Reconciliation among people is needed when there are animosities between two or more individuals or groups that resulted in ill-deeds. In cases of Ethiopia, these ill-deeds are not just mere squabbles: the ill-deeds include massive massacres, sterilizations, tortures, disappearances, incarcerations, robberies, national treasons and so on.
Reconciliation is needed to heal (not to forget) these unforgettable crime wounds and start to have better relationships. To reconcile and start better relationships with their victims, the criminals should become “new creatures”. To become new creatures, firstly the criminals should place themselves in solitude and pass through self-redemption processes. Secondly, the criminals should confess all the crimes they committed without blaming others like “the born again” Tamirat Lyne tries to do. Thirdly, the criminals should exhibit sincere remorse and ask their victims for forgiveness. Finally, the criminals involved in massacres and murders should face justice because no one on earth has the right to forgive on behalf of the dead souls.
None of the reconciliation steps are followed in the “reconciliation” process of Ethiopian although the “Addition Reconciliation Mantra” has swept away the mass like the Sahara dust carried away by cyclones. Speaking the gullible addition mantra redundantly, the preacher in power acts as a “repentant” before self-redemption and without confessing his and his colleagues crimes. He further acts as a forgiver and a mediator. In other words, the preacher in power plays these three reconciliation roles, the reconciliation roles even God cannot play at the same time.
The preacher in power is trying to make a miraculous cross from logs without using nails or glues. The glues and the nails used to reconcile the criminals with their unfortunate victims are confessions and justice. Even God uses confessions and justice as tools to forgive and reconcile with the sinners. If God has no power to forgive without confessions and justice, how can we have the power to forgive and reconcile with murderers on behalf of the murdered in the absence of confessions and justice?
Rushing to forgiveness and reconciliation without confessions and justice is defying God’s wills and miscarriage of justice. Ignoring all the massacres, murders, tortures, sterilizations, mass displacements and other horrendous crimes, many are joining, hugging and dining with the criminals holding the “reconciliation” banners as excuses. It is a Gand scam on earth and heaven to claim reconciliation in the absence justice and confessions.
