Ethiopian Review
In a recent interview with Dimtsi Woyanne Radio, Sebehat Nega, Woyanne moneyman and senior member of the politburo, said that if all Eritrean organizations combine, their effort would not add up to what the Tigrean People’s Liberation Front (Woyanne/TPLF) did for the independence of Eritrea. According to Sebehat, the position taken by the Eritrean People Liberation Front (EPLF/Shabia) had been weak in regards to the question of independence. What he was saying in effect is that EPLF has a soft heart for Ethiopia, as it demanded only limited autonomy from the central government–not full secession as demanded by Woyanne. What an astonishing statement coming from some one who is a top leader of the party that is ruling Ethiopia, albeit illegitimately.
This is not a hyperbole on the part of Sebehat. His statement is, in fact, not new to those who have been closely watching the Woyannes for a while. It would also not be a surprise to participants and observers of the negotiations between EPLF, Woyanne, and Derg before the downfall of the Derg regime in May 1991.
One of these observers is distinguished Ethiopian scholar Professor Ephraim Isaac, who had been mediating between EPLF and the Derg. According to Prof. Ephraim, the TPLF leadership had been a major obstacle to a negotiated settlement between the Derg and the Eritreans. Limited autonomy for Eritrea was NOT acceptable to the top TPLF leaders. "
