1-2-4. Cause Diaspora Ethiopians to form meaningful organizations, that democratically elect their executives and place in the executive liaison officers who are either seconded or appointed by Kinijit Ethiopia and who will link them with the major movement in Ethiopia.

 

Tactics to Strategy 1-2-4.

 

1-2-4-1. Ask Ethiopians in the Diaspora to organize as supporters of Ethiopian Democracy that respects the vote of the 27 million Ethiopians who in the in the May 15, 2005 national elections overwhelming elected the Kinijit Party to govern Ethiopia, and who oppose the Woyane and EPRDF party that disregarded the wishes of the votes. When 49% of the voters elected the Kinijit to power, about 17% others had elected UEDF and other parties who are opposed to Woyane tyranny.

 

1-2-4-2.  Place shame on those in the Diaspora who might identify themselves as parties while they do not have party representatives that physically operate in Ethiopia. Any Ethiopian in the Diaspora must be content in being a supporter, until he/she goes to Ethiopia to physically participate in the struggle there.

 

1-2-4-3. Ask Ethiopians in all countries including the neighboring countries of Ethiopia, the Sudan, Kenya, Somalia, Djibouti, Yemen, Saudi Arabia to organize and to examine the workings of the governments in their domicile, and to try to establish linkages with the same. Supporters of Ethiopian Democracy will have better chances of infiltrating Ethiopia through its boarders.

 

1-2-4-5. Cause Kinijit supporters in the Diaspora to recognize what it can do.

 

a) Strengthen the kinijit movement in Ethiopia (by sending financial, material, and moral support,- show support via media outlets such as radio, internet and print media; emphasize the beauty of the vision and mission of Kinijit. Think Kinijit, talk Kinijit, and walk Kinijit. Hold seminars by Kinijit for Kinijit and others. Publish on Kinijit website.)

 

b) Lobby governments bodies (legislators, administrators, and other agencies) in the countries where we live to do good things for Ethiopia.

 

c) Organize and implement demonstrations in host countries to show to ourselves our devotion to the cause of Kinijit.

 

d) Cause and support the implementation of the battery of other tactics that have been described in Ethiopian Democracy.

 

1-2-4-6. Ask the Diaspora to implement “Hizbawi Imbita” and say no to a fragmented movement by belonging to different organizations of the same Kinijit Party.

 

a) If the leadership of Diaspora Kinijit is found wanting, it should be replaced by due process and not through usurpation of power.

 

b) All supporters of the Kinijit Party must support Ethiopian Democracy and belong to a unified support unit of the Kinijit Party, which has been overwhelmingly elected by the voters of Ethiopia.

 

c) The unified Diaspora Kinijit support must have an executive in which there is a "lead liaison officer". The "lead liaison officer" must be the individual or the chairperson of individuals to whom the Kinijit Party leader in Ethiopia has given "ewqina". Since there is only one Kinijit Party there shall be only one "lead liaison officer", all other folks to whom ewqinna might be given being subordinate to him/her. The “lead liaison officer” is answerable to the executive in matters that are asked of it to implement, and referable to Kinijit Ethiopia for infractions or improprieties if they were committed. The ”lead liaison officer” shall be given the right to depose a Diaspora chairman, if such chairman operated outside the spirit of Kinijit, and the elected vice chairman will serve as interim chairman until the next election period.

 

d) Kinijit support units in the Diaspora shall elect their executive bodies democratically, and place the "lead liaison officer" in the executive for linking efforts in Ethiopia with those in the Diaspora. The Diaspora does not recognize rule by viceroy or "enderasse" and shall regard any and all individuals who claim to be leaders of the Diaspora by means of viceroyalty as enemies of Kinijit, its spirit and purposes, and certainly as antidemocratic individuals.

 

e) All parties, whatever their names, who do not accept the leadership of Kinijit do not respect the voters of Ethiopia. Worse, they belittle the achievement of the Ethiopian people that culminated in the May 15, 2005 elections.

 

1-2-4-7. Ask Diaspora Kinijit party supporters across the globe to organize, and through their executives organization will network and form a world-wide Diaspora executive body.

 

1-2-4-8. Ask the Diaspora to be conversant about Ethiopian Democracy as a way of making them relate to the inhabitants of the entire Ethiopian Nation and to its ideals and principles.

 

1-2-4-9. Ask the Diaspora to identify and give an award to a deserving individual in each support group in recognition to his/her effort at translating the strategies and tactics of Ethiopian Democracy into action.

 

1-2-4-10. Ask the Diaspora to establish an investment fund (IF) such that their monetary support will be durable. The IF should be separate from the political and non-profit effort, and funds sent to it must be clearly identified as separate. Yet, if the same contributors gave a portion to the IF, and the fund is invested by means of useful instruments, the chances are high that the funds will grow as will the influence of the stakeholders.

 

1-2-4-11 Ask individuals in the Diaspora who engage in dissemination of information to be vigilant about the veracity of their information. Such "journalist', should not find themselves in the leadership role of any political party if they wish to be credible.
