Sam,
stay away from unhelpful words like tabliod etc. You and I are on ER precisely because we are not Habtamu. ESAT journalists are brilliant observers of the Ethiopian process. That is point one.
Then, please don't repeat the tired slogan that Abiye must navigate the tribal stormy ocean !!! please !! He is part of the ocean. Here is an example - Abiye could hire able professionals to high posts based on skill and merit. The nation is demanding that but he is serving his tribal base. Well, that is what TPLF did !!! Remember ? That is the 2nd. point.
Then, stop saying that Abiye should not listen to the public opinion - well that is Mengistu did and Meles did. Abiye will fall badly the day he refuses to listen.
In short, if Abiye is anti-tribalism, then he has to show it by practice. He can't go on preaching while he is practicing Oromo version of tribal hegemony !!!!
They say "tell me your friend and I will tell you who you are". Tell me your friend in this case means also tell me who your hero is.
You try hard to look like brilliant but turn around and tell us your brilliant is a certain day's commentator on a TV-station that is not even clear to itself with regard to what it wanted to achieve.
But don't assume all people are also impressed by the attention seekers of your TV stations.
To be honest with you I don't have time to follow what is being said on ESAT and its companions. Does that mean I don't want to inform myself? In contrary, if I get the chance, I think I am someone who loves to go after all informative media out-lets. But that of ESAT and Co. are not to my liking.
At the same time and exposing your shallow understanding of how party politics functions you wish to lecture us that the "PM should hire able professionals to high posts based on skill and merit". But who do you think is against to the idea of hiring someone with skill and merit?
Sorry to say but if I have to say again and again, I have to lecture your dumb a** that the PM of a country is a place holder for the party which is actually the ruler of the country (we call it the ruling party).
He represents the wishes (programs) of the party and is duty bound to implement the strategic plans and programs entrusted on him by the party (in power). He can't simply go away from the line of prescription the party gave to him and still wish to stay there for any longer time.
Of course the so called oppositon can try to lecture us about the skilled and with merit rhetoric but if you ask them back who are those with such qualfication, then they tell you they are the likes of your Habtamu and Ermiyas Legesse of ESAT TV.
It is your right to oppose and bring down the party in power and install your own people in their current positions, but you have no right to try to fool us, we will reciprocate by telling you how you are so foolish in trying that.
We told you many times that there is no capable party in the country right now which could replace the one in power by a means of democratic principles and the actors of those in name opposition party try to tell the internal reform path of the party in power is their own government. That is why I call you losers many times here.
They loudly tell us about TPLF being rermoved from power and if we ask them back who are then making decisions at the top TODAY in their place?
Probably they will tell us they are the likes of Habtamu and Ermiyas Legesse of ESAT TV, they make themselves a laughing stock.
Go back to school and try to learn and understand how party politics functions.
