meles.

PM. Meles Zenawi.

I want nazret.com to investigate since woyane is known cheating a poll.

i want to choose our queen Birtukan mideksa because she will be the best leader for ethiopia. but she hasn't done anything yet. under meles ethiopia is one of biggest economies in africa.
with 10% GDP growth, ethiopia is FASTEST NON-OIL economy in africa. this is big achievement by meles.

on democracy, meles didn't succeed enough. but we had elections and this year the parliament has developed with

- televised parliament discussion between opposition and ruling party

- a special time given for opposition parties only inside ethiopian parliament

- opposition MPs having voice to criticize meles almost in every parliament occassion

so this is historic achievements. we have to give credit where it is due.
this year ethiopia had its first commercial private radio IN HISTORY and the independent media has grown this year.

most of all i am very happy that the EPRDF decided to pardon CUD leaders to give a chance for reconciliation.
after the CUD leaders reconcile among themselves, hopefully they will reconcile with other parties too.

anyway, ethiopia is progressing under meles.
i love birtukan mideksa but she will have a chance to win this award another year when she becomes the prime minister of our country.

for this year i choose Meles Zenawi.

The person of the year should be given to Ethiopian people for thier wisdom to pass the massaccre of EPRDF.

Really funny!!

Your argument for a re-vote is very naive to say the least. This isn't a world football
Cup where it comprises of group stage and knock out stages.

Nazrets..You fail 2 be fair enough. Hahahaha..I hope out of frustration you will never steal Korojo 2 help your darling W/O Birtukan....

Anyway, Eng. Hailu supporters will make sure that Birtukan wouldn't get enough vote.

My prediction: 62% PM--38% Birtukan

To Nazret.com:
Why don't you tell us how the vote and checking mechanisms that you inplement is handled so that heating can be handled and its gonna be fair?
Thank you in advance.

To the Moderator !
How can I vote?

[See the poll in the top right side bar ---> ]

Nazret.com please don't waste our time...you already got the results twice we know U will keep on repeating until meles loses. U r an embarassment!...loosers!

Long live Meles!

Meles is 2007 great leader of Ethiopia and Africa.

the Davil vs the Human

Person of the year for killing innocent children, women, imprisoning thousands of people –trying to cross thousand and reach million, and for not telling truth. Moreover, melese can be person of the year by disintegrating the unity of two huge ethnic groups in Ethiopia-Amara and Oromo.
Birtikuan Midekesa: She could be person of the year for not being sold her profession for Money-when she was judge Melese tried to create deal for the sentence of Seya Abrha. Birtikuan mideksa is an iron lady of Ethiopia
Mohamed Al-Amoudi: Person of the year for monopolizing the natural resources of the country and beautiful women of Addis Ababa.

Meles again.

Woyane Hater

lol

Meles has accomplished a lot things with and without peaceful ways. He deserves the
Trophy. Meles era should end right here.

meles

The killer VS the victim
The merciless vs the survivor
the unfogiven vs the the peacfull
election robber vs peacfull winner
Who will be person of the year

hi Nazret

how come u compare tow different ppl i mean totally different ppl he is the smartest guy that Ethiopia get as far as i know in my age pls try not dool ur self he is real leader she is Birtukan so i vote for Meles

Would vote for Birtukan over Meles.

I say Meles Zenawi, because without him the nation and nationalities of today's Ethiopia would never exist. We standby you our PM Meles. People in Ogaden are with you and your government, in fact, we are asking you for 5 more years!!!

Neither. The people of Ethiopia don't consider these two individuals as their leaders. Both are motivated by self interest.

no doubt about Meles being the person of the year meles mels mels again and again. not only for ethiopia meles should be a man of the year in entire africa

I WOULD VOTE BERTUKAN 1000%

i would vote First Vice Chair, Coalition for Democracy and Unity Party, Ethiopia and judge.

Don't let people drive you crazy when you know it's in walking distance

Nazret.com be fair! Be democratic!

Meles already won twice! In the second round, he won by a wider margine than the second round!

The Python---Good point!

The Python,


Here is another prediction,

If Meles wins, Nazret.com will say "Meles first place, and Birtukuan second place"
But if Birtukuan wins, then they just say "Birtukuan won"

I give my vote to Meles.

I WOULD VOTE BERTUKAN 1000%

DON'T GO FAR FROM THE TRUTH OR
"YERUK NAFAKI" HOW DO YOU COMPAR
MELES WITH BERTUKAN, PERSONALY I HATE
MELES BUT MELES IS 100% BETTER THAN
BERTUKAN THAT'S THE TRUTH.

Birtukan Midheqsa

I vote MELES

Nazret,

You are becoming a child. People vote once. How come you run this poll again and again. PM No matter how many times you try Meles will be the winner.

Make sure you post my comment this time.

Utopia

for ethiopia meles no one can not .........

Don't let people drive you crazy when you know it's in walking distance

How can u compare this sweet lady with this a-rrogant, s-tupid, m-urderer, l-ire, durye,...person of our planet earth Some gullible (fara) people make him look smart…Let them be deceived by his boring and long speeches, we will get back our country very soon with the leadership of Mss Birtukan VVVVVVVVVVVV

Meles got more shows that TPLF cadres are watching this site more than any body else so it doesn't give any sense who won on this site.

Nazret, watch out! This man is well experienced in vote rigging…

So, Meles may use this poll and would say I am not gonna retire because the people want me to lead the nation.

Nazretoch,

Sorry, but you guys are pondering on a lost cause! you have failed time and again to control the Woyane lebas and hooligans from casting multiple votes. How in the world Meles Eritrawi enjoys such a huge support from the diaspora while the whole world knows including himself that this is an enemy territory except for the presence of the few paid cadres? Remember this poll does not include the rural population of Ethiopia that the woyanes best excuse to steal "Yemircha Korojo"--Leboch! Or should we accept that Meles is soo popular amongst Ethiopians in the West who have the privilege to participate in this poll? NO, the answer is those Hodam Cadres and Wonbedes are abusing the system, business as usual for them. Nevertheless, i must thank you guys for the entertainment and for bringing forward the woyane cheaters --no surprise here, we know they are capable killing babies and mothers to make look their master infallible. Hodam fools! Other than that it has no any significant value, it is like Eka Eka!

There is no comparison. What has Burtukan accomplished for the Ethiopian people that would warrant all this attention?

My vote goes to the only hope Ethiopia has in 3000 years to extricate it from poverty. He fought for this goal for the past 34 years, giving up what could have been a rewarding profession for him as a medical doctor. He is as selfless as thousands of his compatriots who perished in the mountains of northern Ethiopia for the same goal.

Didn't he just win the POLL? What's the second round crap all about?

Can someone tell me what Birtukan's accomplishments in 2007 have been? How is it
that we admire people who totally failed?Here is a simple way to look at this. If Kinijit was a corporation and Birtukan and all the other cud leaders were leaders of this corporation, would you give bonuses and stock options to them at the end of the fiscal year and you see the financial results. If I were a shareholder, I would fire her and hire Meles to lead the organization.

Birtukan is our hero. she is our person of the year.

Who will be accountable for the human blood and life scarified for the struggle of democracy in Ethiopia? The current CUDP crisis, which disappointed most of the Ethiopian people living in and in Diaspora, is still hazy and fuzzy. The only reason that can be worth mentioning is few prominent figures of this political organization are haughty, selfish and egocentric. Following their release from prison rather than going for reconciliation and negation like that of Nelson Mandela went to disparity and arrogance. They did not recognize at all their main objective of national reconciliation. Imagine, how one can think about national reconciliation who failed to reconcile with his friends. The CUDP lacks internal transparency and accountability. They talk much about democracy and are expert in theory but nonentity in practice. I think Eng. Hailu Shawel and Dr. Birhanu Nega are the primary responsible person from CUDP founders and are accountable for the highest price paid of human blood and life. Rather than being a symbol of freedom and equality, they became separatist and narrow. The possible solution to resolve the crisis is to suspend these two people and others of their likes from any position and responsibilities and if not complete dismissal.

definetly Birtukan mediksa is women of the year.

Now i am very satisfied and i can choose
between the political principle of these
two giant politician. I like meles
Zenawi in his endeavour to make Ethiopia
a stable country with educated citizens But when he becomes very angry,
for him an Ethiopia's life is like
that of a fly. He kills and abuses.........

when we come to birtukan she is
strong and humble even after all those sufferings. she respects human life.
she knows how to handle sensitive issues and th

what we need in the future is a person
who knows how to lead our great old nation
to prospirity and handels problems without casualites

You can sum the work of Nazret.com with this result!

Anyone has any problem with this conclusion? except ofcourse the Melese cadres!

The truth can delay but with patience, it will surface like oil on top of water.

Thanks Nazret.com for your true color and the role you tend to play.

MELES ALL THE WAY

WE are with you buddy,

keep up the good work

VIVA ETHIOPIA

Both Birtukan and Meles are devil for me

Eng Hailu Shawel SHOULD BE man of the Year

Birtukan Birtukan Birtukan

Meles,
1. Agents all odd his keeping Ethiopia economy float. The 9th biggest economy in africa.
2. Very articulate, he express his point.studied MBA as president,not afraid of hot topics.
3. need impovement of course, return private property...impove goverment, limit term....
All in all aginst all odd he is dynamic person with many potenial. I hope we Ethiopians move on from hate politics to embracing talents to build up our economy and catch up with the rest of the world. Ethiopians are great people with many traits the can harnsed to make us economic gaint in the Africa.

I give vote for Meles

Meles is the best

I dont know in what calculation birtukan can compute with melese??what she did for
her country??what is the difference b/n
her and me?? i was in prison for 2 years
like her,but nothing i did for my country
like birtukan.i am really surprized
why she is candidate for this poll??

VIVA Melese
but Burtkan is better for "KUNJINA WDEDR"rather than as a poletician.If she is maraid she can get green card for her ?????

I think I need to bring my wisdom to the table and vote for myself than vote for Birtukan. Can anybody tell me what birtukan did for the country than get Ethiopian image look bad by pleading for HR2003? For all of you who voted for birtukan, Can you tell me what her position is for war we are facing in Somalia, Eritrea, OPLF, and OLF? Can you say anything regarding her position on the economics of the country? I am as Amhara as you could get, but people don't vote on your ethnic line. Voting for your ethnicity without any proof of the person ability to bring some fruitful agenda on the table, it's just simply racism. Be a true Ethiopian. When you vote don't look at their ethnicity look at their agenda, how they will increase the value of your country, life, Technology, so on and on. Some of you my Amhara brothers have so much hate to the Tigraye people, you are becoming blind. The only thing you are doing by hating is hating yourself. Becuase regardless for what etnicity you belong at the end you are still Ethiopian. Be proud, love one another. Look at USA. If you ask anyone where you are from, they will tell you from NY, Ca, DC and so on, but if you ask them what country you are form they will tell you USA. You have to be pound like this. Stop hating and use your mind before you vote. If you running for office speak out of your agenda, don't act like a victim always; tell your people if you are elected what kind of difference you will bring to the whole Ethiopia, not just for your ethnicity. Yes, the majority of Meles administration has most of his ethnicity. You could complain or instead you could try to show the people in your administration you will have equal opportunity for all, and how you could assure that. The bottom line is using your head. This means to all Ethiopian, not just to Amharas, Tigrians, Oromo etc. I mean to all Ethiopians.

meles the great

This is not only about you life or my life, so please think Ethiopia and Africa when voting. Go with Meles and you won't regret it because it is the EPRDF that is changing our people's life.

how do you vote-click where or what. i do not know why the voting system is not made simple.

Would you vote for me; Birtukan is my choice.

It is Meles! Meles is my hero.

Al mariam is number one!!!

Nazret.com, has finally exposed itself that it is part of TPLF's companies. Has not been for your forgery, there is no hellish way that the world criminal, Meles Zenawi is dreamed to be the perosn of the year! Poor Woyane take some comfort at least from your puppet website!

I am wondering if w/t Birtukan would be scorring better than the Prime Minister if the whole nation of Ethiopia also went to a free and secure polling station today.

hahahaha this is really funny.how come that bastard Zenawi be a candidate for the man of the year.this must be a joke .killer,adulterer,in-human,worthless is he. foooo!!!
Birtukan!! you are really special.keep going forward irrespective of all nonsense about you!!

and the next is Birtukan but meles the blood hund should be the last. THe notorious Ethiopian Dictator Melese (name thief Legese) belongs behind the bars. He is even not a pure Ethiopian to say the least.

No question about it--Meles Zenawi hands down. As for Al Mariam, who added his name to the list. This is a contest solely for Ethiopians.

Admin, i just stumbled on the voting poll. why would you put the poll on the side with the all the ad and the junks. it is bad positioning. I suggest that you place it right above or below the contestants picture. no one would bother to see what is on the side in the middle of the junk.

Of course Mr Meles is # 1

meles got my vote.

I am surprised how Meles could even be considerd to be in the poll. It is amazing to see that whatever you do with your country you still seem to have supporters. Of all ppl how could ppl choose Meles, the guy who sold the country to whoever is willing to pay, the guy who killes innocent ppl at will, the guy who does not hesitate to dismantle the country should he feels that his power is threatend...

Meles is the monster and his place should be with his likes..the Hitlerians..the haters..and tribalist juntas of the minority northerners...period!!

please do not close the poll unless
the vote reaches 1000.

I vote for Pm Meles.

Birtukan has done nothing for Ethiopia rather
fighting for power illigaly

Although wedi Zenawi (Legese/Meles) (through his regime) has ushered in undeniable increased activities in the country, the primary beneficiaries of these activities are the party run businesses (EFFORT), TPLF/EPRDF leaders, their families, regime sympathizers, corrupt TPLF/EPRDF officials (bureaucrats) and lastly to a minute level the average person who makes a subsistence living from the low paying jobs in an inflated economy.

Despite the regime's leaders' claim of economic growth, in real terms (thanks to rising inflation & un-checked population explosion), the average citizen today perhaps is doing no better than his/her parent's or grandparents.

Wedi Zenawi has even a worse record when it comes to governance. Suffices to mention the on-going human rights abuses in Ogaden and all other parts of the country; not to mention the kangaroo courts he is directing from the executive branch (shows how much the whole 'democracy experiment' is just a show, and not to be taken seriously.

In regards to the protection of Ethiopia's soverignty, we couldn't have any worse leader than wedi Zenawi. We 're talking about the guy who has set up a time b... to disintegrate the country into several pieces by insisting the inclusion of Article 39 in the current constitution. After all, he is the same person who drafted MLLT's (Marxist Leninist League of Tigray's) program that stated "... will establish the Republic of Tigray". Moreover, the same program stated "It will liberate Eritrea from the Ethiopian colony." And further stated that it will assess possibilities to create a union between the Republic of Tigray and independent Eritrea. (Mind you! He 's never recanted or apologized publicly for those views. In fact the name of his organization to this day remains TPLF (Liberation Front), implying that is a program yet to be fulfilled.)

As recently as a couple of months ago, he and Woldesilassie (Sibhat) Nega claimed that they will stay vigilant to protect the 'territorial integrity' of Eritrea. (Listen to their interviews in Tigrigna with one of the regime's sympathizer radio stations from about a couple of months ago.)

May be wedi Zenawi is fulfilling that promise (protecting the 'territorial integrity' of Eritrea) when he recently announced that he is unconditionally accepting the EEBC's decision that handed over the town and environs of Badme, parts of Irob-land & Afar-land. After having sacrificed 35,000 - 40,000 Ethiopia's dear sons, this guy agrees to hand over sovereign Ethiopian territory for which he asked these poor guys to pay the ultimate sacrifice. It is really unconscionable to even consider this guy for the person of the year. He perhaps should be considered for the most Treasonous person (Ethiopian?)of the century.

Birtukan Mideksa personifies the hopes of millions of Ethiopians. At young age, she has already earned the respect of multitudes of Ethiopians both young and old with her perseverance and level of maturity. She definitely has the potential to become a great leader.

I vote for Birtukan Mideksa for her positive contribution to the democratic struggle and for her sacrifice to free her fellow citizens from the tyranny of Legese Zenawi's dictatorial regime.

Nazret.com, How many times are u guys to manipulate this thing? Meles demonstrated practically on the ground and on your so called "poll" that he is the MAN! What would be next? Are u guys to put him against Jesus Christ? just to say he lost? Please don't kid yourself, everybody knows what a sham poll you are doing. Anyways, I wish you sanity and fair reporting in the coming new year! Thanks.

How many times do we have to re vote until the one you liked won. You two times Meles won the race. Dont complain about vote rigging anymore. We saw it with our eyes what kind of voting would you guys might have. If you guys are the election board...

i vote for meles

Meles! Meles! Meles! It is impossible to compare Meles with any individual in Ethiopia currently, he is by far the top person in the Country, he should be person of all time. I am saying this from purely independent and long time observation of his work. He lead the country to where we are now from the dark time we were during 90's. So, he should be person of the year.

Thanks

meles got vote.

Here again, how on earth can this fanatic kinijit stand next to our man meles. Meles makes all political jiants dwarf. he is the heavy weight of ethiopian politics, our country hasnt seen a prime minister of his caliber since its inception. What has birtukan midekssa done, she has difficulty leading her own organisation, she played a bigger part in destroying the CUD, the organisation she leads is as divided as it was, and now it has been balkanised into different tiny groups. A person of her type cant lead a family let alone a country. She couldnt unite and lead her organisation how can she hope to lead this great nation. Ethiopia being one of the greatest nations in Africa it needs a great leader like Meles Zenawi. meles should be very proud of his silent supporters, meles's supporters are down to eart and principled. I havent seen EPRDF supporters acting in un irresponsible manner,I havnt seen them acting foolishly by burning buses and civillian houses. This is what I call a great leader, a great leader sets standards to its people especially the young. On the other hand if we see CUD supporters they behave wildely, they are known for foul mouth, and burning and destroying peoples property, they tend to be a bit violent and don know where that action takes them. Hope they have learnt a lesson from the past mistake. Meles Zenawi has taken ethiopian politics to a higher level, VIVA Meles, we will vote for you, we take our hat off for you and the organisation u are chairing. there will come a time Meles will be remembered as on of the wisest leader in Ethiopia. Meles's leadership in times of peace and war was excellent. he is a cool guy, i have never seen him bragging about things he has achieved. Meles is double brain politician. he has spare brain and he can let the CUD use it.

birtukan

PM. Meles Zenawi stay with us forever!!!! he is the beast one when we Compare from all the world!!! I LOVE U MELE!!! Mele is my Hero

why you compare birtukan with nothing?
meles is just pice of shi......

i vote for birtukan mediksa

please kill meles

Where is Anna Gomez now, am sure the loosers kinijit will continue to cry again, they will say Meles has cheated as usuall. Meles is a popular guy, there is no question, he is loved by the people and hated by chauvinists.

BIRTUKAN MIDEKSA

Meles,

He is the man.
I vote for him, since he is a remarkable man.

Birtukan Mekdisa ofcourse. who in the right mind votes for a bucher? Birtukan is the true ethiopian

His Excellency Ato Meles Zenawi deserves to be the Person of the Century not only year.

Asmerom
I am so sorry u r a looser Mele always a wines!!!how u compare Bertukan with intelligent MELES it’s a shame for u and Ur party. I know u r one of the disturbing people Please just shut Ur mouth. Nazret please how money time meles win please we know our greatest man win.
just say it. It’s not fir should be only one time but he win
2wis so please finish it.

Meles!!

nazret given your history ,you bare mad as a hell because the pm won fairly and squarely.your very partisian nature doesnt allow you to be fair and ethical.for you guys to bow for diaspora poitcs is priamary and eyhics is secondary'buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut i cant deny you have come a long way.i surely commend you for that.thanks you are getting there.you see there are more reasonable people who visit your site than haters bigots and unbalanced people.thats why the pm is leading again and again.pm meles .

all roads go to birtukan mekedisa i choose only her




abbebe

Nazret.com, Keep the order right! The LEADER on the vote should have his/her photo on top. May be you are trying to express your wishes but that is not appropriate here since it is a VOTE. So who ever is leading the vote should come first!! Ye Meriwn foto kelay bitaregu yishalal!! What a shame!

who says the devil melese zenawi shame on you
the great warior is birtukan mekidsa

abebe

In the first place the category must be identified ,In whatcategory? We see pliticians ,business men,acadmicians ,athlets and so on.It is not a well defined poll.
The second one is how come Meles Zenawi be Person of the year,if it is by killing innocent citizens of his own ,Yes he could be person of the year, He is against democracy,he is not willing to leave powerpeacefully,He is ruling the country as a dictator,as Stalin,he has no espect for the public,He lives for the few,He messed up situations in the country,He orders the invasion of Somalia puting our soldiers ito fire and humiliaton ,their bodies being dragged drugged on the streets,He made most of our people destitute,and very few multi millioners and what not .So has he to be blessed. It is rediculous to see his name besides the name of those fighting for democracy such as Al mariam and Birtukan. You can compare Meles with Esaias,Musebeni,Mubarek,Musharef,Hugo Shavez ,Mohammer Gadafi,Al Beshir and a lot others ,You can Arrange Person of the year among these power mongerers and enemies of democracy

please the sake of God,look at only the truth one and judge the real one .she is the only birtukan mekdisa

PM. Meles Zenawi best leader of Africa

Prime Minister Meles Zenawi

i am not here to complain,because meles has won,but for the fact that you cannot add more people into a poll that's already started.when you do a second poll,you start all over again,you don't just compile the numbers you got in the first poll into the second one!!it's common sense.It should be so obvious those people in the first round already got a head start!!i would like to believe it's a error,but it's a major error that reflects on nazret.com ....I think it's imperative that the moderater address this finding!!

Definitely Mr.Zenawi

I am more familiar with several years of the good, the bad and the ugly of one of the finalists as challenged, tested, admired, hated and denounced as well. He had been there, and is currently at the seat of leadership of 80 million people. I am not sure what CUD VP would do given his position. So far the best test and observation of "power" had been CUD VP vs. CUD President. I wish former Judge VP Birtukan well, and she will hopefully have several oportunities to prove her self. The choice between the two finalists can be a provoking alternative to assess PM Meles Zenawi in a new light. He might have two more years before he leaves office. There are some things that could not be reconciled at all in his leadership (some big minuses) and some others (good and acceptable).

The vote is for 2007 as such, and if the regime shows some wisdom through its judiciary to reconsider the case of Netsante Demissie, Daniel Bekele and many other political prisoners before Christmas and release them, appreciate their courageous stand (however secretly) evaluate consequences of their prolonged imprisonment, in consideration of the responsiblity PM Meles carries as one of the most difficult countries to govern, let me be forgiving and be optimist and see the good he has done in this holiday season. and vote for Meles. I am sorry folks. Blame it on Nazret.com It is only a vote, and it does not kill. Still consider my self opposition

Like Obang Metho put it in his long opinion titled, "What is wrong with Ethiopia"./ Dec. 2007

"Only if we become united, strong and principled, will we be able to offer something better than what we have with Meles. Please remember, the problem is not only with him, but also with us. Meles is half of the problem, the other half is us"

Happy Holidays to all and every one.

his comment from TS deserves to be quoted " If Kinijit was a corporation and Birtukan and all the other cud leaders were leaders of this corporation, would you give bonuses and stock options to them at the end of the fiscal year and you see the financial results. If I were a shareholder, I would fire her and hire Meles to lead the organization." I agree with you brother/Sister, I completely agree with you, we need to join hands from north-south-east-and west. We will rise above the sky, Ethiopia will take care of her children winners or loosers alike. We are all ethiopians and we need to worktpgether, I am glad people understand Meles and are backing him. WE love our leader Meles-Zenawi.

Of course it is Meles. How in the hell in the world you compare a man who fought the devil derg for 18 years do or die and brought a fresh hope for this country with the woman no body even knows her until recently. Come on people this is no brainer.

FREE

Are you still in here wondering what to do or you forgot your medication? Hater like you never do good to the poor Ethiopian but destroy them. Get life!

Melese had the gut to fight Shabea, UIC, CUD, American abistainers, ONLF, OLF, POVERTY, to fight nations and nationalities right, to fight for all ethiopians right, to fight colonial uropeans, to fight UN'S member countries who think the whole africa as forgoten country, also he got the gut to fight peace for Somalia and the horn of Africa.
Meles has the gut to restore our international boundary. Viva meles.

Birtukan Mideksa! NO to melse the killer. We will not forget the various killings and ethnic conflics he started. NO 2 melse.

Birtukan Mideksa! NO to melse the killer. We will not forget the various killings and ethnic conflics he started. NO 2 melse.

Of Course . YETEKEBERU PRIME MINISTER ATO. MELES ZENAWI. VOTE IS 101% WITH MELES.

WE WANT HIM TO KEEP CONTINUING TO LEAD ETHIOPIA FOR THE NEXT 3 TO 4 TERMS. THATS WHEN ETHIOPIA WILL BE OUT OF POVERTY. THE ONLY MAN WHO CAN DO THIS IS MELES . BURTUKAN MIDEKSA IS ILLITERATE AND DONT EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT POLITICS.

i beleive Meless Zenawi is the best who can can lead Ethiopia for 15 years more . supprt him . my vote for him

I Vote for Birtukan

Birtukan is the best for this year.

You guys don't have common sense. How can a girl who did nothing to the country be compared to the Prime Minister who dedeicated his life to the progress in Ethiopia? It is an insult to our souls!

Folks lets vote for Meles, wish he can run for office for the next term. We need him, lets use this bright and intelligent man. We desperately need him, hope he will help us train good politicians who can take over him.

Infact PM Meles Zenawi is person of the centurey for Africa. He is the only person who brought reinasance for the beloved nation which is Ethiopia and for the whole continent Africa. If you watch him when he spoke at the Clinton Global Emitoion program in NewYork he was the only African leader who stands for Africa with a qualified speechs. Thanks for nazret blog who share good and bad news about the great nation Ethiopia. God is with the people of Ethiopia and with the great leader meles.

i choosed for MELES is hero. to be honest i like Birtukan Mideksa too, but she cant be meles even after 40 years.

MELES...MELES...MELES- HE IS A GREAT GUY WITH GREAT PERSONALITY. I AM SO WORRIED ABOUT ETHIOPIAN FUTURE WITH OUT MELES. MELES IS MELES BUT NO BODY CAN BE MELES. IS THERE ANY BODY WHO WATCH HOUSE MD THE FOX TV SERIES. DR HOUSE IS REALLY GREAT DOCTOR, BUT THAT IS JUST A TV SHOW. MELES PLAYS SAME ROLL IN HIS PLACE, BUT BETTER THAN DOCTOR HOUSE IN REAL LIFE.

long live birtukan death to zenawi

Dr. Berhanu Nega

long live birtukan death to zenawi

wat ever u guys sayin'
ma poll deserves 2 "kibur"
prime Minster Meles Zenawi

Meles gets t vote over and over and over again...and to all t haters this is a message from t pm "GO AHEAD AND ENVY ME BECAUSE I AINT GOING NO WHERE UNTILL YOU GET TO KNOW ME"

Ow here we are, ethiopians please let's not loose this poll, here again, the CUD is trying to show its presence by nominating Birtukan fight neck to neck with Our beloved hero Melese Zenawi. To fight neck to neck u need to have a neck, Birtukan is the soft touch of CUD, She has no neck to support her brain. Sorry to say it, but she doesnt have a brain, she is minless politician who led the CUD's distruction. There is no way she can stand against the political heavy weight of Ethiopia, his excellency PM Meles Zenawi. Meles is a man of principle, non in the opposition can stand next to Meles Zenawi, we Ethiopians love him so much. He is not just a leader of Ethiopia , he is a man who can lead Africa to a new era. His contribution in the Blairs African commission and Afri-china cooperation deserves mention. he is a man who opened ethiopia's politics for the masses. He has been in politics for the last 34 years and has been a winner in every type of struggle. So here we are, can we vote for meles the winner or Birtukan the looser. The race is clear, black and white, we need to show our feelings to the kinijit who made ethiopians feel low. The kinijit headed by Birtukan Medikssa is working hard with the enemies of Ethiopia, it joined the likes of OLF,ONLF, and shaebiya in its attempt to oust Meles Zenawi. Meles despite all the odds is rising above anyone, he is just the greates, no question about it. I salute EPRDF supporters for the discipline and dedication you showed since the aftermath of the 2005 election.Supporters of the EPRDF must continue to respect all ethnic and religious groups in the country. The country belongs to all of us, and we must respect and tolerate each other. The EPRDF will continue to build a strong and voluntarily united Ethiopia. Thanks to all who supported Meles. Meles has won in both rounds, and the gap between meles and Birtukan was wide, now all the people who voted for other individuals are casting their protest votes. Thats why they are casting for Birtukan, still she cant win, anyways wether she won or not, Meles will continue to rise ans shine. I hope he will reconsider his decission and compete in the coming parliamentary election. Mr Zenawi has given life to ethiopian politics. Ethiopian Politics with out meles is tantamount to eating injera with out wet.

VIVA MELSE ZENAWI


VIVA GREAT LEADR MELSE ZENAWI

Meles Zenawi
Deserves 100%

Meles Zenawi


He is the greatest leader that we ethiopians have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!

keep up the good work!

I just wanted to comment once more to mention that this is a great exercise in democracy.

Also, I love Birtukan Mideksa and I hope she becomes Prime Minister in the next election when Meles retires.

She is just a great figure for women to get involved in politics which is what I believe ethiopia needs to finally get out of poverty.

For now though I will vote for Meles because he has proven himself as a capable leader.

I cast my vote to meles/EPRDF. True leader of an Ethiopian party, a leader of a great nation, his skill in politics, his knowledge, intelligence, charisma what else...he is just the best, will for for meliyeeeee 1000%. Meles deserves respect, he is a man who dedicated all his life for the people of Ethiopia. He has fought against chauvinists and has managed to crash their backbones, he fought against islamo fascists and did the same, he protected Ethiopia from Shaebiya's invasion, and he crashed the backbone of Shaebiya. Now we need to continue to fight against poverty and break its backbone. We have began to see light at the end of the tunnel..we need to respect eachother and work hard to develop our country ETHIOPIA. VIVA Meles.

The man is Meles of course he is the best !

If and only if for butcher of people meles is, other wise meles can't be a mana of good example. It is obvious that only woyanewoch voting repeatdly

1/Bulcha Damaksa,
2/Birtukan Midaksa are people for the freedom of the people.

My vote is for Ato Meles Zenaw and Ato Al Mariam

If Meles wins, that tells me your web-
site is frequently visited by Wayane's
not Ethiopians. Why Meles is in the
poll in the first place? This is the
second clue that your web-site is Wayane's.
I have reservation on your web-site,
because you were posted Wayane's article
many times before. Urael Be careful body.

1/ Bulcha Damaksa
2/ Birtukan Midaksa,
But, meles must not nominated to this polling. His place is in front of the international court.

I vote for Meles

Definitely, Birtukan Midaksa is the one.

BIRTUKAN MIDEKSA

BIRTUKAN MIDEKSA

WHOEVER COMAPRES A KILLER WITH A REAL
HUMANITARIAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF
THEMSELVES. OFCOURSE BIRTUKAN IS MY
CHOICE. THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD
CANDIDATES LEFT OUT.
PEACE OUT

BIRTUKAN MIDEKSA

One question?

Can we both vote for them? Can't both of them rule us? To start with, what about Birtu be our president assisted by her En. Gz., Dr. Hl, Eyoel wezete and lead us? And Meles becomes her PM. They rationally split the power sticks among them. It is just for a few years till Eth. gets stabilized and CDU be tested well and hard. We know Meles what has he done, his fault lines challenged, he is an experienced politician, but what will become of Birtu is something i don't know. But on top of my head, is an inner - sensical - pressure: asking me this time "a Woman". Blind Trust. I have told you am not a politician. It doesn't matter she is not an MA, a phd holder wezete. She will learn from experience and from the technocrats who are her great assets or entourages by now, i hope our PM will be generous on her and she as always be understanding to him and will consult from him, from his famous global and local political skills, outlooks, and his spicy strong rhetoric.

If we don't work together we are just useless craps.

Selam, for this round i voted the woman in Birtukan, although i love my PM and will expect of him as Putin to stand around and watch the orange goes ripe - and smell perfume like our sweet fruit Tiringo!

dereba : derebraba : : mt : mt

Habesh you are not the real habesh ,you dont write like him or reason like him. you are just pretending to be habesh. taking some ones pen name does not make you an intellectual or popular. it is the idea that you bring , the way you reason that makes you acceptable.If you have a new idea let's see you writing. About CROWNING your Birtukan forget it. you are acting like sleeping beauty, have you forgotten feudalism is long gone? what you have written at the begining of your comment makes your vote doubtful, you are one of those confused people.This time around we will be on the same side. I will be voting for meles,for the unprecedented quality of leadership he showed.

sham on you ppl who voted for Meles.

he got bleed on his hand, how do you vote for some one how kill kids man, how do you ppl think? he killed people come on not b/c he this or that, where is the respect of all those how lost there life of nothing, just b/c it is not your family or not from your F%$&^# wereda.

Hellooooo
This two people cannot be compared at all. Look at the experience of the two in the past 30+years and achievments...

Guys,

How can you name a killer as person of the
year?

meles

meles

great appericiation to midakesa but meles of is man of the year and the future of course.

1oo%His excellency PM Meles Zenawi is person of the year. Attention nazret he is already being person of the year two times before I share my comment. Be honest nazret and my last comment is Meles is person of the year and Nazret is blog of the year.

how you guys compare meles with girl who did anything?.

That is right for by far and the only cruelest person of the year.

I will vote for him.

Any one that votes a child killer
as a person of the year must be the
"enemy" of Ethiopian people to say
the least!!!

ewket tmhrt bet bcha aygegnm betegbar sidegef bcha tru wutet yametal slezih brtukan mideksa gena yalbeselech wotat nat keso yilk meles zenawi betegbar yetafetene slehone mawodaderum asfelagi aymeslegnm meles is awiner thanks

Meles Zenawi-Happy Newyear. Let us show our support to Meles and join the fight aganst poverty and backwardness. Let us vot for the man with a vision and right strategy. Birtukan represents darkness and immaturity, We have seen the disaster she brought to the CUD/kinijit/and post election situation. Let us not embolden her by nominating her to stand next to ethiopia's greatest leader of all time.

Tell me one thing that Birtukan does for this country. She was in prison like any body else. Right after that she came to the US and spen couple of months in fancy hotels again like her friends. Tell me one thing this country gain from this women other than she and her friends have been building "YEMBUAY CAB" and now every thing is gone.She and her friends make millions of Ethiopians hopeless.She is not even close.

Go Meles.

There is no way on earth Meles can have more vote than Bertukan unless nazret.com, or aiga furum's owner Zeru Hagos manuplated the system since he work for sysco computer. It's not practical TPLF lovers, even the entire Tigryans in the diaspora voted for Meles they can not possibly have the majority vote as "person of the year". It's rigged with either the net server manuplation or withe computer wizereds the Aiga Forum TPLF cheaters. One thing is clear though Ethiopians will vote an Ethiopian not for half Ethiopian unless they are banda.

Meles Zenawi

Meles worked his butt off for many many years and donot you ever give his hard work to someone who doesnot stand for what she believes. You can check what she signed in Jail. I might consider to vote for her, if she was still in jail. APARENTLY NOT. SHE CHANGED HER MIND WHEN THE GOING GET TOUGHER.

how come this "barinet or netsanet" type system still exist after 17 years? ethiopia doesn't have any person to chose besides birtukan and meles? anyway my answer for you gus would be "kezinjero konjo min yimeraritu"

I cast my vote to meles/EPRDF. True leader of an Ethiopian
Long live Mr. Prime Minster Ethiopia loves you. God bless you and the great country of ours cuEthiopia

I vote for Meles Zenawi

meles is the best.

I don't know how you vote, but if it's done here in the open I want to cast my vote for the man, definately MELES. May God protect him, give him the wisdom to lead our country and our people into prosperity. May God also grant him the strength and patience to stand in the face of so much hate and destructive criticism from the ignorants.

Get over it. Stop blaming Nazret.com
I think this time Meles won in landslide. If you want to see meles lose ,bring someone with a true vision for Ethiopia. For 2007 the ballot is closed. See you in 2008 vote.

Reminder to Nazret,

Dont fool the people.In ethiopia were internet is blocked how on earth a poll is made.

Internet Access even for this web site is there only for woyane cadres who chose their paymaster.Ethiopians at home is the one who can chose in this case they cannt.

To it is not faire to put apple and granade for choice. How killer is put for choice.

meles 1000%

Meles Zenawi Why would we pick Birtukan her party manager fire her. She is a

Please NAZRET.COM already MELES won the poll for the 2nd time I vote MELES again.Please everybody is tired we don't need poll for the 4th time....

BY THE WAYS PM MELES WON TWICE AND IF NAZRET .COM WANT MELES TO LOOS THE VOTE, THEY HAVE TO ASK THE SAME QUEASTION 1000000000000 TIMES.

MELES THE BEST FOR ETHIOPIA.
BRTUCAN STAY IN USA ONE DAY WE WILL FIND YOU AJOB @ parking lot.

I will vote for Bertukan Mideksa, my Hero.....

pm meles we need you for 12 year more.
brtucan ethiopia is not for sale . we dont need you.

ethiopia tikdem.

If is funny some of us know how to insult but don’t know a damn thing on how to vote!!

Wait a few days, the same folks will complain about the vote being rigged just the person they wanted did not win!!!

Shall we invite Jimmy Carter and Ana Gomez to this one too??

Birtukan who??????

Basically I am a kinijit fan.but I can't help admiring MELES. He is just one hell of evil genius. So I say uhhh MELES. Sorry guys , he is the first of the kind to lead the poor nation in a different way.

My family will kill me if they see this. I hope they don't .

Go Meles , open your ears to the people. We like u on the chair.

U are having a laugh! what a joke! with great respect, she is hard working, intelligent, worked as a judge, good looking woman, went to jail unfortunately,,,, is it beauty contest or sympathy vote? maybe personality vote? give me a break! if i have to vote for one of the two, my vote goes for MP Meles.

How could Melese Zenawi became a candidate even? Those woyannes have been rigged the poll as usual. Unless and otherwise how could it be as such?

Birtukan

Meles Meles Meles. million times. Meles is not only persone of the year. He is the best person in the history of Ethiopia. He made unparalleled history in the economic, polletical, social live of Ethiopia. He pulled our country out of dark era into the light. He made such a big leap of our country in the middest of extrem pressure from all sides. I am sure history will never forget this great man that Ethiopia ever had. My unparalled vote is for Meles

Birtukan Mideksa deserves a lot better
than bieng called just person of the year
cos she a young educated person who can
make a differnce in our political system
in the future.

Fellow Friends,

I found this a practical joke. How in the name of God and Mohammed some one calls this beast, the butcher of Addis abeba, could be called as a man of the year.

Adolf Hitler and Mossolini could enjoy the same joke. zenawi is the blood thirsty beast not human being.

Thank you AG

I vote Pm Meles

No question Melese

My vote goes to meles for the third time! Birtukan let me down once the CUD cracked. I can't see any stabilty with Ethiopia if these people come to power. Birtukan thank you for killing our hope and meles keep the economy moving and do sya good bye from politics. Your era should end while you are alive.
Tazabe

Meles is the man of the year. Go and look what is being done on the electric power generation and irrigation schemes under his leadership. The road, horticulture, property rights of coffee are among the prominent achievements;
be well

ahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa,ONLF is above Hailu Shawel. ahahahaha again that is the real african Mentality. In our country(Ethiopia) you become well-known by the number of people you kill,probably that is why MElEZ is getting most votes.and BIRKUTAN is getting votes by how many times she uses the "WOYANEE" phrase.Iam thinking about HSHLF( Hailu Shawel liberation front} in SHAEBIA,that is how get off the MESS

PM. Meles Zenawi. Great leader....!

HOOOOLLLLLAAAALLLLLAAAA

I don't think a human with eyes, ears and a head will put Birtukan and Meles in one row.

Meles

By the way WHAT DID BIRTUKAN DO TO THE ETHIOPIAN PEOPLE?

AREN'T YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?

FOR ME EVEN I DON'T CALL HER NAME IN FRONT OF HIM!!!!!!

If this the case, abebe, geremew, mohammed, debela, etc... can compete for this reward!!!

Meles is an extraordinarily talented leader this country has ever seen!!!!

Death to zenaw
Long leve birtukan.

I vote for dear Birtukan!!!
GOD Bless Ethiopia

For me it would have to be Birtukan Mideksa, I would even vote her for the person of the decade or millennium for the dignity and strength she showed during her struggle for our freedom.

On the other hand Meles has also done a lot of good deeds for Ethiopia over the past years in terms of the Economy, fighting of Starbucks and so forth.
But can I ask what brought this poll is it to do with Time magazine person of the year President Putin being chosen?
emekonnen.blogspot.com

nazret, did u guys got some money from meles, how come u put killers name with those inocent people who fought for true democracy !! i would rather kill meles!!

I vote for Pm Meles...

If we can kept away form emotion and obessation to look things on the ground with the social ane economical diversifed nation the stuff done by the PM Meles is high calibera regardless the obstacles faced right from aggressation to internal spilt. Hence I do clamp and do hope for Pm and his vision.
Thanks anyway Nazert.com.

It's unheard of people voting for someone who terrorize them unless only TPLF cadres are in action in this voting.Nazereth if I were you,I would have dropped this poll for the sake of reliability.

oh..my God....how dare you put together meles with Birtkuan. she did nothing at all!...please be logical whoever you are, which political party you support, where you are....no one knows in the world what birtkuan mideksa did to her country,she might be for the future.Frankly, with all his failures,Meles is trying hard to change the face of Ethiopia.
i vote for HIM,though i am not his supporter....guys let's stop hate and try to be logical......viva mele!!.....

I give my vote to Meles.
I don't know Birtukan

There is no question Melse is the one.Yeha

Those people who gave their votes to
the following people in the previous
poll are playing the final game b/n PM Mel es and W/t Birtukan

Mohamed Al-Amoudi: 9% (100)
* Haile Gebreselassie: 4% (41)
* Bulcha Demeksa: 3% (37)
* Abebech Gobena: 3% (36)
* Ethio Coffee Farmers: 3% (31)
* Meseret Defar: 3% (28)

none of them?

No to Birtukan Midekssa, she is a lost lady in the crossroads, what has she done to ethiopian politics. despite the support from certain fanatics, our hero Meles zenawi is time and again proving his leadership and political skill. he has out smarted all the so called fanatic kinijit leaders. No one can say the poll was rigged this time. Nazret.com, thanks for the poll, now ethiopians in the diaspora will find out the truth about our prime minister, meles is by far th best son of Ethiopia, Here we are childrens of Ethiopia extending our support to him. As far as Birtukan is concerned i advice her to start learning the abcd of politics. She lacks the skill and talent to lead a strong opposition that can stand next to EPRDF. Let her firt finish cleaning her house before embarking on the complicated task of leading Ethiopia's 80 million people. Birtukan need to take make up classes,(on politics, history, sociology, and current affairs), I wonder how a lady of her competence was working as a judge in Ethiopia, no wonder why people are complaining about the judiciary. If that branch of the government is filled by people of Birtukans type, the government need to sort it, fanatics and extremist groups shouldnt be appointed as judges. Judge need to be independent, she is not she is biased, her organisation has tried to divide we ethiopians along ethnic lines. They wanted to use our ethnic differences as a weapon to grab power. But Ethiopians didnt accept the devilish stand of CUD and its supporters on certain ethnic groups in the country. WE, ethiopians should unite irrespective of our ethnicity and religious grounds, we are brothers and sisters and will continue to live in unity and understanding. WE should denounce all fanatic and biased individuals like Birtukan Mideksa-the double faced habesha.

please i want to ask the admin to put only mellese and birtukan let see who is gonna win if you real you guys are ethiopian let seeeeee

How could you compare Birtukan with Meles? The man has done a whole lot postive or vegative for Ethiopia, where as Birtukan was just an ordinary citizine untile two weeks before she become a VP of CUD, and then she landed in jail.......to me it should have been between Meles, Al Moudi, and Prof. Epherm Issac

P.M Meles Zenawi

nazret.com want brtucan to win.bou ethiopian vote for pm meles .
not once twice 100000000000000.time.

When ever you logon to your computer, you can vote again & again. This is not an accurate poll. Why not Nazret.Com hire a polling firm to conduct the poll. It will be an accurate poll & it is a good public service. Thank you Nazret.Com for letting us excercise this polling.

Meles Zenawi

First remove the hate hijab that covered your mind.You will come to realize that Meles Zenawi is the man who inaugurated the idea of pardon and released Bertikuan from jail. It is also wise to ask that what has she done to Ethiopia, to the struggle for freedom and democracy? She is a late comer and her influence is yet to be felt. She joined kinjt two weeks before she became Vice President and twom months before she was arrested. This is really the problem of Ethiopian politics. You are trying to lift her up out of thrash. Afterall she was n ordinary judge, who was looking for the short cut to power. On the otherhand, Meles has proved himself a charismatic leader and skilled stteman for the last 16 years. Imagine how difficult it is to lead a very poor and divided country.

Felicitatin, Meles!

why the killer melese? i chose only the real democrat birtukan

i myself is tigrian. i know what melese is doing he is the most evil i ever saw. even the we tigrians hate him.i prefer birtukan

the future real Ethiopian is only birtukan

p.m. meles zenawi, he faced alot of difficlties but he did it. i think there were were mistakes but is there any one in the world can tell me on perfect leader. may be you say bertukan but belive me to led one county in africa needs more than theory, theory is absolutly different from practice. however to tell perfect thory is easy as much as piling a banana. e.g cud so i vote for p.m. meles.

Comparing PM Meles with bertukan is tantamount to comparing a lion with a cat!!!

Desta, don play ethnic card here, meles is not just a Tigrean hero he is ethiopian hero aswell, we don care if people like you hate him. he is a man of principle doing his job fantastically, i have never seen a politician like him, he is just the greatest, that doesnt mean you have to like him, As a politician he is exposed to face criticisim. Meles is doing such a complicated job, and could be criticised by certain groups. We supporters of Meles arent saying he is an angel, but if we have to choose a person to lead us, we would still prefer mele. He is just the greatest, and the polls are showing that. Where are all these foul mouthed Kinijits to acuse meles of stealing Nazret.com's poll. They will always cry and shout, they tend to burn cars and destroy public property whenever we choose meles and his party. The supporters of kinijit need to behave in a civilised manner like EPRDF supporters. I have never seen supporters of meles behaving wildely now and in the past. EPRDF is an organisation characterised by descipline, patience and tolerance. The EPRDF under meles's leadership will contine strengthening good relation between us the people, and take the country out of the deep poverty Ethiopia was subjected by succesive kinijitawian. Kinijit is another dergue working hard to take us into the dark ages. We say no to Kinijit and say no to the lost child Birtukan. Ethiopians will never accept Birtukan medikssa as their leader. Let her deal with the problems her party is engulfed. She thinks ethiopia's legal system can be influenced by US congress men. Birtukan, if that is the case go to US and establish a government in exile led by Almariam,ki ki ki ki...Ethiopia is in an irreversible position,it cant be reversed by loosers like you.

Hi Guys i was told by veteran CUD that
CUDians browse internet on weekends so this
poll sould extend until monday

I vote for meles.... sorry who is Birtukan why not Aster or some others.. what did she do ?

viva Pm Meles, I vote for you...Ok

Only 1000 votes in a week?
This only shows how much Ethiopians lost the interest in any of these people.

These are a bunch of idiots. We need some new faces. Can you imagine what would have happened if CUD took power and they fought for powerand fractured like this.

God is watchig Ethiopia

If it was a beauty contest I would go for Birtukan since she is a lady. But if you are talking about achievement, oh God! it must be the one and only Meles melataw. I must admit he is the most sophisticated and articulate leader of my generation. The problem with Meles is that he is 20 years head of most of us; hence he is very much misunderstood.
I thank God for Meles. He has come into Ethiopian politics at the right season. I hope he is the first of Great African leaders for long waited renaissance of Africa.

JOE

Haile Gebresilassie

If Meles is a divider, that had been known, documented, resisted, argued and in some circles, yes "appreciated" (unfortunately). He also has had some accomplishments from past through the present.

VP Birtukan mentioned in her first letter, January 2006 ( "CUD is an under ground movement"). The problem is, out side of Kality, the public was not aware of "the exclusive movement" that emerged officialy after their freedom, except in forms of KILs controversy and the diaspora's split. It was very obvious that her position was well used symoultenouly as VP of CUD, "a member of collective leadership"/leader of the delegation tour, an apologist on behalf of the party, a representative of the party and Ethiopian people whose count on politiacl prioners was misleading in testimony before congress ( the correction gave her away even worse), a total disregard to other Ethiopian CUD supporters even with invitation and the list goes on and on. This is round one. Round two will be how she over comes.

This is the same person who was quoted in 2005saying, "WouKelegnAchin Ke'Ethiopia HiZeb gar niw"./ Our contract and representation is for Ethiopian people. Some how, that did not look to be the case as the interest of "the leaders" was divided. Her priority showed committement to "her faction", orgnizers and specially loyality to Birhanu Nega who brought her to the party. She is trusted to a key position, although her faction affiliation is a political calculation, it also compromised her unique position as the VP.

Fulfilling political ambition can take different risks, but for all the representation Wt. Birtukan tries to come through for Ethiopian people, she had also remained a divider so far. In a smaller scale and with in a frame of time of her Vice Presidenacy, some of her actions are in question. If right, to divide properly with out hypocracy, confusion, lack of diplomacy, propaganda, degrading actions of others could have been done properly, but that was not the case. Some of this may not have been her direct action, but the very faction and some of its supporters.

CUD might have some high ideal and principle, but translated into the actions of the "leaders", at this time, atleast there is some disappointment. As a result, the very person who is a FINALIST WITH MELES has also become accessory to his ways, and there by make an uncalled and unexpected SUPPORT (from % of Ethiopians) TO THE PM who other wise would not have.

This is 2007 and who knows 2008 might see her as the person of the year, if she "sees" the light of truth and examine the very reasons she is in politics. If she finds more of the answers, reform and transform, have a genuine conviction for country and people, God willing, she can make it. It is not too late. "Suspended" does not mean a permenant departure.. How she views it, reverse it, acknowledge some of the errors and be a unifier could pave the road for her. Then again, there could be a trap that might be too late to escape from. She is at a turning point to make it or break it in some ways, and I believe she should grab the opportunity to be exemplery in over coming a crisis and attempt to heal and save what she can, while possible.

Good luck and Chairman Hailu Shawel can not be underestimated, but it does not mean that he did not indirectly contribute to this end. I think he was very trusting and did not have as much exposure to the diaspora audience during his imprisonment through effective media as the VP's group had. People were very trusting of pro democracy web sites who are now official advocates of VP and co.

It is aching to see CUD come down this way, but its rise will show in how it will resolve the crisis

Meles is greater leader of Ethiopia.
Birtukan is the best friend of Dr .Jibu Nega "be America".

Nazret what happen to the poll. Is it done?

Good idea ,even terrific choosing W/t Birtukan Mekdessa as the person of the year .But what a joke ,tyrant Zenawi as the person of the year ;it's simply insulting the memory of the innocent victims of June and November 2005 and all the martyrs killed and wounded by such evil regime .Nathret.com be careful of TPLF thugs jamming the website these guys will never stop from cheating by voting multiple of times for the crime minister . VOTE BIRTUKAN MEKDESSA !!!!

Birtukan!!!

Bertukan ofcourse.

Nazreth.com.whre is poll?

hi nazret.com where is the poll?
what is going on?or I can suggest that the poll was hid becouse Melese was leading.
If this is neutral poll let others choose their choice.

it is understandabe that most of u are votin for meles.u r just takin ot from tribal point of view, therby concealing the true tigrai Ethiopians. meles will not rule ethiopia 4ever and there will not always be a priminster from tigrai. but ethiopia will always be one. our tigrai brothers and sisters will never afford to 4get the love and unity they have with rest no mattter what. so for those of you who are pretending to represent the people of tigrai...u have no idea how the tigres want to live a familial and peaceful life with rest of the country.may be bertukan has not done much..but she should be put in competetion with such a killer..he is a good political leader? yes he knows how to systematically lie ans escape challenges againist him..but what does that mean to the poor..who are strugglin to feed themselves..think abt those poor ppl aswell..they dont always eat burger and all that junk food of urs
i say bertukan desreves this ttile

To choose Either Meles or Bitukan It is like like to look for beauty between monkies.
Both are damaging the hope of Ethiopian
People.
