Dr. Berhanu’s diplomatic initiative at the EU is very welcome. Given his skills he is one of those leaders of our movement who is particularly suited to carry out such an important task.
It is my view that such a crucial task,however,must not be a solitary mission. Best results can be achieved in this and other areas if they are done collectively and in consultation with others. There is no alternative to MIKIKIR.The astute Emperor Menelik, for instance, was able to bequeath the heroic legacy of Adwa to us because he always knew strength comes through unity and he deliberated and consulted with the wise men and women around him to achieve his goals.
Like wise,Dr.Berhanu must and can work hand and glove with the many wise and experienced people around him. Leaving his differences aside, he should reach out particularly but not entirely to his former colleagues and work flat out to realize the advent of the ‘dawn of freedom’.

Why is it these foreigners (Europeans) involving in Africans domestic politics ? ?
It is foreigners who created and devided Africa and Africans and set war between them, now the european coming back as a peace makers. Only Stupid Africans buy europeans trickery.

Kokeb,
Thats bullsh*t. A lot can be said about the effect of colonization on Africa and other outside influence can be cited as the cause for many of the problems of even uncolonized Ethiopia. However, we are the ultimate deciders of our fate as far as the potential of any human being to control his/her destiny goes. We have got absolutely no excuses! So stop pointing your fingers at the Europeans and get creative!

Are you still thinking Europeans and other foreigners will bring peace and properity to Ethiopia and Ethiopians ? ?
HA!!HA!!!HA!!!!HA!!!!!HA!!!!!!!!!
Think again!, learn from history. European and other foreign powers been meddeling in Africans domestic politics and Africans social issues, so far these foreigners brought nothing to Africa and Africans but division,war,social disease in the name of socializm and in the name of Democracy what have you.
The foreigners mission is totally different from what they tell you in the news, Do not forget they are there for their own- they always have their own hidden agenda through the hook or crook.
REPLAY HISTORY IN YOUR MIND,DO NOT FALL FOR CONTEMPORARY DECEPTIVE WORDS SUCH AS “DEMOCRACY”, that is the kind of word they use when they decided to pentrate you and devide you and exploit you.

Thank you Dr. Birhanu for standing up for the thruth and exposing the murderous regime as well as you did.
Readers please don’t mind these Woyane agents like Kokeb, who pretend to oppose colonialism since they never thought of that wile they were begging money in the name of Ethiopia. The same ethno-centric people were justifying the killing of innocent
Civilians in their homeland living in a democratic country wile opposing democracy. These types of people would sell their families for money.
We Ethiopians will liberate our country using all means necessary; drain your funding sources, expose you inside and outside.
GO BIRHANU!
Ethiopia will never be divided!

Well done Brish!!
Wherever you go and in whichever line you stand you are the jewel of Ethiopia, you always sparkle & outshine everyone.
The Woyanies knew you that they cannot stand in front of you in the international platform & that was why they opted, shamefully, to be represented by highly skilled lobbyist to challenge you. However, no matter how one can be skilled, he cannot outshine our jewel, Birhanu Nega.
Shame on the Western countries, who finance this brutal government who spends their money to pay to such lobbyists.
Dr. Brhanu, let the others keep on talking nonsense, but you keep on doing what is expected from one scholar who loves his country and people. We are behind you.
God Bless you.
