I agree with Prof Alemayehu on the regime’s motives for stopping private institutions from teaching law (teacher training was banned ealrier, according to Ato Aberra). This is one more reason to fight for radical change in our country. They are pushing the goalpost by the day and making compromise less likely.

Comment on Ethiopia: Is ethnic federalism a viable alliance to democracy and pluralism?–the context in Ethiopia - By Dereje Tesfaye by Gadisa Birru

A very good article. Am a professor at Addis Ababa University and was ashamed by many of the scholars fighting through the indoctrination of TPLF.

I am afraid that TPLF will be a key for the disintegration of the unity of the Ethiopian people.

Just a shame to SEE TPLF for 30 years on top of the state.

I am so grateful to dearest Eskinder’s weekly ‘home news’.He is such a gifted man of letters with a scintillating pen.
He is also a courageous writer who tells it as it is,no doubt,
confronting so much personal hardship.
Really,what makes a man endure a great deal of suffering,refuse to bend still and goes on declaring the truth from the rooftops, come shine or hail?

Meles or his comarade in arms are not entitled to write history as he/they please be it for Meles Himself or themselves. The ONLY AND ONLY ONE ENTITLED TO WRITE HISTORY ON MELES ARE THE ETHIOPIAN PEOPLE”. We will write it in the trashiest way so that his tribal mentality and divide and rule policy will didappear for ever and ever.

Comment on Ethiopia Bans Distance Education, Cracks Down on Private Universities - By Peter Heinlein, VOA by Joseph

Joseph — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:45:41 +0000

Is this going to affect Mekele University and some of the TPLF’s so called educational institutions? Is this going to work for all with no discrimination? No!!!

It has been obvious that if you build educational institutions in the absence of quality assurance and a national standards agency in the first place, the result is like building a house on sand.

These institutions could have been established on the basis of accumulated experience else where and also highly skilled teaching staff plus a well-laid infrastructure. They allowed some of those institutions to exist in the absence of those key components and now, as crazy as they are, they are dismantling them. This is their style of ruling the whole nation all along.

In every aspect of Ethiopia’s life what this government has been doing takes similar patterns of affairs. They have been doing it for money, and when it won’t suit them the want to kill it. They don’t even understand that money can’t buy standards, virtues and values.

Meles and co of course, don’t want the new Ethiopian generation to be educated, but rather grow as a floating and flying humans filled up with greed.

In the past they have removed experienced Addis Ababa University professors from their jobs (replacing by Nigerians) because the’ve never been loyal to Meles. Lately, the have killed academic freedoms enacting stupid laws, turned the national institutions into collection points for their cadres (no strict/proper admissions based on academic criteria etc), used the national Unis/Colleges to recruit party members (of course in exchange of joining the national institutions) etc.

They now may have lost control of the private educational institutions and hence have to start to threatening them in this way. They have a lot of things in store for everybody if one doesn’t act like a slave for them.

The bottom line is that we shouldn’t wait and see …but galvanize our efforts to get rid of Meles and co in the earliest possible time.

“….He acknowledges there are disreputable private Ethiopian universities that grant degrees to anyone who pays the tuition.”

Dear Wondwossen, the owner of St. Mary’s college. First of all, we know the so called private “college/universities” don’t deserve the name at all. They are there only to earn money on the price of the nation knowledge. St. Mary’s is one of them. It is not only the private so called schools but also all the universities including AAU standard going down too low.

For your information, from all students nation wide who took University entrance exams, do you know how many percents passed in 20000? Check ministry of education data.

Only 2.7% passed. 97% of the students failed. YES all failed.

But why those entered university are 88%? Why?

Why all those failed get into university? None of them have the qualification of the 8th grade students during 1974. Thanks to Endrias Eshetee, the so called university president and the Minster who created the 10th grade entrance policy to destroy our nation. It is a CRIME.

Those who failed the national university entrance exam entered AAU, other universities and the so called private schools. WONDWOSSEN, You all give degree for those who paid money. Thanks to the so called Minstry of education and the 10th grade policy makers. You are just getting richer by destroying the future generation hope. Hope one day all of you will be accountable for this national crime.

I do not have a a doubt that Seye like all his friends Melese,Tamrat Layne ,Azeb….and so on abused his power by taking public money .I also believe that Melese has sabotaged and played a major role in Eritreans independence,making Ethiopia a landlocked nation ,as well as Badama’s loss. Seyes book has to be given historical gravity because what he said was the truth, if you talk corruption Meles is more corrupted than Seye.

personally, I will give a chance for a person to have been wrong once provided the person made jenuine repentance -this simply means ,for me, accepting the human sinful condition.However,I don’t believe people who are accustomed commiting repeated blunder deserves absolution of any wrong doing.He can publish this book as a means to suplement his scares resourses,but I dont belive it will garner warm reception because of what he said in it.First,Seye is one of the tplf core member who went along the decision to land lock Ethiopia.Does it avail any thing to Ethiopians to speak of the ,then,existing sharp differences between his group and Melese.This is hardly new.The half cast Melese and The Eritrian extract Bereket are placed at the ceter of power in Ethiopia to promote Shabian interest.Therefore Melese’s sabotage-does not come as surprise.Knowing this fullwell, why is Seye and his comrads fail to take correct approach to solve the problem at hand?Why dose his group kept this important question in guarded secracy from Ethiopian public?
It all comes to this he has been insincere about the whole thing from the beginig.If he want to convince Ethioipians he shares their values and aspirations,he could have shared his plan with our people to come up with workable solution.

The truth is Seye and his comreds had once their chance;it is unlikely that opportunity will repeat itself.He and his group faied to exploit the,then, prevailing situation-it is a disgrace for military comander to be over taken by political savey Melese.Now he need to take back sit and see when the younger generation of Ethiopians cary the banner.

“Zoro zoro mezgiaw chiraro”, yemibalewn yimeslal. Is this a facelift for AFD, to which UEDF, whatever that is a dormant faction failed to sign on to it. The difference between this alliance with ALEJE acronym and Alliance for Freedom and Democracy (AFD)is that it does not include EPPF,UEDF and the liberation fronts. Who is sponsoring it this time? Why EPPF is left out and replaced by Ethiopian Movement for Democracy and Freedom(EDF). Nevertheless, if this is a force of the positive forces of integration for unity, territorial integrity, sovereignity of Ethiopia and and Ethiopians as stipulated in the title, it is a step in the right direction, if the armed struggle is conducted from within Ethiopia. However, the term alliance is unecessary as it is far different from merge with the same goals in a political model as it is in business model.

Corrigendum and addendum: The last paragraph needs fine tuning. It should read: One has to put into perspective,when one tries to assess somebody eleses presentation in a book or article form, whether it contributes to the negative forces of disintegrat or the positive forces of inegration, from the existing political models of TPLF/eprdf, Tigrai Harena/fdd/efdr, consisting of loyalist opposition parties and UDJP,embracing the subset of of the national agenda and accommodating ethnic agenda in the form of Medrek, on one side with predominately ethnic agenda along with subset of national agenda,with implcit sustenance of the current regime along with the the teletafi parties are the causes for the resolved economic and political crises in Ethiopia not a matter getting along, a scramble for power within each faction or rivalery btween TPLF and EPLF leaders, nor rivalery between Seye and Meles, does amont to ideological differences to bring change with
respect to individual freedom and liberty together with unity and territorial integrity of Ethiopia. When that is resolved through a genuine peaceful struggle and/or armed struggle for the national agenda, then all the various parties will freely compete to serve the Ethiopian Nationalism and Ethiopian Interests.

Neither nor Meles have to do with struggling for unity, territorial integrity, sovereignity of Ethiopia and Ethiopians, neither under socialism or liberal democracy. TPLF reach to the point where it has eliminated its opposing factions and left with disgruntled elements, with out much difference in the main frame of ideology of dismantling Ethiopia into ethnic enclaves at least in terms of the major ethnic groups. The case between Meles and Isayas Afewoerki and Meles and Seye is that of rivalery not ideology in terms of the above mentioned goals. Despite the attrocities of human lives within the country against its opponents caused by Dergue, and the prevalent atmosphere of fear, extra judicial killings and incarcerations, it fares much better in terms of fulfiling the major goals stated above, in retrospective. Nevertheless, it calls for indepth analysis and historical facts how the two facitions in terms of human right violations with of them sharing the socialistic ideology with a different twist, the TPLF and its cohots with the ideology of the oppression of nations and nationalities and the Dergue leaning towards the class struggle of the individual from the royalists, the landlords, and the manufacturers, etc., which I presume, has something in common with EPRP, its deadly enemy, in the quest peoples rule, rather than Military Dictatorship, which, I presume debilitated the Dergue regime, while it is fighting the liberation movements and the Somalia incursion from the soth and southeast. What transpired since after the fall of the Dergue, is adichotomy of two forces: the negative forces of disintegration and the positive forces of integration. To me, any body’s article and seye’s book should be looked within the above frame work of natinal vs ethnic agenda. There is a subset of goals to the framework of the national agenda, which is democracy, human rights
and the rule of law, while at the same time accommodating ethnic agenda of ethnic and seccionist rights of divide and rule, with ethnic dictatorship.

One has to put this int perspective, when one tries assess ones opinion in a book form or in an article, as to why the Ethiopian economic and political crises is resolved. It is not a matter of just getting along of the posive forces of integration prevaing over the negative forces of disintegration, through and non-violent peaceful struggle for liberty, and freedom of individual as an Ethiopian.

I can distinguish woyane and Shbiya as soon as I read a paragraph? Their hand is socked with blood they are asking for more.

Speaking of Siye and Ethio media love with him, I can not help notice TPLF/Woyane still think they are Ethiopians or want to make her in their image. Siye’s defense of not being corrupt reminds me the saying ልጁ ሌባ አባቱ ዳኛ።. If TPLF/Woyane was corrupt and still is why is seye defending himself? They want to change the meaning of corrupt too.

Something have to give in sooner or later with Woyanes, frankly I do not want to see it

Seye Abraha with a 440-page book laments how Meles outsmarted him many times.His way of paying back is by more lament. Seye does have the not support of the conscientious Tigri elite. He is alone and Meles knows. Meles as a result is not afraid of him and in fact wants him around. Seye, a great advice for you is to ask the Ethiopian people to forgive you and retire from politics. To be fair we should all thank you for the book for it shows how evil Meles really is. I just want to see him in court defending himself like Sadam Hussien did. If you ask for forgiveness today, you may take the stand to testify with clear conscious. Ethiopians are peaceful and forgiving people. Go in public, have symbolic piece of rock on your shoulder and say “People of Ethiopia forgive me in the name of God” This is where you should start. You never know when Meles will throw you back in jail again. There is no change. The law of the land is still Meles’s word.

First of all we should know what kind of parties have joined the united front. The press release hints the new alliance is much worried about the human rights in Ethiopia or the absence of democracy in Ethiopia. This is but one apect of the issue. The problem in Ethiopia is about territorial integrity and sovereignity. The alliance should condemn the secession of Eritrea and the landlocking. Further it should condemn the ethnic federalims in Ethiopia. It should expose the crimes of Meles Zenawi in the political, social and economic aspects. The alliance should start from the pre-1991 political of map of Ethiopia. The secession of Eritrea should be at least discussed and a letter of condemnation to the UN should be sent.

G 7 has been focusing on anti-TPLF propoganda condemning Tigray people day in and day out. This sends a bad message to the ethiopian people. There is eritrean and tigrean presence in TPLF-EPRDF. But there are also amhara, gurage other elites who are serving Meles Zenawi’s autocratic regime.

The alliance should learn it’s lessons from Ethiopian People’s Patriotic Front and other groups, which are collaborating with Eritrea. Eritrea poses a danger to the liberation and democratization of Ethiopia and should be levelled as an enemy on the same degree as Meles Zenawi’s TPLF-EPRDF.

The alliance can not succeed to have any military engagement unless it is politically clearly stands with the pre-1991 Ethiopia. Eritrea and Tigray provinces are in the minority and can be and should be militarily challenged by the rest of the ethiopian population. The new united front or alliance of the three organizations should not allay with Eritrea unless Eritrean organization want to struggle with ethiopian to unite and liberate Ethiopia and Eritrea.

Seye should have acted. How many ethiopian patriots are murdered by Meles and his eritrean clique in EPRDF? When Hayelom was murdered, seye and the others should have prepared to kill Meles. Seye and others who stood for Ethiopia were too tolerant towards the eritreans in TPLF. What was needed was to make sure only ethiopins were leading TPLF. Eritreans like Meles, Bereket, Sibhat etc should have been purged.

It is hard to say how history will judge Siye and his comrades. For sure Siye was not corrupt. But the fact he supported the secession of Eritrea and the fact that Ethiopia is landlocked makes Siye partly responsible. We are happy if he has corrected thes wrong political positions and would continue to struggle for a united Ethiopia.

Death to Meles Zenawi and Sibhat Nega!

I personally don’t think, Seye Abraha is a trustworthy individual. He has done too much damage to Ethiopia to be trusted ever again. I believe, Seye is just mad as hell at his cousins for not sharing with him–the money they have looted. Esayas, Meles and Seye are three branches from the same ancestral tree. The three of them have the same deep-rooted hate towards Ethiopia and Ethiopians. Every time, I look at Seye‘s pictures, Esayas and Meles come to mind, and gives me uneasy feeling. I have no desire to read his book, from what I know about him so far, Seye seems another weswasa negrejna, like his former best buddies in crime, Dictator Esayas and Meles.

I find this a very commical news and i have never heard of “Ethiopian Movement for Unity and Justice”. If G7 leaders have a real courage to fight Woyane Agazi they should stop talking too much and show some actoin. The struggle to liberate Ethiopia from Agazi not in NY or Europe it is in Ethiopia.

Siye is one of the criminals who instigated, orchestrated and executed the Ethio-Eritrea border war. He must be held accountable for being the architect of the devastating human wave tactic that the Ethiopian army employed against the Eritreans and which was responsible for the annihilation of hundred thousands of poor Ethiopian foot soldiers. For Siye and co the poor Oromo, Amhara and other ethnic groups were expendable and they knowingly and purposely sent them to a raging inferno. He is also at the center the group that perpetrated the inhuman deportation of Ethiopians of Eritrean decent uprooting their lives and subjecting them to misery that have lasted to this day. He is a genocidal sadistic war criminal and Ethiopia and Ethiopians shouldn’t allow themselves to be manipulated by this unsavory character.

Written by:- Hanna kebede:- Switherland

Ethiopian Politics is dominated by authoritarian Men
Few of Africa’s authoritarian governments, like Ethiopia’s, were previously bastions of liberty. The country has a long history of repression and rebellion. But critics contend that many of Africa’s former-guerrilla-fighters-turned-leaders are growing steadily more repressive as their terms stretch from years into decades. Ethiopia’s prime minister, Meles Zanawi has led the country for 19 years.
Diplomats, human rights groups and witnesses say the Ethiopian government is methodically
Since early March, two opposition activists and one candidate have been killed. Witnesses and some Western diplomats say the victims were singled out because they were outspoken opponents of the governing party.
The Ethiopian government says that the killings were common crimes, not assassinations,
On April 13, 2010, dictator Meles Zenawi issued a thinly veiled threat to Ethiopian opposition leaders that he will hunt them out of their hiding places and burn them at the stake if they boycotted the May, 2010 “election”, or agitate the youth for political action:
(Genocide) as it can be proven beyond a shadow of doubt that all of them have listened to the Voice of America Amharic Service programs, which according to Zenawi “has copied the worst practices of radio stations such as Radio Mille Collines of Rwanda in its wanton disregard of minimum ethics of journalism and engaging in destabilizing propaganda.”
One of the biggest mistake Ethiopians could make in the fight against one of the most brutish of leaders the world has ever seen is to believe that Meles is their problem and theirs only. Meles Zenawi is a problem for all peace loving people in the Horn of Africa, East Africa, parts of the Middle East and the African continent.

The Ethio-Eritrean people were breathing the climax of the derg blood shed that took nearly half million lives; however, the quarrel of TPLF leadership toward their old professors (shaebia)led to another unnecessary blood shed- an estimated of 170,000 lives lost between both sides, nearly 2 billion dollars for unnecessary armaments, and an endless hatred between Ethiopians. In my honest opinion the primary enemies of the Ethio-Eritrean people are povery and some of the extrimists that are trying to colonize the horn of Africa. Seye, Abebe/Legesse/Mathza/Melese and his partner/boss Bereke are equally responsible for all the horn of Africa blood shed of the 90’s and they will all face jutice in due time.

Reading ato Fekade Shewakenas piece,I found out that he is not applying the `Boycot weyanne and their hodam supporters` campaign many Ethiopians are applying. As the supporter of Ginbot7 which advocates the all inclusive methods of struggle against the fascist and racist rule of Meles Zenawi, Boycotting and ignoring the members and supporters of the TPLF are the right ways to ge ahead. I have had a bitter experience of the discriminating and marginalizing policies of the TPLF ethnic fascists in my own birth place in the south. As a result my exposure to and experience with the racism of the TPLF,I have come to the conclusion that the organization is fascist and racist and does not accept the equlity of citizens as humans. The soft critics of the TPLF or Meles Zenawi like ato Fekade need to understand the bitterness or sour feeling discrimination based on ethnic background creates among the victims.

Poverty is Ethiopia’s persistent reality and has long been the country’s definer. The country’s mainstay, agriculture, is predominantly subsistence and is still only one drought season away from a multimillion killer famine unless we beg in time. Meles Zenawi often talks of poverty as being the number one problem of the country. . OK fine then this problem well stop once we get the water to Ethiopians . then we all see the differences. so we could use the water our selves. in send worr9ng others . pc.

Ato Fekade Shewakena is a mild critic of the ethnical fascist regime of Meles Zenawi. He is not an anti-fascist and remains in the so called vacillating stand vis-a-vis ethnical fascism in Ethiopia. He needs to review his position and adjust it accordingly or tune it with the anti-fasist group. He calls the ethnical fascist government an Ethiopian one and tries to depict it as Ethiopian. Ato Fekade should have known long ago that the fascist and racist Meles Zenawi does not see himself as an Ethiopian. Some from the inner circle of Meles Zenawi say that calling him an Ethiopian is what outrages him most and those around him avoid uttering the word Ethiopia. However, Fekade`s contributions are valuable as they deal with important issues. I hope that he will join the anti-fascist Ethiopians who call a spade a spade and are struggling to rid the country of ethnical fascism.

The problem with this “article” is that it does not seem to understand that growth statistics do not represent wealth. They represent growth, that’s it. To say Ethiopia has had double digit growth for 5 years does not mean it is wealthy. It only means that it is growing. China had double digit growth for some two decades. Only recently has it become an economic power, and still remains poor. The idea is to progress. What you people want is for Ethiopia to become rich overnight. What you seem to forget is how poor and rural and large Ethiopia is. I travelled by bus from Addis to Lalibela, Gondar and Axum in 2000. There were no roads. No roads means no trade, which means little economic growth and lots of poverty. In 2006 I did the same trip. Roads were built and those crazy Isuzu trucks were everywhere, transferring goods and economy. Your article is propoganda and does not look at facts.

Ethiopians’ big problem is laying unable to speak the truth from generation to generation. False speaking is a generational issue in Ethiopia. For instance H.Silase and Minilik started, Mengistu continued and Meles increase the falsehood by billion fold.No one in Ethiopia provides true data for research or for other things. Go to rural Ethiopia and ask a farmer how many kids he has. He will answer two or three in reality he has at least 5 kids. Meles cadires always double or triple crop production data to get promotion. So it is hard to get a solid data to estimate economic growth of Ethiopia. Meles tells the parliament what his cadires told him he doesn’t even understand demand and supply laws. So we cannot blame him. However, as a state leader he has to know the country and the people he is leading.

Aba Kifayi,
I don’t really know whether you purpossly ignored the implication of lion synbol on Ethiopian old biased flag or may you did not understand the implication. A lion on Ethiopian flag is symbol of minorty ethnic christian relgion. As you know Ethiopia is a country of people with different religion, but the radical ethnic religious fanatic symbol bias aganist other Ethiopian religion. You can not honestly say this is Ethiopian flag. The EPRDF flag is also represent TPLF so called star fighters. It does not represent all Ethiopian. Red, Yellow, Green is the symbol of African independent from colony. It’s better to use red, yellow and green flag.

It important to understand the implication of symbols or marks.

Birtukan’s story represents the struggle women across the world The bravery of these women despite all odds is inspirational. Women everywhere are paying a personal price for their political reality. It is these women, and the millions of women survivors of conflict who are striving every day to carry on in the midst of astronomical challenges, who are pushing us forward in the global women’s movement. It is these women who are standing up for peace and equality, finding their voices and speaking truth in the face of oppression and fear. These women deserve to have their voices heard.

Birtukan Mideksa, an Ethiopian prisoner of conscience who is facing life imprisonment for speaking out against an oppressive government. Birtukan is an opposition leader of the Unity for Democracy and Justice (formerly Coalition for Unity and Democracy) party and is advocating for democracy
Women are often faced with another layer of community and traditional demands, like Birtukan
Ethiopia is still struggling to overcome oppression and establish political freedom. The parliamentary elections in 2005 violent protests, which led to the arbitrary arrest and detainment of hundreds of opposition leaders, journalists, human rights advocates and civilians. Birtukan was one of those arrested in 2005, and she received a life imprisonment sentence. Then, in 2007, Birtukan received a pardon and was released from prison, only to be put back into prison once more in 2008 for discussing the details of her prior arrest. Her original sentence of life imprisonment has since been reinstated.
Much of Birtukan’s time in prison has been spent in solitary confinement. The only people allowed to visit Birtukan are her mother and her four-year-old daughter. Before her arrest, Birtukan was the main provider for her family, who is now suffering not only emotionally but also financially from Birtukan’s imprisonment. She is not allowed to meet with any legal representation and the government refuses to listen to her needs. There are even reports that she is being denied medical treatment, despite numerous requests for a physician. The Red Cross and other humanitarian officials are being denied access to the prison, and the exact treatment of Birtukan is unknown.

The symbol Meles Zenawi placed in the middle of the Ethiopian flag is commonly known as pentagram as it is sometimes referred as pentalpha (five pointed star)that ancient Greece and the Babylonians used to identify their faith. The Waccian religious sect used this symbol as their symbol of faith just as the Jews used the Star of David (six pointed star) as their symbol of faith just as much as the cross was and is used by Christians. From christians’ point of view in recent understanding, however, the symbol is the manifestation of suffering and and nothing else. Christians interpreted these five pointed star as the sign of CHRIST’S suffering by the Romand (you may say by the jews too) and the five pointed stars indicate the nail that peneterated Jesus’s two hunds, two legs and the one arrow that pierced the side of Jesus by the Roman guard. SO no one need to wonder why Meles choose this symbol that has nothing to do with the muslim and the christian faith but his wish for the suffering of both. History will answer the question.

All Ethiopian Emperors have kept the lion even befor the so called civilized Europeans began to use the lion as their symbol of power.

The black lion of Ethiopia does not have any religious symbolism.
It is a Zionist and white supremacists conspiracy to eradicate our lion from the nathional flag, from the Ethiopian Air ines etc. etc.
Those who have no histroy, hate the existance of Ethiopia and want to steal our legacy in the heart of Africa by any means necessary.
Ethiopüia is the only ancient Black state in the World. That makes them sick.

It is a question of time. The Military junta collapsed. So also the puppet Bantustan regieme of Melese Zenawi will perish.

I agree, the two Woyanes jumped the gun, see no evil hear none. I found it interesting the way he framed it. Where is all Woyanes puting the money they steal? can they be track down? A friend told me they use family names to stash it but not hard to find out. I want to know how we can find out. Any suggestion?

The new law should help track them down.

Amen to all the narratives. Prophesies and predictions want be accomplished without adhering to the the common goals for unity, territorial integrity of Ethiopia and Ethiopians with liberal but not revoltionary democracy of soverign country and sovereign citizens with private ownership of land anywhere in Ethiopia, fostering private enterprize, rather than EFFORT enterpise of eploitation as well as political and economical strangle hold of the country by TPLF and TPLF affiliated enterprises is no different than economomy run by an external occuppying force. It appears like a free enterprse for for TPLF and TPLF affiliated enterprises and democracy for TPLF and TPLF affilated cadres and supporters. Those supporters fall into the catagories: hard core TPLF members, teletafi parties, loyalist opposition party supporters, individuals implicated with the current regime seeking the lesser of two evils, individuals, who put their interest ahead of national interest, and hard core supporters of TPLF/eprdf regime, seeking the lesser of two evils along with Security, Agazi, Federal Police and Military forces are the forces to be reckoned with as the upkeep of ethnic and secessionist politics and/or policies written in the constitution that the author labels as an apartheid regime of divide and rule, with boundries set by languages instead of the original provinces, endorsing “Ethnic Federalism” instead of “State Ferderalism”, which would bring Eritrea into the new set up by the freewill of the oppressed silent majority of Eritreans and the silent majority of Ethiopians of the the motherland Ethiopia, a beacon for the freedom of Africans, and a beacon for 21st centrury democratic country in Africa. These vision would not be achieved by none others than the parties standing for unity, territorial integrity, sovereignity of Ethiopia and and Ethiopians with liberal and/or Social democracy.

BS You are really a Bull Shit. The writer has a good understanding of socioeconomic situation that is happening right now in Ethiopia. Meles in his speech used to put tigray as a separate country. He used to say “if the Ethiopian situation supports the tigray revolution we will go to get rid of the dergue”, “if not we will go for total liberation of tigray.” Tigray is liberated and became a burden to the other Ethiopian parts.” For 20 years little tigray manage to drag back the Ethiopian nation 4 or 5 generation. Before tigray used to mock at Mnyilk, callin him “Emye Mnyil.” With same mouth they barfed they sold out the country beyond belief. What do you think we shoul call them:- “emye meles”, “emye gebru”. I for my self don’t give them that kind of pride. It will be appropariate to call them “shumbash meres” “muntaz gebru” “muntaz amberebr” or what ever his name is. I called him by his eprp name.He was one of the member of those lampun groups while he was in eprp.

In Judaic Religion, statute(symbolic image of any kind) is the manifestation of sin that was so common in the ancient world. Baal Herculus and other false gods were known in building such statute while they were still alive. To our shame, a sinner, a murderer, a drug adicted man, and a former New Yorker, and a re-born Ethiopian, Debtera Paulos had repeated such rickless act which leads him to “koras” .. i.e. separation from G-D in the world to come.

I think the white aparthiede system in southren africa is far better than TPLF’s aparthiede system in ethiopia.The white aparthiedors had built south africa, no one had lootted and hidden billions of dollars in the foreign banks , no single leader of south africa had taken billions of dollars from foreign banks as TPLF’ gangisters have been doin
for the last 35 years. can you immagine meles and sebhat’s gangisters group sold 3o,ooo tones of sand for 1m dollars when millions of ethiopians died from hunger in tegeray.ethiopians must stand together to free ethiopia and it ppl from these lawless lootters and bandits.

This Abune deserves nothing .This Abune has not defended the Ethiopian Orthodox church, since he become head of Ethiopian Orthodox church, missionaries & pentes religion has been swarming the country left right & centre, even some missionary managed to convert most of the Ethiopian family to different kind of Christianity and take their kids for adoptions abroad, so Abune, what makes you think you deserve a Golden status?

that is it. it is time to call a spade a spade . The article tells exactly what kind of system has been in place in Ethiopia for the last 20 years. however, he is still modest to call the culprits by name. let me do it for him. The damn tigres are the whites of the woyane apartheid regime and the rest of Ethiopians are the victimized blacks of this evil regime. 95% of Ethiopians are know it very well. most speak about it behind closed doors for different reasons. Those in Ethiopia do not say it because of fear of retribution. In Ethiopia, It is acceptable to denounce the victims who are the rest of Ethiopians than the thieves who have some connection to this dusty, no good arid land called tigrai. The people in this region have nothing to call it their own. Either they have to beg or rob to live. They have always injured Ethiopia and Ethiopians by colluding with foreign enemies or working against the wishes of the Ethiopian people. some of those in diaspora have their selfish reasons while others are simply naive to admit the truth. Ato. gizachew of andenet has opened up the can when he equates the future of Ethiopian opposition struggle to that of black south Africans who fought apartheid. Yes, let us call a spade a spade. let us fight this racist regime and its goons who will never get satisfied sucking the blood of Ethiopians.

My dear ኧረጉድ,

Most Ethiopian Muslims are Muslims only in name: they do not understand the evil nature of Islam and its founder, Muhammad, the false prophet and the rapist.

Quran teaches the Muslims to kill the non believers, the Christians, and the Jews: Qur’an 2:191 “And kill them wherever you find and catch them. Drive them out from where they have turned you out; for Al-Fitnah (polytheism, disbelief, oppression) is worse than slaughter.”

The prophet Muhammad says: “Tabari IX:69 “Killing disbelievers is a small matter to us.” Muhammad believes in killing rather than in making peace with his opponents: Tabari VIII:141 “The battle cry of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah that night was: ‘Kill! Kill! Kill!’”

Qur’an:9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”

Qur’an:9:29 “Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.”

Qur’an:8:39 “Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah.”

Qur’an:8:39 “So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world).”

Qur’an:9:123 “Fight the unbelievers around you, and let them find harshness in you.”

Qur’an:4:84 “Then fight (Muhammad) in Allah’s Cause. Incite the believers to fight with you.”

Qur’an:4:10 “And do not relent in pursuing the enemy.”

The punishment for a Muslim who lives his faith and joins another faith is death. He will be killed. Quran 4:90 says: “If they turn back from Islam, becoming re renegades, seize them and kill them wherever you find them.”
Renegades, seize them and kill them wherever you find them.”

Muslims are told to avoid touching women at all before their prayers because they fear them may be unclean, but Aisha, Muhammad’s child wife narrates: “The prophet used to lean on my lap and recite Quran while I was in menses (period).” (Sahih al- Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 6, Number 296)

Also Aisha said: “If one of us was having her menstrual period, Allah’s Messenger ordered her to come to him for sexual intercourse while she is on the peak of her period.” (Hadith of Sahih Muslim, Vol. I, Page 590)

Muhammad’s other wife reported: “The Messenger of Allah used to have sexual intercourse with me during my menstrual period, while a piece of garment is between us.” Aisha was 9-year-old girl when Muhammad raped her when he was 53 years old. Judge for yourself now what kind of prophet he had been, and that is the reason many scholars call him a pedophile prophet. He had also sex with a dead woman (Hadith 34424 Kanezel omall….)

http://www.topix.com/forum/religion/isla

Muhammad’s teaching about women:

Quran 4:34 says that Allah has made men superior to women. If a woman rebel, beat her up.

Abu Dawud 11, 214, Muhammad said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife.

Buhhari 3, 48, 826, Muhammad asked, “Is not the value of a woman’s eye-witness testimony half that of a man’s?” A woman said, “Yes.” He said, “That is because a woman’s mind is deficient.”

Quran 4:11 says: “It is in this manner that Allah commands you concerning your children: A male should receive a share equal to that of two females….”

Generally speaking, Muhammad was a false prophet, and Islam is not a religion of peace; it is a cult. Muhammad’s Allah is a moon god; it is a devil. God never spoke to Muhammad. Quran is a fiction, not a book of prayer.

Now, my great concern is how can I help my 40 million Ethiopian Muslim brothers and sisters who have been deceived by the Imams and the Mullahs for such a long time? The best way I can help them is to tell them who Muhammad was and what kind of religion he had left; then it is up to them to decide whether to leave Islam and join Christianity or stay with their false religion. However, if they try to establish the Sharia law in Ethiopia, then I will fight them and give my life to my country.

If we pray hard, it is possible the merciful Father, Jesus Christ, will give us a leader who fears and loves God like King Lalibela, Yukono Amlak, and እምዬ Menelik II; we have just to ask God day and night.

Please share those Quran verses with some of our Ethiopian Muslim brothers and sisters.

Thank you for your comment!
