If you was missing from his passing. Hes a towering. Cultural icon of the home. Owner or in goal of having supports. Your claim the. Prime minister. Or the. Creative or.

First of all it takes is opportunity to express my deepest condolences to everyone d grieving hijo and as are innocent citizens who had killed the last week you normally are region and december hi jan was a very bright and i would say free spirited and shes does care very shook it should shocking news to all of us. Are going to need an ideological differences i think. I dont do that daily as a high profile as a nation but its by no means and its only didnt see it in. One incident that we have seen in the last 3 years as a country. And she came hygienist around. We saw no opposition and as a government we were already trading in solitaires and traitors. For support and all that and of course as a crisis that ensued he is and what has transpired. Once more showed as existence of. A social and opponent problem in the country. Killing off innocent citizens. From yours. Does. As well as. A disagreement. And still we dont know what. We dont know dont have. To see who was the killer. Here your government. Were missionaries its or not a judge but why did you or your choice the bigger picture. Of the area. That you know when you know you know i hear were going with this i know you let me just one of these tweets here this is from a manual a manual says how to use not it is just a trick radical ethno nationalism and native its time to mint at the root of the armrest you take is once. Well. This is a very simplified in our statement to the deep rooted problem that we have in the country for the last 2 years the country has been. Very. Volatile situation and it was actually. Now. What you call it. Into. High profile people. For example. You can take the assassination of. The chief of staff john mccann and original eater. And other high profile. In the country so. I dont want to say that. Its because of. The narrative that we have from different ethnic groups its a very simplified segment for me to call that these. Narratives. Actually. Is not for me for me. And it has meaning in intuition was. Now out to regional leadership. For the last 2 years now as we speak. Internet access in the country and its also. Blocked t. V. Stations like independent you stations like or amman and. Your great t. V. And another t. V. Station called. So its really sad that this situation that we are in as a country is really. And on top of that the does or for. Exacerbate the situation i was everywhere not only to the or more but he was it was 2 nations in the finale. Its really shocking and its i consider it as a murder. As. There is to our democracy to difference in opinion and. To. Demand off. In different parts of the country because he is being voicing for us of this sort of Self Determination of oh i want to put this into you guess and i was in touch with the. Office. The Prime Minister earlier on today and again were having issues getting content on to asho we tried really hard but one of the things i heard was the media entities are. Running the floods and that there are rumors going around which arent true and this is a politically motivated assassination. This these are the governments response to a lot of what is being talked about right now how will how would you respond to that. For a course i dont want to say one. New relation to your question about this north. East creating the. Tunnel where is the. Interview for which or infinitely beaten out of the others. For the last its years that i think ignore. It and to do that and being deliberately put a huge by some of. It im a little bit interested and now i think all of them are also. And this is i believe to be a huge. You know acid occasion to facilitate that kind of person if you just to the. House and return to the country to. Also as those holdouts she would be orderly person that would have the visit everything that happened in the going to be supplied and use for them to move you know its a. Its in terms of. The. Governments response that this is a politically move that it. Either politically was bitter suspicion that was used who really had the motivation to. There might be multiple authors who know that interest was needed in both the government before he murdered boys. Her or. Her or illusionist. Or whether this would be where there are some. Fired his voice. And no immediate new yorker or. A new way to so no apparent inability has. Let me let me bring in. On it this is what he said he in the wake of investors to this have listened. To the other judge in the law what our enemies want is that we dont finish the work that we started that the aroma people for this reason fight are killed the blood is spilled that the journey that we started gets derailed the undercover. So africa for life theres so much going on online you cheat frankly so much were having a vibrant conversation on like africa for life makes a good point when are you going to talk about all the good the good abby has done its not misinformation and tactics. There has been reform democratic reforms where are you now compared to a year ago in ethiopia is this. Easy if you have me going in the right direction regarding democrat even though theres the internet which means that we can have a guy who has not. Were on to what the good at he has done. Before i go question let me know if you want history go to what i want to say earlier i think we should understand that there are serious problems. If your peon media cycle. Media. Which have been broadcast. Driven propaganda i can i can mention what what was happening in the last few few days for example we can mention or. Even said. They have been broadcasting the speech and some of where is that where it actually calling for extermination of minorities who are let me not only have read so. Im going to back to coming back to your question i think. Prime minister is one of the Prime Minister of years one of the most progressive leaders that we have seen we have seen in recent history of the country has released many many prisoners of course there was a conclusion of the public protests. That led to him to come to power but yeah we have measured the blocking of eternity in blocking off entirely that is not the 1st time that we have been rocking of blockage of it was there. 27 years when there is a degree and. I know its hard for you to. Connect in prior the internet i got a message on twitter a few days ago and it said i am so fed up with the internet being closed down every time that there are protests every time in some discomfort the government whether its this current government if its previous. Current governments why is it that the internet is shut down remembering that if you are right now i think as a teen people are people trying to do that work at home that is really irritating for people not to have the internet send over government stray ssion also shut down the internet does not necessarily make you might now to canada thank you for being into. That god he says that there are people who are hired by abu ahmed to spread false information on the social media so both sides of this debate a planing that is force in summation i am just wondering about this promise this the main reason is something. That if i if i may. Im going to get stuck on the media even though im part of the media im going to push on that. Allow me to push and i was going to be at the end of the show weve only ever spoken about media art so. There was this promise this this this in suzy as im on it as Prime Minister he is from the aroma ethnic group of people very excited that he could bring unity to ethiopia what do you think about where we are now with ethiopia. Its the face not. Least i dont consider i was on issues because the irish are not going. To to to have their own right and to live with. Other nations initially to peacefully and you know in harmony but they want to have. You know their own. Questions to be unsafe in months to be at risk but has never been committed to on these questions. So i think from day one what i want. To finish let me finish i did you. Want to finish you finish there i let you finish right with me. I know that im going to use an. Engine that everyone knew each other i will finish the in one take. Reason and the very beginning people had reason to be very optimistic that it got to the leadership of i mean when he used. Of course he was. Promised by the previous. Result of. You know reform. But i would like to give him credit for that for releasing prisoners for opening up the media but what we have right now is. Entirely communication in the country all dependent media are banned. On it and. You are also very not. Going back. To new york. Given record time i would say youre reinforcing an argument youve already made between folks. No i was saying i would take my cues ations i get is a Prime Minister and somehow kerry stayed because a Prime Minister has been trying to unify a country that he has inherited which was quite a divided of chords there are some limitations but to argue of him being for example i get is if i do mr asian it is it is a total light for now we can take this you dont want people. People where do you for so if i did nutrition for 27 years and 30 period didnt responded to that question and the Prime Minister couldnt manage to respond in less than 2 years how come it will stay there if you 900. 75 i know that other. People. For the last 27 years sit down my people who dont. Even mind i dont think so little bit again youre. Right just to say the you tube audience so ok just give them a little bit of a break they hear that you are the sation only chief and i dont really want to put this to you our people are asking for abbey Prime Minister. To step down they say he needs to resign part of this its due to the fact that the top elections have been postponed until im not too sure way is this a cool through resignation isnt. Sounding off always something is a reasonable thing to ask in his current situation. I think i think there. Is a once in it you know if you have 2 fields. The most important my b. G. Higher when he came to power was. National consensus. Space for healing within the events to where you look he spent a considerable part of his. Normal hans the deeper you guessed it how was this violence that we had seen now indicates is really the deeper fracture that exists within that your best it was the i am so you do to do will be glued to my test that i search and really the serious problem on the carolinas and i understand the. Challenges to sue through a little incident that kind of affected the solutions and erasure. Thats somewhere there are certainly said by your people to hear and he couldve voted out what he will eat and he dismantle the kind of structure that you know in the us and that is it provided in the newsgroups newsnight is with the citizens to do it within our created this is kind of your heart the and how to uses it resources to do this is myth is the possibility for if weve been open the lid is almost gone so you know what extent any point of the illusion will be had given that argument is going to use our understanding of the ways in which it is extended even a dubious news who will get it done and i think it is all of these things not just that us initially. I order squeeze this one more coming in because it takes us back to how we started we are alan is a journalist and he had this important point to make out the assassination of a beloved singer and now in the fallout from the assassination a similar. Immediately after had. Mr insight in yet to going to see this incensed at most a 100 people.
