“The very belief is by itself Anti Ethiopia and pro Ethiopia”

should be “The very belief is by itself Anti Ethiopia and *pro Tigray

Please tell us what TPLF stands for that is ruling Ethiopia today. Isn’t it based on pro Tigray ethnicity agenda? What does LF stands for, Liberation Front agenda. This government that still fully believes in such is the root cause of the problem. The very belief is by itself Anti Ethiopia and pro Ethiopia. So, how do you expect who have no regard for Ethiopia but Tigray region only expect to rule Ethiopia in fair and balanced manner? TPLF from its inception is anti Ethiopian, there is absolutely no patriotism of Ethiopia. Meles has said Ethiopia’s flag is a piece of rag. Imagine a Western president saying that to the flag of his country, he will be in treason probably will be sentenced to death or imprisoned for the rest of his life. So, people of the West, such party and Meles are ruling our beloved Ethiopia. Michael today blames Ethiopians being pro ethnic. TPLF had 2 decade to inject such evil belief of ethnic rule to divide and rule the country. You might ask now they got what they want why don’t they go? Well, they realize that through such manipulation, they are really getting fat in every sector you can think of economically. It is a sweet deal and they can’t avoid that therefore will do anything to stay in power and loot. I guess Michael forgot to tell you about that either.

Thank you Chris and David. Keep telling the truth about Ethiopia to the world!

Chris,
Thanks for letting out this movie to shine some light on the suffering of the Ethiopian people. The documentary like this may bring some clue to the many western states who are blind folded by the lies and misrepresentation of the current Ethiopian government. We can spend so much time agreeing or disagreeing on this documentary just because of our differences in ethnicity , race, level of understanding of various culture, however, one that can deny the equality of being human being is total ignorance. As an Ethiopian, i can say that, no government, in the history of that nation treated its people fairly other than its own ethnic group. Fortunately, Mengistu was the only dictator who did not discriminate power sharing based on just ethnicity. At least, when we have a government that rules its people by totalitarian and lead the country just based on ethnicity, we all should stand together and tell this is wrong. I hope we all come together to understand the suffering of the Ethiopian people and be able to lend some voice to the voiceless and spare some power to the powerless.

God bless

Being an Ethiopian, i can say that, no gevernment, in the history of that Thanks for letting out this movie to shine some light on the suffering of the Ethiopian people. I am not suggesting that we should continue to treat each other like that.

Also, when Flaherty says in the interview that Ethiopians are angry with CUD for making deals there was no deal. The imprisoned leaders were simply forced under duress to beg for pardon for their release. They signed a partial acceptance of blame for the killings conducted by Woyane. One of the four CUD leaders got scared of being in prison, succumbed and joined parliament to avoid prison. He is reviled for his actions. THat is all in a nutshell. Flaherty says “From what I have been able to access” there appears to be tremendous anger with the Coalition for Unity and Democracy Party. What did FLaherty have to “access” that led him to this very wrong conclusio? How can people be angry with a faceless party, either they are angry with CUD leadership and that would include Birtukan Berhanu Shawil and Lidetu (a.k.a. khidetu meaning traitor) or there are those that still support all 4 of these leaders albeit dissappointed the leaders of the four parties that formed CUD. If Birtukan enjoys tremendous support it then follows that the other former leaders of CUD do to. In any case whatever Flaherty “accessed” has yeilded incorrect info. The truth is CUD, the princples it stood for remains a beloved covenant amongst Ethiopians, not to mention the glorious victory of CUD in the not so distant collective memory of the nation. Because of its Victory, the victory that the author of this article, and Flaherty continue to deny or ignore. It was the Ethiopian people in Ethiopa who achieved that victory and they will defeat Woyane again by any means necessary with the Diaspora or without it.
