       “There is no force in this Earth greater than Love.”

The above phrase is not mine. I was not such an intelligent person to understand the power of love. Truly speaking,I’m still way behind to practice it practically. However, l have the man who understood the power of love passionately and that is my Prime Minster Dr. Abiy Ahmed. It’s so blessed to have such a genuine leader who cares about his people. Ethiopia have had very inspirational andunique men and women who have had not gotten the chance to come to powerin the past. For instance,  my hero Haile Fida , used to founder of the so called Socialist party in Ethiopia after the fall of the Emperor , was truly inspirational in his political views and thoughts as well. The history and internal thoughts of Haile Fida indeed was modern thoughts andtimelessin nature . He was so unique when it comes to his county’s National Security and stability. Ethiopia missed this brilliant politician person untimely. He got murdered by the Derg regime.

 My intention this time is not taking about Haile Fida at all. I just want to mention him literally. I get back to him in near time in detail.I have the leader of the great Nation [Ethiopia] who has the right vision and direction to reconcile andBuild consensus and move forward tofreedom of human right and democracy . The Nation was almost on the verge of crises due to ethnic politics and bad governance to the past twenty seven and plus years.  Prime Minister Dr. ABIY Ahmed has an effective tools to use to lift his Nation from the deep trouble of hate politics and ethnic politics. Hate and ethnic politics are both Viral to the Ethiopian people.To begin with, seething Nation of 100 million plus shall not be immersed in ethnic politics. To fold the National damaged back, Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed is the right person at the right time .The Ethiopian people were in hunger for basicUniversal and conventional human rights. Ethiopia deserves unconditional democracy to various rational reasons. The Nation[Ethiopia] who fought to hold its independence from European aggressionshall be flourished in democracy.Ethiopia seeks committed and valuable political and economic leaders to hold its historic momentum.Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed has the right commitment and ethical value to make Ethiopia great again. I have seen numerous, effective, and consistent valid changes during the Prime Minister 100 days job performance.I thank you the Prime Minister to the good things have been achieved in graceful and careful ways.

Generally speaking, Ethiopian politics was dysfunctional for the past 40 plus years due to lack of political view advancements toward National interests. Politicians have done little to set National unity first than ethnic unity. The wheel and pattern of politics in Ethiopia was in wrong hands. Politics is a system of governing the will of the people.Ethnic unity or ethnic first doesn’t help to assert National unity at all. Instead, it doesrefrain and hinder the big picture of National aspiration. The though and idea of ethnic base politics has been tested in Ethiopia for past 27 plus years but it did not work as designed as due to so many practical irregularities within the idea itself. Ethiopia shall own National political values not ethnic centric political values. Domestic political parties shall embold with National grace not ethnically disgrace. Ethiopian politicians shall get out from hell of ethnic political lines for the sake of the Ethiopian people . Hope all existedethnic base political parties in Ethiopiadisbelief in their ethnic first political philosophy and emerge as competitive National political parties.

Ethiopia is now in political transition under the administration of honorable Prime Minister Dr. AbiyAhmed. The Prime Minister deserves honest credit for what he achieved in short time. This Prime Minister earned the trust of the Ethiopian people for his justifiable, measurable, and effectiveactions seen take place. Politicalprisoners went out of jail confinement, disposed professional university instructors backed to work, exiled politicians started coming back to their homeland, labeled terrorist political organizations pardoned and start enjoying the freedom they wished to,religious fathers solved their obstacles in peaceful manners, Ethiopian in abroad embraced together to make peace and unity plus to engage in political transition in their Country. All these and other related outcomes effectively done never before but under Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed administration. On the other hand, there are still solid impediments ahead to challenge the Prime Minister. The Ethiopia people already have spoken unconditionally seeking for political and economic change. Ethnic conflict,EPRDF internal political reform, sustainable economic growth, unemployment,and institutionalization of democracy and justice will be some of the hot issues sooner or later. The Prime Minister ought to outline his party political road map where the party goes from now and then in order to secure full peace continuity in his Nation. Reform resistors within the Prime Minister party is another scenario. It’s obvious that when there is political reforms and changes, resistance comes from those who have had some or full privileges before reforms and changes arrived. Assassination attempt could be one symptom of resistance for reform. Ethnic, political, and economic conspiracies may appear measurably during political and economic transition period. Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed needs to run faster to institutionalize democratic and justice of the land. There is no enough time to void this time. A National discourse forum for democracy and justice council shall be formed on the consent of all competitive political parties. A National dialogue need to be initiated on tissues such as Ethnic Federalism, territorial conflicts, Constitution, Electoral board, justice, and Nation building. The current political situation of the ruling party is not clear how and where it goes from now then.

The philosophy of add up is shining idea. The art of love binds public discontent. The wisdom of pardon empowers public confidence.However, it’s important have a system that makes public officials accountable and responsible to their actions. The application of pardon or forgivenessmust bepersuaded public interest. There are gross public violence crimes ignited by Ethnic Federalism leaders like the Ethio-Somali region.Regional governors are fully in charge to their constituency.Federal or regional officials whoengage in deliberate public crime act shall own full accountability. During a transition time to wards democracy, all kinds of issue arise from left to right. Change resistors occur to challenge the change occasionally. If the resistance appears illness, it goes well.Nonetheless, change resistance shall not consumed the life of innocent people. The assassination of Engineer Simegnew Bekele showed the World how cruel the Situationwas. Why this Ethiopian Icon person assassinated and by whom?. Change resistors have the right to resist what they think is right in peaceful manner. They have the right to speak out publicly and democratically. Hate politicsand conspiracy take the Nation anywhere. Let the change resistors hear their voices and concernsin democratic way. Any political change or reform must accommodate others the right to resist the change or reform to serve the application ofpolitical and democracy advancements. Ethnic political polarization doesn’t truly work to deal with Ethiopian politics. Political leaders and or activists use Ethnic politics as base politics. However, it’s a factor that hinders to genuine political progress in the land[Ethiopia].Toxic politics bites mindful politicians in Ethiopia.Ethiopia is way behind to thrive politics at National level. The Country is still in Ethnic affiliatepolitics. It takes sometime to change the political aspect of Ethiopia from Ethnic base politics to National pinnacle.

     National leaders shall not assume but shall execute plans and decisions wisely and rationally. Spoken words come from the mind of a leader must not be presided but precisely adequate and accurate. It’s fact that public administrators betray public trust often times. Nevertheless, correction legal preceding need to be in place rather than disperse or award disgracevulnerable nameslike “Hyena” or something else. Extra care need to be taken whenpublic speech is made by those whobecomepublic figures. Toxic words spread as quick as expected when have been spoken by pubic officials than ordinary persons like me. No one is above a law. Therefore, any one who betrayed pubic trust face fair justice for the action has been done.

Last but not least, l have full confidence that Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed leads Ethiopia to the highest respect of human right and democracy. I have seen and encouraged by numerous positive outcomes so far have not seen before in modern Ethiopian history.The Ethiopian people far hope for concrete political and economic changes and reforms as quick as possible.In mean time, hate promoters and law breakers shall be brought to justice. Innocent people are dying almost every day due to tribal politics was seeded for the past 27 plus years. The incident in Somali region [JiJiga{ and Shashemenewere painful and devastated .I’m so disquieted and disgusted. It’s shameful to look such an ill and inhuman to shield innocent Ethiopian. Such barbaric crimesneed to be stopped and law of law must be prevailed for sake of peace and stability. Investigation on the killer[s] Engineer Semegnew Bekele doesn’t be delayed. The Ethiopian people is waiting to witness justice to the killer of Ethiopian hero Engineer Semegnew Bekele. Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed has quite tough and short time to settle cumulative National issues such as National reconciliation and Ethnic and Tribal political crises. Above and beyond, the Prime Minister has to lead the Ethiopian people to the right direction in full capacity and astonishment. Currently, there is relative peace and stability buthardly uncertainits continuity because there are chaos happening every moment somewhere in the Country.Every one of usstands strong to support the positive changes the Prime Minister outlines to implement in short period of time.Every one of us has the best solution if we work together as one for our Country. We should take out the word ‘I' and replace it by the word ‘WE'for our common purpose of National unity, peace, and Nation building.
