Objective 3. Organize a government that is duly elected by the people, by considering the Kinijit party leaders as the first democratically elected leaders in Ethiopia, and administer Ethiopian Democracy firmly and fairly and bestow justice to all with malice to none.

              Strategy to goal 1-Objective 3

1-3-1. Establish a government with three co-equal branches that is dedicated to the implementation of the mission of Ethiopian Democracy, and in which 1) one branch legislates bills in light of Ethiopian Democracy, 2) another branch executes the bills generated by the legislator and the constitution that enshrines the contents of Ethiopia Democracy, and 3) a third branch interprets the laws and adjudges any disputes between individuals, and individuals and groups, and disagreements between agencies and branches of government.

Tactics to strategy 1-3-1-1. The tactics given here provide a brief outline.

1-3-1-1 After an Ethiopian army that submits to the principles of Ethiopian Democracy is ready and willing to submit to the will of the people, ask the Kinijit Party Leader to preside over a transitional government (TG) comprising of CUDP UEDF, and EPRDF members, in the proportion of votes they received in the May 15, 2005, elections [49%, for Kinijit, 34% for EPRDF and afflicted parties, 17% for UEDF and other parties], for a period of two years. Kinijit should provide the president and vice president of the TG.

1-3-1-2 Ask the President of the TG to empanel a National Conference by assembling representatives from each Aweraja of Ethiopia . The conference determines the form of government that the people wish to be governed by. They also cause a committee to draft a constitution which they will improve and modify before they pass it by a two third majority vote.

1-3-1-3 The TG will dispense all government functions by using all pertinent parts of the laws and constitution of EPRDF which are consistent with Ethiopian Democracy. And the TG will prepare an Electoral board and electoral procedure consistent with Ethiopian Democracy.

1-3-1-4 Hold elections so that the party which received the most votes will form a government and will replace the TG. The wining party will have an executive body which becomes the executive branch of the government, while all members elected to parliament will form the legislative branch; one representative from each Aweraja in the house of the Congress, and two representatives from each state in the house of the Senate. Representatives to Congress shall be elected every three years while those to the Senate will be elected every six years. The president of the executive will nominate candidates for the Judiciary which upon consent of Senate will be appointed.

1-3-2 Establish that the work of the government is to defend the nation from external attack, internal fracturing, and to maintain peace and provide justice to all.

1-3-2-5. Since the current TPLF/EPRDF regime has been voted out of office (it received less than 30% of the votes, whereas the Kinijit party had received 49%) it is clear that the regime is illegal and is an enemy of Ethiopia . Therefore Ethiopians reserve the right to regain their freedom from this usurper regime by all means necessary. Those who prefer to pursue armed struggle and who do so to enshrine Ethiopian Democracy ought to be supported. All Ethiopians should rally behind pan-Ethiopian opposition parties and groups who clearly stand for respecting the vote of Ethiopians made in May 15, 2005, and accept the Kinijit Party as the one elected by the people.

1-3-3. Establish a founder’s association that places the Kinijit Party leaders who were elected by the overwhelming majority of Ethiopia in the May 15, 2005 election

The only rational for division into administrative regions should be the delivery of better service to inhabitants. Such would be achieved by dividing Ethiopia into no more than 13 administrative regions.

1-4-1-2. None of the administrative states of Ethiopia shall be given as its name the name of any of the language groups of Ethiopia . Giving the name of a language to a state will result in wrongly bringing about nationalistic feeling based on language instead of based on Ethiopianness.
