		<description>Even though there is no evidence to the propostion mentioned by the author of this article and his supporters, I don't see any thing wrong to fight for power if it is going to serve the public. The power is going to emanate from the people's vote. It is not the struggle to take power that is wrong but the ways and the means.</description>

		<description>Almaz,

I bet you must be one of the unsuspected good Ethiopians who is a victim of Dr Birhanu's and his accomplices skillful spin.  

What you said is really a cheap propaganda originating by Dr Birhanu and his few trusted cadres like Andargachew and Birhane Mewa to confuse people like you. 

Credit to Professor Mesfin, Dr Birhanu can not continue cheating the people for long. His real self would be exposed soon for every body to see.  BTW, neither Dr Birhanu nor his trusted few cadres are smart enough to fool the people for so long.  In spite of the high regard they have to themselves, they are still political novices.</description>

		<description>Deo: 

1. No, Dr Birhanu is fully aware that he still needs a little bit of spin and cult building before he can take over Engineer Hailu' s post by hook or crook. That is why Dr Birhanu is keeping low profile at the moment. 

2. Yes, Dr Birhanu is not an executive member of Kinijit. That is exactly what makes Dr Birhanu's struggle for 'siltan'a bit untimely and a little bit premature.

3. In Kinijit, if successful, Dr Birhanu can get the highest job with the real power. In Woyane, you will never get a real 'siltan' unless you are  a Tigre. You can only get easily a high position good enough to benefit yourself materially. No more than that.</description>

		<description>I would like to add another split that occurred during the same time in Ethiopian recent history. I do so just to expose one of Kinijit's protagonist in Diaspora Negede Gobeze a man who is responsible for encouraging Mengistu to use “ Ye Stalin Bitir “- red terror, and that is the division of MEASON( not mentioned by the writer ). When this party divided, Haile Fida and Negede Gobeze remained on one side and Dr Alemu Abebe &#38; co. left to join Dergue. While Mengistu killed Haile Fida, Negede Gobeze managed to get out of the country. Mangistu held two of Negede’s sisters, Dr Hanna Gobeze and Rachel Gobeze for more than ten years in Addis Ababa Prison (Kerchele). Now, that same Negede Gobeze who caused all those atrocities not long time ago wants to come back in Ethiopian politics again. ( Jib Bemayawkut hager hedo kurbet anetifuligh yilal!) Though he is the main “Jib “, he is not the only ‘Jib “inside CUD.
 
To come to my point, unlike the author of this article wants to imply that divisions in political parties are okay, there was no juice that came out from these divisions. If there was one, it was blood. The reason we haven't seen bloodshed because of Kinijit's division so far is, the division has happened in Washington, DC. 
 
Now, Kinijit’s diehard fans have only one hope to hang on, and that is HR 2003. This Bill has nothing to do with Kinijit's division, nevertheless, they, out of desperation, will hang on to it until the Bill gets to the President desk. Don't ask me what they will hold on as hopes after The President veto this Bill. Remember, Feres Yetefabet, Ejun Gan Wust Yiketal! The saga of the unsuccessful expedition of hope of the diehard cud supporters will continue until they get back to their senses and look for other meaningful alternatives!</description>

		<description>Genet Belew,

If you are not deaf and have listened to your Aleqa Hailu Shawel
that has turned out to be the most pathological liar. Only bitter
cadres like yourself who can never measure up to Berhanu can deny his intellect. Sure Berhanu does not play 10th century byzantine politics and the feudal element within Kinijit who ony
wanted to replace the rule of Meles with the rule of Hailu is all
twisted up because the plan failed. Just as Haileselassie was the last king of Ethiopia, Meles is also the last dictator Ethiopians
will eve see. If Assefa Negash's  and friends dream of shumet has
evaporated into thin air... too bad. Wallow in your bitterness in ferenji land.</description>

		<description>Genet Belew, I don't agree with your idea because of the ff reasons:

1. If Dr. Birhanu has 'meren yelekeke yeseltan timat' as you said, he would have been in that position by now. During the formation of Kinijit, Ato Lidetu asked him to be president instead of Hailu and he refused.

2. Dr. Birhanu is not an executive member of Kinijit. So how would he be struggle for 'Siltan'. This is what I don't agree with Prof. Mesfin's comment with due honor.

3. What is 'Siltan' by tha way?, Even any body can get it if S/He wants by supporting 'Woyanne', and sit in an executive chair.

I do respect both Ing. Hailu and Dr. Birhanu for what they did for that nation.  Especially Ing. Hailu paid a lot and was straight when it comes to democracy  for the poor ethiopia. But, he has to understand the current situation and act as a leader to solve the Kinijit's problem</description>

		<description>I have to admt that, by and large, it is a well written article. However, it tacitly endorses Engineer Hailu Shawel at the expense of Dr Birhanu and his buden. That will make the article a bit unbalanced.</description>

		<description>Almaz, you need to take it easy woman!!. Why are you very angry just because Professor Mesfin spoke the truth? Do you have any problem with the truth?

If you know Dr Birhanu in and out, you would not call him a brilliant man as he rather is a political novice. Leave alone professor Mesfin, even i, who is an ordinary man, can not and should not envy Dr Birhanu. In any case, what is there to envy about Dr Birhanu? His pathetic lie, his preoccupation in buden formation, his meren yelekeke yeseltan timat, ...etc? Dr Birhanu is now badly wounded and i am positive that his political funeral will not be that far. That would be good for Ethiopia.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The sour grapes of Assefa Negash!!! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1-The limos are rented by Ethiopians who want to welcome the Kinijit leaders in grand style. If you *** were not hiding in ferenji land but were in Ethiopia fighting for the people, going to prison for them yoou would get their accolades too. Zeraf, zeraf from the North of the equator ain't goona do it.&lt;br /&gt;
2- Quorum or no quorum, why did Hailu sign it? Or did somebody&lt;br /&gt;
forge his signature. So pathetic....&lt;br /&gt;
3- You hate Berhanu because he is brilliant and you are green with&lt;br /&gt;
envy. It is that age old abesha mekegenet. Get over your bitterness, hate politcs and shameful behavior. Thanks to you, Hailu&lt;br /&gt;
is damaged goods.&lt;/p&gt;
