It already became permanently deluded tradition. The night you take-off, it is a talk about the DV. He went to Liberia and blood money., is the talk. You would be greeted by the predators at the spot and arrival. There are three only and main places if you want to live in peace and no scrutiny. Seven-Eleven, Taxicab or cleaners’ job. Otherwise you are dead meat two ways and very elementary. The guy who might be told that you have $100,000 jiobs solicits it two ways. The predator scam from down and the racist stomp from up. They both had no chance of life tiome for generations. So what? Tell Clinton and the DC/MD/VA/CA scam ring to stop coaxing. That is how all of us were executed and muredered by the fearless claimants. If scrutinized in Seven Eleven and a PhD, you are anther dead meat, because the racist has to hoax you 24/7 to racketeers and/or just based on his fear. At the end of the day, $1 Billion would be lost to fraud, waste and abuse, as the data shows. Who really cares? God Bless China and it’s $1.4 Trillion in holdings.

Ethiopian opposition forces have to understand that nothing short of a formidable organization will enable them to be considered seriously. The US no doubt knows how undemocratic, abusive and unpopular the TPLF dictatorship is. But on the other hand it also realizes that an alternative organization capable of holding the country together and further being a positive factor for the region’s stability has not yet emerged. The Ethiopian opposition forces should therefore assist the US to be helpful by recognizing their shortcomings of the last 21 years and establishing a sustainable united front.

This may be easier said than done, but there is short cut. The fragmented Ethiopian opposition groups seeking US recognition should be cognizant of the capabilities of this super power. Its sophisticated diplomatic and intelligence institutions are not easy to manipulate.

The one thing I want to add is that the US doesn’t just wait until a group comes out as a winner. The US DOES play active roles to ensure the winner is the one it wants. Also, the US doesn’t like nationalists. I remember what I heard from NPR radio a few years ago, which said that, the US hated Saddam Husain not because of communist or religious concerns. It didn’t like him because he was a nationalist; he wanted to make Iraq grow. Similarly, the US sends money to TPLF to pay for its spies, its killing squad (the police and Agazi forces) and to bribe strong opposition leaders (Lidetu Ayalew comes to my mind) and weaken the unity of the opposition. Who knows if some of the current so called opposition leaders have the US backing behind the scenes?

Yours,

But what is totally lacking and makes the demand both banal and ineffectual is the living fact that all of these bickering, divided and unreliable oppositions totally failed to form viable alliances in the 21 long years of tplf dictatorship and through that again failed to present both to the Ethiopians and the world a viable and trust worthy alternative to be reckoned with.

In state to state mutual cooperation the US like any government chooses the stronger, trusted regional ally rather than the unknown, weak and divided bickering opposition. Truth hurts but it must be told truthfully otherwise we will keep dreaming in vain and betting on dead horses. Even the cia might have the dead body of meles in its refrigerator away from the reach any celebratory opposition just to make them dance in the rain as well as buying time for fixing the following friendly government who may accept grants and donations to do the business.
