The tale of Chere sefer
Chere sefer isn't a big, big village like my place Lideta. But recently it is hosting some "big men" from TPLF consulting with a "wise" man called Genenew Assefa. As Genenew spends his evenings at Tinshua Bet, the "big men" usually visit him on day time. They ask him and his friend Zerihun Teshome, another "wise" man who frequents Tinshua bet, who to select for the leadership of Addis Ababa city government. The name Zegeye Asfaw was mentioned. The hosts thought he was a neutral figure who would attract oromos. The TPLF men carried the advise to their heart and asked Zegeye's consent. He, I heard, declined. Other names are being thrown now and then. But for the former WPE members, nobody seems interested in the job. TPLF's rule is now called by insiders as the Mimi Sibhatu government. Apart from her husband and friend(Zerihun and Genenew) being serious advisors of Meles, one of their company Shimeles, the sleazy ex-journalist, is prosecuting the prisoners. Mimi is also runnning the gov't media as a consultant and a talk show producer and host.
