The Political Drama of
Deception in Diaspora
Editorial
by Ethiopian Observer
Success
and failures have been seen in totality during our democratic
election, especially when we are not able to withstand the
onslaught of turbulence and mad acts of certain lunatic elements.
Every explosive situation have been foiled decisively and tackled
effectively and we thank for the security forces, who lost their
lives in line of duty to restore law and order to the nation. The
security of our nation should not be compromised at any rate.
The
recent ugly outburst by the diaspora group is a reflection of a
distorted mind; it is part of a large pathological illness and
shame. Despite the inflammatory statements and press releases by
the supporters of CUD, it couldn’t weaken the communal harmony
in the diaspora nor advance the cause of the bruised psyche of the
Derg ex officials. The dishonesty, intrigues and fraud is getting
thin by the day and no wonder, their political base is shrinking
so fast. Every dormant political group has been trying to fish in
troubled waters to get his way to grab power by fraudulent
methods, mobilizing mobs and trying to create a situation of
tragedy.
The
opposition parties one way or the other suffered from the lack of
prudent judgments. Particularly CUD with its diaspora mouthpieces
seem to suffer from the most sever form of malady by distortion of
facts and make believe deceptive political drama. They have proven
themselves to be incompetent in formulating sensible strategies
and tactics in the eyes of the Ethiopian people. What do we see in
the diaspora particularly in Washington DC? Rowdy scenes, yelling
and petitioning several Senators and House of Representatives to
strangle the Ethiopian economy by going against the basic interest
of the nation are among the efforts by these few dishonorable
elements. Nothing can be shameful than such ugly scenes. This type
of street politics is simply senseless acts of violence that could
spell disaster for any democratic polity.
The
virus of incompetence seems to have undergone rapid multiplication
during the election under the proclaimed leader Hailu Shawel and
turned into a plague of deception, making it almost incurable as a
permanent defect. It is too late now to save them from the
disastrous path that landed them in jail. No one is above the law.
When you break the law of the land, the law will bring you back to
your senses. The plague of deception in the diaspora has
penetrated deep in the minds of the chauvinist elites and
therefore quarantining the infected minds seems to be useless.
First
they milked the diaspora by providing fabricated sensational news,
which since then proved to be a total fabrication. The paid
mercenaries or beggars don’t have the slightest decency or
courage to reveal the truth to the public. It has distressed and
angered the true sons and daughters of the Ethiopian people. The
scars of division that was hatched up by these opportunist and
Derg foot solders will dissipate soon and the Ethiopian people is
more than ever ready and firm to expose their blatant deceptions.
The
diaspora racist mindset is a manifestation of an entire ex Derg
political discourse notion of social pathology. Those who are
spreading their venom cannot violently continue to assault our
people. Attacking, killing security forces as well as igniting
fire, on buses; shops and innocent Ethiopians will not advance the
cause of democracy. We don’t need Ethiopia to be ruled by forces
that are trying to take us into yesterday’s dark age. They might
take orders or sign declarations with the dictator Isayas of
Eritrea and to try to destabilize and harm Ethiopian interest but
they will fail miserably.
They
must realize that the Ethiopian government primary responsibility
is to stop aiding and abetting terrorism disguised under an
election mantra. The needs of the Ethiopian people at this time
are food, clean water, hospitals, schools, roads, industries,
medicine, etc. And these basic necessities will be accomplished
through the concerted efforts of our beloved people.
