Open Letter- to whom it may concern in the Ethiopian government

The entire world have witnessed the massacred of Ethiopian and Chinese citizens on the Ogaden oil research field by self claimed ONLF terrorist group which in itself is a mindless extension of other anti Ethiopia sectors. I as an Ethiopian from the Diaspora, with no hesitation bitterly condemned such brutal mindless act taken by this terrorist group calling ONLF. Any Ethiopian, who loved his/her country should condemned any distraction of public or governmental installation by any one who claim fighting for the people NO matter the cause and the grievances one claims, such barbaric and uncivilized way of claiming democratic rights by blowing, destroying or blocking railroads, sea and aviation ports must be opposed and must be punishable by local and international law.
Hence, therefore, I am appealing anyone in the Ethiopian government body who is concerned and shocked as I am by such horrendous act, to take legal action against those who were involved or advise for more terrorist acts. Recently, I have seen Shieck Alamoudi’s legal request of letter to be taken against the self-proclaimed editor Ethiopian Review Mr. Elias Kifle. Still the fellow seems to continue to advice the terrorist group ONLF to cut off roads from Ethiopia to Djibouti and Kenya. Here is the sample posted in his website encouraging the ONLF terrorist in a clear and command statement.
“Try to also cut off the roads from Ethiopia to Djibouti and Kenya so that the Woyanne terrorist regime cannot continue to import weapons from North Korea”
Regardless of such, I have not seen yet any legal letter or action taken by the government of Ethiopia. Why? When such individuals continue arrogantly advice to the terrorists to do such crime against the entire nation of Ethiopia, he is advising the entire 70,000,000 population to be cut off from outside world. With such irresponsible adventure and advice the nation will remain with no exports or imports and the nation will be starved and lifeless. Is there any other worse enemy who could wish and advice to the enemy to cut off the life of the entire nation,– knowing there is no other means of importing/exporting due to the illegal act and personal decision made to landlocked Ethiopia by Mr. Meles Zenwai 15 years a go? Ethiopia is struggling to communicate with outside world without its own seaports running from port to port with no one accountable for such illegal blockage.
No matter how one hated TPLF/EPRDF government, is there any one in his/her normal mind to advice the chocking of the entire entire nation unless the adviser is an enemy of the Ethiopian people? I hope Mr. Meles’s government follow this issue in the international court of law to bring such enemies to face justice. Ethiopia will prevail!
