We all know Gaddafi has been a
ruthless tyrant for quiet a while. He has been abusing his people, disturbing
the peace in his neighborhood and far and is the poster child for a
dysfunctional and failed leadership model. The last few days all his enablers
have been coming out of the woodworks to condemn his style and demand his
ouster.
Some will say too little too
late. I know it sort of fishy when the British, the French and the Americans
all of a sudden stand in solidarity with the Libyan people. Where were you the last forty years is a legitimate question? On
the other hand it is perfectly understandable if the Libyan people look at
their new friends with a little bit of suspicion and put their guards up. That
is the way it should be. Hopefully the Libyan, Egyptian and Tunisian people
will keep their new friends at arms length until they sort out their problems
their own way.
For us Ethiopians the upheaval
in our neighborhood has been a godsend event. We are overloaded with lessons
and information. We are thrilled thinking of the possibilities, we are happy of
the fact that freedom is at hand and delirious with the knowledge our Woyane
leaders are scurrying around to postpone the inevitable. The fact that junta
leader Meles is holed up in his palace pouring over discarded
manuals is priceless.
As we are learning from Tunisia,
Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen and Libya, remember the tyrant and his associates are
figuring how to reverse engineer the gains of the last few weeks. It is not
easy but they have no choice. Libya is showing us that criminals fight to the
last. How come they don’t realize it is over is a good question. The short
answer is this state of mind called ‘delusion’.
This sickness is best manifested
by no other than our Communication Minister Berket Simon and Gaddafi’s son Saif
El Islam. These two characters will join that special place currently occupied
by Mohamed Saeed al Sahaf AKA ‘Baghdad Bob’ the information Minster of dear old
departed Saddam Hussein who is famous for declaring ‘ There is no presence of
American infidels in the city of Baghdad’ while you can see the smoke rising in
the background from US bombing. Gentlemen, that is a
perfect example of being delusional and an absolute detachment from reality.
Saif El Islam decided to go
on Libyan TV actually there is no such thing as Libyan TV. It should be renamed
Gaddafi family TV. He spoke for ½ hr. Saif was trying to impress his listeners
how educated he is by declaring that he will speak without prepared notes and
from his heart. Well it was a big mistake. The playboy prince only proved that
he couldn’t follow a train of thought nor make sense of his understanding of
events as it unfolds all around him. His half hour presentation was gibberish
at most and further proof that the Gaddafi family is in dire need of
psychiatric aid. You can follow the link at the end this article on youtube and
cry. Here is Saif without further ado.
So you think it is long and
rambling nonsense. I agree, I sat thru ½ hr of trash talk and have to transcribe
and cut it down to its essence. Saif did us a favor. He was able to put all of
his father’s argument why he should be declared leader for life. We Ethiopians
are familiar with all his important talking points. We have heard it on
TPLF/Woyane TV that some of us repeat it word for word.
I did not have to work hard. Our
own Berket came to the rescue. Dear old communication-miscommunication Minster
put in his two cents worth of stupid speak to tell us why he is safe. This is
what the criminal has to say regarding his take on the uprising in the
neighborhood:
There is no chance for a public
uprising in Ethiopia as the predominately factor for such uprising in Egypt and
Tunisia were middleincomestates
that no longer could drive througheconomicgrowth,
and failed to provide enoughjobs
andequitable wealth distribution
creating desperation among the public hardly resembles Ethiopia …there [where
popular revolts happen] are desperate people, people who have nowhere to turn
to. Our people are not desperate, here we have a public that has seen hope, a
public that enjoys a glimmer of hope more than ever due to the recent years’economicgrowth
and transformation,”
This is just the beginning. As
the temperature rises Woyane enablers will come up with zillions of arguments
the reasons why Ato Meles should lead us and why we worthless subjects are
lucky to have such an intelligent, wise and world respected leader at the helm
to steer the ship called Ethiopia.
All we got to do is substitute
Libya with Ethiopia and you can see the meetings of minds between these
dysfunctional individuals. They both think without their leadership the country
will fall apart. Their removal will cause disintegration, economic collapse and
foreign intervention. The problem is not caused due to their failed polices but
due to the phantom opposition be it local or the Diaspora. You can see Seif’s
rant against the Diaspora and go to Walta, Aiga or Ethiopian (Woyane) TV and
you see the same train of thought.
There are certain things we
noticed the last few months. God it looks like months but the dictators are
tumbling down weekly. They never saw it coming is a fact of life. Ben Ali never
dreamt that thirty years of bullying would be undone in just thirty days.
Mubarak did not see it coming. Gaddafi was ranting against Tunisians and never
believed his days are numbered. Considering that he is claiming the love of his
people today, I guess he is still in the dark while sitting in his bunker. On
top of it all Israeli intelligence was certain their puppy Mubarak was safe and
the CIA was assuring decision makers that Mubarak was untouchable. So much for
the Mossad and the CIA, I guess their PR is mightier
than their analysts.
As you can see Tunisia did not
experience civil war, Egypt did not disintegrate and Libyans do not seem to be
killing each other but are collectively encircling the ‘leader’ and his
henchmen. This is a lesson to Woyane enablers. It is not going to be different
in Ethiopia. We have lived together for so long, intermarried, worshiped that
no amount of propaganda and self serving wish will turn us against each other.
It did not happened before when TPLF was fanning the flame of hate and shouting
everybody to his Kilil concept. It did not happen when Meles and company pushed
out our Eritrean citizens from their place of birth and wanted the rest of us
to celebrate with them. You know what we did, our people cried following the
buses taking their brothers sisters away from their home. We are gentle, loving
people. Hate have no place in our Ethiopia. Woyane’s are planters of hate. The only thing they will
harvest is this colossal tsunami of rage directed at the thousand or less
Woyane dogs.
