The lesser of two evils

26 03 2008

I read in ER about what kind of ploy the tyrannical Meles regime is using in order to scare Oromos in Arsi zone of Oromia from voting for anybody else but the minority led EPRDF party for the coming sham election that is going to be held in Ethiopia. I am surprised by the kind of comments I read there. It seems that they have forgotten the bestial and reprehensible legacy of Emperor Menelik II while the same atrocious acts of Meles Naziawi is still fresh in their head.

The choice between Meles and Menelik is a choice of a lesser of two evils. Let’s not deny historical facts here.(<— a must read) Menelik has cut off men’s hands in Arsi and women’s breasts. Even worse, he exterminated 5 million Oromos in the process of his conquest.

For Oromos the choice is clear. We’re not going to settle for any Menelik or Meles idolizers. We had enough of the same oppressive and exploitive rule of Habeshas. We want to be the masters of our own destiny in our own autonomous state.

Take it or leave it.
