It is not funny. (Just for my taste). And I still don’t lough if it were. Because trashing the image of Ethiopia is not going to help anyone. If you scare them now, you have to know you are scaring them for the next 10-20 years. You see, this is the main problem of the so called opposition. They can’t distinguish between Woyanea and Ethiopia. They think and act based on whatever that makes woyanea look bad is good for them. But they are missing the big picture – they are hurting the country they claim they love (?).

;-) this was hilarious, very well done.
Relax everyone, this is satire.
Ethiopia: very good, very good, very good!!! ARIF

Yes well all be laughing in a few years when Ethiopia is a middle income successful country and these video creators are crackheads begging a dealer for a free shot on the streets of atlanta.

Thats funny too! I'll make a video of that!

Ehhh, should i lough or cry? This is so fuckin true. Buying One McDonalds' processed meal in the West is more expensive than renting one hectare of fertile land in Ethiopia for a year. Or simply, buying a macchiato in Piazza or Bole costs you more than the annual fee of one hectare of fertile land in Gambella. If I were the Indians, Arabs and other so called investors, i would stop and think. This is unacceptable and we Ethiopians will not allow the embezzlement of our resource for decades to come.

Let the Evils cry in every corner EPRDF doing great job we will continue our support until our nation is free from hunger and poverty.
Long live Ethiopia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As humorous as the clip was it is disturbingly true. Are you suggesting that we shut up and watch while our resources are defiled and our brothers are forced from their ancestral land to the benefit of unethical businessmen? Investment should be symbiotic not parasitic as is currently the case in Ethiopia. I am curious do you think Africans should have refrained from criticizing and struggling against the colonizers because they would be skeptical to invest in the future too? Let us not blur the lines of justice for the sake of investment. By the way some of the things that fosters investment is security, peace, an equal playing field, accountability and independent judiciary things that Meles has failed miserably at.

Well, well said, my friend! Our Pseudo-patriots never stop spitting out filth without even bothering the harmful consequence that will bring to a country that has suffered for hundreds of years. Neither they understand the power of such disinformation in this age of information technology.

The spiteful image they are trying to create of the country in order to promote their selfish agenda with unabated hysteria against the regime is only leading to the dark tunnel our past from which we are struggling to come out. By the look of it, God forbid though, for every step we make forward, there is a massive gravity that pull us a mile back.

And producing this type of ad is by no means helpful.You have the right to demonize the govt or the leader if they deserve it, but always save your sympathy for the blameless people. You will never achieve a sense of true Patriotism if your equation is based on sheer Idiotism. The result will always be, as one famous guy put it, The repeatation of majestic ruins! Give Ethiopia a break!

Nazret,
by posting an Eri-Tv style propaganda, you are making Woyanees look like angels..my gosh, you guys have lost it big time.

I do not think that it is funny, rather than to be sarcastic. I can imagine in 50 Ethiopia will no longer be as we know it today.

So sorry for the poor land owners (real Ethiopians):

-who had to get deprived from their homes and seek shelter in neighbouring Kenya/sudan together with their cattles,

-who end-up in seas and shores and never get real funeral ceremony,

-who sleep on the streets of Addis while their parents rotten in jail and foreigners enjoy their luxurous villas.

How can I sleep when people suffer at my backyard, crying for their rights, while others enjoy the blessing of their God-given resources?

Shame!

Those who make this satir cry deeply and are disgusted of the situation. I feel your pain.

that is good, we have to keep the investers and the government on their toes when it comes to the land investment of huge track in ethiopia. i recently saw a news where karaturi is selling its share to the locals as a public relation move. this would not happen if people were silent but they need to do more...at the end of the day what matters is ethiopia and its people.

hunger!! hunger!! hunger??
MELESE ZENAWE PLEASE what you feel when you dont eat...
the crisis facing the rest of the world...but you wouldnt know if you are american.
850 million people in the world go to bed hungry everday ALL THIS PORBLEM THAT U
it means that one is not getting the nutrition one needs in order to survive. MELESE CHEMISTRY 1.
What you get when you don't eat food. If you get very hungry, you begin to starve. If you get even more hungry you DIE.THA IS MY PRIME MINSTER BIG PLAN

hungry !!! hungry!! hungry!!!! MELESE INTERVIWED BUY ANDERSON COOPER 360 - CNN ABOUT HIS WIFE
(adj.) A politically INcorrect way of calling a person fat.
ANDERSON 1: I knew you said she had weight issues, but 250lbs.?!! AZEB

MELESE 2: What can I say? she's a pretty hungry girl. LALALA YOU FUNNY

It is not funny at all! Well, when we had been known then as a drought stricken land they used to name as names and now things are changed and for good they have to make satire! Let them! The future is Africa. Look to the US and western Europe! what a tragedy and irreversible down turn. Except for China, those Europeans and America are going to suffer for a long time to come. They did all evil in addition to scramble for Africa by colonization except us! Thanks to China things are not going to be the same with the term of assistance and development cooperation. They may cry and shed crocodile tears, but investment, development and positive change in Ethiopia is unstoppable. The environment protection, chemical abuse will gradually is going to be at work hand in hand with the development initiatives. How many millions are homeless in the US? and jobless in Europe? ..go and lament!!!!!

It doesn't get any worse than this!!!
Finally Meles the shifta/looter had make a luaghing stalk out of my Ethiopia.
Unless he rents a rocket and goes to the moon we will hunt him to the last rabbithole that he may run.

Death to the TPLF looter ,the beggar Meles Chenawi.

It should be taken as lesson. Woyane has been trying to dissolve that nation by any means. Initially they we constitute the region based on race, unfortunately that doesn’t work out as they intended for. The nation picked up to be united over separations. Regardless people human race or ethnicity, Ethiopian public prefers to be united and work hand in hand alike.

Now woyane is giving us another challenge which requires us to be more vigilant and thoughtful. We, Ethiopians should be united against our adversaries, and need to advance the peaceful struggle against woyane, and its supporters

We know our country more than any body. We know our country is heading to wards Modern Agricultural Farm. The people of Ethiopia are very happy now than 20 years ago, when Mengistu was in power. In fact this Video has been prepared by the Derg's Children. Please do not tell us that African America did it. We know you the Derg Children try any thing to creat a problem in Ethiopia. It is too late for you Guys. Long live Meles, and his people for their work.

Don't sell my beutiful country for Arab,our sisters were suffering and now our land is taking.

People work with me here the Satire will backfired. We(Ethiopian)used to think the Arab countries where money to be made and we risk our live to go to Arab only to find out otherwise. We also risk our life to go to USA only to end up as parking lot worker or taxi driver....

When we think USA we are thinking Gold rush....only to find out all gold gone... In Ethiopian case let people think they can buy a land for one doller let investment rush start as soon as they come to Ethiopia the will stay even the land rush ended or not because they will be ashmed to go back where they come from without their free land... so I say let land rush (green gold )rush start

Finally the fiction reflects the Facts of the country .Even diplomatically ways said ,Saudis ,Chinese ,Hindus exploitors are using the same language as been played on this satire .The other satire can be read on this website with the childish usual lies of TPLF Thugs infecting this website .Bunnch of moron bandas where the hell have you seen the so called Rural areas economic achievements than swallowing baseless propagandas of ETV ,Aiga and Walta plus kersam diasporas websites as Pig Ben's days and nights trying to fool us with the crime minister propagandas wreakages and dead stocks .

can any body tell me that this people have to sell fourty percent of product in ethiopia right?

weyane banda ye banda lege way don,t you envite the envesters to tigray.b/c
your people need food aid not the rest ethiopians.indu envesters or arebs you butter step bake from ethiopia an less ather wise you will see.

This is another individual who is carrying out smearing campaign against Ethiopia on behalf of the PFDJ. The Eritrean regime will not leave any stone unturned to carry on hate campaign against Ethiopia. Some hopeless Eritreans and their surrogate Ethiopian slaves associated with Asmara such as G7,OLF,ONLF,TPDM, and the EPPF are engaged in smearing campaign.

The attempt to destroy Ethiopia's image will be increasing as Ethiopia begin to be firm on the provocatie plicy of the Asmara regime. No wonder why these individuals are engaged in extreme hate campaign against our nation. When Ethiopia decides to launch an attack on Eritrea, the surrogate kids of Eritrea like G7,OLF,ONLF and EPPF will be obliterated, they know that, so before they loose their safe houses in Asmara they will spit out their venomous attack against Ethiopia.

Those of you who are laughing in this despicable act of Eritrean sponsored smearing campaign need to take a breath. You will be regretting if you really understand what the aim of Eritrea is.

Eritrea does not want to see a strong Ethiopia under the EPRDF, Eritrea's economic policy was based on strangling Ethiopia and Ethiopians. They thought Ethiopia being landlocked will not be able to cop up with out using Assab and Massawa. Ethiopia decided to use port of Djibouti, Port Sudan, Berbera and Mombasa for its import and export needs. So Eritrea's calculation has been multiplied by zero, now the Eritrean regime which intended to strangle Ethiopia is in a crisis. The country has lost all its income which used to generate from Ethiopia. Now Ethiopia pays close to 600 million dollars per year to Djibouti.

This is whats making the Asmara regime panic, now its organizing different insurgent groups to launch attack against Ethiopia, the attack ranges from cyber attack to terrorism.

Ethiopia has now decided to respond to Eritrea's provocative incidents in action. recently Ethiopia stated it will deal with Eritrean regime once and for all. The Eritrean regime has now began to panic, they know what the consequences of that action on could be, If Ethiopia decides to launch an attack it will be the end of shaebiya.

Now, The aim of Ethiopia will be to 0ust the PFDJ from power, and I believe the country has the means and political backing for that. Its going to be a question of Time, recently there has been a huge amass of mechanized troops around the border, the aim is to deter further attack or obliterate Eritrean regime once and for all.

That is why those hopeless slaves of Shaebiya have began a coordinated attack against Ethiopia's investment and tourism industry.

The flow of foreign direct investment and hundreds of thousands of tourists to Ethiopia is seen as unwanted by Eritrea and Eritrean backed opposition groups. These groups know it well, if the EPRDF succeeds in developing Ethiopia, it will be in power for decades to come, so the opposition are trying to halt that by conspiring against Ethiopia and attacking our tourists.

The inner and outer enemies of Ethiopia will be obliterated one by one.

Our future with the EPRDF is bright, hell to those who wish doom and gloom to Ethiopia

LOL! The comment above is a perfect example of the spin EPDRF and their minions try to spiel, everytime there is a legitimate question raised about their performance. BLAME THE EVIL ERITIREANS! Go hug that boogey man! This guy went on and on and on about shabia this shabia that!I don't care about Eritirea!!! "My governement" is doing more harm to me. I'm sorry to disapoint you but I am 100% Ethiopian and see eye to eye with the video posted- I rather find it funny . If i'm not mistaken, it was EPDRF that was fighting for Shabia's cause- hand in hand. And now that Meles and Afewereke have broken up, there is all this drama about pride and hurt feelings. but see that is the kinda tabloid stuff i Dont care much for. Ato Afarman, the question here is transparency! I care about a country that we all can voice our concerns in. I care for open elections, freepress.A country where the Environment is respected. Simple things that you obivously don't think are that important because you got your head stuck up in Meles's A$$- you can't even think objectively. Enough with the 'it is only shabias that are denoucing EPDRF. If that was true over 60 million Ethiopians will be carrying Eritirean passports. Nice try once again but that gimmick is blown. you can always Try somalians! see if that works for ya. good luck ;-)

Why are the Europeans and Americans so against this development in Ethiopia? ok I can understand the Europans , may be they are not happy to see their competitors (Chinese , Indians)getting the upper hand on them in Africa by snatching up business deals they earmarked for themselves,,,, but I cannot understand those Ethiopians that are so bent on sabotaging or demising any development or good news that comes from Ethiopia,,,,, first of all land cannot be sold under Ethiopian low, so the land is rented or leased but not sold, secondly is it not better for a hector of land to be worth somthing than nothing? whatever it is , its not like this foreign companies will chop the land up and carry it off to India or Arabia, the land will always be Ethiopian, and I don't see how the video maker connected this business affair with colonisation,,, never mind that , Its not the price of the land rent that is useful to us, that is just peanuts compared to what we will gain from the operations of those companies in Ethiopia ,all the investment on the land and the development's that are going to be carried out on the land,all the machinery that is going to be brought to the country for the work , all the jobs thatthis companies will provide for thousands of people, and all the much needed hard currency this developments will bring to our economy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ok forget all that , you might say that is just a temporary benefit, its not long term gain etc,,,and when this companies got what they want and leave, we will be back to where we were, etc,,,,,,,,,,,,, but look at, all the irrigation systems (dams and canals)that are going to be constructed, all the new farming methods and land management thecnic's, like ( how to use the land efficiently, how to maximise its yeald, how to preserve its fertility etc,,,) , all the new production and supply thecnic's, like ( storage, transportation, etc...) that are going to be introduced to our country, all the latest farming technologies and knowledges this companies will bring to our country,,, are going to stay with us, this is the knowledge we need to make us self sustaining in food production,,,,,,,,,,, we have a huge potential to be among one of the top food producers in the world, and still we are known for food shortages,,,, we are a nation where 80% of the population is working on the land, but still we never produce enough food to go around between all of us, so we are forced to import food or seek foreign aid hand outs.,, and you know as well as I do, every Ethiopian knows this, that our condition is the result of our, out-dated farming methods( which is labour intensive, time consuming, inefficient) you know that most of the land in most northern and central Ethiopia has been managed so poorly for ages that, it has lost its fertility long ago, you know with our population predicted to reach more than 150 million by 2020, if we don't revolutionise our agricultural now, by introducing large scale mechanized farming, in 2025 we will have a famine in the scale that the 84 or 74 famines will look like a joke. ,,,,, you don't have to support Woyane to understand this logic,,,, 1+1=2

Satire or otherwise it says a lot about the current state of our country. In the name of investment we will soon be foreigners in our land; and God knows when all this ends. I am 100% opposed leasing lands to foreign investors. Look what they do to small scale urban land holders and they tell them you need to be in the lease. BTW who gave them this monopoly of power to decide over everything?

Afagniman ,shut your poisonous mouth ignorant Keftaff Banda .Eri guys have already gained what they need from your leba master .Looting of the country with the complicity of tigre Mafiosis and the protection of your leba master from 1991 through 1998 .The sovereignty of the country on the Red sea offered to them by your leba master on Silver plates .You the TPLF Thugs are the only well known SHABYAN ASS HOLES AND SLAVES accountable for the destruction of the country .YOU'LL SOON PAY FOR ALL YOUR CRIMES !!! BUNCH OF LEBA PROSTITUTE BANDAS !!!!

funny, true and sad. Very creative

Lately I have seen a new name calling for Tigrean origin “Banda”. When the Italian invaded Ethiopia for second time the major war was happened in Tembin or Abey Adi Tigray. Tembin is located 101 KM North West of Mekele. The Emperor of Ethiopia Atse Haile Selasie claimed fought the war with Italian in Mai Chew 128 KM south of Mekele but the real war was 229 KM north of MaiChew. We heard lots of made up heroic fight in MaiChew but according the Italian never had any major challenge since Tembin until they got to Ambo, Shewa.
On 2nd of May, 1889 Menilik aiming to neutralize Mangasha (Son of Atse Yohanes) pretensions as well as regularize his own status signed the treaty of Uccialli with Italy. In order to get official Italian recognition of his throne and the important right to import military supplies duty-free trough Massawa. Menilik agreed in the treaty that joint commission should fix a frontier line from Arafali on the Red Sea along the highlands, leaving Asmara and Bogas with Karen to Italy. During the preliminary negotiations on 26th of March 1889. Menilik wrote to King Umbertto, calling on him to order his troops at Massawa to guard the frontier towards Asmara, and to pay no heed to the appeals of outlaws (sheftoch) or rebels (Ras Alula) against his authority in Tigre. On the night of August 2nd the Italians take Asmara.
On November 3rd 1889, Menilek was crowned emperor of Ethiopia and on 1st of January 1890, the Italians, who already advanced to the Marab River, issued a decree forming their possessions into an autonomous colony called Eritrea. According to General Baldassare Orero, Menilik entered on 23rd of February 1890, in Mekele. The plan was in order to obtain natural border with Italians, crush the ex-governor of Mereb Mellash Ras Alula and imprison him “to send Ras Alula to Italy”.
November of 1894 Ras Alula fully accepted of Shoan Hegemony and deposed to Addis, however much Ras Alula professed to be an Ethiopian statesman, his goal remained regaining the Mareb Mellash. According to some Europeans in Menilik Palace he became an enthusiastic and strong supporter of war in the immediate future of with Eritrea. While Ras Mekonnen was reported as cordially congratulating the Italians for their victory of 14 of July 1894, over the Mahdists and the capture of Kassala, Alula reacted differently. “He made a wry face, twice swallowed his saliva and told word by word “its better that the Christians won” a very cold and villainous phrase.
The emperor Menilik treated the Ras aalula with great honor but Menilik was playing his card slowly. Alula on the other hand “keen on active life, tired of easy life in Addis and wanted to return Tigre. In fact, Alula was pressing his new boss to give him a command and to permit him to march against the Italians.
I hope by now you might get the drift, where I am going. Alula and his fellow Tigreans fought to preserve the unity of the country.

B.G

Ethiopians Lets Wake-up;

Weyane Is Selling Ethiopia; They are selling land of Oromo, Amahara and Debub Hizboch. The Money is going into the Coffers of Weyane. There is a vast area in Tigrai which is is stolen from Gonder, they don`t sell or lease it. Parts other than Tigrai are for sale or colonization. Lets mobilize and stand against this minority regime, Weyane is destroying Ethiopia. Stand up for Your right and for the Motherland.

@ Afarman aka MekelleMan

With all due respect, what does Areterans have to do with your retard Zenawi leasing land at despicable price, making Ethiopians landless, jobless, homeless, baseless, child/contemporary slaves? What does your cousins, ex looting, killing, partying buddies have to do with displaced Ethiopians in the name of land lease? Is your ex best friend, Issayas putting gun on evil Zenawi's head to commit all these unheard of atrocities, horrendous crimes against Ethiopians? The Aretera issue is one thing, but trying to divert attention from your atrocious acts by screaming Aretera 24/7 is silly, retarded to say the least. Spare us!
