THE EPRP LEADERS ARE NOT THE PROBLEMIT IS THE PARTY ITSELF
They are Lost, Confused and Boring: why change is essential!
By: Dr. G Bekele - 31 October 2002
Bizarre as it may seem, EPRP ideas are back in fashion. Oh dear, oh dear. Blink and you have missed it: voices from the past are ruining preparations of 2005 elections, which are seen as make or brake for Ethiopia’s survival. Voices from the past rotten era have come back on all directions to ruin all the good work EDP, TISJD and others have done so far. Like beheaded chickens, at first they didn’t know they were dead.

Dancing with the Wolves: Woyane's unabated saga By: Daood MohamedMust read Article "Woyane is in it to save "Eritrea from Eritreans". I would argue that Issayas has become the worst enemy of the so-called "Eritrean nationalism", which is about to crumble. After eleven years of conspiracy and deceptive propaganda, even at times unpretentiously adventurous policies, a viable "Eritrean nation-state" remains to be an elusive dream. Those who back-boned the secession of "Eritrea" are now faced with gloomy realities. These realities cast serious doubts to the very essence of "Eritrean Independence" triggering a new debate about the myths of secession. Under such state of affairs, it is only a matter of time before "Eritrea" disintegrates into oblivion. Some one has to save "Eritrea" from itself and once again, Woyane is stepping up to the rescue."

Who is to blame?The Reporter: One of the major agendas PM Meles Zenawi included in his report to parliament last week concerning the federal government's work plan for the current Ethiopian year is the issue if transparency and accountability. If there is real commitment on the part of the authors of the report, transparency and accountability, indeed, should be given top priority in the current political context.

Principle and practiceThe Reporter :October 09, 2002:
To an observer who closely follows the principles and the actual practices of the EPRDF, the question why the party doesn't put into action what it promises will be uppermost in his mind. The basic answer to this is that the EPRDF is in a crunch between its party interest and the desire to bring about change.

The Paradox of Bread Basket Starving EthiopiaDr. Ghelawdewos Araia
When I read “Ethiopia renews drought warning” on the BBC website on September 3, 2002, I was not surprised at all. On the contrary, the recurrence of famine like a relapsing fever was thematic centrality to all my previous writings on the seemingly permanent hunger in Ethiopia.

Why Ethiopia Stayed Behind
By Timothy KalyegiraEthiopians love their country. But they more than even I feel that they there are difficulties in the country that they can no longer ignore. Because I am an outsider, yet in a certain way now also an insider, I have the benefit of neutrality.I bring with me a point of view that is based on my being a Ugandan, an African, and also one who is interested in the historic African country of Ethiopia.
Yet, as an African who has taken the time to try and understand Ethiopia, I can also talk about things from a more informed standpoint than that of just a tourist spending a few weeks in the country.

Preemptive Strike as a Means of Protecting National SecurityBy Mikre (Sept. 27, 2002)
Throughout its history, Ethiopia has been a victim of unprovoked aggression. Such aggression came from far away lands as well as from nations in a close proximity. Religious, political, economic and geographic ambitions were behind these ruthless acts of adventurism.

MELES WALKING ON THIN ICEBy: Dr. G Bekele (25 September 2002)
Since 1991 Meles Zenawi has deliberately and systematically flouted the rule of law in Ethiopia they say, he has lost the moral right to govern his people. By abusing their fundamental rights, freedom and for his traitorous activities, he has earned their contempt. One man can exalt a nation as Nelson Mandela did South Africa; one man can destroy a nation as Meles has Ethiopia.

Stamping out corruption in Africa: a dream or a reality?By Tsegay Gebriye (London)
The newly born AU (African Union) is preparing to take the bull by the horns to try to stamp out corruption or is it? Corruption 'costs Africa billions'(BBC, 18 September, 2002)
The intention is noble and must be applauded, but the devil is in the detail. A mere signing of a convention or the introduction of new legislation alone will not stop corruption.
