Berhanu Nega reassures Kinijit supporters
Addis Ababa Mayor-Elect, Dr Berhanu Nega, gave reassurances to Kinijit supporters today that the party will take the necessary steps to get back on the right track.
In a 2-hour interview with the Ethiopian Current Affairs Discussion Forum (ECADF), Dr Berhanu said that his colleagues, members of the Kinijit central council, must start to enforce the party’s rules and procedures in order fix the ongoing leadership crisis and start addressing the real issues affecting the people of Ethiopia, such as the atrocities being committed against our people in the Ogaden region.
Dr Berthanu expressed regret that the crisis inside the Kinijit leadership has completely paralyzed the party to the point that it is not able to even speak out against the rape, torture and killing of fellow Ethiopians in Ogaden.
Many Kinijit supporters expressed concern that the top leadership is allowing anarchy to prevail in the party by hesitating to enforce its decisions and the organization’s basic rules.
Dr Berhanu said that a party that does not respect its own rule cannot be taken seriously by any one. He said, let do what we have to. “Let’s move forward.”
The interview was broadcast live by the Ethiopian Review Radio Network.
We will try to post the recorded audio of the interview shortly.
