No More Babysitting the so called "Loyal" Opposition

2005 has shown us how an opposition, drank by unexpected election gain, can go high wire and deface the process and destroy itself. It has also shown us how a serious opposition can make sea change to the process if it is determined to use the democratic space. One could not help but ponder on Kojo Namdi’s (of NPR) question of what could have happened if the opposition has taken up its seat. Crooks and short sellers don’t want us to think of that scenario, in humanly possible way, for they came, they gambled, they cut their loss and moved on leaving the citizen to clean the mess they created. They may have shaken our hope of having mature multi-party system in Ethiopia but not to the extent we are going to settle for the retarded opposition of Beyene’s UEDF. The democratic space deserves better, EPRDF deserves better and the people deserve better.....

“Cold Election” - Reporter

Comment: EPRDF has to play by the rules but it does not have the obligation to give a hand to the opposition. EPRDF says it is playing by the rules and the opposition cries foul. Beside covering the he said she said allegation and denial below is Reporters track record regarding the election.

Number of reports on verifying allegation of repression - 0
Number of reports on verifying allegation of killings - 0
Number of reports on verifying allegation of intimidation - 0
Number of reports on verifying allegation of beating - 0

What hinders Reporter from covering the process proactively? The reporter has not even done followup of EUDP-Medhins documented alleagations. If the press has taken its responsibility covering the reality and contributing constructive input then the irresponsible opposition would not have been able to pull tired tactic every election cycle to keep the process stunted.
