From Here to Where?

Imagine, you are a very loving father sitting at home in the comfort of a lazy boy sofa before a fire in a place of your adopted home watched by the confident and joyful eyes of your children eager to hear the story of your family origin. Will you share all the pal talks of the guts, all the happiness and harsh side of the real deal why you are where you are? The truth about the home that you left behind, the grim picture of the majority Children, whose physical condition weakened due to malnutrition or lack of food the high morbidity and mortality due to measles infections, HIV/AIDS and other prevalent but possibily preventable disease. Do you tell them about the conflicts, hostilities, the human rights abuse and deficits of democracy, we as people experience? Or you just tell them the material difference between the original and the newly adopted home? Or you completely ignore the issue, as never existed and protect yourself and your family from the inconveniences. Yes, unfortunately no blame to through around, we are all equally victims of denials, hiding behind our physical departure from the mother land as the last throw of psychological separation but the fact remains the same. The repressive regime thwarting democratic processes has become more abusive of human rights and more determined in intensifying ethnic distrust. Major domesticated opposition parties are rendered impotent by the repeated harassment and intimidation of its members by the current regime. Their members are abducted and for some their whereabouts remains unknown to this day. Others are jailed and tortured. The full force of government power is used against those who legally opposed its policies. Human rights and due process simply could not exist for non-government approved opposition. The escalation of hostilities is increasing by days between individuals and groups unlike. More and more people are defecting from the regime and many more are leaving the country for good. Number of refugees entering Kenya, Sudan and Eritrea on foot has increased paving the way for a gradual disintegration of families and weakening of communities.
On the other hand the current regime has secretly devised economic and social strategies that provide for government-backed profits for party and party faithful to prosper into a powerful mega billionaire's kingdom that gives particular ethnic groups unfair advantages in all spheres of state governance and power dominance indefinitely, permanently establishing hegemony. Thus, the regime is resolved to do whatever it takes to win all elections and to destroy effective political opposition that challenges its authority, a brush of economical ethnic cleansing by removing the conditions for potential and actual opposition, whether political, guerrilla or military, by physically and economically removing any potentially or actually hostile ethnic communities. Here all ethnic groups in Ethiopia are considered potential rivals except the Tigrians themselves and still within that group there appears to be divisions by region and newly emerging classes. An ethnic group is qualified to a status of an enemy by the virtue of the strength and dominance of their influence and those identified as weak are allowed to operate under the umbrella of the strict guidance of the regime and those who present real treat are dealt with to diminish into the background staffed by loyalist and paid fakers.
So here you are, a free individual with a young family, sitting in the lazy boy sofa chair in the comfort of your adopted home lamenting the facts of the tragedy of the motherland but dare not to open your mouth to share the truth to your children whom you love and adore. They ask who you are as a person, why and where you are. You just are being called on to make a sacrifice and break the comfort of your self indulged silence to communicate better with your children. Help them understand their ancestral problems before those unsure self doubting kicks in. Of course, there is initial resistance. But will you accept the task? What part of the story will you share and why?
