A Trial Testing Solidarity and Leadership Quality!
Lishan Akuma’s trail is not specifically about a young and brave woman rather, about thousands of men and woman in Diaspora thus dare to sacrifice their freedom and lavish lifestyle for the unconditional release of our leaders from Woyane penitentiary namely Kaliti.
How ironic! That Lishan Akuma is on the verge of loosing her freedom for people like Hailu Shawl a useless dictator who is hiding in a lavish hotel and a mansion in Minnesota. Yet, the merciful GOD has given us leaders with character such as Bertukan simply Lady Liberty!
Readers Be Ware!
The fact that the head of Kinijit delegation Vice President Bertukan Mideksa and Gizachew Shiferraw decided to interrupt their hectic schedule and decided to attend Lishan Akuma’s court proceeding indicates:
a)These are true leaders who understand and appreciate the Diaspora movement and the sacrifices paid by millions.
b)These are leaders who are willing to sacrifice it all, to show their solidarity and leadership quality with Diaspora movement.
c)These are visionary leaders who believe in selfless principle “All For One-One For All”
With God’s help, I predate during today’s court proceeding Lishan Akuma’s will be free of all charges. Despite the outcome of the court proceeding, we should never forget Dictator Hailu Shawl who didn’t even dare to make a phone call to Lishan Akuma to extend his wish or comfort, let alone appearing in court to show his solidarity as leader.
Lets Us Pray!
We shall pray and extend our wish for a speedy recover for Professor Mesfin Woldemariam. One of the founding fathers of Kinijit Political party and father of the nation!
Ayzosh Hagere Ethiopia!!!
