- What Does Democratization of 'Ethiopia' Mean? By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Democratic rule within the context of a nation signifies national sovereignty; exercising sovereignty implies national independence, and rejection of hegemony - Oromo Struggle for National Independence and the Threat of Tribalism By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Both localism and tribalism are normal expressions of one's quest for one's own identity. And they must precisely remain as such. - The Search for Oromo Leadership By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
And so, my fellow Oromos, ask not who will be your leader in the struggle for Independence; ask yourselves how you will be the leader in the struggle for Independence. - Afars – National Independence through Common Struggle with Ogadenis, Oromos, and Sidamas By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The Afars have been subject to a trichotomy as they have been partitioned among Abyssinia, Djibouti and Eritrea. In front of this dire situation, the Afars have to rely only on themselves; the same is equally valid for all the other oppressed nations, and the multi-divided Somalis. Promises from the part of colonial delegates and tyrannical rulers proved to be false and malignant. - Huda Barkhad, Her Homosexual Friends, and the Rise of Islamic Terrorism in Pseudo-State Somaliland By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The truculent and malignant persona of the otherwise coarse and analphabetic first mistress of Somaliland contributed greatly in radicalizing Muslims from Northern Somalia. Some of them have recently resumed contacts with Al Qaeda elements in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, demanding support in the fracas they promise to deliver to the renegade state’s tyrannical rulers. - Oromos – A Time for Thought By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
It has been very clear for some time that the Oromo leadership failed to justify the great expectations of the Oromo Nation for freedom, independence, and definite, irrevocable secession from the genuinely anti-Oromo, colonial state of Abyssinia. - Afars – A Time for Focus By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Worse than Hitler's Germany, 'Ethiopia' has been the tomb of the Afars too. The Afars are a great Kushitic nation that delivered tremendously for thousands of years in Eastern Africa, particularly in the Islamic Times; the southern Afars are also known as Adal. Who knows not the Great Afar kingdom that united most of Eastern African territory in the 14th and the 15th centuries? The Afars have faced the evil Amhara hatred for more than a century. - Ogaden – A Time for Fight By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
At a critical moment for the History of Ogaden, the Fourth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF), held from 22 July to 30 July 2008, was an excellent opportunity for reassessment and re-launch of the national struggle for Ogaden's liberation. - Somalia - A Time for Thanks By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
I must underscore here how much I loved reading the poetical and ardent, noble and starlike literature so many Somali patriots have magnificently produced over the last years on the web. There are few in the world like them. - A Shipwreck Named 'Somaliland' By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
It is surely understandable that Rayale does not plan to escape to Abyssinia, as he expects the murderous gangster Zenawi to be willing to assassinate him because Rayale did do ‘correctly’ his job. - Somalia, Breakaway 'Somaliland', and the Contentious Senlis Council Report By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Few Somalis can suspect the enduring, vicious hatred of the English colonials against their country so that they be in a position to measure the English anti-Somali hysteria triggered by several characteristics, attitudes, mindsets and potentials of the Somali Nation and rekindled more particularly at certain moments by excellent political choices and demarches taken by Somali statesmen and politicians. - Open Letter to H. E. Mr. Gurjit Singh, Ambassador of India in Abyssinia (Fake 'Ethiopia') By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
India's real interest is to promote in Africa the best possible image of the country of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore. - Germany to UN Security Council: Failed Somaliland is a Threat against the Mankind By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Somaliland does not have borders; its porous ‘border’ lines are at the mercy of Al Qaeda that has formed undetected bases on Somaliland’s ‘territory’. The forthcoming months will be critical, as the terrorist organization has vowed to make of the separate, uncontrolled territory its basis for grave hits inside Abyssinia (fallaciously called ‘Ethiopia’). - One more of God's coups necessary in Zimbabwe By : Kipkoech Tanui
Mugabe's modus operandi dovetails with Western view of Africa as the Dark Continent, the modern 'mere geographical expression'. He fits the picture of Africa's drowning class of tin gods, preaching God's power of omniscience and omnipresence. - Britain has played role in woes Zimbabwe faces By : James N. Kariuki
The current Zimbabwe crisis is a crime against humanity; it should not be happening in the 21st century. Yet, it may be feeble-minded to believe that the country's woes are due to one 'madman', Robert Mugabe. Britain may be just as implicated in the disaster as Mugabe. - Of Julius Nyerere, African Politics and myself By : Ali A. Mazrui
When he was President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Julius K Nyerere's vision was bigger than his victories, his perception was deeper than his performance. In global terms, he was one of the giants of the 20th century. And like all giants, he had both great insights and great blind spots. While his vision did indeed outpace his victories, and his profundity outweigh his performance, he did bestride this narrow world like an African colossus. - Debate with a Somali Critic and Supporter By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Criticism brings every author in front of a mirror, and I have been used to take constructive criticism, as I consider it as an opportunity to re-examine the validity of my arguments and the veracity of my interpretation and analysis. - The Days, the Hours, and the Moments of Somalia By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
In politics there are no good and bad agreements or treaties; there are only signed pieces of paper that astute leadership turns to their benefit and other signed pieces of paper that finally turn against those who were expected to benefit the most. Thanks to posterior political maneuvers, diplomats can totally change the nature of a signed paper. - Total Demolition of 'Ethiopia' with the Sidamas Engaged in the Path for Independence By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
‘Ethiopia’ does not exist anymore; it is a dead corpse that has burst and it’s over. The end of the Zenawi regime will be the End of the ‘Ethiopian’ pestilence that consists in the African History’s bleakest page. - Kabylia in the Path of Autonomy: the Best Ally for Oromos, Sidamas and Ogadenis By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Republishing the Proposition of Kabylia Autonomy Project (KAP) elaborated by MAK (:Movement for the Autonomy of Kabylia or - in Amazigh - Timanit I Tmurt N Yeqvayliyen), I believe I offer all the aforementioned nations an excellent text that can help them prepare their own drafts and be thus solemnly engaged in the Path of National Independence. Through this document, the Eastern African Kushites will discover what links them to the Berbers. - ARS and the Future of Somalia – What to Do? By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Somalia can be re-liberated fast and steadfastly; but it will take a deep conviction that ARS, instead of simply ‘replying’ to developments, will be able to trigger the events that will open the way until the elections for Constituent Assembly. - Isaaq Somalis, ARS, Oromos, and the Impending Demise of the Pseudo-State ‘Somaliland’ By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
For many various reasons, after many years of tergiversations, Somaliland failed. The advanced indexation of the totalitarian, and at the same time weak and inexperienced, administration of Somaliland to the priorities of the Anti-Somali, racist Abyssinian tyranny is again only one of the reasons of failure. - The ARS Meeting in Asmara and the Voice of Profound Somalia By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
As the two factions of ARS hold separate meetings, a shadow of doubt has been cast over the destiny of the recently signed between ARS (former?) Chairman Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed and the TFG Prime Minister. Out of the overall confusion, one new element has drawn the attention of international observers, namely the reference made by the Acting Chairman of the Alliance, Dr. Zekaria Mahmoud Abdi, that “over 95% of Somali territory is now under the full control of the ARS fighters”. - 'Stars' were overnight billionaires in Harare By : Gilbert Wandera
Zimbabwe continues making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Mugabe's iron fist and anti-donor policies have left Zimbabwe's economy in tatters, with poverty, unemployment and political strife increasing by the day. - Mugabe is an embarrassment to AU and UN By : Jerry Okungu
This despot must be removed by force if necessary to stop him from further annihilating his country, his record as a freedom fighter notwithstanding. Zimbabweans did not fight for freedom only to be massacred by one of their own! Because of the shame of what is going in Zimbabwe, the AU and the UN stand condemned in the court of world public opinion. - Liberate the Shekacho Nation from the Abyssinian Tyranny – Stop the Shekacho Genocide Now! By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Shekachos and Kaffas have been the victims of a most appalling Genocide that was covered by the silence of the Western accomplices of the Abyssinian gangsters, the colonial Anglo-French mass media. - There is No Such Thing as a United Somaliland By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Nothing can however portray Somaliland better than the words said by Ahmed Mohammed Adan, a Somali diplomat and statesman, who himself hails from the former British Somaliland but is not a member of the Isaaq clan (where the ruling elite belongs, although despised and rejected by the majority of the tribe members). - Open Letter to Dr. Zakariya Mahmud Haji Abdi on Somalia’s Future and ARS Unity in Diversity By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The ongoing meetings between ARS and the TFG in Nairobi will predestine the shape of many issues. Shortage of food and humanitarian disaster has become top priority in the daily life throughout Somalia. The deployment of UN peacekeepers should now be the focus of the efforts of all Somali political leaders. These three points are reasons for ARS to remain united so that you be able to influence the Somali political life in a way that will better guarantee the interests of the Somali people. - The world must treat Mugabe and Zenawi on equal terms By : Abdulahi Ahmednassir
Regimes like that Mugabe and Zenawi are vile in many aspects. Mugabe is rightly detested by the world. The atrocities he had committed have been condemned universally and are challenged daily. His suffocating grip over the country is loosening and his imminent demise proclaimed. Africa must rise to the occasion and demand that Zimbabwe holds free and fair elections. Zenawi must also be treated like Mugabe, his temporal assignments for Washington notwithstanding. - Somalia – What Options for Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, ARS and all the rest? By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Never ever in the World History did a country hate, plan the destruction of its neighbor, and perpetrated so criminal deeds in an invaded territory as Abyssinia against Somalia. - Somaliland Crumbling: Africa's Most Appalling Shame About to End By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Somaliland has no history and no historicity; there is no nation called 'Somaliland' and it will never exist. All the inhabitants of the territory are Somalis similar to all the rest. - The Somaliland Shame Crumples as All Local Somalis Join ASSC-S By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
One of these patriotic Somali organizations is meaningfully called "Awdal, Sool and Sanaag Coalition Against Secession". They are currently mobilizing their forces to help fast desintegrate the pseudo-state of pestilence, "Somaliland". - Somalia – Another Division or the Beginning of the Re-unification? By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Sheikh Aweys wants to say ‘thanks’ to Eritrea; but he cannot say ‘thanks’ to another country by damaging his own. The price is too high and the attempt is too contemptuous. - Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, ARS, Eritrea, and the Somalis of the Center By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Without realizing it, President Afeworki of Eritrea with his interference in the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia and with his effort to pull some of its members to politically extreme and practically unrealistic positions, makes of Sheikh Sharif the only occupant of the Center of the Somali political life. - Somaliland Plunged in the Most Adverse Chaos By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
No one can be based on disparate elements that have the tendency to over-magnify particularities and individualisms. This was inevitable in the case of Somaliland. It would be the same in any purposelessly seceded part of a nation. - Islamic Extremism in Somalia: due to TFG ‘President’, Neo-Nazi Abyssinian Death Squads By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The US and the UN have to realize that the key to success in every pacification project in the Horn of Africa area is the elimination of ‘Ethiopia’ from the picture. - Eliminate the Red Sea Hitler – Somaliland's Gangster Riyale By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
This is all 'Somaliland' is: an Abyssinian fabrication geared to contribute to Somalia's division, a Neo-Nazi plan of Somali Genocide and Abyssinian racist supremacy. - ARS - the Liberal Somalis of the Political Center By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The solution to all problems of Eastern Africa starts from Somalia. And the resolution of all the troubles of Somalia begins with the Somali Political Center, the liberal and democratic Somalis who are committed to offer their Noble Fatherland a leading position among the African nations. These are the leaders of the ARS, the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia. - Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, the Only Credible Somali Interlocutor for UN, US and Europe By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
In fact, for those who have an insightful into the Horn of Africa politics, when talking about the entire Somali Nation, the leader of the ARS (Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia), Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed represents the Somali Political Center. - Unknown Viewpoints on Sacred, Undividable Somalia By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
For Mr. Israel Cohen’s interpretational effort of Sacred Geography, Somalia “had been the left leg on an anthropomorphic map of Aphrodite, seen in left-profile with her head at Morocco and her waist at Misr/Egypt”. - Human Rights Watch on Human Rights Crisis in Somalia By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
A few days ago, on March 31, the leading international NGO Human Rights Watch issued a Press Release - Statement for the "Arria formula" meeting on Somalia (http://hrw.org/english/docs/2008/03/31/somali18408.htm). The valuable and impartial document has been composed by Georgette Gagnon, Director of the Africa Division of Human Rights Watch, who first examined the regional factors, before describing patterns of violations of Human Rights, and ending up with suggestions and recommendations. - OLF and Oromos demand Western disapproval of the Abysso-Nazi Tyrant Zenawi By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Categorically denouncing the 'Ethiopian' involvement in Somalia and the Anti-Eritrean animosity of the Zenawi regime, the OLF leaders held 'Ethiopia' as the basic factor of destabilization of the Horn of Africa region. They called therefore upon the Western countries’ commitment to Human Rights, Democracy and Justice, demanding the immediate denunciation, containment and intimidation of the heinous, racist, and murderous Abyssinian regime. - Terminated Yugoslavia – Exploding 'Ethiopia' By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The dismemberment of fake 'Ethiopia' could be much faster than the decomposition of Yugoslavia, so much rejected by all the oppressed nations the Abyssinians are. - Ogaden: the Imminent Victory of Abyssinia’s Tyrannized Somalis By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Over the past weeks, the ONLF marked several strategic successes in Ogaden, and these recent victories come as justification of their Just and Noble National Struggle. A smile of Hope appears on the dry, bitter lips of the Ogadenis. - Ogaden – the African Kosovo ready for Independence By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The US administration had the opportunity to appreciate the warm feelings of the Muslim Kosovars, when the US sided with the Right. This may also happen in Ogaden. The best African basis for America will certainly be located in the liberated Ogaden. - Why Somalis, Ogadenis, Oromos, and Sidamas need the Anuak By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
It is now my turn to ask – along with Mr. Obang O. Metho – “When Ogadenis are being massacred, why are not other Ethiopians coming out to publicly protest or cry with them”? - An Advice for Revolutionary Sidamas By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Exploiting their own natural resources, bringing development and technological advance to them, and cultivating their own national identity, history, culture, and language, small nations are best suited for just, impartial, balanced, rational, and sustainable development. - British land agreements in Kenya and Zimbabwe with locals a mockery By : James N. Kariuki
Land issue has been at the core of Zimbabwe’s political woes. Smith was deeply committed to a constituency of white farmers, which was historically favoured by allocation of the country’s fertile land to a 275,000-strong white minority. The remaining half of the land belonged to five million Blacks. This was the political reality that set the stage for the political rise of Mugabe. Since Rhodesia was a British colony, was Mugabe ultimately a British creation? - An Advice for Revolutionary Oromos By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The missing point, which will prove to be key to success in the revolutionary process and the noble path of Independence, has one name: Interconnection. Interconnection among oppressed and tyrannized peoples throughout Africa and the entire world. Certainly, interconnection presupposes study, contacts, knowledge, information, and establishment of parallels. - 1938 – 2008: China invaded by Iapan, Ogaden annexed by Abyssinia By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Only the people of Ogaden has the right to exploit the natural resources of Ogaden, and the only legitimate interlocutors are in this regard the ONLF, and the OHRC. It is essential for the Chinese leaders to assess the real nature of the Tigray Abyssinian tyranny and the astounding degree of its unrepresentativeness. First, the Ogaden people was never asked, as the Open Letter emphatically points out, about their annexation to Abyssinia. - Open Letter to Condoleezza Rice on the East African Crisis By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
One has definitely to use the Founding Fathers’ ideals and principles as compass in this Search for Democracy, Freedom and Human Rights in the Horn of Africa region - to the absolute detriment and despair of the Abyssinian totalitarian racists. - UN Security Council Reform: Veto Right for South Africa and the Black Continent By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Our suggestions end here, and we are definitely convinced that a UN Security Council with 13 permanent members, namely USA, China, Japan, India, Germany, France, England, Italy, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, and South Africa, represents our multifaceted world in a far better way than the 5-member 1945 ‘war college’. - Dangerous 'Ethiopia', not Anodyne Somalia, is Africa's Most Failed State By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Whereas international scholarship and political analysts evaluate the failed interaction with other states as failure for the invading state, the uncultured and uneducated, barbaric and racist masses and elites of Abyssinia – in total and dangerous contardiction with the rest of the world – consider it as success! - The FIO Pledge for Free Oromia heralds the End of the 'Ethiopian' Tyranny By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
FIO is a great asset as due to its adamant position of non collaboration with the Amhara and Tigray Abyssinian elites of corruption, racism and tyranny it radicalizes the context of the Struggle for Liberation. - Zenawi’s Plan for Somalia: Hallucinations of the Neo-Nazi Amhara / Tigray butchers of Africa By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The extraordinary attitude of Africa’s Saddam Hussein is identical to that of the late Iraqi dictator, who invaded tiny Kuweit only to be driven out by the Americans in the First Gulf War. In the same way the Mesopotamian butcher considered Kuwait as his own province, Meles Zenawi finds himself well positioned to decide about the future of the partly invaded Somalia. - Abyssinian Tyrant Zenawi admits consciously boosting Islamic Terrorism By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
It is clear for Meles Zenawi that the majority of the Somalis categorically reject the presence of Abyssinian army in Southern Somalia, denounce the sectarian, anti-Somali policies of the ruling group of Somaliland, and condemn the inhuman deeds of oppression carried out in occupied Ogaden – a territory that has to become target no 1 of the US African policy, in view of a much demanded UN force deployment and a forthcoming referendum for independence. - South Africa's policy shift on Myanmar justified By : James N. Kariuki
Earlier this year, this column accused post-apartheid South Africa of betraying the aspirations of the entire Third World on the issue of human rights. What was involved? In 2006, SA became a non-permanent member of the powerful UN Security Council. Before the council was a proposition to condemn human rights violations by Myanmar's military junta. In February 2007, SA voted against that resolution on procedural grounds. - Post-conflict reconstruction poses peace talk challenges By : Ndungu Wainaina.
The regional leaders have to bear responsibility to promote protection of respective states' citizens. For this reason, leaders meeting in Nairobi have to pressurise Khartoum government to act more responsibly and protect Darfur population from further suffering. - Politics Makes Strange Bedfellows: Isaias Afeworki Pandering to CUDP? By : Argan Beekan
After extracting his country (Eritrea) from the jaws of Ethiopian colonization after 30 years of liberation struggle, Eritrean president Isaias Afeworki says he strives for unity of the empire he separated from not very long ago. In an interview he gave to Eritrean media on June 10, 2007 and published in “One Ethiopia” magazine, Isaias declared “It is our persistent stance to strive for a united Ethiopia.” - Former Oromo President reveals Key Truth for Oppressed Peoples By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Oromo reconciliation with Amharas and Tigrays is absolutely impossible and genuinely immoral and un-Oromo. - Sidama Leader Kambata Xoola lambastes the Cruel Amhara / Tigray Tyrants By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Following the publication of Sidama National Liberation Organization Chairman Kambata Xoola’s interview, a great interest has been expressed among readers as regards this long tyrannized and most forgotten nation of Abyssinia, the Sidamas. - Kenya Presidential Politics: Mudavadi refuses to fall into the tribal hole By : Okech Kendo
Former V.P. -- Musalia Mudavadi has a message to opportunists dangling conditional tribal support: "We should not undermine democracy by insisting that if one of our own is not the presidential candidate, then we shall move out of the party. - US Horn of Africa Policy: no Alternative to Ogaden’s Liberation By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Support Ogaden’s liberation, and end the illegal Abyssinian Occupation! There is no alternative to this policy. - US African Policy Making to Focus on Ogaden By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The visiting Kinijit Amharas are not to be invited anywhere; perhaps a crash course of Political Science at Harvard would help. Until they graduate, US most urgent interlocutor is the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) and the Ogaden Human Rights Committee (OHRC). - Kenya -- Media Bill: All MPs guilty By : Oluoch Japheth Ogollah
A spade is a spade and never a big spoon. All our members of parliament are individually and severally guilty for the unfortunate passing of the Media Bill. Only twenty-nine members of parliament were in the chambers at the time. Only Njoki Ndungu opposed the bill. Where were the other one hundred and ninety three members of parliament? Were they aware that the bill was in the order paper? Courtesy of their absence, they supported the bill in principle. - Awake Finfinne! The Venerable Emanation of Kush! By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
If Unity is urgently needed among all the Oromos as a first step towards Freedom and Independence, Integrity is the ultimate guarantee of success in the process. - Chaos in Ogaden – Tyrant Zenawi resorts to Genocide, triggering Islamic Radicalism By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The ailing Abyssinian tyranny, unable to maintain its position in Somalia, is about to lose Ogaden where the indigenous non Abyssinian people are at the brink of abyss, living in a nightmarish environment produced by the deterioration of the oppression methods and procedures in that geopolitically critical area. - Odoyo's antics betray his intelligence whenever he talks By : Jeeh Wanjurah
Peter Odoyo is potentially a certified genious. Unfortunately, nature is usually fair in its allocation of available endowments and they are hardly enough. Thus the Nyakach MP, like the rest of us, is forced into sharing. You get this and someone gets that. Rare luck can sometimes give you the perfect combination of beauty and brains. Often though, the two exist in mutual exclusion. In the case of Odoyo, their coexistence status, or even manifest ratio to each other, is ill defined. - How much legitimate is the Government of Abyssinia? By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Voice Finfinne is a significant Oromo portal geared to promote Respect for Human Rights in Abyssinia, and to remind to the rest of the world that the real name of ‘Addis Abeba’ is Finfinne. Voice Finfinne recently published a severe criticism of undemocratic practices followed by the TPLF/EPRDF party. We republish the integral text of that article. - The Complexity of the Abyssinian/Ethiopian Volcano By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Although we disagree with this analysis in various points, we republish and comment it, believing that it illustrates very well both, the political occurrence in Abyssinia and the mindset of several pacifist Oromo intellectuals. - Fake Ethiopian Tyranny collapses: Oromo fronts unified By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
As Meles Zenawi's tribal and useless army faces severe defeats day by day in Somalia, as Ogaden prepares to secede, and as all the oppressed and tyrannized peoples of Abyssinia intensify their struggle for independence, Oromo organizations and political parties, fronts and liberation movements merge in a hope-bringing effort to better fight for the liberation of the long tyrannized nation of the Oromos; the forthcoming collapse of the Amhara and Tigray murderous gangsters seems imminent. - Ogaden, 'Ethiopia,' and the entire Africa at the Brink of Islamist Abyss By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
A while back, through this column we warned every involved party about the possibility of the Horn of Africa and consequently the entire Black Continent turning out to be the next hotbed, and ultimately the greatest success story of the Islamic Terrorism. Unfortunately, we proved to be absolutely correct in our prediction. - The Iniquitous Amhara / Tigray, Abyssinian Anti-Semitism By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Geared mostly to promote tyranny justification and to offer the best theoretical pretext and political venues to the Amhara / Tigray clans of the Abyssinian elite, the dangerous theory – read: aberration – that Abyssinia’s national name can be changed to ‘Ethiopia’ reveals a covert form of real Anti-Semitism. - 'Ethiopia' means Alam-baqqany: The End of Life By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Far from its political ramifications, and beyond the extensive electronic coverage republications and quotations, the bi-partite interview with Aman Kedir Kamsare, Vice Chairman of the Front of Independence of Oromia (FIO), is still a valuable stuff for historical commentary and historico-sociological analysis that better illuminate Western understanding and empathy for the Noble Cause of the long tyrannized Oromos. - Who wants to push Africa to Islamic Terror, using as proxy Abyssinian tyrant Zenawi? By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Insightful into the culture of the Meles Zenawi's regime, this article reveals the danger of supporting tyrants against Islamists; only Freedom and Independence to Abyssinia's tyrannized Oromos, Ogadenis, Afars, and Sidamas can ensure progress in Eastern Africa. - Usurping the name 'Ethiopia', Abyssinia provokes Islamic Terror By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Today, the worst threat for Islamic Terror diffusion in Africa emanates from the tyrannical realm that has been fallaciously named 'Ethiopia'; call it correctly 'Abyssinia' and liberate the oppressed Oromos, Ogadenis, Sidamas, and Afars, and you avert the Islamic bomb of East Africa. - Avert an East African Islamic Terror Volcano – Break down fake 'Ethiopia'! By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
When all the world focuses almost exclusively on Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, Syria and Israel, forgetting at the same time the Darfur Drama, critical developments take place in Somalia and Abyssinia, a country falsely called Ethiopia. The next rendezvous of the Islamic Terror is with Abyssinia. - Pan-Arabism: the inhuman progenitor of Islamic Terrorism By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The deep and hidden reason of the tyrannical oppression practiced throughout the Middle East is the imposition by France and England of pan-Arabic nationalist cliques that intend to dictatorially arabize the various peoples of the Middle East, who are – all – not Arabs. The monstruosity of the cultural deformation of numerous peoples deprived of their identity is such that the \colonial gun' backfired: Islamic Terrorism is the end result of Pan-Arabism. - UN Reform and Languages: Strip Arabic from Undeserved Status By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Whereas many discussions have focused so far on the UN SC permanent membership extension, little has been said about the six languages that the international body has had a means of international communication for no less than 60 years. - Freedom for the Oromos and Great Perspectives for the Horn of Africa area By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Can Eastern African peoples finally find a short way to Democracy, Human Rights, Multiculturalism, and Historical Authentic Identity? What could ensue from the establishment of post-colonial, liberal, democratic administrations in all that large part of Africa that stretches in the south of Egypt and in the north of South Africa? - The Eastern Coast of 'The Other Berberia' (Ancient Somaliland) in to the 'Periplus of the Red Sea' By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Completing the series of articles on the excerpts of the 'Periplus of the Red Sea' that bear evidence to the ‘Other Berberia,' a country that before 2000 years was found within almost the same borders as present day Somaliland, we will focus on the eastern coasts of the land. - Malao - Berbera as possible Capital of 'The Other Berberia' (Ancient Somaliland) By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The 8th chapter of the Periplus of the Red Sea is focused on Malao, a port of call that has been identified with the modern harbour of Berbera. Through the lines of the text, we realize that there was the capital of the Kingdom of the Other Berberia. - Somaliland – 'The Other Berberia' according to 'the Periplus of the Red Sea' (Part I) By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
As continuation of a previous article, we will go through the excerpts of the Periplus of the Red Sea that concern the area of ‘the Other Berberia’ that almost 2000 years ago was delineated within the present borders of Somaliland. - Somaliland's historicity and the Periplus of the Red Sea By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Underlining the historicity of modern Somaliland, a young nation that strives for international recognition, the Ancient Greek text ‘Periplus of the Red Sea’ bears witness to an independent country named ‘The Other Berberia’ within precisely the borders of modern Somaliland before almost 2000 years! - Oromo Leader Kamsare to UN: Ostracize Abyssinia's Rogue Thug Zenawi By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Having spent many long years in the inhuman Abyssinian prisons, Oromo leader Aman Kamsare calls for Free Oromia, Humanism, Democracy, Freedom, and Human Rights' Respect in one of the world's most sensitive, strategic areas. - Oromo Leader Aman Kamsare lambastes Abyssinian tyrant Meles Zenawi By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
As the Horn of Africa situation deteriorates and is about to become an Islamic Terror avalanche from Somalia to Mauritania, we find necessary to offer space to Oromo political leaders, who are the only guarantee for the West in the explosive volcano Abyssinia. - Good Old America at her finest when it comes to order and discipline at state funerals By : Jerry Okungu
In contrast to the carnival nature of party conventions, American funerals are the most solemn funerals on earth. Somehow in Kenya, funerals attended by politicians become a free-for-all affair and a contest between the clergy, Members of Parliament and local councillors. In such funerals, God help you if you have a local area councilor as the master of ceremonies to guide the programme. - Emerging Tribal Arithmetic & Ethnic Voting Pattern: Will it propel ODM to power ..... By : Jerry Okungu
The ODM line up represents Kikuyus, Luos, Maragolis, Embus, Kambas, Samias, cosmopolitan Coast and Kalenjins. If we stretch our imaginations, we can put Uhuru and Nyagah in the same basket under Gema while we lump together Musalia Mudavadi and Julia Ojiambo under the greater Luhya fraternity. Leaving Balala out for lack of clear tribal identity, we can then assume that the contest for the presidency in the ODM- K will be between Gema, Luos, Luhyas, Kambas and Kalenjins. - Poll violence is rare in the West By : John Mulaa
At any time of year, an election is held somewhere in the world. There is a clear pattern in the conduct of elections and how the outcomes are perceived. In young democracies or countries in transition, elections and their outcomes are often contested violently. In western democracies, this is rarely the case even when election results cause bitter disputes as it happened in 2000 US presidential election contest between the then Vice-President, Al Gore, and Governor George W Bush. - An Open Letter To President Kibaki - Where is "our leg" Mr. President? By : Oluoch Japheth Ogollah
An open letter to H.E. Hon. Mwai Kibaki, President of the Republic of Kenya -- Mr. president, in 2002, Kenyans gave you a mandate to register yourself in the books of history. You can choose to join the league of despots such as Mobuto Sese Seko, Sani Abacha and Robert Mugabe or become another Mandela or Julius Nyerere by giving Kenyans back their leg, their national pride. - Power preservation and capture war marked 2006 By : John Mulaa
Kenya - The major political question of the year that cast a shadow over much else was whether it was necessary to restructure the political system in order to level the playing field or to let stand the present arrangement. - Does the current Kenyan Parliament deserve to exist? By : Jerry Okungu
Kenya's 9th Parliament is a spectacle to behold in more ways than one. It is an institution that defies any logical description. Whichever way you want to look at it, it is a baffle and a mystery from every angle. The problem with Kenya's 9th Parliament is the problem with the current Speaker who, for several years under the Moi regime allowed Kanu to flout parliamentary rules without raising a finger. When other political parties followed suit, he realized he had set a precedent ........ - A politician or a leader? The dilemma facing ODM supporters By : Fred Ambiso
As we approach the 2007 elections and as the election drum beats begin to reverberate across our country, should we not set some time aside and engage in a sober national dialogue about the requisite qualifications of our future president. The performance of the current administration has been found wanting and it is beginning to look possible that ODM-Kenya might provide us with a new head of state come 2007. But the question in every Kenyan’s mind is who might this be? - Kenya Politics in Turmoil By : Jerry Okungu
The year 2006 will go down in Kenya's political history as the year that Kenya killed democracy. It will also be remembered as the year of shame when political thuggery, treachery, deceit and con-manship held sway! For how else can anybody explain the shameful act that embarrassed the whole nation at the East African Community? - Hats off to Hempstone, rogue envoy to the bone By : Emman Omari
Smith Hempstone satirically dubbed the 'nyama choma' ambassador, was a diplomat the Kanu regime would have kicked out of Nairobi to Washington if it had its way. The retired envoy, who died last Sunday in the United States, was once described by former Foreign Affairs minister Ndolo Ayah as a "racist with a slave-owner mentality" when he showed open support for an opposition rally at Kamukunji 16 years ago. - Is the madness of Kenya's political squables spreading into the East African Community By : Jerry Okungu
What started as the usual domestic political wrangling among political parties has now taken new and damaging dimensions that will leave all parties bruised and looking silly in the eyes of East Africans. Kenyans have finally imported their most unwanted product in to the region; political wrangling. - Where are our leaders when Kenyans are hacked to death in our slums & villages? By : Jerry Okungu
What is happening in Kenya today is not only shameful to our country but painful too. While I condemn the silence of our elected leaders, I get this impression that the Mungiki army has grown in leaps and bounds only compared to the Islamic Courts in Somalia. The kind of arrogance and daring with which they extort cash from residents of Mathare with impunity indicates that they have formed a parallel government to that of President Kibaki complete with their own taxation system. - Be careful ODM members: You haven't crossed the river yet! By : Jerry Okungu
Let me give ODM presidential candidates one unsolicited advice. It is one thing to aspire to be president of Kenya and another ball game to win the elections. It is one thing to clamor to be nominated presidential candidate and quite another to conduct a successful campaign and actually win even if one had tones and tones of cash to do it. - The East African Political Federation: This is the time! By : Jerry Okungu
Past experiments with colonial East African Common Services and the post colonial East African Community nurtured more brotherliness than it caused friction amongst us. What destroyed us was petty political ideologies that emanated from outside. These ideologies forced our political leaders to drift apart at our own expense. - Before we hang the Steadman Pollsters, may be there is something they know that Kenyans don't! By : Jerry Okungu
The season of heated political debate is with us again, thanks to the ever controversial Steadman Opinion polls. And one wonders why the very papers that keep on carrying the Steadman results cannot commission more research organizations to carry out the same.
