Ethiopian Millennium celeb. in Worabe, Silte Zone part 1

[fmoham01]

May the people of Silte Zone prosper. I have friends in Lera and Werabe/Worabe and they invite me to come there all the time but I haven't had the chance yet because of a busy schedule. One love from a Somali brother.

I just can't get enough of this song.I LOVE IT...I LOVE IT...I WOULD LOVE TO WATCH IT 24/7!

kO Ghammid,

I don't disagree more with the notion hijab dignifies woman than any thing.Women don't need hijab to be diginified.B/C they are already dignified by just being women:They are our mothers, sisters, daughters,friends,& wives.Just set them free.pls listen to John mayor's ...

zenbozenbo,

I couldn't agree with you more on the subject. I would think associating wearing "hijab" with "identity" or "culture" could be misleading. What I believe is society should leave the choice to women.

[zenbozenbo]

Alkeso,

bafah Tigey.

[alkeso]

zenbozenbo,

"bafash" would be more appropriate.

Alkeso,

afeytu beyign ,Aganash.Hafto yonshiko alchalkons nara.

U know what your nick alkeso reminded me...The alkeso Mewlid...I was there for the mewlid some 14 yrs a go.And, I visited the then Worabe too.There were only 2 or 3 korkoro bets.Now it is completely an other city.I would like the lives of women could change as well.

[alkeso]

zenbozenbo,

"awfe bahuhaw" I share your hope to see more opportunities are provided to Ethiopian women in general that would change their lives for the better. I may add, alkeso is the birth place of my "paternal" grand father. When I visit home, inshaallh, pretty soon, that would be the first place I would go and see.

[alkeso]

zenbozenbo, Earlier, I forgot to say thank you for your lovely comment. I like your expression.

[zenbozenbo]

Alkeso,

YOU are so welcome!I wish more women like U could have come out & stand up for their right.

[ghammid]

Dear zenbozenbo, Why do they have to take theirhijab off? It is their relegious and cultural identification.I think women look beautiful,dignified and respectful with their hijab on.

[alkeso]

ghammid,

I agree with you on associating wearing "hijab" with culture not only for Siltes but for almost all cultures in Ethiopia. But I really don't share your view on "dignified" & "respectful" aspects of "hijab" to women as you put it. Are you implying that "Silte" women in particular and Muslim women in general, who don't wear "hijab" aren't dignified or respectful? Don't you think that is a little too extreme of a view not to mention "unfair" to your mothers, sisters and wives?

[alkeso]

ghammid,

in my previous comment, I have tried to associate wearing "Hijab" with most cultures in Ethiopia. When I said " most cultures", I meant in the context of women covering their heads other than religious purpose.

[zenbozenbo]

Thanx for sharing.I strongly suggest that more female singers should break off the cultural shackl and come out to the stage.Once they come forth to the stage,it is better they take off thier hijab.I know it is very hard but we all need to encourage them to do that so!
