Boosting a Dictator


 (Critique to Dr.Solomon Inquai )
Getachew Reda San Jose, California


My fellow Ethiopians, our country is in a very dangerous situation. The rulers of the country (TPLF/EPRDF) have no intention of seeking truth from facts. They are flashy without substance, brittle with out solidity. They are always right, they are the Number One authority under heaven. Having said this many of us have read Dr.Solomon Inqui's article in the past many times. This time his recent article "The Best Teacher is the Best Student" I have read his article repeatedly attacking the beloved suns of Ethiopia Dr.Gelawdewos Araya and Professor Teccola W.Hagos for presenting the true document and for exposing the true face of the mercenaries who are out there to destroy Ethiopia.

As sale outs, like the other servants of meles Zenawi, Solomon Inquai too, time after time, routinely and purposely wounds the Ethiopian cause. When reasonable Ethiopians try to expose the treason and the crime that Meles, Seyoum, and Sibhat led government is practicing against the country using the power seized illegally, Solomon Inquiai quickly become too personal and dismiss the reasonable demand and criticism as it came from fabrication and urge all of us to obey a tyrant and mercenary's system (true name Banda's system). To make us believe he is asking the over sea Ethiopian oppositions to come in to the country and judge for ourselves. ( he is inviting even to those who work with his government and  left the country after witnessing the system was too destructive which one party and one man dictate as if they were not there with Solomon Inquai .

Here are how educated individuals like Solomon isboosting a Dictator.
I am tickled by the holier than thou attitude of many of those in Diaspora. They act as fault finders and have no shame to criticize what is happening in Ethiopia irrespective. They are never ready to learn, or try to find out what exactly is taking place at home, let alone come home be counted. 

Dr.Solomn Inquai, unless you are insane it isclear to all of us the government in power led by handful individuals from TPLF are  the once who do not learn from their past or present mistakes.
Theodore M.Vestal the one who exchange letters with your master (Meles Zenawi) have said this on his article *we Bemoan the Current State of Ethiopia* presented in. one Ethiopian Diaspora meeting.

" The world is not aware ofthe totalitarian acts of the TPLF/EPRDF, we regret. That what  should be a democratic playing field remains a battlefield in the eyes of the Woyane: that the field is not  level because of government actions, we regret. We regret too that the government’s Ethnic federalism has spawned hatred among Ethiopians who have traditionally lived together in peace and that the laws and proclamations of government are applied in a system of ethnic and party-loyalty justice that provides human rights only for the party faithful… and not always for all of them . We regret  that the government actions made a mockery of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of association…..The litany of regrets, the bill of particulars about what the TPLF/EPRDF intentionally has made of Ethiopia, could be rehearsed all day and night. But the bottom line is that because of what the government has not done, the nation suffers… and not just from poverty in the physical sense.

Ethiopia suffers in its soul. Today, many Ethiopians are poor in spirit. They are poor in spirit because the government has become a law breaker, there by breeding contempt for law. They are poor in spirit because their rulers have inculcated in their lackeys, as well as theirvictims, unlimited cynicism, causing them to lose all realistic understanding of the interrelationship, in what they are doing, of ends and means. They are poor in spirit because the very foundations of their culture, the human dignityof Ethiopians has been eroded."

Dr. Solomon Inquai!  All political opposition and civic opposition groups inoversea  knows what is taking place in their country Ethiopia. You are asking all of us to come to Ethiopia, to do what? You have already jailed and shackled many genuine Ethiopians fabricating witnesses. The following is what most Ethiopians witnessed and report it to humanitarian organizations and as well to foreigners of Ethiopian friends.

" Security forces came to people’s homes in the middle of the night to arrest them with out warrant, to imprison them with out indictment, to interrogate them, to torture them if there women, to rape them.

Dr.Solomon Inquai! It is time to quit playing asking us to come  into the hands of the divide and conquer strategy of your party TPLF/EPRDF. For too long you and your party have played so many destructive  games. It is your time to think twice once again how to reorder your thinking and create self-reconciliation with the nation than serving young tyrants from the bush of Tigray and Eritrea. I pray God to help you seeing to what is taking place around you so you wont be caught in the crime of boosting and abiding tyrants.

Dr.Solomon with all due respect,  you even try to boost the position of  Meles  Zenawi's Ethiopia ness for his strong position on the HQ of United African for his argument with Libya . Meles is not the only one who debated our enemies  in support to  Ethiopia, but also other countries too do support and argued against Libya, they spoke the  same what the Prime Minister did in the conference. Therefore this does not give the Prime Minister a green light that he is dwelling on a vital issue and interests of the nation. He is a failure when he comes to the Interest of Ethiopia, not only he is a failure he is foreign mercenary who goes against Ethiopia's interest. We have full of evidence to prove it. It is very clear the nation have lost interest on him long time ago.  How naïve one can be to bring such view to show the strength of Mele’s Ethiopia ness? If such is not boosting a Tyrants what is it?

You have also use Rome in your proverb as symbol,  by explaining Rome was not built in one day. Now we are witnessing Dr. Solomon coming out to admire Rome to be symbol to Ethiopia. Ethiopia did took so many challenges than Rome to establish a system of government and a proud people   Rome can be a symbol of mercenaries and colonial lovers, but Ethiopia will stay as Ethiopia to Ethiopians and remain as a symbol of many challenges. Rome can be built as fast or as slow as she want to be, Ethiopia’s beauty and civilization did not come from injustice or from robbing other countries. Its own farmers, men and women, Christian and Islam Priests, Hermits and Hajjis and Qadis built it from scratch.
 It took  many thousands and thousands of years to built a country of  proud strong  ancient god fear society of this land of ours. SADLLY  it took TPLF and EPLF leaders ten years to destroy it like a clay to fulfill their mercenary mission. Sad! Very Sad! Indeed Very, Very Sad! "Cry and Angry loud My Beloved country. There is nothing worst than this".

" Dr. Solomon must be ‘the teacher-student’ and refrain from intimidating people. Instead of discussing issues, he resorted to intimidation and uses words such as ‘kicked out’ for the former TPLF leaders that were ousted unceremoniously. Moreover, Dr. Solomon has shown no indication for dialogue in his article. On the contrary, his essay is a propaganda leaflet of a police stateled by his master Meles Zenawi.
The voice of truth cannot long be silenced. It is our duty to speak out the truth to save our nation.  From mercenaries . Our people will not surrender to the camps of BANDAS"
