Meles's coup d'etat - Quoreta by Bonapartism (Part II) 



by X-TPLF member, Mulugeta Leul, in memory of May 28, 01 
Quoreta is a system where you hit first the top chief commander in the field. 
By doing that the bottom have nothing to communicate & fight with, thereby, 
is easy to attack the rest soldiers in the field. I equated this Quoreta to 
Meles's manipulative way of becoming dominant in power by expelling the 12 
dissident group called hard-liners (Part I). The people of Ethiopia in 
general, the people of Tigray in particular have lost their leaders and it is 
on going process by the insider Meles. The change is not about Adua, TPLF, 
Tigray, or Ethiopia, wake up it is about Eritrea and CIA. Huge responsibility 
lies on all of us for the little monster came to power with our own blood, 
thereby endangering our beloved Ethiopia. Civil disobedience is one way to 
stand on the way of Meles till we die. Most of what I wrote in Part I became 
reality, even the pure guess, I guessed about the use of Assab by Ethiopia. 
Now I am writing this article reading all what have been written in a 
Reporter by the government of PM Meles (01/05/2001), by the Audit Commission 
(05/05/01), by the dissident group (03/05/01) and watching the Cadre video 
and read their resolutions. Most people know about the dissident group's 
position, therefore, I will start with the Audit commission's findings and 
conclusions. The Audit Commission (AC) - I am so proud to witness, TPLF had 
such a strong Audit Commission which looks after the law and order of TPLF. 
Consider the AC, as the Supreme Court (Sebar) of Ethiopia which is the 
vanguard of the constitution of Ethiopia. AC verified, there was a back and 
forth meetings between Tewelde and Seyoum many times, as both groups grow to 
differ in their ideology. It was suggested by Tewelde to make a dialog 
between the two groups through delegations. At one point though, Seyoum told 
Tewelde that either two of your representatives or all of you must come to 
the meeting of the left over majority, if not the majority will continue the 
meeting without the dissident group. At that point Tewelde told Seyoum, their 
meeting will be illegal to continue with out them, because they don't fulfill 
the requirement of any meetings. There after, their relationship was 
disconnected. My question is this - Who is to blame here? The most important 
point, the AC confirmed was the legality of the petition made by the 
dissident group to call a Congress (GubaAe), the illegality of Meles (the 
left over majority) to expel the 12 dissidents and the AC also warned the 
danger of the decision to TPLF as organization. The AC concluded the decision 
to expel the 12 dissident was illegal and undemocratic. The left over CC 
members don't have the power to expel even one member (forget about 12), for 
2/3 (20 members out of 30) were not present at their meeting. This law stayed 
in effect since it got created and no amendments was done on it as far as the 
AC knows. This is the bottom line of all arguments in which the Meles article 
failed for purpose not to touch the topic, because Meles stood above the law. 
Mr. PM Meles, have you heard this: "NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW." Finally, the AC 
forbid and made a plea to both groups, not to make any further meetings, till 
the Congressional meeting is going to be held as soon as possible. The answer 
of Meles to the findings and to the plea of AC was to belittle the paper 
saying he received a piece of paper. Mr. PM Meles, hundreds of thousands of 
Tigrians perished in 26 years for that piece of paper, to secure the futurity 
of our country. The martyrs have concealed for what they died for in that 
paper. Where is your civility to your words in the name of martyrs then if 
you consider things as such? To remind the reader, the AC went to Mekelle to 
clarify to the Cadres about their meeting being illegal (Mr. Chaekol), but 
the insider Cadres and Meles rejected their plea again, and they continued 
the meeting without the blessing of the AC, the Supreme law and order keeper 
of TPLF. Meles's Position on the crisis - A lot of mambo jumbo was written 
about the wind storm of revolution, about the new stage, quick development, 
revolutionary democracy, democratic centralism, how TPLF over come the 
problems created in the 70's with Gidey and Aregawie. Yes we know what 
happened in the 70's in the name of Marxist-Leninst League of Tigray which 
wouldn't be used at this time by PM Meles. He should have to flip-flop like a 
computer from 0 to 1 and from 1 to 0 to score his goal. What ever Gidey was 
singing at that time, has been sang at this moment by Meles. There is no new 
stage, it is the same old staff. Meles also wanted to take the credit of 10 
years development seen in Ethiopia and anybody knows it is a team work. I 
never read anything about any of the dissident group claiming that they are 
the greatest leaders of all, without them any meetings will not be conducted 
(page 11 of Meles's report). That is a total exaggeration on behalf of 
Meles's report. What makes me so sad about PM Meles is the choice of his 
words, such as yebeketa, yebasebesa, bututawie astesaseb, meltie, lebnat, 
zerafienat, sesietamenat, lemesenteak (TPLF & FPRDF) etc., etc., it was 
pretty ugly words to some one who leads the nation. His words is not only 
offensive to his comrades who have been fighting along with him, some of them 
even before him for 26 years, but it also is an insult to Ethiopians. Page 9 
states on the agreement by both groups, for the meeting to continue the next 
morning, but it omits, there was a back and forth meetings between Tewelde 
and Seyoum, as the Audit Commission confirmed it. This statement points out 
two things: there was no walk-out with which Meles used to incriminate the 
group in his first drama and there was a back and forth meetings between 
Tewelde and Seyoum as the dissident group said it, to solve the problem, as 
traditionally being used to solve such a problem when it arises in TPLF. In 
the middle of this, in the meetings of Tewelde and Seyoum, there was an order 
given by the left over CC members to come to the meeting or else kind of 
approach, unfortunately, the dissident group failed to understand of that 
order being the start of the coup d'etat by Meles - quoreta by bonapartizm. 
Meles indicated that TPLF as organization became so rotten, the ruling 
character changed, corruption and undemocratic rug opinion became slippery 
that his government was going down the hill in cyclical way which became a 
test to his government that he has to save the organization - TPLF. 
Therefore, his merely majority should wipe out the dust which was accumulated 
through the years, so that a quick development is to be achieved. To do that, 
the left over CC members started the 10 years of giemgema (evaluation) with 
out the dissident group, to enable the coming Congressional meeting (page 4). 
Other things just became history as they unfold, with Meles's illegality 
continued contrary to the decision made by the Audit Commission. What ever 
happened with Cadres in Mekelle, in Addis Abeba, with sister organizations, 
in the parliament, thereafter, was just a successful drama of Meles's coup 
d'etat against his own comrades by illegal means. Don't you think this is a 
premeditated coup d'etat? To save the organization Meles stood above the law. 
Meles chose to save the organization from the pure Tigrians who created it by 
breaking all the rules and regulations of TPLF (Cadre Video). Democratic VS 
undemocratic, revolutionist VS anti-revolutionist, corrupted VS uncorrupted 
has been written in Meles's article repeatedly boring to exhaustion just as 
philosophical argument, nothing realistic to say the least. It was so 
repetitive, philosophical, antagonistic and not to the point of what I want 
to read head on to the issue. To give you an example, how many times does the 
article states about the rotten idea of the dissident group, in that they 
wanted to split TPLF and EPRDF into two (behulaet lemesentaek). The answer in 
my opinion: If the dissident group wanted to do what ever Meles is 
incriminating them now, they had an ample opportunity to do just that before 
the Ethio-Eritrean war, when the trust on Meles by the Ethiopian people, as 
Ethiopian leader was ZERO. To me they bowed to the rule of law of TPLF, 
thereby endangering the well being of Ethiopia. In this case, dissidents 
group are also accountable for their lousy actions endangering the well being 
of Ethiopia. The left over CC members wanted to explain everything to the 
Cadres first, before they call a Congress. I think, Meles premeditated coup 
d'etat was well planned by the CIA during his two week visit to USA. It 
continued without no stop to it, meetings after meetings were held in Mekelle 
and Addis Abeba with Cadres and EPRDF. Meles lobby & intimidation for support 
paid off. He got it from the Cadres within Cadres, from EPRDF and from the 
murdered Kinfe. Talk about illegality and coup d'etat, he got it right, TPLF 
got divided into two & will never be the same again. Adios Amigos, before you 
know what hit you, a coup d'etat was completed successfully. Kinfe - the 
mystery man is gone before anybody else. The death of Kinfe is as mysterious 
as General Hayelom or General Berhe. I don't think, his death is just another 
personal attack. First of all, he betrayed the dissident group. Kinfe & 
Mulugeta Chaeltu, walked out from the meeting saying this meeting is not 
going to go nowhere, in that if CC members want to punish them for the walk 
out, they were willing to accept. If there was justice to walking out, the 
first to be expelled should have been Kinfe and Mulugeta. My hypothesis on 
the mystery behind the death of the security chief is this: Kinfe went out 
from the meeting, knowing not to be part of the coup d'etat, as the chief 
security of the country, he knew what Meles was up to. Now that Meles has 
scored his goal, he doesn't need the security chief himself, for Kinfe is 
pure Ethiopian who is going to question about the integration of 
Ethio-Eritrean economy (M/General Samora should learn a lesson from Kinfe, 
General Taddesse, L/General Tsadkan & M/General Abebe). After all, rumors has 
it Kinfe met CIA and Shaebian Intelligence in USA before his death, their 
topic included Ethio-Eritrean economical integration and the use of Assab by 
Ethiopia. What ever said then in USA, could be what ever haunted him back 
home. Kinfe has a lot of power in his hands, he can overthrow Meles 
overnight. Don't you think, Meles has enough motives (knowing of Kinfe's 
loyalty to Ethio-Eritrean relationship) to get rid of Kinfe from the stage of 
the drama of Meles? Rumors has it, Meles already imported about 200 Shaebian 
military Intelligence to Ethiopia. Do you think Meles could do that if Kinfe 
is alive? Think about it. Yes, it was indicated, the killer was not 
associated with the dissident group. The killer himself is educated & has 3 
children. He argued to get a job in Mesfin engineering etc. Kinfe is a chief 
security which has nothing to do with Mesfin engineering. That argument which 
precipitated a day earlier wouldn't be a very good case to kill Kinfe the 
next morning, throwing everything the killer accomplished through the years 
for that silly argument. Would it? It is another cover up, people, to kill 
Kinfe, which does not sell totally. It is the same cover up as associating 
our hero General Hayelom with prostitution and associating our hero General 
Berhe with his wife being jealous to kill her husband and herself. Who ever 
you are, where ever you came from, STOP the madness & the killings of our 
brothers and sisters. Enough is enough! Killing Dr. Martin Luther King in USA 
didn't solve anything to the on going revolution of blacks in USA, the march 
goes on. Meles hates the Internet where the freedom of speech is going till 
now. He hated the dissident group for using this option exposing him openly 
to the public. In 21 Century, there is no where to hide. Internet is here to 
stay, time to get used to it. If you can't stand the heat Mr. PM Meles, stay 
out of the kitchen and stop cooking of whatever you are cooking with Isayas 
and CIA. It is not tasty at all. Oh YES the Cadres - Did I miss something 
which I don't know about TPLF since 1975. The magnified role of Cadres at 
this moment is very confusing. Cadres role is to bring ideas from top to the 
bottom and ideas of people from bottom to top like a messenger or Telalakie. 
What is that then, it irritates me so much about the bully cadres, who are 
acting and deciding the same as Politburo and Central Committee, on pretext 
of a cover up of the so called our organization is in great danger, while the 
organization is almost equally divided into two (15 to 13). As Meles 
indicated in his divisive way of handling things, he said: "The Cadres are 
the last defense (dufaE) to save TPLF (first day), and he can't push Emba 
Areadom, in that TPLF will never vanish & he can't do it himself if he wants 
too(next day, Video)." Are the Cadres capable of analyzing the words of 
contradictions of Meles? I watched the Video twice - it was kids play in 
which I am ashamed of as a Tigrian. As a representative of AC, Mr. Chaekol 
said the meeting of Cadres was illegal and he asked to be stopped, and at 
that moment one of the insider cadre said: "it is impossible to stop it, in 
that the meeting must continue." No more discussion on this issue, Meles 
jumped to the next issue, ignoring the law and regulations of TPLF stated by 
Mr. Chaekol. Case closed. However might have been, it was the last scheme of 
Meles's coup d'etat. I concluded, the Meles & Sebhat Cadres within Cadres 
were so strong or the consciousness of Cadres is very low, in that they 
wanted to handle the situation within their narrow insider clicks and hidden 
Cadres with low-level-of-self-esteem. That was where the weak link was found 
and that was where Meles & Sebhat finished their coup d'etat -quoreta by 
bonapartism. Other things are just a follow up of events that evolved from 
democracy to dictatorial repression and chaos. Developments of events since 
the coup d'etat 1) 41 university students in Addis, one college student in 
Mekelle and Kinfe the mighty security chief have been killed. 2) Almost 2000 
students have been arrested. 3) Members of the Opposition party, about 140 of 
them, and humanitarian organizations including Professor Mesfin & Dr. Berhanu 
have been imprisoned. 4) So many Tigrians have been sucked from their 
positions. 5) General Taddesse resigned from his position in disobeying 
Meles's scheme. 6) Rumors has it, Meles met Isayas in Saudi-Arabia, and I 
personally believe it. 7) Religious leaders of Ethiopia and Eritrea have been 
running around to fulfill the mission of Meles-CIA-Isayas in 
Kenya-Adigrat-Adi Keyih-Zalambessa-Senafe, before even the decomposing body 
of the dead heroes of our brothers and sisters have been buried with dignity. 
8) Rumors has it that Shaebian military Intelligence is infiltrating into 
Ethiopia (around 200 of them) with the blessing of Meles, a very good warning 
for the Ethiopian Defense Forces & Ethiopian security Intelligence to wake 
up, smell the rotten coffee & act before it gets out of hand, for they are 
the most to suffer at last. 9) The speech of Isayas at the 10th anniversary 
of independence of Eritrea is also another warning, if what ever Meles and 
Isayas are cooking is not successful, Eritrea might begin war on the pretext 
of TSZ. 10) L/General Tsadkan & M/General Abebe have been sucked from their 
positions. M/General Samora - you are next, don't gloat, he is just using you 
the same as Kinfe till your time is up. These all is happening in short time, 
before our own eyes, in the name of US interest in the horn of Africa, by 
being CIA agents (Meles & Isayas) and in the interest of Eritrea and Egypt. 
Think about last year feelings as Ethiopian and asses your feelings now. That 
is why, the war of 40 years in general within Ethiopia and Eritrea became 
senseless and useless, according to USA and European speeches. What kind of 
quick development is PM Meles going to bring us then, if it is not for the 
quick development of Eritrea taking them out from their misery (1/3 of 
Eritrean population is in starvation). If you are going to be bound to IMF, 
World Bank, British Intelligence and CIA, then you are bending down with the 
whole masses of Ethiopia to fulfill imperialist demands in their own taste. 
Ethiopia is condemned to live in POVERTY, HUNGER and STARVATION. Ethiopia has 
the right to use Abbay and Assab as it is our resources, which are the bottom 
line of our problem. Meles is the wrong mixed up in the head Ethio-Eritrean, 
in the wrong country to stand for the interest of Ethiopia, be it with Assab, 
territorial dispute or Abbay. Any thing else is just a bluff to fill up the 
empty pocket, by exposing the Ethiopian people to disease, hunger and 
starvation. When your time comes, you run with full pocket of money that have 
been developed in your portfolio, the same as Megistu, till then hide as much 
as you can in Swiss Bank the same as King Haile Sellassie, you never know 
when you need the money till you die without it. We came empty handed, we 
pass away empty handed. Shame on you - African leaders. Finally, after the 
coup d'etat is accomplished successfully, after the wave of the wind calmed 
down, after the dust has been wiped out crystal clean in the taste of Meles, 
the Melesians are going to call the Congress (GubaAe). The preparation is 
under way. What is the use of a Congress from now on after the damage has 
been done irreversibly. It will be as irrelevant as the Cadre meetings in 
Mekelle or Addis Abeba. As Page 17 indicates, the meeting is going to be a 
show off, of the theatrical strength of Meles's coup d'etat in the name 
bonapartism, to make us believe what they did (Meles and the puppy Cadres) 
was right. Good luck. In my conclusion, I would like to emphasize to the left 
over CC members, to the Cadres, to TPLF/EPRDF led of Meles Government and 
mainly CIA, for their accountability of the whole mess created in TPLF, for 
that case is going to create more chaos (which is a time bomb) to our beloved 
country - Ethiopia. The people of Ethiopia are just watching you as sleepy 
lions, watching you - Mr. PM Meles, where the hell you are heading from here 
on, for the Ethiopian masses consciousness is very high and any bad move will 
endanger your power which you are very eager to hold on to. Your time is 
almost finished. Recommendation: At this time in point, it is appropriate to 
ask PM Meles to resign from his power, if he has any sense and love left for 
Ethiopia, but we know he is not going to. We ask the people of Ethiopia to 
take measures into their own hands. In my part of disobedience, I decide not 
to participate in any celebration of TPLF/EPRDF till the coup d'etat is 
reversed, which includes May 31 in Ottawa in which I have been invited to as 
a guest by the Ethiopian embassy in Ottawa to celebrate the 10th anniversary 
of Shaebian EPRDF. Thanks but no thanks. It is the least I can do in my 
authority at this time in point. Show your disobedience to Meles's 
government, where ever you are. Be counted.
