Selamat,

Hmmmm! So I hear that Saleh Yonus took the initiative to
declare a so called "vow of silence" for the whole month of May.
The month than brings us the aroma of fresh flowers and the
Cherry Blossom in DC, the month were winter-confined reptiles
come out from hibernation, the month where lovely little birds
announce the arrival of Spring.

Yes! That is the month also when Saleh, the brainchild of the
famous Magwa Group, the editor-in-chief and the wise-cracker,
who was once nominated for the prestigious "dehaier of the
month" award, decided to pull a fast one on us.

I say a fast one because I didn't expect saleh, of all people, to
resort into such tactic of retreat (oops! sorry yonatan, it's THAT
time too). However, I could be wrong. Saleh seemed to always
have an answer for everything, I mean EVERYTHING!
Unfortunately, he is not around to tell us in his own WITTY way
why he chose this avenue (Boy, did we miss that!).

Some may say saleh's "vow of silence" is justifiable in order to
create a "cooling off" period during emotionally challenged
debates of some sensitive issues such as religion, language
and DEMOcrazy. I say NO! It is not justifiable. Like that "wise"
man of his, Reagan, said it "You can run, but you can't hide."

Initially I thought Saleh would have been probably better off had
he called for a "day of atonement" a la Farakhan, and had asked
a million dehiers march in DC. But then later I figured gidewon
would not have joined him (he knows what I am talking about),
and the good ol' DC mayor would not have permitted another
MMM.

But what saleh didn't realize also is the cause-and-effect
syndrome of his "vow of silence," The VoS did not only divert the
issue at hand but it also silenced the cream of the crop. In
addition:

1. Saleh and his pose are replace by some joke-telling dudes

2. The main thread in dehai nowadays is "jokes about eritrean
girls."

3. It made Hagos from Finland re-appear from Ice-age
(Welcome back ).

You see what you have done saleh. It is all your fault!!!!!

Please come back soon.....

haile a.
