| On November 26, 2005 Tigrayans residing in Toronto, Canada, and its
surroundings had a meeting to discuss the current political situation in our country of birth Ethiopia. The meeting has focused on the third general election that was held on May 7, 2005 in a free and democratic process as it was witnessed by hundreds international observers. We strongly believe that the election has laid a historic chapter in the democratization process of the country, as it was free and fair election by all standards. However, it was unhelpful for a country like Ethiopia that is laying the basic grounds of democracy, to know that the event was followed by violence and terror that lead to the lose of precious human lives of our brothers and sisters and destruction of vast property for an economy that is relying on foreign aid. Accordingly, the violence that was ignited by the opposition parties on the first week of November 2005, again lead to the loss of many lives and vast property damage. The circumstance and consequences of the violence is absolutely unacceptable to any society and country, and off course it had a negative impact to our well being and historic coexistence. If it was not controlled wisely and patiently by the government, the situation was really dangerous and it is not difficult for most of us to imagine its consequences. Therefore, after intensive and mature discussions, we Tigrayans living in Toronto and its vicinity have passed the following resolutions: 1. We regret the lose of life of our brothers and sisters, and our condolences to their families. 2. We condemn any violence in any form that undermines the constitution and desire to cling to power by any means. 3. We support the government to take appropriate measures against those parties and individuals that ignited the violence and propagate hate rate. 4. We support the government’s tireless hard work in the democratic process of the country. 5. We will work hard to foil the false and hate propaganda here in North America by individuals, and all the media. 6. We advice the opposition parties and their supporters to come to their senses and to play constructive role as an opposition. Peace and prosperity for Ethiopia! Tigrayan’s living in Toronto and its vicinity. |
