		<description>The more you write, the more you expose your TPLF agency company. You have no body to fool except these sheep heading to be slaughtered. There are consequences unfolding to take place in near future for these kinds of bigotry.  You claim to care about Mother Ethiopia while you’re destroying every inch of our social fabric to achieve your 
hidden agenda of AgaziTigre. You insult our nation and nationalities   Meles and Reda continue spend sleepless night thinking how to divide the Ethiopian nation. You jump from one corner to the other attacking everyone to undermine Ethiopian freedom of expression, freedom of religion and freedom association. You claim to know what the best is for our country Ethiopian while you affianced into street talk with immature bla… blas....blas. You continue to fool yourself believing you can fool Ethiopian. 

Ethiopians know your divisive propaganda between our people (Amharas and Oromos). How do you know these Amharas were killed by OLF? Were you there when this happen? If you were there, what were you doing there? How do you know the names of these people killed by OLF?  Tell us your endless lies that you read from the lists of Melese Zenawe media outlet or you were part of the mastermind. Agazi-Tigre orders OPDOs to kill innocent Amahara’s and blames it on OLF. Melese Zenawe strategy was (is) to provoke hatred among Amaharas and Oromos by massacring of Amhara’s and Oromos in different parts of our country so that Tigre’s will have enough time to loot and steal our resources to build and liberate Tigre while we continue argue and fight each other.  The Ethiopians know the divisiveness of TPLF and Reda. This heartless Tigre’s continued to implement the same divisiveness among other tribes. There are your people (Tigre) who committed genocide against on our brother in Gambella and Somalis in Ogden. 

Getachew Reda, I am glad to read your agony!!!
We are coming after you with full force.</description>

		<description>Jawar&#039;s article has given the anti-Oromo groups the fertile crying &amp; weeping ground. The anti-Oromo creatures are hanging on the OROMIA to hinder her from walking forward, but she is taking the wide steps forwards when leaving the anarchy creatures far away behind. I am sure the time is not far away that the forward walking OROMIA will reach her destination.</description>

		<description>I agree with annonymous; Jawar&#039;s article is honest. Dr Messay is wordy. He is not addressing oromo to win them, but affirming his loyality to habashas. Why doesn&#039;t he write an article why Amaras failed to free themselves of tplf? let us hear him analysing the struggle of Amara, as he does of oromo.</description>

		<description>1. In their history,the Oromo people have never been under one political leadership. For the first time, it is TPLF that has created Oromia.
2. Oromos are comprised of mainly muslims, orthodox christian, Lutheran church followers, and Oromo indegeous religion followers. The muslims are the majority.
3. The Oromo land is encircling the Southern Nationalities land. Their is no clear demarcation of borders. Oromo region in Hararge Bale is also sharing un agreed borders with the Somali region. If fact, both Oromia and Somali regions claim Dire Dawa.

          CONCLUSION
I do not think that a region created and imposed from above will sustain. The present political unity of the Oromo region created by TPLF will doom to failure. Secondly, the present political game in the horn of Africa is religion, not language. The differences in religions are a big hindurance to Oromo unity. Thirdly, the undemarcated borders between Oromia and many nationalities is another serious problem to create the new Oromia.
Therefore, I recommend that Oromo nationalists come with something better.</description>

		<description>Mr Jalleta 

Truly you got proper name it can fits you. I don&#039;t think you gave your self this name on purpose but it looks good on you. Anyway, do You know its meaning ? &quot;Jalleta&quot; means &quot;Crooked&quot; in Amharic xamaamaa (tamama). Ok Mr Jalleta (Crooked) please stop your crooked mentality about Oromo people because you have no right to talk about it. If you had Oromo in your blood, you should know the meaning of Jalleta before you call your self Crooked.</description>

		<description>Good point adubenet. OLF is dying for its beliefs no matter how misguided it seems in our eyes. The country is on the brink of collapse and disintegration and the &quot;good&quot; professor is talking about the importance of having a civilized debate. OLF is a night mare to woyane because it has choosen to fight fire with fire. The coward woyane who never fought but walked in and took power during the confusion hate to confront an armed group. They like to shoot an unarmed civilians who can not shoot back. woyane will eventually be destroyed but not by this so called &quot; peaceful&quot; struggle and certainly not by fancy words and &quot; debates&quot; on the net. instead, it is going to be by Ethipians who choose to fight fire with fire. Right now, Jawar is a realist and the professor is an illusionist.</description>

		<description>Dear Mr. Messay Kebede,
 
I have carefully read both of you articles as well as that of Jawar Siraj. Though I may not share all of jawar&#039;s views, I observed that he was trying to be as honest as you could possibly be. In the contrary, you seem to be very desperate to record a political point so that you will prove your heroines to your Habasha peers who are famous for denying the reality on earth and trying to live in dream. You have shown your mastery of playing with words, leaving issues aside.
 
To substantiate my point, let me just mention one example. I have never read any word about cessation from Jawar&#039;s articles. Neither did I sense any implicit or explicit point that suggests that Jawar supports cessation. As you surely understand, it is not only dishonest to focus all your debate on a point never raised or advocated by your opponent, it is also a proof that, you, like most of your peers, are preaching what you wish; not what you believe or see. 

Suggesting that OLF is just about session also misses the point. You are very much aware that that OLF has never said cessation is the only option. However, describing OLF as cessations is the easiest way of dismissing OLF and the issues it raises as insignificant which, which you and your peers never resist using as the first and last debate point.

As Jawar said, I believe, the significance of OLF is long over due. Categorizing every Oromo that has dared to raise any issue about Oromo only helps to extend the life of OLF though it is no more capable of getting out of the self inflicted wounds. My only suggestion is that, lets leave the dying OLF to keep marching to its end and begin talking about issues that help us have a promising future.

Sincerely</description>

		<description>Mr. Jalleta!!! Hats off to you, brother.  These two gentlemen are doing the right thing what those imbecile leaders huddled together around OLF.  This notion of secession has been a sort of affliction to them, a kind of addiction that mutilated their God-given brain for a long time.  They are lost cause.  What they are dreaming has been this chance of one day seceding &#039;Oromia&#039; from the rest of the fraternal people and become presidents, prime ministers, foreign ministers and aba biyas.  What they don&#039;t or rather refuse to understand is the fact that my Oromo people are peace-loving and harmonious people and know who and what caused them the misery.  My Oromo people have already figured these connivers from Minnesota out from the outset.  Lencho, Dima and aquired names as such these sounds good and that is all about them.  Their knowledge of the Oromo people only goes back to the last 130 years.  Because they know the fact that if they go back farther than that their version of the history of the Oromo people and territory will lay bare and exposed.  I am ashamed of them all that they are considered to be from my proud heritage.  I wish they were not even born.  Now, I have a question about the claim they made for me and thousands others.  Where is that big and long-range heavy gun you told me you had and ready to deal with the goons from Adwa? Boy...Boy...Boy..!!!! What liars!!!!!!</description>

		<description>Adu Bent, 

Your comments are like your screen name bent. Why do you inject such a distressed article for the case as big as this that needs to be addressed in depth by the renowned scholars Ato Messay kebede and Jawar Mohammed.  Instead of pointing a finger did you ask your self what inputs did you offer to alleviate the problems in Ethiopia?
This Oromo issue particularly needs to be addressed now and we need every ideas to be forwarded, entertained,  discussed  and get a solution before the next government is set up as the time is approaching for tplf to go. There are many indications that tplf is rotten internally.  We have to encourage people like Jawar and Ato Messay and others to come up with ideas and clear the road ahead  of that country so we will not be a laboratory for another two decades or so by oromo or any other factions. My friend Adu Bent, do not get frustrated when ever ideas are coming as for any actions ideas are the foundations. If you are short sighted about seeing beyond the rotten tplf then I am afraid you are  recommending the same two decades of anarchy for Ethiopia. So it will be better to know thy self, a short sighted person should not point a finger on those who had a vision beyond the horizon.</description>

		<description>Messay, stop calling the eritrean issue as seccession. It is not. It is liberation. Which is something completely different. Ethiopia and eritrea have never been one country. Secondly nobody &quot;allowed&quot; Eritrea to be independent. it was rather a result of a combination between a long and bitter armed struggle and a referendum after the military victory over the derg. And eritreans voted overwhelmingly YES to independence. And now the the final decision has been rendered concerning the border between our two countries, the talk of Assab or any other part of Eritrea is nothing but a declaration of war from the groups or individuals who still harbour such thoughts!</description>

		<description>I am very pleased to see a well cultured and civilized dialogue from parts of  Obo Jawar and Ato Messay Kebede. You two guys are a very best example for the rest of Ethiopians that we can work out our differences by presenting ideas and putting our different perspectives in such a civilized manner. You chose this refined way instead of going the other path in which many of us failed to reach a viable consensus that led us to a meaning less disparity and hatred. From such a refined dialog we can learn and shape our positions on this big issue.  I am half Oromo and half Amhara by birth and torn apart on the idea of disintegrating Ethiopia by a few reckless Ethiopian called themselves Oromo liberators. Allow me to put the following point for a second time. 
I am in total confusion when some Oromo groups are singing self determination day in day out. What are they looking for?  A power of majority government as they claim they are the largest tribes of Ethiopia. I do not understand why they insist in the so called self determination.  From who and for what purpose? Did they look the Ethiopian people and how they are located in that big country? Who will be seceded from whom?  We have witnessed the ugly pictures and results of secession. I do not think that the Ethiopian people including the majority Oromos will be happy to create 70 small governments and villages called nation from one country. Instead we have to fight and concentrate on how we can create a strong democracy in united Ethiopia.
No one in his reasonable mind is going to disintegrate a country just to get power while they can achieve their majority representation in a government if democracy is given a chance to implement power by the people to the people. However, those who are advocating self determination are afraid of this democracy because they know they will be rejected by the majority of the “Oromo that they want to liberate from slavery.”
This people are greedy individuals who need to benefit at the expense of the Oromo people. We the people have to stop these ill advised power thirsty hate mongers.</description>

		<description>Ato Messay:
Can you stop moaning about OLF and distracting us from the REAL issues? You seem to &quot;care for the country&quot;, and OLF and Oromos are the least of the troubles. If you have problem with them, say so. Why anyone has the urge to write on the issues you choose when we have a big unbearable burden removing the tyrants. We are not in any mood to listen your elitist comments coming from the so-called diaspora when you have never succeeded in making any significant contribution in the struggle except writing fancy articles that do not hold water. Wake up!</description>
