Kinijit is out, MEDREK with washed out disgruntled x-EPRDF leaders is in – but the rituals of election by the anti-government force Masquerading as a legal opposition remain the same. They are no where in the day to day life of the people but when they hold press conference they insult the intelligence of the youth, rave, complain, defame, de-legitimize the government and institutions and ask for negotiation, and forewarn about ballot boxes that will be stollen and gear toward post election tumult to reclaim “entitled victory” in an election for which they are not sure to will join, for which they have no coherent agenda (And idiotic and gibberish analysis - Listen to Seye’s lame and embarrassing Sherif was leader now is leader then explanation)
By now Ethiopia has held three elections and there is system in place that needs to be strengthened.There is NO need for NEGOTIATION with the government to change the rule of the game. They can join the election with the game in place or boycott - good riddance. But their readiness for post election violence should be met with pre-election readiness - by the government, the people. Time will tell if the Benedict Arnold's will fair better than the Hailu Shawil's.

Premier Meles Zenawi's briefing to
questions from international journalist
LONDON, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Nigeria and Ethiopia topped a new index of African potential investor destinations on Wednesday, with the survey organisers saying the continent offers good potential growth even against the global economic crisis
The sound economic policy of the EPRDF govt has been showing results over the last few years. The high investment Index ranking is an affirmation the policy is indeed working. Pity those who are trying to bring her down by scavenging any bad news that will defame the EPRDF govt. How could any sane person chastise the EPRDF govt when it comes to poverty reduction? Something is wrong with some of our bloggers!

Didn’t I tell you? Obama and the EPRDF will coexist
Dibaba Regasa (02/13/09):-
