The lethal myth of Abyssinia: the ‘Ethiopia’ Hold Up

I am glad to present here another illuminating text by the great Oromo intellectual Rundassa Eshete, whose trajectory from Africa to Russia and then to the States is a proof of his identity as Citizen of the World.

Tenes Your article sound good, but that is all it is. A very well written topic infested with hate. What do you think this kind of negativity will breed? For one thing, your divisive comments won’t get you anywhere. The people of Ethiopia have had enough of your kinds. What you stand for does not have any place in today’s Ethiopia. We are a country that is in transformation and changing. Are we completely reformed? No; however, change takes time in a nation as diverse as Ethiopia.

I am not by any means trying to deny the cruelty and atrocious deeds committed by the Imperial leaders. It is true, they were out themselves. Just like today’s leaders from TPLF are.

I encourage you to stop being divisive and work with the children of Ethiopia to rid of the monsters we have created. Your negative feelings and hatred will not get you any where in your or your children’s life time.

I encourage you to be more positive and think about how you can help your nation to be more democratic where all nationalities will live side by side with out fear and repression.
The problem with your ideology is that it will not work for most Ethiopians. Ethiopia is a diverse and nation.		 10/12/2008
MSMegalommatis I understand your point, although I do not accept your language; your can reject something, by using many other English verbs. However!

Yes, I would like very much to dissociate the Tigray people from Meles Zenawi. I would automatically do so, and not in forum and mails but through articles, as soon as you indicate me either groups, political parties, organizations, cultural associations, and/or individuals rejecting / denouncing / criticizing Meles Zenawi on any sort of argumentation they may like.

Would you like to provide me with more detailed info in my mail:

FUCK TRIBELISM I think its a very big problem to associate Tigre people as a whole as Tyrants these are the same minority people who were oppressed murdered and killed by Mengistu HaileMariam's Thugs and Gangsters mainly Amhara & Oromo who were in Tigray and Eritrea killing Tigre Afar Tigrinia Saho Kunama Nara Beja Bilen people of the North. The Derg were a bunch of wicked Communist Luthes full of Amhara & Oromo soldiers killing all the people of the north. DONT ASSOCIATE MELESOVIC ZENAWI WITH THE TIGRIAN PEOPLE AS A WHOLE. U SPEAK OF OROMO AS IF IT IS UNITED INTO 43 MILLION PEOPLE WITH ONE LANGUAGE AND ONE CULTURE NO IT IS DIVIDED AS WELL. 6/5/2007
