Truly we have reached a new millennium! A new millennium where the likes of Elias Kifle can openly taunt a once upon a one time giant man of the TPLF! Seye may have entered his twilight zone in his political carrier once he left TPLF but to insinuate that he begs clemency and forgiveness from the like of Elias and Berhnau Nega is beyond me. I was speechless for a while when I read <s>Ethiopia</s>Eritrean review commentary on him. But then I thought what is so different about Seye if Gebru Asrat can say sorry in the middle of Meskel square? Why not Seye from Abraham Lincoln Monument tin Washington DC? I am now afraid Seye may say so, God forbid!

Reading the commentary at Aiga in this regard I feared that Seye may try to please the extremist in Diaspora and I thought I should say something. This is a call for Seye to remain strong and sane. The extremist in Diaspora are upon to no good. Dr Berhnau though he may have bought more time since Asimba days he is the same person you fought in Nebelet way back way. I understand you have grievances against the current regime but by no means will you side with these people until they show remorse and acknowledge thousands of people gave their life for them to exercise democracy. One can not be counted as legitimate so long they remain in bed with the ONLF, OLF and UIC. Your history is not yours alone and I beg you not to tarnish it by cajoling those who said “tigere wede mekelle eqa wede kebel”! [Zeru Hagos 01/02/08]

--Zeru Hagos

I believe AIGA has been biased and unfair to Seye and the dissenters beginning from the time of the split. Do you have any proof that indicates Seye has a plan to join or is at present working together with opportunists such as Berhanu Nega and Shaebiya sponsored enemies of our people (e.g. Elias Kifle)? It is a highly unlikely scenario. Shame on you if you are defaming the good names of Seye and his comrades without any evidence.

--Adwa

As I know the number one Tigrayean enemy ex-CUD (Dr. berhanu Nega , etc…) are trying their best to use Seye Abraha, and other ex-TPLF like a plastic condoms to murder the people of Tigray like what they used to say in the Derge time “ meretan engi hizeban ayasfelgunm” means we just need the land not the people. I don’t think Seye will join this terrorist group.

Editor, Aiga:
Shame on you as usual dragging the good name of most of Ethiopians in the mud. When are you stopping you web of lies, hatered and covering up criminals.

Do you notice that our neighbor Kenya has recently contracted the contagious vote rigging disease from your criminal masters in Addis, which is the leading cause of democracy killer in Africa. Do you remember what you were preaching and and even in your text what you are preaching as we speak? Shame on you!!!! Racist!!!! Your masters, criminal gangs who call themselves a government will be brought to justice sooner or later, including. By the day you are piling up recods for history and justice upon your masters and your self.

At last, Seye or Meles or Gebru and others all are world class criminal gangs who have committed crimes on humanity and against our country Ethiopia and should be accountable.

Lonf live Ethiopia and the unity of our people!!!

Down with the criminals and dividers.

Seye learned in the hard way. He is good for nothing and a criminal should be held accountable!!!!!

I respect his differences with the current government. However, I don't see anything aligning himself with these murderers of our people for about a century. He is the true son of the people and I'm optimistic that he won't betray his fallen commrades on the mountains of Tigray. People such as Elias Kifle, Dr. Birhanu Nega and the EPRP and Derg left overs are the ones who murdered his father and brothers.
--Tigraway

We all have been sick and tired of his mistreatment. Aiga forum, usually blamed for siding with Government had openly oppose siyes ill treatment. alot of people who support Melese had difered when it comes to Siye. what is amazing on the contrary is that Siye hold a private meeting with about 50 people, for his dismay. 101 he started with a disgraceful act, he called for unity but he used a divisive mechanism what is even worest than that is that, He showed up to the TDVA deligates meeting not to share his joy, for that matter disagree with them in a civilized and intellectual manner but to show off his inmportance at the cost of disrespeting those who are disabled under his leadership. after all can we call this a leader? his wife is more matured poletically and over all comprehension than him, just listen to her interview. She out ranked him at a far distance.

We all should work together for the betterment of our country, Ethiopia.

PM Meles should be able to work with people like Berhanu which could also have a positive impact for the nation.

We should avoid ethnic politics because it creates mistrust among people, I am not sure why PM doesn't change this. We all know that Ethiopian don't like this because its potential consequences.

Together we can make our country great.

It is time to think this way and to bring people together, otherwise we can easily fail.

siye has already lost my respect after trying to beg his way into elias kifle and shabia branch CUDergs
--ethiogal

Dear Zeru you got to have solid evidence to defame someone like you are telling us now that SYE is joining Dr. brrahun(br-ahun) and Elias kifle.If you are exercising pure speculation or trying to pre-empty his plan that would not good look the great zeru hagos. Give it to time so that yu would not be proven wrong.

Siye Abraha is smart enough to know what is best for him at this point in his life. He has 30+ years experience defending his country first against the Communist Derg Regime that killed his brother and uncle and then as a war-time general during the Border War of 1998-2000. He is an unwavering and uncompromising man when it comes to the safety and sovereignity of his beloved country Ethiopia. Aligning with CUD would be aligning with the dictatorship government of the pathetic nation North of Ethiopia. Siye Abraha will never do that.

As far as his meetings throughout the U.S. the past few weeks, they have been poorly publicized so I do not think Mr. Siye Abraha is out for attention or publicity. I think he wants to reach out to his supporters who showed love and concern for him over the past few years. My Siye Abraha is a true Ethiopian hero. E.P.R.D.F. is a part of his life which will never go away. He became a man when he joined the struggle as a college student in the 70's. He met his wife in the struggle and his kids were literally born in the struggle. This man has fought for Ethiopia for almost all of his life and he will not do anything to tarnish his legacy as a true Ethiopian hero.

For how long was a man supposed to be insane in 24 hours? AIGA, I think you remained insane for too long. Please shut the blog!

Aiga website editor ,please do not write a shallow comment on ex-TPLF leaders, these persons deserve the interest of the ethiopians ,how do you say Aregawi is alone, If Aregawiis alone why the Meles group does`nt allow him to enter to ethiopia to participate in the coming election to be held in Adwa werda with meles , if your boss allowed this we will see at that time Aregawi is alone ,otherwise how do we know that ,Aregawi is alone!

Dear Aiga Editor:
1.) Please give credit when it is due. Siye a person of principles. If he was for fame and personal comfort, the easiest thing for him to achieve this would have been to team up with PM Meles.

2.) It is a public secret that you have vested interest in the current system. I do not want to go to the details. But, do not make it too obvious.

The way you attack victims of the EPRDF is disgusting.

I do believe that Ato Seye if he finds it necessary to say sorry, more of out of conviction, is a good thing. Regardless of anyone's propoganda, Ato Seye and Co (TPLF and EPRDF) have committed many gigantic blunders. No amount of cover up can atone it.

Dear AIGA,

I always have respect for your Forum. Please, try not to disappoint your supporter by posting things without any credable evidence.

To all of us from Tigray, Seye will always be our TPLF founder. Even if we suspect that he is joining anti-tigray group, we still have an obligation to respect him for what he did. As Tigrians we can disagree about politics but we should be wise enough not to cross the line to disrespect any of the TPLF founders or fighters.

I pray that Seye will not join CUD but even if he did, it will be shame to his own history.
I have lost two of my TPLF brothers and I will be very disappointed by him or anyone who joins CUD with their current mentality, but I will try my best to disagree with respect.

Please AIGA, try your best not to drag his name with this evil deed if you have no evidence. We have an obligation to defend him from shiabia supporter Elias Kifle. We should wait and see for the evidence to come through. Let's separate ourselves from Elias Kifle.

To the others who hate Tigray people, our struggle will continue against you. TPLF and EPRDF never divided Ethiopia into ethinic hatred it has been there for centuries. It was just suppressed by powerful evils like Mengistu. It is obvious now that we are being treated and talked about as sub-ethiopian while in reality there is no Ethiopia without Tigray people.

Peace to Ethiopia.

Elias, we know you very well. You covered your face with Eriterian shade and wants to play the game of you creator Issayas- the 100 years assignment; which most of the Eriterians dreams to dissmantled that great nation-Ethiopia. By the the way how many of you are known that Elias is an eriterian by blood and how many of us are realizing thoes with Eriterian blood played thier game against our sovernity? Ethiopians, let us see all the activitive of thoes evile elements of Shabia. Elias is an Eriterian man with the assignment of Epllf to disintegrate our unity. Let us unite who ever is saying what ever.

Hmmmm??? This time I am lost. Let me see, First Lidetu, and then Beyene and Merara, after that I don't remember how things got out of control. ahaaaaaaaaaa!!! I think it was Berhanu, who also brought Bertukan (who would not be here if it wasn't for Seye’s story).
Anyways, who owns CUD now? Is Ayele Chamiso or Temesgen Zewde?
Now, let me see, the outside support is good because you collect their money with out being responsive to their needs.
In Ethiopia, if people give you their hard earned money (specially the poor), it means big responsibility, like participating in the Parliament.
Finally, Seye Abraha is here too and I don’t know whom he is talking to but I know it is not I.
Hmmmmmmmm??????? I know we have major issues here but we need to figure out the big brain causing us to fail time and time again because Ethiopia is moving forward without us? Is it the CIA, Esayas, Egypt, Ana, China, or maybe EPRDF?

I was surprised to see the advertisment of Seye Abraha's call for a meeting in washington on the anti TPLF websites with all his credintials. Those credntials are only for public consumption and later to ridcule him. I am positive Seye is a wise man and he will fall to the traps of these anti Tigrean websites and personalities. He must have a grudge against Melles and the present system but not against TPLF. Seye should be careful not to forget the commitment he and his alikes made thirty and odd years ago for the well being of Ethiopian people by sacrificing over 60 thousand young,old,women and men Tigreans.
Although in the past we have seen a political sellout like Gebru Asrat I doubt seye will repeat it. I believe Gebru has realized that he made a tactical error by siding with CUD and came up with a new Tigrean based political party. Actualy he should be encouraged not discourage because Tigray needs a good opposition political party with a clear mandate.
Alamaw Amare.

I don't think the heroic Seye Abraha will fall into the curpit of Shaibia and its mouthpiece so called CURD or any other useless so called Diaspora politicians. Seye was Tigrian and Ethiopian hero and I am sure he will remain hero. His political difference with Meles will not make him deny the purpose and cause he fought for. If Shaibia and its curpits will divide Ethiopian heros and make them the turttle of their agenda, they miss it. The splint group of the TPLF had separated themselves from the organization due to their political differences. That is their right to voice their differences. However, they do not have the right to be instrumental to sworn enemies of Ethiopia or any other distructive force.

My advice to Seye is that he should remain neutral stay away from anti-Ethiopian forces. He should not tint his heroic record with useless and anti-Ethiopian acts.
Long live the Ethiopian Heros!!!!!

Aiga dummies,
like it or not Siye, Berhanu and Meles will bring a bright future for Ethiopia :) I mean Meles's biggest role would be to resign early so Behanu and Siye can work for a bright future
--gurew

Siye is hero and wise and he knows how to play the political game in ethiopia, at the moment he has earned amble experince from his life and he is not political animal. He is not the only persone to blame for the political mistake happend in the past, every party and political leaders share thier mistake. Atleast Siye has contribution in the struggle against the military regime. To discuss with oppostions is civility not betrayed , betrayed is to stand against the national interest of the ethiopia.
--Elias

My prediction on SIYE's Position,

I don't have the slightest doubt that a hero and matured figure such as SIYE will align himself towards a confused and turbulant political group such as KINIJIT or EX-KINIJIT what so ever. Fortunately, he has the benefit of a late comer that he is there at the moment when facts are self-revealing as far as the so called KINIJIT bizzaire politics is concerned. Moreover, there is now enough lesson to learn what it takes to play with such catastrophic contagion that left GEBRU ASRAT and AREGAWI BERHE a dreadful political fatigue. After all, as far as I am concerned, SIYE is a principled fighter who gave his life and his family's life for an agenda that is polar opposite to Berhanu's and co.

This is only my guess. If things go otherwise, then the name SIYE would disspaite from minds of his supporters including my self. Nothing more nothing less.

Dear Aiga,
I have been a regular reader and supportive of many of your views so far. This time allow me to disagree with you. Seye, is the Hero of Tigrians and of Ethiopia at large. Seye and his family have been hurt twice; Once cruely by derg and the most hurtful is betrayed by his own "commerades", your bosses. I completely disagree withe the Hate diasporas, but this is not a liscence to defame Seye because he stood for what he believed.He deserves very much respect for what he did, Even your bosses have no reason to keep him in prison any longer. It is obvious, he is a threat to Meles and co.

Siye is a mature and he knows what he is doing.
He served TPLF for good 32+ years. He knows now that Meles and SebHATE are taking Ethiopia to the drain. There is nothing wrong if he works with non-Tigrean Ethiopians to save Ethiopia. Your survival depends with the survival of the MELES regime, thus I understand your fearfulness.

Dear Aiga

please stop playing this tribal and ethnic game. Tigreans have no enemies. Even if Tigreans have, they are progressive and forward thinking. They are tested by fires. They are known for being truthful, just, courages and great people. Tigreans are the beacon of peace, center of civilization.

You are trying to black mail Siye Abraha because he does not go your way. Siye is brave, courageous, hero, honest and who knows what to do and who suffered 6 years in prison for liberating Tigreans. He has been put in prison because he refused to accept Meles' blind ideology.

I say to Siye Abraha Hawey, we are not affraid of any one. I want you to do the right thing for the country. We have begged the Honourable Prime Minister Meles Zenawi to correct himself. Thus far he has refused to do so. We do not worship the prime Minister. He is not better than those our brothers and sisters who have given their precious lives for the freedom of Ethiopian people.

What I am saying now? Aiga stop harrassing people like this, honestly this is undemocractic. You talk about democracy but at the same time you try to rob peoples dignity like this. Are you asking Siye to think by you brain? Siye is a brilliant freedom fighter, I do not think he needs your tutorship.

Why your promote antagonism? We are not affraid of Elias Kifle or anyone else? however, for the benefit of our country and our people, we have an obligation to go extra miles.

Siye Has done nothing wrong; he does not have to apologize anyone. Everyone knows the Issue of Ethiopia has been manipulated by the Honourable Prime Minister Meles Zenawi.

If you say Birhanu Nega was EPRP, I do not think EPRP is an Enemy of Ethiopia, many of your fellow brothers and sisters have given thier lives for Ethiopia. They were fighting for freedom and they had better ideology than the ideology your are worshiping like God.

Thus do not incriminate people by their affiliation because it is undemocratic practice.

You better convince advise your brother to buy an ear and start to listen Ethiopian people?

I kindly request Prime Minister to stop rigidity and start to listen to the Ethiopian. That will be the turning point. We are not more obliged to follow him blindly while we have known he has been doing many messes all along. He is human, he has done many mistakes like the rest of human being. He has to come to his senses and to start working with the people. He is the cause of all the schism within and he is the one who has window of opportunities to people who are narrow. He himself has created many enemies and antagonists by his own mistakes.

I have been trying to communicate with many Ethiopians. They are saying he is dynamic,but he has a big problem with the issue of Eritrea and Ethiopia and articles 39, all the Ethiopians whom I contacted this is their grievance. They are saying he dynamic and he has the grey matter but he does not use his talent to the benefit of Ethiopia. He has put the country into a difficult situation. Many of them even ther are ready to forgive him if he change his policy. The problem now is Prime Minister Meles Zenawi does not want to change his old ideas. There is no room for improvement.

You are talking alot about development. We are happy Meles has started to make a difference in the country. We are saying, let what he has started be a jumping board to a higher development.

It has to be ratified by peace and harnomy among all Ethiopians. There is a saying in English," a house with peace and love is better than a house with conflict and discord with full of bread." If there is no harmony among Ethiopians, if there is conflict, what are we are we going to do with the bread only? In the bible also says, " A man cannot live with a bread alone."

Dear Aiga,

I have been follwing your website as an alternative source of information. However, I'm very much disappointed about your biased and unfounded comments about Gebru Asrat& his colleagues. To add insult to the injury, you're working hard to defame and discredit Siye Abraha.

May I ask why? You are intelligent enough to know that you're not promoting the culture of tolerance & democracy. I'm also confident, you understand that such destructive comments will not help the unity of Tigrans. Not only that, your unwarranted comments won't help the EPRDF.
so, Mr. Aiga, I beg your explanation, how dare you equate our hero, Siye with the likes of Elias Kifle? Conciously or not, what Elias is doing to Kinijt, you are doing it to the Tigrean community.

Qebray Mishaqi ab-adi Haqi!

I am wondering why you are quoting Eritrean Review! Can anything good come out from political Eritrea?
I am puzzled, indeed! Are you teaming up with Eritrea and Eritreans against Ethiopian Hero? That was the very reason he was incarcerated in prison. Is it not enough? Is the Eritrean virus still around? We are condemning CUD for doing exactly the same.
Are you back to square one? Hope you are not preaching "Eritreans without Shaabia." Pig is pig! They never liked Alula their liberator, rather they like their master, the Roma! Thus I do not expect Eritreans to praise their humiliator, Seye wedi haras-nebri, the betak mahlika! Jigna wedi Ethiopia!
It was not human wave, rather it was blitzkrieg! History has recorded it. Please do not belittle the works of the Ethiopian heroes that swept the bandas. The victory against the bandas is not only Seye’s, although I understand it is not Meles’ or Sibhat Nega’s, the duo pro-Eritreanists.

I thought Aiga Admin knows much better than anybody else that Sye is not an easy person to be deluded by any political organization for his personal advantage. If that was the case, he would not have spent six years in jail, instead he could have done what two of his friends did six years ago. He could have asked an apology to PM Meles and returned to his power and enjoyed the comfort; but instead he sacrificed himself and his family for the sake of the truth and "Siga Bitsot”. Yes, there are some TPLF leaders in power now who have forgotten the “60,000 young Tigrians perished” but I'm sure Sye is not one of them. Having meeting with CUD leaders that doesn't mean he join them, there is nothing “bad” for Sye as long as he stands firm to his own political believe and put the Ethiopian people before his own interest as he used to do it. I'm sure also Sye knows much better than this and he is not that kind of person to get swayed easily with the dead political organization, CUD.



Unlike others, he has been already tested by fire and proved to be a strong person. Having meeting with the Ethiopian people in Diaspora or CUD leaders or any political organization wouldn't not make him ‘blind eye’’. I thought we should encourage to any individual including Sye to practice their political right through peacefully means instead of arm struggle. If we are trying to kill any poletical party before its birth, then how we will see the very young democracy in Ethiopia developed??? I have no idea what leads you to this malicious conclusions but your comment on this regard is too harsh and with no substance in it. You are just acting like Ethiopian EritreanReview editor. Not Sye but you Aiga editor "Mis'zey mewa'eltika aytiw' al. "

To tell you the truth...If Dr. Berhanu does not make Siye the Hero anything less than Chairman then it will be a travesty.

He can not overshadow him like he did Haliu Shawel. Siye deserves an exective position not a lower position.

If Siye works with CUD he need to be in the HIGHEST POSITION!!!

DR. BERHANU IS NOTHING COMPARED TO OUR HERO SIYE!!!!

When are we coming to our sense?
Why should we discuss people for that matter.

I expect PM Meles will leave some legacy behind him.

He should change his course to bring all great people like Berhanu and Yakob to the table, move away from ethnic politics and build a better Ethiopia. A lot is expeted from PM, otheriwse he will be rememebered just like other leaders such as Mengistu.

We need to love each other and act as one.

Dear Editor,
I don't see any differences between you and the master mouht of Shabia, Elias Kifle,for the reason that you guys are haste to blame and difame politicians which you think are threat for your evil causes. Aiga shame on you to associate the real Ethiopian hero and victim of Meles but remained resolute Siye and the one who said alot and easy to juge Birhanu. At this time we even don't know what in Siyes mind is. To say some thing about him atleast we have to listen his presentation and then we will have a picture of his ideas. Waht I have observed so far about Siye is he is prity tolerant. As I said earlier I have never heared of him saying bad about those people who jailed him for six years based on fabrication. So,please Aiga try to widen your readers. You are trying to force us to read,listen and watch only your camp.Think about tommorrow.

Dear Aiga,

It is unfortunate to see Siye Abraha being demonized and belittled in your website. He is a man who gave his prime time and his family life to the struggle the fruits of which we are all trying to defend. Your prejudgement is extremely unfair and biased. Don't replicate what the CUDites do to their leaders: Yesterday's Mandela today's weyane (Birhanu /Hailu) kind of cheap politics. I believe Siye and co. including Meles have committed irreversible historic mistake due to their arrogance or deliberate calculations in landlocking my great nation, Ethiopia. I have no excuse at all in this respect though I don't require them to be criminalized. Hence, all TPLF leadership are on the same page regarding our access to water while the majority of Ethiopians had opposing stances.

Nevertheless, all other achievements including the demise of the red terror champion Derge emanated from the selfless sacrifices of our people including Siye, Meles, etc. so, I personally and most of my friends have mixed feelings about Siye and all TPLF leadership. They are equally responsible for the freedom we have on one hand and for the water access we LACK today and tomorrow, on the other. You know it well the divide among them was not a corruption issue as presented by the subtle winning group. Neither was it the one claimed by the loosers.

My genuine advise to you is "Do not unfairly defame Siye." Let's wait and see what his actions will soon be. The program of the new party is almost a replica of TPLF's. some of the issues that they want to reverse are without plausible strategies. The chairman and Aregash were unable to explain how. I felt so sad and irritated after I heard them admit their mistakes on the issue of Eritrea after almost two decades. It is hard to believe. The public was massively opposing it two decades ago and the EPRDF leadership gave deaf-ears and blind eyes to the public. Siye, Gebru, Aberash, etc were publicly defending the rights of Eritreans not that of Ethiopians. They are paying the price and hope the others will pay too.

I have no the slightest doubt Siye and friends will be utterly rejected by our people if they align themselves with CUD bandits. It will be fruitful for them to join their energy and experience with other genuine politician at home and present us with another strong opposition for the next election. I believe EPRDF has changed a lot due to the lessons learned from the last election; not from the public complaints in every walk of life.
--Tilahun K.

If what Birtukan said is the honest truth and if Berhanu is honest about his dealing with Gebru Asrat and Siye then they will be put at the head of the party.

Siye should not be hidden in the background while Berhanu and Birtukan lead. Siye is a natural leader, he should be Chairman automatically.

If you are honest about gaining Ethiopian peoples trust CUD, you will appoint our hero as Chairman. OTHERWISE STOP BLABBERING YOUR EMPTY SLOGANS!!!! SIYE FOR CHAIRMAN!!

People why are we biting each other over nonsense. Let's wait and see what we will hear on Saturday.

Some of you are blaming Meles for everything again. Please stop being CUD mouth peice. He also fought for Ethiopian people just like Seye so stop the name calling. Come to your senses. We can disagree with respect and civility.

Aiga, continue the good job but please watch out not to repeat this kind of nonsense. You need prove before posting certain things about our fighters. You could have been a little professional about selecting the words to express your opionion as well until you prove your claim.

Let's not allow Shibia Elias Kifle or CUD saying to be a focus of our discussion. We have alot more important things to discuss.

I still love you Aiga.

Seye will never make deal with CUD tugs. he is a proud tigryan and will remain to be on our side. Stop mud slinging Aiga forum on Seye, whatever different he may have with meles is in his past as he said it clearly. our enemys are people like Berhanu and Elias who are bent on destroyng our victory and trying to bring the old one ethnic domination government back on Ethiopia, but it will never and ever happens. LONG LIVE EPRDF !

seye we will never forgate what u did for our country .that time its wos durk! u were light for us .TPLF[EPRDF] is our life.

I am always proud of all the good things that Seeye has done to us (his people) and this will remain in our hearts till we die. He is our hero. I wish the strong TPLF was not a victim of Addisu Legesse and the likes (shinfila, libom zeyrkeb). Please, Seeye, my dear, don't expect something good from Kinijit (Berhanu and Co.). They were about to kill us all. Eti etifetwo hizbika keyihaznelka hadera. God be with u, ne-ana kibil.

I don't think this dude will make a difference in Ethiopian Politics in general and Tigray in particular for a simple reason that he is driven by revenge politics. This revenge politics will lead him to his own down fall. He needs to see the bigger picture of T.P.L.F. that he fought for. Meles is not Tigray or Tigray is not Meles or T.P.L.F is not Meles or Meles is not T.P.L.F. Dude, being a woyane is not a gift ,and you know what it takes to be one. Remember why and with who you fought for years. If you really need a change then change the way you look the world because it is easier to attain your goal this way. T.P.L.F mean a world for many but you are not a world to many.

There are so many flaws in the question you pose. First, people in the likes if Elias Kifle is by no means a representative of the so-called the opposition in Ethiopian politics. In fact, they have never been, and they will never be. Him, and the blind supporters of the ruling party, which we see through the posts in your website, are one and the same: they simply don`t see eye to eye with logic and reality. To some of us, both are dangerous to our country, because their premise is faith and force, which are both destroyers of a civilized way of life, and would never take the country an inch further. If you really are concerned about Seye`s possible move towards the opposition, then make a case of your own; show to us your clear and objective reason why he should not, instead of falling onto the age old principle of moral assassination by "association". Your claim that CUD had "some design on Tigryans in Addis", is also based on the same logic, and is simply designed with an attempt to drain the support of people of Tigryan dissent in the event that Seye decides to go with the CUD party. Your reference to the thousands of Ethiopians of Tigryan dissent who sacrificed their precious life for the good of the country also ignores (knowingly or unknowingly) the very reason of their sacrifice: theirs was to bring freedom, and lasting prosperity to all those who were denied of these basic rights, which they are entitled as human beings. Can we say with all honesty this is indeed the case in the present day Ethiopia? Remember, we are not having a beauty contest here: rights are not relative, they are absolute necessities. To me your frustration, and all these name calling has only one and only one root: Seye`s "dare" to think out of the "ordinary"; his call for an all Ethiopian town hall meeting, instead of what "we" were conditioned to think. I don`t really know which way Seye would decides to go, but he should be free to choose his own path….

When will Aiga speak for the mouthless poor Ethiopian people. Our government has enough matterial and spritual basis to stand for itself, on top of that you are with a bullet behind every opposition activity. We dont have any opposition party d you think this is the way a country can go forward. Do you think this is the way to fight this undemocratic and highly corupted government.

AIGA, do you really know what you are posting? i doubt! To say on the fact, More Tigrians (they are more conserned) prefer Siye than Meles. From his former stand/history and the unbearable sacrification he has been paying, Whatever he is doing, i believe it is for the betternment of his country! Do have the answer why he spent aroung six years in prison? i hope you will not say, it ws abour corruption! It was becouse of the old man SIBHAT and power lover MELES! i pray for his brother to get the real justice very soon! Long live tegadalay Siye!!!

Seye has been in politics through out his life and it is understandable some like him and some hate him.

For Elias Kifle Seye is not a hero so do Hailu of "Kinijit" and what I do not support is a call by him for Ethiopians to boycott this Saturday gathering in Washingto D.C.

This same guy called for Ethiopians to boycott Hailu's meeting few months ago and his plan to demonistrate in front of the gathering was rejected by many.

Seye's politcal history is TPLF's history and now Seye is rejecting TPLF and is coming with new politcal thinking and that should be supported hundred percent.

Do not forget, if Seye has opportunity to call his constituency back home thousands will come to hear him and that is a fact.

Here in the Diaspora even if he did not get frenzy celebration from his constituency fearing for reprisal home many will show up with othe Ethiopians to bring Seye back where he belongs with the people after he spent six year in jail for punishment for rejecting TPLF.

Dear Aiga even we tigrians we need anoter allternative,we know the memebers (cadres)are
not debeting or discussing about the country thats why peoele in mekelle called them "yes men"so aiga remember 1st the port,then badme in preinciple--and later they accept so call Meles by his Name is name is Legese b/c too many tings
le Eretria ylegsal .

On his meeting on Saturday I would like to see Seye tell us who the hell is in power. This is the darkest part of Ethiopian history. No one can imagine a person who called himself as Ethiopian, works very hard to hurt Ethiopia and its citizens. I can list a number of evidences vividly indicate that Meles has a hidden agenda.

- A leader who stands for a rule of law doesn’t incarcerate someone simply on fake evidences.
- A leader, who is so passionate about his country, doesn’t let his citizens suffer in the hands of Eritrean government.
- A leader, who is democratically elected by the people, doesn’t turn his back for what citizens are demanding for.

Ethiopia in its entire history has never been threatened from its “leader”. Ethiopians patriotically defends their country from invaders. This time we have a new challenge, an enemy who claims himself an Ethiopian.

Dear Aiga!
Why are you so mad on Siye? He just freedom fighter, who with his comrade gave their live for better life in Ethiopa. Shame on you how you treat our heros. You need to thnki out of your village "May Misham". He has right to do any thing, what he thinks it is good for our country. You do nott need to defame him. Give him a chance to express hie opinion. You have to be proud of him.


Wedi Chergid

This public defamation of Seeye Abraha is very low by you Aiga. Seeye has done much for the EPRDF and he is a hero for Ethiopia and especially for Tigray State. I am not Tigrayan -- actually Oromo, but I do believe that Seeye faught for all of us Ethiopians. I support Meles but there is much room for improvement.

Do not boycott his meeting. Boycotting will not solve anything. The key is to attend and learn about his views and objectives and then come with a sound arguement to support or oppose him.

Aiga,

TPLF leaders, all 30 of them, are the reason why we are lanlocked. Aiga and others portray Meles as brilliant leader and those who support Seye seem to portray Seye as an"Ethiopian hero." What the hell is wrong with us Tegaru! How can you call Meles, who ceded our territory in the North, a brilliant leader. What makes Seye a hero? Do we really know the meaning of hero? Seye fought for the secession of Eritrea. Eritreans are the ones who benefitted from the sacrifices of Tigreans and there is nothing, nothing that we gained from TPLF. We lost the Red sea and now we are losing our towns and villages around the Eritrean border. All this is taking place because of the stupidity of TPLF leaders, not because the brilliance or heroism of some individuals like Meles and Seye. All TPLF leaders are responsible for the deaths of our brothers and sisters in the 17 years of war. Our brothers and sisters died defending the forts of Shaebia, they died in vain.

Seye is raising the issue of "sovereignty!" after the fact that Ethiopia became lanlocked because of him and his party. "ጅብ ከሄደ ውሻ ጮኸ" Too late for seye to bark after giving our enemies what the want. Too late for him to talk about sovereignty. Those stupid Tigreans who buy his nonesenes about the territorial integrity of Ethiopia must know that Ethiopia became landlocked in 1967 E.C. right after the birth of TPLF. Ethiopia became landlocked when Seye was a fighter. He fought to facilitate the secession of Eritrea. I am from Tigray and I am tired of all Tigreans who don't seem to think rationally. TPLF leaders deserve no credit at all, infact they should all be arrested and tried for lanlocking Ethiopia and committing the "crime of the Millennium." We need true Ethiopian heroes to lead the country and restore our territorial integrity.

aaaaa

Guys! Siye is more Exprieced than all of you!Siye is not that much foolish,he have seen Aregawi going here & there.he will never disgrace himself like that,he knows Meles very well as Meles is a man who never failed & will never fail.you know some times we are human,we keep a grudge,nevertheless,they are more closer to each other than we think.let's give him sometime to think & at the sametime let us support the development in our country.we are not ready to accomodate another party in tigray.concerning the situation north of our boarder,I think PM.Meles is handling it very well,the way PM Meles is handling is the best way for them to get a lesson & learn how to to live with their neighbors peacefully.Our country is doing ok with all these problems.let's be part of the solution of our country not part of the problem.Ethiopia sofar reached here from zero balance in its account,in sixteen years.let's go forward guys.thank you,

Jib kehede wisha chohe!!!!!For Tigrians,the red see is historical,but has never benefitted Tigriansin the past hundred years.the leadership of Ankober made Tigrians finally to live their respected homes carrying thier hamham made can for drink,metal made/moqlohastin/for cooking bread,loqota for carrying some cereal,one child on the on the shoulder of the husband,another on the back of the wife,another on the right hand of the husband & soon & went for a scrap of food.in the process Tigrian had sustained all kind of dragatory names.for Eritrea not to cede,our people should not be sandwiched.Yes of course the red see is a historical out let of Ethiopia,but it is simply a matter of time until the Eritreans understand that the red sea is really a hitorical out let of all of us.this will be realized under the leadership of PM.Meles Zenawi or any elected leader of EPRDF.It is a wait & see philosophy & it will happen & we willbe amazed.THANK YOU....

To the honorable Mr. Siye Abrha,you, yourself know that what you were playing is politics not kidase & you have seen alot like what happen to you,especially in the bushes of Tigray,it is politics so,you have prevailed courageously,& you know that there are alot of your comreds who passed away,who never get the chance of fredom like yours,I know that every one of us love you to the bottom of our hearts,those kinijits who are writting in this commentary page as they are Tigrians are wanting to use your courage not because of they have some kind of affinity to your nature.what they don't know is,that you are not like them,therefore,what I want to say is whatch them carefully & I know you will.SINCERELY yuors.

Hello Brothers and sisters,

Do not disgrace Alula Aba Nega, Yohannes, Zarayacob, Ezana, Gebremeskel, Queen Sheba,... see the big pictures, do not open doors to Hyenase, they will devour you.

Let us stop focusing on the negatives. Let us unite. Let us put the past behind. Let Meles change the controversial article and the issue of Eritrea. Then we will be fine and do well.

Do not give windows or opportunities for those who hate you and even does not want you to speak your language. Let us be fair to all Ethiopains. Meles is doing great job now. We will forgive him for his past mistakes as long as he he reverses the damage.

A house which is divided against itself cannot stand. Do not put fire in your own hut. It will be a game against yourself. Listen to Abrehet Abdul's music,every one must take that message to his heart. It is a beautiful art and clear message to all of us. All of your who read this, please go to mekalih yared and listen, Abrehet's track, " keyeresasuena" Nihaluwa Hidmona.

Let Meles correct the issue which is dividing people, then it will be done. There are elements who claim they are borne to rule Ethiopia. They do not recongize the right of any Ethiopian except themselves. When you divide you are empowering those who hate you for no reason.

In my humble opinion, be civilized and sit around a table demand what you want in unity. Unity is power and division is weakness.

I have listened to Arena interview, I do not see any change, it is as ambigous as before. Meles has to listen. If Meles does not give us freedom, I can never belief CUD will give us any. Better make dialogue under a fig tree and solve differences than to start fresh again. Let us respect the blood of our brothers, it is a blood shed for our freedom and for the freedom all Ethiopians. I beg you all to think deeply.

Dear Aiga, stop dividing us, stop demonizing your own brothers and sisters. When our people shed their blood they did it all for all of us. They did not die for Aiga website. Try to create an accommodating medium for all of us. Do not be selfish and narrow, Ashatat aytukunu

Yes Geza'ee!youare right! our enemies are reading this,& good job! they read Geza'ee's,yours & the other constructive articles too!go on everbody>>>>>>>>>>>>>>*

It is known secrete that the postermaster of Aigas has a vested interest in EPRDF, especially Meles because as we all know well they have one common thing...narrow regionalist ouitlook...ie..both are from Adwa....The people in Aiga do not care about the people of Tigray/Ethiopia. People have noticed the biased comments that Mr. Hagos always writes. As educated person as Mr. Hagos seems, he can't even accommodate different perspectives which I am sure he takes pride in. As someone has mentioned before, Aiga is no different than Ethioreview. I don't understand why Aiga is threatened when people start to voice their own different ideas. I am sure your ideal boss Prime Minster Meles would be very disapppointed by the unsavvy and childhish games you play. Unlike you who seat on the cofmort zone, Seya and other brothers have paid with their lives and I am sure he is in a much better position to know what "Siga Bitsot" is. So don't shove your narrow, Orwanian view on us. Don't make basless accusations when deep inside you know Seye does not even show any bittereness towards your boss who locked him up for six years of his life even though the judicary system that you admire set him free. Please be a sensible person. Because we don't worship Meles, that does not make us anti-Tigryan/Ethiopian. This time around, Seye has realized that the system he helped build is not sustainalbe and along with his Ethiopian brothers and sisters, he wants to fight for a better Ethiopia. Why you Aiga care is not about future Ethiopia but rather seeing your Boss/Adwan clique rule as long as possible. You uneed to understandn there is a different between having a woyin blood and being a blind supporter of Meles. Siye will always be "Bitsay Siye".
--Shame on Aiga
<mailto:shameonaiga@aigaforum.com>

Dear Aiga,

The main reason you are gettiing backlash is that your are posting things which irritates people , the way you posted, it potrays Siye As a betrayor. You do not seem to respect people if they differ from you. You know, almost all Ethiopians in general and the majority Tigreans in particular do not like Meles for many good reasons. You know that. It appears to me you have accepted Meles way. Why do you expect people to agree with you when you are wrong?

It is good now you have these reactions and you will guage your self.

I appeal to you, stop dividing our people, stop accusing our people. You are dividing our people and weakening yourself. There is still opportunities to correct mistakes done in the past. It is good to learn from the past mistakes and to move on. We cannot afford to trampled on the blood of our people because of our differences.

Again, do not disgrace Ras Alula Aba Nega,Emperor Yohannes, Emperor Zarayacob, Emporer Gebremeskel, Emperor Ezana,.... when you fight among yourselfs for your ideas, you are dishonouring and defiling our heroic ancestors.

Therefore aiga please be humble, humbleness is not weakness, but wisdom. You need to listen to the heart, mind of people. One does not sail in the direction of a raging sea storm? One has to be wise and use the archemides simple machine mechanical advantage method. Be wise, and control what you say. What you say counts alot, watch it.

We are saying we need to move on. Meles is doing amazing; Everyone makes mistakes, he has done mistakes in the past. We are saying those mistakes must be learnt and corrected with great wisdom age and experience. Then we are done. We will move on. The past is past, the time train is gone, there is no point dwelling in the past. We must live today and work for better tomorrow, this is word of Nelson Mandela.

I think, Ato Seye is no one as far as 95% of Ethiopians are concerned he was a member of the TPLF mafia organisation which has inflicted so much damage on Ethiopia and humiliated the whole nation when they made our nation the largest landlocked nation on the planet.
it is quite ironic when ignorant TPLF cadres try to defame the briliant leaders of CUD as shabia collaborators(an out right lie)while it is their thugish ethnocentric liberation front that fought side by side with Shabia to dismantle Ethiopia and impose ethno-apartheid system on us.

No matter what amount of money and time invest to sell us the rotten brand of TPLF in a glossy package, you will never succeed! For us Ethiopians SHABIA and WOYANE are our enemies and will remain as such.

Siye is my Hero- Ethiopian hero, He will live in the heart and mind of all Ethiiopians, for his contribution in fighting the dictatorial rigme of Derge and defeding his country from the invention of the north rough "state"
He is the hero of Mereb milash- he is the true son of Alula, Balcha aba nebso, and a brother of Major General Hailom araya

I cant believe CUD idiots are blaming Siye and TPLF for the war with Eritrea!! Seye is not responsible for Ethiopia being landlocked. This is Mengistu fault and ONLF and OLF will make it worse if they are given the chance.

Isnt Dr.Berhanu the one who is working with Isayas and ONLF?? Isnt Isayas the one who always dreamed of crippling Ethiopia beyond recognition? This did not occur because of TPLF leadership past or present!!

Seye is doing CUD a favor by even being involved with them. STOP BLAMING HIM FOR PAST ISSUES.
You people need to learn to stop attacking each other if you want to put together a viable opposition.

I am really looking forward to Seye cleaning up CUD and turning it into a first-class political party. He will show what Tigrean leadership is capable of..just like Meles has done in Ethiopia. Tigreans are natural leaders.

DEAR AIGA
You are trying to defame Siye.Elias Kifle is trying to defame Siye.
The worst possible sites to get unbiased articles is yours and Eliases'.
You EPRDF APOLOGISTS and Elias SHAEBIA LOYALIST are telling us not to listen to Esseye.
GUESS WHAT!!!WE ARE NOT GOING TO LISTEN TO BOTH OF YOU.
I will go tomorrow with all my friends to listen Esseye in Arlington.That is the least I can do.

Dear Aiga,
even though you try to appear civilized, some times your savagery and Meanness seaps through, Geez, Don't ferget for a second that, Seye is as an Ethiopian as PM Meles and each one of US, he is not a private property of TPLF(TDA) or CUD(KIC+KIL). As an intelligent man capable of analyzing history and present day reality I am sure he can have his own openion about the situation in our country.Why you(Aiga) and Elyas are freaking out about Seye speaking to Ethiopians is beyond me.

Guys, could you please tell me what makes this person so different from our fathers who have died and our relatives who are no where to be found? the one and only difference i see is that he is still alive and well our famly aren't. so why should you listen to him? he suffred so are a lot of people in Ethiopia some of them becouse of him and his sysytem. so Enough is enough not again. if you fall down learn to sit down so you can atleast sit down but never think of stand up becouse you had more than enough chance.

Dear Zeru 'HASSOT'
Please don't judje Seye before the meetting.He did a lot to motherland,Ethiopia than you.You look like 'ZEREGNA TIGRAWAY'.I hope that Siye will not join SHAEBIA bandits like Elias Kfle,Becouse Siye knows a lot and he is wise Ethiopian Heros/TEGADALAY.
Zeru Hagos/hassot/WSHET you tomorow at the meeting

One of the most interesting things Meles said during the split of the TPLF central comittee was" In this platform were are splitted but it is possible to meet in another platform in the future.." Tegaru who had different point of view on the split of TPLF have been united thanks to the hate politics of the bizarre "orange" "Birtukan" revolution of the CUD Dergue remnants. Siye has enough understanding on the nature of chauvinists. I think he will be diplomatic, but will come infact nearer to the "Tegaru Ethiopyawyan" platform. In that case I will understand what Meles meant in his profecy,
