you do carry out attacks in ethiopia? in prison but i can tell you as an organisation, ginbot 7, i do not think has fired a single bullet. why was your colleague... perhaps it is referring to what has happened in all of these areas. you have not heard about killing 20 soldiers and injuring 50? not at all. i was in prison... i understand that, but you are secretary general. i was completely denied of any... i had no access to the news! ijust assume now, and since i got out, no one informed me that if this organisation took these measures, i would have known about it. i believe, in fact, there was a countrywide resistance, and it was part of the resistance, a number of groups could take measures like that. but not ginbot seven. but the ginbot 7 is still banned technically in ethiopia, it was banned because it was seen as a terror organisation. who are the terrorists? well, we have that with the authorities. who was a terrorist? a government that has killed over 1,000 protesters and put all elected parliamentarians in prison

other guests that ethiopia a spiritual obligation that will be up by. but that's not the time that is now given to each is a territory that how do you know it's been called for for such a long time that there are people who believe one will stand so he makes it imperative for the two countries to sit down and negotiate on how to decide on items to issues and the district of those individuals and people will be on the territory so if you accept the decision of the. why would it be difficult for the government to come to the table and composition about oh well i wouldn't expect anything less than a great question that's a great question i would forgive me for go ahead finish you wouldn't expect any responsible stayed around the world to remain silent in the face of your adversity making that kind of overture we do want to go to the way that what if i can stop you right there a while because you talk about over a ters and giving you know something to eritrea and that eritrea should come to the table asking why don't they a lot of people online leka and it'
