They are killing bright students, starving the farmer and innocent people. The gorilla fight every body is talking about? Their former gorillas don't fight anymore because they are sleeping on gold. and living off of our oromo people's resources.

Do you think the different peoples and regions of the country should be governed by a strong central government from Addis? Criticising Meles' government is very easy but, what are the alternatives?

In 2005 Zenawi slaughtered civilians for the simple reason that they protested against the govt's wish to stay in power while the election showed otherwise. Therefore, whatever, they are experienced killers, all Ethiopians have to fight them rather than being killed by this cruel gov't soldiers and manmade drought and facing misery life inflicted by the govt.

The government, EPRDF, is very experienced in guerrila warfare. The best available path is through the ballot box, and most probably the majority Ethiopians would still vote for Meles Zenawi's government. Ethiopia has one of the brightest leaders in its modern times, better than the so called educated people with phd's and so on who live abroad in comfort but provide no alternative ideas besides criticising the government's policies.
