Short Commentary On New Diaspora Kinijit Reconfiguration

(Aigaforum June 14,2007)-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! (KIL).

Among the new additions are known Derge officials who were instrumental in prolonging the Mengistu regime. The other revealing aspect in this document is that the Berhanu Mewa group is clearly in danger of loosing the coveted post in KIL with the addition of these people. No one in his right mind would expect Berhnau Nega to instruct his supporters to work with known Derge officials! Expect the new executive to include not more than one KesteDemena people! The balance has been tilted to the Shaleq side (AEUP). The Engineer must have sensed the anger among his staunch followers in the Diaspora!

 The other revealing aspect is the emperor is also naked as they say. Those masquerading as civil activist and journalist in Diaspora have now transformed like their god father in to politicians. Our friend used to tell us “yehech dergit endelgna nech” meaning EPRDF/TPLF is lucky, it always face weak adversaries. Not sure we can agree with him all the times but in this case he may be right. Why would any one think Derge officials are ideal candidates to bring democracy in Ethiopia? Not to mention creating a front with Shaibia?

 We think the best practice to be involved in promoting democracy is civil activism and building democratic institutions that are fair and balance in their approach to keep politicians to be honest. Let us see if these activists will do better in as politicians and in bed with Shaibia through AFD rather than being civil activist and labor union leaders!
