Thank you so much for taking your time to commit to doing this on our behalf. We appreciate your work in every way and know that there are so many ferenjis who understand the real problems in Africa outside of the so called western leaders of state who fail to communicate with the people.<BR/><BR/>Look forward to many more so we prevail even when all of our real journalists are behind bars or in hiding and the government is in control of every communication possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179356.post-1163772454077838382006-11-17T14:07:00.000+00:002006-11-17T14:07:00.000+00:00Hi,Quote:"This country, in the hands of the EPRDF,...Hi,<BR/><BR/>Quote:<BR/><BR/><B>"This country, in the hands of the EPRDF, is racing towards destruction with a suicidal frenzy."</B><BR/><BR/>Very interesting. This has been in my mind for so long. Vivid expression, and in fact it is nothing but the plain reality here. So we have to do something before it is too late.<BR/><BR/>ttAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179356.post-1163633351740918312006-11-15T23:29:00.000+00:002006-11-15T23:29:00.000+00:00Mengedegna:My hats off to you and all the brave bl...Mengedegna:<BR/>My hats off to you and all the brave bloggers in Ethiopia for being the voice of the voiceless people in Ethiopia.<BR/>With determined and brave individuals like yourself there is no question the days of EPRDF are numbered and we will get to the "Promised Land."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179356.post-1163616478191466772006-11-15T18:47:00.000+00:002006-11-15T18:47:00.000+00:00hooooo hooooo, Mengedegna, you rock!hooooo hooooo, Mengedegna, you rock!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179356.post-1163585720074839042006-11-15T10:15:00.000+00:002006-11-15T10:15:00.000+00:00Dear Menghedegna,Thanks for joining the handful of...Dear Menghedegna,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for joining the handful of voices for the voiceless and I'm enjoying the style and content of your blog (thoughtful and non-sensational. A friend sent me the following quotes from ML King's speech and was surprized by the parelels between that speech and the call for civil disobedience announced by CUD last November and the one cotained in the calendar you kindly translated. I pasting the text and links below. I thought it might interest you and your readers.<BR/><BR/>se fuerte!<BR/><BR/>Quixote<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>INTERESTING PARELLELS<BR/>"I've Been to the Mountaintop"<BR/>Martin Luther King Jr. <BR/><BR/>"When the slaves get together, that's the beginning of getting out of slavery. Now let us maintain unity. <BR/><BR/>Secondly, let us keep the issues where they are. The issue is injustice. The issue is the refusal ... to be fair and honest." <BR/>All we say to is, "Be true to what you said on paper." <BR/><BR/>"We are asking you tonight, to go out and tell your neighbors not to buy Coca-Cola in Memphis. Go by and tell them not to buy Sealtest milk. Tell them not to buy …Wonder Bread… Hart's bread." <BR/><BR/>"I call upon you to take your money out of the banks downtown and deposit your money in Tri-State- Bank. We want a "bank-in" movement in Memphis. So go by the savings and loan association... <BR/><BR/>You have six or seven black insurance companies in the city. Take out your insurance there. We want to have an insurance-in." <BR/><BR/>"The question is not, "If I stop to help this man in need, what will happen to me?" The question is, "If I do not stop to help, what will happen to them?" That's the question." <BR/><BR/>"I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land! So I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!" <BR/> <BR/>Listen to the speech:<BR/> <BR/>http://americanradioworks.publicradio.org/features/sayitplain/index.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
