Dear Aiga, I saw a particular advertizment in you page in regard to Ethio-Eritrea relations and wanted to comment on it. Hope you post it.

(San Jose , California)- A who is who from the dysfunctional opposition to EPRDF are coming together in San Jose California. I know and I hope dear readers know also, let alone such a "sebseb" even a well oil machine run by one man that goes by the names Shaibia and Derge did not deter EPRDF from wining both in the battle field and the fight against poverty.This being the fact, what prompt me to scribble this short note is that, hoping against hope that the San Jose Group that is sponsoring this event has all the good intention to bring both Eritreans and Ethiopians together I was telling friends and all about the meeting. Such endeavor would have been great but looking on a secret list of invites to this meeting I see a lot of who is who from the well- to-known diaspora oppositions of the EPRDF. I could not believe Salih Johar is sitting with these losers and Dr Fikre Tollosa who was in Addis not to long ago to promote his movie is trying to have it all. The Armacheho saying is " be hulet kara mebelat" but I shall see where this will take them.

Ethio-Eritrean relation can not be defined and resuscitate by a hodgepodge personalites that have no track record what so ever leading the Ethiopian community in Diaspora. These people are for most from a one person organizations. Yet the good folks of San Jose thinks there is a benefit having them!

I am dumb founded some of the Eritreans who were masquerading behind wedi afom only to be heart broken are repeating another mistake that will surely break their heart in the end. Take my advice- bashing EPRDF and TPLF will not bring a closure to the two sisterly people or country. Aregawi, or Adugna or Mesfin and Tesfatsion are good at bashing not at building and healing!

I have been shy from using words like "aybelna endo"(did not we tell you!)used by many contrubitors to Aiga, but, I will not be shy to use it next time when this "sebseb" like the many before it goes down in bickering. Why you ask? Because, hate and vengeance is not a glue that holds anything together. And this "sebseb" is based on hate and led by Kefagn, EPPF in cooperation with Eritreans who have been heart broken by the turn of events in Badme. Salih Johar what did you see in this "terkem" anyway? I know you better eko brother!

Peace loving people should challenge the organizers to stick to their motto of bringing people to people.If not expose the sinister ploy developing and halt it from going any further. Let it remain unborn.
