"Unnecessary" Question of Ethiopians
By Dereje Hailu Kassa | 24, March 2009
" This writing is neither about the war in
Afghanistan, nor about the Canadian soldiers who
died there. It's rather about transparency and
accountability, above all a respect for human being.
Why these things are eroded in my beloved country,
where an opponent's life is dispensable?....Home

Xxxxxx I am glad you stepped up to share your thoughts on this widely misunderstood and yet decisive area that determines our movements towards finding durable solution to the problems facing our peoples. You wrote: “..I was very shocked when you present the real issue about Somalia.” After going through your posts on Medrek I learnt that individuals like yourself who put humanity as the center of their values to be shocked with such inhuman politics that prevail in today’s Somalia and threatening to spread throughout the region. You touched key aspects of the problem with possible solutions which I believe need thorough study from every angle. I like the wise question you chose to conclude your thought: “What is history after all, if we can’t govern ourselves?” It is a very good question indeed. It make me feel sad when I see our peoples facing the most deadly and manifold challenges ever in their history, to find ourselves not up to the task of making new history that supersedes the hitherto one, instead deliberately use past history as a tool for destructive purposes. Sometimes I feel ashamed of my thoughts, when I find myself asking, do my country people really know what is at stake here? Don’t forget while we are exchanging opinions on relevant or irrelevant things from our comfortable places, 600 Ethiopians die a day just from AIDS, the figure is 6,000 for Africa. Imagine this doesn’t include other cause of deaths happening everyday. The scary part is the number seems to grow each time. The powerful who control our lives have no interest whatsoever seeing an end to our agony and sufferings. How can they? What’ s in it for them? Peace Be Unto You All!
