WE, ETHIOPIANS IN THE DIASPORA, HOLD MELES GUILTY OF HIGH TREASON!
By: ETHIOPIANS IN THE DIAPSORA
WE, ETHIOPIANS IN THE DIAPSORA, HOLD MELES & HIS CRONIES RESPONSIBLE. YET AGAIN, THE SELF-SERVING & CONNIVING INDIVIDUALS WITH MELES ZENAWI - A PERSON WHO NEITHER HAS THE TRUST NOR THE BENEVOLENCE OF THE ETHIOPIAN PEOPLE - AT THE HELM ARE PUSHING ETHIOPIA DOWN INTO THE ABYSS OF NO RETURN. MELES ZENAWI IS A SOLD OUT & TRAITOR OF ETHIOPIA PAR EXCELLENCE. HE IS AN AGENT PROVOCATEUR WHOSE PRIORITY MISSION DURING HIS DECADE LONG TENURE IN OFFICE HAS BEEN TO DESTROY ETHIOPIA FROM WITHIN, SACRIFICE ETHIOPIA & ITS INTERESTS AT THE ALTARS OF THE ETERNAL ENEMIES OF ETHIOPIA.
THE RECENT POLITICAL "CRISIS" IN ETHIOPIA IS NOT ABOUT "WALK-OUTS" OR "PARTY DISCIPLINE". IT IS ABOUT WHAT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF ETHIOPIA & THE ETHIOPIAN PEOPLE. MELES HAS ONCE AGAIN PROVEN THAT ANYONE WHO PUTS THE INTEREST OF ETHIOPIA AT THE FORE - EVEN FROM AMONG HIS MENTORS & FORMER COMRADES IN ARMS - HAS TO BE MUFFLED, OSTRACIZED & SILENCED FOR GOOD. WHAT IS AT STAKE NOW IS, THERFORE, NOTHING LESS THAN THE FUTURE OF ETHIOPIA AS A NATION. WHAT MANY AN INVADER ASPIRED MANY A TIME, YET FAILED, IS NOW BEING REALIZED FROM WITHIN BY THE AGENT PROVOCATEUR MELES & HIS GANG. AS ETHIOPIANS, IT IS OUR TIME-HONOURED DUTY TO STOP MELES & HIS CRONIE. WE HAVE TO ACT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
WE, ETHIOPIANS IN THE DIASPORA CONDEMN THE ILLEGAL & UNCONSTITUTIONAL EXPULSION OF THE TWELVE MEMBERS OF THE TPLF BY MELES & HIS FOLLOWERS.
WE, ETHIOPIANS IN THE DIAPSORA CONSIDER THE WALK-OUT OF THE TWELVE AS NOTHING ELSE THAN AN ACT OF VOTING BY THEIR FEET. THE EXPULSION, CHARACTER ASSASSINATION AND INFRINGEMENTS OF THEIR CIVIC, POLITICAL AND OTHER LIBERTIES DO NOT WARRANT THE DRACONIAN MEASURES & PUNISHMENTS BEING METED OUT ON THE GROUP. FURTHERMORE THE HARRASMENT, CHARACTER ASSASSINATION & SMEAR CAMPAIGN LEVELLED AT THE GROPU ARE CONTRARY TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE PARTY (TPLF).
WE, THERFORE, TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE IT FULLY KNOWN TO ETHIOPIANS & THE WORLD AT LARGE THAT
I. WE HOLD MELES RESPONSIBLE FOR TREASONII. WE HOLD MELES & HIS GROUP ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE ILLEGAL, UNDEMOCRATIC MEASURES TAKEN AGAINST THE "DISSIDENT" GROUP, AS WELL AS THEIR RELATIVES & DEAR ONES
III. WE HOLD MELES & HIS GROUP LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, PHYSICAL OR OTHERWISE, THAT MEBERS OF THE "DISSIDENT" GROUP, THEIR FOLLOWERS & RELATIVES MAY INCUR DUE TO THE ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL UNDEMOCRATIC MEASURES.
WE, MEMBERS OF THE VARIOUS ETHIOPIAN COMMUNITIES IN THE DIASPORA FULLLY COGNIZANT OF THE FACT
I. THE MEMBERS OF THE "DISSIDENT" GROUP ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISEII. MELES & HIS FOLLOWERS HAVE NEITHER THE RIGHT NOR THE MANDATE TO SUSPEND, DISMISS OR ANY WAY OTHER WAY INFRINGE ON THE RIGHTS & DUTIES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE "DISSIDENT" GROUP and
III. WE HOLD MELES & HIS GROUP RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CAVALIER ACTS
IV. THAT THE DRACONIAN MEASURES TAKEN AGAINST THE "DISSIDENTS" OR ANY OTHER REAL OR POTENTIAL SUPPORTERS THUS FAR DEPRIVING THEM OF THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS & LIBERTIES ARE ILLEGAL & UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
WE MEMBERS OF THE VARIOUS ETHIOPIAN COMMUNITIES IN THE DIASPORA DEMAND,THEREFORE,
I. THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INDEPENDENT COMMISSION OF INQUIRY INTO THE MATTER & ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE POLITICAL CRISIS BE ADJUDICATED TO AN INDEPENDENT COMMISSION OF INQUIRY.II. THAT THE INDEPENDENT COMMISSION OF INQUIRY SHOULD HAVE THE FINAL POWERS & SAY IN THE MATTER.
