Sirotu yetatekut Sirotu Yefetal. That is exactly what has happened to Kinijit Diaspora.

(Aigaforum 12-15-06): -While Andargachew Tsige, the new self appointed or shall we say Elias Kifle appointed leader, is being ridiculed for being “wishy washy” and as an implant in the opposition camp for being related to a high official in the EPRDF leadership, Berhanu Mewa is rumored not to be happy the way things are going. To top it all, EPRP followers have accused both Andargachew and Berhanu to be Woyanee sympathizers. Go figure.

Mean while the Shaleqa group after having been ostracized by zealot followers who chose Elias Kifle of Ethiopian Review over Shaleqa Yoseph is not doing any better. In fact source say the IRS is looking after this group. In America once Uncle Sam (US govt) is interested in you there is no escape rute except to disclose all and every penny collected subject to tax. We can only guess the way the vocal Diaspora Kinijit has been running its affairs for the last three years its officers may not have followed the law of the land strictly . Blinded by a make believe story of an election win, they had all along planned to leave the States for Menelik palace.

One thing going well for Shaleqa Yoseph is that most of the AAPO members and old time retired and exiled Ethiopian leaders may be closer to him than the Berhanu Mewa group.

While the IRS is rumored to be looking in to the financial affairs of Kinijit Diaspora, we know for sure it will not be looking in to who should be using the name Kinijt and logo. A smart engineer (no surprise here!) has patented the name and logo of kinijit. The engineer is squarely in the camp of Shaleqa Yoseph thus though Shaleqa has produced a letter signed by Hailu Shawel appointing him to be the leader, it now has the US law on his side too. Poor Elias and Andargachew, you should have studied engineering!

It is clear the vocal Diaspora is on its last breathe waiting for the Somali Jihadist to help him/her to breathe the last fresh air. Most of the vocal Diaspora has sided with the Jihadist and Shaibia in the current stand off between Ethiopia and UIC hoping that will weaken EPRDF.

Experts believe Ethiopia is determined not to let Shaibia fight until the last Somali is left standing. Experts also expect the UIC to engage the Ethiopian forces soon. Ethiopia is determined to flush Shaibia and extreme UIC members from Somalia once war breaks. Our source tells us also, if war starts with UIC, there is no guarantee it won’t start with Shaibia in the north . The defeat of UIC and Shaibia, number one supporter of the vocal Diaspora, would certainly hasten the demise of the vocal Diaspora as we know it. We cannot wait to see that day.
