Ethiopian politics isn't a nuclear bomb
By Hellen Kassu Mitto

" Don't get closed into Ethiopian politics ! ...Ethiopian politics is a nuclear
bomb ; it hurt you.....it kill you . It's dangerous , and just give your political opinion to Woyane's people !!... they have ability to fix it .... you.... stay a distance , nothing concern you about your country , and don't get involved ."

We have been heard or read this type of opinion from Woyanes and pro-Woyane's media on daily bases , especially after May 2005 National Parliamentary Election's . If politics could be that much beast - hey Woyane and Pro- Woyane's - where you been for about 15 years ? , and what are you doing in side the National palace ?.....We have seen friends who have been an active in supporting Woyane's become rich overnight , like magic . Who owns farms in fruitful countryside ?.....Who runs big hotels in several towns ?.....Like those an active restless cadre members , fake Church and Mosque bosses told us to shut up our mouths for a years . In other hand , real spiritual leaders decided to live in exile rather than cooperating with bloodthirsty shameless killers who gun down an innocent mothers and babies for their own private interests , I support real God servers.

People's who talks a lot about the kindness of Woyane's , don't want to talk about the killings , mass arrests , tortures and rapes that occurred during the last 15 years by Woyane's government. If you support Development , Peace , Human Rights , Democratic Election Process , but you don't want to criticizes Woyane's wrong doing on an innocent citizens , stop right there , go cave.

We need a political party leader who leads the people properly , peacefully , with out discrimination based on equality and unity. Gender , race , religion and political attitude should not be our divider. Ethiopia should not be sweet home for particular group and bitter for others . Ethiopia should not be real motherland for bunch of people and step motherland for the rest of the people . A political party leader who leads a country of 74 million people should not to be a country's problem every year , and don't say for us Ethiopian politics is a nuclear bomb !!!

"Kill as many and pick money" TPLF

By Hellen Kassu Mitto

People have talking about change - democratic change - in Ethiopia.
Addis Ababa,Wolega,West Shoa, East Shoa,Gondar,Gojam,Bale,Arsi,Harerge,Ogaden,Southern Ethiopia-throughout the Country people's have talking about change.Weekday...weekend...allday...allnight...talking,talking and talking peacefully about democratic change...Democratic rights. But nobody ready to listen them.Who should listen the people? Government !...TPLF government ? Forget about it !!! They are so busy. Stealing people's money is not easy job. Stealing people's vote is not easy duty.Building villas, G+2,3,4,5, transferring foreign aid from the poorest Country to the richest is not easy practice.Bank of Canada,Bank of Malaysia,NewYork Bank,we didn't know about those banks before. We hadn't any idea about those big financial institutions - thanks to our high level bunch of loser TPLF members - now days we have a little bit information about their account in those Banks.
Peaceful citizens were killed by the government gunmen with out any reason.Government officials were not made any arrest or investigate the case. Because they are so busy.As many corrupted and blood thirsty African leaders these guys don't waste a split of minute for their own citizens problem.Why ?....I said before..... they are so busy,and who cares about poor Ethiopia,Ethiopians,Democratic change,nonpartisan inquiry commission,freemedia,independent political organization,independent professional union,freedom of assembly and others?????????

TPLF's political program: Article 1 " Just kill as many and pick money" until what???.... May is coming again.....giving innocent chests for Fed police or Agazi's ........or what is next????????
