The Merger having collapsed, Let us now focus on what Matters most to the Democratic Transition
Tsegaye Regassa Ararssa 11-21-19 - The fact that TPLF has stepped out of the EPP project has made matters easy for everyone. Now, legally, the evolution (i.e., merger) of EPRDF parties into EPP has officially failed. The merger process has collapsed. PM Abiy can now go ahead and form his new party as he is free to do that.However, he can't any more use the various organs of EPRDF to do that. Moreover, he cannot dissolve the parties that are members of the EPRDF coalition by mere fiat.
Note: In today's meeting of the late EPRDF leftover group, Abbo Lemma Mufriyat and Mustefe were not present according to KMN.

Saving the Ethiopian Airlines from Economic Predators
Buruke Alemayehu November 20, 2019 - Ethiopian Airlines is facing privatization-a neoliberal action-justified based on property rights. To its proponents, privatization begets economic development-no matter what the "short term" pain might be. But to the opponent of privatization of the common goods, such as this writer, it can come at too high a price to be paid by the majority of a people.

FYI: Although the State media reported only six people opposed the transformation of EPRDF to EPP or PP, we have heard from a reliable source few from the Opdo/ODP and Southern People did not vote with a YES. The much-circulated picture from the meeting that shows Abbo Lemma and others raising their hands is a vote for setting the agenda for the day! Aigaforum Nov 20, 2019

Getachew Reda on why TPLF rejected Ahadawi/EPP party today!
Getachew said:-

TPLF was ready to discuss the study paper on transforming EPRDF into a single party but Abiy insisted everyone accept the idea without discussion and seeing the bylaw.

Although the media was told only 6 members rejected the idea, he knew more people did not vote yes!

TPLF wanted the agenda to be more on restoring peace and managing the deteriorating political and economic situation of the country.

The process to dissolve EPRDF is a long process.

Ever tried revenge honey? It tastes good
The landscape of northern Ethiopia has been transformed over the last three decades by a regreening project that has turned degraded land into forest. This has had a positive impact on water supplies, and on wildlife - including bees. We're walking among the mature trees in the tree garden when they attack.
