When Shaebia blocked about 70, 000 starving Tigrians from entering Sudan in the 1984 famine, Seye and his comrades did nothing, and as a result, about 50, 000 Tigrians were left to die both from starvation and bombardment by Derg Air force. ጅግና ህዝቡ ከም ሃመማ እንዳረገፈ ሪኡ ከምዘይራኣየ ሰኽ ኣይብልን! ልዕሊ 50 ሽሕ ህዝቢ ክሞት እንተሎ ስጉምቲ ዘይወስድ መራሒ መራሒ ክኾን ኣይኽእልን። ለኽባጥ እምበር ጅግና ተባሂሉ ኣይፅዋዕን። ስየ ይኹን ካልኦት መራሕቲ ወያነ ከዳዓት እምበር ጀጋኑ ኣይኮኑን። ከምዙይ ተኾይኑማ፤ መራሕቲ ቅንጅት'ውን ጀጋኑ ተባሂሎም ክፅውዑ ኣለዎም ማለት'ዩ። ንናይ ኦጋዴን ተገንጸልቲ ስለዝድግፉ ዘለዉ!
- Seye and his comrades are the reason why Ethiopia is landlocked.
- Seye and his comrades did nothing to stop Shaebia from killing poor Tigrians during and after the fall of Derg.
- Too late for Seye to act as a patriot for he is one of the engineers of the separation of Eritrea from Ethiopia.
- TPLF did more harm than good to Tigrians and Ethiopians, where Seye was one of the decision makers.
- A genuine hero is one who stands and defends the integrity and sovereignty of his country, and Seye did none of that.
- A genuine hero would rather die than allow his country become land locked and Seye is not one.
- Seye allowed Shaebia and Eritreans to be the sole beneficiaries of the sacrifices of tens of thousands of Tigrians.
Seye displaced and separated Tigrian families. Those families that were affected by Seye and his comrades decisions know what I am talking about. They are still suffering and living thousands of kilometers apart from each other. This doesn't make him a hero. Having been one of the architects of the secession of Eritrea doesn't make him a hero.
He would have been a hero if he opposed the decision of his organization to cede Eritrea . He would have been a hero if he stood and fought for the integrity and sovereignty of Ethiopia. In my judgement, no one in the leadership of TPLF is a hero. They all fought to facilitate the secession of our northern most province thereby land locking our ancient nation. This is the only achievement of their 17 years of struggle. They made it easier for Shaebia and enemies of Ethiopia to declare victory. Shaebia would have been completely annihilated by Derg's "NEBELBAL" and our security and integrity would not been compromised. TPLF played a major role in defending Shaebia during "Selahata Worar" and I am sure Seye was there to rescue Shaebia , and as you all know, taking part in a fight to defend and rescue a separatist group doesn't make one a hero, in fact that makes him a traitor.
And now, if he(Seye) has been seen with individuals like Berhanu Nega and his supporters, well, I might as well start "Salsay Woyane." I say enough is enough. Tigrians have suffered during your 17 years as a guerrilla fighter. You don't represent Tigrians and it is time for you and all TPLF leaders to apologize for the suffering that the people of Tigray endured during the past 30 years. It is time for you and your comrades to leave Tigrians alone and go to a retirement village.
You guys screwed up big time. Ethiopia's national security is at risk because of your stupid decision to cede Eritrea endangering the livelyhood of Ethiopians. We have no ports because of you, Mr. Seye Abraha. We are landlocked because of your poor decision, Mr. Seye Abraha. Do you understand the economic impact of being land locked? Now Ethiopia is at the mercy of its hostile neighbors for its imports and exports. Do you understand that denying Ethiopians an access to the sea is the crime of the Millennium?
Is Seye a hero?
According to Miriam Webster's Dictionary, Hero is: 1 a: a mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability b: an illustrious warrior c: a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities d: one that shows great courage
A hero is a man or woman (then often called a heroine), traditionally the protagonist of a story, legend or saga, commonly possessed of powers far beyond that of a standard human, which enable him or her to perform some truly extraordinary, beneficial deed (an "heroic deed") for which he or she is famous. These powers are sometimes not only of the body but also of the mind. Heroes are typically opposed by villains. ( http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/hero)
In the last 30 years, the people of Tigray have been through a lot. Over 100, 000 Tigrians were displaced by Derg and forcefully taken to south western Ethiopia. Many of them didn't make it to Tigray. A number of them crossed the border to Sudan and many of them died on their way back to Tigray. Thousands of them died while they were aboard the Russian made Antonov and many of them were killed by the locals upon arrival. Tigrians were paying the ultimate sacrifice while Seye and company were defending Shaebia's last line of defence. Tigrians died in the thousands while TPLF leaders were busy trying to save Shaebia's stronghold, Nakfa. While Tigrian farmers were dying or being displaced by Derg, the future of Tigray, the best and the brightest were being slaughtered in Eritrea while trying to save Shaebia . If seye was a man of courage, if Seye is a hero, as many of you portray him to be, he should have made a courageous decision and at least tried to stop the deployment of Tigrian Tegadelti to Eritrea.
Seye and his comrades created a monster, as a result, the people of Tigray are still under the clouds of war. Seye can't tell us, after committing the crime of the millennium, that he is for the sovereignty of Ethiopia. He should have raised this issue right after the fall of the Derg in 1991 and allowed all Ethiopians to make a decision on the fate of Eritrea.
Seye was in power when his party was fighting for and endorsing the secession of Eritrea from its motherland; therefore, I don't know about you, but he is not my hero, for denying Ethiopia an access to the sea is not truly an Extraordinary, beneficial deed (heroic deed) to the people of Ethiopia!
