Rebutting Tecola’s disingenuous and nonsensical piece


by Dr. Messay Dejene
I am incensed like many patriotic Ethiopians by the futile attempt of Tecola Hagos to insult the intelligence of fellow compatriots as his mean-spirited article, aimed at glorifying the new premier of occupied Ethiopia amply revealed..
I reject the failed ethnonationalist and his disingenuous ideas as I understand fully what he has been to Ethiopia and non-Tigrean Ethiopians before he moved to America on perhaps another Woyane mission.
I am prompted to engage the ethnonationalist Woyane who is now masquerading as a patriotic Ethiopian. He is not and never was. I challenge him in the demands of conscience as evidence abounds on his activities during the heydays of Woyane.
Tecola attempted to paint a rosy picure of Ethiopia under Haile Mariam, a man who like his masters, the Woyanes, has no constituency. The premier, to many discerning Ethiopians is a figurehead of what many consider as an occupied Ethiopia. The nominal premier who has so much blood on his hands has no power to even choose his personal life guards let alone reversing the collossal ravages that his masters have wrought on the nation.
If Tecola Hagos is a legal scholar, a humble scientist in me refuses to acknowldwge his credentials on the score of what he just said in his recent article. There is seemingly a gross disconnect between his ruling of ‘banishment’ and the supposed weight of his legal credentials. It is this discrepancy that prompted this scribe to pen down his dissent.
It is a sheer irony of scholarship to witness the audacity of the learned lawyer to tacitly recommend the delinquent Ethiopian regime to impose a lenient penalty on the innocent compatriots who are languishing in the prison of an illigitmate and terrorist state.
This scribe would like to interogates the legal scholar how he could dare propose banishment to the unjustly incarcerated patriotic Ethiopians instead of calling for the total repudiation of the charges, demand compensation for the wrongful detention and their unconditional freedom.
I have never known of banishment as an alternative to justice. Tecola should have know the innocence of the patriotic Ethiopians who are suffering at the hands of traitors if he he had rudimentary knowledge of the law and a tinge of conscience..
In an attempt to give banishment a legitimacy the learned lawyer cited its use in ancient Greece and medieval Ethiopia oblivious of the fact we live in the 21 century. How can the learned fellow lie so low like Woyanes who are bereft of honour and dignity?.
Judging from his gibberish, Tecola does seem to be mulling over returning home. There is nothing wrong with that. He does not need excuses to return to a home that his people are in- charge of. Many compatriots would agree with him that a life of an exile is not an enviable one.
Even when one is successful by vulgar economic and social standards, the urge to return home is immense. This scribe has been dabbling with that thought for over three and have decades. The feeling is quashed becuase I sincerely believe that my country is occupied by career traitors.
Whether or not Tecola acknowledges it ,Woyane fought againast the Ethiopian state to create an independent Tigrean republic. That in itself is treason pure and simple.
Since Woyane usurped power by default, it has systematically dismantled the country. From partitioning Ethiopia by fighting for Eritrea’s secession to ceding vast swathes of land to Sudan, it has done what a perfect internal enemy would do. They not only annexed a big chunk of Begemdir and Wollo to Tigrai but also balkanised Ethiopians along spurious etnic lines.
To alienate Tigreans from their fellow Ethiopians woyane unleashed Tigreans to run every government and private enterprise. What have they not done really? While the relentless genocidal campaign on Amaras still rages on often
using gullible proxies, the other major linguistic groups, the Oromos have not escaped the wrath of this suicidal tribal gang who are plundering our country at will..
To millions of discerning Ethiopians Woyane is an unreformable enemy. Woyanes and their venal Woyane-appointed tribal riffrafs of whom most have barely seen the four walls of high schools, are the supposed representatives of the bantustanised Ethiopian regions.
On a personal note, let me warn Tecola and others who may wish to return home for they will surely be utterly disappointed. Woyane is a pent force. It is crumbling by its own weight. Any association with it would eventually invite a fitting response by the millions of aggrieved Ethiopians.
The vast majority of the people in the cities, the generations that are roughly under 45 are generally as vulgar, inconsiderate, abrupt, dishonest & unreliable and patenly crude as Woyanes . The nation is polarised along ethnic lines.
Beware of another reality and a sad one at that. People with Tigre names or people with Woyane affiliations are socially shunned. The response is spontaneous however unjustified.
That is dangerous Prof. Tecola. But you may indeed take pride in your pedigree for having been born to the golden tribe (as Meles bragged ) ready to weather the storm when the inevitable day of reckoning beckons.
I rest my case..
