What the
misguided, the sarcastic, and the PFDJ hardliners say about us
The Nharnet Team receives many varied
comments, questions and observations from many visitors all over the world
including from “ the misguided”, “ the sarcastic”, and “the PFDJ
hardliners”. Our Team would
like to take this opportunity to thank them for many encouraging email
they have sent us. We are
sincerely glad to hear from the misguided, the sarcastic and the PFDJ
hardliners too. First of all, regardless how negative their comments
and messages are, we at least know they are visiting Nharnet.com.
We are hopeful that the more they visit us, the more they learn.
Second, it helps us to keep up to date with their thinking and
their misguided orientation by PFDJ bosses.
Since it is impossible to post all the comments that we receive, we
will respond to a sample of them.
We provided brief responses to those who used valid
email addresses right after they sent us the messages. The others, who did not use valid email addresses when they
sent the messages, will hopefully see our responses here since their
comments seem to indicate that they visit nharnet.com. To start with, we
would like to sincerely thank them for visiting nharnet.com.
That is a good start of knowing what we stand for.
We really appreciate their comments and questions as it indicates
that they are trying to open their mind to at least see what ELF-RC stands
for. We encourage them to use
valid email addresses so that we can respond to their comments and
questions specifically and timely. We will adhere to a strict confidentiality about their
contact information they provide us via email or on the feedback page.
In fact, that is who we want to hear from – the doubters, skeptics,
critics and alike. That is
the objective of Nharnet.com, to clarify what is vague and enlighten those
who do not know about the goals and objectives of ELF-RC.
Regardless which organization they support, it is good for them to
make decisions based on learned facts rather on propaganda.
It is good for our country in that we can discuss about its future
based on facts rather than on accusations.
That can be achieved if we learn the facts about the organizations
even the ones that we may not support.
Doing so is for the benefit of our people rather than of ELF-RC as
an organization. We are not in the business of dividing people. We are
rather in the business of helping our people in making objective
assessment of their political fate and chart the correct course for our
nation.
Now, back to answering the
points:

Just for the record, where is the difference between PFDJ &
ELF-RC objectives? Both say the same. Both use different workdings,
yet mean about the same. Can you show us the difference, in order to
make an educated choice Please?
The ELF-RC looks forward to building,
a free country where the people emerge as really sovereign in all
issues that affect their lives and the destiny of their nation,
a united country blessed with respect of human rights, free
democratic life, the rule of law, equality, social justice and
harmony, an open and flourishing economy, and clean living and
working environment,
a country where chauvinism, arrogance and racism cease to be paraded
as nationalism and aggression ceases to be advertised as defense of
the mother land,
a country where strength is measured not in terms of guns and tanks
and other hard ware, but in terms of democratic stability, cultural
wealth, civic strength and economic prosperity,
a country that is a committed member of the International Community
and that stands for good-neighbourliness, peace and co-operation
with all peoples,
a country that is morally prepared to shoulder its share of the
burden and responsibility in all efforts made to democratise,
pacify, stabilise, respect and protect human life and dignity.

This is a hard question to answer not because it is
complex but because wodi bahsay asks us for the differences and it is
rather easier to think of our similarities since they are very few. Any way, be it sarcastic or sincere, we are obliged to answer
the question as if we are sure it is sincere in the hope that it may
provide the basics as in ‘ELF-RC for dummies” in a summary form:

The list goes on; however
these should suffice to get the picture.
ELF-RC believes that prosperity and tranquility cannot be harvested
from terror and dictatorship. There
is no innovation and improvement without freethinking and free expression.
We also believe that our people are more than capable to advance in
a free and democratic environment if given the opportunity.
They handled their national affair very well during the Federation
Era. They can do better now because of what they have learned from
their long and hard journey since then. So, here you have it wodi bashay,
you can write us if you need more information.
