  1. That is great news. It would have been the greatest loss that country could have faced if anyone of these two greatest intellectuals succumbed for being deprived of food. Without these two the old country would be kaput!!! The thesis that these two wrote for their masters was used to end the war in Kosovo and the border war between Peru and Taiwan. What is wrong with that PM Abiy? Why is changing the breakfast, lunch and dinner menu of the prison? What is wrong with him? If he does not bring back the old menu, that is it. What do you by ‘that is it’, Ittu? Well, I will go on a hunger strike myself!!! Rents are too damn high in Minnesota!!! Rents are damn too high in Minnesota!!!!

  2. Excuse me, the border war was between Bolivia and Singapore due to poor seashore demarcation left behind by their former colonizer, Bulgaria. That was what mentioned in the conflict resolution producing thesis. Sorry, its my mistake. I just misquoted!!!!

  3. The liberation fighters did not just end their hunger strike. They decided to end the strike after 39 days of not eating and drinking anything after:

    1) Elders came to the prison cells and refused to leave unless the prisoners end the strike
    2) PM Abiy and his administration agreed and guaranteed that there will be no prisoners in jail whether political or otherwise by the end of this week. That means every prisoner including those who committed murder or incited others to murder civilians will be let go free. That means the prisoner population in Ethiopia will be zero a week from today.
    3) The government has agreed to pay for damages(about 10 billion in US dollars) to those who were accused of killing innocent civilians following the murder of Hachalu.
    4) PM Abiy will issue an admission of guilt for sending federal defense forces to Tigray on law and order mission that it should have allowed Tigray to secede as a Republic.
    4) The prisoners have agreed to end their protest about rents being too damn high in Minnesota.

    This shows it is a win-win for everyone. The liberation army that has surrounded the capital for more than a year has now been ordered to stand down.

    1. What sort of war are you talking about? Star Wars maybe? Bolivia is in SA, Singapore far away in Asia, and Bulgaria, a tiny East European country that never had nothing to do with SA, so… please just take a look to the world map and think before write down 🙁

  4. Dear Ittu Aba Farda,
    Just read through your three comments above. Is this some sarcasm or for real? Jawar and Bekele “two greatest intellectuals?” I do agree that the two are smart individuals! I will hazard a guess that you probably meant “two great ethnic intellectuals!” In my humble opinion there are hardly organic intellectuals in today’s Ethiopia. Almost all have turned ethnic as prescribed by Dr. Tplf!

    1. Dear Alem,

      Just put a grain of salt in it and it will come back to you. Do you know that these two men are Mensa with an IQ of 325 each; the highest ever recorded surpassing both Grigori Perelman and William James Sidis? Now you are in the know just like me!!!!!! One more thing. Don’t say bad things about them. Otherwise, I will tell them to stop eating!!!!
