VERBATIM |
|
|
 |
|
It's
a tragedy . . . it is the history of Ethiopia's political tragedy. |
|
Seyee Abraha,
former defence minister, told the Amharic weekly, Awramba
Times, on how he felt about the recently celebrated 17th
Year Anniversary of the collapse of the military government on
May 28, 1991. He, together with Tewolde W. Mariam and Tamrat
Layne, had all been members of the rebels' Military Command, and
were at the Central Command established in a cave in Temben,
Tigray Regional State, before heading, one after another, for
Addis Abeba two days after the fall of the capital to the EPRDF
forces. All of them are presently no longer with the ruling
party. |
