Ethiopia: From Dictatorship to Democracy

March 5, 2012

Alemayehu G Mmariam:

Mahatma Gandhi first formulated the iron law of history for dictators: “There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall – think of it, always.”  Just in the past year we have seen Gandhi’s words come to pass as dictators fell like dominoes in the Arab Spring: Ben Ali in Tunisia got the boot after 24 years. Hosni Mubarak was thrown out and hauled into court after 32 years. Moamar Gadhafi in Libya was literally dragged out of the sewers, paraded in the streets and and executed with his own golden pistol. Ali Saleh ruled Yemen for 33 years and went into exile after suffering disfiguring burns and shrapnel injuries. Bashir al-Assad is running a slaughter house in Syria, and he will surely face the same fate as his brother dictators.

Ethiopia as a rubbish ordering

The embattled former oppressor boss of Yemen Ali Abdullah Saleh is going to settle in Ethiopia. Ethiopia will be his home in exile. Ethiopia was not his initial choice. He wanted to settle in Oman his neighbor on a West. The Sultan of Oman was not receptive to a idea. His try to go to a UAR was kindly rebuffed. Ethiopia is a retreat of final resort. We are being used as a dump. we am positively sensitive with that use of removing absolved of waste. Upon finishing a devise we always have left over debris. We routinely transport it to a open dump where they assign by a pound. The City creates additional bid to recycle a garbage.

ዜናን በጨዋታ፤ (ኖርዌይ “ነውር” ልትሰራ ነው አሉ!)

ከሀገራቸው በተለያየ ምክንያት ተሰደው የኖርዌይን መንግስት “እባካችሁ አስጠልሉን” በማለት ጥገኝነት የጠየቁ ኢትዮጵያውያን ስጋት ላይ ናቸው።

ስጋቱ ምን መሰላችሁ፤ የኢትዮጵያ መንግስት እና ኖርዌይ አንድ ስምምነት ተፈራርመዋል። ስምምነቱ “በደጅ ጥናት” ላይ የሚገኙ ስደተኞችን ወደ ሀገራቸው ለመመለስ ነው። ይህንን ውል ሀገራቱ በተፈራረሙ ግዜ ይህ አይነቱ ተግባር “ነውር” መሆኑን በርካታ የኢትዮጵያ ልጆች ተሰባስበው በተቃውሞ ሰልፍ ለማስረዳት ሞክረዋል። ነገር ግን ኖርዌይ ሆዬ፤ “ነውሩን” ከመተግበር ወደ ኋላ አልልም ብላለች አሉ።

በሀገራቸው ያለው “ሁኔታ” (በድፍኑ “ሁኔታ” እንበለው እንጂ እንዘርዝረው ካልን ስንትም ገፅ አይበቃንም…) እናም በድፍኑ በሀገራቸው ያለው ሁኔታ አላስኖር ብሏቸው የተሰደዱ ሰዎችን “ወግዱ” ብሎ ሸሽተው ለመጡት አካል ማስረከብ “በግዜሩም በሰዉም መንገድ የሚያስጠይቅ ጥፋት ነው” ሲሉ ስደተኞቹ የኖርዌይን ተግባር ነቅፈዋል።

ኖርዌይ ከማርች 16/2012 ጀምሮ ስምምነቱን ተግባራዊ ለማድረግ እየተሰናዳች ነው…

ታድያ “በመላው አለም ያላችሁ ኢትዮጵያውያን ይህንን ስራ “ነውር” መሆኑን ለኖርዌይ ንገሩልን” ሲሉ በ”ጭንቅ” ላይ ያሉት ስደተኞች አደራ ብለዋል። ማርች 12/2012 ሰብሰብ ብላችሁ በየአገራችሁ ላለው የኖርዌጃውያን ኤንባሲ ወይም ለየ ሀገራቱ ፓርላማ “አቤት” ብትሉልን ውለታውን ፈጣሪ ይከፍላችኋል።” ብለዋችኋል።

በኖርወይ የሚገኙ ኢትዮጵያውያን ሰደተኞች ታላቅ የተቃውሞ ስልፍ አካሄዱ

የድረሱልን ጥሪያቸውን አሁንም እያሰሙ ነው”
