“Need” Always Keeps “Hate” In Its Pocket like a “Knife”

“Need” Always Keeps “Hate” In Its Pocket like a “Knife” Getachew Reda www.ethiopiansemay.blogspot.com Many of you heard or read news that the hateful Ibsaa Guutama walked out of the Boston meeting aiming to reconcile the two factions (that of Daoud Ibsa and the " moderate" Kemal Gelchu and Hassan faction. The OLF’s Skinhead (Ibsaa Guutama) wrote hateful article against Ethiopia and its people to back/support the head of the OLF Skinhead (Daould Ibsaa) and condemn the others. *Note_ (I can’t assure you that Kemal Gelchu (X TPLF/EPRDF General) and his other friends are moderate, but my gut tells me that they wear same Helmet as the above Skin Heads. My concern is not here Kemal or Hassan as moderate or not to compare with the known OLF Skinheads, the issue for all of you to ask is “ where is the moderate OLF of Daoud that Berhanu is talking about!? We now found out from their Boston meeting that Berhanu Nega’s Daoud= Ibsa. Not only Daud =Ibsa, but the Skinhead Ibsa is telling the OLF gang bangers that “it is the duty of nationalists OLF to go out and destroy Ethiopian people as whole!” May I precisely quote his word Ladies and Gentlemen? Here is the precise word what this retarded old man is teaching OLF gang bangers should do to Ethiopia and Ethiopians “Neither democratized Ethiopia nor independent Republic of Oromiyaa will be realized unless the empire is dismantled." (By Ibsaa Guutama- Gubirmans.com) Here you go Ladies and Gentlemen! This is the kind of OLF brain that Berhanu Nega, Ethio Media, Ethioforum.org , Abay Media, Abugida, Ecadef, Addis Voice are telling us on their websites OLF deserve to be called “POLITICAL ORGANIZATION” . I already told you several times, the above deluded opposition websites are part of the conspiracy that OLF is getting an open door to spread its terror of propaganda against Ethiopia. OLF is not political organization as these collaborator opposition websites are trying to fool you. OLF is purely criminal entity headed by handful hateful elements that are giving you a clear signal over and over that a person like Ibsaa Guutama is ejaculating his emotion of hate to dismantle Ethiopia and its people. How gross and mentally sick one could be to openly write to say,- "Neither democractized Ethiopia nor independent Republic of Oromia will be realized unless the empire is dismantled"! He is not even looking or demanding independent “Republic Oromia”, he is looking at dismantling, murdering Ethiopians, eliminating Ethiopian population before his foggy and crazy dream of Oromia Republic is fulfilled. Didn’t I tell you OLF are outdated and retarded? How could someone take this man in this modern century as normal person let alone politician? Many of you, my readers might think this man and his followers understand the consequence in the political and legal term, the language, the word they use when they project their hate against 80,000,000 people of Ethiopia using words such as “DISMANTLING/MURDERING/ELIMINATING”:- no, they don’t understand it, hate gives them pleasure, because their consciousness is alienated from their emotions – they don’t understand the language of their emotions, they don’t know what their emotions are saying by their very existence. They take enormous satisfaction from their hate but it is unconscious. I don’t recall who wrote the following part that I will quote for you below, but it is interesting. Read:- “We can see that many people are addicted to the euphoria of hate just by how much hate they produce when they are talking about other people/country, how often they are murdering people psychologically – by talking about others without taking into consideration their interests as if they were not human beings at all. Hateful actions don’t just suddenly start – they are usually prepared by a psychological warming up in a form of giving ourselves to hateful emotions. Before we target other people physically we target them emotionally. That is what extremism is all about!” This is exactly what I am talking to you about. Ibsaa Guutama as you read him above unless Ethiopia dismantled (entire population Murdered/eliminated/disappeared) he will not find himself in power to run ethnic cleansing all over the East Africa in the foggy dream of his own upcoming Republic of Oromia. For Ibsa to run project of hate against Ethiopian population is not a psychological warming up he has done it during the Derg era as Derg official, he has done it as TPLF/EPRDF official. He is one of the leading responsible criminals of the hateful OLF officials that committed ethnic cleansing against Amhara peasants and workers. Therefore, for Ibsa Guutama to ejaculate his hate from his home in New York is not new but he is praying for legal trouble. Why the politically bankrupted OLF leaders are into such hate business is known to most of us. They are trying to build their 45 years of low esteem by spreading hate and terror. Hate is self-aggrandizing, self-elevating. Hate, murder, dismantling population and country is what is left for OLF business instead of civilized political dialogue. They failed over 40 years to show us civilized politics. Instead they practiced mercenary mission, ethnic cleansing, killing, insulting/deceiving and terror. OLF failed miserably to play the game of modern politics, what it chose is hate, and hate is the simplest and the cheapest strategy of self-aggrandizement known to human species. It is sad that after all those years OLF still can’t think more than dismantling and killing! They are stuck! This modern world is too though for OLF to deal with, therefore, they stuck with their tool of terror and hate. We know what hate does to the object that holds it. Don’t we? It is the very crime itself, to fool the Nintendo Wii Fit game addicted youths in America who never experienced how horrible war could be if one trying to dismantle a country of 80,000.000 population in it, selling them a T Shirt of “Oromo Republic” to wear in which the leaders themselves refuse to lead the fight! It is indeed a classic type of deceit that these criminals should have been in jail for fooling ill informed Oromo young kids. Let me give you one more of Ibsa hate and conclude. Ibsa in his last week hate article after he walkout from Boston he wrote “forgetting the Oromo saying “Eat with the alien, but swallow turning to your kin. With the empire’s demise, all countries will return to their owners.” This is the worst ignorant, backward thinking, racist teaching one can gamble with the fate of a new generation of Oromo at this computer age where not only Ethiopians but all world population, regardless language differences interact with marriage, culturally, politically, technologically, and economically as one world family not seen as alien as the OLF Skin Head Ibsaa want to hate anyone out of Oromo ethnic. You see, he doesn’t trust any human being; he doesn’t want to eat and entertain with anyone apart his skin, he hate to interact with human fellow but only with his skin kind. To hate means to feel and to state that I am above the one whom I hate. For Ibsa Guutama, to hate means to be sure that he will be able to destroy whom he hate, because his hate suggests to him that he is stronger just by the very fact of experiencing hate. Because Ibsa and his bankrupted organization is so shameful and frustrated for over 40 years, if foaming hate against 80,000,000 he thinks that hate is hierarchical feeling, because to put object down means to put the subject up, which is TERA JILAJIL premature MEDEDE individual I have ever encounter in this era of politics. Just hate somebody, and you will feel great and optimistic and will believe in your future and your victory over the world is what Ibsa is teaching young Oromo kids here in America. He doesn’t realize that by hating and teaching to dismantling 80,000,000 populations is a crime of hate. So, when OLF is telling us clearly that it is going to dismantle our country Ethiopia and our family in it, you know you are not going to get no love or respect from us or soften our heart: we only count you as Bin Laden of Ethiopia whose aim is reigning terror against 80, 000,000 population to dismantle it. We understand that need is tough when you can’t get it. It can be despotic to mind, they say any need is despotic, “need always keeps hate in its pocket like a knife”. But hate doesn’t need to be needed – it is always there. OLF need to stay away from talking murdering or dismantling 80,000,000 population, to wage war to the extent of dismantling a country and its habitat is terror, and sooner or later it is calling legal and political trouble. A group that failed to learn politics after 40 years needs a thoroughly and painstakingly self checking examination.Examination-seriously!

(Part II) You let it be.... and the mud settled down on its own Getachew Reda (getachre@aol.com http://www.ethiopiansemay.blogspot.com/

Let me start by saying “Why should the above hungry and abused Ethiopian should ask apology to the Ogaden people or ONLF? Why the above abused Ethiopian just about equally abused like the Ogaden Ethiopians should expect or beg “forgiveness” from ONLF which is a criminal entity by its nature that claimed an Arab by race with a different flag? Can you see the above picture “two flags” for one people!? Look at the above dummy Ethiopian audiences clapping their hands, appreciating a crime in front of their eyes!!!!!!!!! Eriy Bey Agere is not enough to cry for Ethiopia looking at these dummies wisdom!

Let us move on to read more.

Though I don’t know what Canada has to do with Ethiopian issue to be baptized by “በቃ” if that was meant to be to the Ethiopians in Canada, well then based on the conference that the Hinfishfish / ZIRIGRIG (the turbid opposition) opposition broadcasted, what really was the said Conference all about? All we heard was from one ONLF “researcher” who is the same deluded elite with the same rhetoric of running away from the reality that his organization and his similar friends of his likes from a secessionist organization who played with the fire of tribalism supported by CIA and the Arabs, to the extent which ONLF leaders identified themselves as Arab Muslim (see my prior commentary “the Deluded Elite of the Liberation Fronts Part I”. And yet, he is asking you “if Meles can be Ethiopian, why can’t he? The answer to this fellow from the turbid audiences was “clapping hands” instead of asking him back, why a qualified RESEARCHER allowing his organization’s ideology/leader to play with his IDENTITY as ARAB MUSLIM? But, an audience with such delusionary status of mind is nothing but, ግም ለግም አብሮ ያዘግም!

One can’t hold accountable to anyone when intentionally denounced his /her identity and his country and replaced into someone else! Therefore, Mr. ONLF researcher need to search himself where he lost his identity before trying to get it from me or from any one. Obviously, the man is confusing himself from his own definition of confused identity or he is intentionally using the confused audience to act as victim of identity. What does a Nation within Ethiopia mean when he declared Ogaden a Nation within Ethiopia and self determination mean? When Ogaden was included within Ethiopia based on the UN agreement after the 2nd World War, it was to be one of the Harar administrative land of Ethiopia not a Nation!

Where the hell did he learn this Communist vocabularies of Nation, Nationalities, people and ,… That is why he is playing victimization rhetoric for 130 years by Ethiopia’s repression as if Ethiopia didn’t librated him from Turk, Arabs, British and Italian colonization- unless he still define Ethiopia as colonizer of Ogaden for 130 years , which he already acused Ethiopia as such. That, we can debate historically that Ogaden was given to us legally under auspices of the League of Nations/UN, not as the deluded ONLF is accusing Ethiopia for hegemony and abusive. I will prove anyone who disputed my claim a document next week after this article. So, playing victim is additive in some ways, it is the new ideology of the far left Walleling group. What does Ethiopia did to these deluded elites who are playing victims of 130 years by Ethiopia? Who taught him to speak English? Is not Ethiopia that allowed him to go to school in Ethiopia? Was he treated as second class citizen when he is sick and need treatment in a hospital, Was there any institution that told him he can’t get serve a lunch in a restaurant because he is from Ogaden? Has he been told he can’t sit in the front sit, because he is from Ogaden? Wasn’t there abuse before 130 years in the desert of Ogaden by Ogaden tribal leaders? Stop playing Jackal! Enough!

You see, with social anxiety, it's EASY to play the victim. It's easy to blame past experiences, country, genetics, our family, our friends, and so on. It's easy to say that things are hopeless for 130 years as if it was brighter before 130 years. The claim of victimization by Ethiopia , or the claim of Ethiopia as the prison house of ethnic/tribes is the worst bogus the communist manifesto worshippers and that the extreme distorted lie spread by the WALELEGN worshippers complied to execute the mission of “ROMAN PROCHAZKA” that they want to feed you.

You see, it's easy to give up and confused with such issues living in a confused atmosphere of elites who are controlling the media and the political stage. And that is why Mr. ONLF researcher is playing a victim looking a handkerchief from the Ethiopian people, while at the same time; his speech claimed “ALL Walks of the Ethiopian society are victims!” If that was the case “why playing victim for 130 and he demanding he will forgive “ETHIOPIA” (us) if we all support his ONLF (claimed Arab) demand and manifesto. Nerd!

So, what was really meant to baptizing the Canada Ethiopian community with በቃ? When you baptize ideologically the said community with such slogan (በቃ) I guessed it meant to insight into the reality that community must say “enough is enough” to TPLF governing system. though I am not sure what the word በቃ meant applied in Canada Conference, based on the confused opposition shortsighted wisdom that I heard from their speech, I can say it with confidence that the word “enough is enough” did not apply or addressed to the “CIA Mercenaries Who Have Played with the Fire of Tribalism” such as ONLF, OLF. The motto “enough is enough” was actually applied only to TPLF governing system by the “Turbid opposition” who only think TPLF is the only enemy of Ethiopia. But, thanks to my friend “አህመድ ይማም” who demanded eloquently that the motto “enough is enough” should also aim at those “CIA Mercenaries Who Have Played with the Fire of Tribalism” under the title “በቃ! --- ለሌሎችም ተገቢ ነው” (posted on http://www.ethiopiansemay.blogspot.com/ (4/25/11). Let me remind you here one more time what my friend “አህመድ ይማም” on his commentary above said:- Let me remind readers what “አህመድ ይማም” said on that article “… ሻዕቢያ ተገርተው፣ ለኦነግ መጫወቻ የሆኑትና ፋይዳ ቢስ የሆነ “ኤ ኤፍ ዲ” የሚባል ነገር መስርተው የነበሩትም ለሎች ናቸው። የድርጅት መሪን ወይም የትላንት ጓደኛቸውን ለወያኔ ከሰው የሚያሳስሩ የድርጅት መሪዎችም መጠቀስ ይችላሉ። ከወንበዴው ወያኔ ጋር የስነስርዓት ስምምነት ያደረጉ፤ መሪያችን ባትፈታም ምርጫ እንገባለን ያሉ። በቃ በቃችሁ መባል የነበረባችውና ያለባችው ብዙዎች ናቸው። ላፈሰሱት ደም፤ ለፈጸሙት ክህደት ሕዝብን ይቅርታ ሳይጠይቁ የትግል መሪ ነን ያሉትና ለነዚህም ድጋፍ የሰጡ በቃ! በቃ! ሊያድነቁራቸው በተገባ ነበር። ግና አልሆነም። ከቅርብ ጊዘ ወዲግ ደግሞ "በዛ አበዛሀው!” መባል ያለበት ድርጅት ግንቦት 7 ና በተለይም መሪው ዶክተር ብርሃኑ ናቸው። በተሳሳተው ገንጣይና ተገንጣይን ማቀፍ በሚለው አጓጉል ፖለቲካቸው የተነሳ። ይህ ሀገርንም ትግልንም የሚጎዳ፤ ለነሻዕቢያ የሚጠቅም አቅዋም መሆኑ የሚያክራክር አይደለም። ከዚህ በፊት በህብረት ተጀምሮ ያኔ ቅንጅት በነበሩት የተፈጸመው ኤ ኤፍ ዲ የተባለ ጉድ፣ የኦነግን አጀንዳ ከግብ ሊያደርስ ታቅዶ የነበር ለመሆኑ ሳይውል ሳያድር ተጋልጧል። በስሙ እንኳን ኢትዮጵያ የሚል እንዳይገባ ተደርጎ ነበር። ከዚያ እስከዚህ የተከፋፈለው ኦነግ ተገንጥዬ ነጻ ኦሮሚያን እመሰርታለሁ ከማለት አንድ ቀንም ተቆጥቦ ኣያውቅም። ዓላማው የሚሞኝ ካገኘ ወያኔ እሱን እንደጋለበው፣ ሌሎችን ኢትዮጵያዊ ድርጅቶችን መጠቀሚያ ለማድረግ ነው። በ 1983 ወያኔ ለስልጣን ሲበቃ እነ ሌንጮ ለታ ከወያኔና ሻዕቢያ ጋር በማበር የወያኔን አስገንጣይ ፖለቲካ ያጀቡና በተጨማሪም በሽግግሩ ጉባኤ እነ ኢዴሐቅ እንዳይሳተፉ ሲደረግ የፈነደቁ ናቸው። የአንድነት ሃይሎችን ከመድረኩ አግለው፣ ሀገር በታኝ የሆነውን የወያኔ ፖሊሲ በህዝብ ላይ ተባብረው የጫኑ ናቸው።የትላንቱ ዛሬ የለም ብለው ሊረቱን የሚፈልጉት ደግሞ በርግጥም በኦነግ አቅዋም ለውጥ መደረጉን ወይም መምጣቱን ሊያሳምኑን ይገባል። በተጨባጭና ሳይንሳዊ መረጃ። ይህ መረጃ ግን የለም።ኦነግ ከሀበሻ ቅኝ አገዛዝ ስርዓት ተላቆ ነጻ ኦሮሚያን መመስረት የሚለውን/መሰረታዊና የቆየ አቅዋሙን አልቀየረም። እነ አሶሳና በደኖን በንጹህ አማሮች ደም ያቀላው ውጉዝ አቅዋም ማለት ነው። ኦነግ ግንቦት 7ና ሌሎችንም ሊጠቀምባቸው ፈልጎ ኢትዮጵያዊ ቃና ያለው የሚመስል/ንግግርን ሊጀምር ቢችልም መሰረታዊ “ኦሮሞዎች ኢትዮጵያዊ አይደለንም”-አቅዋሙን ለቅንጣትም አልቀየረም። በማስረጃነትም ድረገጹን ማየት ይበቃል። በአቶ ዳውድ ኢብሳ የሚመራው ዋና መስሪያ ቤቱ አስመራ የሆነው ቡድን ከዚህ በፊት ብዙ ጊዜ የኢትዮጵያዊ ህብረት አካል ይሆን ዘንድ ተሞክሮ ከልቡ ፈቃደኛ ሆኖ አልተገኘም። ሞኝ ይመስል ነጋ ጠባ እንሞክረው እንለምነው ማለት ደግሞ ያስገምታል። ክብራችንን እንደ ኢትዮጵያዊ መጠበቅ ያስፈልጋል።” Yes, but who is listening this? Not the Ginbot 7 (the Hinfishfish/ZIRIGRIG opposition) that is responsible for destabilizing Ethiopian opposition unity here in the Diaspora and in the country in to fragmented oppositions. Not the elites, not the Hinfishfish drum beaters like that of Addis DimTs “Abebe Gelaw” and his likes of the ZIRIGRIG opposition websites are listening. They are not there to listen, they have never been listeners to begin with, and they were turbid creators in the mind of the people of the Pan Ethiopian camps. They called themselves Pan Ethiopin /unity, but practically they are the turbid elements worst than the turbid mind of the Libration Fronts themselves who do not know what they are doing.

The turbid opposition elites keep turbid the camp of the Pan Ethiopian opposition since the first ast two elections in Ethiopia (no need to detail which is already on the record filed). Will these “Hinfishfish Drum Beaters” who turbid the Pan Ethiopian camp unity continue to turbid by bootlicking the criminals and Arab minded identity holders and secessionists forever, or they will settle down themselves as a Donkey who screamed on a green grass rolling over his back killing the green grass that feeds it and calm down after it got everything from the grass it needs to survive in the hard battle of life? – (The turbid donkey is a good example, just as the Kinijit and Ginbot 7 got used EPRP’s support to open their chapters all over the world and learn the ABC of politics from EPRP to only end up disrespecting their teachers “EPRP” whom the EPRP themselves are comfortably watching using the teaching of the Jesus or what the Asians called it the Buddha’s philosophy of calming down the turbid mind.) When would the “disturbed mind” calm down? I will present it the way the Asians demonstrated it- Read this educational story.

“Once Buddha was walking from one town to another town with a few of his followers... This was n the initial days. While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of his disciples, "I am thirsty. Do get me some water from that lake there."The disciple walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy, very turbid. The disciple thought, "How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink!"So he came back and told Buddha, "The water in there is very muddy. I don't think it is fit to drink." After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The disciple obediently went back to the lake.This time too he found that the lake was muddy. He returned and informed Buddha about the same. After sometime, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back. The disciple reached the lake to find the lake absolutely clean and clear with pure water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Buddha.”Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said," See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be.... and the mud settled down on its own - and you got clear water.

Your mind is also like that! When it is disturbed it is hard to coup, but just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own. You don't have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless. This is exactly what is happening with these turbid oppositions calling itself Ginbot 7, OLF, ONLF all hatched and trained and released from the CIA older son Isays’s Eritrea. Let us see them patiently as Buddha said it correctly “You let it be.... and the mud settled down on its own - and you got clear water.”

What really made me laugh also is when the ONLF researcher is comparing his organization with the IRA who were labeled as terrorist organization, but later became decent organization/accepted system (?) as member of the government community in Europe (England?/world). If that is the case Mr. Researcher! TPLF was listed on CIA as terrorist organization for kidnapping tourists/journalists… and others, but later became the DEMOCRATIC, the ENLIGHTENING, YOUNG HOPE OF AFRICA by the same CIA it listed it as TERRORIST. OLF was also listed as TERRORIST by the State Department, to only reverse again after OLF complained to its boss and got crossed out its name from the terrorist list!!! (Don’t laugh!) Here’re ONLF and OLF still supported by the same CIA and American Congress, while their gun is slaughtering Amhara and Christians in Ethiopia, at the same time claiming cessation of a different citizen and race from Ethiopia. The issue here we call you terrorists, or not doesn’t make a different in the eye of your creator CIA, you will be a decent organization and NEW HOPE OF AFRICA when you the “ONLF”, Ibsa Gutama of OLF and Berhanu Nega and Andargachew Tsege of Ginbor 7 replaced the Woyane tomorrow. Please, let us talk reality! Even the X Terrorist and the present terrorist government is still here with its Embay effectively working with the country that called it terrorist in the CIA list when TPLF was a guerrilla! Stop playing Jackal! Will you?

Shockingly also, such turbid minded oppositions head quarter is still in Asmara where the CIA love to accumulate its dummies to destabilize Ethiopia. I assure you, this HOOO! Hoopla of the CIA work is sooner or later will come down to its normal settle back again as usual when the mischievous Liberation Fronts got the “unsatisfactory mark/grade” for caring the CIA mission of destabilizing Ethiopia as they showed weak muscle for 40 years on the battle ground for 40 years. Then the CIA will look other bravado elite to deaf us again playing politics of victimization. You see, it’s criminal for those whom it's no big deal to sit with this turbid minded elites to highlight their deluded status as if they are honest liberation fronts, as if they didn’t claim they are Arabs, as if they are not criminals, as if they are not anti Ethiopia, but only blaming all human crimes and misery to Woyane Tigray government or to Ethiopian history or Ethiopian people which is dishonest by itself to give every crime and abuse done in that land ONLY to WOYANE or to Ethiopian Kings and rulers or to the people of Ethiopia for 130 years of abuse as the deluded Canada based ONLF researcher claimed shamelessly as if the Ogadenians were ruled by TRUE DEMOCRACY with a HONEY AND MILK, well fed not hungry since earth was created until they linked to Ethiopia, where their MYSERY STARTED! .

When anyone failed to challenge and clamping your hand to these liars & distorters, that means you are collaborating with similar criminals not better than TPLF/WOYANE and it is crime. Because, these ZIRIGRIG group coordinated by the so called “Ginbot 7” are collection of CIA Dummies who imitated as Ethiopians for cover up, but in reality they are criminals who played with fire of tribal politics up to secession similar to the TPLF. The ONLF researcher was making fun to the word KELIL as if he was not worst believer of KELILIZATION and CECETION (not to mention his leader demanded Ogaden as Arab Muslims). So, who is he fooling to whom? I or any other Pan Ethiopiansit are right to raise hell and wrath against the Woyane-Sha’abia puppets (ONLF OLF… for implementing TPLF ideology on their programs), given the havoc those have caused in Ethiopia , that is a natural reaction for any Ethiopian nationalist who have fought us and bleed us for 30/17/40 years respectively. It seems to me these days; new politicians are rising up from nowhere to tell us how nice the Sha’abia, the OLF, the ONLF, and the Woyane are. We know they are criminals from their record of years in politics, particularly the two puppet organizations created by the CIA in 1969 (for Sha’abia) and shortly after for Woyane and later OLF and ONLF by the Arabs/Muslim surrounding countries. These four have been created, organized, armed and fed for 30/40 and 17….. years until now by the CIA and the Arabs to destroy and dismember Ethiopia as one nation, and in order to break it up on fabricated tribal basis. Read professor Aleme Eshetes (rest his soul in peace) how Richard Copeland created the EPLF in 1969, and shortly after the TPLF-Woyane and the rest of the deluded liberation fronts that he posted it on EEDN and on the internet. Now, as if we have no clue about who they are, these ZIRGRIG (turbid elements) are claiming currently in Atlanat and in Canada conferences on their deceptive speech talking that they are looking for “inalienable entitlements” respected in Ethiopia. But, who is going to give them if they say according to the ONLF researcher based in Canada saying “No one gives or takes away the “inalienable rights”. If that is case, who is then he asking to give it to him back? If someone took his “inalienable rights” is taken away (surely not Ethiopia!!), then he has to demand it from

TPLF, Arabs, and CIA who else… or from or from its own ONLF leader not from Ethiopia as a country. In this case the ONLF researcher needs to do his job (if he is a researcher) and ask why his ONLF is claiming its identity as Arab Muslim not Somali not Ethiopians. That way, his “inalienable entitlements” can be found where he lost it, if he is looking for it, where the original problem or the source of the problem for his “inalienable entitlements” is seemed to be lost. But, you and I know that manifesto of these ZIRIGRIG group revealed clearly that they are not Ethiopian people but Arab Muslims, so, what is the bravado that “ቶሮንቶ በበቃ ተጠመቀች” meant?

ወዳጄ አህመድ እንዳለው ፦ “አወቅሽ አወቅሽ ቢሏት ቅዱስ መጽሐፍ አጠበች እንደተባለው ሁሉ፣ .. በዚሁ ሽፋን ደግሞ በሬን “ወንድ ላም” የሚሉ ኣላዋቂዎች በመድረኩ የበላይነትን ይዘው ነገር ዓለሙን ድብልቅልቅ አድርገው ለወያኔ ምቹ ሰለባ ሊያደርጉን መፍቀድ አይገባንም። ውጤቱ “ባዶ። ቀፎ። ዜሮ። የጨረባ ተዝካር!” (በአራዳዎቹ አማርኛ) በትግርኛው (ባምባ። እንዳ ዋዕዋዕ! ሪጋ ተማናጠል! ዕግርግር/ዝርግርግ ፖለቲካ።) Therefore, when we say “በቃ!” ለዝርግርግ ፖለቲከኞችም መጨመር አለበት”። በበቃ ውስጥ በቃችሁ ማለት የሚገባቸው ያልበቁ ዕቃዎች፤ ያልበሰሉ ሙዞች አሉ። may I ask all of you?

After making a lot of empty speech on the need for unity the Toronto conference participants concluded with their longstanding anti unity call disguised as a call for the full right for self determination. In other words secession as they want it. Now what is Ginbot 7 doing propagating secessionists and their evil aims of dismembering Ethiopia? Why is Ginbot 7 crazing OLFiye, ONLFiye when the call should be for the unity of pan Ethiopian forces to defeat the Meles regime? Why indeed!! Indeed, “You let it be.... and the mud settled down on its own” ጌታቸው ረዳ getachre@aol.com http://www.ethiopiansemay.blogspot.com/

(Commentary on the Atlanta Conference) (Part I) www.ethiopiansemay.blogspot.com getachre@aol.com

(408) 561 4836

By

Getachew Reda I am addressing my commentary in English rather than to use our language in order to be readable for those delusional Arabic or English speaking Liberation Front elite leaders who claim not to understand or refuse to speak and read Amharic, the Ethiopian national language. So here follows my commentary on the Atlanta Conference of the ONLF, OLF and Ginbot 7 ,in the hopes that they can read me. This commentary is long and I ask readers to bear with me. I am happy that you are all here to read my commentary. I need all of you to focus on the lies and distortion they tried to make you believe, examining them closely to see the deceit, based on what they say, and, on the contrary, what their program says. Listen carefully brothers and sisters, I am not shooting a gun like them at your families or your flag or your country Ethiopia, I am talking to you through my pen, therefore, you are welcome to shoot a response commentary for this paper just as I am doing it, excluding guns and bullets aside. Last night, while surfing the internet I saw a head line at Ethiomedia.com reading “ONLF, OLF and Ginbot 7 discussing issue in Atlata”. I said, okay, hoping to hear something new never heard. I opened the audio video posted and listened attentively from each speaker. All were hypocrites as usual, either targeting the GOVERNMENT or the PEOPLE/society of ETHIOPIA for not approaching them or not sympathizing with their cause and carefully avoiding all talk of the crimes committed by their own organization. My observation on the ONLF representative’s speech I listened to Mr. Abdu Abdul Hakim from the Ogaden Liberation Front what he had to address in relation to his Ogaden people and Ethiopia. Though the fellow is a bit moderate than the right wingers of his group, I found his speech hypocritical in many ways. He seemed to suggest there is a common problem, including with his own organization,for not coming together to form a union with the Ethiopian opposition. In that regard, I applauded him. But, he still seemed to run away quickly from explaining the reason why his organization is fundamentally responsible for not coming together with the Pro-Ethiopian opposition. We need to examine this together. He need also himself examine the weakness of his own organization in detail to tell the public than to dismiss it in one word as described by him “everybody’s fault”. Surprisingly he did not limit himself there, but also accused others for not coming to ONLF or approaching the OLNF to share its problem! Well, I disagree and before accusing the PEOPLE who he referred to “YOU the PEOPLE” to approach his organization, he need to tell his organization not to run away from Ethiopia and Ethiopian identity before anything else! I will briefly explain this later. Note: from the editor: - Here is what Mr. Hakim’s speech addressed to the public during the conference, VERBATIM, I just quoted it the way his addressed to the audience. (I have inserted some “word/s” in some of the sentence to define it better, but no significant change to his word/sentence). He said “I am happy to be here, it was tough to organize this conference, and there is something to learn here – give them hand to those made this conference possible. I am from Ethiopia Ogaden. I think some neighbors think Ogaden is in Somalia, what do you think? (The audience clapping their hands or laughing) - …I came here since 1981, never go back. The call keeps coming, my family keep calling, something is wrong…. ” (He is trying to describe the terrible situation in Ogaden under TPLF rule.) Then he continued his speech in the following quoted speech to describe the disunity of Ethiopian people. He said “…this is OLF, this Amhara, this is Ogaden... this State that State… they divide us…if you don’t come to the truth …..this is the invisible war divided us, if you don’t tell yourself the truth, the truth is not going come to you, you have to go to the truth, this is the fact dividing us. I call this invisible wall. Among the Amharas there is a division, you have to admit that! This is Gondere that is Showa…how we challenge the government if we are like this. These are what people have to know. Why are we divided? “OH! THE OGADEN & THE OROMO ARE SECCESIONISTS.” Mr.Hakim continuing saying “we don’t have individual rights, group rights. We don’t have anything. If you don’t have anything at list you have to go one step ahead of yourself. That is what we should do! When we are politician we don’t tell the truth! We do everything makeup. The makeup is what? In this case either we are lying to our selves or we are lying to the public. When we do unusual it backfires. If we don’t tell the truth to each other right now, we will fight each other later and further divide. Because we are lying to each other. …People are hungry from Ogaden to Gojam to Wolle everywhere and they are fighting each other, and they hate each other, WHY? Because it is nonsense! We are not telling the truth. …Because we unite without unity. We talk about ETHIOPIA! ETHIOPIA and none of us … but, you have to see the invisible war at home and here …The Ogaden people are dying by the Weyane /government, we are victims really. If you people really care about Ogaden, they need your advocacy! They need your voice to tell them stop killing the Ogaden people, because they are the people of the future. If I talk about Amhara, the same thing, if I talk about Oromo the same thing, Benshangul the same thing. All people are suffering equal not us alone. We are tribes, we are… but we have common interest. What is the interest? Ethiopia! (Audience applauded/clapping their hand) If somebody comes to their area (and abuse them, kill their family…) what happens? They will fight back! That is what happens to the Ogaden and OLF, whatever you want to call them “secessionist” they have to live their life, because somebody is telling them what to do in their life. This is the fact. ” Leaving aside his delusional claim that Islam was first appeared as religion in Ogaden before the MEDINA (Mecca) and his other claim that Ahmed Negash (in Tigray) was in Harrar as a king before he goes to Tigray /Axum as a king (?), the claimed to give people of the Ogaden “FREEDOM”- as concluded his speech, saying “we are (Ogaden people the number one Habesha for three thousand years! Leaving that aside, let us go and inspect the speech in brief what we heard in his speech above in Atlata conference *(such a conference was actually not needed- just to remind Hakim or others preaching us this event is a groundbreaking first of its kind,- it has happened also before when Obang and the rest were involved there, even though Hakim seemed to forget it) . Let us first ask why Mr.Hakim of Ogaden Liberation is asking the Ethiopian people or the opposition to take responsibility for his claim of secession. Here is his general conclusion that I love, (funny). Curiously, he said “YOU HAVE TO SHOW ME …” said Mr. Hakim and I am listening to the audio and I ask back to the computer “what do you want me to show you?” Hakim continued “that you are with the Ogaden people. And I replied “who told you we are not with Ogaden people?” He continued “if you are going to tell them they are secessionist ‘THEY WILL GO TOMORROW’. When the Ogaden people are respected you will see things moved and changed. Go each of you look at the internet and chat room, “WE ARE SECESSIONIST, WE ARE BAD PEOPLE” “GUYS THEY WANT OUR LAND THEY DON”T NEED US!” said brother Mr.Hakim. Doesn’t the fellow sound like the Eritreans when he said they wanted our land, they do not want us”? Do you remember when I react about this exact slogan on Zega magazine published in Ethiopia/Addis Ababa in regard to Eritreans talking the same slogan to us? I wrote in Amharic saying “When we said they are our brothers, they denied that we are brothers/sisters, when we said, okay, you deny we are blood brothers and sister, but this is also our port and our land, they said , “guys, they do not want the people of Eritrea, but only the land and the port” And I concluded (this was in response to Meles talking on their behalf-) “The hell with you, don’t bother us any more about Eritrea –in the Axum Tigringa “AYWANIN NAN (not our business anymore!) Aite Meles!” I wrote. Yes, now Mr.Hakim is sounding similar to them!!! DÉJÀ VU!! Mr. Hakim’s main focus seemed to demand an attention and expect a request for forgiveness from THE PEOPLE OF ETHIOPIA or THE OPPOSITION. This is a hypocrite at worst kind. If the OLF and Ogaden Liberation Front are not secessionists what are they? I don’t care what he said in the microphone, his party program reads as clear evidence to be called SECESSIONIST. Not only secessionists but they called themselves ARAB MUSLIM PEOPLE! Here is Ogaden Chairman Admiral Mohamed Omar Osman leader of the ONLF what he has to say about his organization: “* Ogaden tribe region is “one of the last occupied Arab territories in the 21st century.” – ONLF Chairman said * “There are no noticeable schools. Moreover, there are no hospitals in the region” * “If these groups (Shabab) are fighting against Ethiopia, then we have a common enemy. “ * “Tribalism is not among the principles of the ONLF” * “The Ogaden people are an Arab Muslim people” Admiral Mohamed Omar Osman, leader of the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF), (Source Somal Swiss Community/Somalida Switzerland “ONLF leader claims Ogaden are “Arab people” under Ethiopian occupation..http: Somaliswisstv.com interview with Asharq Al-swak- source Los Angeles Times). Let me give one more evidence that Ethiopia is presented as colonialist and occupier and what the Ogaden leader answers to the following question from the interview. Asharq Al-Awsat- What are the political and military conditions in the Ogaden Region? [Osman] First of all, the region is in a state of war to liberate it from the Ethiopian occupation. Our struggle has achieved important successes, and our friends are increasing every day. (The entire above interview can be obtained http://somaliswisstv.com/2009/10/17/onlf-leader-claims-ogaden-are-arab-people-under-ethiopian-occupation/) Ladies and Gentlemen; - there you go! Now how Mr.hakim in Atlanta can accuse us for calling ONLF the secessionist as if they are not secessionist? His leader and its program is calling Ethiopia (not the government, but Ethiopia-mind you readers!) as occupier! And yet, we are to be blamed just because we commented based on their identity and program on which they called themselves not Ethiopian, not Somalia, but ARAB MUSLIM PEOLE! Are you following me people? Where in the hell is Ogaden in Ethiopia where Arab Muslim People live? Can Mr.Hakim explain to me why in the world his organization calling the Ogaden people not Ethiopians not Somalia, but Arab people? And if someone called these hypocrites “ARABS” who is going to be blamed? Me? I didn’t say it, ONLF said it. How come Hakim didn’t get furious at his leader when he said Ogaden are Arabs while brother Mr, Hakim is furious to get angry at us for calling them secessionists? Isn’t what Ethiopians called it Defar/DerQ or Nerve! The above picture is the leader of ONLF who stated that Ogadenians are Arabs. Lord have mercy! Allah Wa Akbar! Really! Really, really this is the untold sickness that Hakim and his leaders need treatment for and the treatment is ‘go to the truth than expect the truth to come to him and to his leader’. He even said it on his speech, saying “When we are politician we don’t tell the truth! We do everything makeup. The makeup is what? In this case either we are lying to our selves or we are lying to the public. When we do unusual it backfires.” I said “Go straight to God and Dump it right!” as they say. This is hypocrite blaming internet commentators and chat room guests, Ethiopian communities as scapegoat for his secessionist policy. Is this not the fact that Mr. Hakim is repeatedly talking about the meaning of FACT! FACT! FACT in his microphone? Why should Ethiopians be blamed for his claiming and changing identity from being Ethiopian to an Arab? How can Habesha as Mr. Hakim want us to believe while his organization’s leader is calling himself be “Arab”? This is sickness not politics! What is the matter with you! Where is the fact, fact, fact you were talking about? Why would people break off from their own country or deny or change their identity/race just because Meles or Mengistu or the king abused them? This is exactly why I say the people don’t demand secession, the elite teach secession!!! I hope the ONLF leaders and their supporters come to the truth than to blame anyone for their deluded demand. I am hoping these elements of secession realize that disintegration society can’t guarantee any hope or milk and honey to the hungry people or democracy to the abused. Regarding the Issue of Changing Flag People in Ethiopia are suffering. Even Mr. Hakim admitted that it is not only Ogaden but also the entire country is suffering and abused by government. But, I said it is not only the government, but also by the hand of these elites of Liberation Fronts. It is saddening and is also obvious no one is accountable for the pain and suffering of the poor community in Ethiopia in Ogaden and elsewhere that these elites contributed a greater share of abuse. They caused direct or indirect for pain within the society without any accountably or fear God. Holding that Microphone in that conference, none of them wanted to admit their share of responsibility in sustaining the suffering. They only target the government as the escape goat to their similar crime, what the so-called government has done or doing. When you hear the Liberation Fronts such Mr. Hakim of ONLF from Ogaden, literally, blaming you all the Ethiopians for not approaching the ONLF or to the similar OLF (secessionists), for not coming to their rescue, strangely at the same time themselves waving artificial flag by despicably disrespecting the national flag of Ethiopia claiming they are not Ethiopians at the same time orally claiming they are “Ethiopians” but their leaders are telling us they are Arabs. And still YOU the Ethiopian are being blamed because you call them secessionists!!! They change flag, in reality they are not better than the “flag changer” (name given by EDU while I was in Sudan to TPLF) called GOVERNMENT when they disrespect the national flag for replacing the national flag. If they throw the Ethiopian flag to the ground as if the flag is responsible for their abuse/claim, how do we feel against these elements of “FLAG CHANGERS”? Flag is the people’s symbol. Who are the people; we are referring them as PEOPLE? “The farmers, mothers, elders, young, old, beggars, even infants and coming generation, Muslim and Christian and animist, in general all citizens”. If we agree with this, and if we agree that flag belongs or owned as a symbol to the citizens of Ethiopia how can the “PEOPLE OF ETHIOPIA” be responsible for their (ONLF/OLF) abuse? Beggars are proud of Ethiopian flags regardless their misery because they have attachment to her (to the flag) as Ethiopian citizens, as their symbol and identity regardless poor or rich. If that flag was the symbol and identity of all citizens how can the beggars and farmers be blamed for Ogaden or Oromo abuse and get in the way replaced by other artificial (elite made) flag for hate reason? What else is there except hatred when one changes identity and flag, insulting and trashing the identity of the Ethiopian farmer’s flag that had nothing to do with their abuse? Flag doesn’t abuse, government abuses, government is not flag, because government is not permanent, flag is regardless who stays, comes or goes in power, it is permanent! One can change his faith or religion, but not the flag. As long as we agree with such basic issues the rest is easy to come out and talk the issue- if talk is what they want. But how can we talk when they hate the property, the life, the pride, identity of the poor (the flag!),? That flag is not owned by Mengistu, Meles or Haileselassie or any one. It is the people- the farmers, beggars, identity for rich and poor of all the citizens of Ethiopia (abused or not abused by governmental system). If so, one has no business to hate farmers and the people for any reason what so ever! Based on what reason was the flag to be disrespected and replaced as if flag to be accountable for abuse perpetrated by blood thirsty tyrannical regime? This blatant lie that says “Ethiopia flag abuses us” slogan must stop immediately or else you are all criminals not better than the GOVERNMRENT you are all blaming for abuse or for national crime. My advice to my brothers and sisters in the Ogaden Liberation Front is 'PLEASE, do not mislead the poor mothers and sisters and elderly community leaders by teaching them they are MUSLIM ARABS knowing you are committing a crime on humanity and identity. Introduce yourself and get familiar yourself to the nation’s flag we will approach and talk- otherwise, you are committing a national crime. If one have interest in Ethiopia and its flag, show me waving it- I will love you, though my love of you as fellow Ethiopians never stop regardless you hate Ethiopia, the beautiful!//-/

The Deluded Elite of the Liberation fronts

The Deluded Elite of the Liberation fronts

(Commentary on the Atlanta Conference) (Part I)

By

Getachew Reda

Ethiopian Semay

My apology to my readers for that I am addressing my commentary in English rather than to use our language to be readable for those delusional Arabic or English-speaking Liberation Front elite leaders in Ethiopia who claim not to understand or refuse to speak and read Amharic (the Ethiopian national language). So here follows my commentary on the Atlanta Conference of the ONLF, OLF and Ginbot 7, in the hopes that they can read me.

This commentary is long and I ask readers to bear with me. I am happy that you are all here to read my commentary. I need all of you to focus on the lies and distortion they tried to make you believe, examining them closely to see the deceit, based on what they say, and, on the contrary, what their program says.

Listen carefully brothers and sisters, I am not shooting a gun like them at your families or your flag or your country Ethiopia, I am talking to you through my pen, therefore, you are welcome to shoot a response commentary for this paper just as I am doing it, excluding guns and bullets aside.

Last night, while surfing the internet I saw a head line at Ethiomedia.com reading “ONLF, OLF and Ginbot 7 discussing issue in Atlata”. I said, okay, hoping to hear something new never heard. I opened the audio video posted and listened attentively from each speaker. All, were hypocrites as usual, either targeting the ETHIOPIN PEOPLE or letting free themselves from any accountability for their claim (whatever their complaint).

  First I will briefly quote and my arguments based on observation on the ONLF representative’s speech I listened from Mr. Abdu Abdul Hakim in relation to his Ogaden people and Ethiopia.

 Though the fellow is a bit moderate than the right wingers of his group, I found his speech hypocritical in many ways. He seemed to suggest there is a common problem, including with his own organization, for not coming together to form a union with the Ethiopian opposition. In that regard, I applauded him. But he still seemed to run away quickly from explaining the reason why his organization is fundamentally responsible for not coming together with the Pro-Ethiopian opposition.

We need to examine this together. He need also himself examine the weakness of his own organization in detail to tell the public than to dismiss it in one word as described by him “everybody’s fault”. Surprisingly he did not limit himself there, but also accused others for not coming to ONLF or approaching the OLNF to share its claim (problem)!

Well, I disagree and before accusing the PEOPLE who he referred to “YOU the PEOPLE” to approach his organization, he needs to tell his organization first not to run away from Ethiopia and Ethiopian identity before anything else! I shall briefly explain this later.

Here we start: -

 Here is what Mr. Hakim’s speech addressed to the public during the conference, VERBATIM, I just quoted it the way his addressed to the audience. (I have inserted some “word/s” in some of the sentence to define it better, but no significant change to his word/sentence).

He spoke:

“I am happy to be here, it was tough to organize this conference, and there is something to learn here – give them hand to those made this conference possible. I am from Ethiopia Ogaden. I think some neighbors think Ogaden is in Somalia, what do you think? (The audience clapping their hands or laughing) - …I came here since 1981, never go back. The call keeps coming, my family keep calling, something is wrong…. ” (He is trying to describe the terrible situation in Ogaden under TPLF rule.)

Then he continued his speech in the following quoted speech to describe the disunity of Ethiopian people, saying

 “…this is OLF, this Amhara, this is Ogaden... this State that State… they divide us…if you don’t come to the truth …..this is the invisible war divided us, if you don’t tell yourself the truth, the truth is not going come to you; you have to go to the truth, this is the fact dividing us. I call this invisible wall. Among the Amharas there is a division, you must admit that each other referring  “this is Gondere that is Showa…how we challenge the government if we are talk and refered each other this way? These are what people must know, avoid such calling. Why are we divided? “OH! THE OGADEN & THE OROMO ARE SECCESIONISTS.”

 Mr.Hakim continuing his speech; -

“We don’t have individual rights, group rights. We do not have anything. If you do not have anything at list you have to go one step ahead of yourself. That is what we should do! When we are politician, we don’t tell the truth! We do everything makeup. The makeup is what? In this case either we are lying to ourselves or we are lying to the public. When we do unusual it backfires…”

Then said;-

“If we don’t tell the truth to each other right now, we will fight each other later and further divide. Because we are lying to each other. …People are hungry from Ogaden to Gojam to Wolle everywhere and they are fighting each other, and they hate each other, WHY? Because it is nonsense! We are not telling the truth. …Because we unite without unity. We talk about ETHIOPIA! ETHIOPIA and none of us … but, you have to see the invisible war at home and here …The Ogaden people are dying by the Weyane /government, we are victims really. If you people really care about Ogaden, they need your advocacy! They need your voice to tell them stop killing the Ogaden people, because they are the people of the future…”

 “…If I talk about Amhara, the same thing, if I talk about Oromo the same thing, Benshangul the same thing. All people are suffering equal not us alone. We are tribes, we are… but we have common interest. What is the interest? Ethiopia! (Audience applauded/clapping their hand) If somebody comes to their area (and abuse them, kill their family…) what happens? They will fight back! That is what happens to the Ogaden and OLF, whatever you want to call them “secessionist” they must live their life, because somebody is telling them what to do in their life. This is the fact. ”

 Continued deep speech into history of religion in Ogden saying:

“…that Islam was first appeared as religion in Ogaden before the MEDINA (Mecca) and his other claim that Ahmed Negash (in Tigray) was in Harrar as a king before he goes to Tigray /Axum as a king (?), the claimed to give people of the Ogaden “FREEDOM”- as concluded his speech, saying “we are (Ogaden people the number one Habesha for three thousand years! “

Now, let us go and inspect his speech in brief what we heard above in the Atlanta conference *(such a conference was not needed- just to remind Hakim or others preaching us this event is a groundbreaking first of its kind. I like to remind him that such conference has happened also before when Obang and the rest were involved there, even though Hakim seemed to forget it) .

 Let us first ask why Mr.Hakim of Ogaden Liberation is asking the Ethiopian people or the opposition to take responsibility for his claim of secession. Here is his general conclusion that I love, (funny). Curiously, he said “YOU HAVE TO SHOW ME …” said Mr. Hakim;

I am here obliged to ask back “what do you want us to show you?

His response according to his speech was

“that you are with the Ogaden people. And I replied “who told you we are not with Ogaden people?” He continued “if you are going to tell them they are secessionist ‘THEY WILL GO TOMORROW’.

When the Ogaden people are respected, you will see things moved and changed. Go each of you look at the internet and chat room, “WE ARE SECESSIONIST, WE ARE BAD PEOPLE” “GUYS THEY WANT OUR LAND THEY DON”T NEED US!” said brother Mr.Hakim.

Doesn’t the fellow sound like the Eritreans when he said they wanted our land, they do not want us”? Do you remember when I react about this exact slogan on Zega magazine published in Ethiopia/Addis Ababa in regard to Eritreans talking the same slogan to us? I wrote in Amharic saying “When we said they are our brothers, they denied that we are brothers/sisters, when we said, okay, you deny we are blood brothers and sister, but this is also our port and our land, they said , “guys, they do not want the people of Eritrea, but only the land and the port” And I concluded (this was in response to Meles talking on their behalf-) “The hell with you, don’t bother us any more about Eritrea –in the Axum Tigringa “AYWANIN NAN (not our business anymore!) Aite Meles!” I wrote. Yes, now Mr.Hakim is sounding like them!!! DÉJÀ VU!!

Mr. Hakim’s focus seemed to demand an attention and expect a request for forgiveness from THE PEOPLE OF ETHIOPIA or THE OPPOSITION. This is a hypocrite at worst kind. If the OLF and Ogaden Liberation Front are not secessionists, what are they? I don’t care what he said in the microphone, his party program reads as clear evidence to be called SECESSIONIST. Not only secessionists, but they called themselves ARAB MUSLIM PEOPLE! Here is Ogaden Chairman Admiral Mohamed Omar Osman leader of the ONLF what he has to say about his organization, about Ogaden people and its race affiliation:

Stating it as;-

 “* Ogaden tribe region is “one of the last occupied Arab territories in the 21st century.” – ONLF Chairman said * “There are no noticeable schools. Moreover, there are no hospitals in the region” * “If these groups (Al-Shabab) are fighting against Ethiopia, then we have a common enemy. “ * “Tribalism is not among the principles of the ONLF” * “The Ogaden people are an Arab Muslim people” Admiral Mohamed Omar Osman, leader of the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF), (Source Somal Swiss Community/Somalida Switzerland “ONLF leader claims Ogaden are “Arab people” under Ethiopian occupation.

http: Somaliswisstv.com interview with Asharq Al-swak- source Los Angeles Times).

 Let me give one more evidence that Ethiopia is presented as colonialist and occupier and what the Ogaden leader answers to the following question from the interview.

Asharq Al-Awsat-

Question-

What are the political and military conditions in the Ogaden Region?

Answer

[Osman]:-

 First, the region is in a state of war to liberate it from the Ethiopian occupation. Our struggle has achieved important successes, and our friends are increasing every day. (The entire above interview can be obtained http://somaliswisstv.com/2009/10/17/onlf-leader-claims-ogaden-are-arab-people-under-ethiopian-occupation/)

Ladies and Gentlemen; - there you go! Now how Mr.hakim in Atlanta can accuse us for calling ONLF the secessionist as if they are not secessionist? His leader and its program is calling Ethiopia (not the government, but Ethiopia-mind you readers!) as occupier! And yet, we are to be blamed just because we commented based on their identity and program on which they called themselves not Ethiopian, not Somalia, but ARAB MUSLIM PEOPLE! Are you following me people?

Where in the hell is Ogaden in Ethiopia where Arab Muslim People live? Can Mr.Hakim explain to me why in the world his organization calling the Ogaden people not Ethiopians not Somalia, but Arab people?

 And if someone called these hypocrites “ARABS” who is going to be blamed? Me? I did not say it, ONLF said it. How come Hakim did not get furious at his leader when he said Ogaden are Arabs while brother Mr, Hakim is furious to get angry at us for calling them secessionists? Isn’t what Ethiopians called it Defar/DerQ or Nerve! When we hear such blatant accusation against us the Ethiopians?

The above picture is the leader of ONLF who stated that Ogadenians are Arabs. Lord has mercy! Really! Really, really this is the untold sickness that Hakim and his leaders need treatment for and the treatment is ‘go to the truth than expect the truth to come to him and to his leader.’

He even said it on his speech, saying

 “When we are politician, we don’t tell the truth! We do everything makeup. The makeup is what? In this case either we are lying to ourselves or we are lying to the public. When we do unusual it backfires.” Said Mr. Hakim;

 Well, well, I said “Go straight to God and Dump it right!” as they say. This is hypocrite blaming internet commentators and chat room guests, Ethiopian communities as scapegoat for his secessionist policy. Is this not the fact that Mr. Hakim is repeatedly talking about the meaning of FACT! FACT! FACT in his microphone?

Why should Ethiopians be blamed for his claiming and changing identity from being Ethiopian to an Arab? How can Habesha as Mr. Hakim want us to believe his claim being Ogaden as Habesha for 3000 years while his organization’s leader is calling himself an “Arab”? This is sickness not politics!

What is the matter with you! Where is the fact, fact, fact you were talking about? Why would people break off from their own country or deny or change their identity/race just because Meles or Mengistu or the king abused them?

This is exactly why I argue, the people don’t demand secession; the elite calim and teach secession!!! I hope the ONLF leaders and their supporters come to the truth than to blame anyone for their deluded demand.

I am hoping these elements of secession realize that disintegration society cannot guarantee any hope or milk and honey to the hungry people or democracy to the abused.

Regarding the Issue of Changing Flag People in Ethiopia are suffering. Even Mr. Hakim admitted that it is not only Ogaden but also the entire country is suffering and abused by government. But, I said it is not only the government, but also by the hand of these elites of Liberation Fronts. It is saddening and is also obvious, that, no one yet as we speak is accountable for the pain and suffering of the poor community in Ethiopia in Ogaden and elsewhere that these elites contributed a greater share of abuse.

 They caused direct or indirect enormous  pain to Ethiopia without any accountably or fear to their creator. Holding that Microphone in that conference, none of them wanted to admit their share of responsibility in sustaining the suffering. They only target other party, such as the flag, or the country or kings Emperors or a given ethnic for their claim (abuse/injustice) while themselves are responsible or for doing similar or worst claim (abuse).

 Ironically, when you hear the Liberation Fronts such as Mr. Hakim of ONLF from Ogaden, literally, blaming us (to all the Ethiopians) freeing his ONLF as democrat and a genuine (while his ONLF leader preached to side with Al Shabab- the most fearful group), for Ethiopians not coming to their rescue (though we never stopped be voice for the people of Ogaden as they are part of our people) .

Strangely at the same time, ONLF is waving artificial flag by despicably disrespecting the national flag of Ethiopia claiming they are not Ethiopians, but Arabs.

At the same time orally claiming they are “Ethiopians” but their leaders are telling us they are Arabs. And yet and still, you (the Ethiopian) are being blamed because you call them secessionists!!! how strange! Is not it?

They created a new flag contrary to the national flag of Ethiopia. they are the “flag changer.” If they throw the Ethiopian flag to the ground as if the flag is responsible for their abuse/claim, how do we feel against these elements of “FLAG CHANGERS”?

Flag is the people’s symbol. Who are the people; we are referring them as PEOPLE? “The farmers, mothers, elders, young, old, beggars, even infants and coming generation, Muslim and Christian and animist, in general all citizens”.

If we agree with this, and if we agree that flag belongs or owned as a symbol to the citizens of Ethiopia how can the “PEOPLE OF ETHIOPIA” be responsible for any abuse when individual leader or group of leaders/gangs in power or armed with rifles are the cause for whatever abused is claimed?

Even “Beggars” are proud of Ethiopian flags regardless their misery, because they have attachment to her (to the flag) as Ethiopian citizens, as their symbol and identity regardless poor or rich. If that flag was the symbol and identity of all citizens how can the beggars and farmers be blamed for Ogaden or Oromo abuse and get in the way replaced by other artificial (elite made) flag for hate reason?

What else is there except to call it hatred to the people and to the country when one changes identity and flag than never was on their way for success? insulting and trashing the identity of the Ethiopian farmer’s flag that had nothing to do with their abuse is strange ignorance?

Flag doesn’t abuse, government abuses, government is not flag, because government is not permanent, flag is regardless who stays, comes or goes in power, it is permanent! One can change his faith or religion, but not the flag.

 As long as we agree with such basic issues the rest is easy to come out and talk the issue- if talk is what they want. But how can we talk when they hate the property, the life, the pride, identity of the poor (the flag! ),?

That flag is not owned by Mengistu, Meles or Haileselassie or anyone. It is the people- the farmers, beggars, identity for rich and poor of all the citizens of Ethiopia (abused or not abused by governmental system) waived for hundreds if not thousands of years in that land.

If so, one has no business to hate farmers and the people for any reason what so ever! Based on what reason was the flag to be disrespected and replaced as if flag to be accountable for abuse perpetrated not by the flag, but by blood thirsty tyrannical regimes?

 This blatant lie claiming “Ethiopia flag abuses us”; such ludicrous slogan must stop immediately or else one is telling its sheer political ignorance.

My advice to my brothers and sisters in the Ogaden Liberation Front;-

 '’PLEASE, do not mislead the poor mothers and sisters and elderly community leaders by teaching them they are MUSLIM ARABS” knowing you are committing a crime on humanity and identity. Introduce yourself and get familiar yourself to the nation’s flag we will approach and talk- otherwise, you are committing a national crime.
