TO THE POINT  


 

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:

Please show us the difference

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.
