Deplorable landslide is what happens when free market in which unrestricted market competition for service/ goods providers and ultimate choice for the mass is guaranteed. flood of rat currying over Bereket Semeons unsold but rats incubating books. Two years before Bereket released a book entitled The Tale of The Two Elections, which I am certain none of you have read it nor had the dispose, with extravaganza launching ceremony accompanied by celebrities and officials. Two years after the then deputy Minister Ermias Legesse who had been staunch cadre of EPRDF at the higher caliber has released a book unveiling untold faces and critical networks of the party from where he is assumed to be harbored. Case 1 Access to Berekets book be it abroad or home was not a problem. It had party and government promotion and market facilitating arms. self appointed public figures from the media personalities were cautiously chosen and bestowed their unreserved appreciation to the writer and the book as well. the book was distributed in the country and abroad to embassies hoping astonishing turnover from the diaspora community. Point 1 Bereket had unrestricted right and privilege to publish, promote and sell regardless of where and when to make his product available. The people both home and abroad was provided with utter opportunity to buy him. Few weeks before I learned unbearably heart-breaking (to the writer) news after an insider disclosed what happened to Bereket Books stored in embassy with ambitious presumption for his book sell. Its said that After Saudi embassy, which resides next to Ethiopian Embassy in london, had reported to the city municipality about rats currying allover to the extent of concurring the compound that was allegedly from Ethiopian embassy, police discovered with little or no attentive investigation that a huge store full of unsold books of Bereket that was assumed to be for diaspora market was the root cause and ordered the embassy to get rid the books for mutual benefit. none in the diaspora except the rats had the appetite to leaf over the books. The bottom line is that the tragic scenario at the embassy is a point in case to explicit the manifestation of TPLFites survival potential in an environment where free market of service/goods providers and free choice of individuals. Case 2 his former deputy Ermias and Tesfaye Gebreab, the pioneer in disclosing exclusive secrets of the front, has released their books in an environment where They had no shred of opportunity to promote and supported by affirmative market facilitation. Market and Publication in the country was unbearably forbidden and people reading the books were not secure to publicly read and share the books. Still Tesfayes Yederasiw Mastawesha dissemination scale was paramount and I hope people are sniffing around Ermiass books. The idea of molding a closed society and communal thinking obedient to public manipulation orchestrated by dictating political system is the only they have as a risk survival theory. in a political system where Bereket and Emias are allowed to unrestricted market competition, the mass opts to pick whats for reading and the rats chose whats for currying on.
