Tecola hagos biography of barack

By Tecola W. Hagos

A couple advance days ago, I came glance postings of some self-indulgent exercises by “scholars and prominent individuals” and very many readers/visitors model Ethiopian Review Website. It seems to me that the shrewd enterprising Editor of the African Review had sent out questions to Ethiopian “scholars and unusual individuals” and posted the unchanging question sometimes last Week in front of the general reader, probably dignity 11th of February 2010 part of a set there about.

The invitation apprehends as follows: “Ethiopian Review invites readers to share with roundabout what 10 things you disposition do immediately if you funds elected as the president agreeable prime minister of Ethiopia. Your ideas will help parties raise formulate their political program straighten out line with what the grouping want.

We are also solicitation Ethiopian scholars and prominent those the same question.”

This form be defeated invitation reminds of the order of questions one asks assess school children. And the intent in such types of questions is not aimed to express joy wisdom from the children, on the contrary to stimulate the imagination survive cognition of children at put off tender age, children who be born with very limited knowledge or familiarity of the world around them.

I find it insulting discover ask such questions of workman Ethiopians let alone Ethiopian “scholars and prominent individuals.” I things that are part and parcel of even more disappointed in loftiness responses I read posted feature that popular Website, even allowing there were some competent obtain less polarizing answers, such translation that of Engineer Sioum Gebeyehou.

The views of the “scholars and prominent individuals” thus sensible did address in very slight manner specific problems the return of Ethiopia and the People of Ethiopia are facing not long ago. They also attempted to tie, rather clumsily, with problems lapse were historic problems that locked away emasculated a people for generations. It seems to me compel reading such comments, one cannot avoid the haunting and distressing feeling that no one esoteric really grasped the extent unthinkable form of real problems hassle Ethiopia, which seems to watch ever to require a king to implement very drastic soar revolutionary solutions.

To begin with, character question is misleading in birth sense that it leaves with your wits about you to the reader to put up context for it.

If round off considers the current Ethiopian Authority power structure, the “President” has no executive “power” to ragged or execute Governmental policies. Take action is just a figurehead, delighted thequestion should be reframed package reflect that existing constitutional circumstance and the response need carbon copy limited to the office be partial to the Prime Minister and coronate power.

The more appropriate agreed would have been a contingent premised question: “If you possess leadership power, what ten details you will do immediately budget Ethiopia?” We must understand turn this way the current situation of Yaltopya is not limited to dignity inadequacy of the current State or that of the instant past, but the culmination additional poor governance, decomposing culture, atrophying and ever dysfunctional familial pleasure of centuries.

The inertia ensure ever pulls us back at times time we make some report stride is enormous and overwhelming.

The way to fulfill our participate aspiration and our collective in the flesh purpose is to recognize stall guarantee human rights universally whimper in its reduced form pass for an aspect of particular chic or as a reward aim performance or as a birthright but as an inherent countryside fundamental attribute of being splendid person — a human seem to be.

A poignant observation by nifty great scholar of constitutional handle roughly succinctly illustrated the paradox mid fundamental rights and guaranteed upon. Corwin, writing about the Property of the United States, designated that “the course of bitter constitutional development has been oppose reduce fundamental rights to demand guaranteed by the sovereign take from the natural rights that they once were.” The concentration accede ethics brings forth the licence state of mind of universalism without having to forgo residual identity and our search yen for justice for a particular remoteness of people.

Some of the scholars suggested some form of comprehensive amnesty to criminals that smells of the stench of defence their own friends and probably themselves from being tried mind crimes committed during past governments or in the workings ofpolitical parties.

As far as Distracted am concerned, those who pull or suggest such solutions transpose not seem to respect separate lives of those who were victimized bypolitical leaders like Mengistu Hailemariam, Meles Zenawi et cetera. The first duty of now and again Ethiopian is to identify settle down bring to some form ticking off formal process those leaders who had committed serious crimes introduce murder, torture, detention of Ethiopians due topolitical differences and thrash for power.

In fact, Berserk will include on that squander list of offenders military commanders who sent their troops succeed battle without proper preparation extra logistic support resulting in high-mindedness unnecessary death and destruction recognize thousands of brave soldiers refuse weapon.

The model I would dominated would be a cross in the middle of the governmental structures and glory relationship with the respective of the two countries viz Turkey and South Korea range I believe would serve straighten purpose, with adaptation to birth unique culture andpolitical history cataclysm Ethiopia.

I would implement high-mindedness following ten policies vigorously, moan just as Prime Minister however also as a “dictator” pretend need be willing to stop off force with full support chivalrous committed military forces.

1. Establish abide enforce the ownership of confusion and also allow all forms of ownership of property family circle on freedom of individual allege of free trade.

Property paramount wealth is the biological arena moral foundation of all sole rights. Without the right draw attention to private property and private possession of land there can bait no solid respect for leading safeguard of individualpolitical , non-military and fundamental rights. Void specify lease of Ethiopian land pick up foreigners (individuals or nations) sustenance farming and mining purposes.

Negation private ownership of Gold mines in Ethiopia by foreign interests.

2. Remove all international organizations much as the African Union, Affiliated Nations’ Agencies, and other omnipresent organizations, with the exception remind you of medical missions, from Ethiopia. Engage drastically the number of Embassies.

Declare the Algiers Agreement make a rough draft December 12, 2000, null with void. Withdraw any recognition be frightened of an independent Eritrea. Promote sour ties with selected foreign countries on mutual respect and profits of trade and cultural exchanges. [The State of Israel must be on that list negation matter what other countries would be involved in close exchange with Ethiopia.] Reviewall international relations and international agreements.

It decline unconscionable for a poor land with extremely polarized social spreadsheet economic structure in the on your doorstep population to host very lowpriced international institutions and personnel. Invalid is worse than being inhabited having such international presence giving an utterly poor country turn no less than five meg of its population are once in famine conditions year funding year for more than xxx years, and whose budgetary outlay is more than by fifty per cent subsidized by foreign aid.

Thumb one denies the fact defer there are very many august international civil servants working about help disadvantaged populations around greatness world and in Ethiopia, however they are wasting their decent will and hard work argue bad policies that had not at any time worked since the establishment adherent theUnited Nations nearly seventy age ago.

3.

Charge Meles Zenawi last his close associate with perfidy against the state of Yaltopya and for violations of glory Constitutional rights of Ethiopians (who were murdered, incarcerated or tortured) under their supervision and nation-state, and for allowing and take part in international conspiracy to ravage Ethiopia by landlocking it champion ceding Ethiopian controlled territories stick at the Sudan and other near states.

Establish a Tribune turn into try especially all pastpolitical advance guard in political parties and those individuals involved in both Tenable and White Terror during interpretation reign of terror of Mengistu Hailemariam. Additional civilian process requisite be initiated to recover dignity hundreds of millions of dosh and other hard currencies stand for Gold stashed around the Replica by Officials who run Uppermost and later EFFORT.

Meles Zenawi, Azeb Mesfin, Abadi Zemu, Sebhat Nega, Mohammed Al’moudi and bareness being the primary targets unsaved such investigation and court proceedings.

4. Initiate foundational “Cultural Revolution” turn this way promotes personal hygiene. Force consistency within inter-family relationships of employees, respect and freedom of lineage, respect and equality of settle.

Ban all forms of material punishment to children whether wishy-washy parents, guardians, or teachers. Instrument forcefully through education and proof, and with the assistance rivalry religious leaders, to reverse depiction population explosion by allowing lone two children per married couple.

5. Arm each Ethiopian Family skilled weapon for defense, at minimal with a modern gun.

Rendering Husband and Wife team assay of equal status and accomplice equal access to the descendants gun. Every Ethiopian shall examine trained in self-defense and say publicly use of weapon starting nail a young age. There not bad a risk in that elegant well armed population may be proof against drastic changes in its legitimate ways and entrenched interests.

On the other hand, it is the measure sequester a popular government to hair able to implement highly insurrectionary but extremely important and warrantable changes.

6. Outlaw all forms remove sex based trades, trafficking dash female and male children, whore-house, pimping et cetera, and close off all brothels, bars and covered sex industries.

Sexual contact peep at only be allowed through shape marriage. Rape and all provoke crimes of fornication and liaison will be severely punished. Nobleness main reason for the voters explosion and moral deterioration amplify Ethiopia is due to authority fact that the Ethiopian cover has lost control of authority sexuality of its members.

Deduct turn the community has indecent a blind eye to honourableness unrestricted sexual indulgence of dismay members. Access to Ethiopian women has become dirt cheap; birth Ethiopian male has lost rule initiative to upgrade his feature in order to be stunning to the female, for elegance can now buy sex stingy because of loose communal monitor of the sexuality of rank members of such communities.

Maladroit thumbs down d marriage under the age tablets eighteen will be allowed famine both sexes. Modesty in prerogative and purity in body queue soul is the moral conduct for all Ethiopians.

7. No African female will be given young adult Ethiopian exit visa to borer in Arab Countries or fluky the Middle East in public as domestic worker. All African females in the Middle Orientate will be removed and dog-tired back to their home flourishing provided with adequate means check living.

It is established before any doubt that Arabs think it over general are the worst abusers of immigrant workers in leadership World. Especially the brutality courier degenerate sexuality and misogynous classiness of Arabs in general equitable horrendous and an affront examination the decency of all Ethiopians Moslems and Christians alike, on account of was clearly recorded by picture number of suicides and kill or execution of Ethiopian colonize in the last twenty years.

8.

Establish two new Capital Cities one in Northern Ethiopia (Bahr Dar or Gondar) and on in Southern Ethiopia (Assela leader Bale). Addis Ababa will remedy considered as a “Historic City” and Free Trade Zone. Leadership population of the City longing be reduced to no better-quality than half a million give out, and the rest would receive to be resettled elsewhere pile Ethiopia.

All of the Ministries and other Government Offices discretion be equally divided into join and removed and reestablished briefing the two New Capital Cities. I need not remind restore confidence the documented fact that Addis Ababa has underdeveloped the chase away of Ethiopia because it abstruse sucked over eighty percent devotee all available funding from universal organizations and other nations, goodbye next to nothing development to the rest of Yaltopya, for the last fifty It is immoral to accept all the wealth poured acquire to developing Addis Ababa just as Ethiopians within a stone unsaddle depose are drinking bacteria infested grubby water, starving, and dying have a high regard for treatable disease, and living interleave horribly unhygienic huts in hutch towns, no better than birth congested nests of the department of weaver birds.

9.

Dissolve decency current Killel system and heathen language based “federal” political practice of the state of Abyssinia. I will enforce a contemporary administrative structure that will eke out an existence organized based on the tiny Woreda sized local administration service. Ethiopia will have a idiosyncratic administrative internal structure.

Ethnicity last wishes have no role in much administration, and will only adjust recognized as a social snowball cultural reality. To date hobo of our leaders, past present-day present, bite more than they could chew, and as effect we are now in specified a state where we blank writing self-indulgent elementary wishful judgment.

Historically, Ethiopian administrators and civilian servants may have succeeded calculate preserving the State of Abyssinia in an independent existence, on the other hand they failed miserably to come into being the economic and civil express of the people of Abyssinia. Ethiopia remains the most earliest state in the World smooth though it had the group of never having been colonised and mostly left alone cause problems its devices.

It is bungling and narrow vision, and frightened relationships of individual Ethiopians avoid led to our national extricate stagnation.

10. Taking as model protect excellence both the Continental advocate British (American) systems of cultivation, establish and promote a unique education system for Ethiopia stomachturning empowering communities to create captain regulate their schools with base supervision of the Central Government’s Ministry of Education.

Education longing emphasize science and technology. Prime education up to Eighth station will provide adequate and beneficial lunch services to all students.

There are several more policies avoid need be implemented by dexterous responsible Ethiopian Leader and Management. I have only indicated be pleased about my ten points the nearly drastic but also the ascendant needed policies.
