Dear Aiga

Hi Aiga, I am one of your readers, for some reasons I found it interesting, specially some articles contributed by different intellectuals, I found the articles moral balanced and focused on the interest of our country, since I am not politician, I can not analysis from that point view. My simply understanding of politics: the human person is the foundation and purpose of political life. Endowed with a rational nature, the human person is responsible for his own choices and able to pursue projects that give meaning to life at the individual and social level. The human person, a naturally social and political being.

The political community finds its authentic dimension in its reference to people; it is and should in practice be the organic and organizing unity a real people. The term "a people" does not mean a shapeless multitude, an inert mass to be manipulated and exploited, but a group of persons, each of whom, at his proper place and in his own way is able to form its own opinion on public matters and has the freedom to express it own political sentiments and to bring them to bear positively on the common good. A people exists in the fullness of the lives of the men and women by whom it is made up, each of whom is a person aware of his own responsibilities and convictions, those who belong to a political community, although organically united among themselves as a people, maintain an irrepressible autonomy at the level of personal existence and of the goals to be pursued.  

Recently I was reading the article on internet about the experience of one tourist in Ethiopian http://dailycamera.com/blogs/community-blog-journey-through-africa/2007/dec/15/ethio2/  actually I don't agree with him at all the way he presented our beloved country but still it shows there are realities and truth, which Ethiopian government and every Ethiopia needs to examine and looks for the solutions .Ethiopian government must guarantee an ordered and upright community life without usurping the free activity of individuals and groups but disciplining and orienting this freedom, by respecting and defending the independence of the individual and social subjects, for the attainment of the common good. Political authority is an instrument of co ordinations and direction by means of which the many individuals and intermediate bodies must move towards an order in which the relationships, institutions and procedures are put at the service of integral human growth, political authority, in fact, whether in the community as such or in institutions representing the state, must always be exercised within the limits of morality and behalf of the dynamically conceived common good, according to a juridical order enjoying legal status. When such is the case citizens are conscience-bound to obey. 

God Bless Ethiopia
