Your Governments not Immigrants are the Problem Tariku Abas Etenesh “Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked.” Hermann Wilhelm Göring, one of the trusted advisers of Adolf Hitler, said this about how the mass could quickly be turned into machinery for savagery to do their leaders bidding. What is happening in Saudi Arabia currently whereby mobs encouraged by their government arbitrarily torture, stab, rape and kill what they called illegal immigrants from Ethiopia, Philippines, Nigeria, Sudan, Chad, Eritrea, and India, as if they were not human beings, is the exact reflection of the above Nazi principles. History is witness to the fact that during great economic upheavals, as the world is currently facing; irrational forces in governments with narrow political interests justify monstrosity under cover of national interests and regiment the mass behind. The Nazi ...

The Democratic Republic of ‘Absurdistan’ ...Tariku Abas-Etenesh... M y closest friends call me Tare; that is my nickname.  And I sometimes amuse myself with the question,” if countries could take official nicknames, what would the nickname for Ethiopia be ? Recently, while I was reading an Adam Johnson article about the late North Korean ‘Dear’ Leader Kim Jong Il,  I came across a word that could fit Ethiopia as it fits North Korea for different reasons: ‘Absurdistan.’ So let's talk about The Federal Democratic Republic of Absurdistan ( a.k.a Ethiopia) where many absurdities are accepted norms. In the republic of Absurdistan: Telecommunication, TV, radio, and other means of communication were introduced almost as immediately as they were invented; however their state of affairs now is almost as backward as they were when they came here in the old times. Some 'good citizens' of Absurdistan, however,claim that if people could be granted the right...

Reframing ‘The African Renaissance ’ By Tariku Abas-Etenesh (First appeared on: The EthiopianAmerican:(   http://www.theethiopianamerican.com/index.php ) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Africa rising? Since May 2013, boldfaced and prominent big billboards greet passersby in Addis Ababa reading: Arise Africa . It is arguably the most frequently heard avowal during the recently celebrated golden Jubilee of the African Union (AU), under the theme: Pan-Africanism and African renaissance. The theme’s comfortingly deserved meaning is attributed to the current economic development, according to IMF data, in various African countries including Ethiopia. What a positive spirit to celebrate the anniversary with! As a Nigerian proverb says it, when a man says yes, his Chi (his personal god) says yes ; and so, when a continent says I am rising, the spirits of her citizens rise up with it. Despite the sense of positiv...

Conjugating 'Verb-to-Hate'?  Tariku Abas Etenesh ……………………………………………………….. C onjugating the ‘verb to hate’ Is -effortless –some say, Yet, when you venture at it as a grammarian of solidarity, With care for words and their diction, With knowledge of the residing souls in words, And of words that reside in souls, Simplicity is an understatement, Trap for gullible spirit; For when you set out for the reality check, On the streets and parliament, hovels and palaces, On the angry faces and bewildered hearts, Walking and standing with a cause or otherwise, There comes the rub tinted with lack of grain; When ' conjugation' is staged at the pulpits of public-opinion, Not so much for communication, But with a new found zeal of festering confusion; Where you stumble on ‘some’ teaching syntax, Of aching the souring wounds of the mass, And when you hear them speak, write, rule and confess,   Of justice, equality and pe...
