Hi Bire,
I am sorry for revealing your secret.
Yours, B.S.E
If there is one man who stands out as the best Ethiopian Politician of this decade, it must be Dr. Birhanu Nega. He is smart speaker, charismatic, scholastic and opportunist. If his resume and legacy stops here, I may hesitate to criticize him and vote for him again. Unfortunately, he add some more stuff (lies) in his resume and try to manipulate the public perception about him.
He is not only opportunist but also deceiver and coward. His well publicized September 2008 pledge to fight EPRDF (actually TPLF) in any way possible including armed struggle is one example. The pledge would be right if he said 'excluding armed struggle'. I have no problem with the new strategy but with Dr. Birhanu. He is the last person to talk about war for many reasons. Armed struggle is not in his DNA.
He is a quitter!
His autobiography tells us that this is not his first time to wish for armed struggle. He went to the wilderness with EPRP but couldn’t survive the desert. According to his close friends, "what bothers him most was the sound of a gun". Can you believe it?!. He doesn’t have the making of a warior.
He is coward!
When poor Birtukan Mideksa came to USA, he declined to join her. He hide him self. He didn’t say a word in any media out late. The reason why he ignored the call for joining Birtukan Mideksa in her fundraising and reorganization effort in USA was fear. According to his friends, he was undecided at that time. He was almost to decide to quit politics. But he couldn’t do it because he likes to keep his history clean. So, while ignoring Birtukan’s call, he was desperately looking for an excuse for his action. Finally he got a perfect excuse from a perfect opportunist Andargachew Tsege.
Andargachew come up with the Ginbot 7 scheme. This is a perfect opportunity for a cowardly Birhanu. He immediately joined Ginbot 7 as a co founder. He knows very well that he don’t like the sound of the gun but he like the excuse he might get from acting as a War lord.
He is now a criminal!
Due to the strategy he adopted only to stay in America [Asylum], his family and hundreds of Amhara's and Oromos in Ethiopia are now in Jail. He gave Meles Zenawi a legitimate reason to crack down the opposition in EPRDF and the Military. Only God knows how many people are languishing in TPLF's prison camps for being a supporter or pro Ginbot 7 tactics.
His third retreat!
Armed struggle is not a fun thing to talk about, especially in Ethiopia. We lived in it and we know the pains. It is also not easy for the Ginbot 7 ''warriors'' because it requires Military discipline. It requires to Kill, detain or scarifies your loved ones. There are also times that you yourself may need to be engaged in fight or killing. Here are the conditions for Dr. Birhanu's third retreat.
Conditoin one: If he is 'ordered' to go to the field to ....visit the few patriotic soldiers in Gondar.
Condition two: if he and Andargachew wont agree on serious stuff, and one has to take Military action on the other....Dr. Birhanu wont do it because he don't have the making of a Warior.
Think about what Meles did to his best allies Seye and Tamrat? Do you think Birhanu has this gut!. You can ask him and challenge his gut any time. He will definitely say yes!! Why not!!!! But if you pressed him hard his reaction will be to pretend as if he don't understand the question. He don't say a word until he find a perfect explanation 'why he wont do it'.
Dr. Birhanu Nega can not be a war lord. He can only be a Talk show host on ESAT. The theme of his show will be 'War is not the answer'. What do you think?
