The World Is Made Up of The Hunters and The Huntees!
Belayneh Abate
Our conscience has been repeatedly stabbed by the endless massacre, incarceration, torture and massacre of the Ethiopian people. The non-Amara Ethiopian people suffered from these heinous crimes because they refused to give up their natural resources or they demanded more privileges.
On the other hand, the Amara People faced ethnic cleansing because it was declared as oppressor of the “nations and nationalities. As a result of these declaration, the Amaras have been subjected to systematic massacre, incarceration, torture, sterilization, displacement, starvation, poor education and economical development. As the testimonies, physical and mental status of Amara prisoners demonstrate, even the detention centers were disproportionately harsher on Amaras.
No creature in the universe sits idle when its progenies face atrocities that lead to extinction. The Amara elites have been sitting idle when their progenies have been systematically subjected to ill-treatment in every corner of the country.
As humans, we hope the world to be fair, compassionate and free of corruption and crimes. In realty, the world is full of corruption, unfairness, injustice and murders.
Ideally, we want the globe to be free of racial, sexual, religious, social status or other forms of discrimination. In realty, the globe has been inundated with any forms of discrimination since the birth of mankind.
Ideally, we wish the honest, the loyal and the just govern nations. In realty, the liars, the traitors, the hypocrites, the criminals rule countries.
Because the liars, the traitors and the criminals rule countries, the earth has been Hell for the weak since the era of genesis.
As philosophy teaches, the wise man Socrates was voted to death because the liar and the unjust rulers mislead the public that Socrates was corrupt and against all Gods.
As scriptures teach, Christos was crucified because of his liar accusers, who preached that he was against the Laws.
As history teaches the shrewd Europeans enslaved the naive Africans, Asians and Latin Americans using bible as their entrance gates.
As we know, the Jewish people were massacred by the Nazis because they were blamed for all the problems of that time Germany.
Similarly, the Amaras have been massacred, imprisoned, tortured, displaced, sterilized, and subjected to illiteracy and starvation because they are blamed for all the problems of the country. The elimination of Amara has continued and a large number of them are currently displaced even from the outskirts of Addis Ababa and other parts of the country where their forefathers protected spilling their blood since the earth was created.
Despite this survival threat of the Amara , the Amara elites still talk about empty love, unity, reconciliation, forgiveness standing behind the Ethiopian People’s Democratic Front (EPRDF) appointed “prime mister “. This criminal prime mister is the leader of EPRDF that hanged water bottles on testicles of men to sterilized Amaras. This hypocrite prime mister is the leader of EPRDF that administered unique birth control programs to sterilize Amara women. This prime mister is the leader of EPRDF that killed a son and forced his mother to sit on her son’s dead body.
As many opportunist elites think, this hypocrite- pastor prime mister is not a man of love and unity. If he was a man of love and unity, he could not have served the Tigre Peoples Libration Front for more than 20 years. If he was a man of love, he could not have built a breast monument based on baseless folktales. If he was a man of love and God he could have gone to a Monastery for redemption and repentance, not to palace to have more luxurious life and fame at the expense of martyrs his party crucified.
Dear Amara Elites, please stop being taken away by the undeliverable preaching of the hypocrite and criminal pastors. By the time criminal pastors preach about “unity and love”, the Amara People are being displaced even from the outskirts of Addis Ababa, Begemidir, and Gojjam. Despite these ominous dangers the Amara people is facing throughout the country , you are still beating the drums with unborn again pastors, who spit empty love words. Empty love words come also from the mouths of monsters that snatch believers from the hands of God. As the book of books teaches, you identify monsters by their past and current deeds, not by their empty words.
Ideally, we want the whole world to be united, to be fair and just. Unfortunately, the world has never been united, fair and just since Adam was through out to Earth from the Garden of Eden. Hoping the world will be united, fair and just one day, the religious and the cultured Amara people suffered more than the Jewish People suffered in Europe for the last 27 years.
The Amara people that has never been tricked even by the sophisticated European colonizers were deceived and betrayed by its on elites. Some deplorable Amara elites served its killers in different capacities, and majority others kept silence enjoying their luxurious lives. It is past due for Amara elites to stand by their people and teach the victimized Amaras about survival facts in a hostile environment. One of these survival fact is what Richard Connell said in his beautiful writing, the Most Dangerous Game: “The World is Made Up of The Hunters and The Huntees.”
Keep denouncing hunters, but you shall stop serving the hunters and making the Amara people the Huntees to promote ethnic cleanings of Amaras again. Thank you.
