Time has now come for Ethiopia. The basis for renaissance has been firmly laid, too. The world over has even well understood what Ethiopia is and who Ethiopians are. Ethiopians from corner to corner have exerted utmost effort to well arrest the futile attempts of the internal and external foes of their beloved country—Africa’s emblem of freedom and Horn icon—Ethiopia. Undeniably, Ethiopians are well known for their bravery gesture in irreversible breaking arms of their enemies and stretching their unreserved helping hands if one has genuinely approach them respecting their national interest and sovereignty.
On the contrary, if one attempts to infringe the wellbeing of citizens and the sovereignty of Ethiopia, they are digging cemetery to get it swallow the last morsel of its breath thereby it will be seen from the soil off. This is Ethiopia! These are Ethiopians!
It is well recognized that Ethiopia is, even a number of countries of the globe have attested this fact, a peace-loving nation that doesn’t surpass its limit of bilateral or multilateral ties and always respects its ally and friends’ rights and dominion. However, some western nations and the United State of America do not at present develop an optimistic attitude towards the home to over 110 million populations. Although no one knows where their love stemmed from, there are some indications that these bodies have had close with and affection to the terrorist Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF), which had ruled the country for close to three decades sucking blood of the poor. The evil deeds accompanied with atrocious crime massacres the TPLF has been carrying out have resulted in turning out of all Ethiopians both at home and from overseas reinvigorating unity and fraternity even to the extent that the situation can never be reverted.
Having a short stay with this writer, Addis Zemen, Daily Amharic Newspaper, Editor-In-Chief, Anteneh Haileberhan said that unity is power helping people come up with development, safeguarding sovereignty, bringing about transformation and confidently passing bad times as well as making poverty and dependency history.
The current terrorist and the then ruling party that drove the nation wheel well has now been busy dismantling Ethiopia, which is absolute shame on it. It has simply puffing propaganda and unserviceable utterances to simply serve the interests of its accomplices amplifying the motto of the ignorant and notorious arrogant ones, “My way or no way.” This chauvinistic stance reflects two major dimensions. If the terrorist group is given chance to rule the country, to suck blood of course, Ethiopia will prevail, otherwise, if another body has taken the leading boulevard, the nation has to be dismantled.” Look! How stupid of these trifling individuals and groups are. Time has now been over, anyway. Ethiopians are now firmly committed to rescue their precious motherland. Time is over again. No earthy power holds their effort back; the march against Ethiopia’s enemies has reached at an irreversible peak and the inside and outside foes are at the verge of their eternal graveyard.
According to Anteneh, developing war thinking can all of a sudden trap people. The thought TPLF has developed does have a direct bearing to this sentient. For instance, the group tells itself that ‘If someone comes to power using firearms, it is only we who are architects of the battle field. Besides, they have persuaded themselves that if we lose power, the mass will swallow us for good. Hence, we have to regain power if possible, and we are expected to do all our best to dismantle Ethiopia at any cost otherwise.’
This is an illusion and a clear manifestation of being desperateness. Recognizing the fact that unity and fraternity helps bear yummy fruits, Ethiopians from every nook and cranny of the world have turned out to rescind the betrayal group. It seems that what they feared earlier has now become true, he added.
Standing together, fortifying unity, narrowing down differences and irregularities, giving a cold shoulder to those who would not like to see the change and prosperity of Ethiopia is not a new phenomenon, but it has been an entrenched identity Ethiopians have developed since their country came into being. It is good to cite the case of Ethiopians unity at the battle of Adwa when citizens convened to smash out invaders and do away with from their territory despite lack of modern artillery and sophisticated means of defending.
Adwa is being repeated right now as all Ethiopians from south to north and from east to west have expressed their commitment to far bury the disloyalties and irresponsible bodies who have been working with their country’s historical enemies with a view to stunting the growth and development of their nation. Yes, Ethiopians have determined not to allow the presence of a lapdog government which will be dedicated to serve the interests of those who have planned to use the puppet administration as a Trojan horse. All Ethiopians are now heard of saying ‘enough is enough.’ They have well determined to push Ethiopia to the next level of success being triumphant over poverty, dependency, backwardness, fraternity as well as peaceful coexistence.
Taking advantage of the unity of all its citizens, which has been buried for more than half a century, Ethiopia has started trekking to the summit of prosperity and radical headway. Thanks to the unity and coexistence all citizens have shown to the rest of the world, many are in a position to revisit their stubborn stance against Ethiopia.
“Thanks to the reform framed recently indeed, Ethiopians have been well glued and are starting flying their country’s flag high to make their country an influential and powerful east African star. “I am proud of being an Ethiopian. I am now even committed more than ever before to serve my country to the extent that marching to the war front to add value to the effort geared towards officially declaring Ethiopia’s renaissance via sweeping its internal and external foes,” said Anteneh.
One thing has to be taken into account as far as what is currently happening in Ethiopia is concerned, that is every action, optimistically done or pessimistically orchestrated, either a harmonious tie of sense of rivalry or fraternity and confrontation, even marriage or honeymoon ceremonies and/or funeral undertakings can be exercised in the presence of a country. Hence, Ethiopia has to be well protected as any cost. It seems with this understanding and patriotic gesture and sense of belongingness, Ethiopians at every walk of life have been determined to provide their beloved nation with their priceless belonging—life.
Generally, Ethiopia will be triumphant over the multifaceted ups and downs with the consolidated unity and coordination of its sons and daughters. Those which have turned a blind eye and deaf ear to the barbaric acts of the terrorist TPLF will ones start thinking and condemn their partisan deeds. Ethiopia prevails! Long live the lifelong guardians of our motherland—all members of security service providers centering the defense force. Realizing unity is now the call of the day though it has to be taken as an every time move.
