Dear Editor,
The Ethiopian Herald, the EPRDF-controlled English daily newspaper, published in its May 18 edition a news report obtained from Ethiomedia.com.
The report is published in the newspaper without distorting, and without putting their distorted comments at the end of the news item.
It is unusual to see that type of things in the EPRDF-controlled newpapers. It is my first exprience from the newpaper to see that type of news. The title given to the report was: "We will meet in Addis Ababa to celebrate democracy....in the near future - says Ana Gomeze". I don't think the newspaper intends to pass the message to the Ethiopian people.
But I suspect the TPLF may have some evil project in mind for publishing the news report as it appeared exactly on Ethiomedia. Who knows! They may use it to sue the democracy-lover Ana Gomez with the very-loved EPRDF crime, "attempting to disturb the constitutional order and attempt to overthrow the Democratic government". Or they may want to mislead the foreigners how the government medias are critical to the government. Or they may want to show Ana Gomez changed her mind and want to celebrate democarcy with the people of Ethiopia and EPRDF.
I wrote you this beacuse I am a bit puzzled.
Ewnetu M,
Addis Ababa
