Ethiopia's President in Saudi Arabia for medical checkup - State Media

In the past few days, rumors were circulating on the web that Ethiopia's President Girma Woldegiorgis has died. But according to state-run Ethiopian News Agency, the Ethiopian President is in Saudi Arabia for what it said, a 'routine medical checkup'.

ENA said, 'President Girma Woldegiorgis is in Saudi Arabia for medical check up", citing a statement from the Office of the President. The Office said the President went to Saudi Arabia last week for a routine medical check up. And President Girma would return home soon.

The 88-year old President has held the ceremonial position of Ethiopian presidency since 2001.

This shimagiles Hoddam weyanne president has costs Ethiopian ppl.money. Over 5 million dollar has been spent on this gimmatam weyannes for the last 10 years not to mention the daily medic,ajl treatment and medicin with thiopian ppl. Money.. Just think a streets kids in addis with no food or shelter to cover and no one pay attention to them or get a free medical . Just think the money this Hoddam spend could have saved thousands kids that are now begging for food in addis.

I will take this Hoddam weyannes president to Meskel sq. Bridge and push him down to the river.

Why is the president not geting his check up in Ethiopia? Are Ethiopian hospitals not even qualified enough to give a routine check up or is that he is scared of Ethiopian medical professionals?

I never tried to know who this person really is in the past. After I read the news this morning, I looked at the President’s biography in Wikipedia for the first time since he assumed the presidency office. To my wildest surprise I learned that the President used to be a vibrant and very active fellow who served his country in many areas and responsibilities. Without any exaggeration, the aging President Girma WeldeGiorgis, who some unfairly criticize, was the most qualified and experienced person to become President in the history of Ethiopia by any standard. Let’s not allow ourselves be blinded by hate and political prejudice because of ideological and philosophical differences we happen to have with others. May God bless Ethiopia!

President went to Saudi Arabia last week for a routine medical check up?
A short while ago there were many Woyane dogs barking about the successful removal of a huge tumor 24 lb (11 kg) from a 60-year old man at a Debre Birhan hospital. Woyane cadres were giving credit to that "medical wonder" to Melles's "visionary" leadership. On the other hand others were arguing if the medical institutes are so perfect as Woyane agents are assuming why then do Woyane elites, cadres, agents, opportunists and their puppets be sent to foreign countries for simple luxury, fashionable and pseudo illnesses like diabetics, high blood pressure, obese, eating problem combined with alcohol excess and or simple checkups like "President Girma" or propaganda minister Bereket Simon did?
It is a sad fact that Ethiopia's main health problems are communicable diseases caused by lack of sanitation and malnutrition in cities as well as small towns and villages giving rise to many diseases endangering the lives of our people. Streets are filled with rotting garbage. Due to Lack of public toilets defecating and urinating wherever they have the possibilities to do so is very common. The high prevalence of worms and other intestinal parasites indicated poor sanitary facilities. In the meantime, rivers and lakes are contaminated by domestic and "industrial" waste. Epidemic diseases are increasingly common due to fleas, lice, rats, bedbugs and because of the lack of simple hygiene etc. These especially affect and are prevalent among children. Common diseases arising from the lack of sanitation includes measles, malaria, typhus, cholera, hepatitis, parasites such as band worm and co. rabies, AIDS/HIV, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, Schistosomiasis, leprosy, and yellow fever etc.. Venereal diseases, particularly syphilis and gonorrhea, are prevalent in towns and cities.
A study shows that the leading causes of hospital deaths were dysentery and gastroenteritis, tuberculosis, pneumonia, malnutrition and anaemia, liver diseases including hepatitis, tetanus, and malaria. The leading causes of outpatient morbidity in children under age five were upper respiratory illnesses, diarrhoea, eye infections including trachoma, skin infections, malnutrition, and fevers. Nearly 60 percent of childhood morbidity was preventable. The leading causes of adult morbidity were dysentery and gastrointestinal infections, malaria, parasitic worms, skin and eye diseases, venereal diseases, rheumatism, malnutrition, fevers, upper respiratory tract infections, and tuberculosis. These diseases are endemic and quite widespread, reflecting the fact that Ethiopians had no access to modern health care.
In short, the disease of corruptions and luxury does not affect the Ethiopian masses rather the neglect of the regime and insufficient funding and equitable distribution of health services.
The question for woyane agents is if the Ethiopian medical institutes and Doctors can remove 11kg of tumor from a 60 years old man in Debre Birhan, where is the problem that "President" Girma has to travel to Saudi Arabia for a checkup. Where is the problem that Ethiopia has to waste its hard currencies for the luxury and decadent treatments of Bereket, Girma and others like them? If Ethiopian doctors can remove, 11 kg of tumor why not remove also 70 kg of fat from Mr. President Girma?

Demons in hell,congradulations,the pig that you awaited restlessly has arrived dead;this filth is sent to you the way you wanted it;again,enjoy the 833 pound dead giant,and hope it will pull you through to satisfy your hunger.

This pig survived long enough by his keeper being fed more than it consumed everything from what it was familiarized to to the new and any edible stuffs for the last twenty one years.The pig was totally conditioned to what its masters presented to it and, as a result it was rewarded with eternal sleep to the satisfaction of demons that lived in hell.

This dead pig had known by what he passed onto the enemy including military secrets and other crucial classfied information that highly damaged the country's security;in particular,while he was assigned in Asmara in diffierent capacities,this enemy of ours had helped wombadais to gain military victory over ours;therefore,if this hated wild pig dies many times,no single Ethiopians will get tired of hearing the good news about his expected death.Wheather this enemy of the country is in Saudi for medical treatment or for any other reasons,he is already dead while alive,anyway.The giant pig has already been crippled and has not been able to even pick up tissue paper let alone walk a step.The only task that this filth has been able to do was to pick something up and put it into his mouth;other than this,there was nothing he could do in his capacity.Of course,his leaving this peaceful world is a good news for all peace-loving people.The cruel regime that fed this pig to reach this size must be relieved of the burden of keeping the pig fatening and fatening by spending public money for too long for job well done while acting as a spy and informer for too many years.Once again,congradulations all,this pig is gone for bad,worse and for anything else.

In the past three to five years,Zinawi ordered his men to restrict this fightening-giant pig appearing before him for any minor or major matters that the protocol needed the pig to have a working meeting for a short or long encounter with him, as Zinawi was so scared of becoming or reaching the size of this pig and was constantly worried that soon Zinawi's craving for additional food might put him to the risk of having a shortened life;Aba Paulos too was so scared he even told Zinawi to send the pig somewhere far out of his sight so that he would focus on doing devilish things that he was assigned for.Azeb Golla too has been worried about throwing up on seeing this giant pig in any occassion that might have brought them around banquet cermonies.

In short,the life of this useless pig was filled with too many sins and crimes that he committed for the last many years and and had accomplish his anti-Ethiopia mission to the satisfaction of his masters.

It has been been a secret and has been kept as a secret from the pulic being told that the pig is sent Saudi for minor medical checkup,when the main reason Girma w/Georgis sent,if in fact has been sent to a hospital in Saudi for his constant complaints that he had swallowed too much,way too much food unchewed so that he had hardly had the taste of the food in his mouth before swallowed it into his giant stomach;well,the complained reached the Saudi Doctors,which themselves are big-and-pig-eaters prescribed the pig with too much glucose and on the process too much sugar was injected into the pig's blood stream and quickly elivated the sugar content to the point that they could not reverse it;then,the pig became completely imobile and quickly shipped to South Korea for a medical solution.The South Korean Doctors looked into the medical condition of the pig and reccommended to have fixed additional teeth so that the pig would have most of the food gotten chewed reasonabely enough so that that the pig would have the taste of the food on his multi-layered tongue.The South Korean Doctors then have increased the food intake of the pig by 43% per week and sent him back to where he came from.The news caused a mixed reaction to Zinawi because Zinawi didn't want Grima,the pig to live anylonger as the expense to keep the pig going reached the limit.Golla too, was upset the big-pig remained a bad image on her husband.Many would wish the pig to see his own dead body and go back to his eternal sleep.

Nazret, Just a few days ago I expressed my feeling in regards to the death of a black American Shabia's lobbyist(I forgot his name) in the same manor your first commenter here has expressed his joy to see an Ethiopian being ill, and I understood why you might have found it inappropriate and deleted my comment cos I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you may have genuinely found it offensive. yet here you are entertaining the defaming and insulting of an ill elderly Ethiopian whose view happens to deffer from yours. I mean, really what is that in our Ethiopian blood that has made us so irrational that we can not even appreciate each others individual right to choose who to support? Ato Girma chose to be part of the solution and work for Ethiopia in a way he personally believes is right, you chose to complain from a distance but perhaps with a good intention for the betterment of Ethiopia but nothing can justify the way you portray yourselves as better Ethiopians than Ato Girma or any one in the regime you tent to loath. sorry but lately everything about so called opposition has turned desperate the you (ESAT)couldn't wait to announce the death of some one who has not died. I mean ምንድነዉ ነገሩ, ቀልድ ነዉ ወይስ ፖለቲካ ነዉ የተያያዝነዉ? the worst thing about us Ethiopians is we don't even know when we are being used by external forces with worse intention for Ethiopia than Woyanee. really you guys make Woyanee look like an angels..You are making people resort to 'better the devil we know'. unbelievable!

E'rm, Girma who? What exactly is his role in the looting, murderous regime? Is he like part of the furnishings in Arat Killo Palace because they hardly ever mention this guy? Shame he was reduced to that level with all his credentials.

... Now, for those TPLFites who constantly bash opposition figures like Prof Al, Berhanu Negga, Tamagn Beyene etc old generation blah yari ya, what do you call this geriatric? How about Meles, Berekt Simon, all the rest of woyane geriatrics? Are they special case or what? Young people as senior politicians are rare anyway, but just saying why Meles's door mat's on this site always brand Prof Al, Dr Mesay Kebede, Dr Yilma, etc old generation while their parliament is like senior citizen's care home filled with (Limotu And Hamus Yekerachew) geriatrics.

The Chinese say that you should never, ever buy a used desk unless you know the history of it. They claim that if it belonged to a bad businessman, his karma will befall you. This one here belonged to President Girma Woldegiorgis . So what do you think that means?
I don’t know, but if I were you, I wouldn’t ride through Saudi Arabia for medical checkup.you are medically thirsty man that means you need medical attention at any moment. karma means whatever you do comes back to you, e.g. if you do something good, something good will happen to you, and vice versa

medical loser
a loser with serious/chronic medical problems
if you are a doctor then if you see this guy in your office what do you feel the ethiopian taxpayers speend lots of money on medical losers.
in the united states of america no person gives a shit about medical losers. medical losers most the time have no cure for the serious /chronic medical problem that they have. it could be well know or not. so your medically thirsty that you may need medical attention at any moment.

Dear Ethiopians the fight against the Tigre pigs hasn’t come to an end due to the death of a pig. (I have to admit that was one “Gibida” Piglet). On the positive side, the pig’s death may help the price of meat to fall down.(ye-Aya-jibo mott ke-sig merekese besteker lela lewut ayametam)

The fight against the Tigre apartheid system will continue.

A luta continua!!!

I am wondering how many of you guys are full of hatred towards our honourable President Girma. He is a man who has contributed more than any body else under all types of regiems in Ethiopia. Nomatter whether they were monarchist, dictators or are democrats, President Girma W.Giorgis has served his country in different fields selflessly. May God give him more life and strength! Death to all crooked minded bloggers who are wishing him negatively!

As most of you put it rightly,yes,indeed,this animal is a pig.Mostly, when Zinawian agents recruit an element to their camp,they see how that person is weak on the head;they then will take him or her with them and do background check up on the recruit.But this useless trash,Girma G/thepig was not checked up on the head,it was merely Zinawian agents quickly took notice and found the pig was weak on the belly,that the animal,the hoddamu can be bought easily into their camp for food.They were right.

It has been said that he was once in the middle east,for the first time and did shopping in and around that Arabs' city and enjoyed all kinds of meat- ox,camel,deer, and goat and different kinds of cheese,but the weird thing he did that people could not believe he did was that he bought 27 Ostrich eggs,each weighs 10kg for a total of $300.00 and immediately shipped it out via cargo right to his private residence.The reason that he bought the eggs was not mainly for medicinal purpose,it was for its soury taste when it is prepared as omlelate or smoothy.

Four years ago, in fact, the men surrounding Zinawi clearly asked Zinawi that Girma should be sent to a nursing home abroad no matter the cost would incurred on the public too high or high. One of the nursing home suggested was in Indonesia;the second choice was Cambodia and the third one was Colombia or Peru. Except Colombia and the rest, the nursing home in Indonesia carges daily food consumption by weight of the amount the client eats for a fixed selling price, but the problem was that the nursing home would not allow clients who eats pork into their nursing home.Zinawi told his ment that whether abroad or here,the cost will be the same and can not be controlled;therefore,let's keep it here until we gets broke.That was it.

Even children today are more concious of what they put into their mouth;therefore,why was it difficult for Girma to watch his mouth when it comes to putting everything into his mouth? True,if Girma and Zinawi were to stand naked on a scale,Girma would exceedingly outweiths Zinawi,but when it comes to habit,they both are on the same scale.The loved ones of Girma blamed everything on Zinawi for not cutting down the amount of consumptions that he allowed Girma to take from the warehouse. On the other hand,many observers blamed the majority of things on the pig himself for not clearly telling the people whether he is an animal or a human. On the other side of the world,the thinkers have said it again and again that why not Girma makes a gyme his second home rather than being immeressed in a warehouse. Although,it is quite difficult to believe or accept it,very few said that Girma tried hard but not smart to be a vegeterian for years before he was recruited to Zinawi's camp.

But the reality is that Girma was up to his goal to attain 901 lb;whether he can make it or not, he and those who fed him will tell the world soon,in few days.A lot of people feel that Indian food could have be an alternative,Girma would get a lot of proten and anti-oxidants to remove tons of debris from his system so that he wouldn't be restricted to a prison-kind life that he experienced for too long.Others also said that the man,rather,the pig never had the understanding of food as not only to keep the living live,if it is taken too much,it would lose its medicinal effect would in fact,harm the body and the mind.Girma never had been independent and his own being mainly because he was kept alive for the sake of his masters who used and abused him for, at least,the last 21 years and nobody knows what they did to him or where they hid him.It has been too long that this galxic pig roamed around the food,it is time to put everything behind and throw the pig into pit.

This is my first time writing, but I read the online magazine occasionally. What sadness me is the "hate" and “ignorance" based comments which accounts to the "majority" of the comments posted. These comments are a result of "misinformation" and "lack of knowledge". Sometimes I laugh and sometimes I ask myself why I even bother reading these comments. Once in a while however, I read a comment that makes sense like the writer who read the President's biography and has something to say that is factual and positive. So people, please "read", and you can "Google" anything nowadays and find tangible information. We can all “disagree” but let’s be “respectful” and “decent” about it. Please don't use your broken/bad English, and time that is precious to badmouth people and remain unconstructive.

All I read above is shameful. Some diaspora are not only toxic but also ignorant and arrogant for nothing. He is not the only head of state in the world without any political power. The queen of GB of is one of them. As head of state and all his life the president has worked and fought for a better life for all Ethiopians. What have you done for your country?
I hope the President will live longer and serve his country.
Long live peaceful Ethiopia.
