A large nation like Ethiopia has never been blessed with good leaders. It keeps getting worse and worse for the Ethiopian people by the minute. The current brutal regime of Meles Zenawi and his few co-Hort's have gone to the lowest index of governance anywhere to be witnessed in the global village.
To make things even worse the minority leadership continue to resort to a blame game where they blame all their problems on Eritrea. If anything does not suit the TPLF minority regime it blames the Eritrean Govt. and people. According to the minority leaders in Addis, Eritrea is to blame for everything wrong that happens under their leadership. 1. The TPLF minority regime blames The Somalia "Quagmire" it has gotten itself into on Eritrea, instead of getting out from the gates of hell it has walked into.
2. The TPLF minority regime blames the stalled border-dispute with Eritrea even though it agreed to the Final & binding ruling of the Ethiopia-Eritrea border commission chosen by Eritrea and Ethiopia. What will happen when the EEBC complete it's mandate on November 27th, 2007, we shall wait and see as the blame game will not serve it's purpose any longer.
3. The TPLF minority regime blames the kidnapping of Europeans in north eastern Ethiopia (it's own administrative zone)which was proved later that Eritrea had nothing to do with it.
4. The TPLF minority regime always blames Eritrea for supporting various Rebel groups that had already existed way before Eritrea's independence to name a few ONLF existed before Eritrea's independence, Oromo Liberation Front, The Sidama Liberation front started in 1970's, The Afar Liberation front in the 1970's and the various other Ethiopian liberation groups. All of those so called "Terrorist" groups today to suit the minority regime in the international eyes were groups and organizations that were created before the "Minority TPLF" regime came into existence. How easy it is to call others a terrorist when infact it is the TPLF minority regime itself that is terrorizing the majority of people in Ethiopia.
5. The TPLF minority regime blames Eritrea for all of it's internal problems.
When will the blame game stop? or will it ever stop? At the rate we are going Eritrea's accusations by these small minority group of leaders in Addis will continue for their survival now but will haunt them one day when they realize it and it's way too late. The TPLF minority regime's response to the social & Political disaster unfolding in Ethiopia's various regions as well as Somalia is to deny any responsibility for the horrifying conditions facing millions and millions of people in the greater horn of Africa region. US officials whom the Meles regime is sleeping with have rejected all criticism of the Ethiopian government's failure to stop meddling in the sovereignty of other nations including Somalia where the "Quagmire" continues today. Even if there is an earthquake, or flooding and other man made disaster, the TPLF Minority regime's statement will say "Eritrea is to blame".
During an interview with Time magazine in September 2007 Meles Zenawi said those words when asked "what keeps you up at night?"
"It has always been fear — fear that this great nation, which was great 1,000 years ago but then embarked on a downward spiral for 1,000 years, and reached its nadir when millions of people were starving and dying, may be on the verge of total collapse."
He went on to add,
"Now it's not a fear of collapse, I believe we are beyond that. It's the fear that the light which is beginning to flicker, the light of a renewal, an Ethiopian renaissance, that this light might be dimmed by some bloody mistake by someone, somewhere. This [renaissance] is still fragile, a few shoots [which] may need time to be more robust. At the moment, it is fear born out of hope that this new millennium will be as good as the first one and not as bad as the second one."
If the leader of the minority regime continues at the rate he is going blaming everything on Eritrea, he will go down in history as the next Ethiopian leader to fall apart just like his predecessors.
Eritrea will prevail forever despite the blame game.
