The Rise and debacle of Kinijit, critical appraisal (Part One)
By Bekele Habte, December 2, 2007
In this rather short article, I would first try to briefly assess the main reasons that are tearing apart Kinijit currently and pinpoint the way out of such debacle. I shall start from the very formation of CUD and end up by predicting where Kinijit will be heading to as a result of the leadership’s recent bitter division which came to the open after the US and Europe tour. In this first part of the article, I will look at whether the clumsily-assembled coalition of the four parties was a viable option than a complete merge, to what extent the power sharing among the parties during the merge was equitable and prudent, and the wisdom of electing inexperienced and relatively unknown people to the highest office of Kinijit.
