Draft: Tactics, to strategies to Objectives 1and 2 of Goal2 (Economic and Social.

All are invited to contribute to this draft instrument of Ethiopian Democracy.  Twenty seven million Ethiopians overwhelmingly voted the nonviolent Kinijit leaders as the leaders of Ethiopia in the may 15, 2005 elections. PM Zenawi and his party have trampled on the nonviolent movement and disrespect the vote of Ethiopians.  The nonviolent movement ought to transition to “hizbawi imbita.”  This condition constitutes a major pressure to the establishment of Ethiopian Democracy, the vision- mission-goals-objectives-strategies-tactics system, which is based on the manifesto of the Kinijit Party.
The more the contributors to the document the better the document and the greater the ownership have toward it. For brief descriptions on rights and contracts refer to (http://aboutethiopia.com/c12-preemption-is-a-false-right.htm).

Part E2: Objective to Goal 2, Economic and Social Goal.

[General comments on tactics: The tactics designed to meet economic and social goals of Ethiopian Democracy require that its principles be applied with integrity, clarity, credibility, firmness and fairness. Moreover, the tactics for achieving results from Economic and Social goal will involve correct interactions between the private and public sector.

The public sector (that portion of society which is controlled by national, state, aweraja and wereda administrations) will render universal and critical services that are important to national defense against external and internal enemies: military for human based infractions, police for local law and order, Water Authority for climate based drought or flooding effects, and taxation to facilitate the implementation of social contract between individuals and their government. In addition to industries and service that the public sector would need on a continuing basis such as factories for manufacturing war implements and armaments, the public sector may at times of emergency take over the management of the private sector type economic activities. However, under peaceful conditions the public sector should outsource economic activities including the manufacture of armaments to the private sector and privatize economic activity that way.

Ethiopia’s Federal and State Water Power agencies organized to perform water related projects will educated all Ethiopians about the historical animosity by Egypt against the use by Ethiopians of the tributaries of the Nile River. Because of this animosity Egypt provides support to any organization that will destabilize Ethiopia and prohibit the nation from having meaningful and durable progress. Ethiopians should be educated on this constant and relentless animosity by Egypt and be at the ready to defend their interests. However, care must be taken to make a distinction between the Egyptian government and the nice people of Egypt.

Ethiopians should be mindful of the fact that the large illiteracy of the population should be reduced, and that the farmers should be encouraged through economic incentives and other appropriate tactics to improve their productivity.]

            Strategy to goal 2-Objective 1

            2-1-1. Establish a government agency that would distribute land to Ethiopians. [Because confiscation of land or property is against the mission of Ethiopian Democracy, which validates individual rights (“mebet") including the right to own property of land and property, a government agency comprising of judges will be organized to adjudicate and arbitrate the case of confiscated land and property since the 1970’s.

[Since changes in Ethiopia are to be conducted by Ethiopians working in Ethiopia , private investment both by the inhabitants and by those in the Diaspora should be done no matter the form of an ambient government. The population has to survive and prosper despite the nature of government. Those who support Ethiopian Democracy should educate every one about this truth in ways appropriate to the ambient condition, openly and freely if the government is democratic, and discretely in oppressive regimes such as the tyrannical Woyane regime. Note that boycotting the services and products unjustly produced by the Woyane is different from investing in Ethiopia. It is possible to boycott the unjust products of the Woyane and support the just services and products of agencies that support Ethiopian Democracy.]
