Thought for Today
"History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats." by Bertie C.Forbes


  Tribute to Swuat(Martyrs)

So long there are elements within us that are hell bent to belittle our people’s struggle over the last few decades to uproot the tyrannical rotten system we think we have a job to do in reminding the people at large the struggle that brought us today’s Ethiopia where Kinijt and EPRDF compete for power was not a cake walk. It was bitter and has consumed many heroes and heroines. Every time we hear Iasu Berhe, a renown artist, tribute to our fallen heroes and heroines we feel obliged to rekindle our spirit to fight head on those elements who are undermining our people. “hidri swuat’na anyni eberen” (we shall not fail our martyrs )

To all our readers who contacted us disturbed and concerned!

All we can tell you now after gathering more information on this is that the AP Story is completely based on what is not written. The Status quo remains intact and no Policy change is in the horizon as far as we can ascertained. Ethiopia still has dialogue as the corner stone to solve the “border” issue.

We shall see if wedi afom, as Meles has postulated, will come back to the talking table or continue look for “jele” elsewhere!

Ethiopia Accepts UN Ruling To Turn Over Town To Eritrea

UNITED NATIONS (AP)--After years of conflict and a tense border dispute, Ethiopia has accepted a U.N. commission's ruling to turn over a disputed town to Eritrea...
Only a fool would think Ethiopia after being subjected to the many unprovoked Shaibia intransigence and continued violation of the Algiers agreement and the lost of many lives to secure our southern border will accept the handing over of Badme and any other Ethiopian land! AP or the UN man is reading what is not written. Accepting the delimitation is not accepting the separation of families and demolition of churches and houses. The border can be demarcated so long it is done to the satisfaction of the two brotherly people. Shaibia has nullified the Algeirs agreement long time ago. What is required now is dialogue to avoid war and unnecessary lose of life. Short of that the UN can wish so, but Ethiopia has bleed too much and the least it will do now is embolden Shaibia to say I told you so!

Short Commentary On New Diaspora Kinijit Reconfiguration
The fog that impaired many people’s vision from not seeing Kinijit for what it is has at last cleared. We could not believe our eye who the jailed kinijit leaders have selected to join their offshore kinijt!...

Aigaforum does not believe it has the necessary information to pass judgment on the merits of Siye’s case but we strongly believe that for what ever reason Siye is held in prison and for what ever reason the judges are missing from their bench, the country and the government are ilserved. After all Siye is not a petty criminal, he has been part of the struggle to uproot the rotten system Hailu Shawel and company are desperately trying to bring back. It is really a travesty of justice the constitution that was brought by the likes of Siye is failing on him but serving Hailu Shawel and company!

Update on Vocal Diaspora

HagerFikir in its commentary said “berele keneqa ayhonuim eqa” How true!

Before the ink that brought, Berhanu Mewa and Shaleqa to agree to talk on the future KIL arrangements dries, Engineer Moges and Girma Bekele a known activist within KNA have questioned the re-marriage of the two groups. Sources say this probably is the end of Eng Moges and Shaleqa Yoseph long time friendship. Moges and Girma think this alliance is cooked and served by Woyane to weakened AEUP and that Berhnau Mewa and Andargachew are Woyane agents.

The Dagger On The Body Of Eritrea(awate)

To use Aboy Sebhat term, "Shebrek elom", the ELF for sure and Wedi Afom and EPLF almost gave up the struggle to lead the Eritrean people to freedom. Today, many argue the above article is a sign yet again a splinter with the ELF is about to betray the opposition camp. This is a clear sign one of the EDA member organization is about to kneel down (shebrek kebel eyu). The word is this article is a prelude to join EPLF in Asmara!
Justice Delayed for CUD?

A Disappointing Outcome
