Dangerous Utopia dreaming:

Dangerous Utopia dreaming:

Yesterday I read an article written by Kalayu Abraha about Gelawdewos Araia on Aigaforum and since I did not know what the discussion was, I did not think much of it. Today, I saw some people terribly upset about the situation and I was curious to see what was said. Curiosity killed the cat as the saying goes, and I found myself beyond disappointment. Any sane person(s) should have taken into consideration if Ethiopia ever considered Tigrians as its own people before opening their mouth and utter such irresponsible and callous opinion. As far as am concerned we Tigrians did consider ourselves as Ethiopians even though, this backward country did nothing to us except for all the killing, humiliation, and hunger we faced over the years. Whenever draught hits the Tigray region and when the world sang “we are the world…” Ethiopia never came to the aid of Tigrians. On the contrary, it claimed to the word Ethiopia is considered poor because of the “chigaram” Tigre.

Ethiopia is the only country that invites foreign countries to help exterminate people in its own territory (mind you I did not say its own people) because Ethiopia never considered Tigrians its own people. Haile massacred Tigians with the help of British royal air force and now the Amharas using Abiy and isaias forces.

There was two questions/issue that were raised during the interview and would like to pose them as questions. 

One was about RECONCILLIATION. 

Videos From Around The World

Really? Does Gelawdewos think that his opinion is more valued than the European union, the US, and the selected group from African leaders that attempted to convince Abiy to resolve the problem with dialogue? Can he sit down in front of the young women who was raped by 23 soldiers for weeks. The young woman who is unable to walk and unable to control her feces. How would he tell the mother whose children were murdered in front of her and even though she begged to be killed but left to suffer and watch her dead children rotting because she is not allowed to bury them? How could he tell the young women whose leg was amputated without any anesthesia because she was not able to tell where her father was? Would he have words for the young women after being raped she was told that she has been “purified” by Amhara blood because Tigrians have no history. How about the women where the Amharas inserted hot metal because Tigrains should not have to bore a child ever? I could go over 10, 000 times but if my point is not clear by now only a brain transplant can help.

I am sure Gelawdewos is aware of the over 40,000 Tigrians that were deported from Gondar, in which many were killed savagely with stoning and the blockage of Tigray for years so that Tigray will fall.

Another is how could you reconcile with a liar.

Everything they talk about them or Ethiopia is a lie. I am sure that portion is in his realm and knows about it. After the massacre of my people at Mai Kadra they created phantom group called Samre and went on to lie to the world. They lied to the rest of Ethiopia, Tigray was stealing the wealth of Ethiopa, and after telling this story for years the rest of Ethiopia believed it. Even those who were enslaved before they were liberated by the TPLF are killing Tigrians.

The other question was who is responsible for the predicament this savage old and backward Empire called Ethiopia is?

The explanation to see good and evil in everything is not being objective, just Utopia. Maybe he never lived in Tigray, but Tigray has one or two Highschools during Haileselassie. The credit he gave to Haile about education must be to another part of Ethiopia. There was a quota for students from Tigray that can be allowed to join the one university in the country. I am not going back to listen the discussion because I did not remember what credit he gave to Mengistu.

The answer to the question that was asked is the Amhara Elite. Period.

Concluding comment. The Amhara Elites held Ethiopia hostage since the federation was formed because they do not want everyone to get equal rights. They wanted everyone to believe “As human beings have to thank God as their creator, so does all Ethiopians to their creators the Amharas”. What a shame when the moderator of the program equated the innocent civilian’s massacre as a defeat of the TPLF. None of the participant showed any concern.  Any way I am very sad because the world is watching while genocide is being committed to my people. Nevertheless, I am hopeful no matter how bleak it seems, Tigray will come out victorious and the new generation would not accept the old generation’s point of view about these and savage and primitive people.

So, does this really matter? Not even iota!!!!

My people Tigray will prevail.
