7. 1.2.2 Ethiopian Ethiopia is a person manifesting Ethiopianist personality who struggles for the restoration of Ethiopia to its glory and proud of his origin.

8. 1.2.3 Ethiopianist It is a code of character which leads one to the acceptation of his present Ethiopian duties, in assuming his mission for the future glory of Ethiopia, and ties himself to the collective past of Ethiopianity

9. 1.2.4 Ethiopianity • It is a set of acts which manifests four principles : • Traces an Ethiopian descent, • Having Ethiopianist personality, • Claims his Ethiopian identity and  • Lives as an Ethiopian

10. 1.2.5 Ethiopianism • It is a movement and ideology of the people of Ethiopian descent at home and Diaspora. • It is a project for the restoration of Ethiopia to its ancient glory. It is a personalized code of Ethiopianity embedded with universal, contingent, historic, non-confessional, trans-ethnic, trans-classist values.

11. Drought & Famine • Drought and Famine is a cyclic phenomenon, which haunts the people of the Horn of Africa from the time immemorial. • Theses calamities devastate Ethiopians every seven to 7/10 ten years, causing unprecedented human catastrophe. • The 1974Wello famine took 200,000 lives and brought down the Imperial regime. The 1984 Biblical drought killed over ½ Million Ethiopians. • The 1991 Tigre famine affected over 4 million and brought about the demise of the Derg Regime. The current famine, already into its 3rd year is now destroying over 20 million Ethiopians, according to facts from World Food . • Geghna is dedicated to bring sustainable development projects to eradicate this plague among the Ethiopians. • The 1st step is by eliminating the main cause of this situation the ethnic & racist regime of EPRDF. This in turn will save Ethiopians from being eradicated from the face of the earth. This man made catastrophe is sustained as a source of income for maintaining an irredentist regime of EPRDF in power.

12. War & Conflict

13. The  Ethiopian Waters • The Ethiopian highland is the main source of  water for all   the people of the Horn of Africa  as  far as Egypt with its 12 rivers and 12 Lakes  basin springing  live water from the highland plateau :- • Sudan NileNorth  Tekeze, Atabara, • West   Nile, Dinder • South  Baro, Akabo1&2 • KenyaSouth Omo • Djibouti EastShebele • Somalia EastDawa,  Genale, Wabe (Genale & Shebele) • Nile Issue • The Nile is one of the longest river stretching over 5 600 km covering over 10 countries. Ethiopia contributes over 87% of the water. The country has no share and say to its main international head water due the un-concerted action of EPRDF regime. Geghna construes the situation to that of inequity. • Geghna has a working plan, to involve the riverians of the great waters for mutual project benefits, respecting the fauna and flora of the different regions. • Geghna is ready to discuss with the riverian countries, without preconditions on the Nile waters to protect all our mutual interests.

14. Ethiopian Treasures • Since the beginning of the last century the different regimes of the country have amassed the national reserve in the European banks. The EPRDF being the worst of them all, in vandalizing Ethiopian National treasures & assets. Over 44 billion USD Ethiopian treasury is languishing in the hands of Helvetic Bankers while the country is bleeding with drought and famine. The Derg and the Woyane regime have made “gentlemen agreement” rather than Judicial inter-aid for the return of Ethiopian treasury to the motherland. Further, TPLF officials continue to rip Ethiopians of large amounts of money by depositing them in various European and Latin American fiscal paradises.

15. Ethiopian Land • The Ethiopian land is divided into there:- • Amba :-     The highland Plateau above 1400 meter; • Sheleko :- The Rift valley which divides the plateau into two escarpments the West and the East under 1000 going down to 145 meter under sea level in Dhalak Depression in the north east • Berha :- The hot arid semi desert law lands surrounding the country

16. The Land Tenure • The Ethiopian land tenure system traditionally is divided into three traditional social system .- Rist land,  GultlandZelan land. Rest is a more of umbilical hereditarily communal hold land a system practiced in the traditional Abyssinian central plateau. The Gult is more of Feudal system of land tenure practiced mostly in the valley  and southern regions acculturlized ambivalently by the inhabitants of the central plateau closer to what is known in the middle ages in the west a  Feudal land tenure. Zelan Land Tenure system is  land extending  in and around the periphery  area surrounding  the highland plateau.  Traditionally the inhabitants were divided respectively ResetgnaGultegna & Zelan. Zelan land belongs to the governments. The gult land is the land given to the traditional war lord patriots called Balabat and the inhabitants are named chestgna the same as that of western prerevolutionary serfs. • 1975 The Derg Regime with its  socialist land reform nationalized the gult and Zelan land and redistributed the Gult to the tiller. • 1991 Woyane nationalized all lands to Ethiopia in its hands and started distributing in 2009 to the international land grabbers.

17. II. The Horn Of Africa • The Horn • 4’388’570.-Km2 • The Horn of Africa is homeland for over 140’807’000(2007) million people. It is a land of 12 great rivers and the source for the “life-giving” water of the Nile. It is also composed of 5 polities with that of the main land of Ethiopia and the 4 post colonial countries, once intermittently were a part of Abyssinian sphere of influence: Djibouti, Eritrea,  Somaliland , Somalia and Sudan. Geghna has strategic interest in recognizing and formulating a regional   partnership

18. 2.1 Djibouti • 23’200km2  / 807’000.- Population (2007) • Djibouti, the ex-territory of France, is the land of the Afars and Issas. It once was part of the Biblical kingdom of Ophir. It has been a port city of the modern Ethiopian state since the construction of Franco-Ethiopian railway line in 1890s. It is a country menaced daily due to the Ethnic rivalry alimented and influenced by EPRDF’s racist government of Ethiopia. It’s mere survival depends on the presence of the French’s Military Contingent. • Geghna invites the sisterly inhabitants of  Djibouti to  work tighter in a mutual understanding and reciprocity  in  a more open and sisterly manner  with the rest of the people of Ethiopia as we have always did.

19. 2.2 Eritrea • 117’600Km2 / Population 4’500’000.-(2007) • Eritrea had been the Abyssinian doorway to the Middle East and that of Asia. Eritrea and Ethiopia are a nation united in their continuity and separated in their intermittence’s social and political history. They have both embarked in the last 50 years in wanton war . The  crisis originated from the European Scramble for Africa in 1880 at  the Berlin Conference. • Geghna invites these sisterly people to mutual economic and social development and to trace their destiny once more together.

20. 2.3 Somalia • 637’660Km2 – Population 8’500’000.-(2007) • Somalia was the Biblical land of Punt. While Yemen was the right side kingdom of Sheba, Somalia played as the left part of Abyssinian sphere of influence from Ziela. It is country colonially divided and regionally murdered by the EPRDF’s government of the Woyane regime since 1991 and its resent intervention  in 2007. • Geghna proposes a solution for lasting peace such that all Somalis can enjoy stability with the rest of Ethiopians to live in mutual collaboration and solidarity  in peace and stability without  foreign intervention.

21. 2.4 Sudan • 2’505’810.- Population 36’700’000.-(2007) • Sudan is country of the Nile where the White and the Blue Nile merges to Egypt. Sudan was a part and a parcel of theShebatic that was later known as Meriotic kingdom with later Abyssinia. Since independence, it has been a fertile ground for coup & counter-coup, religious extremism, slavery and a land of struggle for liberation. It is through Sudan that EPRDF’s regime of Woyane  put its racial hegemony on the affairs of the Ethiopians. • GEGHNA plans to work with the people of Sudan without undermining the interest of the rest of the peoples of the Horn of Africa for mutual development as we have done for centuries.

22. III.   Ethiopian Diasporas • 3.1 The Great Lakes • 3.2 West Africa • 3.3 Middle East • 3.4 Americas

23. 3.1 The Great Lakes • In the pre-colonial period the Ethiopians sphere of interest extended to the so-called interlacust region of Africa. • Today the peoples of Ethiopian decent living in this region of Burundi, Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda have been victims of Ethnic purification and genocide. They were relocated by it’s anachronism racist doctrine, left behind by the colonial powers. • Geghna contrary to the EPRDF regime of Woyane will not be indifferent to the grievances of the peoples of Ethiopian descent in the Great Lakes. It will work hand in hand with local governments to find a lasting solution to the peoples of Biblical Abyssinian Hamatic kingdoms of Sheba Like that of the Torree, Baganda, BahimaAnkolie, Batutsi, Bawutu, Bayamalenge, etc . GEGHNA’s Ethiopia will surely stand with them in this time of distress who have victims of Scramble for Africa.

24. 3.2 West Africa • Western Africa, the ancient Guinea was frequented with the people of Historical Ethiopia. • Geghna will also work with the different governments for the well being of its people today inhabiting these regions.

25. 3.3 Middle East • Ethiopia is a prophetical country mentioned over 400 times in the Bible. Biblical  Ethiopian even before the time and reign of Solomon frequented the Holy land. Ethiopia owns holy sites and properties inside and out side the walls of the Old City. This issue has been litigated with the different religious dominions especially that of the Coptic Egyptian on the site of the Holy Sepulcure. Today, over 100 thousand of the people of Ethiopian decent  live in the Holy Land. The majority of them came through Israel’s law-of-return effectuated through different operations. • Geghna will assure a continuous Ethiopian ties with respective authorities of the region. It will try to find a mutual understanding with the Egyptian Copts religious authorities to find a lasting solution for their conflict  with the site in the Holy  Sepulcure of Jersualem. • Geghna will work hand in hand with the Ethiopian Diasporas living in Israel so they could participate in the eradication of religious intolerance and racial segregation at home and aboard.

26. 3.4 Americas • Independent Ethiopia has been the pride of the people of African descent in Americas. Many ex-slaves living in the Island of the Seas claim their Ethiopian descent and its glorious past. • Geghna will work with all the people of Ethiopian descent living in Americas and Island of the Seas to participate in the eventual liberation of their motherland from tyranny, famine, drought and war. They will be called upon for the liberation and  reconstruction of the glorious Ethiopia and thus will be embrace  Ethiopianism.
