Siye to Make an Apology

By Gubae Gundarta

Former Minister of Defense and member of TPLF higher management; now chair of standing committee for public relations of the Unity for Justice and Democracy Party(UJDP), Siye Abraha said he would ask the Ethiopian people for an official apology in case he committed mistakes when he held his former offices.

Ethiopia: Siye to Make an ApologyThe question that Siye should make an apology has been raised time and again on several occasions lest the Ethiopian people held any grudge against him for any wrongdoings, conscious or otherwise, when he was a member of the TPLF-EPRDF. His stance had always been that he would do nothing more than being officially responsible for any such misdeeds and would not apologize on a personal capacity.

On a public gathering organized by UJDP last Saturday, 18 September 2010, in the Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation’s theatre, near Mexico Square, Siye answered the question differently when the issue was tabled again. He admonished his comrades never to give up on peaceful struggle before he responded to the matter at hand. “We shall fight to the finish till the Ethiopian people are empowered, then we would apologize to them on a bended knee.”

November, last year, Dr. Negasso Gidada made similar apologies following which some gripes were heard against Siye dating back to the days when he held offices as minister of defense, the director of EFFORT, and board chairman for the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia and the Ethiopian Airlines.

In an interview with Awramba Times last January, Siye said, “The question is whether there were any grave mistakes made which I believe there were. I am ready to take responsibility for all wrongdoings during my days in those offices. And there is nothing to be ashamed of when apologizing to the Ethiopian people but I just feel the Ethiopian people are not ready to accept such apologies.”

In this last meeting Siye also said UJDP did not lose in the 2010 elections but EPRDF did.

    Never trust him. I sometimes even suspect that he pretending and playing that Chesse on us. awys, There is no way to accept and welcome such individual, i mean, if it's normal apology, okey. but if it's kind of game to get acceptance to be back in the game, stay where you are fagget.
    Ur the beast lool Do u remember ur move when u where with them. Even Meles was siding for Eriteria but u n some of ur friends are kind of working on doing all the favour for parts of the people ur from and through time to take them out, how does this sound? tell me, am not right lool

    As far as we know Siye was the main actor in EPLF/EPRDF untill he expelled from the party by his own comnrade, Meles. I don't care wether he is from Eritrea or Tigray. The important issue is responsible for the ruins/destruction human life and property and the current political problem facing our people home. No one has a position or legality to pardon his apology. He can't fool the Ethiopian people as simple as such. His dream is to revenge Meles, but he lost everything when he was on power. The only reason Siye got appreciation from Amharas is that he is against Meles. Period!

    Asmamaw Zeleke,
    Your logic does not make a sense, if his motive was making money, he could have been stayed as a minster in Meles TPLF party as a yes men like Simon and Seyoum? Or he could have been left his university education and country to make a green bucks like you in America or else where. I agree with you in one thing .under his command he could able to mobilize the Ethiopian army in a short period of time and get rid off the shabeyyan mafias invaders during 2000 badme war.

    Siye is trying to make a living by milking the fool diaspora cow. Please let him do what others, the likes of dr brhanu, are doing; milk some greenbucks by playing a victim's role, while we know, he was the top killer of the killing machine known as TPLF/EPRDF.
    Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me!

    I know that all the people who are saying bad things about Siye Abraha are ERITREANS! Yes, Eritreans fear the truth-that Siye Abraha is a REAL Ethiopian from TEMBIEN TIGRYA, Siye Abraha has the blood of Ras Alula Aba Nega running through his veins.
    He will defend Ethiopia from these Eritreans- Meles Zenawi, Bereket Simon, Yosef Hilawi, "Jamaica" Tedros hagos, tedros Adhanom- all of these areEritreans
    Siye is Ethiopian and is for Ethiopia.
    Why do you think Meles Zenawi had to send Helicopters and tanks to Tigray during the last election? Because this time, this year, even Tigray has woken up.
    From North to South, East to west- Ethiopia is saying NO! to Eritrean Meles and his eritrean banda friends.

    It is tru that meles Zenawi is eritrean from Adi Quala Eritrea and that iswhy he hates Siye Abraha.
    Siye Abraha is Ethiopian and defended Ethiopia when eritrea invaded Ethiopia's land during the Badme war. Meles Zenawi said it is better for eritrea to be safe than for Ethiopian childrne to be safe. Meles Zenawi gave away badme and Assab, meles Zenawi killed Haiyelom the hero general, Meles Zenawi killed Iyassu berhe the hero singer who sang a song to unite alll Ethiopians from every tribe during the Badme war. Meles Zenawi says now, his biggest regret in life is letting Eritreans be deported from Ethiopia.

    What?! Meles Zenawi's biggest eregret is letting Eritreans be deported from Ethiopia?! Aren't you the prime minister of Ethiopia? ISn't your biggest regret supposed to be that you, Meles Zenawi sat back and allowed thos poor children to be slaughtered in school by Shabia killers when Eritrea invaded Ethiopia? Shouldn't your biggest regret be that you didn't find a way to prevent that? No, you, Meles Zenai the Eritrean cry only for Eritrea, right? Then go home to Eritrea, even Tegaru are done with you now Meles. Dear, Ato Siye Abraha, thank you for this book and for your apology- We accept and we rejoice . Finally, you have told us the truth about Meles Zenawi.

    Yohannes,


    I totally agree with Yohannes and with all others who say that Meles Zenawi supporters and meles Zenawi himself is Eritrean. Siye Abraha is a true Ethiopian and people respect him from East to West North to South.


    Why is Meles Zenawi giving all the top spots to Eritreans like Tedros Adhanom and Bereket Simon? Because he and they are all Eritreans for Eritrea.


    Siye for Ethiopia, Ethiopians for Siye! CASE CLOSED!

    As Siye said it there is nothing wrong to ask apology. But, the bigger problem is Siye is no more in power, siye is now just anybody, he is not defence minster or any other official. Ambassador mohamod Dirir,(Culture and ........Minster) is in better postion than Siye. Valuable apology is an apology that comes while you are in power.

    Siye, didnot come in the opposition side for seeking "democracy". But Suddenly, Siye was expelled(withdraw himself)from TPLF. Does that make him hero?????

    Sometimes ago, He was struggling for Tigreans libation front. Even after quit sometime involved as an opposition party higher official, Still Siye is claiming that "he is not ready to give up Tigrians's land to Amharas". His mind is not ready to accept Expansionism.

    Gen. Siye is a victim of TPLF and Meles for not backing down for Shabia treat and Interest, fighting for all Ethiopians to bring justice, freedom and democracy in Ethiopia. Unfortunately his charisma, respect and heroism among by many Ethiopians including the military being a huge treat for Meles and his half Eritreans puppets. As a result we are witnessing unending war with Eritrea and Somalia.

    Siye and his comrade in arms systematic destruction of their own country Ethiopia is unmatched in world history. If apology gives him peace of mind he should do it, but not expecting to please Ethiopians. He was there when 100000 young Ethiopian perish in stupid Badma war, He was there when they looted out Ethiopian bank, he was there when they gave Aseb and the afar people to Eritrea, and he was there when they stole live aid money from the starving children of Tigry. Yes I support not to send you to jail or to the gas chamber with Meles, but, please do not expect forgiveness from us!!

    We the Ethiopian people accept your apology. In standing with us and not against us, you have shown us that you are a good, strong, brave leader.Ato Siye Abraha is the true son of Ethiopia! The true son of tembien! As they say in tigrinya, Siye Abraha-you are Wedi Alulua Aba nega- We Ethiopians choose YOU- not Meles Zenawi the Eritrean. Siye abraha-you are a real Ethiopian!

    Thank you Gash Siye Abraha... we have all read your book and we love it! The truth about Meles, Sebhat nega, bereket Simon- all these Eritreans. You have told us the truth about them and everywhere in tigray, tegru re talking! No body reads meles' book, we only readSiye's Book!

    No more meles, no more eritreans
    Ethiopia for Ethiopians!
    Gash Siye , please write more books and tell us more truth- we need it.


    I am glad Siye Abraha is writing these books and telling us the actual truth- all meles ever says is Assab vbelong s to Eritrea, Badme for Eritrea, Ethiopia for Eritrea etc. At least Siye is a real Ethiopian. I'm geza tegaru and I vote Siye.
