The organizers of today’s gathering were New York Tri-State Ethiopians to
“wake up” the hibernated Ethiopian
Nationalism, “Ye Hager Fiker”. The guests, Dr. Aklog Birara and
Tamagne Beyene indeed were an excellent choice for the organizers because we
got what we wanted. It was Nationalism and Patriotism from the start to finish.
More than four hours went by with less than 15 minutes break in the middle
another 30 minutes for question and answer. This gathering started with one
minute prayer for martyred Yenesew Gebre,(11-11-11).Some in the crowd wore his
T Shirt and put Yenesew Gebre Badge on their jackets.
The inspiring and civil discussions were spearheaded by the well-respected
economic scholar Dr. Aklog Birara and human rights activist Artist Tamagne
Beyene. The audience was mesmerized by the breathtaking presentations, which
were fully supported by impeccably researched facts and figures, on the current
political repression of the TPLF regime, and the rampant corruption, brazen
ethnic–based discrimination, and ominous years facing the country.
