Yes, you have the habit of doing that the past 40 years.
Can you do the crying from Asmara for a change?

the possible Amara-Oromo alliance and the possible cooperation of this alliance with the Eritrean government.
WASHINGTON, DC - 17 members of the Ethiopian People's Patriotic Front (EPPF), including a former EPPF secretary general, have been summarily executed and buried in a mass grave in a remote part of Eritrea, according to a report by EPPF fighters who fled to Ethiopia.
The rebels who had sought Eritrean support in their fight against the government of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi were murdered shortly after the end of a general congress held in February 2010 in rural Eritrea. The report couldn't be verified independently.
Those killed were singled out for raising questions like:
* Eritrea should stop using EPPF fighters as slave laborers
* EPPF should be independent of Eritrean control and supervision
* The killers of former EPPF leaders such asTesfaye Getachew should be brought to justice
* EPPF should be allowed to wage the armed struggle in Ethiopia etc.
The report alleged that Eritrean security official Col. Fistum ordered the killings that were carried out by Major Dawit (Eritrean) and EPPF chairman Me'aza Gettu and his driver, Fekade Chere.
The following are those killed and buried in mass graves in Areena, Tesseney, Eritrea:
1. Adane Mekuannent (former EPPF secretary general, who was very much defiant to Eritrean intervention and control of EPPF).
2. Alemu Melkamu
3. Desse Abera
4. Gashaw Babel
5. Melaku Abera
6. Alemseged Tekhest
7. Fekadu Endalew
8. Shumet Sisay
9. Asmare Zewde
10. Getnet Feseha
11. Tekle Gebru
12. Esubalew Hailu
13. Beshaw Dube
14. Yaregal Asmare
15. Mohamed Molla
16. Adem Getahun
17. Fentahun Alemshet
The source said "Major Dawit and Me'aza Gettu and Fekade Chere" were physically involved in the mass murder of the fighters.
Previous reports abound that Ethiopian rebels in Eritrea were subjected to harsh treatments that they look like walking skeletons whether they were working on Eritrean fields or were being held as prisoners before their disappearances.
Once an adherent of Eritrean solidarity for political change in Ethiopia, Elias Kifle, editor of Ethiopian Review, recently wrote that the number of the once promising EPPF had dwindled to an insignificant 70 "most of whom would never return to Eritrea if they were allowed to leave."
Elias, who had joined EPPF some years back, accused Eritrean security officials of "arbitrarily arresting Ethiopians, blocking reform inside the opposition groups, sabotaging their activities so that they stay weak, turning their members against each other, and robbing funds that are being sent to EPPF from its supporters in the Diaspora."
Ethiomedia maintains a long-standing principle that Ethiopia is caught between two enemies: Meles and Isaias. The two leaders - who look like they are sworn enemies to each other - fought for Eritrean independence from what they called "Ethiopian colonialism." Why should they then help armed Ethiopian groups that would eventually restore Ethiopian sovereignty and territorial integrity - of course including the Red Sea Port of Assab?
