Ethiopian children will never realize their dream by fearing at each other. We all shall overcome our differences in order to bring justice for all and to tell those who are blocking us by telling them 'even though you are trying to stop us from solving our own problem, please go back to the Soviet history and learn that tore the Berlin Wall down.' When decades of sufferings from mistrust and oppression spilled out of the tress hold, there is no force except God that can know how to stop it. If one is trying too hard to stop this reality, he or she can only makes it worst. So please let us all support this Alliance and go forward. Can we all learn each other?
One's party policy and program in a particular time can not really give absolute guarantee to achieve its goal. Changes have to be made when the going gets tough. OLF and others will do the same too. I am sure we all know how the TPLF history was and is. The very minority group of people thought of themselves over time on how to rule and survive in the very large and majority group of society. They are surviving by telling us the old system was the real problem for Ethiopia. They are trying us to think the future problem will be solved if their development agenda is continued to be fed by foreign aides. The rest just live it to us they are telling us.
The only way the power full, the West, will be stopping to ignore us, I mean us the real change in Ethiopia now, is when we give them space between us to squeeze us. Let us tell them, this dividing us is making a safe guard in your national interest first agenda. May God bless this alliance through change of minds! Ethiopia shall start real change based on involving all her children. Her children then should realize living together is much easier than living separately. This is not a marriage divorce that can be settled by separation. Hence living together is the best solution, to share, love, trust, understand, and listen to one another is needed more than ever. If our parents and grand parents afford to do it in the old days, why can't we? We supposed to find better solutions to continue to live together, with better lives in the Twenty first century than in the Nineteenth!
