Ethiopia - Meles Zenawi: A Terrorist Fighting War on Terror?

Meles Zenawi: A Terrorist Fighting War on Terror?

December 29, 2006.
anuakjustice.org

Who is Prime Minister Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia? Is he the free world’s partner in the War on Terror or is he a terrorist? The answer might depend upon whom you ask. To his own people of Ethiopia, you might hear stories of human rights abuses, political prisoners, Internet censorship and suppression of freedom, but he is representing himself quite differently to outsiders, especially now that he has diverted the attention of the international community from his own serious political problems to his new war with Somalia, assisted by the United States.
Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia
As he publicly is presented as being pro-Christian, pro-democracy and a legitimate anti-terrorist partner, his record in his own country defies these descriptions and instead places him on the opposite side of each.

Even the news coverage has nearly universally failed to emphasize the crisis facing Ethiopians under his own seventeen-year-old regime. As Meles is riding high with public recognition, Ethiopians, especially those who live in the United States, Canada or Europe, are discouraged with one-sided coverage that has not even mentioned the fact that Ethiopia has turned into a repressive and abusive police state where its own citizens live in fear and silence.

As a result, few average Americans, Canadians or Europeans know about the severity of widespread human rights abuses, the hijacking of the National Election of May 2005 when Meles declared his party the winners despite evidence to the contrary, the killing of 193 peaceful unarmed protestors by security forces under the control of Meles, the imprisonment of elected opposition leaders and thousands of other political prisoners and the religious conflict in Ethiopia that eyewitnesses report were incited by government troops following Meles’s much used tactic of fomenting conflict. He has been an agent of terror in Sidama, Ogaden, Oromia, Amhara, Tigray, Gambella and continues to perpetrate brutality, oppression and suppression to his people throughout all of Ethiopia.

Neither does he represent any religion. Meles was schooled in Marxist/Leninist/atheistic principles, which he appears to heartily follow while speaking the foreign language of democracy, words of which he seems to have no understanding.

In the last few days of media coverage in the United States, Canada, Europe and elsewhere overwhelmingly calls this dangerous conflict in the Horn of Africa, a war between Christian Ethiopia and Islamic extremist terrorists in Somalia who declared a holy Jihad on Ethiopia. However, first of all Meles Zenawi, according to many Ethiopians, was never really elected in the last election; and therefore, many reject the notion that he can even speak for Ethiopians let alone declare war for them. Regardless, even as the recognized political leader, the basic premises he has offered for engaging in this war are severely flawed.

First of all, Meles states that he was “dragged” into this war to stop the terrorists who declared Jihad against Ethiopia. What is not explained is that Meles had sent 8000 troops across international borders, penetrating into Somalia, before such a declaration of Jihad was made. The New Islamic Courts agreed to have a dialogue if he first removed the troops; however, he would not and even failed to admit until recently, that he had sent these troops across country lines. He called Somalia a threat even though they never invaded Ethiopia.

Secondly, the transitional government he was supporting is made up of persons he was involved in choosing when this government was set up in Kenya two years ago with the assistance from the United Nations. These leaders he is supporting are described as warlords who have been corrupt and unable to establish stability, peace and the rule of law within Somalia over this two-year period of time. The people of Somalia want stability, but Meles has little to offer Somalis as there is little stability in Ethiopia and the potential for further deterioration in his own country is at an all-time high. If he had such concern, why has he not offered constructive help in the past? Why is he doing this now?

Thirdly, news coverage indicates that he is representative of “Christian” Ethiopia despite the fact that Ethiopia is a country where the number of Christians is about equal to the number of Muslims, both of which have been living peacefully, side by side for many years. Instead, the well-accepted opinion is that Meles Zenawi operates as a communist and an atheist who has followed policies more reminiscent of authoritarian and brutal dictators the likes of Stalin. He reportedly has good relations with Omar Al-Bashir of the Sudan who has a notorious history of persecuting Christians in Southern Sudan and of committing a genocide in Darfur while at the same time, upholding Sharia law in Khartoum. It makes one doubt Meles’s motives in Somalia.

In addition, reports from eyewitnesses were received in early October regarding the religious conflict in the Oromia region of Ethiopia, between Christians and Muslims, alleging that Meles’s defense troops and pro-government militias incited the attacks, yet these attacks were blamed on Muslims said to have been trained in Somalia. It appears that Meles is attempting to incite a religious conflict that will enrage people from both sides if they fall for it. Without wide news coverage of the truth, well-meaning people will be very vulnerable to believing this calculated propaganda and will take sides that will further divide us on religious lines. We have enough real misunderstanding and threats in this world that we do not need to stir up problems where none or few existed before. Both Christians and Muslims should abhor being used in this way.

Fourthly, Meles states he has been dragged into a war to fight against extremist terrorists, yet he is a terrorist himself! Ask the people who live under him. Ask the Anuak, the Oromo, the Ethiopian Somali in the Ogaden region, the Sidamo people and they will tell you themselves. In fact, he may possibly face charges for crimes against humanity for the murder of 424 educated Anuak leaders in a massacre that began in December of 2003. One of the first men murdered was a devout Christian pastor whose church was growing in Gambella, Ethiopia. Ethiopian National Defense Forces, in a government plan called, Operation Sunny Mountain, also murdered other church members at a prayer meeting in the pastor’s home. Since that time some believe 2000 more Anuak have been killed.

Even this week, we have received reports, yet uncorroborated, that Meles has supplied arms to a tribe in Southern Sudan with the directive of killing Anuak there; however, the plan may have backfired when the guns were used against another group who had cattle. Early reports indicate that the government of northern Sudan gave tacit permission for the arms to be used against the Anuak.
Just look at the recent reports from the International Human Rights Clinic at Harvard University, titled “We are now hoping for death”: Violence and Grave Human Rights Abuses in Gambella, Ethiopia”, http://www.law.harvard.edu/programs/hrp/clinic/documents/ETHIOPIAREPORT.pdf and another report completed for UNICEF, titled “Livelihoods and Vulnerabilities Study, Gambella Region of Ethiopia” http://www.allthingspass.com/journalism.php?catid=13# released by one of its authors, regarding the ongoing human rights violations against the Anuak. This is not only the case for the Anuak, but for millions of other Ethiopians who live in fear and terror from their own government. How can Meles free others when his own people are not free?

Fifthly, can Meles offer peace, stability and the rule of law to Somalia when these do not exist in Ethiopia? The evidence is plentiful that Meles has little to offer to the people of Somalia and should take care of his own problems first. He and his party, the EPRDF, have not earned the legitimate right to speak for Ethiopians. Instead Ethiopians have been betrayed when the election was stolen in 2005 and excessive force was used to silence the outcry.

Meles is spreading a parasite that has been eating and infecting the Ethiopian people. He is now taking it to Somalia. Ethiopians are faced with a chronic food shortage, high incidences of HIV/AIDS, the widespread lack of clean water and poor educational opportunities despite millions of dollars from donor countries over the last seventeen years of Meles’ leadership. Ethiopians were hoping that investments would be made in the people, our best natural resource, improving the lives of Ethiopians, but this has not happened to most. The average Ethiopian lives on less than $1 per day. Human rights abuses, the imprisonment of journalists, political leaders and opposition leaders and the daily fear of terror and oppression holds our country men and women captive while at the same time we Ethiopians are forced to invade Somalia with promises that we can deliver something better than what we have ourselves? This does not make sense!

Instead, it only may serve to take the focus off the internal problems and overwhelming popular dissatisfaction with the current government, lengthening Meles’s control over Ethiopians and others in the Horn. Meles said Ethiopian troops had killed a thousand Somalis, but never mentioned how many Ethiopians were killed in what appears to be a war for his survival. If he survives, more Ethiopians will die as well, all casualties of this small clan led by another warlord, Meles Zenawi.

What we need is not clans, tribes or ethnic groups competing for political control or we will earn ourselves another terrorist from within. Instead we need to change to becoming a broader, more inclusive “pan-Ethiopia” rather than attempting to be “multi-ethnic Ethiopia.” We must see each Ethiopian as being a human being, a unique child of God. We should speak for the rights not only for our family, our ethnic group, our religious group or any other “group,” but we should speak for universal rights for every Ethiopian.

Each of us can speak up for such an Ethiopia! You do not have to be a political leader to influence at least one person around you! May God hold Ethiopia together and allow us to think “big,” way beyond our own groups to our nation, region and continent. God values every life as equal.

However, our biggest challenge right now for Ethiopians who live in the United States is to not become so discouraged by the United States’ support of Meles in his war on Somalia that we lose our focus. Instead, as we hear the news repeatedly provide a one-sided report such as has been the case the last few days, take the opportunity to call in to radio stations, TV stations or write letters to the editor of papers and magazines, providing the other side. We can speak up in our communities and churches. We can call our senators and representatives to Congress.

We have an obligation to educate others regarding what is truly happening in our country and urge them to take action. Government policy makers need to hear from us. As individuals, they may be influenced by our individual stories and the information we know first hand. Policies and systems can change because they are the by-products of individuals who can change.

When we speak up, we must speak with respect, patience and honesty if we expect to be heard. Anger and disrespect will sabotage our efforts. Former President Gerald Ford died this week. He was known for his ability to effectively communicate with others and was quoted as saying, “You can disagree with others without being disagreeable!” Ethiopians may disagree with American foreign policy in Ethiopia and Somalia, but we must find an effective way to communicate this not only to policy makers, but also to average citizens who probably have little understanding about what is going on in Ethiopia unless all of us take responsibility for getting out the facts.

American citizens need to know that the reason so many Ethiopians and people from all over the world want to come to this country is because of the liberty, rule of law, human rights and opportunity we so cherish here. But right now, it is the US that is supporting this regime because Meles has convinced them that he is needed in the War on Terror. But his partnership comes with a cost, much of which is being dearly paid by the people of Ethiopia who simply want to enjoy basic freedom in their own country.

Those who are citizens of the United States, Canada or Europe should speak out against our own country’s policies that hold up regimes such as that of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. We should hold our media accountable for one-sided coverage by doing our best to give them the other side, helping them to see how failing to do so, prolongs an abusive and brutal government where men, women and children are the casualties.

News coverage has been calling the war with Somalia one between “a Christian nation” and “an Islamic extremist nation.” But as Meles spreads the message throughout Ethiopia and now to Somalia of hate, division, ethnic cleansing and lies, he does not stand for principles laid out by Jesus Christ. That message is of love, justice, mercy, hope, freedom and redemption. May people of all faiths or of no faith at all, not be confused by a “wolf in sheep’s clothing!” May those of us who enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not interfere with others wanting the same! May God accomplish more than we could ask in this beautiful land of Ethiopia!

Great post but with one correction.

The 193 people that were massacared in Ethiopia were not all from the streets. Many of them were murdered in their own home.

It is really disappointing to hear yet another genocidal act committed by the gang in power in Ethiopia.
More so is the fact that this gang enjoys the unreserved backing of the so called superpower of the world.
The irony is that, this same gang has incarcerated and charged its political opponents with a farce charge of "genocide."

It is not puzzling to see a country stronger in military capacity while extremely week in fighting hunger and food insecurity. It is true that some of the poorest countries such as ours gain military strength through harsh and inhuman first hand exercises on their own citizens, being led by ignorant militants who took power through rule of gun than democracy.
Wish we were strong on poverty and than aggression.

The people who are writing such articles are part of the problems they are eager to list one after another. While it is true that there is political instability and human rights abuses in the country, it is also true the very same people who claim to be victimized are the ones who caused the instabilty and the suffering in the country. After the last year's relatively fair election, they chose not to join the parliament. By instigating violence and anarchy, they dared Meles into this position. Now, they are wailing everywhere for the problems the country is facing. Shameless as they are, they don't even mention their part in this whole drama of man made chaos in our country. The good news is that slowly but surely most Ethiopians are recognizing the true story. Until the so called opposition leaders, their members and others take responsibility and work to a genuine resolution, Ethiopians won't take them seriously. They are exposed. Ethiopia needs development as much as democracy. I call on all to help the government keep on doing what it has been doing, especially in the areas of development and democratization process. Ignore these power hungry, shaabiya sponsored diasoprans.

The only functioning muscle in your body is in your mouth.

Anyway, I think the EPRDF is reintroducing the meaning of Jegna which has been absent since Emperors Theodros, Yohannes, etc...

by the way, Congratulations to all Real-Ethiopians on the victory over the UICs/AFD-Kahadis!

I just think that the author of this article is missing the point...I know you are trying to lable Meles as a terorist, but your justification fails to prove that. What would you do if you were on his shoe when UIC throw all kind of stones... Please don't take me wrong I'm not here trying to support Meles I'm just trying to see in a different angle... If you oppose Meles on one thing Please do so on that specific occurence, but don't tell me that everything Meles does is wrong... We need to Unite when it comes topic which affects the Mather land. Meles may be wrong on the way he handles the May15th election, but not the way He handles the Somalia case.

Proud to be Ethiopian

The Prime Minster of Ethiopia is the leader to watch. The Ethiopian warriors has done a magnificent job under his leadership. I am not going to dwell in the past, but Now, and the Future. As of now, Prime Minster Zenawi has done a great job. As for the future, we have to wait and see.

Abyssinia, historically a great country; country once ruled by (Najashi). King that not only professed chiristianity but practiced the the gospel he believed, noteably for his just rule; when he stop a group of arab pagans to take back some of the companions of prophet Muhammed who fled to Abbysinia in around 567 AD. Now, unfortunately that Abbysinia became where oppresion and injustices are the norm and such a king replace by people who are self obsessed with power and money who don't know why they fighting for and necessary war. Look Kenya next door to Somalia and inhabitants a large somalis like Ethiopia. Yet they have chosen to stay a way from conflicts that are unwinable even though Nairobi was the seen of the 1998 American-Embassy bombing. I hope Meles regime will understand prosperity lies with peace not war.

Poor people in this world have no voice. They are being massacared by TPLF regime as well as the Sudan regime. Peace is very powerful force that will win over the many years of suffering. Peace will bring hope for the future. Those who continue to abuse power in East Africa will not succeed. Peace will suceed.

Dear all,

OOPS - CUDites have nothing more to say as the member of their beloved alliance i.e. AFD have been shredded to bits - i.e. I am referring to the fake organisation i.e. Alliance for Freedom and Democracy to which CUD and the Ogaden National Liberation Front a meaningless entities.

Ethiopia's Defence Forces shown their professionalism and dedication to shred all the Anti-Ethiopia elements where ever they reside.

If this makes (EDF) a terrorist apparatus let it be.

What is your problem you are no more dying of starvation. When you say that you are from Ethiopia here; there response is 'you are lucky you must be eating well here' !!! At least Meles let them not forget his birth please Aduwa and Awalom and Balcha and Tsehyto. They now see Ethiopians are one of the best and gallant fighters in the world. Even the same war lords did harm the great military power in the history of the world. We were never bothered by colonialists and we will not allow extremists and terrorists to disturb our way of life. 'ke eshoh gare yete tega ( that leaf less plant that has milky fluid)Kulqual zewoter endalekese yenoral.'
we never hug evil, it comes to steal to kill and to destroy. Just shut up and let us develope the country with the money we would have spend on armament. Since it will be replenished by friends in high place. It is a blessing in disguise or killing two birds with one stone. It is better than a million death during Haileselasse time and another half a million perished; while Mengestu was throwing a party with ten million dollars worth of whisky. You see the tiny hair in your brothers eye but you could not see the big spear that is on your eyes. Don't point your index finger at a blameless person because the other four are pointing at you.

kuku, and the likes

I hate to be Woyane! by these guys Ignorance. I am becoming Woyane slowly because these Morons have the wrong information inplanted in their head.

FACTS

1) Meles is not a terorist

2) Meles is the Prime Mister of Ethiopia incase you don't know

3) Meles brought equality/freedom by sacrificing his youth age to struggle for truth.

4) Meles is the only politicial with genuine Integrity that I saw until today. Next is Lidetu Ayalew at least he is genuine and he will show the rest in the future.

5) Meles is the only poletician that I saw calling a Spade a Spade and a Moron a Moron!!

6) Meles is the only politician who always give ample warning (>3) to his opositions

7) Meles is the only politician who never killed his oponents but let them face Justice in Court! (What ever the level of freedom of the court might be)

8) Meles is the only politician who thought 10 times before waging war! When he wages finishes it with in a speed of light, with 100% success and Pride!

9) Meles is the only politician who is loved by all ethinic groups, respected by the whole world for that matter.

10) Meles is the only politician which I saw writing books and teaching his Party members name it Bonapartism, Abiyotawi democracy, what ever

11) Meles is the only politician who created a new kind of democracy "Abiyotawi Democracy" which will soon be part of the next release Oxford dictionary, may be it it now :)

12) Meles is the only person who does not bite from back! Too proud to even mess around with garbage people.

13) I thought it was meles who has a very Mature, big, rich CV, where his CV could be verified and all his actions imprinted in history. Starting from the "Best Gorella Fighter", "Progressive Leader", "Astute and Smart Poletician", "Deplomat from Mars", "Born to do something real", MBA through distance education, Phd by hard work and Real life Proof not by some fake Thesis, etc ..


14) This is just the tip from an iceburg

So if some Moron, with No CV or what so ever of work experience, who run away dergu rather than fight for his freedom, who crossed thousand of miles through the Atlantic for his personal gain to feed his big Belly, Who is living as a slave, who is retarded and doomed to think nothing but negative, if some one who is just a lunatic ever critisizes or call Meles a terorist, it won't surprise me.

What this ANUAK CUD trying to tell us?
Go and tell such BS for Payne guy not for us. We know what we are doing.
1, Tell to some of your people who had offered full democracy but not trying to obey the law.

2, Pepper and talk is very cheap in W.DC, so who cares about your spiting, even you can furt.

3, Tell to your coward CUD garbage looter partners who were motivating you to do such shit. If you shout or not they (the CUD tugs) will face justice, because they incited and inciting death for our poor people like you.

4, Our last step is to filtrate the people like you to differentiate weather you are with us or with the enemy!
Finally, ETHIOPIA AND ETHIOPIANS WERE NON OF YOU BUSINESS.
Listen my freind don't talk about election every day and night.

By the way, are you OK?
I don't think so, because we are very very and very far far away from where you are.

Do you know our true history?

Historians are already putting together the narrative of this hitherto unheard of victory sweep by the heroic Ethio-Somali forces!

10) Meles is the only politician which I saw writing books and brainwashing his Party members.

11) Meles is the only politician who created a new kind of democracy "Abiyotawi Democracy" which will continue to grip his POWER despite against the people WILL.

12) Meles is the only person who does not bite from back but Swallowed the WHOLE thing same as ANACONDA !

13) I thought it was meles who has a very Mature, big, rich CV, where his CV could be verified and all his actions imprinted in history. Starting from the "Best Gorella Fighter", "Progressive Leader", "Astute and Smart Poletician", "Deplomat from Mars", "Born to do something real", MBA through distance education, Phd by hard work and Real life Proof, etc included all FAKE DOCUMENTS..


14) This is just the tip of his UGLINESS.


Funny PARASITE, look at your people skinny and almost bloodless caused by your blood sucking PARASITE!

Funny:
u r really funny!
Whatever you said is real, provided that and if u r victim of Meles's deceptive speech. He got nice CV in deceiving the whole world and a lot of people appreciates him becuse of his realistic and true looking but false speeches. Otherwise, Mr Obang give a nice title to the true picture of Meles. He is terorist, killing and harrassing his own people but claims he is unti terrorist to gain diplomatic & financial assistance from truly untiterrorist nations. Time will soon reveal all his deeds.
God Bless Ethiopia!

Right Action!!!
We all heard that the "Islamic Court" was instigating Ethiopians who speak the Somali language to divide Ethiopia. They were trying to destablize the integrity of our nation. Sooner or later war was to follow in the hinterland. We cannot afford to wait until that happens. Hence the Ethiopian military has to be on the offensive before the war comes to Ethiopian territory.
As regards cessation of Ogaden or any other nationality, this is not the desire of peoples. It is the desire of political elites and power mongers. For people what is needed is genuine democracy -- freedom in all aspects of life -- economic, social and what have you. And freedom is more to be achieved in unity rather than desintegration. Democracy is meanigless if if does not enyoy unity of diversity. Stalinism does not work anymore.
The history of Meles is also a coincidence. This is an opportune situation that suspends his problems at home. Americans are using him as their tool, without understanding that Ethiopians in general are anti-terrorists historically and for ever. Meles cannot remain a dictator for long. Never be foolish, Ethiopians know many things and his time will come, too.

Comment from: Eshetu Daba [Visitor]
Cheche: Your ignorant leaders are the ones who committed jenocide when they starved to death one million Ethiopians; one due to ignorance tried to hide it from the world, as he claimed my country is the bread basket of the world; until it is doccumented by a British Journalist. We are ashamed to say we are from Ethiopia for people every where are traumatised for good with that genocidal image.The other was throwing a party that cost ten million dolars worth of whisky for his ten bloody years of dictatorship. Between the two of them they comitted untold crime of genocide against the Erirerean people. Countless jenocide has been committed by Menilik against the southern nations.
Meles is the only bright starleader of Ethiopia, who burns like a candle is marching Ethiopia out of its misery. There is greater democracy for all Ethiopians than even in the United State where blacks are 15% of the population but of the one hundered senators. There was not one representative until receantly. Freedom of speech and the press is too elastic in Ethiopia than any other country in the world,where the oposition party dessiminates falsehood daily. Civil liberties are second to noon. Criminals who incited violence and resulted in the death of seven polic officers must be prosecuted to the full extention of the law. A rioters in Los Angeles, Detroit, and other major cities are shot by the thousands. Democracy does not entertain anarch and lawlessness; if you want that go to Somalia. Ethiopia is in a renaicense, and the world is watching in amazement. There is a double digit economic growth and mor people have come out of poverty in the rural areas of Ethiopia and are living as good a life as the city dweller who only waits for a government check for pretending to be working. Don't ask for genocide we have seen it in Ruwanda and the Iberian peninsula. We have seen it in Searaleon, liberia and the Congo. Don't ask for it your wish may be granted; yekotun awardalhu bela ye bebeton ta lech.
Your problem is not Meles, it is your eroneous expectation of entitlement of a leisure class who live as a parsite exploiting the poor. Feudalism is gone, dictatorship is not acceptable; just leave us alone and enjoy the freedom and the progress that we achieved throw our blood from the suppression of the Feudalists and the dictators. Those idols of yours never gave a speech in public against Haileselase and Mengistu the were at there service.
Get some who can walk the walk and talk the talk if you can and Ethiopia is a democracy where any one of her children could dream to be the next minister and prime minister and President irrespective of ones heritage.
If you are looking for a better democracy go to Esayas's Eritrea the door is wide open. You will go in while you hardly pass through the door and you will easily passes through the eye of the needle. He cant tolorate any one who even utters the word free anything. Good luck. We are prowed of our leaders, our democracy and civil liberty. We are satisfied with a fast growing economy, a modernizing Capital City and a gallan defence force that exhibited its first class military training in action. Ethiopia today is a respected and fast developing nation we will go forward and never look backward towards Sodom and Gomora least what happened to Lots Wife will not be our fate too.

Mr. Zenawi can be called a 'terrorist' in only one sense: and that is in the sense that he puts terror in the hearts of terrorists anywhere! So, yes, he does terrorize terrorists!

Thank God for that!

Stop crying and start appreciating Meles. If it was up to CUDs, Addis would have been a capital for middle east pedophiles.

The Akrari diasporas sat and out-aged the Feudals and the communists.

EPRDF outsmarted and overmuscled the mighty dergue, Eritrea, CUD diaspora, now the mighty and feared UIC.


ps. I think we should go to Afgan, and Iraq to end this mess.

2. Men wake up into the real world from your cell

3. You are not supposed to accept or believe what has been said, you just have to know the facts

4. You all are Morons!!!

The prime minister is a genius, a hardworking and a good fighter. People in oppositon hate him because they know he is beating them in every game they try him.

May God bless him with more wisdom,health!

Poor Meles who seems clever but proved to be feeble minded with the lowest IQ.

Facts for the above statement:
- Instead of waging jihad against poverty and starvation he prefers jihad against those who want to establish peace and rule of law.
- Instead of waging jihad to eradicate disease and sickness he prefers to spread it as witnessed during his rein.
- Instead of waging jihad to unite the people for good common cause he prefers division & havoc among the people.
- Instead of being role model leader for his people he prefers to shine shoes for Bush & cohorts.


Summary, Meles the "fighter against imperialism" turned loyal slave of imperialism. Poor Africa still lacks leaders!

Funny,
You are appericiated in telling the truth.That kind of personalities has PM MELES ZENAWI. He it the true leader of this nation not to repeat your words but he is the most forecasting leader that is one of the quality of a good head of state.The problem lies on his
" ethnic origine " as a proud TIGRE ETHIOPIAN much of the fanatic Amharas and X-members of the Dergue under the umbrella of CUDP are unhappy with him.The reasons may be that he is accomplishing much of the work of the progress ( economic,democratic,social, poletical, deplomatic and military)in this country for which the fanatic Amhara had never and ever tried while they were in power for centuries.They now the truth but they are shame to disclose it.

History repeat itself.Once up on a time(during the Iran Iraq war) USA was a strong ally of Sadam.He enjoied the superpower's admiration to kick the Iranians ignoring his own people.Americans said nothing when Sadam killd civilians with chemical weapon on the streets.They may praised him for his good governance and he feels as librator and invade Kueit at that time b/c they need him to accomplish a mission.At the end they hanged him.Watch the chronological orders:Meles is, for the time being, a strong ally of Bush.Meles enjoy Bush's admiration to kick the so calld "Jihadists".Bush said nothing when Meles private army (Agazi) killd hundreds of civillians on the streets of Addis Ababa.Meles was praised by the Bush administration as young African good governer, and he feels as librator and invade Somali b/c Bush needs Meles to accomplish a mission.Meles said, this mission is almost accomplished.Then what will be the next step?.........

The new era should start with democaracy and peace. Try to contribute your part. Those who manage to happen this, they will get the niecest place in the history of ethiopia.

I truly feel sorry for the Prime Minister to have to govern such a population.

For me, that is the ultimate punishment. It isn't the terrorism that the Prime Minister inflicts on Ethiopians, it is the terroristic torture that Ethiopians place on the Prime Minister ruling such an unruly, backward, bordering on retardation population.

YES I SAID IT!

We must forget the majority of Ethiopians. It is the only way to go forward. The FEW must organize and push, FORCEFULLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO, the 80 million.

Thus, please Mr. Prime Minister, don't abandon us. Just ignore the overwhelming majority that has done the same garbage for hundreds of years and we are where we are.

Ethiopians need your patience like a child needs the patience of a parent. When he grows up, he will understand why a parent was so stern. Please be kind, like a father is to his child. BUT PLEASE BE STERN FOR THE 80 MILLION CHILDREN NEED IT.

Wesi you are showing who realy is stupid.No body people are not going to die during any kind of confrontation.The question who are the people who came out to protest? Who were the organizers? Did they get permission to demonstrate? If they did not get permission did they tell the participants the truth?If there is a rule that require demonstrators against the government to get a permit it should have been respected, however if the the participants demonstrated in defiance of the rule of the land they are part of the problem,if the demonstrators have participated in looting, damaging property or endangering the security of the residents of their localities they are part of the problem.All these casualities could have been avoided ifthe organizers have showed respect to the rule.Wesi you have to know that democratic right comes with social responsibility.

You know? the way you saying like that, is the same way your EVIL FATHER doing. Let me open your brainless skull, . . Who will secure and assist the distribution of Aids to those hungry Ethiopians? Idiot! What they are doing our OWN armies in Somalia? INSTEAD they are securing and assisting the Aids distribution for OUR POOR FELLOW ETHIOPIANS!

Any of you who are trying to criticize Mr Zenawi, have no qulification to do so. You don't even qualify to be his Listiros!

You need to find something other than politics to bullshit about. Politics is for serious and educated minds. The Kinijit idiots thought they could just get up one morning and decide to be instant politicians! You see where that got them!

I suggest raising farm animals or some kind of work on the land. Even for that You need to intern with seasoned farmers and cattle-hands for a while. The easy way out is not going to get you too far. There is no reward without hard work, to which most of you are alergic !

Comment from: Teddy [Visitor]
My informal poll indicates 50% support Meles' actions while the other 50% agree with the authors premise.

I believe Meles demonstrated true leadership in the recent war against the Islamists. There were valid threats. As such, he received the blessing of all members in the Security Council, African Union and tacit support from the U.S. (rarely happens!)

All concerned Ethiopians agree the poor economic conditions, failed elections, killing of innocent people, human rights abuses, imprisonments and overall lack of transparancy in Ethiopia are problems that need to be addressed. This does not make Meles a failed leader.

I respect the Office of the President (Mengistu/Meles etc.) Learn from America and other civilized countries around the world. Just because you disagree with a policy does not give you a right to LABEL a person, let alone a leader of millions of people. Meles is our leader and representative.
(whether we like it or not).

Meles has some interesting challenges ahead of him. He is under the spotlight. Hopefully, this may bring a change of heart moving forward. It is only through peace forgiveness and reconciliation that countries such as ours can move forward.

God bless those 500 Ethiopians and Somalians who died in Somalia protecting our nation. Peace be with them and their family!
