Looking at the pictures of Abay Woldu and other TPLF senior members reminded me of the open letter I sent them 7 years ago and I never get a response from them.
Below is the title of the letter and the link to the letter:
“An Open Letter to the Chairman of the TPLF and Members of the TPLF Central Committee:
Wake Up! Your Ethnic-Based Apartheid Government has Made You the Prisoners of a Self-Destructive Future! Only Morally Righteous and Genuine Actions will Free You Now!”
Dear Abay Woldu and Members of the TPLF Central Committee;
I am writing this to you on behalf of the SMNE, a social justice movement of diverse Ethiopians; but foremost, I am writing to you as a fellow member of our Ethiopian family, of which you are also members.
When family members are in conflict is it not the responsibility of family members, especially the elders or those who care deeply about the well being of the entire family, to make every attempt to solve the problem?
Is it not far better to honestly address these deep conflicts since we share an identity, a land and a future?“ click at the link below to read the entire letter in English... (pdf)
Time is everything and it can determines more about your future and your legacy.
Who would have ever thought this day would come?
Most of often arrogant individuals don’t understand the reality of life to its core and they are always right and everybody else is wrong.
In other words too much arrogance always lead to self humiliation and destruction.
It is better to be humble and think about the wellbeing of all your citizens and your descendants than to be one of the arrogant.

Are the Ethiopians are learning from the vicious cycle of deception,one-tribe domination where the entire political system is built on a model of exploiting others,humiliation and destruction?
I hope most of our politicians will learn from our past to stop this cycle of oppression that constantly reshuffles victims into perpetrators and perpetrators into victims.
May God help us reclaimed our God-given identity of humanity and purposes that will make us a blessing to all our people, our neighbors and those beyond.
Remembering the Anuak Genocide. December 13, 2020 marks the 17th years anniversary of the Anuak genocide that began with the brutal massacre of 424 Anuak leaders and young students in less than three days, but continued for another two years.
On December 13, 2003, members of the TPLF/EPRDF military from the ENDF’s 43rd Division entered Gambella town and killed 424 Anuak.
The video below presents detailed and testimonies of the Anuak survivors
Today we clearly understand that the TPLF/EPRDF’s intent was to take over control of the land and natural resources from the #Anuak and other indigenous people in the #Gambella region.
The best opportunity for justice, freedom, peace, sustainable and meaningful success in #Ethiopia must be based on inclusive, principle-based change that protects and upholds the rights and interests of all Ethiopians
Much will be required from all of us #Ethiopians if we are to see justice, freedom, genuine reconciliation and healing become the pillars of a revived Ethiopian society.
Hope alone, without responsible action on the part of all our people, will not lead us to a better Ethiopia.
Instead, our hopes and dreams for a peaceful Ethiopia are fragile and without care, they can dissipate— devolve into something of lesser or no value— like the evaporation of water among thirsty people, leaving them all the more thirsty and despairing.
More than 11 years ago I wrote a Open Letter to my fellow Tigrayan brothers and sisters who were supporting the TPLF and no one took my advice serious.
What I have now learned is that most of the people, especially those who are benefiting from the regimes of the day always tend not to listen to the advice and learned from the history until it is too late. My advice to everyone is “Be willing to take advice”
Below is few paragraphs from that letter.
“June 11, 2009
Dear Fellow Ethiopian,
I want to address those Ethiopians who are Tigrayans, especially focusing on those who are benefiting from this regime (TPLF/EPRDF) at the expense of the majority of other #Ethiopians.
This is Gilo River in #Gambella region: The “Ever Green” Land Of The “People Of The Rivers.”
This region is known to possess many untapped resources.These include large deposits of gold and other minerals,as well as fertile land,ample water,rivers,forests and abundant wildlife.
In the past 30 years, the people of Gambella have been largely denied or otherwise illegally excluded from the utilization of these resources in their own region.
As a result, they have suffered egregious human rights abuses, forced displacement, politically based imprisonment, especially of leaders, the destruction or loss of land, property and infrastructure, as well as environmental degradation.
Ethnic federalism, “One tribe or one ethnic group rule all” system of government doesn’t work in the 21st century. #Ethiopian politicians and intellectuals must take former US President Barack Obama warned ⚠️ to the Kenyans VERY seriously.
President Barack Obama said "A politics that's based on only tribe and ethnicity is doomed to tear a country apart. It is a failure - a failure of imagination,"
Ethnic federalism and ethnic extremism can tear the beautiful country of Ethiopia a apart if Ethiopian politicians are not very careful about how to deal with it.
