good news for his family and i hop the rest of officials learn some thing from tamerat and stay out from sukar

Let Meles Zenawi also go to jail and hanged like Saddam. That is what 94% of the Ethiopians want and counting down for that to happen. Peace for all.

Tamerat Layne is another ethiopian who is the victim of meles aka hitler. 12 for corruption but meles gets zero for killing 209 innocent civilians, ogaden massacre, somalia, eritrea so on so on so on.

fake democracy at work,

so Shek Mohammed AL Mudin TO Kality or Sendafa prison ??

philly,

please don't pretend to be looking out for Ethiopian interest, don't you have things to do like smuglling your starving brother to ethiopia from Sawa so he can ask for refugee status in the U.S. concentrate on that philly cheese stake ass N****. let realy ethiopians handle biz like we do. Economy is good in ethiopia believe me i am the truth got a good biz going on. if you don't mess with politics in ethiopia there is a good biz opportunity. you have to be a hustler and a fox. Sorry eritreans are not born with that. it is in our ethiopian blood. pretend you support TPLF and your good son. get your money politics is for the fool. get it.

He looks better than Meles to serve as a next Prime Minster of Ethiopia.

Another burglar is set free. We expact this leba to form new party and run for another power to creat another mess. What Siye abrha, gebru asrat.... all these crapy idiots did was the same. For now one big leaba(meles) is enough for ethiopian until we get rid of him.

Shame on him.who cares about rats. No wonder even if he serves life because he diserves it as he betrayed the ethiopian people and the land it self. He and meles are equally criminals before the ethiopian people. No one forgets his confession as corrupt and rot. Had it not been for his support and womanish subservancy, meles and the woyane wouldn't be this pain and humilation to ethiopia. Call me what , this is the bigning of the worest to this traitor.

I feel sorry for Tamerat layne,he shouldn't be jailed for those many years.Melez should be compensates Tamerat.because,for corruption and power missuses is common in Africans and isn't crime in Ethiopia at all.
The many sky rise towers,that in Addis were built by corruptions and a looted money from the publics.I guess,the man was jailed for policy and not for the reasons that charged.

Mr Togona Dechassa
Even your name sound dump and stupid. Where did you get your fact 94% of Ethiopian. Please be civil learn how to arrgue. I am sick and tierd of people like you.

As an amhara I am real sad when I see people like tamirat layne who comet mass genocide against amhara walks out free. Trust me 12 years is not enough. It’s ok when we have the right government he will go back including his friend fascist meles zanawe.

stupid people keep doing stupid thing like males zenawii......he should go to jail for his life cus he killing innocent with out any reason ......tamret was in prison 4 12 years....but million of oromo in prison for lifeeeee...do u think they dont have life like this guy......

One can only hope he changed

Are you telling Ethiopians Meless and his wife Azeb never steal any money or abuse the power ?
Buuulshiiiiiittttttt. Two of you Need to Leave Ethiopia before worst happen. Go and stay in your five million dollar mansion in Australia.

Chombe,
yante aynet shintam cannot be counted as a man to list the names you mentioned in your comment. they are men with balls. unlike you, who is confused. I don't think that you even know which gender you belong. stop crying wolf from far. be man enough to fight. shintam

This is not justice he will add another 20 years with his boss in the hands of real ethiopians.

Sorry, This "leba" and anti_amhara stupid out of jail.

History never forget him about he said during massacre of innocent Amhara by OLF, TPLF & other Oromoes. When he was asked by journalist, he said, " who care about those power hunger Amharas who went to other region. They went to there to find power ("siltan filega yehade neftegna")

I am too happy he will stay in jail through out his life.

I love my innocent people where they live inside & around the globe.

long live for them!!!

Death & jail for anti-Ethiopians!!!

Gone are the days of summary execution and political vendetta. Here is a new Ethiopia tolerant even of those whose political aim is nothing but enriching themselves by looting the state coffers. He could have used another six years to ensure that he understood very well that looting is an old political style of the tribal system.

Mr. Tamrat should write a book, a biography of himself.

The news states that Tamirat Lyne was jailed for corruption charges by Ethiopian court NOT by Meles. There fore, you shouldn’t be jumping in to wrong conclusion as Tamirat was jailed by PM Meles.

A person like Togona Dachassa and those of you who are not pleased with the way Ethiopia was governed by current governTogona Dachassament, your own personal interest must have been affected when you were trying to exploit the growth of Ethiopia.

Please understand the contents of the news before you spill out your usual insult from your dirty mouth on Ethiopian leader who brought Ethiopia in better shape and position than ever in all sectors in history of Ethiopia.

Whether you liked it or not, I personally don’t think there is any person that would replace PM Meles to guide Ethiopia in the right direction during in such troubled times around the world.

His leadership was exemplary to others that PM Meles paved the way for Ethiopia to be pulled out of economical and poverty problems, and also paved the way for Ethiopia not to be ruled by one Ethnic group centred mentality any more. It is over.

The previous leaders installed all problems including denying equality to all different ethnic groups in the country.

Denying to opening up universities in each provinces for boys and girls.

Denying telecommunication system’s expansions to all Ethiopians.

Denying media expansions to all Ethiopians.

Denying freedom of investments in the country, the list keeps going on and on.

But this current government offered all Ethiopians and none Ethiopia origins an opportunities to change Ethiopia’s economy and image to out side world.

Who knows why one woyanne release another woyanne; while thousands of other innocent Ethiopians are dying in jail without a single charge? Woyannes do not know what justice means. Ethiopians are living in fear everyday of being arrested or even being killed for nothing at all.
Abul, don’t flatter yourself; It is not always Ertrians who are speaking out against the well known woyanne dictator Meles. And it is not 94%--it is 99% of Ethiopians hate your master Meles. Sometimes get out of your comfort zone and talk to some real Ethiopians and you will find out the truth. Meles has stripped people’s rights, liberty and justice and has thrown innocent people in prison and many have been killed for just exercising their God given rights in their own mother land. Only fools and the insane that have no concept of justice admire dictators. Life is not worth of living if you live it in fear.
Patrick Henry said best: “Give me Liberty, or Give me Death”

I guess he is not a threat to his power any more!

What a jock ,this eagly guy deserves what did happen to him .Cooperating with anti Ethiopian elements like Chabya and TPLF thugs is simply an evil act of BANDA !!!On his turn he had been betrayed by the leba Zenawi as much his fellow Seye by finishing strown to prison for 12 years ."..Bere hoye sarun agegn beleh gedelun sataye tesebabreh kereh woye..".A good lesson for Aderby Bandas and fool diaspora peoples working with and for the evil tyrant Zenawi ,his thugs and agazis . LONG LIVE THE TRUE ETHIOPIANS !!!! MOTE LE ADERBY BANDA !!!!

This is Tigray power strugle afair type, they all ought to be extriminated anyway .

"He who steals a little steals with the same wish as he who steals much, but with less power." -Plato

Lets be clear that Tamrat Layne never committed crimes that far exceeds Meles's, Sibhat's, Seye's and all other central players' of the transitional period who have fomented the massacre of Amharas in the South and made sure Ethiopia will be land-locked forever. if one wants to be specific however, no other woyane beats Meles that represents the doom and gloom, the treason and corruption, the torture and murder, the failure and even success of Woyane. He has been the face, the heart and brain of his mercenary party called Woyane/eprdf. Why did they throw him to prison then? I hope that Tamirat himself will answer those questions in the near future. But, one thing is certain, after his incarceration, his party formerly knows as EPDM (Ethiopian People Democratic Movement) has become the most useless and stooge party within EPRDF and adopted the new name ANDM(Amhara National Democratic Movement).

Lekim, you want to talk about looting, then tell us where the hell Sibhat Nega's family found the riches to own the companies they have today OR simply where the hell the resource is coming from to establish tens of "Tigray Endowment Companies" fully controlled and run by illiterate cadres such as Azeb and the Equbay family (Mesfin Engi, Sur construction, wogagen.....)? The whole Ethiopia knows that the party woyane/tplf in general is a constituent of rats and looters who has turned themselves millionaires over night. You have emptied the coffer of our banks and replaced the nation's gold with iron bars. Leboch!

Togona Dachassa can you please talk only for your self? I am sure you have not done any survey to support your comment. We need facts, and after that we can talk or wright but to write this kind of comment which is far from fact looks petty to me. Peace to all and Congra Ato Tamerat and your family I'm sure this is the happiest day for you and for your family and I personally is happy for you. Good luck in the future.

This is what you called karma; Tamerat spent 12 years in prison Melese is going to follow

Chombe whom do you have in mind when you get rid of the current pm?

garaf hin boyu maybe you are the brainy one and be our next pm ooops or did you get confused with the meaning of stupid? Come to Addis we have liberaries and maybe you will look the word up. Or maybe you can google it in the internet - I'm sure you have access to one.

It is only the question of time and place that Legese Zenawi will be paid for the trick he payed in our political life and for the blood our chidren and beloved citizens shed.what is very important, is our unity and common sense against these gagisters who are influeced by the system of devide and rule.But, if we fail to do that we are curse and forgotten people in hitory by the rest of the world.

Who truest Mr. Meles ? He downplayed serious human rights. He put all his friends in to jail which he fear for his power. He used court system to put in to jail his opponent by the name of justice. (Tamerat, Eseye, Gebru Asrat, Tewelde……)
I cannot be said that Ethiopia's justice system had ever been strongly independent or even remotely influential in the nation's affairs. Court trial like Tamerat case had gone under closed door not open to Ethiopian people to give his own judgment and trust Meles If not political revenge or interest the court must be open to the public and people should learn something from that and believe Meles. If Meles really have confident on himself at least he should open the court trial for public, imagines Ethiopian people didn’t know what was going on in the court regarding Tamerat case.

Who cares if he would freeze in the dungeons of Woyane jail? Whether he is Amhara or Agaw has nothing to do with the farce of TPLF justice. Tamrat Layne has got the blood of thousands of poor Amharas in his hand who were coldbloodedly massacred by OLF-TPLF consortium from June to October in 1991. His inciting statement will never disappear from our memory: "Gizew Yante New Belew! Tinant Shiritam Silih Yeneberew Neftegna/Amhara New; Ahun Gizew Yante New Belew! Belew! Belew!"

Forget the complete absurdity that he fought for peace, equality and justice of all Ethiopians. But can one expect such a harsh and devilish agitation against Amharas by someone who claims to be himself Amhara/Agaw?

It is quite laughable that some people here on Nazret.com tend to send congratulatory gesture to Tamrat's family about his pre-mature release. Very criminal! What would the poor souls and bloods of more than 5,000 Arbagugu victim Amharas react? What would the children, women and the elderly who were burnt alive in their huts feel high above from the heaven? Poor Ethiopians!

The time will come for Tamrat Layne to get back to jail together with Meles, Sebehat, Abay Thehaye, Addisu Legese, Tefera Walwa etc...

this ugly zenaw is hanged like Sadam soon

Throw him back, Tamrat Layne is
nothing more than an interhamwe fool wannabe looter banda who tried to sell Ethiopia.

The only difference btw him and the midget is brains. The midget is cunning and pragmatic psycopat while bandaTamrat is a bona fide adgi.

comment from ALEX PARIS I think mr. Tamerat has been jailed for corruption 12years. He learn from his mistake.as a result of the fact let him know on wich he work in peace

funny.

Just a few days ago I was talking to the psycho Lehatacham about this case. My argument was that both Siye Abraha and Tamerat Layne were accused of the same crime and should have been pardoned equally.

The psycho ("Lekim") offered me his variant of the "Worqi Hizbi" argument stating how Siye Abraha was somehow more "golden" than Tamerat Layne and thus the same crime can not be seen with the same lense. Psycho continued to tell me how the past rulers were tribal...

Now they have let go Tamirat Layne (may be thanks to me oh god!) This proves my suspicion that Lehatcham is some lonely POS who is cheer leading TPLF out of tribal loyalty.

P.S. LEKIM, everybody in TPLF is making millions of $$$ and as everybody from Tigray will tell you, making out without as many girls as they want (especially Sibhat Nega - the Womanizer of Tigray). you are stuck here, alone, without a penny and without a woman or a child. Considering that, how does it feel that Tamirat Layne is out of prison, just because I tell your bosses to do so?

Who cares about this sellout? He was one of the people who put Ethiopian where she is now. Plus I won’t forget what he said once he was a PM, he went down south if I don’t forget it, it was in Harare…he make statement that put one ethnic group endanger… He deserve it… whoever work against Ethiopian interest and her people always is my enemy… Hope one day Melese goes the same place where this guy was. Furthermore he was shameful to confess his crime in public. Melese makes him a full in front of Ethiopians. At least Seye stand farm regardless they make him to believe his crime. All the leaders of TPLF are responsible for the division of that country and the loss of our port…

lekim,

Was it a quick phone call or an email that got him freed? I saw you cornered the other day by one of the good bloggers here about the obvious double-standard in Seye being freed yet Tamerat still suffering for basically the same crime. I knew it then how powerful his observation was because it rattled you for a while. Still, I always suspected and think overheard you bragging about the extent of your influence, but never thought you are this powerful. Thanks anyway for talking some sense into that dimwitted "Prime Minister" of yours. Woyanne's double-standard in matters requiring equal treatment of all our citizens is one of the many indicators of the lack of respect for the rule of the law. So it's not just the Balkanisation of the country that troubles us about woyanne. Even if no Ethiopian is crazy about that fool and poster child for woyanne's institutionalized massive public wealth embezzlement skim, all citizens should be seen equal in the eyes of the law of the land. But don't get me wrong, there are some like UDJ that will be elated by this news. They now have one more disgraced former high-ranking woyanne official to prepare for the next election. Besides how can you make us forget about Teddy? Anyway, now, we can at least use you to channel our frustration and disgust with the despots in downtown Addis. Tell that chewawa, "in your face, you unEthiopian pariah dog, the day you came to power (genebot 20, 1983) will be the day that will live in infamy." Come what may, what the public longs for won't be denied!

Cheers!

To those cadres who are telling us how Tamirat Layne is a sellout,I have this to say to you. Some of us here were members of ANDM at some point in life. We know why you are repeating that b.s. but I am glad for my own conscience that I am not part of that rotten, manipulative, sick organization.

Good riddance. Hope to see you on the other end.

comment from ALEX PARIS
I think mr.Tamerat has been jailed 12
years.He learn from his mistake as a
result of the fact Now let him know on wich he work in peace.

Kidist Ashagre,

A genuine prostitute!

Tamerate Layne a son of a Wollo Amhara born to be great Ethiopian but corruption destroyed his carreer. When the brave Amhara Democratic Army of soldiers from Wello and Gonder were working with the TPLF and OPDO to bring down the Derg we had great vision. Tamerate you destroyed Amhara name that is why most Tigray and Oromo think Amhara is corrupted. Thank God for Sheik Alamudi who bring up Amhara people name with pride again Tamerate have to publicy apologize for his mistake

who is not corrupted? SibAzeb empire allover from Djibouti to London. TamRat was part of the system later used against him and his ethnic background made him arrogant later disadvantaged him, whereas people like Siye released after serving half of the time for the same charge. what goes around comes around, Meles and his gangs will have their turn. anyway good news to his children.

Hey Ato Tamirat Layne,

Welcome back to the so called 'free world. Do not do agian what you have done it. If you conefessed God has already foregiven and the people of Ethiopia will do. I believe we should have to think for the future, we don't anymore uphold and negative things. We have to think for our generation and for the future one's we are the sielent victims of all our nagativity and wrong doing. We are tierd of all prejudiece, paradox and otherization and so on... Please let's us think for our future and be a change agent that we would like to see in Ethiopia. May the God of Ethiopia bless the people and the Land.. Ethiopia is enough for the world let alone for 80 million people. Let's think for the future, for the victims of all these nagativity and the like.

Tolerance of the Great Meles has no limits. But I hope he wouldn't abuse it as the Kinigits who asked for mercy and took responsibility for the attempted putch has forgotten that they even has asked pardon. I hope he learns the culture of GUBO looting has no place in modern Ethiopia. There are still looters but these entrenched cultures of looting are hard to get rid off easilly.
If Kinigit reactionaries were in power it would have gone unchecked. Thievery would have been the norm. Thanks to the EPRDF and its hard working Prime Miniter for saving us from those thugs and looters.

negist ashagre.....i think u r the one u missunderstood the topic.if u will the article is about tamrat layne,not about men's balls if u have a problem getting ball i have 2 of them that i can share them with u.other than that u can ask the people u sympetize they might give u some if u r not ugly.do u understand? maferya,wushetam,balege nesh.

We are living in a civelized society
where we can learn and improve ourself,
but still hatred and narrow mentality
is governed our brain.You forgot during
red terrism how many youngsters we lost
by your hero mengistu and now you are
blaming the smartest leader ever never seen Ethiopia had.Bull

Hey Ato Tamirat Layne,

Welcome back to the so called the ‘free world’. Do not do again what you have done some years ago. If you confessed from your heart God has already forgiven you and the people of Ethiopia will do. I believe we should have to think for the future, we don't anymore uphold all negative things. We have to think for our generation and for the future one's who are the silent victims of all our negativity and wrong doing. We are tired of all prejudices, paradox and otherization and so on... Please let's us think for our future and be a change agent that we would like to see in Ethiopia. May the God of Ethiopia bless the people and the Land.. Ethiopia is enough for the world let alone for 80 million people. Let's think for the future, for the victims of all these negativity and the like.

WHO-CARES

For nearly 8-years The greedy EX-LEBA took WEYANE'S side due to the thives bargan scams and cheat! S.O.B rutless! arogant lured by the bait of easy money and the notrious lies comes out from the pungent mouth of MELATW- ZINJERO =(The Hat Trick ADWA monkey): spend so much time dealing with dollars and numbers by raping the poor country. while the "The bad old TEGRE racist boys" viewing him and other AMHARA-HODAMS solely as either pawns or obstructurs to the raped unpursuit of wealth, they trumple on this AMHARA-BULL and alienate his foolish-AZZ for 12-years in the solitary confinement. GOD! help these TPLF FAGGGGGGGOY wipedout each other!

Abdul

You must be a random brainless idiot to deny the fact that the Ethiopian people hate Meles. I would say 95% not 94 % Ethiopians hate Meles expect to see him hanged in Minilik Adebabay.

Abdul you are ebd (crazy) hodam

Togona Dachassa, I totally agree with you. If I had a means I would have assasinated Meles today or inserted him in boiling oil and free the Ethiopian people.

Abdul: those hodams like you are the sustain of this hyena named Meles Zenawi

first of all he is amhara with an all tigray government. He was naive to think he would get fair treatment. does anybody know of any Tigray other seya that went to jail for corruption???? WE ALL KNOW WHY SEYE WENT TO JAIL! CHALLENGED MELES AND THREATNED THE PARTY

negat,
you should learn how to place comments on this blog. Don’t get too personal. Be civilized and place constructive comments.

Do not destroy the noble name you are hiding behind as a Woyane supporter.

Hmm ... 17 years in forest as rebel and 12 years in prision as crimial. A wasted ~30 years. I hope he will gradually come to terms and leads the rest of his life humbly ...
-- Lord

I don't under stand who is rigt. all are the same to me fighting for chair please africa.

wait and see,tamirat is going to join seye abrha start preaching how bad and dictator meles is, to tell us what we don't know,expect us to follow him for the peace full struggle to overthrow meles.worrobella leba.meles ferdobhal gena yeEthiopia hezeb yekeral.

This criminal should be left to his prison for life. He ordered to kill innocents Gonder ppl who said go shabians home. These proud ppl when they new what the shabiasn paraites upto decided nothing to do with the shabians from Edir membership upto govermental posts. What a proud ppl. but the now free criminal, then the Quisling (ethiopian banda for shabia) said our struggel is not finished until all eritrean ppl live in peace and proseperity in Ethiopia. So ppl today is my sad day. This criminal must be sent back to prison. I dont care who send him. The point is he is mercinary. Look at him, when he came to addis he started like this and now the same over staked egg more darker and old called. I hate this man.

One innocent eprdf soldir told me once when they took power this. Tamrat "From today on, no ethiopian helicopter fly and kill another Ethiopian." Not more than 2 years he told me this, Tamrat ordered and killed innocent gonder ppl by ethiopian helicopter. May be those parasite were the one who flew the plane. But i dont give a shit about it. But this crimainal in prison. I dont blieve in killing. Let him learn from his mistake. It is not my day today. i feel bad.

bye folk.

from my understanding is that this Tamerat guy stood up to Meles that why he was sent away to jail.

oh my goodness mr tamrat taye(SUGER) GOD BLESS MIM he used to be a hero man acording his back ground however after he went to jail then been for 12yrs now he release free , die with shero no more suger

Tamrat is released after serving what is he deserved to get.

I am certain Mr Meles will follow the and for sure he will serve the rest of his life or being hanged in Meskel Square or in Aduwa his brith place for massacaring innocnet Oromo childen, women, and elderly individuals for only being Oromos. Not only Oromos but also for the atrocities he committed agaisnt the Sidama people in Awasaa, Mazenger people, the Anuwak people and more vividly for genocide committed against Ogadenese and Somali people in their own country !
Dawn with this vicious, bloodthirsty ,and implacable MELES/ LEGGESSE ZENAWI !!!

We Ethiopians don't care about woyanes and shabiyans but we care a lot about our beloved country emama ETHIOPIA.

Meles with his TPLF communist ideology did what he wanted to do to grab power by force, damage Ethiopia‘s integrity and peace and eliminate all his greedy friends and foes who he is afraid of challenging him in power grabbing .

Although Meles with his devilish plan managed to destroy our land (i.e. the port of Asseb and ceding land to Sudan) he was not successful in dividing us ethnically.

Like all cruel dictators after 20 years in power Meles is now confident that Tamerat is no longer his threat to let him go.

This is what happens when one collaborates with evil TPLFs.

Tamerat himself is a greedy evil. No one cares even if he rots in prison.

Does anybody knows what happened to the money he embezzled/got through the corruption? Is he still having it in his Swiss bank? If he is just serving the time and gonna keep the money he looted then this makes it a joke. The Ethiopian people deserves more than that. Abusing power and looting from poor people should receive the ultimate punishment under the law. Tamrat needs to clear his conscious by returning the money and be example and educate people what the consequence of abuse of power and corruption. If he moves out of the country with his loot money then all his life time struggle/fight to better the peoples' life would be in vain. He should prove himself what kind of citizen he is by going back to his humble roots and serve the people again on different platform - possibly fighting corruption and abuse of power. Otherwise, he is done just like his predecessors power abusers and looters.

good news for Tamirat and his family. congra. Tamirat make sure that the next person to face justic is Melses and His "gangesters". Iy is your responsibility to bring everybody in the cadre who abuse power and embezzled wealth to face justice. Truth always prevails. Make sure next life in prison is melse and his gagisters

Abul

No comment on the names but Togona Dechassa’s assertion seems to be right. Actually Togona is a bit generous to give 94% instead of 99.5% . I think that was to give in for the margin of errors.

99.5% of Ethiopians including the non TPLF Tigreans disapprove and hate Meles. I am also very generous to give 0.5% for TPLF criminals and their colaborators. They are not even that much.

The dog was arrested & the big is in power, both are animals who cares the strong eats small.
lol Ato Meles accusing some 1 as a coruption what a funny.

Aliyab

You have to believe in what you see practically not only theory.

You tell me how many universities were there in Ethiopia before this current government came to power? Then you can argue.

Any cases needs to be judged after proofed.

I am from Addis from middle class family by the way. My relatives have either jailed or died serving Ethiopia during previous and current government. What I see was not that I lost my family members but growth of Ethiopia that was achieved by current government.

Rascals like have big mouth want to enjoy lives in some one else’s suffering. You have to work hard not only for your self but Ethiopia and economy of Ethiopia.

Free,

Are you one of those Amhara aka KKK or what? You always find yourself in the same hole while crying in a cycle about the people of Tigray. You know the difference between people like you and the true Amharas…you are the divided and the good Amharas are focused on unity and democracy with all Ethiopians. They don’t see the people of Tigray the way you see them. And for that same reason suckers like you will never see the daylight in Ethiopia. Responsible Ethiopians from all wake of life want to work together without division and leave you disparate diasporas hanging in the air!
yoooooooooooooo!

Any thing new? A criminal released! full stop

heheh that is good he is out of prison for his family.
While Meles is on power, you can expect any madness to happen so it is not surpising he will throw anyone into prison!!!!

Tamerat Layne May God bless you and your Family, There is like God , God is faithful and trustfull, But Weyane and Melese are so corrupted, in weyane there is no corrption, every bad activivty and stolen money is very normal,
Shame on Melese and Adewa"Entecho"
From Evangelist

...state media said he was freed early after showing good behaviour.

Sure, his actions must have looked like those of an angel when compared to today’s widespread corruption. Even longtime woyane de-facto “information minister” Amare Aregawis’ paper “The reporter” can’t stay silent anymore.

It’s all rotten to the core and it stinks!

Ra

Janet! I do not know how much you get paid for being this blind that you are now.

Is this the long overdue action towards Peace and Reconciliation in Ethiopia?

Certainly, the news of the release of Tamirat Layne, former PM is a good start in the right direction particularly towards the efforts of Peace and Reconciliation in Ethiopia.

Therefore, please, couple this happy news with the following actions to mark the CHRISTMAS and NEW YEAR celebrations so that these prisoners may enjoy the freedom to celebrate with their families on these two happy occasions:

1.) Extend General Amnesty to all the Petty Offenders overcrowding the prisons throughout the country on the CHRISTMAS EVE, and

2.) Extend General Amnesty to all the political prisoners on the NEW YEAR EVE to rid the country from foreign criticism.

Let us reconcile and let the bygones be bygones and start with a clean slate for the new year of 2009.

This reminds me Sadam Husen. Sadam took his handkerchief to clean his tears after he cries while he killed his associates who have the capability to take his power. Meles is a replica of Sadam. He instead put potential people in prison.
Siye and Layne were outsmarted by this snake. That is the difference. Mengistu Hailemariam also played that kind of game. Nothing new.

The end of Meles will not be any different from Sadam, Mengistu and others. His tribal followers see him today as their messiah mainly because he shares with them all the wealth he steals from Ethiopians. In this regard he is smart. Sadam was also supported by only the Sunnis because they benefit from oil wealth but finally gone like a dirt. All dictators will disappear like a donkey fart not to be remember forever.

Hi Kidist Ashagre and the rest Melesoch! Here, on Mars, we need people like you. Because you've six senses to understand things around you. There, on earth you're not wanted. Come here!Come here! Tell us how we are developed. Please, leave those five sensed people in peace and you also get peace here. From Mars

He is the one to be remembered for his vitriolic and poisonous agitations against the people he purports he represented and fought for. This snake in the grass really owes a lot of apologies to the Ethiopian people.

Who would forget how this ignominious and dark character incited Ethiopian Somalis and some radical Oromo elements against the Amhara? Who would forget those thousands of Ethiopians that were burned alive in Arba Gugu, decapitated and some thrown alive to wild animals because of his sinister and demonic agitations and incitation against innocent Amharas?

Using the word forgiveness for such a callous monster would be a hollow mockery of the word itself. If he served 12 years for violating his trust as a cat's paw, more justice would await him down the road for the genocide that he instigated and for the crimes he committed against humanity. I don't have any doubt in my mind that his motives and crimes are tantamount to Theonesete Bagosora of Rwanda who is sentenced life sentence for his role in the Rwandan genocide lately.

The Agazzi Tribal Council is going to release Teddy Afro soon. The political game plan is to release these high profile convicts to hoodwink their western benefactors into believing that the Junta has some redeemable qualities.

The 2010 elections are fast approaching and these down payments comes handy when the harassment, imprisonment and killing of their opponents starts in earnest soon. The Agazzi's do not do things out compassion or because out of respect of the rule of law or justice. There is an evil plot always, if you read between the lines.

Our comrade, Tamrat Layne, should come to the US in a grand tour. He has to tow the official line to bring Assab back to the motherland and drive the Eritreans into the Red Sea.

The celebration would begin and voila we would have a new hero and messiah of ours sooner than later. Amen to that.

Its really nice to hear this news. I hope He will have happy time with his daughters.

More over, it will be a lesson to everyone of us.

Have you heared about the KINIJIT's. I read an article on their meeting (on Ethiopiafirst) they are starting to crack and Prof. Mesfin is washing his hands and Dr. Yakob is leaving the party and Mrs. Birtukan said that the people in the party undermined her and then she left the meeting. In related news the U S ambasssador in Ethiopia Mr. Yamamato said ''the party could not lead a foot ball team let alone Ethiopia'' should I start to admire Meles Zenawi?

The Admin at Nazret, I wish you could link the article so that I can see how people react.

one ethiopia.

am happy zat zis man is really freed from jail regardless of wat he did cos he isnot jailed for wat he did but couldnt follow the instructions of meles nd his allies.one thing i still apreciate is he let zis man free unlike wat dectators in eritrea are doing.never bn nice to their own ppl, to their neighbour nd not smart diplomats.

I was totally taken and absolutely delighted by the news. Needless to say It has been a travesty of justice and I am dying to know what good behavior he had displayed for his tempered sentence.

I guess politics like marriage is a very delicate balance. You can't walk away without paying a price no matter how fair you play the game.

I have tried to look back and ponder on their legacy. It has sent a chills on my spine. How many of us have become desensitized with such an accusation and alleged crime. There is no way of knowing the truth except from one side, the so called due process.

I just simply say may the almighty God deliver us from ignorance and put us back on track where we should be like any of your children.

he looklike someone just come out of merekato ketefo bete.may be he needs to go back to the big house for afew more days biiiiich to find out what isreal be gooing on mr convect.

Koko,

It's exactly as you put it. Here is his video after he was released: Full Report - Tamerat Laynea Released

tamerat (hodddame) melese addis arada let them have the the time of there life .

good for him it just showes that no one is above the law and for all of you saying that meles did this or meles did that Meles did not do anything but good stuff...Ethiopians tend to blame The president or the PM for every little thing...if you live in the USA, if a police killed a civilian you don't go blaming Bush or the government you blame the person that killed the civilian and you ask for justice for the police to go through trial and proof him self that he did it for a good reason and if not he should pay for the Crime so all of you dumb ass people stop blaming Meles for Everything...if you have something against anything, you should go against the person who did it and not someone ealse cuz that don't make anysense but only showes how stupid people can be

Who cares if this scum is released from prison or not. He is a triator just like the rest of them. Besides, who knows if he was release prior to the 2010 election under angreement to serve as a loyal opposition to dissive the people of Ethiopia and add five more years to the brutal regime just like Birtukan and Birhanu did in 2005.

corruption is the core of this Government. If there anybody who doubt that he/she must be a fool. Can somebody explain to me how all these EPRDF officials have multiple houses, millions of birr in the bank and houses overseas on a Government salary? You can be EPRDF supporter if you want to but DO NOT try to deny the EPRDF Government is swallowed by corruption from head to toe.

Better news would be Teddy Afro was released, who cares about this old warlord, im sure he will start again what he did during those days, old habits are hard to die.

I know when i was in diredawa no one killed him there.

Good for him and his family but nothing for our contry,
He is one of the contributer to Professor Asrat's death. We Amhara won't forget this.

Kidist and Tola just shut the hell up............ anchi shele.... ante degmo akatarie.... just Zip it. Tamrat he deserve it ... 12 years in weyanne's prison he got to kidding.... I am so happy to to restless his younger sister... and the rest of the family.
vote now !!!

This is very good new for his family, friends and Ethiopia/ns. Despite, the charges he had faced, 12yrs prison term is very long time and painful one. I am please to see the government pardon this man and I hope more will follow him. We need peace and love in our country not hatred and over crowded jails! I have always stood against the punishment he relieved and some in this forum argued with me stating he deserved it…you know who you are and I don’t need to state your name here since you had since changed your using name(s. My peace be with him and his family…
Z-Mike

ETHIOPIA TIKDEM

Everytime when TPLF gangsters releas someone another man is going to prison. So the question is who will be that person?

Meles And His Wife Stolen Money From
Poor Ethiopian People Since They Tooke Poor. All Tplf Brutal Grow Up
They Are corrupted individuals They Are Deserves to go hill.
All Ethiopian We Need Stand up Unity
And kick Meles And The Mafia Grow Up.

God Help Our Poor Nation.

"He is the one to be remembered for his vitriolic and poisonous agitations against the people he purports he represented and fought for. This snake in the grass really owes a lot of apologies to the Ethiopian people"
Dear Mesfin from Maryland,...You said that well.Onething I am not sad about those Woyane HODAMS is even if we forgive them,the almighty GOD will punish them in his Kingdom.If Tamirat released from preson that will be only from Meles's punishment.The greatest heat will burn him later.
So my friend do not wait any appology from those who socked with innocent poor Ethiopians.You will see how the Master evil Meles will die.He will go with his own hand shoot,like the Dergue Ali Mussa did it without conffesing his Sins for the good forgiver GOD.
Take care

Lekim and other puppets of Evil,

. . . the smart evil put the loads to this "shock absorver" man and he made his organized mafia and looting team to continue to loot and robbed our poor people treasures. . .while the evil enjoyed his endless corruptions, this man suffered for what evildeeds by real LOOTERS!!!!


Ra'Oeil ራዕይ!!! Glad to hear you again here!!!
Cheers!!!

The Main enemy of ethiopia is not Meles, but the Adwa cadres who protect him to stay in power inorder to harm ethiopia. Had the those triator cadres abandon him, he would not have a chance to stay in power, the tigrian will cut his head the way he cut ethiopia. Meles is the Most hated in tigrai more than even Mengustu. The most scarest place to for Meles is tigrai. 99.9% of tigrai people hate him, including the Adwa ordinary people. The only people who support him is a few half cast (Dikaloch) and a handful of Adwa cadres who intermarried with the half casts. The same is true some Amhara who sold their sol for ye menz teff and Beg. The Tigrai people can't wait to bring back not Assab or cancell the Algeris treaty but the whol Red Sea. This is ablolute true to any tigreans including all the fighters now.

Sawa:

good question. answer is - Teddy Afro.

I just read all comment i find out nothing pelase think about good and pray for thous people what they did our people and our beuttful country kiling and put ensent people in the jaile me always i do pray for this evil people to stay away emama Ethiopia

Tamrat does deserve no sympathy. Here is a man who was a rebel along with Meles, and after seizure of power, went down with corruption as quickly as he came. His short-lived power lives on as shameful. He has no future as far as public office is concerned. Tamrat is like those tens of thousands of EPRP foot soldiers who were deceived, misled and left Tarik Yelesh and dead. What do we learn from Tamrat and those fall-for-nothing EPRPs, or for that matter, Tilahun Gizaw, Mengistu Newaye, Belay Zeleke...? The answer is never abandon the ways of your father's Akuri Tarik in favor of the unknown - do not lend your ears to Diabilos. In the meantime, lets hope that this is the last amnesty that Prime Minister Meles W. Zenawi has granted before he stepped down from office.

He looks very handsome compared to the midget, but, I don't see any significant difference if he had the opportunity of being as powerful as Meles as power corrupts all. He was so abusive and insulting to those lining up to go to Mecca early in his prime ministrial power and became rich along with his families. Who cares for Ethiopia and ORDINARY Ethiopians? So far nobody. And I don't care if he languishes in prison until death or Meles is hanged tonight. They are different sides of the same coin. Their argument is about personal power and attention than the concerns of Ethiopia and Ethiopians.

One of the best expressive labels to come out of Mengistu era was "YeTarik Atela" or loosely translated, sludge of history. No one knows how many YeTarik Atelas each generation vomits but Tamerat Layne was sure one from his generation. Being a rebel certainly put you on a path to YeTarik Atelanet. For example, the foreign minister of Eritrea was humiliated in Canada because of his rebellious past.
Ethiopia is like the big ship, Noah's Ark so to speak, whose history is recorded from long ago on a mission to reach a destiny. With the right captain she would go the distance far and smooth. Tamrat Layne is a just an assistance to a mutinous high jackers who slam the ship at every coast subjecting the ship to untold abuses.

This Monkey called Meles is really badly a samrt leader...he knows how to catch ppl's attention.see peeps now all ethiopian ppl start thinking about Tamerat Layne rather than the poor Teddy Afro...what a smart move

i read all these comments , i think it is for good thes all happend.please let us think at least twice ,we know these people did a lot for these innocent people but GOD will pay them accordingly and may God bless them to do good for these "miskin people".I hope all are leba but.....
i affraid Tamirat also go for another party and make the current situation more worest.please leave this holly place and people alone.

He is good for nothing. It would have been much better for him to stay the rest of his life in jail because he really is a confused person.
I do remember when he showed up in ETV in 1994 when he welcomed Esayas at Bole airport, somebody who is happy to revoke the ethiopian people !
Shame on you.

All TPLF gungs need to bee hung for
the crime what they have done.Includig Shek Alamudin.

Ahiya beraget tiris ayisaberim!!
Corruption is Neftegnas culture! in their blood. you can guess the only way to abolish corruption....

Mr. Tamerat Layne,

I chose for you this 1929 Great Cuban Song, "GUANTANAMERA" the version by The Sandpipers including its lyrics for your happy homecoming. Enjoy!

Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crecen las palmas
Yo soy un hombre sincero

Y antes de morirme quiero
Echar mis versos del alma

Chorus:

I am a truthful man from this land of palm trees
Before dying I want to share these poems of my soul
My verses are light green
But they are also flaming red

(the next verse says,)
I cultivate a rose in June and in January
For the sincere friend who gives me his hand
And for the cruel one who would tear out this
heart with which I live
I do not cultivate thistles nor nettles
I cultivate a white rose

Cultivo la rosa blanca
En junio como en enero
Qultivo la rosa blanca
En junio como en enero
Para el amigo sincero
Que me da su mano franca

Chorus:
Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera

Y para el cruel que me arranca
El corazon con que vivo
Y para el cruel que me arranca
El corazon con que vivo
Cardo ni ortiga cultivo
Cultivo la rosa blanca

Chorus:

What can I say, in our culture if some one is released from prison we go and say enkuan kebetesebochih gar lemegenagnet abekah. Thats a habesha way of welcoming some one who got released from prison.

Tamrat Layne did contribute a lot during the armed struggle to oust the Dergue. He will be remembered as a hero of the EPRDF and as a person who spend 12 years of his life in prison because of corruption charges. I will leave the rest to historians, was the charge politically motivated or not? I would keep my opinion to myself as I don have evidence.

Anyway, he is released from prison and has done his time for the crime he was convicted. Now he is a free person and wish him all the best and sucess in whatever he wants to do in his life.

Some critics, just come and behave crazy, they criticise and bite anyone on their way like a mad dog. The EPRDF's government has done a lo t, the decission to release Tamrat layne earlier than his sentence on grounds of good behaviour is good. Hope he will not behave like the others who started to demonise the EPRDF after being released, anyway, the EPRDF will do what ever it thinks is right. decissions arent made to annoy or appease some one. They are taken to strengthen the system and improve situations.

Individuals will come and go, but the EPRDF will stay, we have seen top officials being detained, killed, and expelled. the same trend will continue but EPRDF will prevail.

Poor Tamirat you started and acted as brave as a lion and ended up as useless as a checolate pie.If you have enough time and energy,please share your 12 years experience for this mad dog sheik
Al amoudi-he might need it seriously.

I AM PROUD OF MY PM AND PARTY
LONG LIVE TGRAY PEOPLE

Cherkos,
You are DOMA RAS.

I am so glad that Mr.Tamerat Layne has released after his long ordeal. He is an Ethiopian hero who had fought the facist Dergue to bring democracy in our country. This kind of punishement should have been for the disposable Kinijit gangs, not for Tamerat in my book. I don't forget what he did but that was not enough to put him in jail that much years. Should have given some sort of credit at least what he did to his country but it wasn't the case. Anyways, happy to be his out of jail now. Yeha

All higher officials in Ethiopia are the victims of corruption. I have worked in EFFORT one time, I know it is not audited after all and went to the higher officials pocket, all the profits. So We Ethiopians should strive the Meles regime to be changed once and for all for the sake of the poor and starving Ethiopians.

Do you know how many innocent amhara ppl died b/c of him. Try to read Baby's comment, he write every thing about Tamrat. It is not a surprise for the ethiopian ppl, he have a blood on his hand not suger.

Lekami ,you are talking as a specialist of looting .Of course this guy deserved to be punished for the crimes he comitted against the poor peoples ;by the way you willingessly forget to mention your own tribal mafiosis with whom this guy worked closly hands in hands ,starting by your leba master Zenawi .Afterall TPLF and his Aderby Bandas are a bunch of parasites surviving on a clientelism system based on the looting of the goods belonging to the nation and his peoples .Including you the TPLF thugs enjoying of the subsides that your leba master is sending for you. You are here just fooling yourself ,ignorant DELALA BANDA .Lady Tchenawite ,when you talked about the tolerance of your leba master do you mean the killing of inocent peoples , the mass murdering and genocide crimes comitted by this evil guy !!!Once again shut your eagly mouth full a tribal hates Tchinkelatebis ,keletam BANDA !!!!

MELES's CORRUPT REGIME FALLING APART

Tamerat Layne, the former Prime Minister of Ethiopia (1991 & 1994) and Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister, until he was sacked in 1997, was convicted of corruption and abuse of power. He was found guilty in February 2000 and sentenced to 18 years on charges of corruption.

When the ex-Prime Minster Tamerat Layne was disgraced from the highest political office, was he the only corrupt official in Meles's government? Far from it! His sentence was supposed to be a warning for other "corrupt" officials in the country. If his punishment was meant to deter corruption in high public offices, it did not. In fact, over 3 million pounds worth of property is left in London for Tamerat Layne for his long-term investment. Indeed, public office has become a means of getting rich quickly. The extent of wide spread corruption is well known. Unfortunately, the extent of the destruction it has done in the Ethiopian society is hard to quantify, except to say that it is immensely damaging for the development of our country.

Why is there corruption? Some times traditional practices [family ties, friendship, ethnic origin, etc.] are carried over to modern bureaucracy. In other cases, it is direct fraud such as false claims, or a simple weak administration that is unable to control, or a poor accountability. In short, holders of public office (are the main culprit) i.e., their official capacity allows them to bend the normal expected use of strict accountability, and efficiency to distort their decision making and fraudulent action. In any case, corruption introduces discrimination and arbitrariness in decision making so the rules, regulations and procedures become unimportant. "In the extreme cases decision making is not only transformed to the corrupters but it is totally hijacked, and arrogated to the corrupters. Where countries are concerned sovereignty is completely surrendered, as in the case of Ethiopia. Any corrupt politician will sell the country for the highest bidder, be it to a multi-national or an individual. As much as there is economic corruption, there is political corruption. While others are running to sell anything the country has, Meles sold out the sovereignty of Ethiopia for his personal political greed. In any case we oppose these twine vices.


To combat corruption, a commitment is needed at the top. Not the vindictive measures of Meles but a comprehensive and whole-hearted struggle against corruption. The current government under Meles is not only reluctant to fight corruption but has been unable to figure out the head and tail of corruption. In 1994, a document on fighting corruption was submitted to the Prime Minster's Office. Ever since, Meles has been sitting on such a document knowingly, for fear of retribution from the law (if at all there is one). This shows there is no willingness or intention from the government to combat corruption. On the other hand, who, among them, can wash his hands clean from corruption? The development of a coherent and holistic strategy involves a clear commitment by political leaders to combat corruption wherever it occurs. Since this includes submitting each one of them to scrutiny, Meles is shy to such commitment. In front of his nose, Meles is seeing corruption flourishing immensely. Right under his armpit, he can see people (family and friends inclusive) abusing power and getting rich over night. At times, publicly defending them, (Like what he did in the case of Sebhate, Arkebe the notorious fraudsters).

Meles's Ministers and powerful officials are entangled in a web of corruption. In this article, we will take few episodes that explain the magnitude and extent of corruption in Ethiopia. This, of course is a tip of the iceberg. At the lower level, the traffic warden is accused of obstructing the flow of traffic. At the higher level, millions of US$ is transferred everyday from public purse to private accounts. When Shiek Ali Amoudi bought Pepsi Cola, how much millions did he save by giving a small fortune to the right person?

Star Business Group: This is another miraculously booming business. This is a multi billion and multi pronged business that is flourishing from year to year. When the EPRDF came to power, the owners of Star Business group were merely, ordinary taxi drivers. The owners, Ato Muneyelet, Ato Abebaw & Co. were a decade a ago ordinary people. Today Star Business Group is a multi-billion operating business. One may ask, did they hit the jackpot? It seems they were lucky to get the right persons of the TPLF. They are some how affiliated to Arkebe, Sebhate, Tedros Hagos, etc. They do get US$100's of millions of credit from the Banks. They are so sure that they have controlled the banks that they can call the Bank to order millions of Eth Bir to friends and family without being collateral to any body. There are a number of evidences to support these allegations.

Weizero Yeshi Zewdie: She is a very talented woman who was trained in sex espionage by the previous regime under the supervision of the KGB, to infiltrate unsuspecting political opponents and for counter-espionage purposes. When the Derg regime collapsed in May 1991, she used her talents for personal enrichment. Her talent and training of influencing higher officials by any means was applied for the new bureaucrats of the EPRDF/TPLF. When the EPRDF came to power, officials of the TPLF became her game objects. She was /is 100% successful. Arkebe, Sebhate, Yemane Kidane (Jamaica), Kenfe gebre Medhin, Tedros Hagos, and many others became constant visitors of Weizero Yeshi Zewdie's brattle of sex and alcohol orgies. Weizero Yeshi's residence became the final destination of many powerful figures as a pick-up point of high class prostitutes, which she was always ready to offer on a platter. When Weizero Yeshi entertained these and other TPLF/EPRDF Officials to the best of her capacity in fulfilling all varieties of their obsessions, she was rewarded with corrupt business dealings, favours were exchanged, and not surprisingly Weizero Yeshi became notoriously rich.

Sebhate Nega, the past master of corruption is above the law and untouchable. While Officials like Ato Haile Asegedia, head of Construction, who also became head of Fuel Distribution during the last Ethio-Eritrea war, are immersed in corruption until their nose. As head of Fuel Distribution during the war, when the entire Ethiopian people were hand in glove fighting the enemy to ascertain the sovereignty of Ethiopia, the unscrupulous Officials like Ato Haile Asegedia, Arkebe and others were profiting while the war was ragging. However, Ato Haile Asgedia's main kickback comes from foreign construction companies setting their feet in Ethiopia. Therefore, it is easier to deposit the bribe in foreign currency and safe from being traced at when the bad time comes.

Arkebe Equbai, the veteran Central Committee (CC) member of the TPLF was disgraced twice for being corrupt but not properly punished for his accepted crimes. Due to lenient punishment, he bounced back to higher Office, twice, because he is affiliated to those in power and position. In short, he is married to Berhane Gebre Cristos's sister [Berhane G. Christos is a loyal servant of Seyum and Meles Zenawi]. Thus, because of his influence and money, Arkebe easily came back to power and prominence.

When Arkebe was the head of Mesfin Engineering, a TPLF company, he sold over two hundred tracks to Weizero Yeshi Zewdie & Co. at a reduced price. One may say there nothing wrong in selling hundreds of tracks to a single person! However, he also facilitated in arranging Bank credit to buy the tracks from Mesfin Engineering. Still one would say, so what? The irony is that, Arekebe, earns double kickback from selling tracks and from arranging the credit facilities to Weizero Yeshi. We are not sure how much money Wiezero Yeshi gave to Arkebe. It is said a lot of money was [siphoned]. We recently met a person who informed us that he through a third person deposited $100,000 in one of Arekeb's bank account in London (nothing to do with the previous theft). Today, Weizero Yeshi Zewdie has become the owner of flotilla (over two hundred of them) of tracks, runs a multi million-dollar construction business, and she is a proud owner of high rising buildings, and a number of factories.


When the Wogagen Bank was set up, Prime Minister Meles was advised on the criminal background of the partners that were signing with the TPLF/EPRDF. It was an open secret that the partners of Wogagen were drug dealers, contrabandists, pushers, racketeers, in general people who made their money through criminal activities. Meles Zenawi was informed of the background of these partners. However, he chose to pursue business with such criminals as if they were decent citizens.



In April 2001, General Samora Yunis (now Chief of Staff) gave a frank admission on what the TPLF/EPRDF is. Concerning the overwhelming nature of corruption, the ignoramus General divulged the extent of corruption in the country and he said that most of the TPLF leaders are involved in corruption. To our astonishment, he said it is the degree of how much millions TPLF officials take and not whether we have taken or not. He accepted saying, "From a ten million Birr that was given to two of us (Samora did not state who his partner in crime is), our disagreement is that I got 4 million and the other got 6 million." The other blatant exposition was according to General Samora, "The TPLF had been summarily executing, it summarily executes today and it will summarily execute for the near future." He said it is an accepted norm of activity in the TPLF and that he is proud of it. According to the normal practice of the TPLF, "The expelled TPLF leaders should have been by now executed". In a way, he is saying they are lucky they have survived so far. This rings the bell of how Tekelu Hawaz and others were executed by Meles's/TPLF authorization. Read more...

ALERT ALERT ALERT
I have a valauble info from a reliable source, which i found it interesting and worth sharing it with u guys, about woyne’s well sought plot to destruct ANDINET: the peaceful wing of our struggle . According to my source the main culprit of this dreadful plan is THE SHEIK, SAMSON MAMO(Ethiochannel) and EthiopiaFirst(better know as ALAHMUDINFIRST) and of course the crime boss meles naziawi/kezenawi/seytanawi.

So the plan is,
1) to creat an air of mistrUst and confusion among members of Andinet and the masse by dissiminating purely fabricated lies about Andinet’s internal affair. Ethiochannel is the tube through which these anti-andenet propogandas will be dispatched to those in ethiopia, while ALAHMUDINFIRST, will do exactly the same in the diaspora(i wonder how many “diaspora” would ever visit this creepy website anyway?).

2) To buy as many ANDINET key members as possible by offering irresistable money and promise to a key position in a would be splinter party (the carbon copy of the KEHEDETU AYALEW experiment??????).

In return this immensely corrupt criminal group will be given the green light, by the crime boss, to do whatever they want in return for their invaluable job, i.e, destructing ANDINET.

So guys, never taken by surprise if u see someone leaving ANDINET and join the crime family or a series smear campaign against the party in the coming few weeks.

WEDI TIGRAY,
Who is your president in Tigrai??
ALEKA !!!

Even he is not qualified to be a real prist(Kes). How on earth is over 5 million people rule or administor by one illutrate Aleka in the 21st century? During the Derg rule, the Tigray president was one of the finest economist PHD or Dr. who trained in abroad. The problem we have in tigray is people like who sold their father front yard for their own immediate profit. If you were true Wedi Tigra, you could not support the Eritrean agent who sold your pride ancestorial land and planted the Egyption bombs in Adwa farming lands and being destroyed the inocent farmers and cattles. If Meles was from Adwa, why all the himiliation to the mainly the Adwa people driven from Eritrea did not take any action to prevent from shumeful act happend by Shaebia? Wedi Tigrai why you are supporting SULTAN IBRAHIM Meles who sold your Identity? Do you know what TIGRAY mean? It means someone who do not compromise for anything when it comes to country and defend against people like Meles Zenawi AGER SHEAT. Wedi Tigray you must be one of the ADWA cadre Meshayeti Adi (a mideator to sale ethiopia). I am a true tigrian and proud of to be a tigrian but I do not support to someone who is selling my identity. Wedi Tigray, can tell us when was the last time Meles Zenawi went to tigrai outside Mekelle and had a talk with the ordinary people? Even when he comes Mekelle he had to send comandos to invide the city a week before his arrival and orders people to stay home until he finish how he can help to the Eritrean masters. Mengstu used to come to Mekelle with out hundreds of comandos and a show. Atse Haleslasie drive throuth all tiray roots with out comandos. Can you tell us What Nega Sebhat has don for the last 17 years?? Ethiopia is feeding him like the Melilik horse in Enteto. The only thing he has done is spreading AIDS to the innosent girls around Mekelle for 17 years.

yo man let the go and i will be the next ethiopian dictetor but i need ethio gurl man will take her home lol dawg all yo do not yup yup on wall no more do good things and get alot of ethiop gurl.

I think what we need right now is politically impartial Ethiopian Central Intel Unit, like America's cia, home to citizens whose religion is Ethiopia. Numerous Civil societies, political parties, armed groups and more blah blahs have failed to do us any good in the past 50 or so years, and there is no any good reason to believe that things will be any different at least in the coming near future. We should have a strong secret service unit that can take matters into its own hands to protect the country from corrupted and mercenary individuals who are willing to undermine the state's sovereignty for money and power.

good job ethiopia, good news. let love, peace, unity and indurancy to ethiopia as well as to the whole world.

I thought this pig was left to rot in prison! This shameless banda should get all his limbs cut. No idea what the hell midget Zenawi is thinking but this augurs ill for the future, even for him...first Siye (who by the way is a better man) and now this bald headed AWRE! ይድፋህ:ዶማራስ!

Tammy congra! you free now go to sudan and arm your self! becareful this time stay out of sukar! sweet)
b/c that what hapeen when the sugar is too sweet!

Tamirat , do you remeber what you saied
Dere dawa and Asmara about Amhara , you gat to serve life sentence or death for your ignorance behaviour. You are one of the responsible guy for the situation what Ethiopia is now and I can remind you your speach about Abay in Egypt too. 100 times death for you.

This all drama is happening on somebody elses backyard. Unless they sit back and think how to get out of Oromo land I guarantee you that Meles Zenawi will face the same thing or worse Thank you

Sew bertu demet tenkara!!! Time passes
so fast. Happy for Tamerat that he is
finally released. I don't think there
is some highly ranked officials without
corruption. Weye Ethiopia what kind of
luck we have?! May God intervene and
bring remedy for this country!!

I have a feeling that mr Line had a pro issayas Afewerki atitude. Keep an eye on the banda.

surprised by Meles wife's comment ''we don't have a single penny, we are using our salary wisely''....you see what an ordinary bar lady's comment committing looting all the money and power found in the country. I suspect that they will create a great mess in Ethiopia, so we should pray. And happy to hear Tamrat is finally released from Satan's cage. May you lead peaceful life with your families for the rest of your life!!

Thanks, challenger for sharing the info. The report by Wolde S. Asfaw is very informative. It is nauseating to say the least that our beloved country is being run by a bunch of hoodlums. What a great shame that so many are dying everyday for a lack of piece of bread and water and these organized criminals are robbing our country. One has to be totally retarded or simply foolish to support these courier criminals. It is really SAD and maddening indeed. How long is this going to go on? Where are our Ethiopian Jegnas? DEATH TO ALL WOYANNES and their ring master leader MELES!!

shame on kidis ashagre and abul. kidist seems lady serving interests of shameful tplf leaders wheras abul seems Amhara living in the medevial period. i do not need to present long arguement with people like these, hodamochi in geez

First of all people like tamirat layne and fascist meles zanawe are not politician. They are here only to comate genocide against amhara. What make me so mad people like tamirat layne so called amhara joining fascist meles zanawe to comate genocide against his on people. I am not surprise about fascist meles he will do anything to kill the amhara since he has so much hate towered us. As little kid when fascist meles zanawe asked what he like to do when he group his answer was “when I group I will kill the amhara” no surprise here because fascist meles zanawe brainwashed by his hate full family. There is no cure for hate. So fascist meles zanawe and his supporters will never stop hating the amhara people till they got their exit visa from this world. I hope you know what I mean.

i meant to say when he (grow up) not (group)

Ethiopia,is better off today,then your uncle's day.The parasites like you, are still crying the Ethiopian bloods they used to suck for the many years.The damn dogs like you,shouldn't talk about the past,the ugly and the dark days of Ethiopia.Because,you're stupid and a narrow minded, if you that still dare publicly to remind the pressed Ethiopians their past wounds by your clan leaders.If Tamarat,released after he served his jail years,i think he is modern man unlike your kinjet lords.Now,Tamirat lyane has many choices of either that,he could go back to the politics or he could live as normal other citizens in the country.But,I am not expecting from Tamrat,that he will join Kinijit and that will brag foolishly from Washington DC.Instead, if he willing to go back in politics,will stay in the country and hope will work for the unity of Ethiopia.

Nevertheless,let me remind you this,this new Ethiopia will going back to her darkness days but it will go forward with the powers (Hailes)of the mass majority Ethiopians.Also this woyane regime,whom you are crying for are 100% better than your fascist oppressor leaders and the majority Ethiopian ethnics are better off compared to their past.Yes,and that I agree with many critic ppls,that Meles regime is not the perfect and made many mistakes.But,believe me,that the woyane made Ethiopia for all Ethiopians and that every ethnic are to day manging their local affairs.No more dominations of your ethnic personals.So,be open minded peoples and lets share equally of this great country of Ethiopia.For your stupidity,we lost yesterday our brothers of Eritrea and the ports of the country.So,we don't need to loose more and that we can't afford to loose of your stupidity and backwardness.Cry and waitt as they coming back like Jusus.

Ethiopia is for all Ethiopians,so please don't be from the train.ahahah

Ogadenson,
Your comment is excellent and true about the situation in Ethiopia. I believe article 39 in the constition and will keep us afraid and respect each other in ethiopia because of article 39. I do not agree with Meles about the policy and atitude towards Eritrea. Eritrea is part of Ethiopia and should remain with ethiopia. Issayas said MAN made history, while ethiopia will make another history by taking it by the means Issays took eritrea for a while. If it is Ok for Issayas to fight and grab a land, ethiopia will fight him and retake the land he took by force. Just apply the same logic what Issayas applied. The other mistake Meles made was the National language should have been English after 15 years from the day they took power. The new generation should have been tought english for all ethiopians as official language and maintain their own native language in their respective tribes in ethiopia. Amharic is just one tribale language as the rest of them. Myself, I do respect all language and culture in ethiopia and all of us should respct them as we love our native languages.

Amhara people are still blind about the situation in ethiopia people, you can not have the way used to be and disrespect other language and culture and spread your own language. How do you feel any leader comes and say we want Oromo or tigrigna or other language be an official language of ethiopia and force Amhara people to learn oromao or tigrigna with out your consent??

Amharic language is for the amhara people only, not any other ethiopians. If anyone of the ethiopian tribe tries to deminate others, ethiopia will break in to peaces and will be the dream come true for all Arab countries or all ethiopians love their own tribe and respct others, then ethiopia will live with unity and peacefull developing country.

t is very late to understand one of the gravest mistakes/limitations of Communism after 54 years. But still, “better late than never”. I wish the remnants of EPRP and other left wing individuals here in the diaspora as well as in Ethiopia ultimately were to believe in God like Tamrat.

Here in the US, the Senate, the Congress, and the Supreme Court Judges do not formally begin their duty without having a mass or prayer, and request God to help them render Justice. They do this each year in January, at the beginning of a new year. The legislature, executive and judiciary of the 50 States and that of the District of Columbia do the same thing.

For the last three decades, Ethiopia was formally an atheist country. They say, “God loves Ethiopia”. But I do not think so!

See "the beacon of light" - Barack Obama - with his praying group athttp://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k167/ngomazworld/ObamaPrayerCircle.jpg.

Who gives a shit abouot Tamerat and Seye. Both were thives who conspird with the woyane government to dismantel Ethiopia and spread their message of hatred among Ethiopians. When the woyane thieve government did not agree with them on how to split the loot, both were sent to prison. Let them rotten in jail and free Teddy Afro. Free Teddy Afro!

The Article is about Tamrat layne.But it is talken about meles.
It looks like a lot of Eritreans are surfing Ethioian website.
NO war NO peace is a remedy for you.

Before he fades away, there remain more questions about Mr. Tamrat Layne and the hidden millions of embazzled money and his incindiary speeches he alledgedly made that resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent Ethiopians.

If he is an Agaw and probably hateful one, as Baby pointed out above, then he is an incarnation of that fascist jewish wicked woman named Yodit Gudit who burned to death 400 princes in an overnight onslaught. History, as Karl Marx said, repeats itself first as tradegy and the second time as farce, so goes the suspicion that multitude of the current occupiers of the government from Azeb Mesfin, the prime ministers wife, to scores of others everywhere, might fall in that catagory.

Tamrat Layne's smiling face is very deceitful; his calculating politician-like talk no less misleading. There are thousands of Tamrat Laynes who have infiltrated and are choking our lives who are arrays of heartache of the times. What is troublking is that he looks and sounds like the rest of us. The multitude of young current leaders are the Egyptian princes to which Ethiopia raises her hands, however weakly, in response.
Egypt symbolizes limitation, getting old, exile, oppression and curse.

Nice positings by Baby, Mesfin, Free, Hann, Challenger, Halafi and many more.

Congratulation Tamirat and all of the family. no body is perfect everybody can do a mistake but Tamirat you are so loved with great personality and it looks a Jail or can say evil, but you achived the life there, because you receve Jesus as the only savior that was God's objective upon your life to come to the savior and leave the world for those who love politics,
Jail was the only way for you to come to the LORD. I will say again you are choisen man of God not poltican and so forget about the past and preach the gosple to the world and let people know how great is the Lord anyone who read this i have good news for you Jesus loves you, even if you don`t love him but he will forever, and i encurage you to forget bleming others and come back to your savior and he is the only Truth,way and Life nothing else could save you from dath just him and make sure you have him.

Thanks

WHY DONT YOU GUYS LEAVE AS A LONE
PLEASE
WHY ARE YOU OPENING YOUR BIG MOUTH?
I KNOW YOU ,YOU ARE ALL WAYS AT ASMERA RESTURANT TALKING ALL BULL SHIT

Are you guys doing some fixations in my comments? I was not that high when I was writing my last comments.C'mon guys don't cut some later or foals to distaste the comments or to distract the objectives of the commentators.Please,lets be free to our opinions.

Thank you guys and happy holly days.
Wish you for the best.See you of 2009.

Halafi Mengedi,


I here you man,but the deaf people,like Kinjini group never want to hear and still keep dreaming their past days are coming very soon.They didn't understand yet of where Ethiopia is heading today.As i am predicting very soon,Ethiopia is either that reaching her destiny of the true democracy and prosperity,or that as you said it in your above comments,it will breaks in to smaller pieces, which then follow as Eritrea,Tigray,Ogaden Ahmara etc.Unless that Meles became THE NEW MODERN KING of Ethiopia and try to hold the country by force for the next few decades.Of course,the Oromos are the back born & that always,will remain that,the last and the base of Ethiopia,whether that they want keep it or changed the name of Ethiopia,but ormos will be the last staying Ethiopians.The rest might defecting from them,but not the Ormos that defecting,FROM who to defect the oromos? Referring here,to the separatist groups of Oromos.Are you separating from Ogaden,Afars,Amara and Tigray? and where to go then? Don't be cowards like Issia who run way,instead of separating the country, who could rule the like a king the whole Ethiopia like Smart Meles who opted the Tigray to keep with her mother Ethiopia.For those of you behind and backward ppls,imagine that day of (1991) if,the TPLF join with Shabiya and separated,would you think that we're all talking here as 1 Ethiopia? Its one their brave credits,that they kept country's together.And I remember,those members of Kinjit were throwing their guns,hide the indoors and that were crossing the borders of all directions(NEWS)of the country and non of them looked back until they arrived at DC.But,today they are too loud and noisy to disunite us and that endangering the country once again.They're not criticizing Meles regime,but they are thrust blood suckers of the rest Ethiopians.Which is impossibles for them again,that to suck the Ethiopian blood and live like in the past days,but only a foolish dreams.here,i am referring that the Kinjit groups only and NOT that of their innocent citizens of their tribes.

However,if that peoples of Ethiopia understand of their grateful country and the beauty of her multicultural ethnicity,the mighty of her togetherness populous and that respect,protect the equality of all Ethiopians,its also for sure that Ethiopia will be the one of the most powerful and respectful countries in the world.

But,as I said it above on the above lines, all that mention,it depends on us(all ethnics) and we have the choices.Remember,if one ethnic that felt disrespected of their ethiopwent or dominated by others,sooner or later we lost that ethnic.Which that is avoidable to be happen again,with simple things applying rules among all Ethiopians to understand,respect and to successes and reach our destiny.So,the lost brothers of Eritrea's' seeing that we the Ethiopians made such progressive and success developments with living in good democracy systems,definitely they will come back and that will join our federal systems of the united states of Ethiopia.

Happy holly day all.

Abdul, I am shocked by your comment. You are ignorant and stupid person. What is wrong on having a name like Togona Dechassa? You are backward idoit, and you think like a cave man. wakeup, we are in 21st century.I advice you to go to school to be civil.

Truth be Told [Visitor]

That is an interesting conspiracy theory you created in your head...what else???

I think youwatch too much movies and like to hear yourself too much...dude you need friends.

Each and every day the news in Ethiopia shows us the Evil works of Meles Zenawi the half Eritrean dictator. This midget monster accuses others of the same crimes he is guilty of in this case he accuses Tamirat lynee of corruption and we all know Meles Zenawi is the #1 corruption dictator and also Meles accuses others of murder for example Teddy afro and Kinijit leaders when in fact he is the one commiting such crimes. The day will come when Meles Zenawi faces justice.
Amen.

The greatest thing I am happy for Tamerat is that he now believes in Jesus Christ and ready to serve him. God forgives and accepts him as child any one who is ready to no matter who and no matter what he did. Tamerat is saved and he is now a child of God and whatever he did before is forgiven by God. My people don't be mistaken. He is now on the right truck and I hope and am sure that he will be a great man of God! May God bless him and he will be the reason for his family to get saved and be in Christ! Because no one will acuse the children of God!!!

He should stay away from politics because obviously he put our country in harms way including himself.

TPLF used him as a decoy to deceive Ethiopians into believing that Woyane was a collection of Ethiopians from various ethnic groups that represents us all.

After putting him in prison Meles turned around and grabbed the PM seat and got glued to it for 20 years and with it comes all the mother of corruptions, killings, imprisoning and brutalities.

Long idiot WADANI, We Eritreans are happy the way we are, no matter how many times you Ethiopian think and wish bad we are doing, we are happy and much much progressive. We wont be back at all, have u seen starving dieing baby's in Eritea?, you can't even when the world is in recession!! all the so called Eriteans that you see returning to ethiopia and bad mouthing us are third generation tigriayans.
