Ethiopia has always been concerned of the value of international law. The region around us is like it is because of the anarchysm that exists in some of our neighbors. Had for example the the Somalis believed in rule of law there would be peace and a functioning somalia with its people living in peace. Thanks to EPRDF we have a peacefull nation, and the people have harmony among them. PM Meles has rejected the border decision in the bigining because som people in the border could opose due to emotions and short sighted sentiments, but now that people have understood that peace and international law is important to people PM Meles has accepted the decision by UN court "in principle". We have to be very proud for that. This is a demonstration the the Ethiopian people believes in international law. Even if Territories that belonged Ethipopia has become Eritrean now (Badme , Irob....), the Ethiopian people knows that it is the court that gave its verdict. And we are ready to transfer our adminstration to Eritrea. So we should not be emotional attached any more. I am very proud when I heard that the following institution has accepted the decision:
1) Tigray regional adminstration
2) Amhara regional adminstration
3) Oromo regional adminstration
4) Students of Addis Abeba Univeristy
5) Univeristy of mekele
6) All religion organization
7) Afar regional admistration
8) Members of the Aiga- Forum information service
This is what we call civilization and peace loving people and government.
I support you fully. Peace is more important. If we can not respect the law then how long are we going to fight? who will fight? for what reason? If the other side says the territory is mine and the international community and international law says yes it is yours, then when who will give us support? why sould they give us support? how could they give us support? When some day we want that others to respect the rule of law what will happen are we going to cry?
Lets work for peace and rule of law to gain respect. No one is loser every one wins if law is respected.
You Traitor who sold our sole for your stomach and telling us we are peace lover. If there was no peace the first people will eradicate from power is you. So you know that very well and you have been trying everything you could to sighn that garbage treaty inorder to buy you more time in power to steal our wealth and to feed your stomach, nothing else. Do not tell us about peace and war we know them all very well all Ethiopians. For the sake of peace(buying time for your and others like you) we refuse to sale our ancistors land period. Gabito you ass hole your brain is in your stomach, not in your head like the civilized society. You live like a donkey for your stomach. Wedi kelawi Kolo is in power now and forget his comrad and his father and sisters in Tigrai as long as he gets the Menze Teff and Ship meat every day. That's is you fought for seventeen years for your own stomach. I hope very soon your stomach will be garbage in a damp like a trash cane.
The international law is not from God. It is facilitated by human beings whom are bounded to self interest and failers. So the justification could be made we need to retalet and to reject any unjustifible decisions or marks made up on us. You don't react, don't expect the adjustments. They are upon us not upon the International offices. Because in most cases these offices are easy to accept to what has happened wheather things come through legality or illegality.
You just get to learn from our own history: Do you think the way Eritrea it self claims independance was through the Legal standards, rulls,and mandates of UN and AOU. Not at all. Though the claim was made by melles himself, and this covers to some of the missing conditions, there are many failers which could nullify the recognition of state hood. But no signle country was opposing ...
So what I would like to say to our fellow citizens is we get to unit as one person and shall voice together No! today and tommorrow so as we could see what could be the difference. Don't give dam to the one who don't give you at least attention,.... They don't want to listen to you while they should because they are saying that they are representing you, but they want you to lesson to them for their misdeads as usual. If there is the courage you get the legal right to stop them from any fabrication even. Fack off what ever they say, reject the decision now not tommorrow!!!
