Bewke since u'r on history & events ...& if u got time to read comments...let me share u...an event..on Tilahun funeral ...pres.Girma invited & he got a podium to say sthg ..about Tilahun & he said ' I respect Tilahun not only by his talent but also his courage to sing in oromiffa which is unwelcome by then...' when I watched this, I was disgusted & shocked b/c An elderly man ,a president of all nations & nationality of Ethiopia, tries to plant grudge,hatred & divisions among young generations instead of unifying & constructive words . Anyways, i almost concluded that our pple honesty & integrity is more or less CONDITIONAL.
