Woyane's New Year Gift to the Sudan...

Christmas has become commercialised today more than ever before. Its religious significance seems to diminish year after year. Gradually I am also falling to this trap of capitalist holiday which is driving me spend my minimum wage earning rather than saving it.

Well, enough about my complaints about what the western hemisphere is doing to me, since we have our dictatorial regime in Ethiopia teaching us a new culture of gift giving. In his recent visit to the Sudan, the Meles has generously signed an agreement to demarcate the border with the Sudan and in the process handing over some of the precious lands to the Sudan.

The Sudanese who felt encouraged by this news formed a new organization called the Fashaqah Lands Liberation Organization (FLO) and began demanding even more lands deep inside Ethiopia. If you ask where these lands are, where else but the Wolqait Tegede region that is under the invasion of the Woyane.

What the Sudanese call Al-Fashaqah lands are the fertile lands of Ethiopia known as Mechach and Lugdi. In fact Ethiopian farmers such as Getachew Yirga, Fitawrari Serebe Lemma are among the many who own and farm these lands.

Previously the Sudanese border was limited to the west of the river Angereb but eventually they began to cross to the east. Despite the local cry of the local Ethiopians the Haileselassie regime turned a blind eye and deaf ears. Refer to the following map to witness the geographic location of what I am talking about.

So, Why is the Woyane giving up these lands to the Sudan? Well, as you might know the Sudan is a hostile nation to Ethiopia as it frequently has interfered in the internal affairs of Ethiopian politics. Therefore, the Woyane regime which is at its peak of collapse has to make some concessions with these nations in order to at least prolong its disastrous political existence. So, why not just give few lands to the neighboring dictator in order to protect the Sudanese government from harboring Ethiopian opposition groups and militants. After all it is not Tigray's land, it stole it from the provinces of Gonder.

So, I wonder what the problem is with every so called Ethiopian governments? Why are they always turning their backs on us? Why? They would come to us whenever they need to overthrow a government, but they are never to be found when we look for them to help us at our dire needs.
