Yes, Ethoash, if you are born in NY, you could go to Texas and apply for student loan. The US education ministry runs the program. But Texas expects you to dole out a lot of money because you are an out of state student. Yes, the federal system is not “ plug and play” kind of thing. It needs time to...

Selam, I do not need Amharic translation. I write read, and listen the language proficiently. I know what the general said. Do I have to remind you again I was born and raised in Addis where the polished Amharic is spoken.

Axumawi, it is not wise to comment about something you have no clue about as you do. In USA military personnel , I hope you would not accuse of the generals of dictatorship, constantly give information to journalists. In fact, CNN and many other media organizations have journalists especiffically as...

I watched the video. There was no a single sentence that was directed as a threat towards Temesgen. Yes, the general said the Temsgen “bere welde.” That was not a threa. That means, according to the general, Temsgen is not that of a journalist caliber. Any Ethiopian has a right to say whether Temsge...

You got it wrong about EPRP, Axumawi. Those who detest ethnic politics chose not to be dictated by TPLF political elites and chose to go to Sudan. The other EPRP members accepted that the Ethiopian political divide was not class, but ethnic, and chose to take orders from Meles and colleagues. Well, ...

What happening is, Axumawi, the federalism you claimed TPLF gave us, which you constantly implied that we should be thankful of TPLF for it, federalism Ethiopian style is in action. You be born in Armacho and you should die in Armacho, Gonder. Birhanu Nega who was born in Nazareth and grew up in Add...

No, you are not supposed to close shop, Ethoash. I have a totally different political orientation than you and Halafi. But I do believe you both are sincere in your belief. I need you around to kick your fallacy. The other guys who write in ER who happens to be from the same neighborhood as yours, I...

Time has changed significantly, Halafi. When the TPLF old guards raised arms to unseat the “Amhara’s” government, probably a few of them read a book from cover to cover. They probably read only every page of the Walelegn’s national question paper. But today a 10th grade Tigrean student could goggle ...

Sorry for addressing you in the wrong name, DTT.

DDT, thanks for posting the video. Rarely do I watch from beginning to end an Ethiopian political or military leaders’ speech. I heard however this time every sentence of the general with interest. He is well-informed, unbiased, truthful, moreover a true Ethiopian. I loved his speech. About Temesgen...

By definition transition entails choas. Ethiopia has not had the culture of democracy. Competition between rival parties might not be as civil as Ethiopians wish it to be. But we will grow out of it. That the existence of Ethiopia as a country depends on TPLF guiding, I repeat, has been a “teret” sc...

Halafi, do not delude yourself in believing that Ethiopia remains intact because of EPDRF. The opposite is true. Ethiopia has been unstable because of EPDRF. If EPDRF dies tomorrow nothing changes. Life goes on . New political parties and those on opposition compete to lead. The ordinary Ethiopians ...

The TPLF politicians have not been political savvy, just had been lucky. Of course, EPDRF has been dying slowly for more than a year now. It was impossible to declare EPDRF dead and bury it officially a year ago for obvious reasons. From some of the top EPDRF politicians who had invested in ethnic p...

The response is timely and right. The TPLF political elites seem to live in a world of their own. The year is not 1991. The leaders of the Amhara flavor of EPDRF are not Berket and Addisu. The new leaders cannot take orders from the TPLF know-nothings. Yes, TPLF issued an order that states the Amhar...

Abebe b, the TPLF trick is still working on you. The TPLF party elites encouraged the OPDO guys to dwell on Afan Oromo, and encouraged them that they should chase Amharic from every town and village of Oromia. In the mean time the TPLF political elites have encouraged the Tigray boys and girls to le...

About the two points Abebe b, to master Amharic one should not necessarily be born of Amhara parents. Stress on the word should. On the entertainment you implied that you get from Ethio 360, you chose the wrong venue to entertain yourself. Being bombarded by opinions wich is not laced with facts is ...

Abebe b, your trying to compare Menilik’s politics with that of NAMA politicians is uncalled for. Menilik had seen politics nationally for which he was called by every evil names existing by ethnic politicians. The NAMA politicians however are sectarian. They appeal to their “likes.” What is worst t...

Abebe b, I have a feeling you are struggling with the Amharic language, especially that is spoken in piassa, Addis Abeba. The piassa “ lejoch” when they say somebody “becheche” they mean he lost his mind. If you believe the Ethiopian 360 guys do not have it up there, why you keep watching them? In m...
