Here is democracy in action. Balezizewoche enekuwane des yalachehu, beterefe lenanetem yefered kene endale endateresu. Biyanes biyanse be mayekerewu ye layegnawu bete fered ayezenegam ena.

I couldn't believe they found them gulity. I am not suprised either. It's Weyane justice. I hope one day Meles will be in jail. He is the criminal who murder thousands of our brothers and sisters.

no one should left over behind in jail.
if the super troubles get's pardon then
those two should be free.

Justice has served!!!!

RESPECT to low and order PPL

You have to teach to those don't respect the Ethiopian constitution!!!

Why is it that, judges presiding over high profiled, cases are always "sick." It shameful and embarrassing that the cases of Kinijit leaders, Tamara, Eseye and brothers, Daneil and Nestanet have been postponed Fifty Nine times all together.

The real justice will be on Zenawi and his henchmen who are creating havoc in the whole Horn of Africa. Zenawi and Co. will face justice for massacring innocent civilians in Gambella, Awassa, Addis Ababa, Ogaden, Mogadishu etc etc. The crime dossier of Zenawi and CO. is becoming big and fat. Human right agencies throughout the world are documenting genocide, rape, village burning, hanging etc etc all over the regions.

Who ever violating the rule of law of the country, the result will be severe. Indeed Justice has served on this matter. Yeha

Brother Amsterdamer are you ready getting close now. Yeha

It's funny they released the leaders and kept behind these lawyers.What happened to the shemagiles that are supposed to getting prisoners of concsience released, i guess first they have to find them guilty of the highst crimes and then they let them go.Justice system the EPRDF style.EPRDF is really confused and don't know what to do and which way to turn.

It is obvious; we cannot expect something different from the kangaroo court. You cannot expect eagle from the snake’s egg, and if there is anybody who expected something different, that must be someone who never new is the true nature of Woyane.

Woyane has proved its outrageous dictatorship time and time again. These two innocent brave men have not violated a single law; rather they were advocating for human rights respect and working hard to help the people of Ethiopia eradicate poverty. Woyane knows this fact more than anyone else. However since by virtue of its nature, anyone who works for the betterment of the lives of people of Ethiopia is a treat for its very existence, Woyane wants to lock them up. Now it is time for us to stand together and work hard to show the real nature of Woyane to the world.

Brother Amsterdamer You arogant sickman. You need help.

Very sad news indeed. Woyanne thugs have not shame. It might be last desperate attempt from this mafia to keep Ethiopia Woyanne boot camp. Justice will prevail.

So What would say now? They are found guilty and serve in jail for the years to come.

No one escapes the law of the LAND.
Period.

Good Job EPRDF
For Cracking down on anti peace elements this terrorisst should be given severe punishement(capital punishment) to deter other wanabee criminals.
New year resolution make Addis Zero tolerant on anti-peace elements

To all woyanes anf followers,
What goes around comes around.Beseferut kuna mesefer ayikerim.It is just a question of time.We will come after each and every woyane for revenge.

No one is above of the law.
I think the time for Pardon already expired.

These two advocates have their own courage and conviction that probably carries them through the days and weeks, and their spirit and concious hopefully is more FREE than their caged existance.

For the concerned public, those who advocated on their behalf, prayed, the international organizations who stood by their side consistently through this ordeal, it is a blow on the face for Christmas eve.

One can probably find comfort in remembering, Prof. Alemayehu Gebremariam's tribute to "the prisoners of conscience" the day they were sentenced to life. In his words,"Thank you great patriots". Some times it is not the details of the case, but it is expectation and and how human beings stand against adverse and may be unjust results.

The bigger charges are dropped and it means seven more years in Kality. The case will be prolonged as hopefully they will APPEAL it.
Please DON'T GIVE UP and there is a feeling that you know exactly what you are doing. This may look like DEFEAT, but may be it realy is NOT.

May both of you, your families and yours find comfort in the meaning of THE BIRTH OF HOPE, Christmas. It is a state of mind. Make the day yours and of many others, and lighten up.

Merry Christmas and happy new year to all.

I really worried about the future of ethiopia. gulity of what?

If you read what the witnesses said in the court, they did what they are convicted about. Because they are high profile people who have support of high level people doesn't make them free. If they want to be pardon it is up to them to request, however they should be found guilty. ( I am not supporter EPDRF in anyway)

I think they will be released one way or the other. they themselves know what to do, they hear about kinijit, maybe it's not the right time to come out, kinijit were popular in kaliti than in state, they keep kinijit spirit alive in kaliti, maybe they are the future.
political celebrity does not come cheap.

respect.

"Despite the lack of evidence proving their involvement in leadership and participation during the unrest, no evidence could be found to refute accusations of incitement" judge Mohammed Aminsani

What the heck is that? Is that justice? I am not sure if I have heard of anything of this sort before. Let me put it this way - we are accusing you of killing somebody. As it turns out, we found no evidence to prove the case. We will, however, convict you and lock you up because there is no evidence to prove you didn't commit the crime. What kind of twisted logic is that? It is laughable.

You know what atheists say to prove their point that God doesn't exist? They say God doesn't exist because there is no way to prove that he does. And theists answer - God exists because there is no way of proving that he doesn't. Pick your battle!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All of You


Peace!

Ogadeni,
What kind of woyane sub human you are to ask for capital punishment.I prey to god to see your closed one is dead in this season.

That is kangaroo Court.

Lawyer,

"If they want to be pardon it is up to them to request, however they should be found guilty. ( I am not supporter EPDRF in anyway)".
---------

I am sorry that the theory of pardon may not be the norm and applicable for all and they should not neccessarily be persuaded in a direction they chose not to take in their very vase.

One of them is a lawyer him self. The punishment was even more severe because "they are supposed to know better". All lawayers are born equal and in similar profession, but each is a unique person in the way he or she understand the universe and its application to humanity.

yezerut yichedu wegenoch gin hule ye hig yebelaynet yisfen

'Assab' anti-Ethiopian

Capital punishment is the best deterent for those that try to incite the 'beggers' of Addis to create disorder and mayheem.
Simply CUD was defeated in the Electins hence they should abide by the law of the land not the Jungle law.

It is shame that this professor is talking about lies. He is the number one clueless and liar on earth which he was misleading his buddies in the US-congress to support the HR2003. I believe this bill is dead as his brain at this time, and if he is a man enough he supposed to apologize to the Ethiopian people for misleading the US-congress to pass the misguided bill against Ethiopia. As far as the judiciary system in Ethiopia, it is working as it should for all Ethiopians. No one is above the law.

Shame, Shame Shame...
That is precisely why the injection of HR2003 NEEDED.

Danziding.. i hear you.

i was confused and ashamed by the the judges' comment. really what kind of justice is it?

you got no proof to convict yet u convict cos you havnt found a proof to say u r not guilty . what the hell is that.

This should be a good lesson to those who may want to mess up with the rule of law in the future. All the roads to political power pass through the ballot boxes and any attempt otherwise should be dealt with decissively. No amount of saboteuge and street violence can change the blossoming democracy in the country.

Amesterdammy shut the hell up and smoke your ganja .we all now that there is no Justice in Ethiopia . and for the reset of woyanes like ogadani and kumisa please use your own name like kiflom and hagos when you vomit in this web . time of justice for all is not that far . viva Ethiopia

Some people say they are crimial because they inciting violence and caused over 100 people death.

My point is this if Ethiopan want freedom then they should be willing to have die for their cause.

Some of you might say if those died are your family you will not say this.

Guess what! I don't care if it was my mother, my father, my sister or my small borther or my wife or my kids I am willing to give all my family life for freedom... freedom is not free.

Based on this those convicted two anti-poverty activists did not inciting violence but they inciting freedom fighting... Yes like anything in life their is a cost to it and life lost...those life are the price we pay to get our freedom.

By they way I ask many of my cud supporter almost 99.9% of say the same thing they are willing to giveup their family life in order to get Ethiopia freedom..

Those 100 people are cost to our
freedom therefor we should not be holding those two freedom fighter for killing because this like asking the Ethiopian army
who fighting in Somilia to account for killing ICU army.

Thank you Woyane for justifying our fight and most importantly for exposing once again your despotic nature to the world. In a sense, yes it is justice served.

WE MUST START REVENGE MOVEMENT.

This is totally unbelievable!!! “"Despite the lack of evidence proving their involvement in leadership and participation during the unrest, no evidence could be found to refute accusations of incitement," Judge Mohammed Aminsani told the court, AFP news agency reports”. It seems the rule of law and the rights of citizens is totally foreign to the TPLF thugs. It surely shows how pathetic, ignorant, and low life are the so called judges and the whole government. Let alone “a trained lawyer” any illiterate thug will not rule a person guilty in the absence of evidence as described by the so called “judge” Mohammed. It is the state’s responsibility to proof that a citizen has committed a crime. A citizen is NOT required to provide proof of his innocence in any county when there is no evidence that he has committed one. The burden of proof is with the state.
This saga one more time shows the fake judges, the low life and utterly unethical and uneducated judges, and a corrupt system rotten to the core. I don’t know how much and how long we Ethiopians can tolerate this. When can we finally say it is enough? We need to deal with this for good. We must have the resolve to finally free ourselves from this treachery. No matter what it takes!!!

Once again a nice CHRISTMAS present to the Ethiopian public from its appalling leaders? Last year it was a failed invasion of another country and this year it is a mockery of the justice system.

I don't expect anything good from TPLF scumbags.

Their time will come soon to face judgemnet from Ethiopians.

When the whole world celebrates the birth of Chirst, Woyanes X-mas gift is confining our beloved brothers in prison on false charges that have no evidence.

I hope and pray Christ will save them from these beasts.

Keep KINIJIT sprit alive and fight for our innocent brothers that sucrificed their lives for our people.

Once again there is no one should be above and beyond the law of the land. When some one who comited a violation aganist the country constitution like those confused individuals,the punishment would be obvious of their crime. This is not only in Ethiopia but it applies all over the globe as well. Therefore, those monkies are no better than the other. So the government did a wonderful job by teaching them a lesson by not repeating the same mistake on the future.

Though, it could have been better if they would have pardon to the Ethiopian public as well as the government that what they had done as same as the other Kinijit "kangaroos" to free themslves. Now they are lock up for god unless something drastic alternative come up for reconsideration Sad but true.

Finally, today justice has served. Yeha

You do the crime you pay the time…
May be when CUD get the power they will get release by Hilu Shawel.
hu hu…
thank you EPRDF

i believe weyane is going too far. evry one know the only persons who is guilty are woyane and his associates.

Dear all!
These lines sums up the difference between our rights, the "constitution", and the people who were supposed to protect us.
‘"Despite the lack of evidence proving their involvement in leadership and participation during the unrest, no evidence could be found to refute accusations of incitement," judge Mohammed Aminsani told the court’
bye - bye logic 101 said judge mohammed aminsani.
Can you imagine how many tplf-ites can be convicted using this ‘ground breaking’
logic?

take care

I am a big fun of Meles. This guilty verdict doesn’t make any sense to me. Meles I am going to speak to you directly, Be true to what happen in 2005, this people are not guilty. I have a lot or respect for you, but this action is making me think twice. The court should find them guilty if there is concrete evidence proving they have contributed to what happen to 2005. It’s time to understand what happen in 2005 is the fault of everyone including you . Until now I argue on your behalf for creating a democrat system. But, this verdict is make me feel, you are just being the same like other and you are using this inceonent people to make unfairly judgment for your own interest.

Reconsider the verdict.

Thank you

A Major peacefull demonstration must be staged to expose to the International community for the criminal, savages tribunal regime harboured by US .

This is ruling is consistent with what this minority leadership did to CUD leaders. One defining characteristics of undemocratic leaders s is that they have frozen soul which disabled them to see beyond their immediate power thirst and frightening of the society at large. That is what they are doing now. They keep repeating the same mistakes -- because they are blindefolded.

Dear yeha!
I do not know why you call human beings monkies/monkeys. Christmas is coming and our creator will be disappointed on you. You should spend more time with humans to get the concept of comparing humans to humans.
Happy holidays yeha.
Take care.

It is the Tplf minority regime that is criminal for gunning down more than 200 Ethiopians in broad day light. It is the mercenary Agazzi rag tag militia which is criminal not the anti-poverty Ethiopian professionals. Judgment day is fast approaching for the criminal Tplf regime. They are already dying like flies in the streets of Mogadishu.

"Despite the lack of evidence proving their involvement in leadership and participation during the unrest, no evidence could be found to refute accusations of incitement," judge Mohammed Aminsani told the court...

Is that all? How can a government be so stupid, blind and shameless to publish such a statement? One has to be so much arrogant and overconfident to utter such a judicial nonsense or one is simply an idiot.

I do not know what these two men really committed, if they committed any violent action at all. However, for a judge to give such an answer on why he convicted them shows how sick, manipulated, dependent and undemocratic our judicial system is. The rule of law in any democratic state accepts the fact that a court decision should be in favour of the suspect if there is no conclusive evidence to be brought up against him.

Whatever the issue, this arguement by the judge is a shame. It seems that the wretched judge received the decision from the government and he did not know what to tell the journalists.

Even if the government may pardon the two men at some later time, depending on whether such an action may be useful for the ruling party, the whole circus shows again the tragedy in Ethiopia.

The government seems to overlook the fact that, by handing out such court rulings, it is creating martyrs and opposition figures out of people that might not have had such an intention. This court ruling may again be a sign of how desperate a government should be to resort to such measures in oder to get rid off potential "trouble makers".

Those of us with the privilege of writing our "wisdom" in this forum should keep in mind that whatever political line we may follow, we should never forget the right of every human being in front of the law.

It is very good to live in a country where you are presumed to be innocent until proven otherwise. Here in the case of these two Ethiopians, the judge said directly that 'they are guilty because it couldn't be proven otherwise, although it is also difficult to prove their guilt'. Shame on the government who stands behind such judicial system. Shame on the judge and the entire judicial system that tolertes such degree of injustice.

people of ethiopia please stand up against this racist thugs who are the cancer of the horn. tplf thugs leave somalia, free ethiopians from dictatorship, leave badme and peace will come to the horn. stop being the prostitue of the white man. stand up with your people and the people of the horn.

yeha and amsterdammer, did you read what the judge you seem to trust in has said? You could help your cause by shutting up if telling the truth is that much painful to you.

One way or another, they will be free. It is practically impossible to keep spiritually free people in a physical jail. Woyannes don’t have the political (ethnic politics) and psychological (Military might) clout they once had either to control Ethiopia or to keep any patriotic Ethiopian in a real or perceptual jail. Both their assets are there but they are not really there.

Their bunker mentality has put them in a perpetual bunker (around Aratkillo,) and as a result they are impotent and sterile against the enlightened and liberated public. That is why, today, people are already discussing politics as if woyanne is not there. The discussion is not so much so on how and when to replace woyanne but with what.

By now, the menace to our society, Meles Zenawi, is praying that both Daniel and Netsanet will ask for pardon, so he can free them in no time, before the dormant situation turns volatile. I’m sure woyannes are saying to each other, "Easy; don't push it; we don't want to alert the public about our pseudo control of things around here."

Therefore, I’m not sad or worried about these two heroes fate. I’m actually exalted to notice the thing that makes us the masters of our destiny -- the natural immunity we’ve eventually produced against those parasites called woyanne.

Cheers!

The absurd conclusion of the judges that we are going to convict you because you can’t prove your innocence is a shame for the judicial system of Ethiopia. The basic principle of the law which states “you are innocent until proven guilty” has no place in weyane’s kangaroo court. It is a disgrace to the law schools which graduated these unprofessional cadre judges. I am suggesting to the law schools that these judges had attended to revoke their law diplomas and send a strong message to other would be kangaroo judges. Let’s find out which law schools they attended and inform their respective law schools about their unethical judicial conduct. A respected school will be very uncomfortable to associate itself with this kind of nonsense.

Hammurabi the great of Persia is credited for the first crude legal code of a civilized society. The establishment of a government is the choice of the people to give a portion of their freedom and rights, for law and order protection of life and property. This is a major difference between the law of man and the law of the jungle. The later is survival of the fittest and it is not without its own merritts than mans, in a way the animals kill only when hungry. Man on the other hand if unchecked could kill, for many rational or irrational reasons. He can kill for a Nike shoe or for wearing the wrong color of a gang or a symbol of a religion, He kills for the lust of power and greed. Or, for pride in a duel, hatred, racism, regionalism, ethnicity, tribalism, clanism, insanity and war, even is capable of torture and genocide. Animals when their is a power shift of generations, the new boss tries to exterminate the infants of the former so that the mothers stop caring for the old ones cubs and start the business of procuring the fittest of the species and needs to pass his genes. They fight on food and to settle leadership, but accept submission conditional of not lusting the females. A small fish is a prey of one that is larger than itself and it in turn is swallowed by a bigger mouth, one is numerous enough to be preyed up on a hierarchically ladder.
I don't know, if these two young men are guilty or innocent, but I prefer to ere in favor of the justice system that has taken its time to find out the truth. They are found guilty but are not yet sentenced and they have the right to appeal to a higher court or accept their guilt and ask for a pardon if it is not to late. It is no logic that the big fish is let go because he asked for a pardon and it is granted. These two men stood for what they think is their right and it is up to the judge to see the facts and give his judgement and no body else's.
I feel at ease that the judge is a Muslim who have experienced injustice. He knows when he used to miss class unlike his Christian class mates, because a holiday is not a holiday for both. Thus to be or not to be in class is never a choice for one. They have not depended on government jobs to measure their value or worth and are not known to be impoverished on the contrary self employment had been a blessing in disguise and there is no business like business and are good at it. A Muslim judge I assume is from a wealthy family where he is not needed to make ends meet, in the absence of a raw model of success in the public sector. They were not called to render justice as we see it now, is not for lack of knowledge. One can also further infer that he want need no body's job to go against his conscious and become unjust to the orphan and the widower. I tend to believe it is the need of the state to provide justice to the people that more Muslims are on the job today more than ever before, because they are not adulterated by government power and craved for the taste they never tasted before. I bet my life it is better to get justice here than from a drunkard, illegitimate son of a single mother without culture of good character, norm and faith in a higher power.
I am neither Woyane nor Muslim, pay lesss.

craime came paiy for tha time u ndone

"Despite the lack of evidence proving their involvement in leadership and participation during the unrest, no evidence could be found to refute accusations of incitement" judge Mohammed Aminsani

Under what article of the criminal justice of Ethiopia such LAW exist?
This is to say you the accused have the burden of proving yourself innocent, otherwise we will convict you as guilty.

It is really funny and the judge must have been under graet deal of political pressure to come up with such illogical and unjust verdict.
One can imagine why this is so and I think , if the gov. loses here that the original accusation of CUD would be also for naught, as it is the CUD admitted of limited guilt and freed on pardon.

Please release these poor souls...they have already endured enough...there is no need to prove that you, the Governing party, are right.

Cheers..happy holidays.

all u guys u should understad what jadge said the found them guilty the victms the dont have wetness to difence them selve

Free Daniel and Netsanet !
Free conscience prisoners !

D+N,
I wish you Merry X-mas in the cell 'n freedom in 20 08 !
I apply/beg the Eth. law executers to free or pardon you!!

Respect

:, a fun decision!

I recommened this democracy as a Model foor Worled order.

I believe that this the kind of democracy we are waiting for.How on earth people become gulity without evidence? I think this could be model democracy for Africa in general and Ethiopia in particular.I beleive the final veridict in thse innocent will speed up the death Meles and his TPLF bandas. Know you are traped by fact and fabrication of lies unless the fact speaks otherwise. Please can you give us one more lecture on the independence of Ethiopian court from TPLF specifically reasoning out gulity without evidence.HAHAHAAAAAAAAAA AEMOCRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that they are sentenced, they better ask for pardon. Any other adventure is susidal. Nobody is above the law.

I pray that they request for pardon and I also pray that the Ethiopian parlaiment and the Ethiopian president will grant the pardon.

God Bless Ethiopia!

Let the HATERS burn,

While I feel sorry for these two guys's family, if they are found guilty they have to serve their time in a good place for the time they are given.

Oh! Haters need to think better than blobing how you could revenge against Woyane. In this kind of attitude, you are making it very nice for your MASTER Woyanes to stay on top of you.

Peace to all Ethiopian people.

"GUILT TILL PROVEN INNOCENT"

It is distressing,
What I don’t understand are the so called supporters of this sick government,
I have following you guys for long time, no heart, on love, no humanity, no moral, on ethics, no principle, no value,
Can’t you people see…….. this sick government is making statement, shameful point?
This government is so predictable it not even funny, just the other day, people were saying that the outcome will be the as is, b/c, the government have to look credible, since pardoning CUDP leaders, even 10 yr old will comprehend.
But what I find the most shocking is the comment I read form the so called supporters,
I don’t really know, Maybe it is hard for you people to grasp this childish act
Maybe your embryonic brain is only thinking survival than honesty,
You people made me hate this government even more form this day forward you will hear from me.
Ethiopia Tikdem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

........Indeed Justice has served on this matter. Yeha


Yes indeed justice is your servant,I'm longing for the day when JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED !!!

If they are gulty they are gulty period

This is again the justice system at work in Africa. When the gov’t don't like some people, they find excuses to put them away. This is typical…. I was hoping that they go free before the end of the year. I went to AAU with Daniel and I know him well. Netsanet is also a very close friend of Danny. Daniel is a decent and genius young man. However, he should have been careful when he was defying the government. They were setting him up into their trap. People who were also behind him are free and they were never jailed. But he was caught in the heat of the moment. They should have been mindful of the risk when they were jumping into fire.
I hope that they will let them free - The guilty verdict is a public relation gimmick on the government side. The point is that they were not just only poverty activists - they were involved directly in the election politics. Unfortunately, the politics in the third world is a game played with knives. The right thing to do for the government is to free them immediately. The pressure on Meles was building from EU, US & Human Right Orgs. He had no choice but to release the 38 opposition leaders and members before the Millennium. However, these leaders should have refused to walk free and negotiate conditions for their freedom to include freedom to each and every political prisoner in the country. Instead, they run fast at the first opportunity. That way the gov’t would have been cornered and forced to free all of them. Let’s hope that the gov’t will free them with a fake pardon or whatever means….who cares, how you got your freedom from a 3rd world jail. No one will recognize your sacrifice – people have short memories because they have so many other problems to deal with in their lives. Get real.. no one is remembering the hundreds of people massacred on the street of Addis. They are forgotten – so Daniel and Nesanet should just get out by any means. I don’t think that they should languish in jail another night in Kaliti to get the kind of justice they are looking for…

Dear Eshatu Daba !
What are you talking about?
You are one angry dude swinging left and right on everything and finally say nothing.

What happen to you guys? Do you start the holiday early and got drunk and write hateful and divisive messages?

You said,
"...I bet my life it is better to get justice here than from a drunkard, illegitimate son of a single mother without culture of good character, norm and faith in a higher power.”

Hey, I think you have to have a life first before you bet on it.

In the absence of real info, you are found to be sympathizer of bin the dude, guilty.
Take care.

It's hard to judge so quick about somethig with out fairly look into left and right what went wrong, was that crime?,If it is, premeditated or accidental, participating directly or indirectly to acquire something purposely just blaming
the justice system or the law that govern the land with out basic legal knowledge or referring the evidence presented by prosecuter.no one needs innocent ppl stay behind bar. But make sure there are some smart ppl put easy prey (like those 198 victm of CUD who run front and vandalize as they order)whereas those smart ass leaders remain at home which thought safe place. No safe haven after being cause of blood shed.(let me remined you, Eng. Hailu Shawel had live interview with one radio days before 2005 infamous election he siad"It has already known WOYANE will not leave power though CUD won election, It might cost us 10,000 to 15,000 ppl life (will die )when CUD marching to political power "That was the plan how they handle possible problem. That exactly what they did. They are grown ass they know what they did and regret after they saw magnitude of the crime ask full pardon and walk out free with out probation. even they don't deny that officily.but other deny and give a reason they made white people push and divert justice system

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM A BRUTAL DECTATOR

The TPLF regime and its caders and supporters acting aganist the people of Ethiopia with out limit.

Since they came to power 16 yrs ago the only thing they canged was their clothes.They have acted accoring the rule of the jungle.

They have killed and massacred innocent civilians,detained ,inprisoned otheres and thousnads are left their country to refugge camps and millions are liviving in fear.

Their caders ,propagandist and bandist are spreading propaganda of lies and decite inside and out side the country.

They think they have fooled many and confused others but in reality they made the public mad each day pass.

Deep inside they know their days are numbred the public anger and determination is growing.

The day the people will have a say in their country future it is not far way that day justice will be served for those who commited crime on Ethiopian people.

That day they will be hunted down where ever they are and will pay for the crime they commited.

LET US CONTINUE THE STRUGGLE TO BRING JUSTICE FOR ALL.

There you have it!
Those of you who made Christmas wishes I hope your wishes came true. Those couple blow their choices when they where asked by the “SHIMAGILES” to apologize and they would be free. “You do the crime, you will do the time”. Perhaps, the sentencing will be shorter than 10yrs especially given the fact they were locked up for over 2-yrs. They probably will get about 5-more yrs each assuming the jail time they have already done is taking under considerations…

Philly, I know you’re trying to get in the mix and somehow feel you can divide Ethiopians but you should learn how to comment to the topic. Your comment is not related to the topic. You can comment about BADME and Somalia on another subject ERI rat.

These idiot animals(Z-Mike, Agam, Amsterdam, Yeha) are closed minds, whatever Weyane said something they accpted without knowing the content. Most of Tigray people are damn. They need another 100 years to be like the current generation.

It is the same show. The pressure is on and it is time to let them go. This fighters are going to come out now. You see and check this out. The dead court says guilty and this what to call him thing comes out and says I pardoned them. I can't stop from laughing and wondering. These guys are so stupid. They sing the same song over and over again and again. We are tired of them. Don't they understand. melese you worthless thing please go, disappear, kill yourself and get it over with. You have no place anywhere. You have no life worth living. You worth more dead than alive.

These two guys were part of cud that was spreading hate to the same etnic group that saved in 1991 while they were hiding under the bed.They are lucky eprdf is not like derg or other previous government other wise thier crime is far more the ten years sentence.In most europe country the government could hold a person without charging them morethan two years.

What make these two guys any special from the ordinary criminal ethiopians?

Unless the govern have a solid evidence against these two what would eprdf benefit out of it?

There is no question these two abused the position of thier power in order to incite chaos and colaborated with cudergists.Some of you cud supporters wants a free ride when ever one your leaders get caught red handed.It's clear all cudergist members never had respected ethiopian courts or the land of the law.These type of mentality have encouraged most cuds not to abide by the rule of the land.

No one should be above the law in ethiopia when it comes to the land of the law.These two guys are simply a victim of diaspora hate politics and empty promises.Stil some of you cud members are commenting your hate against eprdf supportes as you had done in the last 17 years.In the end your own hate will put you out of commision.

You see this banda when his white masters tell him to release prisoners he tells his kangaroo court to come to some decision so he can pardon and look some kind of what I don't know. He is totally out of it. I sure don't know how he makes it each day. No body needs him. He is not a leader or a what? Can you think of something for thing. It is a thing that does not belong where it is and IT knows it. .......Somebody smack it on the head and bring it to it's senses

You guys "NAZRET.COM" are doing such a great job I want to say THANK YOU. We are a kind of taking you for granted and run and bluff our way out of the thing we are stuck in. With your help we are learning and doing something we never knew it ever existed "THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS YOUR SELF". You guys made it possible and I want to say thank you again. With me we will meet one day or may be we have already met. Who knows we live in a small world. No more call me, please E-MAIL me.

TPLF thugs ,bunch of liars once again you are infecting this websites by your stupid propagandas .Those who really acted unconstitutionnally are your master Zenawi ,his tyrant regime ,your mafia brothers and the murderers Agazi ,these are who have to be brought to justice .Who cares of a verdict from a kangoroo court ;the only thing that peoples know that these two heros are innocent .Soon History shall absolve them. LONG LIVE THE TRUE ETHIOPIANS !!! MOTE LE LEBA WOYANE !!!

I am very much depressed with what has been happening around these two individuals. I hope they will come out from custody safely and with full grace. But they have to watch out their backs and fronts onwards before they play cards with any persons, as they might have been used as a joker with out their knowledge. That was the thing that has happened on them during the election season, I think. Otherwise they look innocent.

Love wins!

Joker,

You have a foul mouth, and a foul brain. It is stupid people like you that make the world interesting!

yehuna,

happy holiday to you too. The reason I call them a monkey because they prectically human but their evil aim was worsn than a monkey. Now they are below than monkey standard don't you agree on that?

Though, there is possibility to come out from their ordeal if they follow the other monkies foot steep which is pardoned to the Ethiopian people what they had done the mistake that they made to distabelized the nation. That's what they need to do right now.

Other wise they will stay behind bar for a such long times. Tegebaben? hope so/ Merry x-mas to you all. Yeha

The so called trial was nothing, but a politically orchestrated show by the regime's men (Prosecutor & the judges) with a semblance of judicial process to make it look like the accused had their day in court.

They can not insult our intelligence. Mr. Al Mariam in his article (on Nazret.com) titled - "Monkey Trial in Kangaroo Kourt: The Crime of Innocense" has laid it bare for any sane mind to see that the regime's so called trial is farcical. It does not even meet the minimum standards of due process of law.

"The defense was denied important discovery (evidence legally required to be turned over to Daniel B., and Netsanet D., lawyers to prepare their defense); and illegally obtained evidence was admitted at “trial”, as was fabricated, hearsay, irrelevant and immaterial evidence. The prosecution was allowed to call witnesses whose identities were concealed from the defense. Defense lawyers were denied the opportunity to investigate prosecution witnesses and prepare effective cross-examination. Prosecutors were given preferential treatment in court proceedings."

If the 'trial' (show) proved anything, it is that in the TPLF/EPRDF run Ethiopia today, the court is nothing but a Kangaroo court.

Ron
did you finish your Esol course?
Well there is a difference between Ogadenian and Ogadeni.

I as an Ogadeni have common grounds with Amhara.

That is we Agree to disagree.

I support Meles in cracking down of anti-peace elements hiding under CUD in Addis ababa just like you support him when he is killing inncocent Ogadeni civilians(in the pretext of fighting ONLF).

You yearn for unity so do I,So lets support Meles and stop yelling.

why you blame the tigreans. The tigreans are true ethiopians and descent of axumites. you gadiem banda

did you finish your Esol course? WHAT THE HELL IS Esol ?
Well there is a difference between Ogadenian and Ogadeni. THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.

I as an Ogadeni have common grounds with Amhara.I DONT KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS . MY GUESS IS OGADENI-AMHARA-ETHIOPIA.

That is we Agree to disagree.THATS THE BEST MOTTO EVERY HOT HEADED AND BLIND SUPPORTER OF ONE SIDE HAS TO LEARN .

I support Meles in cracking down of anti-peace elements hiding under CUD in Addis ababa just like you support(I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU GET THAT IDEA) him when he is killing inncocent(DO YOU HAVE ANY PROOF-YOU GOT IT WRONG HERE. ITS THE OTHER WAY ANROUND)Ogadeni civilians(in the pretext of fighting ONLF).

You yearn for unity so do I,So lets support Meles and stop yelling.I YEARN FOR COMMON SENSE ALSO. I SUPPORT ANY ETHIOPIAN WHO PUTS EFFORT ( 100% )TO MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR THE PEOPLE AND EMPOWER THEIR INTELLECT BY CONTRIBUTING IN EVERY CAPACITY. Any way peace be with you.

i don't know why people appease NGOs. we know that majority of NGOs are serving their appetites for money rather than the interests of our people. under the name of democracy and human rights, they embezzle the funds released from donors.i know about NGOs.when an NGO is established, the so called founders(owners of the company) , give the would be NGO appalling name for donors such as Action Professionals' Association for the People, Action bla bla, Civic Forum for popular participation bla bla.Ater that without any constituency , they open the ngo as a shop. These days NGO are becoming funny.The founders emit their x-rays for catching donors for money under the banner of democracy and human rights. But their intent is not for the people , but personal enrichment. These NGOs employment standard is kinship or ethnicity.More if their staffs is from other ethnic group, they discriminate him.Most of them are haters of tigreans and oromo .they are smpathizers of the old system.i don/t know the case . Tigray people shed its blood for the freedom they have now.during old regimes there were no a single so called human rights NGO , but now in thousands.They are not genuine. The founders and their families corrupt the money obtained from donors. they buy cars and build villas.This is true for the so called human rights organizations like the one i mentioned above.Though i admit the vital role NGO play in democracy and human rights , the NGOs like Action professionals association or civic bllaa or local human rights ngos are smpathizers of neftegna system and haters of other nations. how could you expect human rights ngo protect human rights of people when its leaders corrupt money and hater of other ethnic group. don't always blame the government . ngo bizu gud alew

Some of the comments are the real shabia propaganda pretending to be as an Ethiopian concerned individuals. But thanks to our supper exprenices we know who they are before they open their stinky mouth here.Eziwodihankum Yeha.

I think this site is hosted by non other than the Wayane themselves, otherwise, why would my comment disappear when I say negative things about the Wayane?

RON
Thank you for showing your true colors though it was irrelevant of you.

So you mean those criminals are by default innocent because they happen to be related to you? The law seized to work on your favour come mon its 2007 not 1970's.

What further proof do you need they were already found guiltyby the Ethiopian court(not Newyork times) and will be punished for inciting violence.
I hope they get the most severe punishment.

This will be a deterrent to others.
If you are true Ethiopian then use the ballot to express your political views. If you are defeated then it means the only left option is keep on trying but demos No!

For the unity of Ethiopia EPRDF is the way not CUD (the other face of the Derg).

Merry chrismass.

Reading most of the comments here, I see the hatred posted by most Eritrean Diasporas who are out in full force to destroy the image of our nation Ethiopia... The court has ruled and now those couples most live up to their charges and spend the next X # of yrs behind bar. They have their days in court and the court have said they are guilty in some of the charges and innocent in some of the charges. That is what you call a democratic system…

It’s clear their jealousy towards our nation’s economic and democratic system is getting out of control. ONLF and UIC are also attempting to spread the hatred among our people while wear skirts during the day to hide in the street of Mogadishu. The desperate work by their master Issa-ASS has miserably failed and we should now prepare for our next move towards to the north. Eritrea today is building its military at an alarming rate while the rest of its citizens are starving to death. Its clear that Eritrea is banking in its ill trained and equipped military somehow it will match-up the Ethiopian military. They did not learn their listens from 2000 and the most recent in Mogadishu when it’s 5,000 elite perished in less than a week. Today nearly 300 Eritrean military are crossing into Ethiopia and countless of them into Sudan. Very soon Eritrea will start calling its Diasporas to come and fight because its citizens at home are abandoning it to save their lives.

The only way we {Ethiopians} can build our nation and united our people without interference is that 1st we MOST destroy the state of ERITEA. 2nd kill all SHAEBIAN elements in ASMARA and MASSAWA. 3rd to do so we should acquired some dirty bombs from the U.S and use one of the U.S’s B-2 bomber plane to wipe Eritrean military from the face of the earth. The B-2 bomber is the easiest solution to kill and burry them at once. Upon the success of the bombing we should send our special forces and assist the good Eritreans to build a democratic gov’t and the HORN will be in peace. Otherwise, the longer we talk about it the longer Eritrean leaders will spread there hatred and interferences among our population. Once we accomplish the full return of our port and our territories, our economy will double and no short time our nation will be stronger. We have the manpower to build or nation quicker and at the same time we can have enough reserves in our military just in case there is military crisis in or outside our nation. we need strong economy and military to keep our nation in good shape!

Z-Mike

let's stop politics and start build our beloved country.eprdf is doing good.don't always blame government .
gossiping and criticising our government while eating burger in usa is from building a country. eprdf is best one ethiopia has ever seen

Z-Mike,

I appreciate your progress,though all ur thoughts seem Castle in the air!

Desperate Woyanne insects are now resorting to day dreaming. Call your American masters for help. No more stealing the Ethiopian wealth, no more selling Ethiopian lands and people for few dollars. Your time is up. Be prepare to be shipped back to your little Mekele village. The Horn will be when you are locked in your cages.

TO OGADINAI : YOU GOT IT WRONG AGAIN. NOW WHO IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE LANGUAGE OR YOU JUST WANT TO TWIST WHAT IS WRITTEN INFRONT OF YOU. LET ME DISECT IT FOR YOU AGAIN .This is what you wrote: "I support Meles in cracking down of anti-peace elements hiding under CUD in Addis ababa just like you support him when he is killing innocent Ogadeni civilians(in the pretext of fighting ONLF ). " There are two messages here 1) you said i support meles in carcking down on anti-peace elements hiding under cud in addis ababa. THIS ONE I AGREE ON 100%. Then you continue writing 2)just like you support him when he is killing innocent ogadeni civilians(in the pretext of fighting onlf).HERE WAS AND IS MY RESPONSE:FIRST I DONT SUPPORT HIM IF (BIG IF HERE)HE IS KILLING CIVILIANS. THATS WHY I SAID WHERE DO YOU GET THE IDEA THAT I SUPPORT KILLING OF CIVILIANS .AND I SAID ALSO WHERE IS THE PROOF THAT THE GOVT KILLED CIVILIANS WHEREAS ONLF ADMITTED KILLILG CIVILIANS.now is this clear for you now or do you want to surgically find my true color again.

correction:the previous message is from ron to ogadeni.

Leweyane fewsu AK 47 new!!! Metatek, mewagat, maschenef!! Ye Ethiopia lig ferto ayadrm!! If we do not raise arms Weyane will creat day in day out pretextes for our imprisonment. In the final analisysis, the only language Weyane understands is pointing the barrel in his forhead!! A bullet to Meles, right between his eyes, and another to Mesfin at the same spot!! Then Weyane will be cleaver enough to see we are men in Ethiopia.

RON.
Is it Ironic the way you mention patriotism you try to hijack Ethiopianism to suit you,When News of other nationalities within
Ethiopia(Gambella,Oromo,Ogadeni etc) face govt crack down you are no where to be seen or heard you even try at best to deny the massacre going on in the Ogaden.

By claimming to need evidence?while all reports indicate it as clear as the crystal of the events.
If the evidence you want is from Meles govt.

Then why should I not believe him when he cracks down on a bunch of hooligans on a chaos spree.

Ethiopians are not 13 million.theirfore 13 million should not compromise the peace and unity of 80 million Ethiopians.

For the love of Ethiopia the best option would be for this criminals is giving them a communal service as Ethiopian peace keepers in mogadishu.

No matter what the last day of EPRDF is in Ethiopian politics, Meles is making things harder for the people to forgive him. When CUD leaders granted pardon, it was a win win situation for them and the woyane government, even though the were not supposed to be in prison at the first place. Is it no also a win win situation for Meles to release this two guys wheather the asked pardon or not. No one can ask him why he sent them to prison any way. he is the FLACH KORACH

to z-mike:

you little day dreamer. you said so many things, most of it was bordering genocide or genocide itself, anyway im not suprised by your words, i have heard you and your like say similar things and worse things before. however, after point 1, 2 and 3, you finished stating your three pretexts and you stated what you really wanted, which was a port and territories from eritrea.

why are you being greedy, you have one of the best lands in the world, why look to your neighbour?

after that you went back to making pretexts and talked about invading eritrea and bringing "democracy" and "building" and continued your lying so dont think we dont know what you really want anta su'sU (you are greedy).

lastly, you talk about jealousy, but you are the jealous one, who continously talks about Eritreas land and ports, your government is still occupying soveriegn Eritrean territory, so it is clear that it's you z-mike and TPLF who is jealous.

nazret, please post my comment. thank you.

Eprdf is tired of giving pardons to the ungreatiful sevents of shabia such as these two criminals anti ethiopia.They are not any better from the rest of ethiopia what ever the court decide is what it matter.

The rest of you cudergist pretending you care for them are the most disgraced anl lier people in this earth.All your hayenas cry are for political reasons in order and further to gain supporters and steal money.When is the shame is gonna stop for your greed and self loving.Ethiopia dont want you in her land or using her name to destroy her with her enemies.

Fake crys and propaganda to defame the current eprdf government will not bring you any fruit now or tomorow.Ethiopia is a country with courts be it fair unfair thier are money good ethiopians seving the people with out any pressure.Stop acting like a spoil child of your baby days.Ethiopians dont care about anyone as long as they dont respect the law.

. . . unblindfolded Justice

. . . one sided Scale of Justice

. . . and manipulated Sword of Justice

This is the worst and ugliest court that I ever seen in my life . . Shame on us!!!!

ADDIS ABABA, Dec 26 (Reuters) - Two human rights activists received a two-and-a-half year jail sentence on Wednesday for inciting post-election violence in 2005, but will walk free within days as they have already served their prison time.

An Addis Ababa court found the pair "guilty of inciting violence and uprising against the government". Their defence lawyer said, however, they would be freed in three days. (Reporting by Tsegaye Tadesse)

nana,

Thank you for the update. I read the news on another web site this morning, but the source did not have the writer's name or the media affiliation.

Nazret.com hopefully will post something soon.

What’s ME? How was your X-MAS in the west? You are ERI I am ET… let’s come up with real ordeal for our nation. I am willing to exchange my civilized views with you…

Nazret.com will continue to post your comments as long as you are willing to communicate in a civilized minor.
Take care,
Z-Mike

My friends the judge is from God we all are sinner let us judge first us. Because of the election problem and the lost lives some of you through the internet some of you who fired the bullet, some of you who order to kill or some of you who initiate the demonstration are counted and responsible and you will be accountable. Let us make free ours first. What is common sense ? Why we act like nothing.
We are living at the edge wake up! Politics is fool and fool.
Look this video typing in Google “666 This preacher says he’s Jesus. Now he’s the Antichrist” or
“ Man say He’s Jesus, followers get 666 tattoos”
So at this time we have to fight each other? “Geta yalew layker egna yalinewu layehon” So if you are wise and cleaver see outside your yard and see the sky a little bit be expertise see it see the mountains and oceans and all made by Gods law because still we do not see anything that is why I become obstacle to my brothers and others become to others bite each others Please you nazret.com commentators engage good idea others, treat others not insult and word fight it is enough!
What are you waiting especially you politicians Ethiopian politicians. Who you are plan to oppressed Gods people who You are now oppressing Gods people Don’t you forget what God said, “ You Israelites you are my children like my children Ethiopians why not you obeying me” So why today we forget and act like a nothing?
PM MELES, Isayas parliaments and judgers, MENE, TEKEL UPHARSIN God has numbered your government and finished it. You have been weighed it in balances and found wanting! Leave free these prisoners now with out any pre condition. All CUD and ALL EPRDF and ALL off you are responsible the problem and for those lives lost. so why not let free those young men? Do you think God late?

to: Z-Mike

z-mike, i am me. anyway, my christmas in the west was very nice thank you however i am now waiting for the christmas that we normally celebrate in our culture which is about 2 weeks after the west's christmas. how was yours, i hope it went well. anyway, thank you for your response, i am willing to share my views with you as well. and i see nazret are willing to post my posts sometimes, which is good. thank you and bye for now.

ME,

I am a proud son of ETHIOPIA and have no party affiliations. Another words, I don’t hold any memberships for any ET party. I however support and agree with most of EPRDF/TPLF {MELES} for many reasons. And I hope I’ll further discuss my beliefs with you {the audience about my support to the party I listed above}. Of course I do have my own disagreements with MELES and his party however I always put ET 1st proudly…

However, allow me to say thank you for your willingness to share your views with me in this form and I am certain NAZRET.COM will allow us to continue on sharing each others views.

So, here is my ordeal about your people {ERITREANS}…1st of all I don’t believe in genocide or killing all ERITREANS but I do believe that to have peace in E. Africa: certain thinks need to change for the better of the people: of course this is solo my opinion, 1st, Eritrea has to stop supporting ONLF and UIC. 2nd, ERI leader should stop building hatred against ET and division among ET. 3rd, in order for both nations ERI&ET to live in peace both sides {leaders} most lower their egos and let the people live in peace like they did before the war started in 1998. Both sides lived as one for many decades and border was not an issue even in 1991 when MENGISTU was overthrown. ASSEB was used by ET until 1198 without any issues. Today, the port is becoming useless and both sides are hurting economically and neither side is willing to give in…

Prior to 1991, EPLF & TPLF ate slept together, shared everything together and stood together {all thus there was series problems created by EPLF in 1984 when they blocked ET people from entering to Sudan and watched them to die during the famine}. Of course, those are the few regrettable moments I clearly know that EPLF had mistreated ET people and again in 1998 when the war stared. The few examples that I choose to list above are not an attempt to blame ERI people but to give you an idea about me on how my feelings started to change towards to the ERI gov’t/ppl… I personally had close relationship {friendships} with many ERI/PPL until 1998 however since 1998 things went soured and I disliked ERI people very much. Perhaps, you might take it persona and get upset with me but in order clear communicate I need to be honest with you.

Now, the questions are endless, however we most start somewhere and start to ask each other and ourselves… how do we help our people to united? How can we respect all ERI/ET/Somalia {the HORN} etc and build better economy? How can we make a difference to the poor? We live in the west and we’re financially better off than most of our families in Africa… as an Orthodox Christian, I certainly DONOT believe in any kills however I have to admit that I have said kill ERI people to get some people in this form angry and perhaps, that is my weakness or naive-ness. Therefore, I shall stop here and allow you to share your views including your peaceful critics about my openness and honesties.

Thank you,
Z-Mike

As fore me, the saddest, and the daunting agony is that, the so called, the none governmental agencies (NGOS) who are supposedly there to help organize, for the betterment of our people and country, gets dip in to our internal political and social affairs, will turn out to be the instigators of various social and political problems, and yet our government and many other African governments seems to be not taking an effective major to curtail the very social disobedience created by this NGOs.

I sometimes wonder, how did Woyane, shaebias little dog, manage to be Ethiopian more than the Ethiopians. How did it manage to controll us, is it because we are getting weaker, or there is some other reason, the one which I personally fear most, the fear it self. Talking will bring no change WEYANE CAME BY SWORD; AND BY SWORD IT SHOULD GO!!!! It is time to be men and speak weyanes language, the language of force.

This is the worst statment I have ever read delivered from a court. Judge Mohammed asserts in validating his decision "despite the lack of evidence proving their involvement in leadership and participating during the unrest, no evidence could be found to refute accusations of incitement." Such a statment full of contradiction might be expected of politicians who quite often talk both ways. But it is really sad a judge would deliver from his bench such a remark. If they had found to have no involvement in the unrest, how comes they become responsibile for the incitement? Moreover, the judge seems to say the government is accusing you two of incitements, it is your obligation to prove that the government is wrong. What the judge really saying is these two had no leadership positions in the opposition parties, nor participated in the demonstrations that followed the 2005 election; however,the judge seems to be not convinced that they might not have as well collaboration with the instigators of the unrest. If the government proves that to be the case, the government might have, although questionable, a reason to find them guilty as accused. That is not what the judge is saying. The judge states the government accused of you two with involvement in leadership, participating during unrest, and incitement. While the government has no evidence to lock you up for not having evidence for the former two, the third one which requires the government only to believe that you participated in the incitement, you failed to prove that you did not.

We all have to unite against
Woyane, they got to step down, nobody wants those stincky beggars.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !
