Part Three: A Nation's Right Hand Lost
The speech stunned the room. Some cadres responded, “How dare you speak to the president like this?”
Colonel Mengistu, determined to make an example, held General Tariku accountable for the attack. To instill discipline and fear, he ordered Tariku to be executed in front of his own loyal soldiers.
On February 15, 1988, Brigadier General Tariku Ayne was executed outside of Asmara. His death shocked even the EPLF. Their Radio of the Masses broadcast the moment with a chilling statement:
> “The Derg has cut off its right hand with its left hand.”
Following the execution, the morale of the soldiers collapsed. The once-unbreakable Nadew Command lost its spirit. The EPLF seized the opportunity, and what couldn’t be accomplished through force alone was achieved through psychological and emotional warfare.
The final battle was fought in a town called Afabet—a name that some say was misreported as Nafka due to confusion and the spread of misinformation.
Some sources say the final battle is called nafka that's why they call their currency Nafka.
Regardless of the name, the consequences were clear: Ethiopia lost one of her most loyal warriors. And the cost was devastating.

#Georg_Berkley
George Berkeley is a subjective idealist and Immaterialist, and he says that all things are Ideas, and their origin is in the mind. He says that things exist subjectively (in the mind). This is why #Georg_Berkley is called a subjective idealist.
One of Berkeley's most famous philosophical themes is the central one: "To be is to be perceived or to exist is to be perceived." He says that only the perceptible is existing.
For this reason, when Berkeley states that mater doesn't exist, he says that mater is imperceptible. This is why Berkeley is called an Immaterialist. Because if you don't see it, you don't believe it... When Berkeley states the contradiction with John Locke, Locke is right to base his argument on an empirical foundation, but he is wrong to base his conclusion on a rationalist one. He is also wrong to consider primary qualities as objective or independent of us. However, primary qualities, like secondary qualities, are subjective, says Bishop George Berkeley.
And we say, "No shape without color, color and shape are inseparable." But for Locke, while he made shape the primary characteristic and objective, he made color subjective.

....The most beautiful word that humans have ever uttered is the word "mother." The most beautiful pronunciation is "my mom." It is a sweet and beautiful word, full of hope and love, and it comes from the heart. A mother is everything - our comfort in times of sorrow, our hope in times of pain, our strength in times of weakness. She is the source of love, mercy, compassion, and forgiveness. He who loses his mother loses the pure soul that she constantly blesses and protects.

woman is born with beauty. A man is born with potential.
That’s the uncomfortable truth.
From the moment a girl hits 18, the world opens up to her.
Attention. Options. Opportunities.
Simply for existing.
Why?
Because female value is front-loaded.
It's biological. Evolutionary.
Youth and beauty are desired.
But a man?
He’s ignored at 18.
Laughed at at 22.
Overlooked at 25.
Only respected when he builds something.
A man’s value is earned.
Through suffering.
Through mastery.
Through becoming something the world can’t ignore.
This is why a man’s life truly begins at 30—
If he used his 20s to build, sharpen, sacrifice.
So stop crying about the game being unfair.
The rules were never designed for your comfort.
They were designed to forge you.
She protects what she has.
You must build what you don’t.
Every rep, every book, every lonely night—it all counts.
Become dangerous.
Then watch how the world finally says your name with respect.
Are you ready to build that kind of value?
Boys be a #men!!!!!

What is your life? Who are you really? Where do you want to be? What’s your purpose? Where are you going?
These questions have followed me for as long as I can remember. I think deeply about who I am and what I want—but thinking or dreaming alone has never been enough. Not even close.
The hardest part in life isn't dreaming big or writing ambitious goals. The hardest part is doing whatever it takes to bring those dreams to life.
You can see yourself as a poet, a visionary, a builder, a hard worker—but if you're not actually working toward it, then all you have is empty pride. Pride over nothing. And honestly, that’s the source of so many of our problems: walking around with pride for things we never earned.
If you say you’re going to write a book but never sit down to write it, you’re not a writer—you’re just dreaming.
If you want to build a business but spend your time binge-watching shows or scrolling endlessly, you’re not an entrepreneur.
If you say you want to learn to code but never actually write code, you’re not a programmer.
You have to do the work. No shortcuts. No excuses. Just relentless execution.
Do whatever it takes.
Do whatever it takes.
Especially if you’re a man doing nothing with your life—hear this: you were not born to lose, but you're choosing to lose by doing nothing. You’re accepting defeat before even trying. Meanwhile, your friends and your enemies are working, building, and grinding while you waste time.
Ask yourself:
Is this really the life I want?
Or am I just wasting it away?

“I can’t call a person a hard worker just because I hear they read and write, even if working at it
all night. Until I know what a person is working for, I can’t deem them industrious. . . . I can if
the end they work for is their own ruling principle, having it be and remain in constant harmony
with Nature.”
