Opinion: The Coward EPRDF Meles Regime did not have a backbone By YohannesY


I am personally enjoy a good debate when politicians fighting to send across their ideas and it depends how well the person presented his or her argument but if you test out the Ethiopian politics on both sides the language and level of disrespect is boundary less, personal attack goes beyond my wild imaginations, most Ethiopian remembered the Prime minister narrative and his disrespect for the Ethiopian people and it was unexpected from the head of the country.
The EPRDF controlled all the political and military apparatus so it is not possible to conduct civilized debate because the oppositions did not have the platform. At the same time the EPRDF regime claimed that they are working hard on Ethiopian economic expansion and recently the economic magazine said that Ethiopia will be the third fastest growing economy in the world plus they said “There is no more impressive an African Lion economy on the move than that of Ethiopia even World bank support the assertion so if that is the case why the EPRDF afraid to debate and discuss the Ethiopian future with real Ethiopian oppositions group? Why not present their case instead of repressing the people?
One of the greatest factors in western world elections is the economy. If the economic performance is well then the politician can show something to the people, they will have a chance to be reelected but in Ethiopia case, the Ethiopian regime claimed that the Ethiopian economy is growing up for the last 10 year and yet, they do not trust the Ethiopian people to make a decision on their future? Of course even here in the US a person like Rush Limbaugh attack people in personal level but it has always have boundary.
We have a lot of great Ethiopian in Diaspora and we are always provided with a great analysis about Ethiopian politics, the Ethiopian government lousy propaganda machine is very weak to reach any Ethiopians. Plus they were weight on democratic scale and they miserably failed.
And above all they have so much to conceal so cannot respond for real debate and cannot convince an ordinary Ethiopians let alone to convince educated Ethiopians the Ethiopian government can convince his sponsor (the western world) but unable to convince Ethiopians activities(patriots). Because the Ethiopian government can tell the western world what they want to hear.
The EPRDF regime do not understand why the Ethiopians people still did not like them and they survive by force. And calling journalist and unarmed politician as a terrorist, they demonstrate their muscles on un armed journalist and innocent youth because the journalists who stand tall and covey the truth but they end up in prison because the EPRDF government does not have back bone and unable to stand the truth
