Be Earnest and Repent
Be earnest and repent!!
By Hidase Winner
“Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?” He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hide.” And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?" (NIV Bible, Genesis 3: 8-11)
I new some people who were once good political figures in organizing public discussion at least for the university community right after the fall of the Derg regime. Among others Dr. Taye is the first to be mentioned. As a new and energetic professor in the university, early 1990, he was the most loved and respected instructor at AAU. He did a good job organizing an open dialogue regarding the past, current and future Ethiopian politics. He also sacrified his time and energy leading Ethiopia Teacher Association in the right direction. He fought with the merciless party, EPRDF. He did a lot… However, his current contribution in destabilizing CUD is discrediting what he positively contributed in the past.
Ato Hailu Shawel, where are you? Why are you hiding yourself from your supporters? Have you eaten from the “tree”? Ato Hailu said, “The person that I put with me gave me some “fruit” from the tree, and I ate it, so I hide"
Dr. Taye, what is this you have done?" Dr Taye said, "Shaleka deceived me, and I ate. “
As the Good Lord says to his people, “those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent” (NIV Bible Revelation 4:19), I also urge you to give ear to your people. Those who loved you because you scarified a lot and elected to be a leader, are commenting and challenging you as a process of learning. Be advised, repent your mistake and join the mass.
