MY VIEW
The
Legacy of Meles????
Meles has opened many blind eyes of the Youths in Ethiopia!
Transform the culture and understanding of the people like a motor! Some of
them are still gearing the motor but others seemed to exite from the journey! However
he had inspired many people including the opposition groups who are literary
speaking his words accordingly! Ex. Is Jauwar Quote most of the time Meles
words but used it to his own propaganda! So his influence are to be traced!
Time was very crucial in his fight against his priorities I think. He thought Tigray needs a kick to transform but the
others need a lot of energy and time to reach the same result. That was why he
gave priority to others than his own TPLF. The other Groups of TPLF were not good either. Even they had planned to eliminate him! What did he do at that time??? He did nothing against except
asked them to leave. Any way that was a sin day to Tegrau! A tragedy for the people
of Tigray and Ethiopia in general!
Meles was a moderate and flexibility leader was unbelievable and
made friends out of his enemies! He trusted the sister parties from ANDEM and
OPDO more than his own TPLF after that incidences and worked with them smoothly
to change the image of present day Ethiopia almost ignoring those comrades from
Tigray! This fact is what you can perceive from his books and facts you witness
in the ground!
He considered by default his neighbors as friends not as enemies!
He used to say we have no big enemies but Poverty!
What we learned from the previous Governments in Ethiopia were that
we were surrounded by Ethiopian Enemies! We knew that, too from the History
written by the elites!
Just for the reason to stay only in Power without calculating
the consequences! What meles was doing and his diplomacy has brought a result. He suggested that our relationship with our Neighbors would be based on mutual understanding and benefit either with Sudan,
Kenya Uganda, Rwanda or other African countries even with Essay’s Eritrea! And Egypt!
Any way try to search the deep realty and his limitations and possible
potential at that time. We will need more time to judge in a rational way what
he could have done and what Might not! I, personally, was not happy at the slow
developmental activities in Tigray but it was a collective responsibility when
you come to Tigray but in other places that was easy for him to convince and
influence than his own comrades from TPLF. We still need time to judge. Tewo.
