Tecola Hagos's editorial against HR2003

Tuesday, 13 November 2007

It is no secret that I am incensed with the behavior of Representative Donald Payne and the Congress that he manipulated into passing the ignoramus and subversive H.R. 2003 that has no merit whatsoever except to undermine the oldest nation on Earth—Ethiopia—a friendly and courageous nation that stood by the United States to this day in its fight against terrorists and terrorism in that part of the World. Back in the 1950s, Ethiopian soldiers fought and died along their American counterparts in the Korean War [1951-54], for whom the grateful Koreans, a truly decent people, erected a monument honoring the sacrifices of those heroic Ethiopians.

Such is how a great and decent people would act: honoring and respecting heroes who helped them in time of their needs. By contrast, some barbaric Somalis are dragging the bodies of fallen great warriors, who were there to restore peace and order for the suffering people of the region, on the street of Mogadishu as was the case recently reported of the dragging of a fallen heroic Ethiopian soldier and a few years back the bodies of equally courageous fallen American soldiers.

This is true patriotism. Though Dr. Hagos does not personally like the leadership of the ruling party, he does love his country. He understands that H.R. 2003 will hurt Ethiopia long after this particular administration leaves office. He has the foresight to see the big picture and not just the immediate damage this bill can and will do. He respects himself and his great country Ethiopia and no self-respecting Ethiopia would support any bill created by a foreign power. Ethiopians have always looked within for the answers and solves our problems internatlly. We do not want and we will not accept outside meddling in any of our affairs. Long Live Ethiopia!!

TEKOLA HAGOS!
IT IS NOT A SURPRISE YOU ADVOCATE AGAINST HUMAN RIGHTS, DEMOCRACY AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR BRUTAL DICTATORIAL ACTIONS PERFORMED BY YOU AND YOUR BOSS MELES ZENAWI IN SUPPRESSING A DEMOCRATIC ADVANCEMENT IN ETHIOPIA. YOU HAVE KILLED ENOUGH AND AND RULED THE NATION BY THE RULE OF THE GUN FOR THE PAST 17 YEARS. YOU MUST SHAME YOURSELF IN OPPOSING BILL # 2003 WHICH WOULD HELP ETHIOPIA TO ACHIEVE DEMOCRACY, GOOD GOVERNANCE, RULE OF LAW, AND RESPECT OF HUMAN RIGHTS.
YOU AND MELES ZENAWI'S REGIME CAN USE THE TERMS TERRORISM AND U.S. ALLIANCE AS AN EXCUSE TO TERRORISE THE ETHIOPIAN NATION AND RULE THE COUNTRY WITH ARCAIC BRUTALISM. THE ETHIOPIAN PEOPLE KNOW YOU AND YOUR TRICKS OF FAKE ELECTIONS AND STOLLEN VOTES WHICH BECAME OBVIOUS AFTER THE MAY 2005 ELECTIONS. THE WORLD KNOWS YOUR WICKED TRICKS AND UNDEMOCRATIC RULES. THE EUROPIAN UNION AND USA HAVE CLEARLY CONDEMNED THE BRUTAL ACTIONS YOUR REGIME UNDER THE COMMAND OF MELES ZENAWI TOOK BY MASS MURDERING PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATORS IN ADDIS ABEBA AND OTHER ETHIOPIAN CITIES. WE KNOW YOU AS ONE OF THE CRIMINALS WHOSE HANDS ARE SIOLED BY THE BLOOD OF INNOCENT VICTIMS. OF THOSE MURDERS. BUT NOW YOU ARE PRETENDING TO RELATE THE KOREAN WAR AND THE SOMALE INVATION AS HISTORICAL TOOLS TO OPPOSE THE PEACE, DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND ACCOUNTABILITY AS WELL AS GOOD GOVERNANCE FOR THE ETHIOPIAN NATION.
HR 2003 WILL GUARANTY REWARDS TO THE ETHIOPIAN GOVERNMENT FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE, ADVANCEMENT OF DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS, RULE LAW AS WELL AS ACCOUNTABILITY FOR IMPROPER ACTIONS TAKEN BY RULERS.
TEKOLA HAGOS PLEASE TELL MELES ZENAWI TO GROW UP AND STOP CHILDISH BEHAVIORS ADOPTED IN THE JUNGLE OF NORTHERN ETHIOPIA. YOU MUST ALSO GROW UP AND STOP CONFUSING CONGRESS AND THE ETHIOPIAN DIASPORA IN THE USA.
