Person of the Year
Undoubtedly is Birtukan Mideksa. She is still paying a dear price for standing up to what is eating our progress as a society and inspiring those who would want to do things the right way! "Alebabsew biarsu barem yimelesu" or 'if you don't do something the right way the ramifications will not be pleasant .' The regime in addis thinks they can get away with anything and are still squandering their golden opportunities to bring a lasting peace and development in the country. Birtukan a symbol of the majority's disgust with facade developmental attempts and empty propoganda, promising so much to people who are struggling to get their basic needs met. She is a mirror they need to look upto to get delivered from their delusional thoughts and those who are supporting these tyraanical despots will surly pay a price once the people's struggle for freedom fulfils its goal. The time to bring change in Ethiopia is rapidly arriving and Birtukan's diligence of purpose brought millions to the cause and she is growing in the hearts of Ethiopians by every second she is spending in the notorious tplf jail. Little does the tplf know of her as imprisonment is bringing millions more to the opposition's fold just like the crucification of Jesus got billions into Christianity! Thank you!
