God bless ethiopians,ethiopia and knigit.There is something which we need to know that knigit is a collection of intelectuals from all corner and groups,nither woyane nor derg in the past are.I dont know why some groups like pro woyane dont want a +ve change.If god will we support knigit
whith in short peroid of time ethiopia will be like singapur or south koria.The fact is these people are not just power thursty but they want to make a differinc.Due to all these fact people specially pro woyane group stand for our country,dont stand for one person.Look the combination of knigit look their educational label.Have you ever seen such type of collectives?PS think twice and wage who will gain from afermative change,and this could be brought only by knigit as of now.We saw eprdf for the last 17 years and look the fact what the ethiopian people gaine from thir administration.I leave the answer for woyane sport group.
