The case of Siye Abraha whether we like it or not has become a case in point for the slow and at times unjustly slow legal process in Ethiopia. Ethiopia will benefit less if Siye is to languish in prison with out a proper due process. We think it has taken too long to pass the verdict and respectfully remind the government and the judicial body to do the right thing. The right thing to do in this case is to pass the verdict ASAP.[Aigaforum]

A bank account at US bank under Bethelhem Gezaee Donation has been set up and donors can go to any US Bank and make their donations to this account.

Oh! God give this family the strength to overcome this tragedy!


Thought for Today
"One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility." by Eleanor Roosevelt

Aboy Sebhat candid interview with Dimtsi Woyane on the question of Eritrea.

  Part I     Part II   Part III     Part IV(Tigringa)
Although Eritrea has been independent since 1993, Shaibya (Higdef) has run the country as if the independence struggle has not been consummated. This is so because Higdef does not want to address the democratic aspirations of the Eritrean people. The time may be near for Higdef to face the people’s wrath and in light of this Aboy Sebhat's fascinating interview and never heard or read detail account of the relationship of TPLF and EPLF is timely. Eritreans must know their independence is not at stake. What may be at stake is Higdef’s existence. To that end this must listen interview with Aboy Sebhat is a must listen to all Eritreans and peace loving people around. The interview covers how TPLF helped and saved Shaibya from a certain defeat during the struggle days and in the process helped itself as well as the day Isayas Afeworki contemplated to share power with the Derge and also details of the two organizations (TPLF and EPLF) military cooperation.

____________

With PM Meles poised to pass the torch and the one man government of Isayas Afeworki in Eritrea determined to take Eritrea down with him this interview is timely. Aboy Sebhat in part one of the interviews tells us, TPLF has always seen the question of Eritrea as democratic since Eritreans were asking to be free! Unlike the two liberation fronts (ELF and EPLF) who believed the Eritrean issue as one of “natsenet” (independence) only, TPLF believed Eritreans were not simply asking independence but also freedom. Freedom to choose their own government and freedom to be their own masters. To that end Aboy Sebhat said the TPLF more than any other Eritrean organization has fought and helped the Eritrean people’s just cause.

As can be seen today, Eritrea though independent, its people are deprived freedom and are dying every day to flee from independent Eritrea!

Jonathan Dimbleby Big Interviews - Meles Zenawi Dimbleby discusses education with the Ethiopian Prime Minister
[Meles seem certain that he will not seek another term. The question then is who is in line? Would EPRDF yield to public pressure to elect the next prime minister and who among the EPRDF ranks is a likely candidate? Many questions in need of answers. One thing PM Meles should consider seriously before stepping down is the unfinished business with Eritrea.]
