Fund raising for TPDM!

Postby amantu » 28 Mar 2012, 11:32


Folks,

Two years ago, Eritreans in North America donated thousands dollars worth of medical supplies to TPDM. They deserved it. And we should do the same thing this year for this powerful organization led by a young charismatic Ethiopian comrade Mola.

Amantu,

Mola is a brave Ethiopian. I met him in person and had a long conversation with him. But unfortunately, he is currently Col. Fitsum's hostage. He cannot leave any where without the permission of Col. Fitusm. He cannot even leave Eritrea to travel overseas. The money that will be collected for TPDM will be pocketed by Col. Fitsum. If Eritrean government is serious about supporting Ethiopian opposition groups, stop Col. Fitsum from using them as his personal piggy bank and free the leaders to travel freely. I believe it is important for Ethiopian opposition groups to work together with the Eritrean government, but not in a master-servant arrangement. This only creates resentment, suspicion, and animosity. It seems what the Eritrean government wants is the type of relation the Woyanne junta has with OPDO and other puppet groups.

Amantu caught red-handed fabricating stories. Thanks, elias, for exposing this dimwit shabo. Stop betting on a loser; the shabo regime is bad news to anyone who associate with it. :mrgreen:

Bravo TPDM. TPDM is action oriented and I think it is a good idea to donate more money and supply.

Elias,

If what you stated is true, I do agree with you that the relationship should not be like a slave-master between Ethiopian Opposition groups and the Eritrean government. As a matter fact, the Eritrean government, except assisting logistically, morally and militarily, should refrain from trying to control all Ethiopian opposition organizations.

Elias, Can you tell us more about Mola though. I did also met him in Expo but it was for a minutes.

ፈሶ- Do you heard what Ato Elias said or do you need an @game translator? Let me explain to you in simple Amahric- yetem fichew duqetun amchew. Since you don't read Amharic I have tried my best to help you out.
If Pfl is honest and if he really wants to help the Ethiopian opposition groups from the bottom of his heart, I am with him but if he is playing games like Elias said he is not better than the rest of African tyrants.
Remember one more thing, a great man respected by most of Africans said one time[quote]"our attitude toward any country is determined by the attitude of that country to our struggle. That makes for some un seemly bed follow "
Nelson Mandela
I hope you don't need a translator.

Henok,

I am not sure if you are new to this forum, but my stand on TPDM is crystal clear. I do support TPDM wholeheartdly. I pay a monthly dues. I participate in all its meetings and fund raising events. I strongly believe that TPDM will crush Weyane. Ten years ago, I put all my chips on TPDM and I am glad I did that. Meeting Commrade Mola is not hard. He roams the street of Asmara and other part of Eritrea just like any other ordinary people. I did meet him in Expo but it was for a brief moment. If you stayed long enough on this forum, I will post several pictures about TPDM in the near future. I will be visiting TPDM fighters soon.

Amantu,

Molla became TPDM's chairman after Col. Fitsum killed the well-liked and respected TPDM leader Fisseha. Molla, like Fisseha, is a former disgruntled member of TPLF. He left TPLF after Meles surrounded himself with Adwans and marginalized other Tigreans. He is under the watchful eye of Col. Fistum, cannot travel abroad, and TPDM fighters are not allowed to conduct any type of military operation against Woyanne. Col. Fistum killed Fisseha because he wouldn't become his puppet. After killing him, he reported to his superiors that some deranged Eritrean officer assassinated him. The alleged killer then disappeared without a trace. There was no trial. Col. Tadesse Muluneh, founder of EPPF, barely escaped from being assassinated. After Fitsum having his troops shot at Tadesse's car once, he detained him for 4 days before Tadesse's friends in Asmara intervened and saved him. This happened while Tadesse was still chairman of EPPF. We have yet to hear from the GoE why Fitsum arrested Col. Abebe Geresu, a founding and executive committee member of Tinsae Ethiopia.

Elias,

I don't understand how a junior military officer can take matters in to his own hands and murder a powerful leader of a powerful organization. It is true that Fisahaye was murdered but there are too many facts/theories who could be behind his murder. I don't believe this junior cornel can act on his own to do anything much less to asassinate a leader. If the allegation is true, It must have came from the higher echelon. I will try to learn and understand more about it all once I get there.
