Where is Tsegaye Debtraw ?

By Getachew Reda,

Whenever I was late at night & my mother have no clue where I am, while I am having a good time with my friends outside, my mother use to say "have you heard crying or seen the Hyena who eat my son Getachew?" jokingly some times seriously.

When it comes to Tsegaye Debteraw & his friends who were kidnapped (may be killed afterwards ) from the forest with the order of TPLF officials; it is not a joking matter if we say have you heard crying or seen the Hyena who eat Tsegaye Debteraw? I am sure their mothers are not only saying the way my mother use to say, but also demanding to know the killer or the kidnappers of their beloved sons.

I am sure most of you have heard as I do, that the former Dictator Mengistu Haylemariam's latest interview which is published by the TPLF Mega Publishing and Printing Center. Mengistu in his interview, he strongly asserted, he have no hands what so ever or no clue who killed the popular author Bealu Girma, the author of the popular book OROMAY.

Would it be decent if we ask the so called dissenters who were the

X-officials of the TPLF such as Gebru Asrat, Alemseged GebreAmlak, Tewolde and the rest of the members of the decedents group WHERE IS TSEGAYE DEBTERAW? Would it appropriate also if we seek an answer from the two former officials namely Ato Gebru Asrat and Ato Alemseged GebreAmlak Who are already here with us in the Diaspora, if they can explain to the public voluntarily, so it helps the victims family and friends know to what happen and where about is Tsegay Debteraw with his kidnapped friends.

Whom these officials I am positive have a full knowledge of information regarding to what happen to these political victims after they kidnapped them? Can they tell us if they know why the Hyena who eat Tsegaye and his friends is not crying? Can Finote Radio or any one in the business of report and journalism get contact those former officials and interview them, so that the public, most of all their family can be informed what happen to their sons and brothers/sister?Can we ask if Ato Alemseged GebreAmlak be decent and kind most of all be concerned Ethiopian, if he can kindly inform or discuss this issues and the likes to the public as well in 'addition" to his subject of lecture" of how they split from their organization? I am sure Gebru Asrat or Alemseged are free to discuss or reveal any sensitive information to the public with out pressure or fear from any body, since they live and move freely in the Diaspora where their state of mind is ready to discuss all issues with the public (If my guess is not wrong). Most of all, they have to insist themselves to be the first officials to expose such hidden secrets and other highly sensitive issues. Most of all, kidnapping and killing culture of TPLF must be exposed by and ridiculed by these officials in-front of the public for the decency and future clarity if they are ready to confess.

I bring this issue as a decent Ethiopian who cares about every life lost by TPLF. Dr.Taye Is free because we cry loud to the world, why not we cry for Those who perished with out seeing any court of justice? Aren't they too leaders of student movements and leaders of political organization who spoke on behalf of their people? If we start demanding to know where about the sons and Daughters of the Ethiopian mothers & fathers who were kidnapped by TPLF and EPDM who are still perished with no clue where their about is : then that means we are preparing our mind to teach not to accept indecency and lies .

Most of all we know to what is happening to those who are in the custody of TPLF, who are officially seeing the TPLF , Courts in our cities and towns,. But what is not clear and where about their presence is, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE KIDNAPPED FROM SUDAN LIKE MY FRIEND LEUTENANT DESTA WOLDEMIKAEL (ADUWA>ADI-ABUN THE BROTHER OF MEMHIR ABRAHA WOLDEMIKAEL) AND OTHER VICTIMES

VIOLENT ORGANIZATION. This is where we have to start demanding the officials to expose hidden secrets with all the story and responsibility they know.
