TPLF - Arena - "Kelkelo Silicha Silicha kelkelo"
There is a tigrigna saying "Kindizi'En
kitigi' E ta zekulay Tirihitsa" ..after 7 years and
much commotion the Gebrus have a political
program. It is clear that they have continued their
fight with the Prime Minister, (while he has moved on and
turned himself to be a matured politician) when they try
to limit the term of his Office in their political program.
Other than that it is a package of how to correctly implement
EPRDF'sm. If it was not for the intolerance of both groups,
who found TPLF too small to accommodate both visions, there
is no reason why these issues can not be entertained as
EPRDF.
You are thrown out of the Party - GET OVER
IT . Take a lesson,in mature democracy they don't burn their
own house (i.e form a Party) for every issue or personal
enemity. They form PAC (Political Action Committee).

Thought for Today
We need to give ourselves to act out
our dreams and visions, live our strongest dreams - even
if it takes a lifetime. by Vijali Hamilton
One Day...!
The one man
dictatorial regime in Eritrea is truly an amazing personality.
When he launched his proxy war In Somalia he thought he had
cornered Ethiopia. When that failed he resurrects an obscure
organization by the name of ONLF. This after trying desperately
to engage Ethiopia through the OLF, a much larger organization
both in name sake and capability, for years and with out a
result he can claim for.
Today, the ONLF except for the inhuman terrorist killing of
the Chinese’s oil workers and innocent civilians it has not
netted him [Isaias Afeworki] much. In fact realizing this,
the one man lying machine in Eritrea is engaged in another
futile propaganda. He is now crying foul about
AID destined to the Somali-Ogaden area.
I heard a political satire song in tigrigna
(click
here) asking why the one man regime in Eritrea can not
borrow a heart from Rebi (God) and Meles. How true! I had
never saw a man this cruel to subjugate his own people and
who takes pleasure in creating havoc and mayhem elsewhere.
One day…!.[Zeru Hagos,
