		Tigreans in Switzerland overwhelmed Mele’s “yes men” who confessed that Audit Commission’s decisions are correct, Constitution broken
		Tigreans in Switzerland overwhelmed Meles’s "yes men!" Cadres confessed Audit Commission’s decisions are correct, and Meles Zenawi broke the Constitution of the TPLF!
		Tigreans in Switzerland made remarkable history and showed their firm and unwavering stand against Mele’s Bonapartism.

	EthnoMed: Tigrean Cultural Profile
		The Tigreans in Seattle have started to understand the local culture and are trying to make the best out of it for themselves and their children in the US.
		Most Tigreans understand what modern medicine has to offer to them, but that doesn't mean there are no traditional healers who perform minor surgeries such as tonsillectomy and uvulotomy and drainage of abscesses using a special vacuum creating local made surgical instruments called "Mahgoma" in Tigrinya.
		The Tigrean population in Seattle could exceed the 2,000 mark and is growing rapidly mainly due to migration from other states and newborn babies.

	Deceived or Betrayed by TPLF?
		Tigreans also constitute a sizable part of the prisoners of conscience in the country as thousands serve in notorious prison cells for almost a decade without appearing in the court of law.
		To add insult to injury, Tigreans in Axum, Maichew, Sheraro and Zalambesa are forced to support a so-called peace plan that literally gives away their ancestral land to Eritrea and urges a normalization with the Eritrean regime, which was the architect of the Ayder School massacre, where innocent children were slaughtered by Napal bombs.
		However, Tigreans cannot sit and wait to breathe the air of freedom while the country is in the iron-grip of a Prime Minister who has committed himself to defend an enemy, i.e.

	A Historical Explanation as to Why Members & Supporters of the TPLF are Ethnocentric
		The Tigrean ruling class submitted to the Amhara emperors or the enderasses of Ethiopia (regents) whether they were Oromo or Amhara, and expressed their allegiance to them whenever they (the Tigreans) were weaker.
		Tigrean leaders and warlords who disdained the Amhara ruling class, in particular, and the Amhara, in general, are likely to influence their children including some of the important leaders of the TPLF with their negative attitude towards this class and ethnic group.
		Another reason why the Tigrean elite resent the Amhara is they see them as obstacle to the consolidation of Tigrean power since they are afraid of the greatness in number of the Amhara, their seasoned experience for 700 years in warfare, diplomacy, the political arena and bureaucracy.

		Sources say although the constitution stipulates a multiparty system, the ruling party leaders led by Sebhat Nega and Abay Tsehaye are busy preaching to their supporters/cadres that Tigreans are one and the same and no alternative party to TPLF is needed in Tigray.
		Many observers say this new development is a major breakthrough for Ethiopians in general and Tigreans in particular who have been yearning for a formidable alternative party for years.
		Sources say an overwhelming majority of Tigreans are enthusiastic by this development and hope the NEB approves their application soon.

	A Call for A Good Fight
		The fact that they are not ready to work co- operatively with the ruling party in a spirit of mutual respect to improve the living condition of our people is another sign that they are not interested in the democratic process as long as it does not give them complete power.
		The only plausible reasoning for this contradiction is that, if unity is one of the main components of their program and attacking one ethnic group is their strategy, then, in reality their true and actual program is the strategy and the so called unity in their program is there for strategic purpose only.
		They are telling, incessantly, the Ethiopian people that it is the Tigreans that are usurping the political power and defrauding the country causing the misery of the people.

		When the Tigreans said Asha Hamasien (gullible Hamasien), they didn't mean just someone from the Hamasien land per se, but they meant all Eritreans; because to the Tigreans, all Eritreans, especially all Highlanders, have always been Hamasien.
		You bet there is. Never mind of the Tigreans south of the border, beware of the Tigreans within, because this time, it is the Tigreans within.
		Tigrean Eritreans should not be harassed or persecuted before and after the downfall the Issayas regime, because that would not be the nature of those who advocate for justice.

		For example, she alleges that the Tigreans had received 30.6% of the capital expenditure, 49.4% of federal subsidies and 16.1% of foreign loans and aid, compared with, for example, the share by the Oromos of capital expenditure (13.5%), federal subsidies (27.4%) and foreign loans and aid (6.9%).
		But it is hard to accept an allegation that per capita government resource allocation for Tigreans (6% of the Ethiopian population) is two to three times greater than for Oromos (32% of the population).
		For example, Tigrean students were over represented (26.6%) in comparison with Oromos (20.8%), given that Tigreans were less in number in Addis Ababa (7.6%) (see footnote 51 for source) and in the general population (6%).

	EthnoMed: Tigrinya Hepatitis Cultural Profile
		For Tigreans, it is very difficult to understand hepatitis within the frame of asymptomatic disease or a carrier state.
		In Ethiopia, even when western medicine is available, many Tigreans prefer to go to their traditional healers since western medicine does not treat hepatitis.
		In the United States, traditional medicine is unavailable due to the lack of the specific roots and herbs that are in the medicines and the lack of traditional healers.

	VIEWS AND VISIONS ON THE PRESENT POLITICAL TURMOIL OF ETHIOPIA ON THE PRESENT AUTOCRATIC REGIME OF ...
		Is there any Tigrean public figure from within or abroad who could defend the national interest and the people apart from the robots like Ambaye Mesfin and the hybrids of the Eritrean origin who are presently found being placed in most of the Ethiopian diplomatic mission abroad and within the country.
		Tigreans are denied the fruits of their struggle and their historical achievements are systematically removed or deliberately ignored so that any tracing may not remain to transfer to young generation.
		From all other time it is now the most challenging time for the Tigreans to prove and show the wisdom of their forefathers in sustaining their basic rights and at the same time cooperating with rest of Ethiopians in defending as far as national sovereignty and territorial integrity is concerned.

	Ethnic Politics and the Cracks in the Dry Ground of the TPLF
		Even if the Amhara, the Tigrean, and the Oromo belong to the same wealthy class, none of them is entitled to speak in the name of their common class interest.
		The Tigrean elite introduces the Eritrean issue each time it needs to grant or contest Ethiopianness, and this particularly fits an anti-Meles discourse because of Meles’s alleged soft stand against Eritrea before, during, and after the war as well as of the nasty and arrogant things he said about Ethiopia when the TPLF seized power.
		What matters is not that the state claims to be Oromo, Tigrean, or Amhara, or their federation, but that it functions on the basis of universal rights, including those rights that individuals claim as a result of belonging to particular ethnic groups.

		Tigreans would need to stand on the sides of their Ethiopian brothers and sistersas,as they normally do, at this critical time.
		It should be very clear to those Tigreans who support EPRDF that it is their right to do so, but shouldn't be trying to impose it on the rest of the people of Ethiopia.

		Having said that, I also plead to Tigreans to take a hard look at what is being done in their name.
		Prime Minister Meles and his crew certainly believe they fall back on Tigray and Tigreans anytime they want, because they are their ‘golden sons’.
		Tigreans, we need to hear from you, condemning these barbaric acts, as much as we heard your “supporting resolutions” and flowery admiration for EPRDF and its government.

		The Tigreans are still living in the original location of ancient Axum while their semetic brothers the Amharas, Harari and Gurage can be found in various parts of Ethiopia.
		The Tigreans resemble the other semetic tribes in feature and their culture is closely related with the Amhara tribe.
		Especially for the Tigreans and the Amharas the church is the integral part of their culture.

		But the Tigreans had operated under the assumption that an independent Eritrea was the only true path to peace in the region.
		But the Tigreans, as people who lived on land that is the cradle of Ethiopian civilization (which dates back to 3,000 years of recorded history) had always thought of themselves Ethiopian despite fighting Mengistu under the banner of the Tigrean People's Liberation Front.
		One undeniable fact, though, is that as close as Eritreans and Tigreans have been at certain periods of their history, there has also always been a certain tension among some members of their population.

		Under his eyes the Tigreans were pushing forward among the euphorbias and olive trees, threatening to cut off the Italians from Coatit.
		On the extreme north they had made their way through a hidden ravine to the church where the Italian wounded lay, but even here they were repulsed by Lt. Virdia, the doctor in charge, who armed his orderlies, mule-drivers, and slightly wounded men, and defended the cemetery wall.
		One thing was certain: the Tigrean losses had been heavier and, as was usually the case, the drawn battle was virtually a victory for the regular troops, who had greater powers of endurance and recuperation.

	Fisseha-Tsion Menghistu, Rethinking the Continuing Insanity of Ethiopian Politics
		It can also be equally argued that not all Tigreans support TPLF and it is not right on our part to suspect that every Tigrean is supporter of TPLF and that every Eritrean is a secessionist.
		In the past individuals from the Amhara and other ethnic groups used to try to join their Tigreans or Oromos when their respective traditional dances were being played.
		We have advocated for no less than 25 years of our lives that in a country full of diversity such as ours, and where the diversity is part of being Ethiopian, ethnic politics is as dangerous as racism and fascism, none of which should have any place in our society.

	The TDA (Tigray Development Association) meeting in Seattle was concluded fruitfully
		Ambassador Tewolde told the audience, that TDA’s accomplishments in the education and health sector of Tigray is significant and that he is proud of the people of Seattle, Portland and Vancouver areas for taking part in the process of relieving the miseries our people face in their daily life.
		The Tigreans attending the meeting have contributed and pledged a total amount of $27,700.00 (twenty seven thousand seven hundred dollars) that will be financed to the project that will be chosen to be undertaken in the next meeting.
		They have also now confirmed that they are united more than ever to rejuvenate their TDA branch and double their energy to engage in not only tackling the enemies of the people of Tigray, poverty, illiteracy, maladies and peace adversaries, but also to get rid of them once and for all.

		We understand in this group is few Tigreans who genuinely are concerned about the situation, but sadly they seem to continue to be stoogies of those melancholics (the authors of that statement) who are ignorant of the maltitude at play.
		Notwithstanding, the clear wishes of Ethiopians in general and Tigreans in particular, however the traitors aided and abetted by their reactionary supplicants continue to fling filth in the direction of the prime minister.
		Nevertheless, while the vast majority of Tigreans are grimly dissatisfied by their (G-10) actions, most are not yet willing to see them leave the organization, neither do we.

		The other speakers, Ato Kahsay Tefesse and Ato Bisrat Amare, said that Tigreans must prepare themselves for an impending attack by CUD and UEDF. Ato Bisrat Amare called those who died on June 8, "hooligans who deserved to be killed."
		The meeting was boycotted by the large Tigrean community.
		There were only 34 individuals who were present at the meeting in Marriott Hotel, among whom about 7 protested the hateful remarks by the speakers who were advocating violence against CUD and UEDF members.

	FEB 97 Editorial (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-24)
		All individuals are supposed to have an equal opportunity to build their homes, yet members of this favored group enjoy preferential access to funds from the state-owned banks and to domestic and imported building materials from the newly created TPLFs monopolistic distribution companies and can build their houses in a short period.
		Swarmed by internal refugees and migrant Tigreans and Eritreans, deprived of development funds, and treated as a temporary administrative post for an occupation force, the city of Addis Ababa is no longer the abeba it once was.
		The near absence of Tigrean opposition to the regime, especially from those who had opposed the previous regimes, is partly attributable to the disproportional material benefits that the Tigreans have been enjoying since the TPLF came to power.

		As I indicated on my article on Amhara contributions to Ethiopian civilization, the Amhara are the offshoots of the Tigreans, for they originated from Tigrai with their Emperor Dil Ne'ad, the last Aksumite emperor.
		They returned often to Aksum to be coronated in accordance with the tradition of their ancestors, the Tigrean emperors.
		What is more, in the same way as their Tigreans ancestors, the Amhara used Ge'ez as the language of their literature and liturgy.

		When they declared the boycott to their followers, they asked to boycott only the activist cadres and the individuals who do crime against their supporters irrespective of their ethnicity (this is on documents and you can read it for yourselves and judge).
		Although there are some none Tigreans who are also responsible, most of the authorities who made the life and death decisions are Tigreans, particularly Meles Zenawi and Sebhat Nega.
		Sadly people don’t know that the millions of Tigreans are still suffering in poverty and without any democracy and have not benefited a cent from the TPLF.

		We are also told two houses belonging to ethnic Tigreans were burnt down during the riots.

		It sad to see EPRDF sink to this level and distribute papers calling others to rise up against Tigreans to make Tigreans feel insecure so that they could rally behind a failing tyrant.
		As a matter of fact almost all prominent Tigreans and organizations have called the people of Tigrean to vote for the opposition and reject Meles.
		It is regrettable the opposition did not succeed breaking a Stalinist system of Meles in Tigray on this election but it comforting to know that many brave Tigreans have risked everything by representing CUD and UEDF.
