Yes , what was i told you folk! Weyannes are selling ethiopians kids with hard currency that is the only thing weyannes understand.
Women trafficing is run by weyannes top Wives and now they are Selling ORGANS to Arabs .....things that You Kuttarams do not know.

This is so sad, the goverment selling Ethiopian children to generate money. This never happened before.

We have to do something, we just talk and complain. Maybe we can start with petition to the GOE and adoption agencies in Ethiopia.

Poverty .... Poverty .....poverty
Who do we have to blame for ? I think nobody !
Jesus has said leave the kids for me , I will take care of them .
Now poverty has taking it's toll on the war torned country called Ethiopia . Oh my God take-care of your kids ! That is all I can say , I am so greedy I can not help . If god tells me to pay $30 a month to feed the children of Ethiopia , I will refuse,even if others want to help .

I thought it was just on sale of land, coffee,tchat, etc that woyane is amassing profit. It is most disheartening that these gangsterns are selling our young folks!

Shame on the Ethiopian government when outsiders get conserned while the government is watching silentely children being exported like commodities...

ADAPTION IN ETHIOPIA IS BECOMING FIRST CHOICE NOT LAST RESORT.

SHAME ON THE ETHIOPIAN GOVERNMENT.

The minority regime of secession continues to violate Ethiopia's sovereignty by selling off fertile Ethiopia and Ethiopian children.

We have chosen education as Our primary concern because we believe that it is the instrument by which Our aims could be brought to fruition."HIM

Weyane will sell anything including our children. This is what they have done since 1991. Sold Assab, Eritrea itself, part of Humera, Taytu Hotel, thousands of factories, millions of acres of land, and now poor orphans!

Even Italian Fascists did not sell babies! Shame on these traitors!!

oh god!! destroy Meles!! which is selling our sisters and brothers !! for their organs!!
and destroy those,organization who is calling ur name and stealing children from their mom!!

Damn even the somalis dont sell kids !!

The report said :"..Ethiopia has become a fertile ground for international adoptions. It’s estimated thirty children leave the country a week..."what a shame what the hell ,this evil regime is doing when children are sold like a piece of bread .

It took two decades for Ferejis to learn the real story about "adoption" from Ethiopia?.

nazret.com, where is the vidio? please post the vidio
Thanks

That answers my question as to why I saw all those adopred Ethiopian children on the plane that I boarder from Ethiopia to Washinon DC.

I knew it involves the goverment and mony. Meles sales his own mother as long as he gets the BIG $$$s

This is heartbreaking..I really don't have any words to describe my feelings but i can only say Shame on those agencies and the current government for not taking the appropriate measures to curb the illegal trading of Ethiopian children.

What is wrong with giving a child an option to live? Woregna abesha, menged lay tetilew andit kurash dabo latakaflu, just b/c the governmet makes money out of giving these kids an option,,,afachuhun atikfetu.

Be reasonable. Why shouldn't a hungry street kid be adopted? And unfortunately, we have hundreds of kids who really need this oportunity!

Meles would allow the sell of his own children. The man is ruthless. Watch out people, you better watch your language. This man the more you attach him he will disgrace even himself for the sake of revenge. Dont compete with a mad man when you are a bunch of nothing who can inflict nothing. You better be smart and remove this cancer systematically. Defaming him or attacking him verbally will get you ten folds revenge from the mad man. If you are mad and man enough do something about it. Stop talking cheap. Otherwise, you are worst that Meles himself. You have got the faggot shiek in Sheraton who is also arranging all kinds of selling for Meles so we got a handful. We better watch it and be smart about it than holding the tail of a tiger only to be devoured by it.

If you have ever wondered why the government has been at the very center of the human trafficking, this is your answer. It is quite understandable if citizens fled their country in places like lawless Somalia, but in Ethiopia where there is a relative peace and better condition to work and raise a family, mass exodus of all sorts including child exportation and exploitation can keep growing only if there is the full support of the regime on power. Trounced and bloodied by its own failed sociopolitical and economical policies, the regime has no option except to fully cooperate and involve in the mafia business of selling its own citizens instead of protecting. It is as if the country is invaded by nineteenth century european colonialists and slave traders where selling the weak and the unprotected such as children is encouraged by the rulers. There is no reason other than self interest for the politicians who have chosen either to turn a blind eye or directly involve in the human trafficking business that is flourishing at the heart of the country, Addis Ababa. Protecting ones own citizens never was expected from an unelected, illegitimate therefore dictatorial rulers.

Take a look at the following link that was provided by Shewarega in the other thread which shows how the dictators' children are living it while the vast majority of Ethiopians are struggling to survive and out-rightly getting sold for foreigners.

"The Mafia Family Spending the Money collected from the human trafficking and other illegal businesses."

NO LOVE, NO SOUL!
The only thing Wayane know is Crulity!Unhuman Nature of Wayaene is endless.

This beggar dictator and his crook associates are doing anything for money. They are selling children,land and you name it. They do not know the value of the human being because they used to live in the jungle like a beast.

A Child Welfare Agency estimated "international adoptions are generating revenue for the [Ethiopian] government of around one hundred million dollar a year, and the government is not showing no sign that it is going to jeopardise that income for the sake of children." No suprise here. This is the EPDRF I know. They sell everything and anything as long as they make money out of it. Ethiopians pushed out of their lands to make room for Arab investors. Addis is crowded with offices whose only transaction happen to be shipping out young Ethiopian women to be maid in Arab countries. Some of those who were shipped out resort to suicide to end their misery. By making opportunity non-existent striving to make a one party system a must, EPDRF caused thousands to flee Ethiopia even surpassing the Somalis that have not had a government for nearly twenty years. Ethiopians are accustomed living under a self-serving government. They choose to live there. In no times do Ethiopians become confused about their future as of now and escaping the prison that Ethiopia become they found it to be an only option. Read newspapers, magazines and check the Internet, and watch TV, Ethiopians misery is there for one who is able to read and watch. The most disturbing fact is this misery is there the world to see but EPDRF. Sometimes I read some western journalists who have nothing but wish Ethiopia strive to do its utmost become beliwerded by the lack of national feeling the government shows. I remember almost two years ago some British journalists imply perhaps controlling population growth is the only solution Ethiopia might have to avert famine. Meles came out swinging. I cannot qoute him verbatim, but I can pharaphrase. Meles says if the West worry about the help they give due to our population growth, they should not. But the West does not dictate about our population growth. It is not the West as a whole, and even it was not a single country that suggested abot 'controlling population growth." Some Biritish journalists suggested it, but Meles was livid. Now, I become to wonder is that a long term strategy EPDRF has to make the country famine prone so that the government is making advantage of it by being a distributor of the handout? I cannot rule any sinister motive for not being EPDRF's plan.

there is no new thing i coud see.adoptation does not mean exporting.there are many children in ethiopia who do not have parants and suffering from hunger.i want this childrens to go to foreigne countries and living better and getting education.instead of of suffering from death and hunger,adopting these children is is thw best option.wht is the problem? i will blame weyane if they do not allwed por cildren to be adopted.

Its a damn shame!!! When will somebody put a bullet in this bastards head? I hate this man and his cronies and I don't even live in Ethiopia!

Yirgachefe or Woyane (visitor )... You are conceived by an known sperm donor and you are the dictator's orphan.

Yirga,

I really try my best not to talk in negative to the bloggers in here, unless others do that to me first. But, I have to make an exception for you because you are probably the cruelest individual in here.

Let alone Weyzerit you are not even fit to be called Yetot. Have we done that all of the nuns from Waldeba, to Mahdere Mariam, to Debre Libanos will certainly hang themsleves, rather than seeing you hold that title.

But as I once told you, when that inevitable day comes, and your tower of babel collapses, you will certainly find yourself facing the barrel of your gun in your face. That I can assure you.

Slave trade was done the same way. This makes me sick. EPRDF should lose this election just because of this shame, shame, shame, shame, shame.

What type of effort is done to encourage parents to raise their children...

Honeatly i didn't know this was going on in our country Et. Kids who last thier parents ok to be adopted but the parents especially mothers who are giving thier mothers should go to jail. I don't know how much money they are getting but this is unacceptable they should work and raise thier own children. They think in couple of years will get tones of money.

i want to say it crystal-clear:ALL THOSE CHILDREN WILL NEVEREVER SEE THEIR HOMECOUNTRY ETHIOPIA AGAIN THE REST -OF-THEIR-LIFE!!!!!period.everybody who's naive to think abot their "bright future abroad "blah blah,fail.experience show us,that once the kids have left ethiopia,they'll be transformed into total aliens.nowadays,even koreans adopt kids from our country.didn't ya know,that the asian societies despised blacks like crazy?!and the west,we know already,what's going on there...not only that the kids will be alienated from their roots-even many become Bandas after years of permanent brainwashing(i witnessed myself in various situations in dailylife)-so-this BS biz has to be finished once-and-for-all.HANG ALL THOSE BLOODY BASTARDS WHO ARE INVOLDED MEMBERS-OF-THE-GANG !f.ex.the menafq'an to be seen here in the australian videoclip !herewego...

you all talking shi* here...did any of you tried to adopt or sponsor a kid in your borrough to help him go to school or even get by his day to day life....talk is cheap!....stop the blame game you all are useless like finger pointing on the government...they are getting adopted to have a better life like you useless diasporas....bunch of black sheeps!only talkcyber warriors.....

Does any of u have a brain how can the gov sell somebody's children. Don't u see that woman holding her baby does she look like somebody is holding a gun to her head NO. The mothers go to adoption office and giving up thier children. And this should stop. So, instead of blaming the gov lets do something and the gov can warn the the women.

Sad indeed. This has been a concern of many Ethiopians for years now, I myself included as I saw a plane full of our kids heading to America. I was schocked and worried for some of them as I am sure they are handed over to who knows... molesters, abusers, criminals...
who checks?

Now, the fact the Meles group benifited from this is disturbing. But then, this is what we in the diaspora are talking about. It is about the Tplf/Woyane unrelaiable information system that does not even follow throuhg the adoption, where the kids came from and who is doing what. I knew back then this was a problem because at the rate it was going, itobvious officials were making money on this. Now it is confirmed and in my view this is child trade, Human traffiking condoned by the so called government. What a sad story.

Ayee ato meles lantem ken yemetal!

My heart is in pain

It is really sad and heartbreaking to see one ethiopian kid is sold around 15 000 American dollars. It is sad to see a lot of our Ethiopian sisters are abused every where in the world specially in Arabian countries. It is sad to see the dream of ethiopians have became to leave their country by what ever means and cost.

What is the government doing??? This is what I called one of the failer of Ethiopian government beside all corruption and mismanagments.

wake up and stop selling our sisters and brothers to foreign countries.

Indicators of a banana republic: 1) A million dollar business in children adoption. 2) Use food shortage for economical aid. And use the aid to stay in power and for personal wealth for the government’s people. 3) Fight with neighbors and make friends with the 'unknowns'. 4) Oppositions are in prisons or free with weapons in the neighboring countries. 5) Government changes only by weapon with the help of outside forces. 6) Corruption is the norm not the exception. 7) The remittance is greater than the countries export. 8) The money gained by all sorts of export is equal to or less the money paid for only fuel. if you see these in you country i guarantee you that you are from 'a banana republic.

What a sad sad sad existance......

antonio!
I never heard of any responsible government selling their own children’s because they cannot afford
raising them. This is happening because of a failed government. They are so busy looting and building their own dynasty, when population is getting starved to death. That gives ruthless Woyane to tread helpless children’s like a chicken. These children are eventually used as a sex slave and servant of someone.
Also we are not accountable for not adopting children’s, but we may be for not overthrowing woyane and will happen soon by G7.

Ethiopia is for sell and there is nothing new for selling ethiopian kids. Israel bought some, somalia did the same, keneya takes her share, sudan bought a lot of them. Happy to see this trade going on very well. Make money by selling ethiopian.

The different opinions that are posted here are, anyway most of them, irresponsible. Perhaps half of the children adopted are not real orphans, but economic orphans, if you understand what I mean. Many children are born without a father because of machismo neftagna attitudes, who beget a child on a poor girl and leave her to manage for herself. This way, it is not uncommon a man has kids by 4 or 5 women, resulting in a surplus with kids who are neither loved or raised as they should. As long as keeping birth records are as poor as they are, as long as there are no serious financial obligations involved once biological fatherhood is established, as long as attitudes and morals do not change, we will see a large number of children without one or more parents. Go talk to SOS, talk to Save the Children and others in similar work. They will tell you. Open your eyes. Accusing government for giving birth to such an excess of kids and growing population problem is not going to get you anywhere. Go back to the source of the problem. There is something rotten in Ethiopian ideas of getting children out of wedlock, which by the way is not frowned upon either by religious leaders in both camps to which most people belong. Remember, God said multiply and fill the earth to provide westerners with kids for adoption.

And (1) egir bereberie menkel tesinoachihu
Andido leblibo akatlo yifjachihu.
(those who understand English good, pls translate the above kinie lewogenochachin- I don't mind if the editor does that for me).

Oh! My beloved Ethiopia. Those devil's servant weyane are destroying the moral fabric of Ethiopians. let's get ride of them in the coming election. We can't allow them to keep destroy our mother.

Enie yemilew,

Here is the whole nine yards...

Ande eger berberae menkel aketoachu
Akatelo leblebo andedo fejachu

Shi feres kewhualaw, shi feres ke fitu
Shi beret kewhualaw, shi beret ke fitu
Yehenen satay motech koso sach enatu

Yehenen sisema yaguaral lamelu
Manatem bilachuhe Mentwab nat belu

But guess what? The "ande eger berberae" then was eventually gone, as will the "ande eger berberae" now. Only that shining star, Ethiopia, and her people remain.

By the way, I am in no way trying to equate "then" with "now". No matter how insane "then" got, he was Ethiopian to his core, unlike the hater SIGIBGIB JIB, "now".

STUPID habesha MoFos, you all left Ethiopia yourself, why not AIDS orphans have same opportunity?

Sorry no ugly Eritrean kids being adopted, still property of Isayas.

Well then stop bitcccccccccccccccchin and start acting. How about you adopt instead of blaming the government/ the westerners. I just returned from back home. People are still as lazy as the day I left... all they know is gossip, have more & more children without any stable income, & feel sorry for themselves everyday.... the country has nice highways, building, etc. Prices are way too much that I also blame the government. However, how many of us are still sitting abroad & not doing a damn thing for over 20+ years when it comes building our beloved Ethiopia. I blame the people being less educated, esp. the men are backwards. If they elect a woman one day all of this BS will improve. BTW, this is an old documentary that I saw a few months ago, not something new. Educate our people back home, make them leaders & not followers, but how...????? Most of us are selfish, no unity which creates all of these mess! :o

Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children states:

"Trafficking in persons" shall mean the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.

As of October 2009 117 countries have signed this protocol (treaty) except for ETHIOPIA. The government is complacent in human trafficking of children for the profit of over $100million dollars annually. This is clearly against International Law and one more charge Meles will face when he is finally apprehended. We don’t have a government running our country; it is organized ethnic based crime and you must see that for it to end.

http://treaties.un.org/Pages/ViewDetails.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=XVIII-12-a&chapter=18&lang=en

Blaming the ruling class alone would not bring any solution. Fact is: Ethiopia is poor, the society is corrupt, the tradition is man-centered (children are at the bottom of the scale);prevailing religions are corupt and make people dumb. We in the diaspora should do everything to better these conditions. Shouting alone wouldn't make any changes. By the way excercising democracy means also, trying to bring change by oneself and not always cry and search for somebody to point a finger on.

Being an American who recently adopted from Ethiopia I am thankful to have been able to adopt from such a beautiful country full of kind people. I chose to adopt an older child whose parents had died. I was suprised to see so many babies being adopted. This did give me the impression that maybe this was more of a money making industry than the government trying to find homes for orphaned children. I doubt that this many babies who are just born are already orphaned. In fact a lot of times families are waiting on the birth of a child. When you consider the excessive cost of adoption it makes me sad that children are being used for the benefit of the greedy. The really sad thing is it doesn't appear that any of the money is being used to improve the conditions in Ethiopia. Maybe more people who live the country should go back and take some action to help those who have been unable to make changes for the better. I don't believe at all that people of Ethiopia are lazy, Oh my goodness how could anyone say this, I have never met such hardworking people. They work and work and still remain poor because the income is ridiculous. Those who have done well for themselves should have the heart to want the for their fellow country-man.

Dereje:

Hey little monkey Eritrea don't need this sad things all parents love and live in harmoney with their kids.

Ethiopia is a world class poor country, got to know the difference starvation is the norm or and now adoption.

It wont take place on the Red Sea State, proud Eritrean. Some of you monkies think it's priveledge to be adopted by whites, you got no choice broke azz. Ashey maluntritioned HIV infected Ethiopian babies is the subject talking about.

I remember watching this when it first came out. The video has some good points, but I feel it is also slightly misleading. As an American adoptive father adopting two beautiful older HIV orphans who have lost their parents and some close relatives, I have come to love the people of Ethiopia and it's culture. I have become a regular reader of nazret.com, thank you for many informative articles.

Hearing stories like this makes me very sad and mad, to know that some would exploit international adoption for money and gain, and that a government may use this for gain as well.

I want to say that this has not been my experience at all. I recognize that taking children out of their own country is wrong and sad. I also recognize that leaving them without a family and a home is more wrong and more sad. I wish they hadn't had to go through all of their losses, and could be raised in their own country. I can already say that I love our Ethiopian children more than anything. My wife and I will do all that we can to make sure they have every opportunity to learn of and be proud of their cultural background, and to provide for all their physical, medical, educational, social, and spiritual needs.

I know the adoption agency and the children's home in Ethiopia I have been working with does all that it can to make sure the children being adopted out our true orphans. It also does a lot of work to make sure more children can stay in Ethiopia. I know our agency has built a school in Ethiopia to help children get a better education. And that for those children who are not adoptable, assistance for secondary education and college is provided, after they age out of the children's home.

My experience with the courts in Ethiopia has shown me that they (I can at least speak for the judge over our case) are indeed concerned for the children of Ethiopia. The judge has been exhaustive in making sure that no living relatives are able to take of the children we hope to bring into our home, before he will pass our case. While it is heartbreaking to not be able to be with our Ethiopian children as soon as we would like, I praise the courts for doing their due dilligence, in make sure that international adoption is a last resort.

I have also been concerned over reports in articles about the cost of international adoption. From my experience those numbers seem to be exaggerated quite a bit. Yes, adoption does cost a bit, but its a fraction of what I have seen reported. I don't know how the numbers break down, but considering the costs involved, I'm not sure the government sees any or much of it, besides maybe the court fees, and paper processing fees, etc.

Overall, the video brings up some valid points, and we on both sides, need to do more to make sure these situations don't happen. But the story paints the picture as bleaker, and grimmer, than what on a whole it really is. The story seems somewhat sensationalized and exaggerated, and I'm afraid stories like this may do more harm for the children who really need families. The majority of adoptions coming out of Ethiopia, are done legally, and in the best interest of the children who need families.

The families I have met who have adopted Ethiopian children, have also adopted traditions and customs from around Ethiopia into their own home. We may be imperfect ferenji, but Ethiopia has also become a part of who we are, and I thank you for sharing it with us.

Bravo Australia for leading the role!

Adoption at its best should be a holy undertaking that potentially should result in the proper success of ball sides and well considered decision of both sides. It should definitely be well screened

I have had close encounters by people who were adopted (Ethiopians to Ethiopians) and It was not too bad, considering the other circumstance the children would have been in. It used to be common in Ethiopia except money exchange was not too common.

eritrean,

do you have a clue how many children in erit die for lack of the self reliant food you produce?

Never the less, this is one minor glich we will take care of... worry about your own problems, shabia dog.
