Wrong political direction or choice

We follow wrong political direction (communism, etc)

We made a mistake did chose to follow a wrong political direction. Instead of tackling the problem right away we chose to fight with one another and went to the bush instead of to the needy people and started (A-Z) "Liberation Fronts" and fought with one another. Thus we opened a way for the coming of the Derg. You know what happened then Haileselassie was overthrown and more misery and hunger come with him. In Derg's time the number of hungry people rose from 200,000 (1974) to a couple of million in 1984. Then came one of our creation to power the EPRDF in 1991. In a decade's time the number of hungry people rose to what the prime minister himself said 15,000,000 people.
