how the youngsters had recieved her, they had surrounded her, how they had given her a respect . They have prepared a heroic welcome. They were singing Ethiopian patriotic song. The amazing thing was their creativity, as a matter of fact weyane had not permitted the plain Ethiopin green yellow red flag, the only flag which would be flied in the city should be the weyane's flag with star ,but the youngsters by passed this law , they had prepared and hanged separately green, yellow , red coloured small fabrics , it was perfect .
At last not least when i was hearing the songs, the song was in amharic '' beabatochachin dem tekeberesh yenorshew enat ethiopia yedeferesh yiwedem' i was remembering ethiopia , i was crying , these youngsters are heroes, they are honest , they love their mother land!!!
Ethiopia will prevail!!!!

Systematic genocide against Amharas , a letter to kesto

I use to participate in the pal discussions. i mostly use to listen what ever tha pal participants they talk, interested in politics , as any Ethiopian , i want to be part of those discussions, actually i am passive , i have never had taken the mic. but i use to write ,by writing my ideas at the lobbying board i use to participate . it is my way of participation

it was before yesterday , a participant which is called kesto, spoke about the systematic genocide of the amharas in the present weyane's ethiopia. He was explaining that there is a project which had been projected by the weyanes to curb the growth rate of the amharas, he further explained that in the socalled weyanes' amhara region (Shewa, Gojam , Gonder, wello), there was a vaccination which had been given to women from that region , a vaccin against birt which is birth control (in amharic tsins mamken)

kesto , he was talking about the amharas , how they have been deprived in this system. He explained that we need to be a voice for the voice less .

For me , i am not comfortable to see things with a glass of ethnic tribal lines , i consider ethiopia as one nation, indivisible, intertwinned to each other. I wrote and i responded to the guy , by writing that, why we focus on the tribes , tplf does not care for any body , they care only for their power, do u think these guys care for the tigryans, ofcourse not , they want the ethnic backed thinkings in order to keep us divided , at the end which keeps them in power.

But we Ethiopians are beyond that , Ethiopians are the smartest nation, no body could divide us, we are far from that.

At the end of the day , i had decided to look or read further to make my own investigation , it is a broad light truth that this government has shown and has campaigned in destroying Amharas , Tplf has been preaching a hate mongor campaign against amharas starting from their birth as an organization, taking this in to my account i started to read the two census , 1994, 2007 .

Accordingly in the 2007 census the number of amharas were diminishing comparing to the other tribes, It was scary, how could it be , the population growth was 1.7% where as in the others it was more than 2.4%, why only in amhara region? is there a systematic genocide which had been imposed there? i further googled and in the channel called you tube , i got some valuable information, a video which had been posted by nitro ethiopian.

I watched that video , the video was compiled with interviews between a journalist and weizero samya of weyanes' census official . She was not able why more than 2 .4 million amharas have been withered away . She could not explain that , any way she defended that the census was correct , she said that they have tried to investigate all angels , whether the amharas from rural areas have been immigrated to the cities or other regions, she sayd still not,but she could not classify the reason , actually it is sad !

The same official has been answering for questions in the weyane's parliament , she was responding in the same way, an intersting thing the so called , the representatives from that region specially addisu legesse has not shown any emotion, only one guy has asked a serious question , he has expressed his doubt.

In the video , in the election campaign one guy was showing about the child mortality reprot , which shows that in amhara region , it was the highest one, at the end he has asked that there is something wrong , which lead to the lowest population growth comparing to the other tribes in the other region.

It is scary , It could be a silent genocide against amharas , kesto might be correct !!!

PR and TAMAGN

I use to visit ethiomedia , it is an ethiopian web site. Most of the time they use to post about ethiopia and related issues . The web site is much interested in political articles, i admire their courage , at times i use to ask my self , from where these guys would get the time, how could they coop up with their personal life ? any way i did not get the answer but i appereciate them for briefing us about Ethiopia and the current situation back in home.
In this article i want to concentrate on two videos which had been transmitted by the Ethio media web site , those videos had been produced , i think one is with meysaw entertainment group or some thing like that , for sure , i remember it has been prepared to remember( for a memorial purpose) the well- known , popular Ethiopian artist Tilahun gessesse , who has passed away recently a year a go.
All the way the production had been coordinated very professionally, the imitators who had imitated tilahun, they had done thier job , specially two guys , they are exactly like tilahun, if i had not known about them or if i was hearing their voice in cassette , ofcourse i would have thought that their voice was tilahun's voice.
As usual Tamagn had shown his professional capacty to the audince , i like the way he presented hims self, his presentaition skill is marvelous, at that particular time, almost he was able to show the work of Tilahun.
Tamagn had given a brief analysis about every thing concerning Tilahun , but there was something which i was not comfortable with it , tamagn had said that when tilahun plays in oromgna , we all became an oromo. Here tamagn wants to show that how tilahun is capable , but this explanation gives an impression as if we need to be an oromo to appereciate that music,
As an Ethiopian we do not need to be an oromo to appereciate that specific music, as a matter of fact by being an ethiopian , all ethiopian languages are equally belongs to all of us .
Tamagn was giving a critics on the weyanes' president girma's divisive speech , he proved that the speech was a complete lie, '' prseident has said that in previous regimes of ethiopia had not been allowed to sing in oromigna'' , Tamagn had proved wrong. I like that !!!
But tamagn at the same time he was impressed about weyane because of that they had allowed a state funereal cermony to tilahun. Tamagn had appereciated that. But here there is one thing which is not clear for Tamagn , this was what exactly weyane wants, The weyanes were looking for a personal relation ship work , here , their PR officer has worked very professionally ,
In PR there is a word which is called A word of mouth , when any body it could be a company or a state , an individual sponsors a big event , when the events are associated with big names and heroes , the main thing is to create an awareness, good will or it could be any thing but in this case it is to change a negative attitude of the people of Ethiopia towards them,This is a specific PR approach . The aim of sponosring or allowing a state funereal is exactly that one. When any body talks about tilahun's funereal , every body will talk about the weyane's will , In this case consciousily or not even Tamagn had spoken that , but the truth is ,weyane's intention is not that they love the work of tilahun, they appereciate tilahun, no ,they do not like tilahun, they hate more than any body , as we know weyane hates any body Ethiopian , let alone Tilahun the beloved Ethiopian singer who had played or sung for Mother ethiopia through out his entire life.
The second video which i had been watched was A G7 an ethiopian opposition meeting in los angeles . Tamagn had delivered a speech , he has delivered a very interesting speech . specially what the weyanes were talking about him, they called him that he is an azmari, he defended his profession in a very proud way ,He told them in a clear language that he is a master of that profession.The other amazing part was , the accusition that they made against him, ' he does not like tigre' , he showed them that he does not have any hatred with any body, he proved that he loved Ethiopia, the other one is he was telling about that they called every body who hates them to be a derge. But he showed that when it is with them , it is ok , even he listed out the names of the officials who had been working in the derge regime but now also they are working for weyanes like Fasil nahom, kassahun ayele, fiseha yimere, ayenew bitwelgn, Girma biru etc. A double standard .
At the end Tamgn had given a brief explanation about the insults that they use to talk, here Tamagn does not necessarily expected to mention those bad words , even if the weyanes talk those stupid words , it uses to dwarf them spritually , but if tamagn speaks that one it does not fit to him, in our culture too, there is a proverb , ''compairing to the guy or a person who had insulted me , the bitter one is the one who told me' ' in amharic ''Kesedebeg yenegereg '' the second proverb is ' 'Abuse a fool once he would abuse himself for ever' '.
Tamagn u need to watch out your word un consciously you would promote weyanes. Which would be a disastour , by the way i am your fan , i like your Ethiopian sprit , i appereciate you 4 ur Ethiopian Patriotic energetic approach, Let God bless you.
Ethiopia will prevail
