He also met EPRDF Supporters and individual community members privately.

In an extended interview with the online community Aboy Sebhat pleaded with the Diaspora Ethiopians to be part of the ongoing development effort in Ethiopia. He said people that know their weakness and strength would be equipped to chart a plan for a better tomorrow! He told audiences that we Ethiopians have a clear understanding of our poverty and backwardness. Aboy said EPRDF's strength is that the organization has clear understanding of Ethiopia’s predicament and that the organization has made sure Ethiopians know that too! This is unlike the one-man government in Eritrea who has fed false hope to its own people!

The apprehension of individuals that has caused the death of innocent travelers in the Humera region is an indication that the security forces are working day in and day out tirelessly to safeguard the country and its people. Security forces were effectively and quickly able to break and get information into the workings of terrorist trained individuals who are managed by the Eritrean one man regime. What we do not know is how long this will go on.

The other day we heard about the strength and stamina of Ado Woyenti from the mothers of Almaz and Haileyesus(Dambush). Today we bring you a musical song about the mother of Berhanemeskel, Hayelom’s nephew. In this song Iyassu Berhe beautifully narrates how Berhanemeskel’s mom came by and asked her brother the late General Hayelom where her son was during the early days of TPLF? Miraculously Berhanmeskel’s mom was standing on the same place her son was freshly buried when she asked the late General Hayelom about her martyred son.
The struggle to defeat the Derge regime has consumed many lives. There are many mothers left with out a son and daughter! It may not be possible to tell all the stories of Woyane but it would be a shame on us if the legacy of those martyred does not live forever!
The question to ask then is what are we doing to make sure the revolution is not thwarted by reincarnated Dergist? Are we doing enough to keep the legacy live on?

The courageous men and women of the Ethiopian Security Forces in conjunction with peace loving peoples of Ethiopia have been foiling numerous acts of terrorism on their tracks, denying a killing spree from taking place. In spite of this courageous and vigilant gesture, the craven terrorists have managed to harm our people in some occasions. The struggle has continued to rout and seize these terrorists. And, just recently, our Security Forces have captured "skilled" terrorist, who was trained by Eritrea- a one man state of dictatorship. This is a testament to those who are running to live another day to cause havoc and mayhem. Remember, "you can run but you cannot hide." !
