Good fruits for Ethiopia (Obang metho)

As in human history, the fruits we enjoy in a humane society are due to the work of those who came before, who sacrificed for us, disciplined us and then passed on the responsibility to us. Even though we Ethiopians have failed to a large extent, we can still change our course. It is now the time for all of us, Ethiopians from every ethnic groups to plant the seeds for others to benefit. The moral decisions we make today and the ethical actions we take can be our legacy. However, sadly, the lack of such can chart a course to destruction. Let us choose the courageous path and go forward without fear. What happened to the Sidamo, the Somali, the Tigrayan, the Oromo, the Afar, the Amhara and many others ethnic groups in Ethiopia is a threat to everyone lives and is also a threat to me and my offspring. Therefore, that is why I (Obang Metho) am willing to work with any group in Ethiopia so that I do my best to leave behind an Ethiopia where my children won’t be in danger due to my action or inaction. All of us Ethiopian from every ethnic and religious groups must join together so that peace and harmony is what is passed on to the next generation of Ethiopians; not death, hate and suffering. Without meaningful dialogues and reconciling together, we will not be able to move on as a people and as a country. May God help us!
