When it comes to Addis Ababa, a lot have been said. The theory of Finfine was developed by the late Meles Zenawi as a basis to prolong the Woyane regine. He knew that such a contentious issue like claiming Special interest from Addis Ababa by the Oromos is a well designed strategy for TPLF. I don't think the Oromos realized the plans of TPLF very well. They are flagging it to this day whether in public or in their hide outs. How about Special interest of Addis Ababa over Oromia??? Ethiopian people have invested quite a large sum of wealth whether in money or human resources etc, on Addis Ababa. Addis Ababans should start claiming this from Oromia right now. Bon Voyage !!!
His suggestion that political parties based on religion is dangerous,
specially in developing countries like in Ethiopia.
I like his critical thinking and I understand his point, but I think he is wrong on this issue.
Go back and read our history, most of the wars were related to religions in our country,
people only mention about Gragn Ahmed OR [Christians VS Muslims], NO!
We had wars between Christians VS old Judaism followers, the Agew queen Yodit Gudit destroyed Christians and churches.
We had wars between Tewahedo(unionists) VS Qibat Orthodox, disagreement over doctrine,
The recent one, Atse Yohannes VS the Sudanese durbush, etc.
Once political parties are organised by religion, it will not stop in our country,
foreign countries will be involved to support one side or the other, it is dangerous.
For example, the largest Muslim ethnic group are Oromos,
The thinking that to divide Oromos along religious lines, [Orthodox, Muslims, Protestants, Wakafecha], etc.
religious line is more dangerous than ethnic line, at the moment all contained inside Oromonnet[Oromuma],
if you destroy the container, you are inviting fanatic suicide bombers, very dangerous!
Sissay Agena should think twice!
I got question? When would they buy zinc? How would they run 4000 bectare industrial zone unless they tunnel water from red Sea? Some countries are blessed. They have 1200km coastline for shower and beyond.
