So this is "Killing Your Brother is not braveness"

• When I open my TV most days, and put on the news, especially in ETV. Seems all political news shows will lead with stories about the downfall of the Derg regime. It happens a lot in the political world, and this news hurts me. I never feel like I, getting killed one ppl each other; In fact, I feel bad when I listen to this news every day on ETV. Simply I cannot just sit and watch this civil war because it is Killing Your Brother, is not braveness of one side because we all are in one root.

•  I love my beautiful country, but we have our problems. We are all different: some of us ETV fans, some of us free press fans, some of us rich, some of us poor, and infect we all are black Africans ( I don’t like the word “we are merely Ethiopians”) whatever. But really we are all the same. We love, we all love to win, we love our families, we love our culture, we love to laugh, we all need love, we all hurt, we all make mistakes, we all bleed red, we are all human, we are neighbors. Ethiopia is a town of tolerance and the people have heart. We all know this is true.

•  I wrote this article "Killing Your Brother is not braveness" for a few reasons. First, I have lost one-era ppl in times of war, so I obviously have an attitude. Second, it's just a simple message for ETV and Governmental media by all language, "Hey, "Killing Your Brother is not a braveness", it's just a civil war, it is a conflict of brotherhood, it is not a war between country’s, even if, if we win with other African countries it is not also a state of being brave: it doesn't matter who you kill in the time of the war, you are taking the life of a brother or a sister. Who says this is okay ETV? You ppl are screwing yourself. Is there another way? Step back. Talk it out.  Put your gun pen down and use the brain pen and preach for these poor ppl about oneness, freedom, human rights, and the bad side of racism. Don't be a victim, be a solution. And third, it is a message to all you good people who are the Victims of  ETV and other media. 

Thanks again,
