The creations of clusters, mega clusters and galaxies including our planet and milky way took billions of years to be what they are now. After the explosion happened, everything takes its own course following and obeying some universal physical or mathematical laws and on the process, attractions of gravity gathers nearby runaway matters and galaxies towards each other to form groups, clusters and mega clusters. The universe ( in some cases multi or parallel universes ) is proposed to expand in a faster pace than people originally thought, and making clusters more closer but creating more wider space in between. There is no any force or phenomena which is in sight or in human’s imagination that reverses the whole process and brings back the original dense matter to existence, emptying the vast and infinitely expanse space in to empty. The only time this will happen logically is when there will be a big collapse- a cosmic process which is the opposite of big bang, in which the total sum of energy of the universe is becoming zero and everything in it collapses to a point and the universe we know comes to an end.<br /><br />The Ethiopian big bang started 21 years ago with the coming of EPLF, TPLF and OLF to political power through the barrels of guns and right from their beginning determined to dismember and dissemble the cohesive and strongly united Ethiopian society in to clusters and forced them to form their own orbits leaving what they called a non existence Ethiopian political polity, although Ethiopia existed not only then, 21 years ago but for centuries , which by the way will continue to exist for eternity as long as the human society lives on earth. Their very initial step taken was to cut Ethiopia in two parts, proper Ethiopia and one of its provinces Eritrea to become another country, for childish, erratic, naive and uneducated village reasons, where even the person who occupies the political power of that part of Ethiopia does not believe in the very reasons they fought for in the first place and making that part of the country a living hell for the people who reside there (Eritrea). TPLF further divided and partitioned what is left of the country in to ethnic enclaves and ordered those enclaves to spin their own programs leaving any program that is Ethiopian - they preached to the new ethnic enclaves that being Ethiopian is secondary but first they have to be their ethnicity and do the business of only their ethnicity, and ordered all Ethiopians to identify and declare an ethnic group they have to identify with and write it on their identification cards, although Ethiopians are multi ethnic people who intermarried, intermingled and lived together during good and bad times for centuries.<br /><br />The sinister motives and political programs they prescribed to the would be clusters or enclaves are, to do, facilitate and spin programs that promote only their own cause, not Ethiopian - they have to sing their own song, not Ethiopian, dream their own growth and future not, Ethiopian, basically forcing the country Ethiopia to disappear by cutting down all fabrics and veins of cohesion and unity and form African union within Ethiopia. After all these things took place for many years, the formation of clusters are visible from some enclaves and expected to become distinctive and self identifying clusters in which over time, the central government will not have control over and the plan of the Ethiopian big bang is on the way to be self evident.<br /><br />Concerned Ethiophiles and Ethiopians across the globe observe blue prints and signs of formations of clusters in places where different people from different ethnic groups forced to live together for a seemingly common purpose of learning and acquiring knowledge for the good of the society’s future – places like colleges and university campuses. We witnessed repeatedly ethnic based clashes among students where reasonable and learnt citizens of the society should be for further learning, seek knowledge and attain higher order reasoning and thinking to solve problems of the country, but instead they become places of affirming cluster formations, dismemberment and moving further away from the Ethiopian polity. From the physics of nature, the divisive apartheid politics they practice day in day out and year from year, reinforced by TPLF and the social dynamics that take place, these cluster formations and conflicts are natural, non preventable, progressive results and outcomes of a designed policy and will recur always until the clusters formed stop living together. Another tell tell signs of the strengthening of cluster formations is the expulsions of people with impunity who allegedly are from Amhara ethnicity but residing in another ethnic group’s place including monasteries – excruciating and heart breaking to watch that is happening to Ethiopians who defended and protected that land by their bones and blood, but expelled from that very land by people who take the command of TPLF and work hard in the actualization of the Ethiopian big bang.<br /><br />The TPLF rulers promote the policy of separation, dissociation and force people to see only one thing – their ethnicity – the very natural reason and force that create separate clusters of the society, but force them at the same time to do another - to look behaving Ethiopian. Such beliefs of absurdity in which TPLF led rulers and its blind, subconscious wealth and fortune beneficiaries reason to support the wrong principles prescribed to Ethiopia is a type of nonsense argument that is a result of a flowed and faulty thinking process of a lower order. Their argument is paradoxical and falls in a category called Moore’s paradox of putative absurdity: In simple terms it looks like: “the door is closed but I don’t want to believe that it is closed or want to believe it is not closed” or “ the person is dead but I want to believe that the person is not dead” – only laymen or people of substandard thinking validate such arguments.<br /><br />Therefore, before it is too late to see the Ethiopia that is well known from antiquity to verses of the Bible, the mouth of Mohammed and Quran to contemporary world, that contributes so much to world affairs in creating a livable and harmonious world to all its citizens, in being the first founding member of the league of nations and the front runner and founding member of the organization of African union, provided land for the creation of head quarter of OAU and who fought to the realizations of decolonization of African countries to become independent from the yolk of colonialism, all concerned Ethiopians and Ethiophiles should think, take notice and actions to reverse the course TPLF is taking the country – to a non reversible Ethiopian big bang.<br /><br />The world knows, Ethiopians are reach in diverse cultures of beauty and harmony and they sing their diverse cultures together for centuries by knowing all cultures as their own. Mixes of words of our languages, customs, exotic foods, cultural and traditional ceremonies of happiness and sorrow display that beautiful intermingled but diversified cultural harmony. In the contrary, the cultural shows promoted in the country by TPLF now is an imitation of shows that are performed to display the diversity of Africa in African union in which a country has no business and purpose to show and perform the culture of another country, but Ethiopians are not people of African union, but a singular people of one country with one anthem to sing – ETHIOPIA AND ETHIOPIANS TOGETHER FOR ALL TIME !</span></span></div>

The only time this will happen logically is when there will be a big collapse- a cosmic process which is the opposite of big bang, in which the total sum of energy of the universe is becoming zero and everything in it collapses to a point and the universe we know comes to an end.
The Ethiopian big bang started 21 years ago with the coming of EPLF, TPLF and OLF to political power through the barrels of guns and right from their beginning determined to dismember and dissemble the cohesive and strongly united Ethiopian society in to clusters and forced them to form their own orbits leaving what they called a non existence Ethiopian political polity, although Ethiopia existed not only then, 21 years ago but for centuries , which by the way will continue to exist for eternity as long as the human society lives on earth.

After all these things took place for many years, the formation of clusters are visible from some enclaves and expected to become distinctive and self identifying clusters in which over time, the central government will not have control over and the plan of the Ethiopian big bang is on the way to be self evident.
Concerned Ethiophiles and Ethiopians across the globe observe blue prints and signs of formations of clusters in places where different people from different ethnic groups forced to live together for a seemingly common purpose of learning and acquiring knowledge for the good of the society’s future – places like colleges and university campuses.

Therefore, before it is too late to see the Ethiopia that is well known from antiquity to verses of the Bible, the mouth of Mohammed and Quran to contemporary world, that contributes so much to world affairs in creating a livable and harmonious world to all its citizens, in being the first founding member of the league of nations and the front runner and founding member of the organization of African union, provided land for the creation of head quarter of OAU and who fought to the realizations of decolonization of African countries to become independent from the yolk of colonialism, all concerned Ethiopians and Ethiophiles should think, take notice and actions to reverse the course TPLF is taking the country – to a non reversible Ethiopian big bang.

That is, the rabbits should not eat all the grasses available and run out of food and there by endanger their existence and </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">threatens</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> the existence of the foxes </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">as well</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> since foxes consume rabbits. Similarly if the foxes get extremely greedy and selfish and eat all the rabbits in certain time interval, then that is again a </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">recipe</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> for destruction of foxes as they will not have any thing to eat after sometime as no rabbits left to live, reproduce and multiply. Therefore, greed and extreme selfishness of the predators lead to the destruction of the vibrant ecosystem of the two living species.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">A mathematical model called </span></span><i style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;">Lotka- Volterra</i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"> of differential equations studies such relations and some other similar systems in which species compete for resources, living areas, etc. or others cooperate and live together creating a vibrant system that works for all involved. But in the prey – predator model, the extreme case </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">scenarios</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> are that when foxes are increasing in huge amounts and eat more rabbits, then the rabbits number </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">decreases</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> considerably to the point of disappearance. But there is always a perfect condition in which the two species live together indefinitely, by keeping selfish desires in check and live for ever or be greedy and extreme </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">selfish</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> but disappear together for ever.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

In such systems, there are groups called consumers that purchase </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">services</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> products and utilities and </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">companies</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> that produces them, and the the fiscal/financial relations created between them should indeed be healthy, honest, fair, ethical and above all humane so that the economic relations formed and the forces of the financial transactions created, stay on balance and remain valid for all participants so that the economic structure created exists indefinitely.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

However, the economic relations created between these two groups, consumers and companies, should again be healthy, fair, truthful or honest and above all ethical and humane. If companies develop extreme greed and selfish trends, </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">losing</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> sights of connecting to their consumers as their humane benefit partners, and completely disregarding the difficulty of </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">financial</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> resources and fiscals troubles of working people, taking an imaginable and unreasonable amount of profits from these consumers, then a </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">black hole</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">syndrome</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> will be created between these two partners of the economy, which eventually lead to the collapse of the economic system they created.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<i><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Case in point</span></b></span></i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">: The demise of real estate in America – real estate companies and banks related to real estate business that offer loans for home buyers, were blinded by extreme profit making to an unbearable height, wiping out the </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">financial</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">capabilities</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> of their customers to the point of being unable to pay their timely bills, resulted in the abandoning of homes by huge numbers and led to the complete collapse of the real estate </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">business</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> itself and bankings associated with it. The actual mathematical justification here is very trivial. If a company uses a profit maximizing function in which the inputs are from </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">variables</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> that are available based on the input-response systems of the state of the economy, then trivially, one or more of the inputs were put falsified, such as the </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">capability</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> of the consumers to </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">sustain</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> paying bills, while their income was </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">dwindling</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> by the day. Thus, the calculations lack honesty, not being truthful and </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">therefore</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"> violates few of the fundamental rules of credit – trust and the ethics of reporting facts truthfully.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

But between the two extremes, <i>selfless</i> and <i>selfishness</i>, there is a golden mean – <i>virtues of cooperation</i> to the welfare of all and even in some sense of positive competition for betterment and growth, as long as the games are played by ethics and correct rules, following principles of trust, honesty and responsibility, so that the forces involved remain operational, valid and on balance so that all parties involved remain partners of the process/system and the system continues to exist indefinitely – with no black hole syndrome. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px;">We say mathematics is a ubiquitous activity performed by nature at best and by we humans. The mathematics of humans as an endeavor of human intellect is a systematic study of space, quantity, numbers, change and patterns or structures that either exist naturally or constructed abstractly using the principles of logic and deductions largely aided by imagination. We humans create models to study, navigate and discover the intricacies of the mathematics of nature - the most common phenomena in which the universe is ruled under. Nature is the greatest mathematician of all which does mathematics the best – as mathematics is the working language of nature and of the greater universe that is observable or otherwise. In this part of my exposition, I will write the abundance of mathematics that is ubiquitous in nature. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px;">(1) The display of sophisticated and intricate wonders, beauty and symmetries that are abundant in nature, such as fractals and chaos. There is a branch of philosophy called aesthetics that studies beauty and nature. </span></div>

The hibernation mechanism is done partly by reducing the size of their parts exposed to the outside environment in order to reduce the diffusion of cold in to them – fascinating mathematics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 14px;">These </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px;">are few examples from the many perfect mathematical performances of nature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 14px;">We humans try to understand how nature does mathematics, by creating abstract models that imitate nature and prove and justify the truth of things in nature. Things naturally work and function in an optimal way with minimal errors and a small change in parameters that govern a phenomena will create a huge change on the result - which shows how nature is <i>stable</i> in a larger or what we call global perspective but at the same time <i>chaotic</i> locally. We see the chaotic part of nature by looking at the effects of a very minute change in the DNA results in a huge difference in creatures -- for instance we humans and chimpanzees have almost similar DNA sequencing with a very minute differences, but that very small difference creates that huge species difference.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px;">Therefore as our mathematical activities, we represent quantities, axiomatize, hypothesize/make conjectures and theorize through mathematical expressions of symbols, variables and assumed to be properties, to prove and validate what we assumed is naturally true and valid. For instance we hypothesize and validate empirically that when a ball is rolling over a frictionless inclined surface, the distance the ball covers is directly proportional to the square on the time it takes to move from one point to the next lower point. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px;">Next, I will discuss about a particular path of moving from one point to the next lower point which expedites time. For curiosity, which path do you think provides the shortest time in moving from one point to the next on a vertical plane which lies below but not on a vertical line? You may think the one which is the shortest segment or straight line segment that connects the two points has the shortest time, but that is not true. There is a longer path from the shortest path that will provide the shortest time – it defies common sense but true. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 14px;">Such paths are needed to be followed to win in sports such as board skating and skiing. Every four years at Summer Olympics, athletes of skiing compete in a mountain side that is full of ice – called skiing. The game is to reach to the destination point down the hill with the shortest time. Assume all the participants of the game have same velocity, then one can ask, will there be a possibility of the existence of one person with the shortest time? The answer is yes. Here is how.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 14px;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 14px;">Before I provide the answer, let me say something about the history behind this path or curve of shortest time called <i>brachistochrone</i>. In 1696, a mathematician named Johann Bernoulli challenged mathematicians of Europe by posing a problem called the <i>brachistochrone</i> problem. The problem was, given two points P and Q in a vertical plane in which both are not in a vertical line but Q is below P. If a body is moving frictionless by only its own gravity along a path that connects both P and Q, which path will be the one with the least time ? As I said, the shortest segment will not provide the shortest time, but it is a curve called the <i>brachistochrone</i> – Greek word, which is a concatenation of: <i>brachistos</i> – shortest and <i>chronos</i> – time. The answer was given by several mathematicians of the time, such as Isaac Newton, Jacob Bernoulli (brother of Johann Bernoulli), Gottfried Leibniz, etc. Literally, the curve is a segment of a <i>cycloid</i> - a suspended cable on two poles. Therefore the body should follow a <i>brachistochrone</i>, the path with shortest time from P to Q.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 14px;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 14px;">Therefore, athletes who compete for Summer Olympic of skiing, the one to be a winner, has to go from point to the next lower point making zigzag like movements but following a path of a<i>brachistochrone </i>between consecutive points, until he/she riches the destination point. The one who almost makes such paths on the way down, although difficult to get those paths perfectly and continuously, will be the winner. But because they also have different speeds, the combination of their varying speeds and the paths they follow enable one to be a winner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 14px;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px;">Natural examples who use such paths - paths of shortest time to pick their prey from below are seagulls or birds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px;">Seagulls or birds in general are one of the most fascinating creatures of nature - the flights, swifts, turns, dives and rises they make. Their flight mechanisms inspire humans the ambition to fly and hence a source of research for applied mathematicians and engineers alike for designing planes and their wings in regard to air dynamics and gravity to create levitation. Besides their fascinating acrobatic flights and perfect flawless moves they make, seagulls or birds also do amazing mathematics of differential geometry and physics. When they move from above to pick a prey they see on the ground or inside a sea or sea shore, the path they chose is not the straight segment from their position to the prey, but the path with the shortest time to reach to the prey </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px;">– the<i>brachistochrone</i></span><i><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 14px;">.</span></i><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 14px;"> By choosing such a perfect mathematically proven path, a path of shortest time, birds and seagulls pick their prey swiftly and quickly – a fascinating natural act of doing mathematics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
FOUNTAINS OF SOCIAL CHAOS: UN GODLY TEACHINGS<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Recently I read postings from face book that individuals of obscurity telling groups of peoples to hate a religion which they are not a part in it and forcing them to express that hate through actions. I saw two individuals one claiming Christian and the other calming Muslim telling people the other religion is UN GODLY. Utterly, utterly ridicules, rubbish and a mockery spewed on the Ethiopian society. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Ethiopian society enjoys both secular and religious lives. Religion is taken as a personal comforter and complement to their secular lives, while at the same time they want their secular lives collectively be addressed through a well structured democratic political process in order they all have equal opportunity to resources their country can offer and enjoy life, freedom, liberty and happiness as developed societies of the world do. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Individuals with such teachings should not be listened by any reasonable person of conscience that has a desire for peaceful co-existence of humans irrespective of religions, especially in a country like Ethiopia where Christians and Muslims co-exist for centuries as good neighbors respecting each other’s belief. Such teachings indeed are against the teachings of any religion including Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Jews, Christians and Muslims should know that the GOD they worship is capable of doing everything in their belief as to their definition he is OMNIPOTENT--a super being capable of doing everything. Therefore he does not need anybody's help or sacrifices so that he will be happy by what you have done for him. He is not a corrupt official of the Heaven that needs such things. He can do infinitely many times more than what you can do, but the only thing your GOD needs from you is a capacity you have from your developed natural wisdom gained by thinking and reasoning or learned from the fear of the GOD you worship through words of your respective Holly Books - to be wide hearted, loving of others even in the worst case scenario as the Christian GOD says and did. The Christian GOD said he sent his only SON to save man, not because humans are good and perfect, but because he could not handle the sin of humans and the only way he handles that was through expression of LOVE. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">LOVE is the absolute weapon of PEACE to win and contain an ENEMY of the HIGHEST ORDER. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is one of the kernels in the Christian philosophy of GOD: to give the best of what you have to what you think to be an unwinnable enemy of a highest order. That is what Jews, Christians and Muslims should do as the teachings of their scripts indicate. Even the OMNIPOTENT GOD that is worshiped by the three religions who is capable of everything does not order the destruction of humankind on the face of the earth, because of the incurable sin of humans and their continual bad actions against each other.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But teachings of hate within different religions and sects of religions in most cases is committed by people who mis-learnt or wrongly learnt their religions and thereby misuse for political intent and goal than religious merits. Therefore beware of such individuals who wear costumes of religions but carry inside weapons of hell and destructions of a political end. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Judgment is done only by your GOD not by you. Your only responsibility is just to love your neighbor as you want your GOD to love you not only by words but by deeds: unconditional LOVE to humanity. The GOD you worship is always disappointed by what you do to your fellow man not what you do to him. In fact he takes who you do to your fellow man as what you do to him and therefore as a measure of a person's religious commitment he has to GOD. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Any Ethiopian citizen either Jew, Christian, Muslim, or otherwise should be wise enough as our forefathers who thought their children that religion is personal while the country is their common valuable asset to be protected by any cost. Therefore any teaching of division by race, ethnicity, religion, etc, that entice conflict or has a potential to create one, is an act of a sinister group or groups of persons of obscurity or nearby political individuals who may be associated to a hidden political mission but through unsuspected channels, who later will laugh by what they accomplished while you kill each other now and for decades to lose your cohesion.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ethiopians should not forget that they are people with outstanding history, civilization and culture of tolerance and peaceful co-existence that spans for more than three thousands of years. You have such a magnificent history with a wealth of knowledge of a culture of a capacity to make sound judgments by identifying and validating things that are true, rational and lasting and things that are false, sensational, destructive and ephemeral. You do not have to be cheated again and again by people of sinister motives that always use divisions in your ethnicity, divisions in your religions, divisions in your locality, etc and create a sensational conflict that usually is deadly, irrational in origin and long lasting. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">These teachings you are watching and listening, extremely dangerous spews from evil groups are designed to be appealing and testy to only to your ears and eyes are GATEWAYS TO HELL and no religious sect, group or individual person should take a ride on such wagons of destructions from HELL to HELL.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Danger!! Beware!!!</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">A training and a mission went wrong!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A case to learn from: How could the army of a country treats citizens as outsider enemy combatants for asking a political freedom from their political leaders through peaceful demonstrations and eventually create civil wars with in their own society? To see such things on television is the most damning social phenomena that no man could even imagine in the near past in advanced societies of the western world. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Can you imagine a common member of a family changed self to a super nanny as an outsider to treat and discipline the house as a collection of children and enforce self-will by any means and start killing family members for speaking out ? The analogy is that the country is the family; family members are citizens; the common family member that transformed self to super nanny is the illegitimate leader who does such things; the inanimate killing partners are family members who were assigned responsibility from the family to protect the family from external attacks and to keep the safety and peace of every family member, but took the order of the self-appointed supper nanny to kill family members for asking matters that are vital to the house. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some unseen or trivially taken things by the society but sources of such troubles :</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If political leaders gather themselves based on an ethnic group, then they establish deliberately an army that is dominantly lead by that ethnic group but filled by others as foot soldiers who do not have access to the upper leadership echelon of the army. In such cases the army leaders take political matters as family affairs, not as affairs of the country and completely concur with illegitimate political leaders and both function as hands and globes for their luxury living and ethnic dominance for all time as long as the society quietly sits. Some world class dictators who are not familiar with modern society, choose this way as a means to stay in power for long, but later disappear with all their family members without any trace from their society for all time and be treated as bandits run amuck to collect wealth and fortune and worst members of their society, captured political power by an accident not by being rational and having a desire of good will to bring good governance to the prosperity of their society. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Few cases where the world is watching on live television with shock and surprise as to how such governments exist in this 21st century in which leaders of civilized societies of the western world resign without any hustle for even simple failures of responsibilities. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yemen: Leaders of the Yemen army are immediate and distant family members of the president so that politics and luxury is a family affairs.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Libya: Sons of the president lead armies themselves that is supposed to work for the country who later changed to private body guards and not army of the country—a disgrace to their honor. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bahrain, Syria and Jordan: The same thing is happening</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ethiopia: The army leadership is dominated by one ethnic group that is deliberately designed by political illegitimate leaders in order to take political demands of freedom and peaceful expression of descent of the Ethiopian society as a treat to their family affairs and dominance and therefore take orders from their family members of political leaders to silence and kill citizens. Civilized political demands shall be considered as alien concepts from western societies, irritants to their luxury lives and should not be seen anywhere, anytime in front of their eyes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The troubling thing in the case of Ethiopia is that the leaders came as a surprise to un suspected Ethiopians and force the Ethiopian society to behave as a new human society from scratch with strange axioms of nations and nationalities of medieval times and enforcing them with weaponry and punitive measures. They redesigned and restructured Ethiopia and forcefully apply their will until now. It is not surprising therefore that such a group with such a colossal political plunder allows others to be members of their clubs of power. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But to give a chance for the benefit of a doubt, it is necessary to say what is right and what shall be done.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Political Leaders:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Legitimate political leaders provide a political leadership so that all structures of the society function properly in order citizens enjoy equal access to opportunities and resources of their country with minimal obstacles, freedom, a vibrant democracy to exercise their rights and responsibilities in choosing their leaders periodically. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The army: Bodyguard versus National Army.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The national army which includes the police force and the military took oath and a solemn duty to honor the flag, the constitution and keep the territorial integrity of the country from foreign aggressions and protect the rights, safety and security of citizens, included peaceful expressions of descent to political leaders who make decisions on their behalf. They are not employee of any person or group from the political leadership echelon so that when an individual from the leadership group needs to kill citizens, take that order and kill their own brothers and sisters. Members of the army are not body guards of any group or persons to simply take orders and behave as inanimate partners of individuals in power that reside in political offices and perform a command on their society including killing. The army engages itself in such kinds of actions only during wars between the country and another country. Even in that case there is an international law which prohibits not to kill a combatant enemy if he/she puts down a weapon and show some sign of surrender, or not to kill a wounded enemy combatant that you may have gotten on the way, instead they will be taken as prisoners of wars. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Therefore for army leaders, it is a dishonor now and in history, to their ranks bestowed by Ethiopia and its people and the place they occupy in their society, when they act like body guards of individuals and take and perform a direct command to silence their own civil society with imprisonment, torture, killing with firearms and heavy weaponry, simply because they ask peacefully a better political pathways of governance that guarantee socio-political and economic developments to them to their children, grandchildren and to the country at large. It is here that training and mission of an army went wrong. It is therefore imperative in times of political upheavals and peaceful expression of descent, the military and police force should indeed see rationally whom they have to serve and what their mandates and purposes are. Which actions make them partners of their society and receive honor from their society now and in history and which actions make them mere body guards of individuals and lose their HONOR now and in history. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the most important social qualities, historical assets and personal demands of great individuals who happened to be in leadership positions is HONOR. Honor is both a personal and social asset that stays forever in history and gives pride for that society. No wealth, fortune and material possessions and personal friend ship equalizes HONOR for legitimate leaders. It is in that end that the Ethiopian army and police force should function and perform all the time and during times of social upheavals of peaceful expressions of decent. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wars: </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wars among countries and wars inside a country –civil wars , are destructive activities of humans resulted from failures of people from the political leadership to reason and win the other in argument and peaceful way on issues that create misunderstanding between the warring groups. But in modern times civil wars are only prevalent in under developed countries usually called third world countries where civilization and modern democratic political activities are yet alien and distant future or even unnecessary concepts, while in developed societies they are socio-political phenomena of the distant past. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Question: When do these under developed societies or collectively called third world countries start using reason to win or lose arguments and abide by the results so that they do not use force to make false true, or vise versa? To accept a thing that is true is a sign of being reasonable and civilized, while trying to produce side conditions to falsify it or look like false and enforce that by weapons and punitive measures is a sign of being irrational, falsehood and uncivilized. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Remark: In order political tricks and deceptions to disappear and the country not be changed to a family real estate of business of illegitimate leaders, societies should put an article in their constitution that forces a tenure time limit (not more than two terms) for political leaders. It is to the benefit of all, leaders and the society.</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">

<br />
<em>Polpowbesity</em>: Obesity of a political power.<br />
<br />
Over use of political power without checks and balances for an indefinite or life time by leaders of developing countries which usually are called dictators who eventually use weaponry and firearms to choke , silence and kill their own citizen without any concern and mercilessly.<br />
<br />
The current middle east political phenomena in<br />
(1) Bahrain<br />
(2) Libya<br />
(3) Yemen and multitudes of African countries and elsewhere, are few who suffer from Polpowbesity .<br />
<br />
There are several countries who suffer from <em>Polpowbesity</em>. Countries who suffer by same leaders for life long or for decades who by natural adaptation befriended poverty, illiteracy, luck of freedom of expression, complete absence of a free democratic political life, etc, where only leaders and their family members enjoy the highest standard of living, are victims of this political disease called Polpowbesity.<br />
<br />
The current action that is taking place in Libya by the international community is a political surgery of an international military power that is approved by UN as a surgeon general , to ease the danger posed by Polpowbesity to the Libyan society and their future mutual existence in the global community.</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">One thing to ponder about an article of a constitution that is full of utterly invalid, fallacy in argument form and a paradox of reasoning that is a result of incorrect thought processes with unrelated premises. </div><br />
<br />
Constitutional Article : The right(s) of an individual and the rights of a group: <br />
<br />
Question: Can these two things be valid in one country or in one place?<br />
<br />
Answer : NO<br />
<br />
First: Right - a privilege that individuals or groups claim to have legally in a place they reside or let us call it simply a legal privilege. Take two groups of people identified by their ethnicity: group A of ethnic type 1 and group B of ethnic type 2. They both are given group rights , that is ethnic rights stated by the constitution of the country but enshrined within their own places. Group A does socio-political and economic business that takes care of its own type of people. It makes sure that all its people get all available privileges from that section of residency and therefore any other person that does not belong to their type by definition is an outsider of the group and shall not have equal rights and therefore has no equal privileges as members do. For otherwise the very distinction of group and individual rights by the article has no meaning in purpose. The same thing holds with group B. <br />
<br />
The article came as a surprise to the people of the country some 20 years ago while the society lived intermingled and married together for centuries. Besides, for sure, there is no place or section of the country how small that may be that will not have different and mixed types of people. Therefore there are people from type A that leave in Group B and vice versa. Each place is given to a collection of people with a constitutional mandate to take care of their own types. Those people who lived there all the time and are citizen of the country but happen to be different from the group will be treated like aliens and outsiders with no legal equal rights as others. Therefore these newly made aliens or outsiders have to live by the mercy and left over sub-privileges for sub- living from them, even if they have the highest level of capacity in their works and professional performances.<br />
<br />
The article in design creates two types of citizenship with one additional hidden aim:<br />
<br />
1. Those who happen to reside in a group of their type are full citizen as long as they remain and stay there.<br />
<br />
2. Those who happen to live outside of their types be given a status of quasi-citizens by being a nominal citizen of the country but alien in the place they reside. As a result the article prohibits the movement of people from place to place for opportunities and privileges that may be available in some parts of the country.<br />
<br />
3. To treat those who happened to be in other places by their definition with punitive and make them feel guilty of the past.<br />
<br />
<br />
The inconsistency and fallacy of the article from an argument point of view can be checked by any first year college student. Above all this logically flawed argument forced to be valid for learnt citizens with punitive and sensationally fed consistently ad nauseam as a drug to the innocent huge majority, is a result of undeveloped cultural thinking process by validating things that are outdated, untimely, un updated and backward that do not reflect the socio-political and cultural developments of the Ethiopian society . <br />
<br />
There will not be a single country at this time of the human existence across the globe that has schools and higher learning places of colleges and universities that disseminate knowledge of all disciplines , where basic laws of logic and correct reasoning of higher order as a way of higher order thought processes are taught and practiced as lingua-franca will allow such an utterly flawed semi-constitution to rule over their society.<br />
It simply insults the country, its learnt citizens and the higher learning institutes that let their society be ruled by such paradoxical and false rule of governance that visibly drags backward and reduces the rate at which the society could have been grown in those times under a constitution that is valid. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">PSEUDO LEADERS: Hold their own desires for their own sake and safety as measures of standards for political decisions making – egoistic personality: a distinguishing political DNA of a personality that makes a person not be a leader. TRUE LEADERS in the contrary have courage and are altruist- bold to do undoable things in the purest forms in a pursuit of a selfless act of bravery for the sake of their society and hold the wishes and desires of their society as standards of political decision making.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is absolutely nothing above of the unity, safety and security of the society and hence of the country they have served dearly at all time to make political decisions than any other thing. Bad, egoistic, selfish and illegitimate leaders and good, altruist and selfless leaders are utterly in different parallel universes but in a crisscross planar projections.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">A true leader expresses his love to his people by listening to them and fulfill their wishes in a way more than what they expect. He does not say his people loves him to death. Leadership is to love, protect and serve society, not the converses. When a person says his people loves him until their death, he completely puts in more than equal footing his values, existence and survival with that of the values, existence and survival of the society - which purely is a claim and an expression of medieval time quasi-religious and spiritual-like personality or cult but supported and augmented with firearms and modern weaponry.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">If Colonel Kaddafi indeed was a true leader that loves his people, then he was the person to express his love to his people by first and foremost asking humbly an apology and express resignation immediately from his nominal power that creates havoc on his country and avoid killings and bloodshed of his own people by his own people-in political terms to hate to be a leader of a faction group of a civil war of the country that comforted him for the last 40 years with no visible grudges against him, which already is in the dawn of the 21st century of civilized societies that run their political affairs as peoples and family affairs through the process of democracy, a political process that makes all citizens participate and thereby form governments that create equal opportunity to all its citizens.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Such a society is like a group of people on a ship cruise in a vast and turbulent sea of no horizon, where at times the direction they were sailing is changed by a sea storm and lost, with no professional sailors on board , no compass to guide and retain their direction. Imagine how many years then it will take for such a group not only to get to shore but to see a horizon of a land mass. Learnt citizens have professional, better training and specific skills, methods and procedures to study, look, analyze, create models of problems that are either social, political or economic, and find solutions. That is why developed nations put a huge amount of their wealth for higher learning schools and research institutes and grow fast, steadily and consistently, while in the contrary, underdeveloped countries spent much of their wealth in training a huge army and police force, expanding prisons instead of universities and schools, buying weapons instead of computers, to control, and starve the minds of thinking individuals by denying the freedom to learn, reason, think, express and write ideas that are vital to the society now and to the future and literally suffocating their own society to death. </p> <p align="justify">It is therefore those concerned citizens and groups who have the financial resources to establish media outlets or have one, should always invite professionals from fields that can provide a timely, correct and important information and at times knowledge to the society so that they make better and informed decisions to their lives and build a better society that is at par with well to do others. <p align="justify">I wrote this note to you, because yesterday, I heard you questioning from your Face Book posting, where are the intellectuals and learnt citizens of Ethiopia? Why they do not give ideas and directions as to what the society has to do and should look? You are absolutely correct. I can list few and I hope you know them as well more than me, that there are many such concerned learnt citizens who write and express their heartfelt wishes and reason justified ideas on a regular and casual basis in different websites regarding Ethiopia and its current state of troubles. It is therefore those who have media outlets that they have to find such people and invite them to provide and share ideas and information that are important, timely and vital to the society in a regular basis. <p align="justify">To your surprise, I am a mathematics professor but participate in such matters and even have a blog site for this purpose. <p align="justify">If you have not read my blog then I invite you to visit and read what I think and say. <p align="justify">Dejenie Alemayehu Lakew (PhD) <div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">

The Temporal Sign and Demand of Society: Legitimacy of Political Power.<br />
<br />
By <em>Dejenie Alemayehu Lakew</em><br />
<br />
<br />
Legitimate Leaders:<br />
<br />
Terminologies: Leader, Power, Legitimacy, People, Democracy<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">A leader exercises power of leadership and service on a particular society. The power he/she has can be legitimate or otherwise. The legitimacy of the power of a leader comes from the people. If not from the people then the power is illegitimate.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A legitimate leader therefore has to be a person amongst the people not somebody who is outside of them, who has a better vision, established and derivable wisdom and virtues and an intrinsic courage that analyzes and understands problems of the society ahead and deliver solutions in an optimal time-shortest time possible. He/she leads the people by providing convincing methods and delivering solutions to problems the society faces in the right and progressive direction. No legal citizen should live in pain and die for a survival of an illegal leader but instead a leader has to live in pain and die for the survival of a legal individual citizen. The immediate concerns and jobs of a leader are to serve the society, not to be served by society. He/she is an employee of the society not employing the society and make the society live under his/her mercy. Their power to lead the country is legitimate when it is given by the society. By the time they defy the society, develop contempt to the people and rule by their own will, then they changed the country into their real estate and the society into their own workers. That is the beginning of dictatorship, timocracy, oligarchy, etc, any form of illegal government. Once relations get sour and reach to that stage, leaders lose the legitimacy of their power and receive the rant of the society and ultimately lose their political achievements they have done in their legitimate times. The consequences are catastrophic to them to their family members and great descendants- they all be in the eternal fire of history. Therefore, a leader has to be wise enough to know and listen the society and its will as to when he/she should finish a tenure of service so that they end their power as legitimate and the good things they have done during their legitimate times remain as an eternal candle of history to their society. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Good leaders create administrative structures so that the people get conditions/or resources of life, happiness and freedom in minimal obstacles by providing effective leadership on all levels of their government structures . In order these things to be implemented, there has to be a common space of understanding between the people and the leaders. The people should give time to elected leaders as to when and how they have to come up with solutions to the common social, economic and political problems that they have promised to do so. But at the same time leaders should know that life is short and ephemeral and solutions they promised have to be delivered on time and if that does not happen, then they have to give a path way and in fact invite and solicit the people to elect other new leaders who are capable of understanding the scope and magnitude of the problems and promise to address the issues in a better and short time frame. After all governments are highest forms of social gatherings or structures of a particular society, established to take care of common welfares of the people and therefore cannot behave as an outside power but appended to the people from above for all time. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The protests that are happening in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen and across the middle east are clear indicators of society running out of patience in living and carrying problems indefinitely, where society expresses outcry in multitudes to the extent of willing to die of their suffering by the hands common people who happened to be on the pinnacle of power and place of the leadership but unable to deliver anything for the society. Inability is not a sin by itself but not willing to give the place for others who are capable is the political sin. In times where society express suffrage and anger , governments should behave as part of the society and ask an apology from the society and express their willingness to leave office by arranging conditions in order problems be addressed. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Leaders should know and it is to their benefit that they feel and remain part of the society when they were in power and when they are out of power. They have to do their utmost effort to live within the society and contribute more when they are out of power but taking care of their family. It is always possible for them to be listened, heard and contribute more to their people as long as they are alive and as long as they finish legally. That is the right way to stay in politics for life long—not by hanging on power for life. These problems of appetite for hanging on power for life time are common in what are called developing or underdeveloped countries , where leaders take counties as their real estates and the society as employees in their firms -- while it is non-existent in developed countries.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The consequences are sever and catastrophic not only for such bad leaders but to their all family members . There is no dictator who left power by will and allow his family members live in peace instead they make all their lifelong happiness and achievements be destroyed forever by angry society and unforgiving history. It is amazing why leaders cannot see that and make their immediate family members, children and grand children pay a price for their selfish and ill advised desire of power for life. All dictators disappear along with their descendants for ever from their society while wise leaders remain political advisors and important figures to their own society. Their descendants remain beloved society members living a good life within their own society, proud of the political works their parents have done and the recognition received by the society and history.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is therefore the sign and demand of the time that leaders of countries irrespective of under-developed/developing, should be willing to do exactly what politically developed world leaders do:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">*. Put time frame for a political life-tenure in their constitution. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">*. Make sure their political power is legitimate.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">*. Know the difference between a country and real estate. It is only in real estate that individual citizens have lifelong rights to own it and live in it. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">*. Leave office when people demand and cry of their ineffectiveness.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">*. Leave office when problems remain unsolved on time and beyond. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">*. During turmoil times within society ( governments unwilling to yield their power from demand of society), then the police force and army should not always play as killing inanimate partners of illegitimate governments that run amuck and put their very own citizens, who give legitimacy to their power beneath their foot, but instead to carry out their responsibility by keeping the security and safety of the society in general and the rights of the people untouched.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is only when this happens that the old style of removing governments by guns will stop and a modern and civilized political life begins which is a building block of stability, growth and social development. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

POLITICAL STABILITY: RESULTS OF VISONS CULMINATED FROM KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM AND VIRTUE<br />
<br />
By Dejenie A. Lakew (Ph.D.)<br />
<br />
Dear readers, Ethiopians and friends of Ethiopia, first, I wish you a : <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">HAPPY ETHIOPIAN NEW YEAR 2003: A YEAR OF PROSPERITY, HEALTH LIVING AND HAPPINESS!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">At this time I write pieces of modules of ideas that may or may not be in sequence but worth reading them. The theme of my set of modules of ideas is on how to create a political structure that will be a culture to all its citizens and therefore be stable in Ethiopia. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Stability, both a spatial and temporal behavior of a dynamical system is predictable and observable as well. It is one of the most important properties of any dynamical system and therefore of a political system in particular. The points that cause the system to lose stability are called singularity points of that system. At or around such singularity points the system gets disturbed and behaves erratic and creates a behavior that may create havoc to the system not to behave and function properly for longer time or the disturbance is small and therefore the temporary misbehaving stabilizes gradually in time without creating a noticeable pick of erratic behavior. In political structures, such points for instance are: unfairness in judgment, favoritism on distribution and allocation of resources, abuse of power, campaigning against particular ethnic groups, public irritations against politicians because of staying in power indefinitely, corruption, existence of people in power who lack knowledge, wisdom and virtue to give a timely and civilized leadership to citizens that parallels to contemporary societies, etc. . All these cause a society to bleed, cry, misbehave and force them not to function to their full potentials and full capacity, and keep the society behind from the rest of the world, and therefore are singularity points of that political structure. Surprisingly, such singularity points are prevalent in multiplicities across contemporary political structure of Ethiopia.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A continuous and indefinite existence of political leaders who are unwise, untimely and unwanted by the society they allegedly represent. It is not their lack of wisdom and knowledge what creates problems, but their indefinite occupation of political power and thereby the continuous damage they cause because of their unwise and uneducated decisions they make on behalf of the office they hold. Therefore to avoid such pitfalls, it is imperative to impose a constitutional term limit for elected leaders with no more than two terms. No elected leader should change a constitution in order stay in office for more than the tenure time allowed. Political systems are more stable, beneficial and progressive when they are cultures that are independent of individuals in office. Stable political systems and power houses should be like well designed and strongly built highways of varying slopes and twists and bridges of huge carrying capacities with high swing and elasticity constants, so that all types of vehicles can pass through them, either weak or strong, light or heavy, old or new. Political power houses should be places where leaders will come and leave after they provide their responsibility given to them by the people in a fixed time frame—term of tenure. Those who performed bad during their term leave office faster and be replaced by a new one by the people, without changing the political structure. Those who did well should also leave office on time before they develop common pitfalls of politicians appetite to power, corruption and as a result, gradual developments of public irritations and dislike towards them, which lead to social, economic and political paralysis, stagnation and backwardness and ultimately to dictatorships.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Stable political structures sustain themselves in times of weak leaders, but strengthened more when there come strong and visionary leaders. Countries who embrace western democracies benefit from such stable political systems and be able to grow faster and stronger than countries who languishes with one leader and one political ideology for several decades which amounts to ownership of a real estate than be leaders of countries.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Forming political parties that share power in the central government with programs designed on ideas that will deliver political solutions to all peoples of Ethiopia, not to a particular ethnic group or groups. Think of a political party as an umbrella of protection and representation to the central government for a certain constituency. A constituency is a totality of all individuals who reside in that particular district and therefore that political party or umbrella should embrace and provide political service to all individuals who live in that district. The umbrella cannot and should not discriminate who has to get shelter when individuals from different or mixed ethnicities who live in that area need shelter. There is no place or district in which a single ethnic group lives by itself and therefore establishes a political party that will represent and give a political protection to one ethnic group alone in Ethiopia. Political parties should therefore be parties of ideas and not of tribes and ethnicities. Tribal and ethnic political shelters were typical social structures that were common in the time before the advent of slavery, in which a tribe of one cannot be protected by other tribes unless the later is under subjugation and servitude with a lower status and therefore less protected and at times be attacked, when needed. Ethiopia and Ethiopians are way ahead of that period of social existence, centuries ago. They passed that stage like all other countries with grace and civility using traditional values of compromise, humanity and paving ways to coexistence for the greater good of their future and to generations to come. They lived intermingled, married and died together side by side defending their beloved mother land Ethiopia for centuries. These actions of theirs were not forced, and coerced by anyone for some temporal glory or benefit, but done by themselves with their courageous will bravery and heroic spirit—a clear display of actions of courage and wisdom of our grand ancestors on human dynamics of mobility, frictions and stability. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Therefore to trivialize, mock and nullify their expressions of true love and ultimate scarifies they have made to their country, and completely dismiss their acts of patriotism as wastage and servitude is totally nonsense, wrong, treasonous and in fact amounts to political treachery and deception of a highest order against Ethiopia, its centuries long existence, and to its patriotic peoples of all tribes. Individuals who learnt outdated medieval terms: nations, nationalities, colonization, independence, etc from a discarded and outdated dysfunctional source, should not be allowed to preach hate of a biblical proportion against others, and should be held accountable with crimes of treason and be labeled as anti-social, campaigners of ethnic hatred and wishers and whisperers of a genocide.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If one wants to play a game of intolerance and nonsense as supporters of OLF and other tribal leaders do, then the Amhara people have ample historical, scientific and archeological support to claim that they are actually the first inhabitants of the place what now the Oromo people occupy and live and should therefore force the Oromo people to leave. But for a person of reason and civility, the question therefore will be, where should it start to expel people, and who determines the time line? Above all, is this a reasonable and civilized idea from contemporary time line?<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In fact, such ideas amount to imposing a very unseen type of pseudo-political and social phenomena on current Ethiopia, because of its past from some treacherous individuals who are only trained as real estate developers that have no an iota of what a country and its values are, and how countries of the world were formed. Such kinds of ideas and political maneuvers to punish the past and get a ransom of real estates out of an old and existing country are just unknown and prohibits the human spirit of exploration and discovery and is therefore a game of nonsense of a smallest order to say the least. It totally condemns, denigrates and paralyses the spirit of the human mind to think, imagine, explore by creating technologies to go beyond our galaxy and discover different galactic structures that may benefit mankind, because there might be beings living in places where man will be in the future, which according to these people’s argument will be a crime of a future. Such political thinking of extraordinaire little is not only nonsense but will make mankind prisoner of the future and forces man to behave like zombies of other species whose continuous existence is only from the will and mercy of nature with no a modern type of human existence, devoid of thinking, reasoning, imagination, search, research and discovery. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If all countries of the world today are forced to be what these treacherous pseudo-politicians, who deep in their hearts know what they are fighting is to get a piece of land for their future private living, then everything of the past including the establishments of America, Canada, Australia, Latin America, etc., were wrong and should be dissolved and the lands should be given back to the people who lived there centuries ago, and all others who came to these places from all over the world ( including perpetrators of these childish nonsense of Oromo nation) return back to where they have come from. These ideas are not only dangerously irritating to a level of a child reasoning and desire, but politically nonsense to contemporary world. The very simple reason is that going back has no end as far as human mobility is concerned. A tribe moved from place to place throughout history and there is no time frame that will give delimitation as to where measurement of time will start to give a right of ownership of a particular land to a particular tribe as it was theirs for all time. It will be a lifelong childish and banditry old style gamble to those who do not understand social developments and from where and how far we came to be where we are now. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">No natural being expects and wishes all the time, big bang to happen again, but with different outcomes and different arrangements. Orientations are reversed and smaller structures be larger and larger ones be smaller. Those who were lighting should be lightless and those which are lightless have lights. Simply a desire to reverse what is now to the opposite. Such persons are either lack proper thinking —including understanding concepts of time and space, reasoning and purpose of things, or they are far, far behind contemporary societies in understanding the causality and purpose of things around them and beyond. Such ideas and thinking parallels either lunacy or psychological troubles of socio-political disorders and paralysis caused by the past socio-political establishments. It is true that a psychologically disturbed person does say and wants to impose what he/she thinks and demands out of the ordinary, but it is the other normal people who do diagnose the fallacy of his/her thinking and advise the individual to take medications or advice the individual to go to school and learn the basics of social developments as to when the human society came to exist on earth and what it took humankind to be where it is now. We mathematicians do not allow a new and alien individual, who has no any idea about numbers, their history, developments and how many giant established facts exist, come and tell us or impose on us to place the fraction half somewhere between 0 and 0.1 and tried to convince us that he/she is right by being lunatic and out of control by lack of reason or by intimidation and using weapons. We know right away that the person is not only a mathematician but even does not know what a number is, and we do not allow the man to deal with mathematics at all. Well, that is exactly what Ethiopia encountered politically for that last 20+ years from tribal politicians who uniformly gowned the masking terms, nations and nationalities and Amhara colonization, etc… just fascinating and unparalleled political theory of extraordinaire. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fortunately, these are the symptoms Ethiopia and true children of Ethiopia diagnosed from these individuals who deny Ethiopia’s history and long time existence as a sovereign country of known territory. Surprisingly, such socio-political diseases of the past have no medications at the moment and in the future, except in countries like Ethiopia where the government declared such demands are valid and welcomed and be entertained accordingly --- one such request that has gotten answered was Eritrea -- the place now is a grand prison for those who demanded exactly what I have explained above from their mother land Ethiopia – receiving the curse of a betrayed and mutilated mother who still is bleeding from other stabbings by people who reside in her own power house.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">King Solomon was known for his judicious works of wisdom. One of his works of wisdom was: two women came to his court calming that a child is theirs. He had no technology to use DNA test or he did not form a jury to make his decisions, instead he used his wisdom of identifying what a true mother will do to her child. He demanded a sward and asked one of his aids to bring the child forward. He then told to the two women that he is going to divide the child and you take your shares—when he raised his sward pretending to cut the child, the real mother fallen on top of her child to protect him from death while the pseudo mother stood quietly and watched the drama. Then Solomon made his DNA analysis of wisdom and gave the child to the real mother. It is this type of betrayal and test that Ethiopia has witnessed and lived for the last 20+ years, and knew who the real children and who the phony ones are. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">From this time onwards, all Ethiopians and their friends of reason and decency, wherever they live should hold accountable those individuals who run a political campaign against Ethiopia and one particular ethnic group and perpetuate and teach a genocidal curriculum of pseudo-politics to innocent people who even are not able to read. Such hate originated pseudo-political runs targeting a particular ethnic group, to isolate, humiliate, feel guilty of their past (for doing a bravery work of patriotism to keep the country free, independent and proud to its children of all generations ) and eliminate politically from their country should be resisted and fought to the end and be treated as a campaign of genocide. Such actions when seen should be filed and reported to international organizations that work on such matters across the globe. No person of authority who holds a government office in contemporary Ethiopia speaks against Ethiopia and its past and against an ethnic group, as he/she represents the highest power of the land in which all individuals should feel and receive equality of law protection and where Ethiopia gets the highest protection as a country.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">All the above issues I raised and discussed in brief are few of the things that determine the stability or the chaotic and erratic behavior of the political structure that Ethiopia and Ethiopians deserve to have or forced not to have. Since no human being of reason needs to form and live in chaotic systems except bad people with sinister motives, Ethiopia and Ethiopians need to create a political structure that is stable. Therefore conditions of stability should be identified, created and implemented. I will list few of them:<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">· Promote curricula of cultural developments that promote tolerance, lasting peaceful coexistence and purpose for the benefit of all to future generations. Political works and decisions should not be only for single generations, but for several generations to come. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">· Develop a tradition of debate to solve differences by peaceful means and be able to agree even when in disagreement and work together. This habit eliminates the formation of chaos and instability—as chaos is a phenomenon when things are going apart as time goes bye because of disagreements.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">· Develop schools and learning institutes across the country so that the country will have well educated, capable of thinking, reasoning and imaginative work force that is vital to the developments of the country in making wise and scientific decisions in understanding and solving problems for stability, and leaders of that capacity with wider knowledge and wisdom of things that are political, economic and social of local and/or global in nature with a developed sense of virtue so that they give priority to public causes than theirs, give preference to reason than nonsense and sensations, use virtue than vile—which all lead to stability than chaos.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">· Establish effective infra-structures of communications and transport which are vital to local economic developments and cross cultural understanding, because of mobility of people from one corner to another for economic reasons due to the existence of such means and there bye creates opportunities for people to know and understand each other. Knowing creates understanding and understanding creates to be closer which again is a source of stability. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">· Develop a constitution that is modern, civilized and fits contemporary societies of the world. Erase completely the notion of ethnicity, nation and nationalities. Completely ban establishing political parties by ethnic lines and stop ethnic parties to have power and mandate to rule over a proper constituent with multitudes of Ethiopian of different ethnic members--which practically is an abuse of power over others of a new sinister type, which amounts to make them feel aliens and strangers in their own country and in fact criminalizes their existence there. These terms and political strategies were simply created and used to control crowd of different stalks, where a political group (of a minority size or alien type) in power uses them in order to stay on top of all of the different stalks of people and use resources they have to places where the political group came from and also to stay in power indefinitely until they all come to know that the method used was a trick on them. In fact this method of tribal arrangements put those who are categorized by ethnicity to a lower level of social consciousness and political developments than the ones who rule them being on top. It was used by dictators of extraordinaire brutality and also by European colonists to rule by dividing – To utilize unknown territory that was occupied by different stalks of people, first they have to control it and to do that they had to create ( even if there are none ) pseudo parameters of differences among people to divide them and magnify that by some magnification factors and keep telling them wherever they are, when they are together or alone, until that parameter permeates in to the psyche of the society. Then after, the people will lose sense of cohesion and oneness and start to fight each other in which his former natural neighbor now becomes his deadly immediate enemy of survival. This is what was/is used and happened/happening in Ethiopia since the new group came to power.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Therefore, a constitution that recognizes the social developments Ethiopians, which is of modern and civilized, and that guarantees liberty and protects rights of an individual, that nurtures social trust to local and central governments by its citizens, is the one which creates stability. It is surprising that individuals of a different ethnic group are living in places with political umbrella established to a different ethnic group. Is this not a paradox not only thinking but of a simple fact of together living in one place! How could a big tree tells smaller plants that are growing beneath, that they should be of its type in order to get a weather protection, if not just get dead or it is up to you! The funny thing is that the big tree is standing on a land not owned by it but by the central government. Is that even possible in nature? What does it mean when an ethnic party whose main political mission is to take care of the welfare of that ethnic group and threats others as outsiders is given a mandate to rule a place that constitutes multitudes of different and mixed types of people, without even having a power to own the land--as land is owned by the government ---a display of overlaps of impossibles and tricks by sinister stalks of manipulative person s of ideology and world understanding of a medieval times ? Suppose there is only one medicine left in a pharmacy run by an ethnic group X for a deadly disease. Two people came who need that medicine, one from ethnic group X and the other from a different ethnic group but lives there. How will the pharmacy make a decision on this? <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">· To establish a judiciary system that is free from influence of any political power, not nominally as is always, but in practice. Every citizen of the country should feel that he/she indeed has a free and independent law protection and foreigners alike.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">· Establish a press law that guarantees the freedom of expression and free speech with no string attached. No person has to be criminalized for what he thinks, said or written --- that is just wrong and uncivilized political behavior. Censorship is not the job of a government but of a reader.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">· Create and protect conditions that guarantee political protection and economic vitality to its future existence globally and restore its historical power house that it had in the horn of Africa. In this regard we have seen the humiliating treatment Ethiopia is getting and bowing for the last 20+ years to Djibouti and other neighboring countries for port use. It has been reported time and again by all global financial organizations and known economists and from my outsider economic theory understanding but mathematical reasoning, courtiers with no sea out lets are bound to remain under constrained political power and economic growth and hence will always have controlled overall growth. Sea boundaries and ports are like doors to a home and air ducts to a person and you do not have to let these very fundamental parts of your home and body be controlled by others who at times want to chock you to death when they do not like you or sided with your enemy and blocks your movement and locked you up in a nest like a bird and makes your life miserable, which in this case is the political and economic life of Ethiopia -- unless you are a person devoid of a smallest wisdom and lack basic understanding of world politics of the human society of the last several centuries. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Therefore, Ethiopia should regain its natural sea out let and restores its natural port of Assab and red sea coast line using all legal means available. Political works are not to give comforts to leaders and individuals who reside in that country at a particular time, but instead to have a vision and do political works so that current generations be benefited and future generations be at a different but better place than past generations and therefore be appreciative of what past generations have done to them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">· Teach citizens civics lessons—what their duties, rights and responsibilities are? What a country is and its values to a person? What is a constitution and an army to the country?. These things are vital to create unison among all its citizens and give value and trust to their country and government, treat the constitution as their true document of a lasting harmonious existence. Citizens should learn and know that the army is paying an ultimate price to keep their safety and peace and the territorial integrity of their country. Therefore they have to always pay tribute to that sacrifices and give a value, develop patriotism and a sense of what a country is – a place of immense value to work, live, educate their children and enjoy life freely in peace, protected by the blood of its citizens who are their brothers and sisters. Trivializing and denying these values makes a citizen treasonous and be charged with such crimes and caste out by the society at all time. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<em>Remark</em>: After I posted this article, the Cuban leader Fidel Castro said that Communism does not work. It did not work for them and will not work for any body. Therefore those groups ( EPRP, EPLF, TPLF, OLF: almost all have strange and mocking acronyms from the outset) who copied pamphlets of socialism from China, Russia and Cuba, and messing our society with self destruction, nihilism and cultural abandonment for last decades learnt that what they were doing was absolutely nonsense.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<em> </em><br />
<em>CIVILIZED POLITICS IS IMPERATIVE TO <span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">CONTEMPORARY</span> SOCITIES</em></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I read an article by Mr. Obang Metho, regarding an unknown personality with a pseudonym- Dr. Megalomanias, who uses an American journal (American Chronicle ) to seed hate and saw genocide in Ethiopia. I personally wrote to him several times thinking that he was a <span style="background-color: white;">person</span> of reason and thinking who needs to wish good, not only to Ethiopians but to all of mankind. It was an excellent, excellent article that gives perfect pills to almost all ills he wanted to happen in Ethiopia and to make Ethiopians be aware of such sinister motives of ill will and ill desire to our mutual existence from unknown source for unknown reasons. I say well done to Mr. Obang. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">In line with this man’s unknown personality and his ill desires and plans that he dreams to happen and the political passage the ruling group is taking the country, some additional items may be good to recall so that one can connect and get a larger picture of who is who and who for what:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I will start from the time where TPLF came to power and what they have done and are still doing:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. The complete dismissal of centuries long Ethiopian history of existence as an old and independent proud country and limiting its age only to 100 years, in order to manipulate and deceive the southern people of Ethiopia and fell them in the trap to stir chaos and social turbulence, and to let the needed friend in arms get real estate out of Ethiopia, as a good will gesture of friendship, and the erratic and casual way of partitioning Ethiopia to benefit their future desires: getting greater share for them from around provinces and fomenting an ever ending ethnic conflicts. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. The campaign of TPLF and its entourages who accompanied it to Addis Ababa, to dismantle the statue of King Minelik II, as soon as they arrived at Addis Ababa. I will mention here what a person from Ghana said then. Are these new group of Ethiopians out of their minds? He questioned the wisdom of the then ruling groups collectively chose the name EPRDF and OLF who advocated and supported the elimination of the statue of Menilik from Piassa --Addis Ababa. He further said, their country is willing to buy the statue of Minilik, if they are willing to give it. In fact, he said any African country is willing to take this priceless statue-- it is one of the most valuable historical items that Africa at large and Ethiopia in particular have. How dare they wanted this to happen in their own country? Are not these new groups Ethiopians or other camouflaged look alike traitors of Ethiopia and Africa? He was outraged equally as the demonstrators in the street who opposed the idea of demolishing the statue of Minilik and shouting: NO! NO! to demolish the statue of Minilik..No! they shouted. The good thing though, was nothing happened on the statue and it still exists proudly.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. From these long standing sinister desires and intended plans of actions and their all time absence from celebrations of Ethiopian national holidays—such as the Adwa—victory day, etc, one can extrapolate his/her thinking as to what the inner motives and their unknown personalities of the TPLF leaders are to Ethiopia, its existence and its people. Recently a friend of mine mentioned to me that he has never heard the prime minister saying the name Ethiopia except only when he wants to call EPRDF. It is also an open secret that he has never attended any commencement of Ethiopian schools and or colleges and universities unlike all leaders of other countries. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. The constant barrage of hate and genocidal campaigns made by members of EPRDF, about the Amhara people across the country, including those who were members of a so called sub-section of EPRDF from the Amhara people lead by the then Tamirat Layne—defense minister and prime minister at one point but ended up in prison and exiled latter to America. They (including Tamirat ) savagely made a genocidal official campaign against their own race —the Amhara people vilifying them in the south and in Eritrea, whose consequences of those hate crimes were apparent immediately, both in the south and in Eritrea as well. Families were killed greasily, mothers were butchered and their unborn children were cut out from their mothers’ womb and slit their throats because they were fetuses of Amhara neighbors. Golden teeth were taken out and taken from individuals, because they were Ethiopians in Eritrea. The crimes committed on Ethiopia and Ethiopians were endless after the advent of these groups and it is not yet abating. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">5. The constant use of terms from the dictionary of the Rwanda genocide perpetrators by the prime minister of Ethiopia, though looked to intimidate the Ethiopians but deep in his thinking and desire not caring the consequences and even wishing to happen at the end, if they happen to lose power. He recalls these genocidal words instantly as reflex actions, which show his cognitive motives and genocidal social desires-- an ever seen type of power thirsty groups that hold power with sheer force from the Burrell of guns in modern Ethiopian history who have complete detest for Ethiopia and its history, whose only philosophy of existence is that of a donkey which says “ let no grass grow if I will die”. A good political leader is not this type—instead a person who is impartial and has an immense love and affections to his/her people, not to hurt a single one of them at any cost ,but instead defends the rights, safety and security of every citizen. The one that says the opposite of what the donkey says—“ let me do the right thing until I die—including resigning and or handing power to society on time, during times of continuous social ills, so that my people see the new place of love, prosperity, happiness and peaceful coexistence after ”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is therefore a civic duty and responsibility to all Ethiopians to be aware of and be wise to know what is truth and lasting to generations to come and what is ephemeral and deceiving that lasts only to a one person’s power time.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Americans say this: “Freedom is accompanied with constant vigilance”. They are absolutely correct. Ethiopians should also know this and they should not be always passengers of a political merry go round which always cycles the same way and traces same places in the same time intervals. Know that Ethiopians are not children to be mocked at and tricked and deceived by any other sinister motives of domestic or alien sources, which at first looked sugar minted and coated for our senses, but inside deadly venoms to the fabrics of our society and its mutual coexistence to future generations. It is also important to know that the world is converging towards oneness and all problems are almost common and global to humanity than to ethnic types and local. Therefore the idea of going apart by an obsolete primitive social parameter of ethnicity will not have place in contemporary societies, except only in those who are uncivilized and destined to butcher each other until they come to their senses and attain a modern social developments as others.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">These things therefore require constant teachings. It is from the Bible that questions this: why bad people rule? Answer: because good people keep silent. But at the same time it is a fact of numeric and dynamics of social stability that the majority in any society are good people and therefore if the majority do not keep silent, then for sure the very few bad minorities will disappear—not physically but their ideas, and good things grow and prosper. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As a break through to solve at least problems and reasons why people cannot come to terms for the collective good of contemporary generations and huge benefits of life, prosperity and peaceful coexistence as a strong people to future generations, let all of us agree to abolish identifying an individual by ethnicity and let us stop creating political parties based on ethnic tags. Because ethnicity will be used by bad people as a measure of everything that is social, economic and political, and therefore it will be a barometer of coexistence, either of peaceful at times and or genocidal at another. This had been the case in history of human existence and we witnessed it recently across the globe in societies who stack in medieval times of socio-political behaviors. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have a practical example to tell for this. I have two friends who were best friends in Ethiopia and worked together shared same office for years and came to study here to the same university. But I found out they do not talk to each other anymore now here in America—because of the political temperature measured by ethnic barometer where they happened to belong to different ethnic groups. I pose a question to all of you to think, imagine and reflect for a moment —if learnt people with highest degree cannot communicate peacefully and understand the falsity and fallacy of ethnic politics and its far reaching devastating social consequences and indicate and explain to their fellow illiterate and naïve citizens who in most cases are convinced by emotions than by reason , the contradictions and dangers of ethnicity and political fire plays with it, then we are in deep trouble not only now but for centuries to come and we are lost. That is the political state in which Ethiopians inside and abroad are forced to accept and forced to live with—danger—danger--danger-..<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Even the most trusted heavenly social rock of unison and symbol of peaceful coexistence—Christianity is not safe from this dangerous venom of ethnicity and local thinking. God does not have ethnic origin, is not sexist and is not by any means local. There are as many churches in America as the number of different types of ethnic groups and local thinkers—sad to see and sad to present ourselves to the modern world of the 21st century—where ethnicity and local thinking in most civilized countries are primitive identifying social parameters. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The disciples of Jesus once asked him how others can identify them that they are his followers and he replied to them; “they will identify you only by your unity, desire and display of love towards each and every one of you”. But we have hope in all these mess -- the Ethiopian people have refused to accept and do what the sinister groups are devising for them and forcing them to do. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I commend such a timely work!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sincerely,<br />

<em> </em><br />
<em>REENACTMENT OF THE PAST IS NOT A MODERN THINKING AND CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL PLAY</em></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">We Ethiopians as part and parcel of the modern and contemporary society, have to be partners not only in locations of troubles and problems but places of minds and solutions to common problems of man.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Pseudonyms which pop up whenever an idea of sympathy and goodwill for the motherland Ethiopia and its innocent and humble people who happened to be victims of sinister groups who hold power by a historical mischief on their behalf is posted, are not what they pretend to be. These pseudonyms have peculiar features: They always pretend they are Oromo- and express their ideas in a violent angry confrontational and anti - argument of a modern and civilized type, denigrating and attacking the writers -- convincing you electronically (virtually) that if they be with you in person they will butcher you or obliterate you to death by any attacking weapon at their disposal and converting the civilized forum of ideas and debate of minds to a landfill of nasty, name calling, mudslinging place of suffocation by offense and stinks of a higher magnitude in order to force you out and remain invisible -- tactics learned from illiterate, good for the past, extreme supporters and members of EPLF, TPLF, OLF. They pretend to paint that only the Oromo people are ant-Ethiopian who will deny its existence as a country that trusts and proud of its children for their achievements who recognize and put her name amongst nations who were glorious in the past and prosperous now, taking care of its citizens very well and a proud member of the developed nations.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">At the other end, they always write and paint, the ones who love Ethiopia to their death, how poor it may be are the Amhara people or the learnt ones which they call them elites -- Which again is a wrong interplay of facts and reasons, simply to attract and prove sensually the innocent, humble and unlearnt majority citizens of the country who failed to be victims of such a socio-political nonsense for the last 20+ years that have never seen in any place on the face of earth. Few such pseudonyms used for such purposes are : oromboona=Bacuu= iticha ( who wrote me one time that he is a mathematician as I am but with a better position) , and azeb, etc. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Up close study and analysis, these pseudonyms purely display a personality who does suffer from socio-psychological problems who need psychiatric attentions. They do not display either a learnt or at least a common sense understanding and thinking in which higher levels and ultimate desires and capacities of the human race and its socio-political and economic achievements are in developing means and mechanisms to communicate, understand, built and utilize human knowledge and the natural resources of earth optimally and wisely and function and live together for the collective good and greater purpose of mankind here on earth. In the contrast, the behaviors we see from these “ good will ambassadors” to our Oromo people are however, something from the unknown -- advocates of social chaos and turbulence of any order for a purpose of unknown in an unknown world in which there is no measure of time and space, where the only villain to them remains to be Ethiopia and Ethiopians only—the weapon they use to annihilate is, innocent but unlearnt Ethiopians themselves or simply its children of a particular type, which again displays a sinister motive behind—by telling them that Ethiopia was a poor and bad mother, she was not fair to all her children, even some of them should say she was not their mother at all. Is it not sad ? </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">But just for curiosity: go visit Ethiopia and ask those real citizens from all corners. They will tell you that they love their country Ethiopia and will pay the ultimate price for her as their forefathers did. It is not Ethiopia that was/is the problem then and now, instead, they are the people and their lack of wisdom and knowledge who made and make decisions on their behalf and the slow progress of modern thinking and civilization in their country. They will tell you, instead of bringing books, schools, learning and preaching commonness and strengthening the good neighborliness of peaceful co-existence that they know for centuries, they come with something alien to their peaceful and harmonious coexistence –ethnicity- a stone age anti-social weapon of dividing strength to rule and subjugate: a time machine that not only counts in reverse but forces them to live in reverse and in the past.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">They need their representatives first and foremost to be learnt, wise, imaginative and visionary who will not be cheated by jargons and phrases only of sensual values, from those who are sinister in nature. They need people who have inner desires to accelerate their slow and backward socio-economic life towards the modern world, not keeping them or decelerating backwards to be laughing stalks of contemporary societies. They do not want those people who force them to stay in the past, use pebbles and abacus to count and think, whose highest achievement designed is to avenge, revenge, meddle and be champions of the past in a reenactment play, while the civilized world is using the language of science, mathematics and technology advancing forward in unison using one wagon of the future, with one noble and wise oath—“not to replay and reenact any bad part of the past which was common and rampant in every corners of the world where man lived, but to learn from it” with the grand motto of oneness : “a right denied for one is a right denied for all”. The oneness of man on earth is therefore a fact and forgone conclusion for all civilized members of human societies. Since then, these civilized societies take earth as a common home for the human race, welcome every human being to their place of living or country as a refuge or otherwise and start searching for outer galactic places of destiny and explorations in which the future man can go and survive there or get information that benefit the existence of man here on earth in a better way. These are the time lines and the thinking modality and Vivendi of the contemporary society. That is why everybody lives anywhere on earth as long as he/she is not anti-social or anti-coexistence locally or globally.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">By the way it is a fact of a singularity phenomenon in any dynamical system that we can make the statement: those Ethiopians who grew up, homed, benefited and educated to be Ethiopian, but later because of a sinister and illiterate friend advice and story abolish their loyalty to Ethiopia will never be loyal to any country whom they get refuge or citizenship. They will never be loyal to any friendship and any coexistence bills they signed under oath before, either here on earth or outside -- who knows where mankind will be in the future. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Therefore, our people do not need politicians or representatives on their behave who put them at the end part of a module of a rocket - wagon of civilization, ( because of lack of wisdom, knowledge and above all unwilling to learn) of modern society, which will later be released and go downwards while the rocket is moving upwards, but instead in the cabin of the rocket as all other civilized societies who will be where others will be and who will learn, reason, imagine, think and create as others and contribute to scientific developments of mankind equally as others. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But sadly, when the rocket- wagon of contemporary society rises up vertically, imagine the direction in which our people were/are moving ? —backward towards the ground where the rocket begins its flight. That was/is where our people were/are forced to be for the last several years and want them to remain. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
Democratic processes are more of a culture than a onetime good political action.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The power of ideas and free will debate : narrow the gap that is perceived by groups and make them get closer, for further understanding and thereby either eliminate differences or understand differences and work in harmony. Differences after all are not bad things, instead they are reasons for thinking alternatives which might be better and functioning for both sides. These habits also keep us out of emotions and sensations, so that we always make good decisions that are stable, well thought with values to all that are lasting.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is therefore important to make a change of mind set and work habits, when it comes to censorship-Just do not do it. Let the reader decide which ideas are worth considering and which are not. Which ideas are anti-social and anti-coexistence, anti-growth, untimely and out of contemporary thinking. Most of us came from Ethiopia, because of a complete absence of freedom of expression and a non existence of rule of law- I heard today from a you-tube video, where the prime minister of Ethiopia saying, if their government decides that the eye color of a person is not something they do not want to see, then he said, they can kick him out of the country. This is a display in microcosm of a system which functions without any law and with no regard to the common and trivial human universal rights ratified by all member countries of the united nations-let alone a country whose leaders pretend it to be democratic and everything associated with it--that terrifies me.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Think the extrapolations of what he has said. If all countries who gave refuge to we all Ethiopians and other world citizens have the type of sub-law the prime minister is using, then the earth would have been practically hell. No man will go and live in places where he is different not only in his eye color, but in every possible dimensions that differentiate humans. Can you all imagine that type of world in your dreams ?. This is a type of sub-thinking which was common during the first stages of human evolution, when cavemen came out of their caves and encountered people who did not see them before, it was in this way they used to respond, live and survive, not in contemporary societies, in which all types of people live everywhere in the world in harmony under the fine thread of humanity and common home earth.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But all those things which happen in our country are alien here in America. We are free to express our ideas and our rights are protected by law with being equal to all citizens and government authorities. No man will come to our door and arrest us because of what we have said or what we have written, or who we support or vote for. These are the main things that differentiate the country we left- Ethiopia and the country we live in- America and these are the things we have to learn and practice to do while we are here in America and these are the things we have to wish for Ethiopia and its citizens—a free country in all possible and conceivable dimensions of existence of a free individual. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As a side note though, I will say this: in order to develop a positive culture of debate which is free and open, we all have to use our own names-not anonymous ones. Anonymity usually gives a space for an irresponsible and less virtuous individual to put something un necessary scripts, like a man named Dr. Megalomanias Mahammad--- from American Chronicle who posts not only anti-Ethiopia, but utterly false and nonsense articles.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ideas are works of the brain and the brain needs clean environment to function properly. Therefore, we have to restrain from writing words that are immature, built and strengthened by naivety and devoid of wisdom and virtue and above all have no truth in them. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sincerely,</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Dejenie Alemayehu Lakew, Ph.D.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">CATCH UP/TOMATO PAINTED PAST POLITICAL WOUND FOR SENSATION BUT WITH NO WOUND INSIDE<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ethiopia is one of the oldest countries in the world with antique recorded history of civilization, whose formation is precisely the same way as other countries of the world. Before, during and after European colonization of most countries of the world including all african countries with the exception of our country, Ethiopia existed and survived all testing times in its long existence as in independent country with the heroic and heroines act of children of all its tribes. For that, we all Ethiopians irrespective of ethnicities are grateful, proud and pay tribute for that. Unfortunately after the advent of socialism as a socio-economic philosophy to create a fair share of wealth in societies, our country followed that path not by natural fit but by force imposed on her. This imposition was a result of few things:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. The inability of the ruling imperial group at the time to solve the country’s social, economic and political problems on time- not because of a political will, but because of luck of institutions and trained man power to solve the problems that were immense in size and complicated in nature.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. The sinister motive to sensationalize the problems coining with the Eritrean question of separation, separatist groups manipulated the youth to be mobilized and throw the government to establish a socialist government that will provide freedom to all tribes beginning from Eritrea. To our surprise and dismay they succeeded in doing that and obtained college student leaders from country sides who were naïve to politics and world affairs who supported the idea, fought for it and died for it. These high school and colleges students who literary copied ideas of socialism through pamphlets and multitudes of copies of books, galvanized the illiterate society with the talks and slogans of socialism and put the country into civil war for several years. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">As a result of these and the slow expansion of education in the country, came the contemporary political state in which our country is. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">In all these turmoil times, the majority of the groups who used weapons to prove their illiterate understanding of socialism and beliefs of its immense power, did not show a minimal respect and consideration to their country Ethiopia- in fact they looked though they were fighting to get rid of the country and make its name obsolete, and create their own fiefdoms and later be named presidents of each section and get a sit in the UN, instead of protecting their motherland, the country they grew up, where their fathers and forefathers died for it and putting in place a better and functioning social and political order of what they imitated it as socialism. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">An example of a family tragedy to mention: If a person is seek, he does not have to call a criminating center or a physician who will dismember his body parts as per his request, and latter the physician says to his family members that what he had requested and what I have done did not work and actually the person is dead with all its body parts apart. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">This was what their plan, but by a political chance on behave of Ethiopia things took a different turn and course. The plan did not function totally as needed, because of a change of desire from some groups.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Returning back to students movement and consequences. Among the many groups who believed these ideas, fought for it with guns savagely with no sense of humanity, to realize their political nihilism, and cannibalism and at the end total destruction of Ethiopia, were ELF, TPLF, OLF and intentionally incubated latter day saints of tribes. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">After all these things happened on her and lost some of its body parts, Ethiopia survived with scars of betrayal, nihilism and humiliation from its own children. To all who did these to her, Ethiopia paid for their education, for their health, for their homage in her own capacity and source of pride, as a country that existed un conquered, independent, co-equal, and respected by others and different from other countries, Ethiopia deserved better from its children. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Groups like OLF, their supporters and individuals still do continue to instigate harm to her by re-introducing an unknown sociology story that they tried for the last 21 + years, but whose only political success was to made their supporters and Ethiopia complete properties to the ruling group which is in power now. I do not understand why our country and people should be re-introduced to the same sociology course whose theory is old, whose time on the axis of state formations and social development is well far behind the 21st century or year 2010 and above all dysfunctional to the modern society. It is also a surprise to most of us why OLF and its few supporters always mention, Gadda of the Oromo elders is a different type of political and social system which is useful and good to be imitated. But it is just not the case. There is no human society which did not reach and had that type of way of social existence before it developed to the modern type. In fact it is one of the common preliminary stages of social development and state formations in human political evolution. To be frank, not only humans, but all living creatures who live only in their types do have sophisticated social orders. They have sophisticated hierarchy of command, divisions of labor and sophisticated defense mechanisms for their group survival in the immense jungle or wilderness that they live. Point in case, bees, ants and other desert and jungle animals.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Besides which country (ies) is (are) established differently from the establishment of Ethiopia? Take for instance the country in which we live now-USA. It was not allowed until recently, particular races to vote, to own a property, to share a bath room and faucet, move freely, to share same churches and schools. Women irrespective of races were not allowed, not only to run for office but to vote, and still women and men get unequal payments to the same job. It was also socially permitted to discriminate particular races to get and not to get employment and it was even illegal to marry different races. Still as we speak, few of the above problems exist . </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then to you all: OLF and the likes with similar but obsolete ideas and political goals of nowhere:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Question:</strong></em> Which Ethiopian past parallels or equals the social, political and economic past of USA I have indicated above? </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Answer</strong></em>: NONE.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">But neither groups, races nor sexes that were victims of all these distant and recent pasts, demand the type of political structure, domain and nihilism you are proposing for Ethiopia then and now, where the defunct OLF and the existing ruling group prescribed some 20 years ago, and nor indeed Ethiopia had these types of political past. Actually Ethiopia has better political, social and economic past, with better political and social records, when it comes to coexistence of different races, sexes and religions than most countries of the world at large and America in particular. This has been seen, verified, proved and testified by senior and junior world leaders of different religions of the world. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is therefore my humble opinion that we propose ideas that will help the Ethiopian society to develop confidence of living together, to develop, live and work free, prosper and escape the cycle of poverty and backwardness and move forward to the 21st century along with all peoples of the world.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am glad to invite you to read my short note regarding OLF and the likes, the paradox of their political understanding of social developments, state formations, their time lines, existence and purpose in my blog: http://dejalanalysis.blogspot.com</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Axiom: In any discourse, either social, political, religious or otherwise, presenting ideas in a civilized way and treating your opponents with respect are acts of virtue.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Besides to be at least on the better side of humanity, make sure your acts should have some elements from each of the following three important ingredients of a modern personality which I call them traits of modernity that will lead mankind to a better and understanding world that accommodates us all.<br />
</div> ♠. VIRTUE <br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: times new roman;">IT IS WHAT IS SAID, NOT WHO SAID IT, THAT MATTERS<br />
</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: times new roman;">This comment is for people who validate ideas and arguments by association or ethnicity, not by proper reasoning procedures. It is not who said it or who did, what matters and what you need to see carefully, but what is said and what has been done, that make all of us one and free of guilt by associations. Think for a minute how possible it is to make you commit a colossal mistake of a crime of humanity by changing a name of a person to a name of your types and make him one of you and believe him to do a huge planned human tragedy, but latter, you will discover that the person was not actually your types. The person did that for a political gamble and sinister motives using the opportunity and the power that he has to make you believe and do the crime by your hand.<br />
<br />
We all know and is an open secret that this type of crime has been done in our country for the last several years, where individuals from different groups are assigned pseudo-names that will fit and camouflage localities, and do huge political plunders in the name of those local people or ethnic groups or tribes. But latter they will learn and complain that the individuals actually were not from their types, instead from another group. They cannot bring back what have been done wrong on behalf of their names and cannot minimize the size of damages that have been done and cannot control the damage to the future either. They simply get bitter and bitter, bite their teeth and live with remorse, guilt and feeing of betrayal. At the same time, victims of that act will always have images of people who are guilty of a colossal crime by associations.<br />
<br />
Therefore for our political, social and economic mutual existence of a far reaching destiny, we have to find and accept ideas which are morally correct, commonly good to all of us, which are valid and useful irrespective of tribal differences. It is proper and human to reason, learn and know what is lasting and what is ephemeral. We humans, what differentiate us from other species is our ability to reason and think , the power we have from our brain. Not simply to look, smell, touch, hear, taste and make decisions- not at all. These are purely decisions based on inputs from our senses, which in most cases lead to false conclusions and thereby wrong decisions. A very thinly sweet coated matter may be something which is extremely sour and deadly after the tiny cover has finished. That means we do not have to make our decisions solely based on inputs from our senses. We need to analyze, make tests, re-test and reason and check the validity of things. That is our superior capacity from other species. Otherwise we will be like other species, where hunters or naturalists who camouflage to hunt or to get up close and see wild and exotics species. In order to camouflage they have to have a costumes of camouflaging not only by color, but by size, way of walking, body structures, etc . They will never know that they are different from them, because they do not have the thinking capacity as to how to check whether they are a real one of them or a camouflaged but different beings.<br />
<br />
To rest my point dear friend, please make political ideas to be your shelters and find a group of ideas, not a group of types and tribes. You did not mention a single point to criticize or comment a posting, instead you comment on the name of the person who wrote it. What will you say if the name of the person was from your group? Are you going to say the things you have said or will you simply say well written my fellow man, since the name is in your right group!<br />
<br />
Let us not repeat mistakes we have been doing for the last decades and continue the pain to the innocent millions because of our ill advised judgments and wrong decisions.<br />
Life, liberty, freedom and pursuit of happiness are all natural individual rights and therefore we have to work to that end. All those rights will not be rights to all if there is one individual amongst us who is devoid of a single of those rights.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: times new roman;"></span></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">
