I. Introduction
Geghna is a new Paradigm for Ethiopian Liberation. It proposes and ideology based on the principle of Ethiopianism. It emanates the arts of living from one of the ancient cultural civilization. It will guide us to live tomorrow with the critical appreciation of today and will help us to learn from our past experiences.
Geghna is an organization established by Ethiopians fighting for the liberation of their homeland from Irredentism, Drought, Famine, War and backwardness.
Geghna’s main aim and objective is to bring down the EPRDF’s ethnic regime, without collapsing the State. Thus, Ethiopia will not have to test the bitter herb of Pansomalism.
Geghna is for the restitution of glorious Ethiopia based on trance-ethnic, trans-linguistic and non-confessional principles. Its main ideology is Ethiopianism.

1.2.2 Ethiopian
A person manifesting Ethiopianist personality, who struggles for the restoration of Ethiopia to its glory and proud of his origin.
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.
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
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.
EPRDF/TPLF
Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front of The Tigrean People Liberation Front is an ethnic-based pseudo-coalition governing Ethiopia since May 1991, based on irredentist principles. This non-Ethiopian distractive force has since been destabilizing Ethiopia and Ethiopianity to eradicate Ethiopianism.
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 ten years, causing unprecedented human catastrophe. The 1974 Wello 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 15 million Ethiopians, according to facts from World Food Program and EPPF 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.
War & Conflict
The Horn of Africa in post World War II, has been a fertile ground for war and unnecessary conflict. This continues to cost the lives of millions of innocent people.
In the 30 years of Eritro-Ethiopian war millions have died and have been displaced. In the recent Eritro-Ethiopian War and Conflict, again over 200’000 innocent have paid with their lives, and hundreds of thousands have been displaced and many have become victims of Ethnic-cleaning.
The triple clouds, drought, famine and War are again preparing 15 million innocents Ethiopians victims for another round of catastrophe.
In 1977, the consequence of Somali-Ethiopian as a conflict of the cold war involving Cuba and Russia cost the existence of the state of Somalia and left hundred thousand dead and displaced to this day in both countries.
Geghna has prepared a lasting solution for eradicating this plague form the region by removing EPRDF’s Serbian Model Government. This in turn definitively will eradicate war and unnecessary conflict from the minds of the children of the Horn.
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.
Ethiopian Treasure
Since the beginning of the last century the different regimes of the country have amassed the national reserve in the European banks. 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.
II. The Horn
The Horn
4’388’570.-Km2
The Horn of Africa is homeland for over 129’807’000(2007) million people. It is a land of 5 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, Somalia and Sudan. ENUF has strategic interest in recognizing and formulating a win partnership in the Region.
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.
2.2 Eritrea
117’600Km2 / Population 4’500’000.-(2007)
Eritrea is the African 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 and destruction. This is due to a colonial mutual heritage from the Scramble of Africa.
Geghna invites these sisterly countries, Ethiopia and Eritrea, for mutual economic and social development and live in harmony and reciprocity as they did once rather than war and self destruction.
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.
Geghna proposes a solution for lasting peace such that all Somalis can enjoy stability with the rest of the Horn of Africa.
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 the Shebatic culture that was later known as Meriotic kingdom with that of 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 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.
III. Diasporas
3.1 The Great Lakes
In the pre-colonial period the Abyssinian 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 the anachronic 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 Ethiopia’s Hamatic kingdoms of Sheba. Geghna’s Ethiopia will surely stand with them in this time of distress.
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.
3.3 Middle East
Ethiopia is a prophetical country mentioned over 400 times in the Bible. Ancient Ethiopians even before the time and reign of Solomon frequented the Holy land. Ethiopia owns holy sites and properties inside and outside 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 Ethiopians live in the Holy Land. The majority of them came through Israel’s law-of-return effectuated through different operations in the last two decades.
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 in the problem concerning the key of the Holy seplecure .
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.
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 to participate in the eventual liberation of their motherland from tyranny, famine, drought and war. They will be called upon for the reconstruction of the glorious Ethiopia.
