California time, went in to listen the above mentioned Pal Talk room. What I
heard was shocking. My soul could not believe such a room with a name
possessing Professor Asrat’s name or dedication to Professor Asrat’s
contribution and mission doing the
adverse of what Professor Asrat’s mission and interest was.
An
individual by the name Menze or similar nickname to that effect, was in the
business of attacking the entire Tigrayan population viciously spewing hate
speech. I do not want to repeat it here that his ignorant, nasty and racist
vocabularies and accusations against our Tigrayan parents, peasants, and
mothers that he was notoriously attacking and labeling them mercilessly under
animal nature. In short, it was ugly and worst racism in its worst kind. Could
this fellow be the same Menze that many years back he was on video urging
people to kill every Tigrayans with mach
(Kibrit Esat Eyelekosachih Fijuwachew) ? or could he be a different Menze….?
You
all remember, It is this room where I was invited to respond to some Nazi type
racists hatched all over the opposition Pal Talk rooms after I comment against
them on the media few years back for attacking Tigray population. Now,
shockingly to my surprise, today I was hearing the same racism and
dehumanization of entire Tigray population mercilessly in this Pal Talk room.
I
have witnessed some similar incidents In the past, though, I was not taking it
seriously in the hope it might get better, or the Admin might take steps to
correct such unpleasant move, it seemed got worst by the day. I irregularly
visited that room and hear some unpleasant speeches here and there; but as I
said above, I was hoping it will get better. Unfortunately, I observed the room
was becoming completely losing its roadmap slowly to reach up to this label.
This
room was established (at least as I imagined it), to create harmony among
Ethiopian society and defense the Amhara society from power abusers, such as
from TPLF, OLF and other criminals, not to create animosity and war and
conflict with the entire Tigray population. At least Professor Asrat would have
object this room if he was alive and hear such racism against Tigray population
in his name.
As I
just arrived few minutes, this fellow was constantly dehumanizing our Tigrayn
mother and fathers (including my parents) . He called the entire population as
“Snakes” Tigrayan parents who taught their kids to be criminal, cruel,
murderers, mercenaries, KimenNoch, Leboch, no decent culture, society with no
history of moral………. All Tigrayans are all the same and one, ,,,, So many nasty, rude and unpleasant vocabularies with no
restriction.
I
tried to be patient, the more I listen to his nasty and demonizing speeches and
the reaction of the members; most of the audiences seemed to enjoy it. That was
the time, I openly told the fellow to stop by writing on the board. I ask the Admin (Mr.Felege Asrat) by writing
a text on the board to stop the fellow from continue. He seemed to enjoy it
also and gave me “RED” after I wrote my name openly told the audience on the
board who I am, in the hope the Admin or the Mr. Menze shrink back from such
hateful speech. Unfortunately he was supported by many of them.
Another
fellow by the name “KURATE “started to defend him. Others followed to defend
him. That was the time I repeatedly ask the room to restrain such stupidity.
The Admin seemed to enjoy it and gave me RED and bounced me out.
Are
these individuals indeed for Amhara defense or they are there to create a
conflict between Tigre and Amhara in the name of Amhara? I am a bit suspicious
that this room is hijacked by hateful elements or underground TPLF (who knows
who else to derail its roadmap) completely eroded with emotion not guided by
rational elements.
I
was shocked one day in particular, when the respected politician and historian
and author of many books Ato Tekle Yeshaw was attacked in this room repeatedly.
But, I took it lightly in the hope they will correct such rude behavior. But,
now, this room can’t even distinguish between “people” and “organization”. I am
sick of many diffrent elements spewing hate in the name of Ethiopia/Oromo/Amhara/Tigre….
Is there at all discussion how to solve the crisis or are the solution is simply
grabbed with emotion and spewing hate speech? This will not help the Amhara
population. In fact this can be dangerous to Ethiopia’s survival if such
hooligans attack to a segment of Ethiopian population called Tigray people.
How
can they defend Amhara when they are attacking the entire Tigre
population? How are the Amhara going to
live with Tigre in the future when such nasty and hateful and irresponsible
elements are advocating hate and conflict? I have observed hateful forums are
become popular forums with some 400 and even more audiences in them. This room
never went up beyond 50,. The only highest number of participants showed was
during my interview over 300 or more people. Some said they could not able to
get in to listen to my interview, because it was full. Could it be this reason why genuine
individuals are not massively participating in this room or any other reason?
Who knows why!
Let us restrict our self from contaminating
the Amhara farmers and Tigrayan farmers with hate to create conflict and
disunity. If such hateful elements allowed continuing spewing hate on media,
Ethiopia population will be like Somalia. But, do such hooligans and racists care?
No, they do not care, because they live comfort in the Diaspora and none of the
bullets or disturbances will reach these ignorant bustards to where they
comfortably live. We have seen this with
hateful Oromo secessionists and we are now looking at a new hateful group
against coming out. When I support Amhara organizations, I do not mean hateful
elements. I want genuine elements like the Amhara Moresh Wogene lead by Ato
Tekle Yeshaw, not such nasty and hateful elements. These have to be confronted
and challenged if they do not restrain their gullible character in the near
future.
I hope they openly apologize and move on to be
accountable for their credibility and cooperate with the rest of us as I always
cooperate for genuine cases and with genuine elements. I am afraid, If such
elements of racism gave a space to broaden the existing atmosphere of tense, then
our people and country will face more deep problem in the future difficult to
solve.
Our
culture is already eroded by subversive groups. Preaching hate is the main tool
of subversive agents. The people and the country will not survive when the
country accepts subversive agenda of hate to create destabilization.
Next two weeks two important
issue under my weekly commentary will posted. One is Unique commentary for
Fasika and the other article will deal the Shaabiya Ginbot 7/ESAT Vision for
Ethiopia, which is simply full of fake. Such presentation was the other new way
of introducing fake individuals or our future abusers.
You all remember that the cartographers
that drafted our present tribal dismemberment map, almost a copy of the Fascist
colonial map drawn by Mussolini in 1936, was sponsored and backed by the CIA,
OLF and TPLF. Still these elements particularly OLF is the main front
participant of the “Vision Ethiopia” presented by two eloquent Oromo crooks
advocating for the same tribal map and Latin fonts to be used for Oromo
population when writing. Not to our
surprise, they were also supported by Mesay Kebede (the Philosopher!) to
sustain the tribal map drawn by Mussolini in the future Ethiopia. We will visit
one more time again how the subversers are trying to keep the OLF/TPLF tribal
map/Kilil for the future Ethiopia under our new future rulers.
