MELES' DRAMA

As expected, Meles and Co. sentenced the jailed leaders life in prison. The whole drama of “lets wait to the courts decision” was to make sure these leaders can’t step out of prison with their rights of participating in the country’s politics. In january this year, it was reported that the meles government was trying to get them sign a petition saying that they won’t go back to politics after their release. This ridicules offer was automatically denied by those elected officials in kality. Then meles played his last card, his kangaroo court. A couple of weeks ago, the woyanne ministry of "justice" went on the record saying that Ethiopia doesn’t have a law regarding amnesty. A week or so after he said that, we have Ato Assefa Kesito leading the board of amnesty, what ever that may be.
What we found most laughable was Bereket’s claim on his VOA interview. He said that EPRDF doesn’t fear it’s opposition and the proof for that is the would be release of prisoners. We are just wondering; if the meles government isn’t scared to death of these elected leaders in jail, why bother to strip them off their political rights. Let them free with their full rights, stop intimidating them, and then we believe you are really not afraid of opposition. Ato Bereket is actually known for his illogical answers.The bottom line is: Every one knows the drama that is authored by meles and being played by some poor souls in the government. All citizens inside and out side the country knows it. All westerners know it. They are not fooling anyone. Let us not make the meles drama so colorful by paying undue attention. Let them play their script there. Let us intensify our diplomatic effort here. Every one’s voice counts. Let us raise our voice and say enough is enough.
