FM Renews Iran's Preparedness to Foster Africa, Ethiopia's Development


Source: Fars News

TEHRAN (FNA)
- Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi, who is in the Ethiopian capital to attend the African Union summit, reiterated Tehran's preparedness to provide African nations, Ethiopia in particular, with necessary assistance for development.

The issue was raised by Salehi in a meeting with his Ethiopian counterpart Hailemariam Desalegn in Addis Ababa this morning.

The Iranian minister highlighted Tehran's principal policy of promoting relations with the African nations in areas of public interactions as well as economic, industrial and agricultural cooperation.

He also voiced Iran's preparedness to host the 6th Iran-Ethiopia joint economic commission meeting and invited the Ethiopian minister to visit Iran to attend the session.

Desalegn, for his part, lauded the two countries' cooperation as positive, and stressed the importance of preparing the necessary capacities for the two countries' relations.

Salehi is in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa to attend the 18th Ordinary Session of the Summit of the African Union.

The two-day 18th African Union summit runs on January 29-30.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's administration has striven hard to maximize Iran's relations with the African continent.

Earlier this week, Iran said it plans to set up new embassies in a number of African and Asian states.

In its meeting here in Tehran on Wednesday, the Iranian cabinet approved a Foreign Ministry's proposal for opening embassies in Somalia, Cameron, South Sudan, Djibouti and the Southeast Asian state of Myanmar.

Tehran has prioritized promotion of its economic and political ties with the African states and the country is now considered as one of the African Union's strategic partners.

Tehran's efforts to boost ties and cooperation with Africa have led to its acceptance as an observing member of the African Union (AU), where it has shown an active presence in the AU summit meetings.

Just as, "Our enemy is poverty" said dictator Zenawi; so do we all believe,I think, at least in principle! Hence, every nation is welcome so far as they help us fight poverty.

Iran's move is obvious! It is looking for more market for its oil since the sanctions over its nuclear proliferation is looming: the US wouldn't dictate African and Asian countries against buying Iran's oil.Iranians seem to be following the Chinese style.

But for us Ethiopians, why do we care? China's helping us out in recent years much probably much better than the US did in 100 years! So, Iran's welcome:) If the US and EU want more attention they should renounce their Neocolonialist and racist attitudes and stop their lip-services but help us build roads, bridges, dams and industries; and become fairer to our trade relations! Otherwise, they can go hell! Who cares? Long live Africa, Long live Ethiopia!

The intent and hidden agenda of the Iranin Government is to Islamize the region and have a dominiance in the area. Thanks to Isayas they have base at Assab at the outlet of Ethiopia. They always looked at us as the only Christian land and need to bring to their influence. To accomplish this goal, with collaboration of Isayas who claims as part of Arab and again by arming and supporting Alshabab, they gradually to destroy christanity and make it a country ruled under shaharia law. Irans hunger to be a dominiant power is obvious in their struggle of becoming a nuclear power country. The attendance of the foregin minister is with such a hidden scheme of installing their puppets like Isayas every where it is needed. Thanks God, Ethiopia througout our history has survived such invasion and will again survive! Many tried to sell us out from out side and within, but God alimghty is on our side.

persian
The Persian Empire expanded from Africa to China and also to India, until Alexander the Great came along. Persians have a long and eventful history. The Shah of Persia, in the 1930s, changed the name of the country back to its original name, "Iran".

Iran means "the land of the Aryans". So Hitler and all his little Nazi friends were quite awfully wrong in calling themselves Aryans. The closest people of Aryan decent are Iranians and Afghanis and they certainly do not have blue eyes, blond hair and white skin.

As a result of mass integration of various cultures from around the Middle East area, Iranians nowadays are multiracial, but they still take great pride in their country.

Persia was a very rich country the third largest oil producing country in the world, would dramatically increase oil prices , and to some extent, it still is. But the majority of people in Iran are of HIGH class OR MEDIUM CLASS. However, most Iranians are hard-working and very motivated people. When they immigrate to other countries, a lot of them lead a good lifestyle because they work hard to earn a high status in society. Persians do not settle for anything but first place.

Persians are very, generally, good looking poeple. The have morals and respect their women (usually amazingly hott) They are rich because they have the old persian values instilled in them and they realize that knowlegde is the key to the future and money. They treat their women with respect, except some Americanized one's with American social skills consider themselves big pimps, but in all honesty, they are straying from the persian culture. Persian's are very noble and loving poeple, their kindness is unsurpassed by any other society, go to Iran and you shall see. Those in power, i cannot say the same generilization for, you must create your own opinion
Today there are large Persian communities in Vancouver B.C., Angeles, Sydney, London, Seattle, Boston, and New York. Persians outside of Iran are often of higher-class and live in nice neighborhoods. Many Persians have high-paying jobs such as Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, and Investment Banking AND REAL STATES NASHVILLE Having their largest community outside of Southern California - The Los Angeles area is nicknamed "Tehrangeles" with nearly 800,000 Iranians
2.) Most Persians are hard working Lots of Persians who immigrate to new countries start out working in small businesses and often times, they start from scratch. They quickly work their way up. Persians are very hard working people.

The Iranian approach and policy of Africa is only one purpose. Convert all by hook or crook to Islam and broaden their Komini style of government all over or at least the east African regions. To start with, thanks to our ex/province leader Isayas, they have the free hand to Assab and installed military facility. Isayas claims to be part of the Arabs! as he can not finance by himself the alshabab are getting arms from Iran and training by the shabia. This man of destruction and disgrace is a collaborator in such wicked scheme. They are not sending their Foreign minister for real friendship and cooperation, instead to get acquainted to some who intend to be supportive of an Islamic Africa. We are obviously circled with such motivated religious fanaticism,but as it has been in our history, this will also become failure and we shall survive. The Turks, Egyptians and others did try for many years in vain. God is with us ! Emmanuel!

GEDION--NASHVILLE,TN!

Are we in some kind of history class? you even repeatedly said about the Iranians being hard working people. Have you been in the country side of our country Ethiopia? you have not seen how hard working they are! they labor day in day out, but many with a backward style of working. What we lack is "creativity". Otherwise you may find many hardworking young and old. Go if you can to Merkato and watch those who labor for the daily bread. Unfortunately we happened not to get good leaders who may guide us for the better future with inspiration and good governance.

As you mentioned I happened to befriended with Iranians during my study in the US. They used to be well mannered and cultured. Mostly we share common way of greetings and socialization. I knew generous ones, easy going and gentle ! saying all that about them and coming back to our topic, the presence of the Iranian Foreign minister at AU was with a secretive agenda ! They are planning to dominate this area of the world politically and economically. We have to open our eyes to see what they really are doing behind a closed door. When it comes to religion unity, it is only Ethiopia the isolated Christian land surrounded by such movement of radical Islam Alshabab and alike. Though individually the Iranians are good people, but the government is firstly against Israel and then us for being Christian.

Here we go again. The Iranian cadre Gideon from Nashville is already at work. Two years ago right after their election we witness the crime committed to Iranian people especially to women. A lot of things going on the world these days but the summer of 2009 in Iran the most unforgettable drama played in our living room. (Goggle Iran election 2009) In my opinion Middle East or Arab awakening started in Iran. Iranian, especially people who reside in Teheran sick and tiered of the religious zealot control their country.
Iranian is well mannered people and very respectful to each other and to non-Persians, the most nationalist people I ever met in general they are pride their history and their country.
Even before the revolution lots of Iranian used to live in Los Angeles, right after the overthrow of The Shah of Iran the king himself with his entourage moved to Los Angeles since then lots of Iranian moved to LA. The Shah eventually moved to Egypt, where he died. I agree with you there are 800,000 Iranian reside in LA area and everywhere in States and Canada. They are not economy immigrant; they are political conscious immigrant left their home in protest of Islamist government.
I want you to see a true story of Set The Stoning of Soraya in Iran at the start of Khomeini's reign, director Cyrus Nowrasteh's drama tells the true story of Soraya (Mozhan Marnò), whose husband plots to have her falsely accused of adultery so he can divorce her and marry a young girl. French and Persian journalist Freidoune (Jim Caviezel) is pulled into Soraya's tragic story when he meets a desperate woman named Zahra (Shohreh Aghdashloo). It will be an eye opening for you.

Mola!

Calm down man! first of all I am also a proud Oromo and above all an Ethiopian. I was not against Moslem religion as Ethiopia is among the first country to give a refugee status to the followers of Mohammed the prophet. We the Christians and Moslems of Ethiopia lived many hundred years in harmony side by side socializing together and worshiping in our different ways. Sadly we reached to such generation of Alshabab and fanatics like you who may vomit anything comes to their head many tried to make separation among us. Thanks to many religious leaders, your influence of sharia law or fanaticism is going to remain as illusion for many years to come. For your information, the true gospel reached Oromia and wolayta among the first ethnic groups of our nation. So, please go and wash your mouth and have your hand washed before typing. May be it helps!

Attacknowledgement
Complete opposite of Lacknowledgement. When someone attacks another person (physically, and/or verbally, and/or emotionally) when provoked. It can come in virtually any form at unexpected times and places.
Nowadays, used to comically describe a retreat in online battle games.
However, in the past, many different forces such as the Mongol Horde, Napoleon's Grande Armee, Rommel's Afrikan Corps, Darius' Immortal Spada and so on...used this tactic to draw out enemy forces, discourage them from chase while escaping from enemy strength, divert attention away from other attacks moving forwards and/or to simply remaneuver around the battlefield.

You studied in the US and not you don't know exactly why Iran is in Africa. To begin with, Almost all African muslims are Sunni and would not allow Iran to do anything in Africa. Other Political issues are always there.

Fyi. The Iranians supported the US led so called war on terror for the simple reason that they were against Al qaeda. And you think they will support Al shebab.

Do your self a favor, read before commenting.
As to our culture, it is a public secret that we have many holidays during the year. We are just talking about old empire we had while they are doing better in every sense of the word.

Iran and Cuba are doing good despite the sanctions that are years old. Does that mean they are perfect ? NO. But at least they have a good medicare and social system.

Dear Sewyewe(honorably)

It is is not always necessary a plan to dominate/exploite resources.

In international relations there is no law that tells each individuals States how to conduct/behave in their relations with other state .There is no law that is clearly guides relation in diplomatic dealings. As the public and journalist witnessed in the Wiki leaks saga,Relations of States with other States is not Justice versus order or ethics versus morality but it is how States trade off certain choices in certain circumstances. All States in International relation scheme are always in the spirit of self help to get legitimacy and to be in the process of predictably. While predictability and legitimacy always complimentary all relations of States in UN/AU are governed by these two factors. So Iranian diplomat making himself comfortable in Africa is to get legitimacy and positioning Iran for predictability of the future. We have seen Eritrean diplomat’s dilettantes caught up lacking these two important factors when Kenya accused them of supplying weapon to Al-Shabbat and ended up making weak legalistic arguments.Thanks.

godlessness!
I wonder why you did not recommend me on what I should read! you seem a good reader! tell me then, why your favourate Iranians are having a military facility at Asab? for now they are not supporting Alshabab directly but by financing Shabia to afford delivering equipments as their policy is "My enemies enemy is my friend". you better read more. Yes, until the end of the rule of the Shah, Iran was in an excellent friendship with the US. Because of the hostage problem during Carter both were in a bitter animosity with each other. Bush Sr. initiated the war between Iraq and Iran and gave military support to Sadam Hussein. This was America doing whatever they wish to do.
Why you mentioned Iran and Cuba regarding social and health system was out of context. Otherwise, let us hope we both need to read more as it makes us wiser!
