የሰሞኑን በሚኒሊክ ጉዳይ የያዝነውን የማህበራዊ ሚድያ አተካራ ላየ ከታሪክ የሚማሩ ሳይሆን በታሪክ የሚባሉ ብንባል ሳይሻል አይቀርም። በትላንት ተባላን። ትላንትናን እንደነበረ መረዳት ተሳነን። ትላንትናን ከደማችን ተነስተን ሳይሆን በመረጃ ደርጅተን መቃኘት ቋቅ እያለን ነው። ትላንትና ግን አደለም ዋናው ችግር። ዋናው ችግር ትላንትናን መረዳት እና ለነገ ፋይዳ ባለው ሚዛናዊ አቋም ላይ መገኘት ያልቻለው ዛሬያችን ነው።
ሚኒሊክ በደቡቡ የሀገራችን ክፍል ኦሮምያንና ወላይታን ጨምሮ ጦርነት ማድረጋቸውን ታሪክ መዝግቦታል። እኛም በተጣመመም ይሁን በቀና መንገድ ያን ታሪክ ተምረነዋል። በቁምነገሩ ሚኒሊክ ጦርነት አድርገዋል። ጦርነት ደግሞ ክቡር ነፍስ ይነጥቃል። ሽንፈቱ አዋራጅ ሆኖ፤ ሞቱ ደግሞ ቁጭት ትቶ ሊያልፍ ይችላል። ጦርነቱ አሰቃቂ እንደነበር ይነገራል። እውነትነቱ መጠርጠር የለበትም። ይህን መካድ ነው ነውረኛ የሚሆነው።
የምር እውነት ስንናገር ደግሞ ዛሬ እንኳ ተነጋግረን በማንስማማበት ሀገር ያኔ ምኒሊክ ይህን ጉዳይ በውይይት እንዲፈታው መጠበቅ ወይም ከወቅቱ ንጉሶች እና ፊውዳሎች ነባራዊ ባህሪ ወጥቶ ግዛት እንዳያስፋፋ እና ንግስናውን እንዳይፎክርበት ማሰብ የዋህነት ይመስላል። በአንድ በኩልም በወቅቱ ያልነበረን ዛሬም በአብዛኞቹ የሀገራችን ፖለቲካ ሀይሎች መሀከል የማይታይን ብስለት መሻት ይመስላል።
በበኩሌ መራራ ግድያዎች በተከሰቱበት ጦርነት መሀል ግን አሁን ያለንበት ኢትዮጵያዊ እርሾ መጣሉን አልዘነጋም። ሁለቱም ትውስታዎች ሊጠፉን አይገባም። ምሬቱም በጎ ውጤቱም።
አገራችን የምንለው ይሄ አገር ህዝባችን የምንለው ይህ ህዝብ የዛ ታሪክ ውጤት ነው። ሁሉም አገር ይህን በመሰለ ወይም ከዚ በከፋ ታሪካዊ ሂደት የተገነባ ነው። የሆነ ሆኖ ግን ይሄም ሀገራዊ ቅርጽም ቢሆን ይሄም አለማቀፋዊ ሀቅ ሟቾቹን ደግ ሚኒሊክ ገደላቸው ለማለት አያነሳሳንም። ያን ማለት ተገቢም አደለም።
ወደህ ካልገበርክ ገድዬ አስገብርሀለው የዛ ዘመን ፍልስፍና ነበር። ዛሬም እኮ ወይ ከኛ ጋር ቁም አለበለዚያ አይንህን ለአፈር የሚሉ ዜጎች አሉን። አሜሪካ የሚኖሩትን ያለ እኛ አዋቂ የለም ባዩች ጨምሮ። በሰለጠነ አገር የሚኖሩ ያልሰለጠነ እና ያለበሰሉ ህሊናዎች የመኖራቸው ማሳያም ተደርጎ ሊወሰድ ይችላል። ተደማምጦ መወያየት የማይችል ሰው ታዲያ ሌላ ምን ሊባል ይችላል።
ወደ ነገሬ ስመለስ የታሪኩን አሳዛኝ ገጽታ እምናነሳው ሚኒሊክ እንዲጠላ በማሰብ ከሆነ ፋይዳ ቢስ አብዮት ነው። ሚኒሊክ ተወደዱ ተጠሉ ለሳቸው ትርጉም የለውም። የዚያን ዘመን ታሪክ የምናነሳው የአባጅፋርንም አሰቃቂ የዳውሮና ከፋ አያያዝም ለመርገም ከሆነ ፋይዳ ቢስ ነው። ቁምነገሩ ከዚያ ታሪክ የምንማረው ነው። ስለ ጦርነት አስከፊነት ስለ መበደል መራራነት። ሌላው ትርፍ ነው።

ህዝብን ጪሰኛ አድርጎ ለሚኖር ስርአት እና ነገስታት መወገን ምን ፋይዳ አለው። ሁለተኛ ነገር የሚኒሊክ ጦር በኦሮሞ ፊትአውራሪዎች እና ወታደሮች የማይመራ ለማስመሰልም ይሞክራል። ይሄ ግራ የገባው ንባብ ኦነግና የቀኝ አክራሪው ተቃዋሚ የፈጠሩት ስሜት ፈለቅ ትርክት ውጤት ነው። ሁለቱም ከታሪኩ የሚፈልጉትን ገጽ የሚያነቡና የነሱን ማደማደሚያ የማይደግፈውን እውነታ ሽምጥጥ አድርገው የሚክዱ ናቸው። አንደኛው የአውሬ ምስል ቀርጾ ህዝብ ለማነሳሳት የሚተም ሁለተኛው ደግም ብሄራዊ ጀግና ስሎ የፈጸማቸውን ወይም ያስፈጸማቸውን አረመኔያዊ ግድያዎች እና ቅጣቶች ለማረሳሳት የሚሞክር።
ደም ከህሊና ጋር ስሜት ከእውቀት ጋር ሲደባለቅ ሁሌም የጠራ ነገር ማግኘት የሚሳነንም ለዚህ ነው። ወላ ቴድሮስ በለው፣ ዮሀንስ በለው፣ አሉላ በለው፣ ሚኒሊክ በለው፣ አባጅፋር በለው፣ ጾና በለው ከህዝብ ጥቅም አንጻር ሲመዘን ፊውዳል ፊውዳል ነው – በህዝብ ጫንቃ ላይ የሚኖር መሪር ሸክም። የሚኒሊክም ይሁን ሌላው ታሪካችን የሚፈልገው ተቆርቋሪ ወይም አጣጣይ አደለም። ቀና ተማሪ መሆን በቂ ነው። ድክመቶችን ድክመት ጥንካሬዎችን ጥንካሬ ብሎ መውሰድ የሚችል ቀናነት።
ጦርነቱ ቅዱስም ርኩስም አልነበረም። በሁለት ፊውዳሎች መካከል የተካሄደ አሰቃቂ ጦርነት ነበር። በዚህም በዚያም በኩል ክቡር ነፍሶች የተቀጠፉበት ነበር። በዚህም በዚያም በኩል ኦሮሞ የተሰለፈበት፣ የተዋጋበት፣ ያዋጋበትም ነበር። ያ አሰቃቂ ጦርነት እና ሰቆቃ ታለፈ። የሆነ ሆኖ በዚያ አሳዛኝ ሂደትም ቢሆን እምንወዳት ሀገር አግኝተናልና እንጽናናለን።

የግድ እቺ አገር ይሄ ቅርጽ ሊኖራት ይገባል የግድ ይህን ቅርጽ ለማግኘት ያ ጦርነት ሰዎችን መቅጠፍ ነበረበት ብዬ ባላምንም ከሆነና ካለፍንበት ግን የከፍልነው ዋጋ በአንድነታችን ደምቆ በልማታችን ፍሞና በፍትሀዊነታችን ታትሞ ሊቀጥል ይገባል እንጂ በመነቋቆር እንዲደበዝዝ ልንፈቅድ አይገባም።

በዚህ መሀል ግን ግፎቹንም ጥንካሬዎቹንም በማንሳት ጉዳዩን ከበቀሉበት ዘር አንጻር ሳይሆን ከመረጃዎችና ሀቆች አኳያ ባዩ ወንድምና እህቶቻችን ሚዛናዊነት ኮርተናል። ጎበዝ ይሄን የስነምግባር ስብራታችንን አርመን እንቀጥል። አስቻጋሪው ፖለቲካው ሳይሆን የኛ ያደፈ ስነምግባር ሆኗል። በመሆኑም ለቀና ፖለቲካ ቀና ፖለቲካዊ ባህሪዎች መገንባት እንዳለብን አስባለሁ።

Self Respect and Mental Slavery:
The words ”piazza” and ”merekato” are first introduced by the occupying fascit Italians. And, thanks to the banda lover and heroic Ethiopian Arbengoch (partisan) leaders and follower murderer and assassinate Ras Teferi of the last Oromo king later to be known as king Haileselassie were by his direct order to continue to be named as such. Gonder city that erected the statue of the Great leader and unifier of Ethiopia who not only put an end to the era of Zemene Mesafint or ”the Age of The Princesses” where the divided Ethiopia before that was ruled just the not long ago Fiefdom of Somalia by local self proclaimed leaders or kings but The great and visionary leader Emperor Tewdros II took his own life so that to save Ethiopia from being colonized. BTW: The idea and vision of modernizing Ethiopia of Emperor Minilik II was adapted from Emeror Tewdros while the young Minilik II was in house arrest in Gonder till he was assisted by one of the eldest sons of t Emperor Tewdros’s to escape from ”prison” = house arrest and namely by Ras Meshesha Tewdros from where I descend from on my fathers side. According to the accepted norms in Europe if the ruler, king or Emperor took his own life in the battle field then the invading army must leave the country within weeks.
But how does Gonder show her respect to this extraordinary and visionary leader who not only unified Ethiopia but had a great vision to modernize Ethiopia and finally gave his own life to save Ethiopia?
First, they called the areas where the statue is erected as ”piazza”
second, behind the statue there is a yellow painted cheap looking building called Hotel Ethiopia. What? Hotel Ethiopia. And every tourist knows what this so called bars and hotels of the type are. They are full of western drinks and cheap local prostitutes.
Third, the building on the right and left side of the statue are not representing anything better tharn hotel Ethiopia either.
As the old adage says: If you want to be respected then start respecting yourself.
If it is up to me I would have literally demolished ALL the buildings around the statue of Emeror Tewdros II and:
1. would have elevated the statue at least by two meters where under the feet of the emperor would be based with the finest marble stones.
2. Behind the statue I would have built a state of the art modern library where the library that is filled with history books, auditoriums every hour displaying historical movies of Emperor Tewdros and Ethiopian history
3. Another Auditorium where ancient and acustically modernised Ethiopian musical instruments like Masinko, Kirar and also Begena are displayed among historical paintings of The Great Emperor Tewdros II
4. Finally another big Auditorium meant to play traditional melodies (and no eskistas and dance; you have to be serious) with traditional instruments but also traditional melodies played by the extraodrinarily talented musician with modern musical instruments like for Example Tigist Ejigu; Girma Yifrashewa type of serious melodies played by extraordinary musicians Ethiopi has produced or employ talented musicians graduating from the music Institute to play serious melodies that not only remind the ancient glory of the nation but also its sad moments of the past and present
5. On the Right side build a state of the art building with many conference rooms
6. On the left side A state of the art modern building meant for promoting modern science in all the field including space science.
Having said that it would have been self respecting to repair the cracks of Emperor Miniliks II’s statue in Addis Abeba before it collapses but also build and modernize Ankober too with similar architects and celebrate his anniversary and emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, for the mind set to be free one needs self emancipation first. A slave mentality with as soul like a hollow pipe verbally repeating again and again like a stupid parrot without seriously meaning it and being caught red handed with his/her vernacular of the slave mind in himself/herself by using words for areas like mehal Ketema – ”Piazza”; Yegebeya adarash or Gebeya – ” Merkato”; Wanna Ketema – Medina”. ”Mecca” is missing. And, ALL this is because of a mental slavery stupid.

The problem today in Ethiopia is not only the Weyane imposed accepting, adapting and aquiring in other words becoming an empty fluit with a slave mentality of not only refusing to accept the celebration of the 100th Aniversary of the visionary and freedom fighter Emeror Minilik II but also inculcating into the minds of those who are ignorant of their past history and specially amomg the youth uneducated and even educated making them mere marriage herds who not only call their capital city ”MEDINA”. The word medina is an arab word originating from the old vassal state of the Axumite Empire and namely ´today’s Saudi arabia. Furthermore even Gonder had to call the plaza surrounding The great unifier Emeror Tewdros II (Ras Kasa) who accordind to the facts originate on his mothers side from Fasiledes but his name tarnished by the last Oromo king Haileselassie who made Ethiopian’s believe that his mother was a ”Kosso” Vendor. Which is absolutely untrue.In fact asfter Ras Kasa’s mother was divorced she went back to Gonder where she inherited a huge fertile land territory and never as a princess worked a single day.
To go back from where I started if these ignorant masses uneducated or educated call Addis Abeba a ”MEDINA” a question remains to be asked: when is the TPLFites are going to name one or multiple towns and cities the next ” MECCA”?
Furthermore, I was caught by surprise that after one of my articles somewhere the Ethiopian PM HD came out with his grand fathers name Boshe. Not enough PM. First of all you claim that your a man of faith. So why didn’t you admit the fact in one of the interviews in Ethiopian TV that you were requirited by PM MZ because your wife is an Eritrean just like PM MZ’s mother and or as we hear she is half Eritrean and half Tigrayn and that you are nothing but a parrot for the hard core TPLFites.
Not only you but all your compatriots and all the rest Ethiopians including Oromo’s, Tigrayns don’t change their name and also give their children their respective ethnic name? Are you ashemed of your origin or are you going to tell everybody that it was imposed on you by Amara’s?
Mind you the last Oromo king Haileselassie was an Oromo himself who just like all the rest of you has been trading in Amara name.
What did Amara’s get? A mass murder of specially Shewa Amaras by PM MZ and the illegal occupation of Amara territories of Begemidir (today you all have decided to call it Gonder, but Gonder is the capital city of Bege Midir ocupying half of Bege Midir (today you call it Gonder) of Setit Humera, The densely ancient forest land of Northern Wello and the so-called Felasha land. Whereas the Oromo’s have also illegally occupied almost two third of Amara territory. What is rediculous was and still is that the Oromo’s even wanted to occupy at the point of a gun lasta and Lalibela where the famous rock huen Churches are. That was even hard to swallow for the then theier ally in mass massacre of Amara’s: The TPlF and the Eritrean liberation front.
A person or a nation without the knowledge of its past don’t have a future you the mesmerizes and walking dead marriage herds.

Why Emperor Minilik II?
It is sad to see how the TPLFites together with their former master (pre 1992) also a Tigryan present day Shaebia Esayass have planted the seeds of hate in particular against Amara’s amd in Particular the Shewa Amara’s who still today live in the poverty of their forefathers. Take an example of Debre Birhan which is one of the oldest ”cities” with over 600 years history. While ThE TPLFites has been developing as per the pre 1992 plan of Esayass of Eritrea to ”make the Singapore of Africa within ten years” a plan a nd dream then directely adapted by the TPLFies where Tigray has already develped with electricity and clean dreankable water available or 98& of the population and already majority of the dominating majority is using tracter and harvest combiners particulary Amara’s and in particular Shewa Amara’s live not only in the poverty of their forefathers but even 15-20% of them don’t have electricity nor clean drinkable water.
Dr. Derbretsion and others in the TPLF are talking about corruption while at the same time being the close friend and ally of Azeb Mesfin. Everybody remembers then when Meles was still alive and was the PM of Ethiopia, $11 Billion dollars was literally robbed from the National Bank of Ethiopia which is only the top of the iceberg robbed by TPLF leadrers transfering it to the so-called EFFORT of Tigray by transfering it to the Bank in Mekele and oversea accounts meant to develop Tigray.
What concers not celebrating Emeror Minilik II’s 100 birthday because of TPLFites refusal is a poicy that has already sent a clear message to all the people of colours that servitude, slavery and colonialism is better than freedom. History teaches us that when Emeror Minilik II sent to all the corners of Ethiopia his famous ”Awaj” to unite and join him to evict the imerialist colonialist Italy, it was only Eritrea except some 10-20 individuals who crossed the border and joined Tigryans and eventually Emeror MinilikII to fight for FREEDOM while the majority remained deaf and mute and porefered to remain ”the ASHKERE” for their colonialist master who discriminated them just like the Afrikaner fascists discriminated our dark skinned South African brothers and vsisters where the Italians also had for blacks and whites benches, toilets etc..etc..
The TPLF evidentely prefers servitude and Etthiopia to be colonised and to become ASHKERE’s just like Eritreans then.
It is also worth mentioning that Eritrean’s and Tigryans have been engaged in the Atlantis slave trade saling our dark skin Etbiopian brothers and sisters to the Arabs which has been well articulated and written by W.E.B Du Bois after he finally immigrated to Ghana.
We are now in the 21st century but as one Eritrean aquintance of mine who still want to be called Ethiopian told me that Tigray poisened with hate have remained in the mindset of the 18 and 19th Century mindset. This is not a question of shame but very far from being a question of shame only.
The visionary Emeror Minilik II in fact deserves much more than the TPLFites pro-servitude; pro-slavery and pro colonised mentality.
Furthermore, after the TPLF cheated in particular Amara’s who bleeded blood of huge rivers in the fight against col. Mengistu’s regime and armed including with tanks and fighter helicopters who joined the Amara liberation front fro col. Mebgistu’s army finally taking full control of Ethiopia together Shaebia and Esayass have turned Ethiopia for the first time into a country of slavery and servitude by the law drafted by PM Meles that Ethiopian’s can immigrate and work in arab countries with his shrewd and unscrupulous ”vision” making our brothers and sisters slaves for arabs thereby making them the cash cow’s. Now that it has backfired, the TPLF is trying to shift the blame to someone else and don’t even applogise from the Ethiopian people where Azeb Mesfin the mother of corruption still remains influential and best friend of Dr. Debretsion and the king maker Aitte Sibhat Nega who has made the late PM MZ to become the chairman and eventually clearing the roard to the highest sit of power.
It is worth mentioning that even the fascistic leader col. Mengistu has said: quote from a book written by an Europen, col. Mengistu has been quoted saying: ”…why not Saudi arabians and other arabs come and work as genitors and house maids..” unquote.
What the TPLF is doing to Ethiopia and in particular against Amara’s when one also considers the illegal occupation of Bege Midir (Setit-Humera; so-called Felasa land and the forest rich and fertile Northern Wello and now the TPLF’s refusal to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Emperor Minilik II is in no way different than Mussolini’s dream of resettling farmers from Italy in the fertile lands of Ethiopia.
@Zeryihun Kassa, are you really a journalist at Ethiopian Radio and Television Agency? I doubt your level eduction, your much neftenga than teddy afro, You are much confused than teddy still. the main problem with you guys are you are zeregna ppl on this planet. I need your clarification atleast on this ideas? ጦርነቱ ቅዱስም ርኩስም አልነበረም, So what? check the bible.
በዚህም በዚያም በኩል ክቡር ነፍሶች የተቀጠፉበት ነበር። በዚህም በዚያም በኩል ኦሮሞ የተሰለፈበት፣ የተዋጋበት፣ ያዋጋበትም ነበር። ያ አሰቃቂ ጦርነት እና ሰቆቃ ታለፈ። የሆነ ሆኖ በዚያ አሳዛኝ ሂደትም ቢሆን እምንወዳት ሀገር አግኝተናልና እንጽናናለን።
your sound is like, the very group character of accepting the atrocities or crimes committed to other Ethiopians is acceptable as long as your group is beneficiary of the system… action tells more about your values. Embarking on glorification genociders like Nazis and Minilik’s shows how much your group are ready for reconciliation with the very people they abuse..
We are highly disappointed the way you write. So sad to see people like you who preach hate to ward one nation as a journalist in Ethiopian Radio and Television Agency. your sound is simple newly born Menelik.. absolutely denying the massacre perpetuated against oromo’s and the southern nations by this brutal savage and claiming it as “holy war” is not just an insult to the victims of this monster…
In every history of world nations, atrocities have been condemned, recognitions have been given and justice has been served. After the end of WW II, every European state chose to acknowledge and honor the victims of Nazi, large or small; monuments were erected in every city to acknowledge and commemorate the lost lives, yea! The dignity of human life weighs and a better tomorrow is based on respecting each other’s history. Not only that, people never go to streets to commemorate Hitler or Mussolini, artists not eulogize them. Here in Ethiopia they reverse is right. The same people, who went to streets to oppose the statue of Graziani in Italian village, now couldn’t live without the love of Minilik while the latter’s atrocities by far outweighs that of the former in scale and number.
@you and Tedy afro(a man of holy war) is one of the nonsense’s ‘zeranga debtera’ in this planet. you both can’t be considered no more as human being, you , tedy and his followers are extremist amahara (neftegnas), who are not ready to understand the pain of other people. They have to blame their emiyye Menelik (African Hitler) who has made them as such ignorant human being on this planet.
Listen this and evaluate your level of thinking!
Dear Zeryihun Kassa,
As a journalist, it seems sounding that you tried to compose something for the public but political and historical analysis is by far beyond what you have said. In the first place it is a bit strange(a shame as well) to call a war (of what ever type and maginitude) ‘niether holly nor evil’. For your surprise there could be no holly war! War is war and is against the existance of human being! Minilik’s war was by no means less than this if not the most cruel as it was ethinic based(genocide) devastation. Still the involment of Oromo/other ethinic group warlords against their own people doesn’t make holly as you used in your statement. Minilik’s war to expand his empire was the most horreble as it sluaghted breasts of mothers, beheaded innocents,,,,,you cannot modify this and offcourse you cannot delete history. If it would be different history like Minilik was ruling central and northern ethiopia, who knows it could have been happened in forming an empire by far advanced than today’s ethiopia. I wonder whether you had any reference history book that compared abba jifar’s war against the minorities compared to miniliks war! This is just an attempt to neutralize minilik’s case, for which noone gives you his ear…Let me tell you one thing…if you consider Adolf Hitler’s war against jewish people to perish from the plant, you could have managed to restore your thinking. In this particular case if you are still saying his war was ‘neither holly nor evil’, provide that, as you used to say, he has contributed to build the powerfull Germany today, surely you will be in jail for life, let alone to sing for minilik.
