LETTER

"Historical Wounds"
By Haile Gabriel Negatu
January 28, 2004
Dear Dr. Mennasemay,

I came across your writing on "Historical Wounds and Democracy" on "Ethiomedia" website. I copied and read carefuly. I was impressed by your logical and positive reasoning and your excellent mastery of the language you used.

We Ethiopians, have all to "mourn", "heal our historical wounds" and brace up to tackle jointly the great problems currently faced by our people and country. We should not be burdened and fragemented on account of what you referred to as "historical wounds". We should look forward and pull together to build a brighter, a just and prosperous future.

I congratulate you for articulating your views in a beautiful language and sharing it with us. My only advise would be, may be you should try to translate it into Amharic and circulate it widely so that many more Ethiopians would read, share, enjoy and be guided by your good advise.

With high regard and very best wishes,
Haile Gabriel Negatu
