Ethiopian Review (ER) Reckless Unfounded Report about ESAT &Ginbot 7 (G7)

By Meron Admasu

I have been reserved for long and even defended ER’s methodology for a while though the fact shows that ER has crossed many red lines to deliver unjustified baseless reports that have been glitch to the popular struggle. Let’s hold for a minute & ask ourselves and say ER’srecent story about Andarachew holds true; who would benefit from this? Unless ER traps in the same empty can& wanted to spread his pack of lies in the name of “OH THE PUBLIC NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH” no one would benefit from this tall unjustified story except TPLF. So we’ll notice ER’s piece be published nowhere but all over anti-G7 blogs.

In fact, I agree that challenging leadership is a basic instrument of democracy and it should be welcomed by all freedom lovers as well as our political leaders, howeverER brought a divisive agenda to targeting our core icons (ESAT & G7) anddetermined to destroy a struggle that is highly travelling with speed of light. This is totallyill-advised and should be condemn by all of us. Because, the popular struggle is not about G7 or other oppositions, but to remove the Trojan TPLF ethno-apartheid gangs and establish justice and freedom in the country. Therefore, the attack on G7 & ESAT is of course would not have any impact on the organization but it hurts the feelings of freedom lovers. Indeed, after the kidnapping of our hero Andarachew Tsige it’s apparent that the solidarity among oppositions became stronger,the struggle has been reactivated and moving recklessly to shorten the life span of TPLF.

However, at this critical time unless ER has an intention to divert our attention using a crooked technique that has half true and false; I don’t know why ER wanted making a fictitious Hollywood type drama & spreading fabricated rumors against ESAT &G7. In fact, ER’s contention and claim about Mr. Andaragachew doesn’t have any cogent evidence but full of specious argument. Nevertheless, unless ER has a dream to terminate our struggle, or unless ER became MORON as same as other anti-G7 elements who are screaming like a rabid dog against G7 and Shabia, or unless ER has sold his strong spirit and dedication to TPLFafter he gave up by his unworkable fiasco-there is no way that one would write this tall unjustified disgusting story that is not supported by facts in order not only to demoralize the courageousnesswork of G7 and ESAT but in general to putting a salt on the wounds of all freedom lover Ethiopians.

Seemingly, ERdidn’t have a shame to repeat the same fabrication that was narrated by Dawit Kebede of Awarmba Times a couple years ago as if ESAT is financed by the Eritrean government. However, hisblackmailing allegation is absurd as well as laughable. Because, this is not a nuclear physics where people would be confused. Unlike to ER’s unfounded statement; the transparent fact shows us ESAT is founded by Ethiopians for the purpose of advancing independent media andsupported by numerous free speech and freedom lover Ethiopians all over the world. Aside from the regular monthly membership contribution; ESAT conducts a yearly round fund raising event throughout the world and draws tangible enormous amount of finical support. The recent record also clearly shows that there are even individuals who are sending thousands dollars from Ethiopia to support ESAT. So is ER telling me that the money that I’ve been giving to ESAT out of my pocket is funded by Eritrean government? Get a life!

Anyway, ER embarrassingly failed to keep his original faith to be a voice for voiceless and trapped in blackmailing filthy outdated game to become a myth feeding media in order to confuse our community. Regardless of his empty rhetoric, ER’s allegation is invalid andit’s not only an attack to the independent media but also a direct insult to the intelligence of many Ethiopians who have been providing a continuous financial support in favor of alternative media in Ethiopia. Most of all, if the Eritrean government is providing financial assistance to ESAT, we Ethiopians wouldsincerely praise the Eritrean government for supportingthe idea of independent media in Ethiopia, as well.

Another deficiency of ER is that he told us the Eritrean president Isyays Afewerki reservations to assassinate Andaragachew inside Eritrea and setting up his abduction from Yemen; but at the same time ER accused Isayas Afewerki for killing Ethiopian opposition members previously. What a luck of logical unsuitableness. Because, if ER blames Isayas for assassinationEthiopian opposition leaders before how come he would fear to eliminate another one unless ER thinks we Ethiopians are morons who would buy his nonsense childish debacle? Anyway, I am not going to describe this kind of obvious distortion and lie to oneself and others as ER’s entire argument didn’t hold water and his judgment is biased by his stubborn oxymoron ideology.

Apparently, ER hasshown that he has a personal grudge towards G7 leaders & Eritrean officials, and very obsessed with his clumsy fiasco. That is why heis spreading unsubstantiated propaganda religiously against G7 & ESAT with the intention to misleading some gullible Ethiopians. Hence, ER has a repetition to portray & paint individuals the way he wants. Virtually, this evil act of ER does not help both sides but it exacerbates the current situation and confused some naïve and emotional Ethiopians. Trashing the work of noble individuals, character assassination and black mailing are not changing the true colour of gallant Ethiopians who are determine to fight for democracy and justice under the leadership of G7.

It’s obvious that Mr. Andaragahcew has proved himself that he is a man who stand firm against the Tribal war lord regime of TPLF, he is our prince and sunshine. He is the defendant, brother and father of the destitute Ethiopians who have been terrorizing, raped and abused, and killed indiscriminately by the TPLF tribal war lord mercenaries.He is the champion of our struggle like Professor Asrat, who never let his people to crawl with their hand and knee. However, ER is trying to rub salt in our wound by spreading false propaganda about our icon and its outstanding organization G7.

Sadly, it has been long since ER stopped delivering reliable report ESAT or G7. Instead he has been running around and labeling individuals, because they don’t want to buy his proposal. Perhaps ER has been flip-flop, of course changing his tune depends on the circumstances; he doesn’t have integrity or principle, but moving depends on what seems beneficial for him. Because, as we all know ER was a strong advocator to tell us the struggle should be engaged with assistance of the Eritrean government, however when his method failed he automatically appeared to branding others who wants to work with Eritrea as Shabia agents. Anyhow,ER has demonstrated that he is an opportunist as well as unscrupulous individual who cannot be trusted any longer.

Regardless, ER and his cyber anti-G7 and anti-ESAT enemies have to recognize that the struggle cannot have an absolute principle instead it constantly should be changing based on the situation. ER and his alike anti-G7 cliques havebeen unsuccessful many times to realize that virtually, we Ethiopians do not have any enemy except the TPLF tribal gangs. Either the government of Eritrea or any other group would have our appreciation, as long they are weakening the TPLF gangs. Our business is not what our previous relationship with Eritrea or any otherparticular group, but what matters is that the benefit we will get from them, so any group who is against TPLF would be prized by Ethiopians.

I understand ER is entitled to his view, however instead of posting the same baseless childish type of tantrum repeatedly against G7 and ESAT, why do not ER try to analyse the problem and air what the solution he personally think should be? In spite of ER and its apostle’s tireless effort to spoil the work and legacy of ESAT andG7, not only our struggle is getting stronger but also our leaders learn from those snakes in the grass kind of individuals like ER and other retarded selfish power and money monger anti-ESAT and anti-G7 individuals and protect the water being muddy.

I think ER also suffers in little mind complex that is why he hatesDr. Birhanu and other vibrant leaders and members of G7, vehemently. Anyhow, most Ethiopians in Diaspora as well as back home have already identified the twisted character of ER and his time is over like his flip-flop twin brother Dawit Kebede. Instead of using his loose tongue & attacking our heroes, he better reconcile with Ethiopians & join our struggle that will help him to fix his broken relationship with us.

Anyway, ER’s approach doesn’t have an impact for those courageous Ethiopians who have been actively engaged in the struggle except giving a little time for those anti-G7 worthless creatures and other retarded gullible Ethiopians who have been surrounded by their own confused imagination and venting their usual slogan “DIROM KE SHABIA” …”DIROM BEYE NEBER” and other similar moronic dogmas. Of course, no courageous Ethiopians would be deceived by ER propaganda except a few anti-G7 elements who have been verbally attacking G7 leaders from the beginning. Because, these group of individuals in Diaspora have been alreadywell-known as they are incapable of making logical and legitimate points except echoing their nonsense fiasco against ESAT & G7 in orderto remain in their fantasy world. They are always preoccupied by their bulging idea and drive on the way to the direction of the wind. 

Regardless of ER spreading of unfounded malicious gossips against G7 is not among them at all. But, as we all know G7 has proven itself as the bed rock that steadfastly cares for his country and people from the vultures, from every corner. I can definitely sense, G7’s position is perfectly direct and simple, direct enough to drive ER as wild as he sounds. Many of us already recognized that, G7 is an ideal organization carrying the cause of all good intentions for current and future Ethiopia and her people as opposed to ER’s teeny mini, & emotional path.  Once again true Ethiopians for freedom, democracy and peace, should stand behind our heroic, dedicated, unwavering, incorruptible, firm but not stubborn, dedicated and true leaders, led by G7.

Seemingly, TPLF and anti-G7 elements dig every hole to prevent the establishment of the friendship of Ethio-Eritreans.At the same time ER pertains the same filthy way that clearly shows his ego and narcissistic manner, and surely Ethiopians do not want his kind of bolshie and fixated individual. In any case, I guarantee youEthiopians who are faded-up of TPLF endless crimes and don’t care if G7 associated with Satan in order to remove the TPLF bloodsucker gangs let alone with Eritrea. And nothing makes TPLF warlords irritated more than the friendship of Ethiopians & Eritreans, as their strong bond would devalue the poisonous divide & rule dogma and accelerate their downfall.

Nevertheless, since the struggle of freedom and justice has been very complicated and demanding, we should not surprising to see point fingering among self-centered individuals like ER who are making empty noise, but what should be important is the nature of our common enemy, so it would be helpful for all of us to focus on the enemy instead of wasting time to prove our innocent or quality of our partnership to the struggle.We Ethiopians have identified our enemy and as the saying goes fool me once shame on you but fool me twice….as a resultregardless of ER’s and others ineffective attempt to break the bridge between Ethiopians and Eritreans;we have changed our game plan in order to remove the TPLF gangsters once and for all.

From now on; our daily motto is same as the following expression “Approach a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove.”
