ER is terribly concerned that as the problems facing Kinijit are ignored, and its leaders and members are unwilling to find solutions, the party is heading for self-destruction... more at:

The truth shall set us free.

Good job Elias!

As a journalist, dont you think you should identify the individuals who are responsible? Say who they are so that they have the opportunity to defend themselves; so that the investigation process can proceed.

ER
You did a good job. Let's be critical. A spade is a spade. But, ER, you have to accept critiques aimed at you as well.

Be well.

ER: Good job, may be even better to mention names and kill the parasites.

It seems like a good information that you have presented here.
It is conceivable that such disarray could occur within an organization that is being pulled from many directions. However I am not clear why the IL does not create a new official website and redirect the fundraising effort, similarly other activities.
If true what is presented here, the paralysis of leadership is doomed to create a serious setback. We pray this is not so.

I agree with Amused Observer.

We need to know who these power hungry scoundrels are who are betraying our trust, while people one hundred times better than them are languishing in jail, sacrificing their liberty and even life for a principle. We would like to know who these Judas are so that they could be held accountable. We also would like to know who these jelly kneed leaders are bending to bullies and ruffians and not able to carry out orders from our imprisoned leaders.

Please Elias, now that you have started we would like you finish it so that we could try to salvage what is left of the SPIRIT! Remember, time is not on our side.

Surafel

Don't drive us nervous! This is a well prepared Propaganda. I don't expect any good news from one of Kehdetu's friend anyway.
I know this is only your opinion no matter you maintain a web site visited by many of us. Fortunately Tensae radio interviewd Ato Andargachew Tsigie about all the rumers you and your likes had written and he replied to all of that. That is giving us great relief! So, I am very glad to know what you are writing about is just your wish, and as a human being you are entitled to it. However, ER should know that many people are distancing themselves from your web site as many evidences are showing up about you being anti to CUD and Ethiopian aspiritions.

To all who support CUD please forget this trash "alubalta" and log on Tensae radio and listen to the transmission yesterday.

To those citizens who are ignoring the suffering of Ethiopian people for their selfish interest I wish GOD gives them lesson!

Its like a gossip, I don't like all the idea, if you are concerned , tell them first ,instead of posting to the public

Good Job Elias (ER). Why are we afraid of critisism? What he brought is a very good point and the sooner the better. Let's not be blind and deny the failure that is so obvious. ER, Good job and continue informing the mass about what is happenning. We all have to be accountable as much as Meles and the current leadership. Yalebelziya gulecha bilewawet wot ayatafetim endilu yehonal......

i thinck ER has almost convincing points ,we do have some sort of ideas what is going on KINIJIT in NA .HERE ARE MY VIEW OF POINTS TO GET the right solution .
1 kinijit in NA has to call a general meeting to discus in every points what makes them in different.
2 kinijit in NA has to introduce the argument causes to all support committee in NA before the general meeting is schduled.
3 every support committee and strong KINIJIT supporters have to push for further discussion AT THIS POINT to have a transparent activity in KINIJIT north america. .
4 we have to be reserved to give any judgement to any of side ,it needs a high level maturity and fairness. if we take all necessary actions in time we can have the right solussion,that can lead us to achive our struggle goal.. GOD BLESS ETHIOPIA !!!! berhanu..every thing is possible..

ER,

I don't think you have enough evidence to back up what you are writing. I think you are upset the Leadership of Kinijit probably turned down your gun-ho attitude about politics. You sabotaged and created a division in CUD by creating fake news and stories that lead CUD to destroy itself right after the election. You wrote and posted FAKE news, including “Uprisings” that never took place in Desse, Gonder, Bahrdar, etc, thinking that starting a rumor would be a way to move the so called political agenda. You attacked the most civilized politicians in CUD, such as Dr. Brahnu, and asked the committee of CUD to give “TOTAL CONTROL” to Eng. Hailu Shawel. It is amazing you talk about having a “Democratic elected leaders” meanwhile espousing a total dictatorship of CUD in Aug 05. You MESSED US UP, and you continued to MESS UP ETHIOPIANS. I really don’t give a hoot about CUD now, it is a wasted energy, it is nothing but an engide lij, a shadow of itself, lead by confused men and women, who don’t know what politics means other than coming down their anger. Their alliance with Shabia is a testament to their ignorance about politics and what it means to have a “Long Term interest” for a country. They (the current CUD leaders) are swinging like a blind man, hoping that one of those punches will land somewhere. Indeed CUD is in disarray, but you are a big part of the failure. First accept your own failure, before criticizing other!

You are full-of-it!! If we listened to you we will be following LIDETU AYALEW by now. You have no credibility in the area of judgment! Mark my word, Elias's next diatribe is against EPPF!!!

Dear Elias, when you said we how many of you are involved in writting this garbage. I know Lidetu shared your view, so is the UEDF.

Of the many words and sentences you constructed on this comment, there is no substance or a solid idea that can help improve the work of Kinijit Int'l. Instead your idea is vague and intended to bring distruction on this giant poltical party. We know you are not a memeber, yet you love to critcize and insult the intelegence of the memebership. You think your idea and only your idea is the good one.

For almost 6 months now the criticzm and the insult is relentless on this giant party called Kinijit. The UEDF is touring the world purposely for destroying Kinijit. The so called "parlmentarian" as you love to call them are here in the US for the sole purpose of destroying Kinijit. The Woyanies are also a happy memeber of this organized group. But trust me you will never succeed. Kinijit is more than that. Kinijit is in the heart and soul of million of Ethiopians. So people like you (who are not a memeber and who never sacrificed a penny)has no credibility to bring any damge at all.

We can only have leaders who are capable of leading the party. And they are currently fully in charge. You can not be a leader of Kinijit because you are nobody, the same goes to Emiru Zeleke who presented himself as a candidate. Yes Negede Gobeze also would like to be on the leadership chair of Kinijit but we will not allow him to do so as he already has the UEDF to mess around.

Back off. And I mean it back off. I was under the impression that you may help the struggle by forwarding new ideas. But you never change. A year ago it was Berhanu Nega, 3 months ago it was Berhane Mewa and now it is the whole leadership under your gun. A disaster.

Ethiopia and the truth will win.

Elias keep on chalanging CUD daispora leaders.It is your quality.Real activisim.

Much respect.
Kinijit Member

ER has been a true fighter for Kenijit as a party.Many supporters are quite.This will open thier eyes.Our leaders in Jail must be the priority.The struggle has to be focus on Ethiopia.CUD NA divided Ethiopians in the US by acting like a dictator.

Kinijit is Menfis to many Ethiopians.
Free our leaders

I WAS A DELEGATE OF A SOUTHERN STATE AT kINIJIT'S CONFERENCE IN DC,AND THIS IS THE EXACT ACCOUNT OF WHAT HAPPENED AT THE CONFERENCE AND A TRUE STORY OF WHAT KINIJIT IS GOING THROUGH. THE INDECISIVE PERSON WHO HAS BROUGHT THESE MESS TO THE PARTY NONE OTHER THAN THE MAJOR HIMSELF. WHO WAS PUBLICLY SAYING AT THE CONFRENCE THAT MOST OF THE TRUSTED FRIENDS OF ATO HAILU SHAWL WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF IL, SO HE HAS TO VERIFY THE MESSAGE FROM KALITY AGAIN. THIS PERSON STILL DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT MR. HAILU IS JUST ONE LEADER OUT OF MANY OTHERS OR HAS FORGOTTEN THAT AEUP HAS MERGED WITH THREE OTHER PARTIES. IF FOUR LEADERS OF KINIJIT WERE INVOLVED IN SELECTING THE INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP, THE MAXIMUM # OF LEADERS MR. HAILU WOULD BE ALLOWED TO PICK IS TWO. IT IS EASY TO SEE WHICH TWO HE HAS SELECTED, YOU BEING ONE OF THEM. PLEASE STOP BEING EMBRACEMENT TO HIM.

FINALLY, ELIAS THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE ISSUE TO THE PUBLIC. MAYBE... ONE OF THESE DAYS...THESE GUYS WILL NOTICE THAT THEY ARE UNDER THE MICROSCOPE OF KINIJIT MEMBERS AND WILL START ACTING UP RIGHT.

Guys,


I am not sure I get the story that Elias is trying to tell here. I was expecting "detailed" news. I did not read anything that remotely resembles "detailed" story, rather it is more of an inuenedo.

Elias, if there is anything you are holding back, please say it now. If not, your credibilty is on the line here. I am not impressed with what you wrote so far.There is nothing new in your story.

The so-called ER article is furher proof that ER is nothing but a TABLOID. I won't waste my time any more reading Elias Kifle's tabloid. Indeed Elias is serving the Woyane since day one. May I say that Elias's article is a garbage attack on those who give their money, talent and time for free.

ELIAS, PLEASE STOP DISTRUCTING THE ONLY PARTY WE TRUST
"KINIJIT" UNLESS YOU ARE WORKING FOR WOYANE. DO NOT FORGET HOW YOU LOST "ETHIOPIAN REVIEW MAGAZINE" PUBLISHING.AGAIN YOU COME BACK?

I could not read the garbage ER posted. I think he removed the link. I think I should be thankfill for being spared from wasting my time by reading his garbage.

Dear Elias, thank you for your concern about this matter.here I have one question for you.have you ever tried to talk to the existing intl. kinjit leaders before you write this article? if your answer is yes what did they say? if your answer is no.your reportage is incomplete so you need to do that first.if you do not rspond to this question ,I personally and may be so many others may put a big quetion mark under your article.

A question for many of You who criticize Elias

Why is it CUD in NA refused to follow what CUD leaders asked us to do....To go on with the civil disobediences after they went to prison????????

You find out the answer yourself.

What ever Elias wrote the bottom line for all of us is to Focus on the following....

Free CUD leaders.
Destabilize TPLF regime.
Lead the Ethiopian people into VICTORY.

My people let us Focus on freeing 77,000,000 Ethiopian people.

TPLF Vs The rest of us
I want to see TPLF go in 3 years.This can happen if we do the right struggle.WE HAVE TO TAKE THE STRUGGLE TO TPLF'S DOOR STEPS.

FROM ETHIO-ZAGOL

The facts about Kinijit International Committee; and how the imprisoned leaders are being sidelined

Many readers have e-mailed me asking for a factual explanation to the comment I made regarding the issue of Kinijit International Leadership. I have done a bit of a research on the issue; talking with people here who have been following the story; trying to get the letters of correspondence from my sources. The following is a good account of the correspondence between Kinjit kaliti and Kinijit NA. I have all the documents supporting this account and if the stalemate continues, I am willing to share it with the readers of this blog and other media.

14 May:

The imprisoned leaders in Kaliti sent a letter giving a power of attorney (enderasenet) to form and lead an international committee to six individuals.
I quote the exact wording of the first two paragraphs of the letter.
Inspite of imprisonment of most of the top leadership of the CUDP in early November 2005 and subsequent massive repression throughout the country by the EPRDF, the Ethiopian peoples struggle for freedom and self government has continued. But this struggle will lose its life if the present state of leadership vacuum is not addressed.

After consultation with each other, we, the jailed leaders of the party have recognized that the formation of an International Committee to fill the leadership gap is imperative.

We have decided that this designated Committee will be an overarching body whose responsibility is to direct and lead CUDP organs, Continental Chapters and Support Groups.
I couldn't quote the exact wordings of the other paragraphs for known reasons. In the letter, the six individual to lead the organ were named.
They were:
1. Shaleka Yoseph Yazew
2.Ato Andargachew Tsige
3.Dr. Moges Gebremariam
4.Ato Berhane Mewa
5.Ato Daniel Assefa
6.Dr. Gebriye Wolderufael
One of the sentences in the last paragraph reads:
We ask this information to be communicated to all Chapters of CUDP organs and Support Groups.
The letter was communicated to the six persons through a usual and trusted line. The e-mail addresses of the six were clearly stated on the letter. There was also evidence that all the six read it the same day it was sent. Yet a very surprising article was posted on Kinijit.org. The article entitled "Call for Assertive Action" begins with:
Assertive action ought to be taken to effectively and decisively dismiss the May 14, 2006 e-mail that purportedly assigned leadership of Kinijit via postings on websites even before the Chairman of Kinijit of the North American Branch (KNAB) knew of it.
This was entirely false. The chairman had received the letter the same day.
After this letter was sent to the six persons and then announced to the public, some people started asking questions. Here are some of them:
-The authenticity of the letter
-Whether the designation means the kaliti leadership is going to be substituted
-The wordings of the letter doesn't reflect Kinijitian spirit
-Some people who were working hard in the support groups weren't included
This concerns and questions were sent to the leadership in kaliti; and a second letter was sent by the leaders.

26 May:

This letter addresses the concerns. Part of the letter states:
This political leadership committee is by no means a replacement of the Ethiopian leadership. It is a delegation of authority to fill the leadership void which has been created locally and internationally. It is no more than a power of attorney which can, at any time, be revoked.
There has been a serious misinformation and disinformation regarding this matter. Therefore, we plead the above individuals rectify the divisive and damaging campaign immediately. Any dispute in the designated committee should be resolved internally and based on democratic ideals of Kinijit.
The letter has gone further and asks the six persons to broaden the group and add other six persons in the spirit of equity and inclusiveness. The way of adding the other six persons was also suggested.
A day after this letter was sent; Kinijit NA deliberated upon it and sent another clarification request. The request focuses on:
-specific responsibilities of the committee
-accountability
-and the committee's institutional relationship with Kinijit NA
Two days letter an immediate hand-written message was sent by the leaders to NA.

29 may:

This was one of the two letters which address the second clarification request. To avoid the issue of authenticity, the leaders sent a hand-written letter. I can't go to the details of the letter for the reasons known to my readers. But the issues it carried were:
-The method of selecting the chairman of the committee
-quorum rules
-number of members of the committee (again)

6 June:

A second clarification letter (hand written and in Amharic) which literally begged the NA people to look at the bigger picture and work together was sent. The first paragraph clearly shows the frustration of the prisoners.
The letter also states the very clearly the powers and duties of the committee. It says the rules, objectives and tasks relating to the Kinijit executive committee apply to the international leadership. It states two limitations to this mandate which I can't state here. It also suggests the international committee to establish an office which liaisons it with the chapters and support groups it leads.

It has been more than a week since this last and final letter was sent. On almost all of the letters they stated that the international committee should start working immediately. Yet we don't see anything moving.
Knowing this information, is there any reason for me to lay low when people fail to execute a clearly defined will?

Elias,

Thank you for standing up for what you believe in. I think there is a lot more in the story than you are willing to tell us. Now you are in, you have to tell us the whole story about everything, specially the corruption part. I am alergic to corruption.

May be Mamo may be on the recieving end of this corruption buisiness with in kinijit. Lately, he has been too nice about Kinijit.

Elias,you are a stand-up kind of guy. Thanks.

Arat Kilo,

Please calm down. You see, you may be one one of the 12 Kinijit memberes. Many of us are not. You guys need us when you want money. That is ok, at least for now. So, what I am saying is that we want the truth, the whole truth,nothing but the truth.

You sound like you want to silence people who dont agree with you.You tried to do the same thing with Askale.

By the way, as I read Elias's piece, I cant help it to think of Mr. Wag. Wag has been saying the same thing for a long time now. Why did we not listen before?

Elias, you are a true Ethiopian. You have been openly speaking up about the problems within kinijit.We owe you a lot for what you have done for us and our people back home. History will be written, and all of those who betrayed our trust will face justice one day.

God bless our country Ethiopia!

It is shame to see some elements in NA are playing such a wrong game that destroys our future and those so-called leaders taking CUD out of its routine to allie itself with OLF and others in thier endeavor to destroy our future as well. CUD, this is your chance to do something positive for the national struggle of our country or else you will be nothing but an ash heap of history.

Gudu Kassa

I know who these people are :

1. Ato Selemon Bekele who think he can buy Kinijit by Money
2. Dr Seyoum Selemon the worst lier I have ever seen
3. Engineer Mogues Brook , the most arroagnt and weird individual from LA.

Elias i'm tired of reading your garbege report please stop talking about CUD leaders . you work with EPRDF that's fine and your choice don't bother Kinijit leaders please . we know you are another Lidetu.

ER doin great job ppls wake up and live as ppls who is livin in US he is right the majority rul has been ignored why u ppls just get mad try to find the hook LONG LIVE WITH CUD/ER

Hirut=Hirut=Hirut= One person and woyane supporter!

Ethiopians are now being governed by Aprthaid-type mafia. I don't think we true Ethiopians would want this regime stay longer. Please be united! towards removing the regime. If there is any sort of problems in the Kinijit then we have to get the information from the leadership itself. Hirut I don't think you contributed anything and please don't in the future, your money is "haram". Kinijit's supporters are in tens of millions!

One thing I read from some writers is that the KIL is not working to free our Jailed leaders. In fact they are doing there level best in that regard (best example is AFD formation and a day after its birth asked the immediate relese of them), moreover to free our jailed leaders it is not enough to just say "realease our leaders" (This is what woyane wants us to fix on and sit waiting for that hapenning), work has to be done that would put KIL in strong position. They are just doing that our job has to be just to support their effort.

Had I not attended the May 13-15 conference in DC, I would have been skeptical about your comments. Matter of fact, I find your report too accomodative since I have a feeling you have a lot more info than you cared to share with your readers. As a 2nd time attendee from the west coast, I was saddened by the way the meeting was conducted and by the undemocratic nature of the proceeding. But then I said it is probably because I was brand new to politics. Let me share some of my dissappointing experiences:

1. The agenda was poorly constructed and some agenda items were withdrawn when the leadership felt they would face emminent challenge.
2. I was told the newly elected DC representatives were touble makers, but I discovered they came well prepared and put up intelligent arguements
3. The Secretary General appealed to the assembly that he was not able to perform his duties because of "the clique", but was later made to withdraw his complaint with the promise the leadership will sort it out.
3. Eventhough at the January meeting it was determined that all Chapters should send duely elected oficials to the May 13 conference, none did except Washington DC, I believe. The leadership was content with its handpicked chapter cronies which it had been nurturing during fund raising trips.
4. While the General Assembly was capable of and should have elected the executive committee, a representative fromm New York, just like in the communist sytem, moved a motion to maintain the existing leaders eventhough most of them don't even have constituencies to represent. The motion was orchastrated and was sure to get massive support from the cronies. Uggh! The low point of the conference!
5. I remember the DC representatives objecting the motion and even arguing the practice is no no better than Woyane's and Derge's manipulative system. But the motion passed 28 to 5, if I remember correctly. I voted with the DC people eventhough the head of my delegation voted for the motion.
6. If I was saddened by the May 13 experience, the recent LA general assembly gave me the ulsur. But I will not go into that.

Bottom line, the Nothe America leadership is incompetent, unelected and not best of breed that our community can offer. If we care about our country, and about KINIJIT we need to be upfront and take serious measures. You did not exagerate when you said "..on the path of self destruction". But Kinijit and what it stands for is capable of prevailing over this problem caused by short sighted KNA leaders. We remain positively enthused about Ethiopia's future and about Kinijit1

Elias, what happened to the " free expression" rights, "citizen's democratic rights to ask questions".....etc that you talk about in your article? Why aren't you naming names? After reading your long ass article, I don't have the slightest clue who did what. Its easier to solve problems in nuclear physics than it is to understand your article. You want me to understand you? NAME NAMES. SAY WHO DID WHAT.

ER....Elias..good job. We need such culture to not shy away from criticizing weak leaders if we want to succeed.

But if feel that you are angry because you are not elected as part of those international leadership. You bet on Lidetu. But Lidetu fell down from a roller coster and now you are trying to get a sit in AFD

Elias Kifle,

You and your likes are barking at the wrong tree. Your only interest is to get a hit on your website. You are the #2 enemy in the opposition camp. With your alubalta and hersay, you think you are engaged in honest journalism. We know your source who supply you all this bull. In time both of you will be exposed for helping Woyane. It must be hard for you to earn a decent living with you poor education hence you have to engage in alubalta. You must have grown up in the kitchen - madbet!

Go to hell with your former boss Lidetu who is coming to visit you.

Solomon

Unnecessary!

Dear all,

ER has said a lot of important things. A lot of us are not in a position to verify every relevant fact. In my opinion, ER does not go far enough into the true nature of things about KI.

1. Is there a CUD party outside Ethiopia? Has there been a CUD party outside Ethiopia? The answer is no. There has never been a functioning Kinijit party organization. ER fails to make point.

2. If there is no International Kinijit party organization, what does the KI leadership refer to? To my understanding, they must be dealing with the process of forming an international division of kinijit party organization.

3. Are the 12 people in agreement about a CUD international party organization? No. It seems to me that is one sources of the conflict.

4. What is the CUD Support Committee NA, EU and Africa? It is non-party mass organization created by persons associated with the party in order to provide fiancial and political support to party at home.

5. Can the support committee act like the party, take positions like a party, and represent the party to the international community? No.

6. Is the support committee an independent civic association? No. It was organized by party organizers to be a prty support structure tied to the party at home.

7. Is the support committee led by the party? No. Not in the true sense. For the support committee to directly or indiectly led by the party, there must be a party organization in the US or EU. And this is one the major confusions. ER did not mention it.

6. So what is the issue? In my view this is the problem.

(a) As we speak, there is no party organization in NA or Europe. The discussion or conflict will have to be about whether or not to build an international party organization. There is no party organization to take over, split or disband. This is the main issue.

(b) There is a support organization with international branches. This supportive mass organization has inappropriately assigned party tasks - political, diplomatic, public relation, commuincation, and finance. Who leads, who controls, who instructs these mass organization at this time is the second main issue. Some say the old washington group. Some say the 6 IL. Some say a newly elected group.

(c) The ways to solve 6(b): Build International party organization and bring the support system under party control. Or, make the suppport groups independent associations and bar them from acting like a party. Or, get instruction from kaliti what to with them in the absence of international party organization.

(7) Is it appropriate that non-party entities such as CUD support committees pose the danger of spliting the party? Totally illegal.

Parties have norms, rules, regulations under which function. Remember, CUD is suppose to shape and direct state politices. People is the diaspora need to exercise responsibility. Any thing that happens to CUDP must come from the party and as we speak the party is in Ethiopia. There is CUD party outside Ethiopia. There are only millions of supporter and followers. I am one of those millions.

If there is anyone who shamelessly posts anything trash,garbage, it is ER and EK.
If there was anyone who tirelessly worked to undermine Kinijit in USA by forming so-called''Tegbar''and working with Ehapa,He's Elias Kifle.
Kinijit is blessed to distance itself from this powermonger and nonsense person

correction last line...read 'there is no cud party...'

Bravo Elias,

continue your good work.

GOD JOB ER, IF THE CUD NA FOUND THE ARTICLE BASELESS, WHERE ARE THEY? THERE IS NO ENOUGH JUSTIFICATION TO FALSIFIY THE PREVIOUS ARTICLE.

LET US SEE THEM,LET THEY ANSEWER THE QNS CLEARLY?

WHERE IS CUD BY THE WAY AFTER AFD?
WHAT CUD DID AFTER AFD? I HEARED NOTHING ,EVEN NO TALK TO ENCOURAGE SUPPORTERS

WHO ARE THOSE ''renegade individuals OF CALIFORNIA'' PLEASE LET US HEAR FROM THEM.

ER, PLEASE FOCUS ON EPPF AND OTHERS WE ARE IN A POSITION OF LOSING HOPE ON CUD.
TNX

Dear KIL,

Having said the above, if the 6 KIL is interested in building an international party organization, here is my humble suggestion.

I. The 6 Departments of the party:
1. Political
2. Diplomatic
3. Communication
4. Community Relation
5. Orgnaization Dept
6. Finance

II. Each Depaertment will have an International Director and the 6 leaders are assigned as such.
Ex. Ato X, international organizational director.

III. The diaspora is divided into 4 continents:
Africa
Asia
Europe
North America (Canada included)

IV. Form Continental Office.
Ex. North American Division with the 6 departments

V. Form Country or State Divisions.
Ex. UK Office with the 6 divisions

VI. Form Braches and Chapters at City or Parish levels.

At any given level, the party organization creates and guides support committees.

Kinijit Shall Not Die!
Free Ethiopia Now!

Mr Elias

It must be accepted that you have all the rights to criticise. At the same time you have to have the patience to be criticised be it genuine or not. As to me (as an observer not from within) it is very important for you and for others not to go too far and label others as criminals.

Are you a journalist, political commentator or a strategist? Are you concerned about the ways, methods and means of your criticism so that at the end of the day you will not be a contributor for the disarray (Though you have no the slights intention of such actions)of Kinijit?

I was waiting for Monday to read the promised article. It turned out to be under my expectation. Just to be positive towards you, I hope that you changed the way of its publication for the sake of Kinjits unity.

I found the article more general and rumour like. Please be more precise and direct so long you came out to criticise openly. It would be very helpful for us, outsiders, to get the arguments of both (or every) sides. Do you yourself really believe that such general writings convince the broad supports rather made them confused and be sceptics?

I appreciate your concern, efforts and guts. But cannot be sure whether your assessments, arguments and predictions are as wise as you try to share. Please do not misunderstand me it is not my intension to demoralise or make you quiet. But the facts you wrote and the arguments you brought are not good enough to convince people like me.

One more thing, I have no the blind believe that every Kinjit leadership member is farsighted, capable, genuine really democrat or patriot. So to give the judgment and take a decision there should be enough facts, and all views on the disputable points must be on the table. Not less important is also the prehistory and the circumstances of their handling.

To: Askale Dama,

You have a mission! This mission is to creat confusion, mess and if you can destroy existing Parties and creat a Weyane "teletafi" Party. To tell you the truth You can neither destroy any Party or creat any new one just by writing hundreds of e-mails. Even some of those whom we thought we knew them beleiving what they said like Khedetu have turned their back to the Ethiopian people let alone you who hiding himself in the internet. If you are a true Ethiopian Man/ (I don't think you are a woman anyway) go to the meeting place show your face and forward your suggestions. Otherwise, please don't waste our time replying to you as you are doing a job you get payment for. If we don't reply to your suggestions it is not because we applaude it but please understand that we just have no time for nonesense things.

ER,

It is your right to criticize as a journalist. And it is our right to read and judge. But dullards like arat-kilo are saying one should be a member to do so!! Sorry for you arat.kilo!! You are no better than nothing!!
Kinjit is dead...as soon as it get married with the terrorists!! I dont even think that even all the jailed leaders are politicians. The mass support kinjit received during the election was not because it is better but people hate woyane!! Hailu shawl...is very arogant...he said one time...Gonderies are not amharas!! That distanced many from him. Gondarians are amharas...but are not bandas!!We need to elect representatives. It is not a monarchy..we are talking about a democratic political party?

ELIAS,

1)WHY AREN'T YOU GIVING LIDETU'S VISIT THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES? DON'T YOU THINK WE NEED TO DISCUSS IT AS EXTENSIVELY AS POSSIBLE?
2)HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO SUPPORT AFD, BUT BE SO OPPOSED TO KINIJIT NORTH AMERICA WHO IS THE BODY RESPONSIBLE FOR CUDP'S JOINING AFD? DO YOU GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR THAT? KKKKKKKK
3)WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ANDARGACHEW'S INVOLVEMENT WITH WEYANE AS THEIR EX-MAYOR OF ADDIS? AND NOW AS CUDP'S LEADER? DOESN'T SOME THING ABOUT HIM SMELL FISHY?
YOU CAN POST YOUR REPLY. THANK YOU.

Minishu,

Believe me I am your friend, but party is a very serious political organization. It is about time we take the task of building Kinijit in Diaspora out of confusion.

Minish, hold your horse before you resort to name calling. You know for fact Eng. Hailu or w/t Birtukan did not build an International Division of CUDP. What was organized was non-party undefined, disorganized mass association here and there. As we speak these loose associaion of party followers and supporters has no serious rules and regulation as to its nature, function, responsibility and accountability. Partry has program, bylwas, internal rules governing every behavior. If there was a party, we would not be having this discussion. As you very well know Kinijit was a momentus phenomena. Within a few month just about every body became a followewr or supporter of kinijit. The party could have recruited most of those into a structured party organization, but that did not happen. What happened was this support group began to act like a party in every city and finally it seems to me assumed certain role confusion. We must let the leaders build a true party organization, that way people become party members with necessary discipline or join a support group and act accordingly. The present confusion and paralysis does not help CUD or our Kaliti leaders.
