On the other hand, I want to say that it is difficult to contiune writing and rewriting ,crying and recrying , theorizing and retheorizing , telling and retelling … about the very self-evident horrifying situation in our country. Just to make myself clear ,Your very topic of discussion ,”Meles Attacks the Amhara Peasants” you did not tell us news, leave alone some sort of critical analyis and what is the way forward. I do not think the people of Ethiopia are in need of telling and retelling horrible stories which they are terribly experiencing in their day-to day lives. Do’t you think it is desirable to make our discussions or writings at least half problem analysis and the rest half recommendations on how to solve problems? I am sorry to say but I have to say that most of us prefer talking or writing historical back grounds and discribing problems to the culture of coming to the discussion in a precis and brief manner about the problem at hand and recmmending desirable solutions.

For example, I strongly argue that one of the most important solution for the problem you have raised is the question of how to reach out the TPLF-controlled majority of the poulation( rural areas).How can we help (materially,financially, professionally and etc) those relatively democratic opposition forces in this regard?
Wolud it be possible to force the tyrannical ruling circle to end its miserable political game without forcing it to get down from the very shoulder of the majority (peasnatry)? Absolutely not! So why not we have a very hot and result-oriented discussion on the question of what is to be done? Yes, it is not easy,but it is absolutely necessary!

Have a wonderful time boddy!!
