The Tigre Peoples Libation Front (TPLF) wiped out the prestigious social and religious assets such as the national conscience, yilugnita, shimglina, forgiveness, repentance, confession, witness, friendship, neighborhood, nationalism, unity and so on using the Ethiopian People Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) as a trojan horse.
The TPLF rulers went beyond what Satan did to the Serpent, Adam and Eve to detach even their ethnic patriarchs from God and make them work for TPLF. These very people whose hands are drenched in the blood of the unborn fetus, infants, children, young, adult, elderly and women are talking about negotiation and mediation as if they are the people of promise and trustworthiness.
It is a billion times better to trust Satan than to believe the EPRDF rulers in general and the TPLF leaders, in particular. Negotiation and reconciliation will never transform Satan to Angle, but it could transform the Angle to Satan.
If you doubt the existence of Satan, look at the leader of Tigre People Liberation Front (TPLF). No one has seen Satan as no one has seen God. Satan is known through his evil deeds as God is known through his good wills. Scriptures teach Satan steals, robs, cheats, lies and breaks his words. The holly books preach Satan worships money, spreads hate and enjoys bloodsheds. These satanic deeds have been the ritual of the TPLF leaders since they started annihilating the Wolkait Amaras 40 years ago.
One of the main architects of the wolkait master plan, Legese Zenawi, once boasted that his first step in the struggle for power was robbing public banks. His disciples, just like their prophet, robbed the wealth of Ethiopians including the six- thousand meters long mountains. The Ethiopian proverb goes: The Satan that ordained an individual as deacon will never leave him until he promotes the individual to priesthood. Satan ordained Legese Zenawi as deacon of bank robbery and stayed with him until he promoted him to priest of life robbery.
The priest of life robbery, Legese, his comrades and his disciples have massacred, tortured, disabled, jailed, displaced and sterilized hundreds of thousands of Amaras guided by the deddeb manifesto of establishing Tigre Republic at the graves of Amaras. This kind of manifesto is the work of Satan: No human being designs and practices annihilating one ethnic group to establish the republic of another ethnic group.
The graves of Amaras were not enough to establish the Tigre Republic as originally planned. Therefore, TPLF amended the deddeb manifesto to expand the graves to Ambo, Wolega, Jimma, Gambella, Arisi, Bale, Harergae, Sidamo, Afar and other regions. Based on this amended manifesto, TPLF has massacred the people living in these regions since the victims realized the barbaric nature of TPLF and resisted the daylight robbery of their lands and other resources.
The TPLF victims started to rise up in unison to root out the devil that kept them apart for twenty-five years. However, TPLF reacted swiftly portraying the metaphor of fire and straw. TPLF swore that it will continue to spray benzene among ethnic groups to compel them burn each other as straw and fire. This type of ritual again is the ritual of Satan: No human being works hard to compel people burn each other.
Having seen all these satanic deeds and leaving justice aside, the shameless power seekers are demanding reconciliation with lifelong murderers and life burners. The preachers of negotiation and reconciliation please look at the pictures of the massacred children and parents thrown over the streets, rivers, cliffs, mountains, jungles, valleys, mosques and monasteries of Ethiopia! Pay attention to the blood-soaked clothes, the fractured skulls, the disfigured faces, the deformed chests, the perforated bellies and amputated extremities.
What types of conscience, heart, and gut you have to sit down and reconcile with these kinds of murderers? Who in the universe gave you the mandate to reconcile with Satan on the behalf of the annihilated Amaras, massacred Oromos, slaughtered Anguaks, butchered Sidamas and decimated Ogadens?
Do you know any disciple of Christos or prophet of Allah, who has ever negotiated or reconciled with Satan except Judah, Gebremedihin, some Sheikhs, Mathias and some of his bishops? Has Christos ever negotiated or reconciled with Satan? Has Christos, Allah, Truth or Justice commanded you to negotiate or reconcile with Satan? Or don’t you believe the rituals of TPLF are the rituals of Satan?
