To: All Semayawi Support Group Members,
Dear All Semayawi Supporters,
how are you doing? I would like to convey my massage in the name of Semayawi/Blue Party. All the members of the executive also want to give you a big hug. We believe that both the local leadership and the Diaspora supporters are in rush hour to win the next election successfully. The fundamental questions like “How?” and “when?” are going to be discussed in the coming paragraphs.
Dear All,
Four months ago the Party’s Executive Committee presented the “Annual Plan” for the year 2007 E.C. (2014/15). After a whole day discussion and debate at the congress (National Assembly, ብሔራዊ ምክር ቤት), it is approved without any abstain. The PLAN includes three basic parts. It raises more than twenty critical reasons or weaknesses of the TPLF/EPRDF Regime. These points elaborate both the weakness of the ruling party and the strength of our party/Semayawi. Besides, the theses also try to unveil some of the unforeseen challenges that may appear as obstacles. Thus, based on these Achilles’ spots, we prepared a three phases plan.
Phase-1/Part-1 deals with the ‘rationale’ behind our target population that could vote Semayawi. So, we have chosen around 380 Woredas/seats for the House of People’s Representatives (or the Parliament). Next, we have divided these Woredas into ten Zones and we also proposed a Sister Support Group Cities for each Zones. Moreover, we have assigned the active party members that lead each Zone as an Ad hock Committee. Here are the ten Zones and the proposed Support Group State or Country. You have a full right to comment or to rearrange the proposal about the Sister Cities.
The division is as follows; taking into consideration their geographical proximity, the infra-structures accessibility and the Party’s Structure. Namely:
1) Zone I- Gonder (Both Northern and Southern Gonders), it has 41 seats (Thus, the proposed States are Seattle and one more State that may be decided with North America Support Group members);
2) Zone II- Wollo (Both Northern and Southern Wollo, and the Oromiya Zone in Amhara region or Kemise, Wore Ellu, Yeju, etc) nearly 34 seats (Two States from Canada, namely, Calgary and Toronto. It is open fr further discussions, too);
3) Zone III- Gojam (this comprises not only the Western and Eastern Gojam but also the Awi or Agaw Midir), around 35 seats (Six selected Cities from North America or from USA discussion with NASSG members );
4) Zone IV- Showa (this zone includes Addis Ababa, Eastern Showa, Western Showa, Sothern Showa, and Northern Showa), around 75 seats (Washington DC and one Atlanta or any other city in USA);
5) Zone V- Sidama, Gedeo, and Arisi areas, nearly 35 seats (Six other States from USA including Minnesota and others);
6) Zone VI- Gamo Gofa, Southern Omo areas to get 27 seats (Norway, and Holand);
7) Zone V II- Hadiya, Kenbatana Tenbaro, Dawro, and Wolayta, to win 32 seats (Switzerland and South Africa);
8) Zone VIII- Jima, Ellu Ababor, Kefa, Sheka, Gambela regions to win 41 seats (German);
9) Zone IX- Dire Dawa, Somali region, Harar, and Western Harargie, to get 20 seats (England, and Sweden); and finally,
10) Zone X- Guragie and Siltye (ሥልጤ) Zones to take 16 seats (Australia is proposed to support this Zone) .
We have done a rigorous research to decide “how” and “why” we can win these Woredas. We also succeeded in representing and registering more than 455 candidates for the Parliament and 597 candidates for the local regional assemblies though the Electoral Board and the TPLF/EEPRDF regime has cancelled more than 210 of them. Our strategy is clear and brief. We need the election to expose the zero tolerance of TPLF/EPRDF and its leaders. We believe that we have 100% succeeded by unveiling all the sabotages done on the peaceful struggle.
Besides, we need to remind all our supporters how effectively the peaceful struggle is successful from the actions of the ruling party. When the regime expels the true leaders of UDJ and AEUP, we widely opened our big hug for all passionate and constructive members from both parties. We gave them a welcoming hug and shake as a result of their restless contribution n the peaceful struggle. We totally believe that how intolerant is the TPLF/EPRDF regime in the 21st century (a century of plurality and heterogeneously).
This is the synopsis of the research to share with you. However, we will send you the detailed plan in the near future. Furthermore, we would like to remind you supporting the campaign in terms of financial aids; it could be also in terms of Diplomacy and Public Relations. We are not only certain in outreaching these 250 and more Woredas before the coming election but also we are ready to win most of the seats for both local and national assemblies. We are also sure that this huge plan doesn’t apply unless we join our arms together. This is also the pick hour (the highest time) to unveil the tricky Woyane’s regime in practical activities.
Among these activities we would like to remind you that fund-raising events and town hall meetings are too essential. Thus, we ask you to organize them within the coming two or three weeks and to send us invitations for travel too. We are ready to send delegates in all corners of the world from now on. But, don’t mention any name or any responsibility when you send your requests. However, we are sure that we will send enthusiastic members of the delegates that present and represent the party effectively. The requests will be welcomed as soon as possible. Furthermore, we need to request you further arrangements for having meetings with Politicians and influential citizens in the cities you are residing. This will help us when there are mass arrests and human right violations occur after the election. So, try to carry on these responsibilities by reorganizing your members and your enthusiasms.
We expect an optimistic and a constructive response from all of you. History will boldly write all of your unreserved contribution on a golden tab (your generously presented freedom and equality fight in our home country-Ethiopia).
If you have any further questions you want to reach me through Telephone or Emails.
With Warm Regards,
