Thank you Metasebia for having invited teacher Demsew Tessema to share with us the ups and downs of the difficult living conditions the southern portions of Ethiopians are going through on a daily basis. To the average of Ethiopians no matter where one lives the cost of living, safety and security are all at stake and are beyond anyone’s expectations. It pains us all to hear to those types of life threatening issues that put the Southern part of the Ethiopian population into a quagmire of poverty and starvation that they can’t pull themselves out of overnight. Since all Ethiopians face the same types of problems, and the only panacea to such a wretched life style is to unite and get rid of this blood thirsty dictator and replace him with a leader who is compassionate and empathetic enough to treat all Ethiopians who come from all walks of life to work and live together as families, relatives, neighbors, and friends peacefully and harmoniously as it has always been for many thousands of years in the past.
