mitiye, my love ... kulalite, endet keremshilign?
wouoooooooo endet kitil indalku when i read your
facebook message ... sint juicy tarik indameletegn
iyasebku ... lemanignawim when u do get ur strength
back please indalech kuch argesh lakiat. Ok ... so
where do I start with the updates? ...
darlin ... yesterday I went to this talk at Hampshire
on the topic of 'Can the African State be reformed?'
the speaker was brilliant, a Kenyan by the name Macuo
Matua. He was on the truth commission for a lot of
countries including our very own. After the talk your
uncle even asked him as to how he views the federal
system of Ethiopia and he basically said that they,
ones on the truth commission, were very skeptical even
in the beginning cause he said Meles' intentions were
never transparent. He was very informative gin
mitisha, you know me I always like it when people are
a bit cynical, two comments of his sort of fired up
the audience. For one, he said that Rwanda is bound to
see another genocide in the near future and the only
way to avoid that is to put Hutu's in one country and
Tutsis in the other. Second, he said, and I quote,
"What is Chad? Even the Chadians, if you ask them,
don't know the answer to this." This was actually in
answer to the arbitrary borders set by Europeans which
create problems to this day. Lemanignawim, goodness
mitisha, suffice to say that I was mesmerized. The
confidence with which he spoke, the small spark of
hope he succeeded in lighting, for this troubled,
beautiful continent of ours ...
Incidentally, today is Five College Africa day and
its being held here, at our campus and I'm gonna sneak
out of work to attend some more talks.
Darlin, I'm really confused with my stupid 'thesis'.
Yaltegemere sira defire thesis sil ... Anyways, its
still on the table although I doubt I'll go through
with it ... too many complications bicha esti we'll
see ...
I was reading a book Garcia Marquez, the guy who
wrote 100 years of Solitude? yeah ... bicha mitisha
there's this Indian character and she was a maid in
one of the Europeans house ... later she runs off with
this sketchy guy and her life ultimately ends up in
shambles. Mitisha, woyneeeeeeeee, the way she
described days gone by, beka libe ket new yalew. It
was like ... beka once this day is gone ... nothing
you can do about it. What's worse, you won't even get
to realize it unless its too late ... she was old and
and the woman who was talking to her was saying how,
opposite to everyone in the town who was going through
a difficult time in the past and who was now
prosperous and happy, this woman's happiest days were
those difficult times ... woyne mitisha inja beka more
than anything, never have regrets of wasted days, how
we take this precious time for granted ...
darlin... i really thought about your paper question
last time ... n i honestly couldn't come up with a
GREAT idea gin indene indene, it would be much better
for you to do the paper. If its political economy,
there's always the option of writing on Zimbabwe,
don't know if you've done that before ... or success
stories like Botswana ... I actually recommend that
one strongly, its like an oasis in Sub-Saharan poverty
stricken Africa.
