Ethiopia under the ethnic baiting Meles had more that a spotty record on human rights, it has a very dark record no if and but....

Ethiopians must hunt down TPLFs and eliminate them once and for all so that we can get back to the business of nation building!!!

HRW, cry me a river. What else can you do? Ethiopia these days is not any more your punching bag.
Live and learn!

.

For the Ethiopian government to take meaningful steps, for example, to respect the rights to freedom of expression and assembly or to start holding its security forces to account, as well as maybe start really cooperating with HRW, its officials has to be slapped with sanctions such as freezing their personal account in overseas accounts! Only then you will start seeing a real change!.....

.

The result of hard work and good governance paid of thanks to EPRDF great vision.

To all,
It is good to Ethiopia to be in UN rights council b/c the council will suffocate them better when we cry for our rights. This time the so called Ethiopian government will be the loser. We will win the heart and mind of all peace loving people.

What a Joke .The TPLF racist ,looter and Genocider regime member of the UN Human Rights Commitee .Wonder what would be the nearest decisions : Human Rights Activists accused of Terrorism ,the END of the International Criminal Court ,the rehabilitation of Despots and Tyrants under arrest and on international Inquiries ,the then Crime Minister nominated as the Champion of Human Rights...LOL !!!!

Let him who has never committed a human rights violation pick the first stone against Ethiopia.

Bear in mind, Democracy is a process.

1) If arbitrary detention against other Ethnic groups like a number of Amhara Journalist, Oromo/Amara politician, e.g. Junedin's Wife will not get free, I believe that whatever construction may bring development for the moment, ultimately the Country will turn to crisis.

2) Property right should be protected. It is not advisable to take from region X/individual and give to political party for region y prosperity.

3) From two day ago, someone wrote me a link that there is a company called EFFORT. It appears that this company is owned by a political party. This company has been also brought a significant contribution, mainly in the areas of industrialization. Further, some sources indicate that this company is owned only by Tigray people. Its operation also ment only for that region. This is entirely unacceptable for:

*Political party likely biased toward their own business.

*Biased against other region hurt the business viability and morale of other region.

I suggest here that since the initial fund for the EFFORT is from public sources, it is advisable if the business of this company would be shared/given to other regions/Ethnic groups like Amhara, Oromo so that everyone will not remain behind.

4) As I read, heard and saw, It is obvious that some politically affiliated or innocent people were a victim of this gov't for justice or injustices reason , specially during Meles Zenawi. Now those people have left the country and never felt comfortable toward the continuity of the political party in the country. Even they appears that they are taking vengeance through different strategies and seeking change in the country.

My suggestion here:

* The current gov't or its political party is better to continue because it will take many sacrifices and resources to change it. Further, any prospect to bring change also likely damage the good economic development of the country. But, as well, the victims should get some compromise from the government. For example, up lifting of any justice against them and full warranty that they can return to their home country and then led their life on what direction they want. If there is any of their property was taken by gov't it is better to return to them with at least the value of their resources/assets. I believe this will untimely reconcile animosity between the victims and gov't, and further reflect a good picture of the country. From here, all will grow together.

I mean now, whatever ideology they used to run, whether they were belong to Ginbot, ONLF, OLF and others it is better to forget what was happened before, and now try to work together for the prosperity of the country.

I am feeling a bad sorrow for those who lost their relatives due to gov't action during the past. I also ask those victims to stop retribution. Then forget about unreality of human right philosophy. Rather solve your problem by your own. Of course, Human right may create job opportunity for someone where you may enjoy that.

Initiation for reconciliation should start from Ethiopian gov't being it has power. Being it also has new prime minister who should act as neutral chair and with promise not to inflict any further damages.

If the above mentioned will not get a consideration, I have further concern that the country will be destabilized. Then, each ethnic or region will have link for no good results. Finally, workers, poor people and economic development will be jeparadised.

Please note that I don't have any political interest nor be biased against any party, individual or gov't as of yet. However, it is initiating me to participate when I hear some none appealing actions of those victims and/or gov't. Whether you believe or not this is my status now. I believe that if both of you act positively and collaboratively, you can strengthen development.

EVEN U.S. HAS FAKE HUMAN RIGHTS?

U.S. HAS 2.6 MILLION PRISONERS (70% MIONORITIES), 1 MILLION MORE THAN CHINA...NOT INCLUDING GUANTANAMO.

Those prisoners in U.S. might be criminal. Though I don't know about USA, I have seen many countries including western that the philosophy of Human Right is hardly working.

It's a surprise N. Korea didn't make the list.

The latest news is CIA director David Petraeus wish he were in saudi arabia so that islamic sharia law excited on him and die instead of suffering this kind of saga... He ask himself what is the different b/w Islamic sharia law and America mob justice in Saudi Arabia a few people throw stone at u but in America they allow the whole world throw stone at u 24/7 they talk about u as if u are the first man who committed adultery ...David Petraeus lost every thing his job, his marriage and his pride all his life work what his better it would be much better to die by sharia law... This is what is called human right in America what is their business if one committed adultery it is only his wife business if u ask me.

Ash,...

Great observation and comment. I like it. Wow!!

Here is the mark of the graveyard for hose hate Ethiopia.

A senior Ethiopian diplomat was asked on how Ethiopia was able to make it to get a seat in human rights council against the huge lobbying propaganda war he said "ewntena negate eydera yeterale".

Isayas Afewhisky is contemplating to withdraw membership from the UN, he said they are discussing to establish a second UN comprising of Eritrea, North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan Taliban, Pakistan Taliban, Al Shebaba Somalia with Al Qaeda acting as the security council, an official meeting is planed in Asmara where the head quarter will be within a few months to come.

To Usfu:
I look your comment as very interesting and positive but not storong. why I am saying that?

1 Yes, with arbitrary detantion, killing, deasappir ethiopian son in evry place is totaly wrong and not tolerable, as you say you can build sky touch building but that is totaly crisis, Ethiopian prison is full of talented ethiopian son which is our key preoccupation look all Oromo, Gambela, Amhara, Somaly son insied prison look andualm, riot, bekel gerb.... becose of their brillan idea for our Ethiopia, look the 20 or more peace ethio. islamist in prison who are asking simple religion leader election, so your exampl here is not fair, you refer only Juned sado wife why her?, after all she need to face justice bench and the bench decied for her.

2. I agree totaly

3. There is no single doubt that the source of Efert is ethiopian ppl monye and not only Ethiopian if not also the ownership are Ethiopian- Israle family and there is no other chinice joke that say ¨some ethinic fund ¨for the source of that, so mr usfu the Efert company not to be shared if not immediatlely must to be returned to ethiopian ppl and to be control, regulate by ethiopian ppl under institution of government not by wayane party.

4.you recognized that ethiopian son are victm of injustice by Meles goverment and you come again to advise the need of continuity of the current goverment becose of the damage of resource that will be occure during the change. what is that?

- Man. you are blaming and giving responability only to the demon
Meles? no man, all who are with Meles incluiding HD today are at the front and they all share responabilty of ethiopian son killing and the justice bench will be soon for them,

-Usuf my frend, there will not be any resource to be damaged when installing good governance and democracy the only thing is commitment and good attitud to the ppl vote and the large benefity here is more than the individual benefit for none ethiopian infont of today, lets give the way to the ppl to elect their own representative, Ethiopian are dignified for that.
Fainaly I respect your last comment ethiopia is for all and ethiopian must to decied their country and for that the current administration who is on power by robbery of ppl vote must to open the door to all idea with out any interference and let the ppl choose the best for them.

An embarrassement to Almariam who has been accusng Ethiopia on Human right is now placed within the HR watch office.

HRW it is a fack organization it should not be exist in the 21st century.Just like UN.

Spot on ! kkkkkkkkkk

Don't confuse between the two



1. UN Rights Council is a legitimate and right UN council.
Nations have to obey to UN Human right council.

2. Human right watch (HRW) is a self appointed or created like private business doing things based on own interest.

"Human rights groups have criticized the election by the United Nations General Assembly of several countries with spotty rights' records to the U.N. Human Rights Council. Of the 18 countries elected Monday to the Geneva-based body, human rights advocates say only about a third are qualified."

So, Ethiopia is part of the 2/3 and there is nothing to say about except saying "good luck Ethiopia being in UN council members".

EPRDF with very poor human rights record has managed to get money and support from the IMF, Bill Gate, Europe and the West for 21 years.

Meles is dead but his cruel humane rights legacy is being carried by Hailemariam used as the front man while the same old TPLF gangs are pushing the button behind him.

Q. What can the UN and the rest of the free world can do to help Ethiopians?

A. Give them arms like the Syrian and Libyans oppositions. That is where solutions can be found.

Send Arms to Ethiopian oppositions.

Thank you HRW for the criticism on EPRDF government. As the dictatorial number of years add up, so are the types of the abuse.

Your next request should be to arm Ethiopians held against their will by EPRDF ethic minority dictatorship.

We have recently seen that every Dictator who came by force left only by force. Weapon is Dictator’s friend and supporter and history is the witness.

The same way we shall never expect Woyanes to leave or transfer power peacefully to other groups outside of theirs.

So the West and the free world have moral responsibility to help those who cannot free themselves from brutality and dictatorship.
We see Syrians fiercely fighting to free themselves from brutal dictator. Ethiopians can do it in a heartbeat.

Please help Ethiopian Oppositions.

Empower Ethiopia that is the best solution to lower its human rights problems

Exterminating TPLF is a must so Ethiopia and Ethiopians can move forward. There are a lot of TPLF cadres and shabia sympathizers here we should identify, capture, and start purging

These are freeloading none Ethiopian refuges who are afraid to go back to their homeland in Mekele and Asmera for fear of going poor again.

“Trust to that God only who is unchangeable. ‘Cease ye from man,’ Isa 2:22; leave trusting to the reed, but trust to the Rock of ages. He that is by faith engarrisoned in God, is safe in all changes; he is like a boat that is tied to an immoveable rock. He that trusts in God, trusts in that which cannot fail him; he is unchangeable. ‘I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.’ Heb 13:3. Health may leave us, riches, friends may leave us, but, says God, I will not leave thee; my power shall support thee; my Spirit shall sanctify thee; my mercy shall save thee; I will never leave thee. Oh trust in this unchangeable God! God is jealous of two things; of our love, and of our trust. He is jealous of our love, lest we love the creature more than him, therefore he makes it prove bitter; and of our trust, lest we should place more confidence in it than in him, therefore he makes it prove unfaithful. Outward comforts are given us as food by the way to refresh us, not as crutches to lean on. If we make the creature an idol, what we make our trust God will make our shame. Oh trust in the immortal God! Like Noah’s dove, we have no footing for our souls, till we get into the ark of God’s unchangeableness. Psa 125:5. ‘They that trust in the Lord shall be like mount Sion, which cannot be removed.’”

Funniest comment ever!lol

You know, Libya's Muammar Gaddafi used to sit in that council also, so I am not really surprised.

The group’s first purchase will be medical debt, but it hopes to move on to tuition debt and credit card debt. Members acknowledge that the most wildly successful fund-raiser will not come anywhere near the amount that American consumers owe, estimated at more than $11 trillion. -NYT

Deuteronomy 15:2 This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel the loan he has made to his fellow Israelite. He shall not require payment from his fellow Israelite or brother, because the LORD's time for canceling debts has been proclaimed..

Well, well well

You gotta be living buried under the rocks not to know Government of Ethiopia's OUTRIGHT horrific, nauseating human rights violations & abuses. However, organizations such as HRW cry crocodile tears! Their respective "western governments" form very cosy relationships with their puppet Tyrants for their own interests and pour billions of dollars on Tyrants in the name of aid, knowing all too well that the poor citizens get a fraction of that AID dollar, their aid buys weapons for abusive TYRANTS, which in turn is pointed onto the abused citizens.

HRW know all too well that their respective governments are the life & Souls of their puppet Tyrants like those in Ethiopia? So why are they screaming 24/7? Please do NOT insult our intelligence. Clean up your respective yards a$$holes.

@ Ash & MIMI

You are talking planet earth & Pluto here, really.

Ash, the CIA boss, General Petraeus, held the highest of offices in that land, that requires you be a model citizen? We are not talking ordinary men but men of the highest trust placed upon them, highest caliber so going around & having affairs, not just that but crate all that drama, surely, must have given him a clue as to what would happen to him if things ever slip out? But No no he though he is a top untouchable man so he can get away with murder? Please do not compare beheading, and being beaten TO DEATH aka BARBARIC Saudi Sharia Law to USA's precious Law!! Which planet you come from? Mars?

So, General Petraeus lost his wife that he never loved or cared for any longer? So what? He will go marry one of his 50 undisclosed mistresses? He lost his job? So what? He will be earning millions until he dies. If he wants, he will get a Hollywood deal & all? He feels humiliated? So freakin' what? It will all blow over soon and nobody even remembers his name anymore? HOWEVER, once you lose a precious life that ONLY GOD can give & Take away, that is JUST that! Don't you EVER compare barbaric Saudi Sharia law with (((Human Being's LAW))). Oh, please!

@ MIMI

What if Minorities are majority in jail? So what? Like they don't deserve to be there? They blast each other off like chicken? Black on black, Latino on Latino crimes on top of a million & one other crimes committed by minorities? Hello? Just because they are minorities, it doesn't mean they are not criminals. Hell they are! Don't play the race card here.

Ambassador Susan Rice is going to be nominated by President Barak Obama, to be the next Secretary of State, in the new Obama Cabinet replacing Hillary Clinton.
Are we gonna see THE FOOLS & IDIOTS of diaspora wanna be Ethiopian opposition staging some kind of protest. I can't wait to see!!!

You guys are free loader blood sucker Shabia servants. The end of blood sucking EPRDF and Woyane refugees is nearing. You are barking to sound like Ethiopians but your action is nothing but a pure banda blood sucker.
Selling land, forcing population to relocate and the relentless plot to create division and poverty on Ethiopians while Woyane Tigreas refugees, Colonizers, squatters and trespassers are spreading all over Ethiopoia to suck blood and wealth is not a work of true Ethiopians but a work of pure evil Woyane banda.
No dictator has ever relinquished power through election or peaceful means. That will never happen especially when Woyanes undeservingly are amassing wealth by taking it away from other Ethiopians.
So Ethiopians work on getting arms from the West and get your liberty and dignity back.

Susan Rice is a toast. When Obama realizes that he his up against a fight on Capitol Hill, he'll back away. A congressional hearing is not a campaign where he can sway public opinion. The republican dominated senate will bury Susan Rice because she deserved it.

QUESTION: Thank you Mr. President. Senator John McCain, and Senator Lindsey Graham both said today that they want to have Watergate-style hearings on the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, and said that if you nominate Susan Rice to be secretary of State, they will do everything in their power to block her nomination. Senator Graham said, he simply doesn’t trust Ambassador Rice after what she said about Benghazi. I’d like your reaction to that? And -- and would those threats deter you from making a nomination like that?

OBAMA: Well first of all I’m not going to comment on various nominations that I’ll put forward to fill out my cabinet for the second term. Those are things that are still being discussed. But let me say specifically about Susan Rice, she has done exemplary work. She has represented the United States and our interests in the United Nations with skill, and professionalism, and toughness, and grace. As I’ve said before, she made an appearance at the request of the White House in which she gave her best understanding of the intelligence that had been provided to her.

OBAMA: If Senator McCain and Senator Graham, and others want to go after somebody? They should go after me. And I’m happy to have that discussion with them. But for them to go after the U.N. ambassador who had nothing to do with Benghazi? And was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received? And to besmirch her reputation is outrageous. And, you know, we’re after an election now.

I think it is important for us to find out exactly what happened in Benghazi and I’m happy to cooperate in any ways that Congress wants. We have provided every bit of information that we have and we will continue to provide information. And we’ve got a full-blown investigation, and all that information will be disgorged to Congress.

And I don’t think there’s any debate in this country that when you have four Americans killed, that’s a problem. And we’ve got to get to the bottom of it and there needs to be accountability. We’ve got to bring those who carried it out to justice. They won’t get any debate from me on that.

But when they go after the U.N. ambassador, apparently because they think she’s an easy target, then they’ve got a problem with me. And should I choose, if I think that she would be the best person to serve America in the capacity at the State Department, then I will nominate her. That’s not a determination that I’ve made yet.

Ed Henry?

QUESTION: I want to take Chuck’s lead and just ask a very small follow-up, which is whether you feel you have a mandate not just on taxes, but on a range of issues because of your decisive victory? But I want to stay on Benghazi, based on what John asked, because you said, “If they want to come after me, come after me.”

I wanted to ask about the families of these four Americans who were killed. Sean Smith’s father, Ray, said he believes his won basically called 9-1-1 for help and they didn’t get it. And I know you’ve said you grieve for these four Americans; that it’s being investigated. But the families have been waiting for more than two months.

QUESTION: So, I would like to -- for you to address the families, if you can. On 9/11, as commander in chief, did you issue any orders to try to protect their lives?

OBAMA: Ed, you know, I’ll address the families not through the press. I’ll address the families directly, as I already have. And we will provide all the information that is available about what happened on that day. That’s what the investigation is for.

But as I said repeatedly, if people don’t think that we did everything we can to make sure that we saved the lives of the folks who I sent there and who were carrying out missions on behalf of the United States, then you don’t know how our Defense Department thinks or our State Department thinks or our CIA thinks. Their number one priority is obviously to protect American lives. That’s what our job is.

Now...

QUESTION: (OFF-MIKE)

OBAMA: ... Ed, we’re -- I’ll put forward -- I will put forward every bit of information that we have.

I can can tell you that immediately upon finding out that our folks were in danger that my orders to my national security team were do whatever we need to do to make sure they’re safe. And that’s the same order that I would give anytime that I see Americans are in danger, whether they’re civilian or military, because that’s our number one priority.

With respect to the issue of mandate, I’ve got one mandate: I’ve got a mandate to help middle-class families and families that have been working hard to try to get into the middle class. That’s my mandate. That’s what the American people said. They said, ‘Work really hard to help us. Don’t worry about the politics of it. Don’t worry about the party interests. Don’t worry about the special interests. Just work really hard to see if you can help us get ahead, because we’re working really hard out here and we’re still struggling, a lot of us. That’s my mandate.

I don’t presume that because I won an election that everybody suddenly agrees with me on everything. I’m more than familiar with all the literature about presidential overreach in second terms. We are very cautious about that. On the other hand, I didn’t get re-elected just to bask in re- election. I got elected to do work on behalf of American families, and small businesses all across the country who are still recovering from a really bad recession, but are hopeful about the future. And I am too.

What in the hell are blubbering about? Can you have some coherent message for a change?

Haha'ing and Hehe'ing is not a recipe for extended stay Addis.

Anchi fesam zem ateyem??? lollll

She began work as the director of international organizations and peacekeeping for the NSC, where she had what she calls her "most searing experience" when she visited Rwanda during what was later classified as a genocide. "I saw hundreds, if not thousands, of decomposing corpses outside and inside a church," she says. "It was the most horrible thing I've ever seen. It makes you mad. It makes you determined. It makes you know that even if you're the last lone voice and you believe you're right, it is worth every bit of energy you can throw into it." She took the lessons learned from her peacekeeping position to a new post as special assistant to the president and senior director for African affairs in 1995. - from her Internet bio. (In line with the bogus, misleading, after the fact, half hearted and irresponsible statements typical of Susan Rice.) Obama said in his inflamitory remarks that the Republicans are after soft target meaning Mrs. Rice. We the poor Ethiopians know for sure both Obama and Rice are wrong and lying, too.

How Obama vs. McCain/Graham poisons the bipartisan well
by Aaron Blake on November 14, 2012 at 3:25 pm

The most striking moment of President Obama’s press conference Wednesday was when he went after Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) in no uncertain terms.
Graham and McCain have made clear in recent days that they wouldn’t vote to confirm U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice as Secretary of State due to a lingering controversy about what Rice said in the days after the attack on Benghazi, Libya. Rice suggested at the time that the deaths were due to a spontaneous demonstration sparked by an anti-Islam video, but it soon came out that it was a planned attack.
Graham has suggested Rice is “incompetent” and said he doesn’t trust her, while McCain said she is “not qualified” to serve as secretary of state.
Obama took umbrage at both men Wednesday.
“If Senator McCain and Senator Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me,” Obama said, adding: “When they go after the U.N. ambassador, apparently because they think she’s an easy target, then they’ve got a problem with me.”
The moment was a stark reminder of the contentious political environment in which we remain even after last week’s election — something nobody should forget when it comes to the so-called “fiscal cliff” and immigration reform.
In recent days, many big-name conservatives and Republicans have suggested they are willing to give a little more when it comes to revenue increases, taxes and illegal immigration.
And Obama started the press conference by striking a note of bipartisanship as well, even praising McCain for his past support of comprehensive immigration reform and paths to citizenship.
Just minutes later, though, McCain was in the crosshairs, with Obama visibly angry over the attacks on a woman who is seen as the frontrunner to become his next secretary of state. Obama argued that she was merely reciting the (faulty) intelligence that was available at the time and bears little or no responsibility for anything related to Benghazi.
“To besmirch her reputation is outrageous,” Obama said.
Graham’s office quickly responded to Obama’s remarks, hitting back just as hard.
“Mr. President, don’t think for one minute I don’t hold you ultimately responsible for Benghazi,” Graham said. “I think you failed as Commander in Chief before, during, and after the attack.

“Given what I know now, I have no intention of promoting anyone who is up to their eyeballs in the Benghazi debacle.”
McCain was a little more measured in his response, but no less firm: “We owe the American people and the families of the murdered Americans a full and complete explanation, which for two months the president has failed to deliver.”
The ramping up of rhetoric over Benghazi should remind us all that both sides have closely guarded prerogatives and political bases that will bristle at the idea of middle ground when it comes to important issues — whether it’s Benghazi or taxes or immigration (the latter on which Graham and McCain just happened to be some of Obama’s most likely GOP partners).
Talking about compromise is much easier than effecting it, and the duality of Obama’s press conference — one minute talking about bipartisanship and the next minute engaging in a heated partisan spat — serves as a reality check.
No matter which side you think is in the right here, the fact is that both sides are dug in and have a huge amount of political capital at stake. What was already a contentious issue in Libya will only become more so after Wednesday’s press conference.
And as the two sides settle in for a high-profile negotiations about the future of the American economy, the well of bipartisanship has certainly been poisoned — at least a little, and maybe a lot.

UN. the US, the WEST and the Free World please arm Ethiopian opposition parites.

Free Ethiopians fromm blood thirsty repressive EPRDF regime.

"HaHaHaHa!!!"

There you go again...smh

Like I said Haha'ing and Hehe'ing is not going to extend your stay in Addis. We know you love it there more than you love it in mekele....

This must be the greatest insult to those who are being jailed and tortured in detention centers across country. This decision just goes to show how much credibility we should expect from this so called UN, which is nothing more than a collection of dispots.
SHAME!, SHAME!, SHAME!

HRW is a NGO. Its just some organization that does some form of research or other. It has no bite on reality, so being on it is no big deal.

But here is one interesting point.
"HRW's Bolopion singled out Ethiopia’s poor rights record.
The Ethiopian government should take this opportunity to take meaningful steps, for example, to respect the rights to freedom of expression and assembly or to start holding its security forces to account, as well as maybe start really cooperating with the Human Rights Council it is now set to join, he said..."

Well, there is one simple woyane answer to that.. "when pigs fly.."

May I also add, the whole of Africa could be on HRW and nothing will change. Just saying...

Dear My2cents.

"The republican dominated senate will bury Susan Rice because she deserved it."

I don't think Republican dominate this session of Congress. Democrats have reasonable majority in the Senate to set every agenda that they consider important.As far as nomination of Mrs Susan Rice or any other nominations sent to the Senate for confirmation by the sub comity or by the full Senate depends on the third Senator in a leadership hierarchy of the majority that cooks votes.

Brooks,

You are right, the majority are Democrats but then who cares? What counts is that Republicans have fire in the belly and are passionate about this case. Obama will blink. Even the very subject we are discussing about Ethiopia being elected to U.N's Human Right Council is a testimony to Susan Rice's insider arm wrestling on behalf of her gift-showering friends i.e. Meles, Azeb & Co. You have to give the senior Senators credit for zeroing on Mrs. Rice. Had it not been for her remarks about us, her incompetence would not have come to light as far as we were concerned.

My2cents, aka mr 2 cents brain,... master of copy & paste.

Why don't you stick with your copy & paste business? For your kind of ginbot7 foot soldier, aka the fools and idiots, who cannot think beyond your noses, everything is about getting even with your humilation. You will never forget or die in peace in that matter, as long as that agony of defeat taunting you night and day as long as you live.
I'm sure you'll show us yet again what kind of idiots you people are, when you keep shouting in front of the White House, supporting the republican cause.

@ TEDDY [Visitor]
It is not a Joke you better trust U.N news rather than ESAT....
YES ! YES ! YES ! "ELELELELE !!"
This means Ethiopian Government didn't violate any of the false accusation by Idiots in the diaspora, including their propoganda tool ESAT. By the ways there is also another news ESAT is blocked by Ethiopian Government...

It is a joke. the whole U.N thing. Yes!!! This is what i'm talking about. I think the whole U.N Human rights discourse has its' own purpose. A bunch of liars, i mean impulsive liars, head of states, and their foreign ministers get together in high meeting to sale a joke to their poor citizens thanks to the media we all know by now that nobody cares about human. All they care is about their pockets. They will all leave empty. Don't Foul yourselves.

She appears to be a favorite for the position now. Among her "accomplishments" are going on the cover up tour on National television regarding Benghazi, refusing to intervene in Rwanda due to concerns regarding the election, and refusing to take Osama Bin Laden. Sterling! On top of it all, she refuses to listen to opinions that differ from her own. A great attribute for a diplomat.

Susan Rice was viewed by many officials and diplomats as very bright, but also as inexperienced and inflexible.[19] Rice was considered[by whom?] "young, brilliant, and ambitious." Though she worked to "integrate Africa in the global economy while at the same time aiming to increase U.S. national security,"[2] she was criticized by detractors who considered her "authoritarian, brash, and unwilling to consider opinions that differ[ed] from her own". Reportedly, the young Rice engaged in various disputes involving career diplomats within the State Department's African bureau.[2][6]

At the time of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, Rice reportedly said, "If we use the word 'genocide' and are seen as doing nothing, what will be the effect on the November [congressional] election?" Rice subsequently acknowledged the mistakes made at the time and felt that a debt needed repaying.[20] The inability or failure of the Clinton administration to do anything about the genocide would inform her later views on possible military interventions.[21] She would later say of the experience: "I swore to myself that if I ever faced such a crisis again, I would come down on the side of dramatic action, going down in flames if that was required."[22]

In a 2002 op-ed piece in the Washington Post, former Ambassador to Sudan Timothy M. Carney and news contributor Mansoor Ijaz implicated Rice and counter-terrorism czar Richard Clarke in missing an opportunity to neutralize Osama bin Laden while he was still in Sudan in 1996. They write that Sudan and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright were ready to cooperate on intelligence potentially leading to Bin Laden, but that Rice and Clarke persuaded National Security Advisor Sandy Berger to overrule Albright.[23] Similar allegations have been made by Vanity Fair contributing editor David Rose[24] and Richard Miniter, author of Losing Bin Laden, in a November 2003 interview with World.[25]

While the writings of Carney, Ijaz, Rose and Miniter each claim that Sudan offered to turn Bin Laden over to the US and that Rice was central in the decision not to accept the offer.

I will never hate my people because of ethnicity, language, religion, culture or anything. Some of the
misfortune that happened between some ethnic groups were not because of the intent of those people but because of Woyane regime deliberate evil involvements.

Now Woyane is identified as the true enemy of Ethiopian ethnics, economy, land, culture, religion, language and so on.









addis zemen

aka the lowlife TPLF leba

You couldn’t get rid of your lowlife filthy behavior. You are the prime example of TPLF. Lowlife inept with no useful information but full of slurs, bad behavior and filthy mouths.


You got scared to death when you read about armed oppositions suddenly you become incoherent.

When your evil ringleader Meles died you disappeared from the internet. All Tigres flew out of Ethiopia and went to Europe and the US to hide. You on the other hand disappeared even though you live in the US.

To all/,
Please read the report!!
Ethiopia among those named by ILO as violators of freedom of assembly
ILO | 15 November 2012 |

Dr Susan deserve promotion under this administration because she can contribute good influence better than Ms Clinton so let's be honest and support our good sister. Her experience speak itself.

John Pedo John,
Why don't you leave the selection of Susan Rice to US government and congress? The US has a democratic process to select the next Secretary of State. The subject we discussing is not even about Susan Rice.
Now Do you know what democracy means retard?
No we are not talking about putting tribal dictators in power with "99.6%" vote.

Susan Rice shoud push for arming oppositions in Ethiopia.

She has seen Meles dead after glued to power for 21 years. This is not democracy nor presidency.

So if she believes in Democracy freedom, and equality that where to start. Reject Dictatorships.
