The Ferensay Legacion area residents of Addis Ababa have awared the Vice President of the Coalition for Unity and Democracy Party (Kinijit) Bertukan Mideksa a brand new car on Saturday.
Ferensay Legacion is Wzt. Bertukan's neighborhood. It is also an area that was savagely attacked by Woyanne tanks and Agazi special forces during the Nov. 2005 civil unrest when the residents tried to protect their favorite daughter from being taken away by security forces. To avoid further boodshed, Bertukan surrendered herself to the Woyanne, saving the neighborhood from Mogadishu-like devastation.
Also on Saturday, the Ferensay Legacion residents had organized a luncheon for the Kinijit leaders. Representing the party, Wzt. Bertukan and Prof. Mesfin gave speeches. Kinijit President Hailu Shawel could not attend the luncheon, but he was represented by his son, Shawel Hailu.
Ethiopian Review correspondent in Addis Ababa has filed the following report in Amharic (Amharic font can be downloaded here):
የቅንጅት ምክትል ፕሬዚደንት ብርቱካን ሚደቅሳ መኪና ተሸለሙ
በአዲስ አበባ ከተማ በተለምዶ ፈረንሳይ ለጋሲዮን እየተባለ በሚጠራው አካባቢ የሚኖሩ ነዋሪዎች የአካባቢያቸው ልጅ ለሆነችው ወ/ት ብርቱካን ሚዴቅሳ መኪና በመሸለም ደስታቸውን ገለጹ፡፡ በተጨማሪም ከእስር ለተፈቱት የቅንጅት አመራሮች የምሳ ግብዣ አደረጉ፡፡ በግብዣው ላይ ፕሮፌሰር መስፍን ወ/ማሪያም እና ወ/ት ብርቱካን ንግግር አድርገዋል፡፡
ከቀኑ አምስት ሰአት ጀምሮ ነበር ግብዣውን ያዘጋጁት የአካባቢው ነዋሪዎች ጉድ ጉድ ማለት የጀመሩት፡፡ እንግዶቹ በተጠሩበት 7፡00 ሰአት ሲመጡ ግን አካባቢው በጩኅት ተናወጠ፡፡ ሁሉም ደስታውን በጭብጨባ መግለጽ ጀመረ፡፡
ዝግጅቱ ወደተደረገበት የቀበሌ እድር አዳራሽ ሲገባ አዳራሹ ውስጥ የተሰበሰበው ህዝብ ደስታውን የሚገልጽበት ስሜት ምናልባትም ከምርጫው በሓላ የመጀመሪያው የህዝብ ስሜት ሊባል የሚችል ነበር፡፡ ሁሉም ታዳሚ የቅንጅት አርማ የሆነውን የጣት ምልክት በማውጣት በፉጨት ደስታውን ይገልጻል
አዘጋጆቹ ንግግር ካደረጉ በሓላ የምሳው ግብዣ ሥነስርአት የተከናወነ ሲሆን ኣቶ ኃይሉ ሻውል ባለመገኘታቸው የተዘጋጀላቸውን ስጦታ በልጃቸው አማካኝነት ተሰተቸዋል፡፡
በተጨማሪም ለፕሮፌሰር መስፍን ወ/ማሪያም ስጦታ የተሰጠ ሲሆን ይህ ለሁለቱም የተሰጠው ስጦታ የቅንጅት አርማ የሆነው የጣት ምልክት የተቀረጸበት ዱላ ሲሆን ‹‹በትረ መንግስት›› ሲሉም ሰይመውላቸዋል፡፡
ለአቶ ሙሉነህ ኢዩኤል እና አቶ አለማየሁ ለተባለ የአካባቢቸው ወጣት ተጨማሪ ሥጦታን ከሰጡ በኋላ ለወ/ት ብርቱካን ሚዴቅሳ ሽልማት እንዳላቸው ተናገሩ፡፡ ህዝቡ ሽልማቱን ለማወቅ በከፍተኛ ጉጉት የጠበቀ ሲሆን ‹‹ጀግና›› ላለት የአካባቢያቸው ልጅ የመኪና ቁልፍ አስረከቡ፡፡ ህዝቡ ደስታውን በጭብጨባ ገለጸ፡፡
ወ/ት ብርቱካን ምን እንደምትናገር የጠፋት በሚመስል ስሜት በሁለት እጆችዋ አርማውን እያሳየች ከወገቧ በመጎንበስ ምስጋናዋን ገልጻለች፡፡ ወደ መኪናዋም በመሄድ የተሸፈነችበትን ጨርቅ ገልጣ ተረክባለች፡፡
አዘጋጆቹም ሽልማታቸውን ካጠናቀቁ በኋላ ‹‹አቅማችን ፈቅዶ ሁላችሁንም ብንሸልም ደሰ ባለን ነበር… ግን ለሁላችሁም የሚሆን አንድ ስጦታ አለን እሱም ልባችን ነው›› ብለዋል፡፡
ወ/ት ብርቱካን ሚዴቅሳና ፕሮፌሰር መስፍን ወ/ማሪያም ረዘም ያለ ንግግር አድርገው ፕሮግራሙ ተፈጽሟል፡፡

I want to know what the Woyanes feel at this time. Really it is shame for the suporters of this insane party. I believe that this will continue in other areas and for other CUD leaders as well. People will describe their haterade to this "government" in many ways and this is one way if they understand it. Thank you men. I am very much surprised on what you did.
August 26th, 2007 at 9:17 PM
i am amazed and my eyes are full of tears. imagine the infilation in addis this days which makes people difficult to survive let alone contribute money. despite all this hurdles addiss ababians show their commitment by buying a car for bertukan.

The people of Ferensaign legacion, you deserve great appluad for you bravery.
It is indeed a sign of deep love for a person stand for the cause of the people, and it is also a sign of hate for the most hated regime that wanted to humiliate the people's precious diamond's.
The millennium should be used to express people's love for the CUD leadership and hate for Meles and his mafia ganges.
All public millennium celebration in Ethiopia and outside should be start by remmebering those killed, tortured, imprisoned by Meles.
The "V" sign of CUD should be visible in peoples hand and everywhere.
The millennium celebration shouild be used to voice our support for the democratically elected CUD leadership, and denouncation of Meles the thief of 4 kilo, the killer of Addis Ababa, the lier of Africa

God bless you Ferensya Legatsionoch. What a message to the diasporans, amidst all untouchable daily life costs, the hero people do what they want … they award our heroine and all their heart. In a good sense we can support the struggle but in messing it NO NO NO. The very people in fire and struggle are at home and they are signaling what it means by KINIJIT – a spirit of love and unison, love and democracy.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:33 AM
This is how we Ethiopians are devoted to respect our true leaders. And this is a very clear lesson to the weyanes if they have the ability to understand. Storming the public medium with full of lies is not the way to conquer our hearts.
Kinijit is the right way for democracy.
People of Ferensay Legasion, you are good symbols of struggle.
Viva Birtukan, viva Kinijit!
August 27th, 2007 at 6:05 AM
she deserves it!!!!!!!!!!
August 27th, 2007 at 6:50 AM
Hail our leaders, the authentic elected leaders of our people. Led by its true sons and daughters, Ethiopia will be a shining example where democracy, freedom and justice prosper. KINJIT has become synonymous with peace, love and forgiveness. No amount of violence perpetrated by zenawi and his henchmen can divert us from the true cause we stand for.

ሀ) ኢሕአፓ
ለ) ኢህአደግ
ሐ) ወያኔ
መ) ቅንጅት \/ \/
ሠ) ህብረት
August 27th, 2007 at 6:58 AM
Birtukan our heroine beloved daughter has been treated like she deserves it. God bless her.
A little twist in this interestng event is why Mr. Hailu was represented by his son. Are we headed towards absolute monarchy of Shawel Dinasty?
August 27th, 2007 at 7:03 AM
Abraham Lincoln in his famous Gettysburg Address said,
"this nation under God shall have a new birth freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."
I strongly believe that those who gave their lives for their country and people will always be honored, remembered and loved by all of us. Our dear Ferensay Legacion residents did something big that will be cherished by all of us. Imagine what we all could do for these amazing leaders. My great respect and love for you all. You made us happy and I am sure that you sent a strong message to our political leaders……
Let the new Millennium be the beginning…

It is a great sign of support from the people who have little but high hopes. What makes the greatest gift of all is when it comes from the loving heart without any conditions attached.
August 27th, 2007 at 11:30 AM
truly there are some beloved politicians; some beloved leaders. She,Birtukan, is one of them.

August 27th, 2007 at 4:11 PM
Thanks Elias for this good news!
I am extreamly happy about the gift the Ferensay Legesuen provided to Birtukan and the others. I could not stop crying after I read the news. I was following the news closly and when I heared that the people have collected about 80,000 birr, I was sure that the people would give her car. Amazing!. More importantly, the Ferensay people have given the lesson for all Ethiopians: they started the struggle inside the country. They have already sacrificed in 2005 and are keeping their workd to continue the struggle. WOW!!!! We love you Birtukan and the people of Ferensay Legasion.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:09 PM

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH, That is realy a great gift to our heros. when I read this my eyes were full of tears. Realy Birtukan is a abridge to unit the Country which is under risk by the divid and rule strategy of woyane. Now Kinjit is love and unity. All should follow the way what Fresay Legacion people are doing.
August 28th, 2007 at 12:19 AM
Siye Abraha paid tribute to her as a judge with integrity and knowledge. She proclaimed her party's philosophy as a spirit of freedom that cannot be stopped. Her constituency has shown that it is behind her all the way. God willing we have not yet seen the last of her. She is a leader we need to honor !!!!

Can U see that God is blessing ethiopian people and the CUD. This is a reward from Ferensay Legasiyonoch pocket not withdrawn from ethiopian tax payer like woyane state is doing.
August 28th, 2007 at 1:58 AM

August 28th, 2007 at 6:13 AM
Yes! Ferensay Legacion has been the flashing becon for decades. So many courageous brothers and sisters have died fighting the brutal Dergue. And now so many have died fighting Woyanne. Aren't they, the one who fought Agazis when they come to arrest their beloved Birtukan?
Yes!Ferensay Legacion knows how to fight and score. That's why it used to be called 2nd Assimba during the red terror era of the Dergue.
Thank you Ferencay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 28th, 2007 at 2:24 PM
Thanks to almighty God for giving us such a leader like Birtukan Midekessa at this difficult time. Our queen Birtukan deserves that –great respect and appreciation. KINIJIT is love, peace, prosperity, democracy, unity. God blees Ethiopia and it's children.
August 28th, 2007 at 3:07 PM
Ferencay Legacion should be renamed "Birtukan Sefer"
ፈርንሳይ ለጋሲዮን መባሉ ቀርቶ "ብርቱካን ስፈር" ተብሎ ይጠራ!
August 28th, 2007 at 5:24 PM
I can not tell in words how I am happy about the whole event at Ferencay. God bless you all.
But, after this amazing news, I heared the interview of Ato Bedru Adem and I become very depressed. When people are showing how ready they are to support the struggle, he start to talk about divisive issues in the Ethiopia's CUD leadership within the framwork of the Diaspora politics. We need to say "STOP MR. BEDRU".
August 28th, 2007 at 6:02 PM
Hey guys from Ferensay Legacion suburb u did very well job i hope our country it ,ll be full of democracy.

August 28th, 2007 at 7:13 PM
Birtukan is a beautiful shooting star, morning star, a star by any name who brings light and hope to a people and country who have been walking in darkness for decades. May god protect her from evil. I am glad I lived long to see such a woman of the people.
August 28th, 2007 at 9:24 PM
The people of Fernsay Legacion, your action is examplary. What you did is the reflection of your genuine LOVE to our HEROS and country at large. I don't know what to say, how i felt when I read about what you did.
God Bless you and Long Live to Our HEROS.
August 28th, 2007 at 9:50 PM
Appricate the people of Fernsay Lagacion. The community in the area is low income compared, but they have done this to show their love for Birtukan Midekessa and CUD. They have passed a message to the rest of Ethiopians who really want to see democaratic Ethiopia. Now the CUD leaders have shown the direction and path of the new Ethiopian and it will be the responsibility of the whole population. The true struggle has begain now. There is no time to stand and wait. Let's act togather and change the image of the country. Thanks you to the Ferensay Legacion community… thank you again!! you have done good!! Stay strong! Birtu! CUD will remain the party of the people!!!
GOD BLEESS ETHIOPIA, OUR BELOVED COUNTRY
August 29th, 2007 at 1:23 AM
Addis People did a very Big Big thing that can be an Example for others and a "Yegir Esat" for Woyane and its Cadres.
Birtukan, I can't say a word because my vocabulary do not allow me to.
Any ways, at least I can say, THANAKS A LOT. REALLY I MEAN IT.

Thank you Ferensyoch!! You were there for your elected leader in the time of hardship and happiness. You made history. We diaspora have to learn a lesson. Our money has to go to the people in Ethiopia, not in the pocket of Leboch. By any means our money has to go to the true leaders and their suporters. GOD bless Ethiopia!
August 29th, 2007 at 3:08 PM
I have no words to explain my happiness. Birtukan you are our symbole of freedom.
