Ethiopian Military-Run Corporation Seeks More Foreign Partners

By William Davison

Business Week

Metals & Engineering Corp., an Ethiopian military-run corporation, said it plans to partner with more foreign companies as it spearheads a government-drive to develop industries in Africa’s second-most populous nation.

METEC, as it’s known, is already working with companies including Alstom SA, Europe’s second-largest power-equipment maker, U.S.-based solar-panel manufacturer Spire Corp. (SPIR) and China Poly Group Corp. on engineering and manufacturing projects. Some of the company’s budding industries, like vehicle-assembly and engineering businesses, may generate more than 20 billion birr ($1.1 billion) of revenue a year, spokesman Michael Desta said in an interview.

“We’re doing this in collaboration” with foreign companies, he said on Feb. 15 in the capital, Addis Ababa. “We want to learn from them.”

Ethiopia is using one of Africa’s largest armies to help develop an economy that grew an average 8.7 over the past five years, according to the International Monetary Fund. The country operates a state-led development model that targets public and private investment in value-adding industries in order to diversify an economy in which agriculture accounts for 46 percent of total output.

The government is in the midst of a five-year plan in which it’s spending 569 billion birr until 2015 on projects including the $5 billion Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, which would be the site of Africa’s biggest hydropower plant.

Military Efficiency
“The military happens to be relatively efficient, disciplined and well-organized to be entrusted with such grand projects,” said Merkeb Negash, a lecturer in political science and international relations at the Department of Governance and Development Studies at Jimma University in Ethiopia.

Ethiopia’s armed forces numbered about 200,000 in November 2011, making it one of the biggest on the continent, according to the website of Global Security, the Washington-based research company. Officers connected with the rebel movement that overthrew the country’s military regime in 1991 dominate senior positions in the government, it said.

Former Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, who ruled Ethiopia for 21 years before he died in August, may have created METEC to give the military a “stake” in the economy, said Merkeb. “Now the military will always defend the system whatsoever,” he said in an e-mailed response to questions on Feb. 6.

Grand Renaissance
The Ethiopian Electric Power Corp. contracted METEC to build the electro-mechanical works for the $5 billion Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile River in partnership with Alstom. The Paris-based company will provide eight turbines and generators for 250 million euros ($333 million) to METEC and commission the plant.

METEC is also building the 50 billion-birr Coal Phosphate Fertilizer Complex Project in Illubabor Zone of Oromia Region for the Privatization and Public Enterprises Supervising Agency, and is the main contractor for the Sugar Corp., a government enterprise that’s building 10 cane plantations and processors nationwide at a cost of about $5 billion, Michael said. The fertilizer project will be transferred to the newly formed Chemical Industry Corp. when it’s finished, he said.

The organization is involved in “priority areas and import-substitution,” Deputy Prime Minister Debretsion Gebremichael, who is responsible for economic coordination, said in a Jan. 23 interview. “They cannot do it by their own so they look for partners, international as well as local. They’re bringing many actors to the picture but at the heart of everything it’s METEC.”

Vehicle Manufacturing
METEC was established in June 2010 with 10 billion birr of capital by grouping nine businesses previously owned by the Defense Ministry, including Dejen Aviation Industry and Gafat Armament Industry, Michael said. Six other industries, including plastic, tractor and vehicle spare-parts manufacturers, were transferred to METEC from the privatization agency and it now operates as many as 75 factories nationwide, Michael said.

METEC is overseen by a board headed by Defense Minister Siraj Fergessa, Michael said. It employs about 13,000 people, including more than 1,000 engineers, he said.

Siraj in September opened a 200 million-birr factory in Modjo, 70 kilometers (44 miles) southeast of Addis Ababa that will make turbines, generators and high-voltage electricity- transmission cables, according to state-owned Ethiopian Radio and Television Agency. A METEC arms factory was opened the same day, it said on its website.

Poly Technologies Plc, part of the Beijing-based China Poly Group, is building truck-assembly plants in Modjo and Bishoftu for METEC, Xinhua reported on Sept. 27.

“In the future we will avoid importing everything but the engine,” Michael said. “Maybe in the future the engine will be produced here.”

A stake for the military could have been a very positive and encouraging for Development of the military and the People whork under it. But. But. but.

But the People who hate and killed and still kill ethiopipans having the Whole stake is a the worst for the majority of Ethioians. And a good reclam for those who engaed in woyaneism.

The good thing is the dictator is dead. At least no Ethiopian would be killed by him directly.

The Money from Ethiopian people is being used to create a company run by the military for the benefit not for the Military but the pockets of WOYANE. It owns 75 companies? Between METEC and EFFORT I am sure there are hundreds of companies. All the money the gets generated from these companies is funneled to the WOYANE BANDAS. Believe me all the truth will come out and when it does the people of Ethiopia will be amazed how much money they stole from the country and how they store the money. I don't think the majority of the opposition even know the depth of their skim. They have fund managers in New York that invest their money under fictitious companies so they don't get tracked. I know for fact one of their fund manager in NY that is investing their money. The individual opened up an investment firm just for that purpose.

Really? The military is in business now?

"..Former Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, who ruled Ethiopia for 21 years before he died in August, may have created METEC to give the military a “stake” in the economy, said Merkeb. “Now the military will always defend the system whatsoever..”

Did that little runt do this so that the military will do what ever to protect its income thereby prolonging woyane rule?

This article just shows the effort the government is making in yet another area, this time the military-indusrial complex.

What they are trying to do is save as much money as possible by producing those parts that can be built at home. There is no doubt that while it will not employ the whole of Ethiopia, it will provide employment for thousands. This means that for every person hired, about 5 will benefit. It also means other companies will have orders to fill (contractors and sub-contractors). It also contributes to the industrialization of the country.

For those of you who are pessimistic, the military engaging in military manufacturing is nothing new in the world. I also prefer this organized, efficient army to run than private business. In most countries in the world including the USA, when the government relies heavily on private companies, the result is that these companies will rob the government blind. I'm sure those of you who lived here in the USA under Clinton, private comapnies with government contracts were charging $ 1.800 for a toilet seat on US military cargo planes.

All military equipment bought from abroad are about 25%-40% more than they actually cost because of middlemen, taxes etc. So this is a smart investment and hopefully we can export parts to other African countries.

@ Woyane Leba:
The list you have put up are all areas where the government has improved.

@ Hagere Ethiopia:
Why are you surprised that the military is in business? Where have you been. Does YETIYIT FABRICA near Mexico Square ring a bell? By the way, I guarantee you the person you call "a runt" is much more intelligent than you. I dare you to deny this.

@Observer:
Empty allegations. Do you have proof? "They have fund managers..."
What else can you tell us. You seem to know so much! I respect you. Please tell me what kind of suits these "Woyane Bandas" like to wear? Please tell us what kind of scotch they drink. You know so many facts.

@Teddy,
the foundation for all this enterprise is laid by Mengistu. Even the late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi has expressed this view in parliament. Actually as far as I know Meles has praised Mengistu twice. First on Mengistu's support for African liberation movements; and second, Mengistu's effort to produce spare parts and light weapons and ammunation in Ethiopia.
Having said that, the present government has taken that effort to a different level. You should learn to give credit when credit is due.

Can you make journey toward solution and development?


It is perplexed for we failed to disentangle ignorance from selfishness. Others fled out from one’s own homeland, felt emotional isolation over a get out of a chance to survive, others were lost for once and all. I feel difficulty to express when I read, heard but rarely saw it. Such individuals and by large political parties (e.g. G-7, OLF, ONLF etc) would recall the aggression that was placed on them and, moreover, was confiscated. These despised parties and individuals work against GEO to give back a rancorous treatments.

Peasants and other people who may not yet get any infliction or brought it are leading their own life and live for their own family. They hope tomorrow is better than yesterday to barely afford living costs.

GEO seem now set up towards developments, and may have a rueful feeling of the past pains. The marked death has gone, but the emotions are none trifling especially for people who lost friends, family and relatives. So the taught is there but the action was whatsoever happened.

I ask GEO, individuals and parties to reunite by extending a generous forgiveness for betterment of an economically poor people. GEO may be expected to give back some properties which belong to others. GEO may also be expected to release political parties and other innocents, to give warrantee of no further prosecution and to waive any judgements against political parties.

The political parties are also expected to contribute in the development of the country (e.g. Dam, Oil etc) and, if they wish, they can also return back to their homeland and lead their life.
Three Questions:

1) Is GEO willing to make reconciliation with all political parties?

2) Are Political parties willing to agree with the GEO willingness?

3) After all, is that really a difficult task to both of you: GOE and political parties to bring a real development rather than to create an endless allegation?

If you people don’t make for yourself and for yours, if you don’t create a simple negotiation, you will simply waste your time, resources and energy, and further, will defame to each others, and will contribute none positive things for the poor.

Woyane Ts!!

What is the differnce between you and the dead pm? He said his Security force did not ask for the price of the bullet which killed the supporters of 2005 election winners.

As every one knows meless WAS a member of tplf. So are you asking the oppositions to ask for forgivness so that tplf would be generous enough to give the forgiveness.

me and you are at different Spectrum of facts and ideology.

I ask you a simple question what the difference between olf and tplf or onlf and tplf. I know exactly the difference between G7 and tplf. G7 won by election and tplf by gun. The two never coexsit. Deep in Your heart you know that. Plus the fact you see on the ground at home which are produced by tplf is a heart breaking one for those who have time and analyse what would be the future when tplf continues like this.

@Tamrat Tamrat

I never associated with a political party. The difference between various political parties are also important, but I assume that making of a reconciliation with the ruling party and fostering of economic development would rather be the most crucial aspect to be focused on. To simplify, I assumed that working with the ruling party to speed up economic development would bring more benefits for everyone, especially for the poor.

I know also that some people may not get an individual benefits but for the poor people it would be tremendous.

I understand about the past pains. I politely asking for reconciliation. I believe all people can be equally treated irrespective of their ethnicity and political affiliations. I also believe that GEO may handover the confiscated properties to the owners.

If opposition parties and GEO may express an idea of reconciliation, it will be easy to forgive to each others. I am just looking a way to resolve things and looking forward for responses from both sides.

Currently this so called corporation is more like a political organization than a business.The corporation Public Relation told me I am not entitled to invest in the corporation because of my Eritrean background.To my surprise it was not until I got my uncle to contact them I started getting favorable responses from the Public Relation(PR). My uncle is an Eritrean and he is not considered as a foreign partner but as one of the founders and stake holders of the military/corporation.The way the PRs plus other managements think need to be checked if this corporation is expected to succeed.

Hi Ts!

what makes you that the non tigre peasnants wouldnt be like tplf People if they raise arms?

must they work like slaves so that to make the jewish like state of tplf?

Must they work like slaves to earn their earning from the suger cane farm of tplf which in the first Place it was their own and forced to move from their land because their land is good for suher cane farming?

How much Money get the federal government from the land of gambella and how much the 300,000 People of gambella get benefits from the federal government`?

Because the federal goverment is mostly made of tigrians, how much Money get the federal goverment from the land of tigray ad how much the 4million of tigre People get in Return form the federal government?

Do you think tplf takes this into concideration and acts swiftly or it swiftly prosecute even the People mention this leave alone who chalenges.

If you follow the Development of tplf through the last 22 years, what tplf is chalenging the rest of the ohter ethnic Groups to Accept its tigrewish state on the behalf ethiopians. My starting point is always statring from 1991 no more inequalities, no more dictatorship (tigre dictator is not more beautifull than other ethnic), more over if what tplf is doing ok, then let all of us do excatly like tplf. May be that is all tplf looking for all these 22 years.

This is the core of the problem, my friend. 1990 South africa's economy, Development was much better than many eurpe countries, that did not stop the poor South africans to firgt for equalities. If all of us participate 100% in the tplf economy system With out opposing, then we are responsible for Our own enslavement. But we are not that dumb.

Compare all People and all region of Ethiopia With tigray. Compare all ethiopians With tigray People. If wha i say is true, then why such grave injustice after 17 years of derg system.

If i am a petty looser, just ignore me you loose nothing.

@Tamrat Tamrat

Indeed we all may have a thinking that if a reconciliation made among all parties (GEO and oppositions) , if there was a significant inequality and/or imbalance, all parties would reconsider things. Sometimes we may even in a puzzle whether there is a significant difference of inequality or even there is nothing much to concern about distribution but having a significant of somethings (e.g. oil, industries, dam etc) to be distributed. These all can be discussed after reconciliation.

But still we can have a believe that a peaceful reconciliation will be a best alternative. That is also a sign of civilization and compromization. For example, a representative from all parties will be enough to make things more manageable and concise for a discussion at a time.

Now let us see an expression of interest from all parties stating that yes we have agenda and yes we can reconcile. From there, things might be handled smoothly. Let us hope and looking forward to see on this forum to express willingness for a discussion in the first stages.

For example, an Embassy of Ethiopia abroad and opposition parties can say that yes we can discuss our difference. Then, a brief agenda and appointment will be set. To start, I look forward a response: yes we can discuss it or not.

The brains behind TPLF have borrowed numereous sinister ideas from a dozen or so sources, from Albania style communism to Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince, from Israel's way of espionage and demolishing houses of enemies to Rwuanda notorious prisons. They device non stop on how to wrong the people they forcefully govern. And it should not be lost on anyone that there was never any war directed on Woeyanes unlike the war against Eritrea secessionists.

Abyssinian,

I was not referring to teyet fabrika wizerit, I was talking about the 75 businesses under the military, the intentional transferring of companies to the military corp so that they will protect their interest.. not care much about the leaders. Meles made this happen so that the military will not topple him, his replacement. I am not surprised you missed that. Anyhow, I do have proof about why Meles is a RUNT but if you do not know that, then you are a woyane choosing not to see what he done. I should have expressed it in a way you would see where I am coming from.. I do apologize. I should have told you that he was ye shabia gered, anti Ethiopia and a hater of those who stood for the unity of the people, he was a man who told us Ethiopia is 100 years old, made up by the Amhara, as does ISayASS, he also told the UN Asab is not Ethiopian, he told us our flag is a piece of cloth, he puts ethnic groups against each other, he wiped out all other political parties in the country. Stole the election and killed 198 people, he jailed anyone who speaks up... shall I go on? If at all, I should have called him that dirty little RUNT who is so evil he is stinking up hell. Would that do for you? Im sure by now yo know I'm one of the happiest this asswipe kicked the bucket, bite the dust, is worm feed is... well I can go on and on.. about the hate I have to that particular runt, among the many who are left, which I hope will follow him soon. Satan is waiting.

The referance to ethnicity, more percisely, ethnic hate, drives more hate TEDDY. You can not accuse all Tigre of being tplf. Tplf may drive its major support form the ethnic base, but.. not for long. What you guys are doing here is giving Tplf more play ground. The attack should remain political if we are to get anywhere.. the way you guys are going, it looks like.. Somalia or even Rwanda, is not far off in our future.

"..nail on the head, I would have react like Tiframuma Faraw Gondere Teddy.."

**..and many other woyanes who should explain what their beef is with Gongere? Oh hey its Amhara.. Meles, job well done:

The fact that the leading political party is Tplf, can and will be overcome if Ethiopians stand united. To my Tigre friends, Meles was wrong. Ethiopia has been around for thousands of years and Eritrea as part of Ethiopia. SO, don't fall for the Shabia bull which is supported by woyane that We colonized the province.

My Amhara friends, this has nothing to do with the people but the Tplf organization. We are all equally Ethiopians.. the empty rhetoric fed to the people over two decades should be easy to reverse so long as we all look to the same end. We can not allow Meles and co., to destroy what took centuries to build.

Be nice to one another, ethnically. But go ahead and bash it out when it comes to political points of view...

Just saying!

Hi Ts

You fail to answers the question.

Relax for a while, think thorughly the militar, political most of all the economical advantage tigra and tigrains entertained for the last 22 years.

Assume all the states have achived this. Do you think the number of non tigre People consumed by tplf would be the same?

Unfotunaltely after shamelessly building tigray and tigrians (what you see in addis is owned by tigrians or tplf)the already started machinary needs more Money than even yeasterday leaving the rest of us more misery to suck quick Money for the needed tigrians develompent progrm. You oppese this you end up in prison under the low of terrorism for creating ethnic havoc according to woyanes.

Do you agree tplf economical polisy to continue?

Do you agree People for comparing tigray and tigrians With the rest of ethnic states and People og to jaile under the Law of terrorism

Do you agree the military is dominated by tigrians

Do you agree Our pariliament has only one opposition member like in the first election of tplf.

Do you agree while 12% of us have electriciy that we have to export elec.

Do you agree that tpld sits in Power for more than a quarter of a Century.

the list is long, but Your answer shows if there is some genuinity remains in you. tplf members dont have this. the starting point was to kill the DONKYES with the coopoeration of shabai. but shabia is now under scrutiny and in short time it will fall, and more truth will come out.

I have expressed a compromising procedures if there is mistakes. That is, first, a reconciliation of all parties irrespective of what was good and bad including what you detailed above: the pains, economic policy, financing, rule of laws, power and members composition and duration, and distributional issues of electricity.

If all parties are happy for a reconciliation, every developmental activities will be smooth in a civilized style.

Hagere Ethiopia ,To TEDDY is afterall the Shabyan Ass Hole ,the Fake Ethiopian Patriot ,the Amice
Nazret.com Intruder Adgi (AZ as you used to say ).Unable to confront those challenging him ,he usually used such kinds of nicknames to infect Free Forum Of Discussion .The likes of Beza ,Hyena ,Extraterrestre and Co. are simply Agazi DJELLES sent by Adgiforum gangs and Tigre Mafiosis settled in US with fake status of Diplomats and Businesmen .Their hates against Gondar Peoples is clear ,the main reason is that Patriots as Tamagne Beyene ,Shambel Belayneh ,Abebe Gellaw and Abebe Bellaw are from this Region .Secondly ,they are fearing to loose the Fertile lands of Humera
and Wolkaite Tegede their Dead leba master has stolen by making settled Tigrai Peasants after deplacing local peoples even commiting crimes of Ethnic Cleansing ,Waldeba Monastery Monks are also their other Headache .Third they consider most of the Anti Agazi movements ,without TDM and ARDU),operating in the area ,Fighters are Gonderes .Their hiiden Agenda of giving Fertile Farm Lands to El Beshir and also their usual Dream of Creating Talaku Tigrai ,makes them angry and put them in total depression ,when patriots as Tamagne ,Shambel ,Abebe Gellaw and also Abebe Belew are heroically challenging them .They consider because of these Heroic Guys,their evil project of Desmanteling Ethiopia shall soon b more and more deprecated .These are the resons ,why ,Nazret.com's : Bereket Simon (Adgi /AZ for the fews of you ),Gush aberra (Beza/besbassaw),Mimi Sebehattu (Hyena) ,Shimeles Kemal (Extraidiot)
and Agazi_Amice DJELLES are daily barking .

Why these people from eritrea pay atention to much cases in Ethiopia. You people do not have other jobs? Why are you such jelous?
I do not understand this. But I think eritreans are the biggest lunatics in this world.
I have heard that Prezident eritrea send his troops to djibouti for fight with the local troops of Djibouti, and during this time prezident Isayas went to djibouti for Vacation.
Please explain it to me. Why are those lunatics doing shit things?

TEDDY,

I hear you.. loud and clear. I know AZ and other woyane FOOLS & MORONIC IDIOTS, do use different tags to dilute the issue, to distract people from focusing on the relevant. I know they hate Amhara, I know they hate the Ethiopia that kept the people together with out ethnic borders. I know, really. But.. identifying others as a Tigre, Gondere, Gurage, Oromo.. etc, in a derogatory, ethnically biased way and is wrong no matter how right you may be.

So, based on the fact that we all believe to be equally Ethiopian, we shall never use such terms even if the rogue woyane, here and back home, provoke it. We should rise above the petty division they dish out day in and day out, overcome their divide and conquer technique and not become part of it or be a victim of it. You, my bro.. have to look beyond Tplf and its thugs. A few who lead @ arat kilo and their opportunist dogs are not representing the whole Tigre people. They are there just for the money and power to keep their interest, their bank accounts full and to make sure Ethiopians do not unite. They have their draconian laws and the Fed Police to intimidate back home and their thugs else where, to continue to disrupt healthy and beneficial discussions that may affect them. You see, if we unite against them.. they know they are done.

That's my take on the whole matter of ethnic division as set by Tplf.

Good day!

Bottom line the ammunition made in
Ethiopia when its fired will only explode
back into yourself, yea woyane better
seek foreign assistant.

Don't try to be too sophisticated, we heard
about the drone and now the ammunition
next one will be telling us they are enriching
nuclear bomb facility. Propaganda is a true
lie.

In one of Ethiopian Radio show which belongs to Mimi Sebhatu, she was discussing about the celebration of the Armed Forces day. She said "The modern Army is the best of the best due to its core establishment as woyane and developed its self within the last 21 years!" As we all know her well enough she herself as woyane stooge and opportunist, she was full of lies. The Ethiopian Army has a very long history more than she can imagine. King Theodros was among the first to organize an Army and then during the King Haile Selassie we had the best trained military leaders who had been taking part in Korea and Congo wars. During the derg we had the most strong army, but without proper command. By the way it was the same Ethiopian Army who being fed-up of the derg regime without knowing what the future holds joined and supported this woyanes to enter the capital. When they stepped into Addis they were just normal bandits who had no rule and no management know how. Now, they brag about the modern army! ignoring the true history will make no change, but the time comes when those who present themselves as modern and strong army will not finding a hiding place.

Amoraw [Visitor],

Very well, said.
I'm sure its not too late to change.. but I'm betting we are bound to see history repeat itself... again and again because dictators do not hear, see or feel no one else but their grandness!

Dear Readers! (Ethiopians)

Starting from the so called General! Samora down to almost all the majority woyane officers, hardlly you can find one who is properly dressed with a military uniform. As they simply commissioned themselves from an ordinary bandit to become colonels, generals overnight they even have no ordinary military training to look sharp and elegant. One thing what most of them are good at is shoot-to kill which is basic bandit exercise. Shabby and disgusting to see them parading and call themselves as the Ethiopian Armed Force! Well, time will tell one day how such catastrophe happened to my beloved country of valor s!
