A PLEA FOR KINIJIT UNITY


Over the years, since 1991, on account of lack of unity, foresight, and a commitment to Ethiopia by the opposition,, especially in the Diaspora since October 2005, Weyane has brought about incalculable damage to Ethiopia and Ethiopians:


1. Dismembered Eritrea, putting our Afar people under separate governments and land-locking Ethiopia.
2. Instigated a senseless and costly war with Eritrea, leading to some 70,000 brothers dead, at a colossal material cost, thousands of landmines scattered along the fictitious borders with Tigray and millions of dollars allocated to get them out.
3. Destroyed our National Defense Forces and exposed Ethiopia to Eritrean invasion. Members of the national Defense Forces, including senior officers, continue to be thrown out of service today on account of ethnicity and suspicions of support for the opposition, thereby again exposing Ethiopia to possible external attack.
4. Destroyed several institutions and dismissed several thousand professionals from their jobs, thereby forcing thousands out of the country to seek refuge in all corners of the globe.
5. Institutionalized a pseudo-ethnic system of government in which some 83 of Ethiopia’s ethnic groups are reportedly organized under 7 ethnic groups in Tigray, Afar, Oromia, Benishangul-Gumuz, Gambella, Harari and Ogaden. The organization in Amhara and SNNPS is mixed since Weyane itself provides the leadership to ensure complete subservience and its designs of divide-and-rule..
6. Committed genocide in Gambella and Eastern Wellega, and crimes against humanity in broad daylight
