kabaja ayyaana saboota, sablammootafi uummattoota Itiyoophiyaa 16ffaa_ ከግንቦት 20 ትሩፋቶች አንዱ ለሆነው ለብሔር ብሔረሰቦች ቀን እንኳን አደረሳችሁ

ህዳር 29 ሲታወስ …ኢትዮጵያ “የአንድ” …. መሆኗ ቀርቶ የብሔር ብሔረሰቦች ሀገር ሆነች። የዚህ ቃልኪዳን ሰነድ የሆነው “ህገመንግስት”…. ህዳር 29/1987 አመተ ልደት በፕሬዝዳንት ነጋሶ ጊዳዳ ተፈርሞ ስራ ላይ ዋለ። ይህ ህገመንግስት ህዳር 29 ሲፀድቅ …”ጀለቢያና አማማ የለበሱ አንድ አባት ….”በደስታ እየጨፈሩና እየዘለሉ ወደ መድረክ ሲወጡ በተደጋጋሚ በቴሌቪዥን ተመልክተናል።

እኚህ አባት አሃዳዊው ስርዓት ምን ያህል ቢያማርራቸው ነው .. አቅላቸውን እስኪስቱ ድረስ እንደዚያ የጨፈሩት ብሎ መጠየቅ ያስፈልጋል።ዴቪድ ላምብ በድህረ ደርግ ወደ ኢትዮጵያ የመጣ የኒውዮርክ ታይምስ አምደኛ ነበር። ዴቪድ ላምብ “The Africans” በሚለው መፅሀፍ ስለ ኢትዮጵያ ሲያትት … ኢትዮጵያ ብዙ ብሔረሰቦች ሀገር ፥የብዙ ባህሎች መገኛ ሀገር ፤፤በቅኝ ግዛት ያልተገዛች ብቸኛ የጥቁር ኩራት እያለ ያትትና ፥ ስለ ሀገሪቱ ፖለቲካ ሆነ አስተዳደር ሲናገር …”ሀገሪቱን የሚዘውሩት ፖለቲካውን የተቆጣጠሩት ከአማራ ብሔረሰብ የሚገኙ Majority እንደሆ ይናገራል። አይደለም እኛ እዚህ ያለነው ቀርቶ “የሌላ ሀገር ዜጎች” … እንኳን የሀገራችን የፖለቲካ ስርዓት ግልፅ ነበር። አሀዳዊ ነበር። አግላይ ነበር። ይህ የነበረ እውነታ ነው።

ህገመንግስቱ ህዳር 29 ሲፀድቅ እንደዛ የተጨፈረበት ሚስጥር “በገዛ መሬቴ” … “በገዛ ቀዬ”… የእራሴን እድል እራሴው እወስናለሁ በሚል ሀሳብ እንደሆነ ጥርጥር የለውም።

ነገር ግን ህዳር 29 የፀደቀውን ህገመንግስት ኢህአዴግ በፓርቲ ማእከላዊነት ስም ሲጨፈልቀው፤ የራስን በራስ የማስተዳደር መብቶችን ሲጋፋ ጣልቃ ሲገባ ፤የብሔረሰቦችን የቃል ኪዳን ሰነድ ሲጣስ ፤. ፍትሀዊ የኢኮኖሚ የፖለቲካ ጉዳዮችን ሲዛቡ ፤ ክፍተቶችና ጉድለቶችን ሲያሳይ ተመልክተናል።

ኢህአዴግ እንደ ፓርቲ የወደቀው የብሔረሰቦችን የቃል ኪዳን ሰነድ የሆነውን “ህገመንግስቱን በተደጋጋሚ ሲጥሰው” ነው። ህገመንግስቱ ይዘቱ ግሩም ነው። እኛ የኢትዮጵያ ብሔር ብሔረሰቦች ህዝቦች ፤ በሀገራችን ኢትዮጵያ ውስጥ ዘላቂ ሰላም ፤ ዋስትና ያየው ዲሞክራሲ እንዲሰፍን ፤ኢኮኖሚያዊ ማህበረሰብ እድገታችን እስኪፋጠን ፤የራሳችንን እድል በራሳችን የመወሰን መብታችንን ተጠቅመን …
