The TPLF dynasty in Ethiopia

It has been more than 23 years since Tigray people liberation front(TPLF) clung to power. At the beginning it was thought that they fought to establish the rule of law in the country, however; we witnessed that their ambitions are to stay in powers as long as they can at any expense.

  

      Oromo prisoners of conscience. 

The grip of power at the gun barrel paved the way for them to lead the country in their own course.  In democracy it is the majority rule with minority right.If they have to practice this principle, there will not be much position for them as they wish so by creating a puppet party in which they can ride the direction of their interest. In one man , one vote the power goes to Oromo people where tplf does not want.

More than 99% of generals are from ethnic tigre, most officials at top position are also occupied by Tplf that is the litimus test for dynasty indicator." For in reason, all government without the consent of the governed is the very definition of slavery."Johanatan Swift.

The level of corruption is so high that the people of Ethiopia are suffering a lot. The economy is mainly controlled by the endowment fund for the rehabilitation of tigray(EFFORT) wherby the resources of the country is drained towards a single company where tplf is getting a lion share.  Enforcing themselves with economic means, tplf is attempting to grip in power at least for half a century.

The natural resources of the country is exploited without giving any attention to environment. There is no sustainablity issue with their policy which pretends to exploit without caring for the next generation. The chemical residue, environmental pollution  human right violation and lack of good governances aggravate the situation of Ethiopian people currently.

At any expense the ruling party(tplf) is doing its best to control the power. The amazing thing is that the period of dynasty was vanished in most part of the world, however; tplf is ploting to establish such laggard system. The rule of law to govern not the gun barrel.

Garry Hart once said, " I think there is one higher office than president and I would call that patriot". If we are patriots, we can bring about changes.

Democracy shall prevail!
