This particular article doesn’t necessarily reflect ethiopianbloogers team viewpoint. It iss solely my personal point of view and I am responsible for it.
1...This Andrew Heavens fella doesn’t stop to amaze me. The topics he raises in his blog are mostly silly. He tries too hard to give the government of Meles the image of a good and stabilized government while he knows full well that the reality is otherwise. A couple of days ago he told us that his vendors are having hard time selling the magazine 'abiy guday'-the big issue. How on earth would Mr. Heavens think anyone would be excited by EPRDF's millennium propaganda? Any layman can see how hard the government is trying to use the millennium to repair its tarnished image. And Andrew and friends effort to help eprdf in its endeavor is just absurd. Just because they are living comfortably doesn’t mean that Ethiopians who are struggling so hard to make ends meet are also looking forward to the big fest. I got news for you, Mr. Heavens, don’t be surprised because people are not buying your magazine. you are in a country where citizens have to try so hard to put food on the table. If you really want to help the homeless, there are so many other ways..
....It doesn’t stop there. He seems too disappointed because a certain meeting wasn’t held in Addis because of a bomb blast that happened in Addis some time ago. It is not the people who lost their lives that sadenned mr heavens. No. Its the fact that we missed the opportunity to host some fancy meeting. Oh brother!

2.what I heard on paltalk was shocking to me,to say the least. I thought EPPF had leaders better than those in paltalk. If they are the ones taking control of the EPPF, it is really depressing. I hope and pray that they are just supporters and EPPF have high caliber leaders who know their priority and their fight. Oh God, save us!.....

3. Of all the press releases I read after the guilty verdict, I felt a little uneasy on the EOTC Holy
Synod’s. The release sounded more like a political party's press release than a religious one. I believe it could have been better if it focused on calling for peace and compromise. I am not saying condemning a wrongdoing is a bad idea. I am just saying it could have been done in a more reconciliatory tone. Plus I don't feel it is healthy to have a certain religious group getting too close to a government or a political party for that matter. The church-government relation ship during the feudal regime wasn’t a pleasant experience for other faith followers.

4. If we can go beyond rhetoric, UEDF's press release is a good one. Everyone should mean what they say. Tegbar league's release focused more on warning foreign nationalities. I believe tegbar league would work with others before undertaking its plan. Because the problem we have in Ethiopia isn't easy for tegbar to single handedly change it. Lets work together..dir biyaber anbessa yasser.......
5.We also read this week that the number of KIL members is proposed to increase to 23. I have no problem with that. I even think the proposed organizational structure is excellent. What I take issue on is the inclusion of civil society leaders to the group. I don't think we all need to be a certain political party member to work together. Some of the proposed civil society leaders can work closely with KIL in the struggle with out them being part of it. Going through the list, I can’t help it but to notice that it doesn’t seem to include a Muslim Ethiopian. It is puzzling to me why we can't have a couple of Muslim brothers and sisters in KIL in a country where a good proportion of its population is Muslim. Just curious.
