(Blog) All against one Evil: current slogan of the opposition

ALL against one EVIL!! No question the devil in the Horn of Africa is called Weyane. All nations in the region have this one common enemy. Ethiopian nations like Oromos, Amharas, Gurages, Sidamas, Somalis, Afars, Welayitas...etc and the neighboring nations like Eritrea, Djibouti and Somalia are joining the alliance. I think G-7 starting to cooperate with OLF is the new version of AFD. This will be the beginning of the END for the devil of the Horn. One of the best sentences said by Dr Berihanu is: Weyanewoch iyekefaafeluun yaalluut, kennesuu bilxinnet yetenessaa sayihon, kenyaa moonyinnet yetenessaa newu!!

The two phases of struggle for freedom and democracy planned by AFD and now propagated by G-7 are:
- first phase to achieve our FREEDOM
- second phase to build our DEMOCRACY!!

Now in the first phase, we ALL need to cooperate for freedom from Weyane lording as well looting and later in the second phase we all can compete for a power in a democratic way.

It is time for all opposition democratic parties and the liberation fronts including both "legals" and "illegals" to come to their sense, after the past 18 years of foolishness. Let all of them agree on one common ground, i.e on one common purpose: National INDEPENDENCE with Regional UNION.

There are four groups of politicians regarding this common purpose:

1) EPRDF, who claims to have achieved both national autonomy for all nations in the empire and have forged a federalism (UNITY) based on "free will" of these autonomous nations.

2) EPRP and the conservative AEUP, who rejects national Independence (Autonomy) of nations in the empire and who do cry only for Ethiopian Unity, by which they mean amharanized Unitarity.

3) ULFO of Oromo people and some other liberation fronts reject regional Union, but struggle for only national Independence like Gadaa Republic of Oromia disregarding the possible benefit of a regional union of all nations in the region.

4) The ex-AFD as well as the present MEDREK including some moderate organizations like OFDM, UEDF of Prof. Beyene, UDJ and others like G-7 seem to struggle for establishing Regional Union (Eth. Union) with National Independence (freedom/autonomy) of all nations in the region. It was the vision of OLF from the very beginning to achieve both Oromian Independence (national freedom) and if possible based on free will to forge Ethiopian Union (regional integration).

I hope the liar first group will be compelled to stop its deception. Of course the second and third groups are loosing their mass base. Specially these second and third groups need to come to their sense and join the fourth group, for the current momentum is in favor of the fourth group. I do think those fronts and parties with such common purpose of National Independence with in Regional Union must forge a new all inclusive alliance to get rid of the barbaric and fascist Weyane.

This is really very god anti-dote for the attempt of Weyane to devide Amharas and Oromos. As the election time approaches, Weyane do every thing possible to hinder that these two big nations cooperate. Even we are seeing them promoting the extremist Amharas, who do cry for unitarist amharanized Ethiopia and they do support the extremist Oromos who do fight for only Independence of Oromia disregarding the possibility of Union of nations in the region. Eg is how they do support extremist AEUP and how they do promote OLF-faction organizing ULFO.
