At this time, I am not hopeless. Tigray is through the pang of hard labor for the rebirth of Axum. We will fight till we are 100% free. But our fight after now must not be recycling our pain, suffering, death, siege, rape, starvation, bombing, extrajudicial killing, looting, burning, blacking out from light, water, communication, deprivation of life itself. All these pain is the price we are obligated to pay for our ultimate freedom, Geez, The word Geez means free, first and Agazian means those who are Geez speaker and first. We are Agazian. Giezet is ultimate freedom, liberty. I envision Tigray has to go through all these pain to rediscover itself and to reclaim, restore and rebuild itself, Giezet. To march to the ultimate freedom, Giezet, we must never kneel down even for one second. But we must be strong like rock and steadfast as never before. We must all be one and commit to pay what it takes to be free. I will suggest what we must do from now on.
You may not believe me, I am not sad anymore. I am burning with inspiration to do more than I could imagine. I have said to myself I will never kneel down even in front of death itself. But I have said to myself I must have a clear vision as to what I wanted to achieve for Tigray. It is freedom, this freedom is given to every human naturally. No man under the sun has the right to rip me off my humanity. I am equal with every human. I will never kneel down to any man like me. No man or woman is above or below another man or woman.
All Tigreans must work together as never before. Sometimes enemies are a blessing in disguise because they awaken you from a deep sleep when they commit high degree atrocity on you. If America did not have Germany as enemy during the second world II, today America would not have been what it is today. It is Germany which was the enemy of the western allies that awakened the never existed progress and civilization of America and Europe. America did not have nuclear weapon while Germany was already working on nuclear program. It was the refugee Albert Einstein who fled from Germany and educated Americans about German’s nuclear program. So America for its own survival, it has to scramble to learn about Nuclear physics and program which lead the establishment of the Manhattan project and Los Alamos Laboratory, and many other electronic warfare such as Radar Technology, and the discovery of the mother of modern semiconductor industry, Transistors itself. Transistor was discovered because the American needed to build guided missiles. So necessity is the mother of invention. We see today,Transistor is not only used for b missile guidance, but also for all the semiconductor applications we see today around us such as computer, consumer electronics, transportation, telecommunication, agriculture, food, medical, defense industries.
When you put carbon or soot or Hamekushti in Tigrignea, in a furnace ( Eton) under high temperature and pressure, the soot or the Hamekushti becomes diamond. Diamond is the strongest material on earth and if you wanted to make diamond sparkling beautiful ,you have to polish it hard and when you finish polishing it, it becomes sparking and shiny and beautiful gem. Now the new Material called Graphene is the strongest material on our planet right now. Tigray will be the human graphene. We are paying all these huge price to be free and to be strong like never before. Israel was banished 100% ,but Israel is now an oasis in a desert. But Tigray is more than Issrael. So Tigrean must know trial and tribulation on Tigray is like polishing the diamond so that the diamond is clean of any dirt,debris on it. Tigray has to go itself through all these to restore its true and pure identity which was lost in the process of subtle assimilation and black colonization.
We will be free, but we must do our home work as never before. The way we do things must be based on science after now. We must not allow leadership role based on opinion or gimgema after now. My opinion can be wrong or right. My opinion must be examined based on science. Reason,if lead my people by my opinion, if my opinion is wrong, I will bring disaster on my subjects. My opinion must be questioned,verified and validated to make sure my opinion put up as a policy may not destroy the people whom I lead. We must not accept people who tell us they are always right and their opinion cannot be questioned and cannot be changed or touched.
We must have a clear vision after now. Our vision must be based on our history and our ancestral inheritance. All human operates based on this premise. No nation throws away its history and legacy based on few people’s opinion or beliefs they invented. Every country protects and cherishes its legacy.
Thus our vision after now must clear,written, and be based on :
1. Our historical and ancestral Geography land inheritance
2. Our historical and ancestral sea inheritance
3. Our historical and ancestral civilization
4. Our historical and ancestral Alphabet, Geez, Geez Calendar
5. Our Historical and ancestral culture, custom, values, way of life.
If we fight with no clear vision and strategy that takes our interest and security, even if we win the war, we will not get anything because we will lose it as we did lose it now.
Our ideology must be about our interest and security.The whole world works like that.We must not try to fix other nations problem before we did our own. Megemerya Mekemeyey Belet Hibey Yebehal.
All the above points must be reinforced by science and Technology and reasoning.
All Tigreans must know the Tigray cause is now the cause of every single Tigreway or Tigrignea speaker.
What to be done now?
Well, every Tigreway has legal, moral, historical and ancestral obligation to free Tigray from the clutch of death or from complete annihilation. To save and free Tigray from complete annihilation, it is an obligation of every single Tigreway. We do not need promotion to mobilize Tigreans now. Every Tigreway must be self mobilized across the world. Every able Tigreway must take up a second job even night time and make money for Tigray TDF. We must provide TDF with all the tools they need. There is nothing we cannot provide them. To realize this, we must not allow anyone who become obstacle on our way to do whatever it takes.
Every Tigreway must created a new Tigray community in every country and work together to free Tigray once for all. Every Tigreway must know we are fighting for complete restoration and rebuilding of Axum as country. Axum is one of the oldest country on the planet. We must not be shy about it. We have historical and ancestral records as a nation. We will not be pursuing secessation but restoration of our country. We must not beg this from anyone. We must get it ourselves.
We will be free.
