Great job! Well done to all and thank you.

Good work, I hope the students there will learn something from these books.

This incident also highlights to what Prof Mesfin was describing, in an interview once, what the status quo of these so called Universities in Ethiopia look like. Its all a show, with empty shelves, undisciplined students, and graduates who do not even have the capacity of high school graduates from previous established schools of the nation. One could have dismissed his detailed comments as just merely a statement of an intellectual opposed to the regime. But this above story clearly shows the truth.

Dear Ethiopian Diaspora if you have a piece of heart for your country, and your siblings in ethiopia pleas spend 10% of your talk to do such type of blessed work. I don't know when we learn and exercise such type of thing. I respect all those diaspora who are working and assisiting others in ethiopia. At least if we can't do by ourselves pleas let us help those who have the intiatives.

thanks for your dedication to healp ethiopians

Blasting a lipstick at the lips of pig it dosen't change the nature of the pig. Lets give 450-lb KULKUAL for MISKILKL/MEKELE villagers in-exchange to divert the book to AAU

I agree with the call to hep our people and our universities in Ethiopia . This is not an excuse, but while many foreign embassies are engaging the diaspora ours do not .
I become very jealous when embassy reprseantatives come to where I live to talk to their country men and women and start projects .
I hope with the new foreign minster this will change.
Thanks for those who did this good deed. I do not mind seeing a comment from some one involved the Denver project on how they accomplished this so some of us can follow . I am ready to help .

Hi, to all of you,the MELKE-TTIFU and GIBRE-KIFU MALELITOCH,

and when is that ETHIOPIAN-OBAMA-BANKER (the great grand son of NEGUSE TION)from Denver, of course originated in the mountains of TEMBIEN like KASSA MIRTCHA, allowed to solve the very acute water problem in AXUM ?

Or do you mean mr.MALELIT, that those students and all people over there are capabile of living and learning with out water ?

Great JOB......No politics here please...As a graduate from AAU I really understand the struggles to get books in the libraries.When I was in AAU we did have only 10-15 Robbins Pathology book as an example for about 300 hundred students excluding the residents.And we had to wait for hours to read that precious book for an hour .And when my turn comes I read the book for one hour like a LOVE LETTER....In case I dont get the book for days...Again GREAT JOB .......God bless you all.............

No surprise, when book shipment is for Tigray state, suddenly the green light is given without EPRDF asking to tax donated books.

Our container of donated school books in 1990s sat on Djibouti docks for weeks, TPLF asking for tax $$$, before container got confiscating.

THIS IS WHY EDUCATED DIASPORA DON'T GET INVOLVED!

we appriciate for ur help
Thanks

it is great universti empti liberary it is very sad thanks USA.

Of course no surprise here. Everything to Tigray and TPLF bullets to the rest.

good for Axum University, however from recent reports i see unfair distrubtion of goods. Meles Zeinawi should keep his promise of treating all "equal"

Thank you for all who participated in this wonderful thing!

while the extreme diaspora work 24/7 to destroy their own country, Ethiopia, Metro State College, did such a wonderful job!

ALPHA and OMEGA ,
ante wisha yewisha lij. Had I met you alone, I could have taken you home and put a French Gullotine on your neck.
The same on the neck of
Affar.

What is the big fuss ? Those who organized the book deive had visited the school and decided to give the books to that particular school.What has meles or TPLF has to do with it.Why don't you 1000000 plus amaras in the U.S.do something for AAU if u like?U are busy eating raw meat and gossiping and hating,right?
You people are the most hateful and wicked folk.You could not care less about a peasant even from your own village but when something good happens in Tigray you are all mad.

People'

The article indicates clearly they are Americas who had visited Axum University; they have the right to put their money and effort where they choose to, who are you to tell them where they should put their money and effort?? You people damn lost your minds, for real. Those of you who are some how trying to make a connection between the good deed of these foreigners with EPRDF makes me sick. You people have turned in to the very single thing you are preaching against that's HATE. You hate EPRDF in your claim for spreading hate around, but there is no one more hatful than yourselves at this point.

Your judgment has been blinded by hate to the point you cannot distinguish between what's good or bad for the country.
Five years ago, a group of people that I was a part of had done what these foreigners have done. We collected books from two of local Universities and other colleges mostly books for Information system and technology and sent lots of books to AA University. However, pessimistic people were telling us the books were going to be sent to Tigray and instead of AA University and we were just wasting our time and energy, but we didn’t want to listen to that and we went with it anyway.

Yes, the books were delivered to AA university and we had received a Thank You Latter from the facility Director.

My Point is put your money and effort where your mouth is and be productive instead. TALK IS CHEAP!

First, like someone mentioned it is is not even an Ethipian or Tigrian initative for that matter. Foreighners visited the univerity and decieded to help it with books. Second, yes the university it in Axum, Tigrai. But not only students from Tigrai are studying there but also students from all over the country. Third ok let's sayfor the sake of argunent) what I said points one and two is wrong. Meaning Every thing is done by Tigrians for only Tigrians. Wouldn't it be a natural reflection for those who are against Tigrai and Tigrians to do the same for their place of origio? That way you could have contributed to your area, your people and then it means you serve your coutry.. But I gues you guys fo not have country but a bottom less belly which is used as your head. Shame you are also called Ethiopians!!!

9 ton books from foreigners, but 900 ton garbage talk from our so called intellectuals such as pro. Al Mariam. What a paradox! What a paradox!

Last year the school I was involved with wanted to donate tons of toys and books to Oromiya region children. but DID NOT HAPPEN. Ethiopia wanted tons of money to allow the stuff into the country. You could call it TAX MONEY. Then the stuff was diverted to ANGOLA.

my hats off for metro state college. afar
deg aderegu!
shewarega and then what did pr.asrat do, did he use his fame and background to help the universities by collecting books from me and you as these people have done...naaa.
by the way you should know these text books cost an average of at least 70$ each which could be ethiopias budjet on education itself if the country wants to buy all the necessary books for all the colleges.

I start to feel the shame of being lumped together and counted as the useless diaspora. How can one possibly argue against such a wonderful work of providing the keys to knowledge to anyone in Ethiopia?

Who is the stinking tribalist now?
How can you non-Tigres pride yourselves when you excel woyane itself in practicing the cruel act of denying equal treatment of all citizens with no regard to their tribal origin what so ever? How can you justify the envious behavior exploding every-time the poor children in the Tigre region get some opportunities? Is tribalism acceptable when practiced by your tribe but not Tigres? If you condem tribalism, starting practicing what you preach with no if or buts!!!!

tigrayo
didnt you hear the story where an ethiopian was presented with two choises where 1) what ever he gets his friend get twice or 2) what ever he loose his friend looses twice and the ethiopian man as clever as he is, thought it was unfair for his friend to get twice of what he gets so he choose the later resulting for him to loose one eye and his friend both his eyes. this sounds like a cruel joke but if you carefully look these same people prefer derg because according to them derg kills every thing and every one maybe a little more tigrians. for them a regime that kill every one is preferable than one that is trying to build universities and other infrastractures everywhere in the country because they think its favoring its region. very sad and scary indeed.

how very kind of Dr.Thobhari and Dr.Watson ,God bless Ethiopia/Axum
Good job of AAA and the major of Axum city.

I don't think some you understand the term of "the sisiter city". so please leave the axu alone.

i have a 2nd yr,student sister@axum university,i might send some books in addition to financial help to my sister.

Blessed job.I am one of the graduated student in Axum University in 2010.But I am here in Denver now.So I know Axum university needs support by blessed donaters like you guys specialy interms of books&others.So you did good.But to answer for some comments,you are not support just to put in AU building but you think to help the all of Ethiopian students who are in Axum universty.
10Q so much
God bless you
Keep it up your support.

Why pick only Tigray University to get those boxes of books? Why not distribute it all over Ethiopia?

Are Tigreas are the only deserving people?

Those Tigreas in Axum need a lot of learning. Even Meles and Azeb need to go back to school. They should leave the PM and PM’s wife position to educated persons.
