This week celebratory news has come from Addis Ababa for the delight of supporters of the Opposition Parties in the Diaspora.The nerve-wracking negotiation to merge the two major political parties of Ethiopia, the All Ethiopia Unity Party (AEUP) and the Unity for Justice and Freedom (Andinet) has at last been accomplished.
This was a stride of a mile in the solidarity and forte of
the opposition camp of the Ethiopian Political Parties. It is a triumph over
separatists and suppressors who happened to rule Ethiopia by the muzzle of the
gun for the last two and have decades, solely because the unity accomplished today
was missed among the oppositions in the doom days in which Ethiopia was affronted
in the eyes of the rest of the world.
The move instigates the hope and aspiration for Unity Forces
to lift up Ethiopia to its past celebrated position in the world arena and make
it home to all as she is the home of all mankind. It is a replenishment of the “Kinijit
of the 2005 that engulfed the revolution with burning fire that flamed from
the deep heart of those who struggle for justice and democracy to prevail in
Ethiopia. It is the beginning of a new era in which the fatal process through
which we passed and the sour experiences that have been practiced would be a
lesson to all. From now on there will be no fight in the house of the
opposition. The struggle is on the baseball field of the TPLF and with our
unified might and the great support of the people of Ethiopia, Woyanie will finally
surrender to peace and democracy in our country. Dictatorship has no root to
leave forever.
Dewol Congratulate the brave sons and daughters of Ethiopia
who continuously struggled to achieve this remarkable goal of unity and takes
this opportunity to renew its commitment for the ultimate success of the prevalence
of justice and democracy to make Ethiopia a home to all. Dewol also calls our
Oromo brethren to join the new era of the struggle for the definitive victory.
Long Live the Unity of the Opposition Parties!
By the Sacrifice of its Brave Children, Ethiopia shall Live
Forever, Proud of its Freedom, Unity and its Territorial Integrity!
