The Dogs are barking While the Camels are Striding!

Egyptians have a reason to shout loudly... more than ever; even more than that they shouted during the Arab uprising at Tahrir square to oust the Mubarak regime. Because, they know they are empty barrels rolling down in the desert hillsides.

For centuries now, they have been playing fool of us through fictitious religious indoctrinations. We have been told to worship every day of the month and hence the year for so and so was born, died or did something irrelevant to our life at all.

Blindly idolizing some nameless and faceless individuals never helped us change our life standards; neither did our beloved country moved an inch forward. As a result we were destined to lead a destitute life... we failed in the hands of our indoctrinators.

Our peace has been at stake. They made us fight one another... an opportunity for them to enjoy the scene in ecstasy. At the time our country was burning... they used to add oil to the fire. All misfortunes in our motherland were indicators of heydays in theirs.

Now, the course of life has been changed for good. We have started building the dam and the natural course of once source of our laments has been diverted. We Ethiopians can witness the torch of heydays in the horizon... indeed; the world is forced to witness as well. The sun is rising for us...the best time to say good bay to the dark ages. 

The messengers of darkness may still resist even if they know that they have totally lost the game. They may blow trumpets everywhere they go and attack our embassy in their once famous country. But these can never bear them any help. We know that dogs bark only when they are at their owner’s home. Therefore, better to ignore them and continue building our Grand Renaissance Dam! And forget the damn idiots.

Let us not echo their shouting like the centuries old mountains. If they are wise enough, they will cooperate with us genuinely. Otherwise, they know they cannot do anything but shout. And even if the try, it will be a spellbinding historical hat trick for us. We shall focus on our home works… tomorrow is approaching faster than ever. Time to sing Sam Cook's "Change is gonna come!"... Yes indeed.
