But ,there are certain points of yours which are unncessarily and arguably highly subjective and not constructive. Let me make myself clear:

= I do not think it is desirable for you to start your comment with kind of redudent and jargonized adjuctives ( illegal, unethical, imprudent,un-Ethiopian,…) Do you, as an a highly qualified inellectual believe that this type of highly negative and inflamatory wordings are what we should expect from you? I strongly argue that it is very difficult to communicate your readers and convince them that you are genuinely interested to help us resolving the case in such a way that it won’t be a more divisive incident. I think it is the responsibilities of intelectuals ( functionally) to approch an issue responssibly and objectively, and most importantly to narrow the gap ,not to make it more wider and unmanagable.

= Iti s great to read your impression about the tradtional great values of Ethiopians. But,I am afraid that your way of conclusion in this specific remark sounds a bit odd and highly simplisitic. Because I do think using this kind of very generalized comaprison with out any qualification seems misleading. I do not know why and how you want to go this much far to justify the very isolated case ( Mengistu’s stories )

= I agree with you that the individual or individuals were supposed to take the interest of the publisher instead of colonel Mengistu”s ruthless behavior and action before they post the Satanic Story ( the book of the colonel).But It is absolutely absurd to argue that this incident will “strengthen Mnegistu’s credibility.”I do not know what kind of credibility or trustywrothiness are talking about. Dear professor, with all due respect, it is only the innocent people of Ethioia who had suffered the untold suffering that can tell who is credible and who is terribly the killer of a generation and the truth itelf,not you. So, do not worry about the question of who is credible and who is not.

= Is it not a kind of insulting generalization to the innocent people of Ethiopia to tell them that they are” nilifying and defaming one another ….” because of the wrong doings of an individual or few individuals??? Didn’t you have any other wording or phrasing to express your sympathy to the publisher??

= I am very critical of the wrong doing or you call it crime . But I am sorry to say but I have to say that you have gone unnecessarily too far in the name of supporting the publisher. Why didn’y you stick to that particular issue and help the situation settled down ??

= I do not think you should be worried about who is going to publish the publications of EPRP.

Eventhough the local EPRP cadre, a bunch buffons might not Clearly know what they are doing, but the leadership should have been pulling the plug for TPLF.

EPRP’s leadership has been using these gullible mostly uneducated EPRP cadres to play this dangerous game of Woyane propaganda and divide and conquer.

Now, EPRP leader in living Paris in such luxury has to be a Woyane agent, as he labors day and night in writing some poisonous pills to find ways to divide Ethiopians. In most cases, these EPRP leaders want to control everything and if they can not, they try to destroy.

EPRP leadership is a Woyane plant and agent provocatour.
