Appeal to CUP leadership

*The problem among CUD top leadership is becoming apparent day by day. Even though both groups are trying to cover it up, almost everyone who follows Ethiopian politics understands that the party is heading to a very dangerous split. We believe that many factors contributed to the current stalemate. Instead of taking measures to correct problems at early stage according to the internal rules and procedures of the party, it seems that it is being left for the problem to go away by itself. That is a grave mistake. Problems may arise in any party’s day-to-day activity and the party should have rules and procedure on how to go about solving them. Anyone who is unwilling to obey the rules will also need to be dealt with accordingly.
*kinijit, we believe, has its own internal procedures. And whenever something as major as this happens, it has to be dealt with it according to the internal workings or the party. What seems happening now is that one group is avoiding the other and yet pretending that the problem either doesn’t exist or minor.
*We need you, CUD leaders, to lead us by example. You told us time and again how compromise is important and how you are willing to work even with EPRDF. But what we see now is that you are not even doing anything promising to come closer with each other and hammer out differences. We have high regard for all of you and we hope you will not let us down by acting childish.
*Giving interviews to radio stations that are known for fomenting division , hatred, and hearsay (sept.19)is not expected from leaders of your caliber. Just follow who is fueling the confusion by posting those interviews and inflammatory articles. One can’t help it but to wonder why EPRP mouth pieces Ethiolion,debteraw, Asimba, Ethiopiawinet are so much devoted in siding with one group and alienating the other. Also notice how EPRDF affiliates Aiga forum, and hagerfikir radio are so much involved in mud slinging at some CUD leaders. Lib yalew lib yibel!!!!!!
*We have reached to the point that we can no longer hide what is going on inside the party. Stop the lip service and start to deal with it. Either solve it now or the strong and united CUD we are hoping to see would be in grave danger. Some concerned Ethiopians are offering their willingness to get involved. We suggest both groups consider that very seriously.
**We know that you CUD leaders, are honest to your words. That’s what you showed us by staying in that horrible kality prison. And we hope that you will take measures to solve the ongoing problem sooner than later.
