Tegray will be the only victim if the will ever be onother rounds of war. The poeple of Eritrea and Tegray has suffered for too long that they hardly know what peace means. The young men and wome of Tegray and Eritrea are born during war, grew up in war, and for years Red is the only colour they were familiar with. Yes, red; the color of blood. For years, they have been refugees, and those who chose to stay on have been forced to be dependent on aid just to have a meal once a day. Ignorance has became their mark. Just how many schools were in Tegray untill the fall of Derg?
On the other hand, when one moves away towards the center of the country, you see poeple, young men and women, who never heard a sound of bullet, except of course in action movies. And they hardly been hungry or refugee. And to make the issue more worse, they claim to be the purest race. What an irony!
My point is, I don't really care if Badme goes to Eritrea or Ethiopia,I don't care is Ethiopia gets Asseb. I don't even care if Meles or Isseyas would be rulers forever. What I only care is, I will not let my kids to suffer the way I did. Enough is enough. WE, the Tegray poeple are not "Abraham's sheep", we are not going to sucrifice a single bloo so that the so called "pure race" can go and sweam on the shores of Red Sea.
I do agree with all the facts you try to view us about the fortune of Tigray. But what I don't agree with is your dismey message. Do you mean that Tigray was not and is not victimized by EPRDF itself starting from it's first day in power til this moment? You look as if you are among the beneficiary from the EPRDF and we know there many like you whom should worried these days. You don't you know that thousands died for the cause of the country's soverginity and they have fathers and mothers as you are to your children.
My god! I was laughing from heart when you say "enough is enough". Please say it this to your boss Meles, not to us or the public at large. ok?
And please being you live self in better than the Derg time, it doesnot mean that the Tigrean community at large is in better condition. You fool people, when you are full self stop assuming every body is so.
Where as concerning that you don't care about Badimme or Irob, it is the very expected stand from such people like you whom got sane with their stomach. So here to no one will be surprise
First of all, I don't see the need of any personal attacks in here. If u preach and defend democracy and good governance, you should start it by bieng example to me and to yourself. I am entitled to think and I earn the right to express what I feel right. We might differ in our opinions, but we need to respect eachother.
Second, don't miscite me. I didn't say that Ethiopia is better off with Meles. In fact, I said that I don't give a **** who leads the country. I think I know very well that Ethiopia had and has been into miserey as far as I possibly can remember.
What I said was that I don't like to see that onother Tegrayan fell on the nonsense battlegrounds. And, since I can't speak on behalf of the entire population in generall, I said I will not let my kids engage in some sort of over rated national interest. For me, national interest is peace, caz human life is the most precious thing on earth.
