The table below shows that the TPLF regime has a virtual monopoly over political power; and this monopoly is established among other things through the introduction of ethnic politics into the political process. In Ethiopia, ethnic politics is at the helm of the military and other civic organizations, which naturally are supposed to be politically neutral institutions. I urge donor nations and other international aid agencies to pay particular attention to this overwhelming evidence and reconsider their policies towards a regime that benefits the few. 50% of the country populations are Oromo’s but there is no any position for ethnic OROMOS in army. This shows weyane / TPLF they made our Oromia like Syria tomorrow by ethnic violence. Obviously, donor nations and tax payers in donor countries do not want to see their funds used by dictators who deny freedom and justice to the very people to whom the aid is intended. Likewise, no democratic citizen of the world wants its hard earned money to go to a Third World country and be used to prop up a dictatorial regime that muffles free press and kills democratic movements like Ethiopia.
The domination of Tigre in army power never stops the freedom way of Our Oromia and Oromos with OLF!
