Nazret is the only medrek where weane buchloch talk about personality rather than opinions. Nazret shall discard any comment which is not about the article rather about the writer. They are not educable. They are really in illusion they have no idea what is going on. They are still stuck in the 80's and 90's mentality. Even OLF has taken its lesson and changed its course. Come on guys be updated, watch ESAT and be informed..ETHIOPIAWINET IS COMING BACK, UNITY IS COMING BACK..WE ARE SAYING HUMANITY BEFORE ETHNICITY...NO ONE IS FREE UNLESS WE ALL ARE FREE..Do u know what Obang Metho is doing? Do you know what Meaza Biru is doing? Do u know what Balageru idol is doing? do u know what ODF(Oromo Democratic front) is doing? Do u know what Daniel Kibret is doing? what Tamagn beyene is doing? What Sisay Agena is doing? they all are reviving UNITY and ETHIOPIAWINET....EXPOSING WEYANE'S EVIL PLAN FOR eTHIOPIANS LESS TIGRAY..You guys don't have their caliber. Even non-weyane EPRDF parties have seen it....stay tuned. Ask urself this :'How ESAT got all those information before ETV?"..
People who hate Prof. AlMariam and the diaspora are TIGRE'S. Nothing more to say! They are either diaspora Tigre, dumb cadre or some KERSAM EPRDF supporter. All they want us is watch ETV and listen to the propaganda of TPLF. It won't be upsetting if these toxic minorities support this government based on work and performance. No wonder why many of my people(OROMO) never care about their divide and rule policy and compaign against Amharas. At least during the past administration, there were more Oromos, and Gurages, in the Army command and leadership. The DEAD HYENA Meles's system created where ethnic Tigre's head almost all the federal offices, dominate the military, dominate the trade and dominate the CORRUPTION. They call anyone who oppose government Amhara even if the person is a muslim Oromo from Arsi. "Mognena woreket yeyazewun aylekim newu yemibalew"? This AMHARA BLAME GAME is one way of keeping Oromos and other groups calm and forget about TPLF atrocities against 95% other Ethiopians. Today, we have countless Oromo political prisoners and no single outstanding Oromo official. Haha yegermal eko...I see why many of my Oromo friends prefer not to be called Ethiopian. Koy who is ZEREGNA? We all know that the day it TPLF collapse those woyanes will be excuted publicly.
GOD BLESS ETHIOPIA!
AVOID THESE TOXIC MINORITIES SUFFERING FROM INFERIORITY COMPLEX!!
Bitew Marcos:
You said right when you said "Most assertions are not supported by facts. Who reads all this garbage? Such a waste of his time. Instead of sitting in a far away land and throwing out insults, why not do scholarly research and writing, supported by facts that will result in progress?". Bingo!!! If is done scholarly, it should be supported with facts and evidence not with hearsay. As a lawyer, Al Mariam knows hearsay is not admitted to court as evidence. I rest my case.
This does not mean there is corruption in Ethiopia, but it existed even during Haile Selassie's regime. The nation has to raise the level of conscious to eradicate corruption. Corruption is less in industrialized nations. Corruption is prevalent in developing nations and nations who are transitioning to democracy such as east block nations. Of course, it is big struggle to eradicate corruptions.
I want also to mention about World Bank report which I wrote to refute Al Mariam's assertion. This document is about 450 pages and some corruptions WB reported is not as if it happened. WB details the conditions various subjects and it says that the situation might create corruption. It does not mean WB detected or saw corruption. It can go either way. Read the WB report for yourself and it is not limited for scholars only!
Al Mariam, can you give us a detail report about the corruption among expats? They are also Ethiopians. Your eyes will water, when nose is hit.
At last, Nazret has a right to publish Al Mariam's blog. This is democracy at work otherwise banning his article is a democratic journalism.
The writer has a point but from a different perspective. It's true that the education system is bad and must be changed, but I would still send my children to somalia, ethiopia or even south sudan rather than to any college in the US where, technically speaking, a student and adminstration, not the teacher, assign a grade for themselves, and nearly every second graduate claims GPA of 4 but doesnt qualify for even a D in Europe or Africa. I do hope "customer service" has not hit ethiopia. Not, yet.
The writer missed to take into account the more troubling issue of wayane's Ethnic Education policy that they borrowed from past regimes, namely, systematically and disproportiontely dismissing or filtering students from ethnic groups they have trouble with, in particular oromos, from Science, Medical, Engineering and law schools, under various pretexts. Unless they are claiming that the "jegna" tigres are also more intelligent than everyone else or others didn't want to go colleges, no amount of logic justifies why 50% of AAU students are Tigres and 10% oromos 15%. Counting universities has meaning only for wayanes when they educate on policy of ethnic cleasing of oromos, and possibly others, even in those ,suposedly, acadamic facilities.
Alemayoh G. Mariam is one of those bulling individuals that they would do all kind of barking to intimidate people, but most of the time they failed to release that their actions or behaviors are perceived in the the society as mad dogs that would barks nonstop to disturb peace of the sociaty...LOL. Shame on this man that he claims to be an educated, but his weekly trashy acrtcles indicated as been written by an ignorant man...
For whom is he actually writing? For himself as a therapy from some kind of trauma??
Nazret must we read this? From the majority of the comments I see that this writer has only few followers and most reader feel just abused by the unmannered
writting of this person. It is neither educational nor entertaining nor brings new solutions or analyses to some problems. Critisisim just for the sake of it, is just worthless. Nazret please stop abusing your readers!!
What profaneness would do to you is to unveil the deep rooted rage and hatred that is entrenched in you as has been vividly seen in the many comments you write on this site. We can have different points of views on many issues, but if your choice of expressing your opinion is by using vulgar and inappropriate language, I find it pointless to reply to your disrespectufl comment pointed at me.
We can always disagree but at the same time be able to debate and share varied opinions courteously.
İs this man still writing? Plz Nazret, don't late readers stop reading your site. Nobody reads his so called 'article' because of the following reasons:
1. Too long and boring to read all.
2. Full of hates and false propogandas. İs he really professional? İf so,.have you read any positive things he wrote other than the false criticisms
3. Now most readers can guess what his 'article' is about and they jump it without reading...
4. Plz don't make us bored!!!
Thank you. We who wish all good for our country must stand united to raise our voices against all malicious individuals like Alemayehu Gebre Mariam who have no interest other than trying to do harm to Ethiopia by spreading vicious and unfounded stories with prime intent to gratify their own selfish political ends.
I do not know whether your comment that I don't sound Ethiopian means that I am not an Ethiopian by birth or my comments do not sound coming from an Ethiopian but at the same time you approve that "I sure know the details of Ethiopia"(your words). It is because I am an Ethiopian by birth that I know details about my country.
All governments that have come and gone have always disliked the idea of a dam being constructed on the river Nile which may hold true for the present government too. But this present Egyptian government has NOT in any official statement said that it would declare war against Ethiopia if the dam was to be constructed so I do not know where you got the idea of going to war with Egypt.
For your information the right on the river Nile that was granted to Egypt by the colonial power was nulled by all riparian countries so it would be detrimental for Egypt to go against the interest of all the riparian coutries. In fact, Egypt would benefit more from the Hidase Gidib than engaging itself in opposing the construction of the dam. So your postulation that "promoting the Nile Dam only to bring war into the country"(your words) is utterly baseless.
I don't have a lot to say,I just want to say thank you and proud of having people like you.In order to understand the feature we have to learn from the past,and that is why I said thank you. Our beloved country and proud people happy to hear that.
Kena Keb and co. Moron FIDABs ,here are then your so called Great Achievements from your Great Leader on the Field of the Education Systems . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nEcl4E17S0
I feel sorry for those students who fork >$20K/Year student loan to listen to this man's lectures'. Anyway, UC San Bernadino ? I did not even know they have a UC campus there.
Mr. Professor, Where are you getting all these informations? you are living in the United States, you are teaching in California State University and practicing Law in California. who is your source of informations? You are writing this garbage as if you have a first hand knowledge. How dare you look down on the teachers in Ethiopia who are working so hard to make a difference in the life of Ethiopian youth. So many of these professors earned their educations in Ethiopia, some of them retuned back after receiving their educations abroad. These teachers had the opportunity to remain abroad but they chose to go back because they know Ethiopia and the people of Ethiopia are counting on them. How dare you start telling us these teachers falsified documentations? You have been writhing a lot of nonsense in the past. Now you turned your pen to criticize the teachers. Wow Mr. Professor. Mr. Educated man. It is one thing to oppose the current government. But spreading such outrageous acquisitions about Ethiopian Educators is very low even for you.
By the way what about you? why are you practicing law while lecturing in California State university? Do you need extra money? If so What is unethical with the teachers in Ethiopia wanting to make extra money by doing tutoring on the side?
It might as well be the Misadminstration of our homeland by the Dictators!!
The misappropriation of all the funds from the tax-paying poor Ethiopian citizen is the right way of showing the "true but sad" reality in our Ethiopia.
1- Aid in the name of nation stolen by the TPLF members.
2-Loan in the name of our nation diverted to the TPLF thugs account.
3-The poor citizen's tax money misappropriated in the name of budget for various government sectors(The ministry of education is one example)
4-The selling of land to a foreign entity and taking the money
FidabAdgi it's not a secret to anyone, first of all to the Agazi Donkeys like you ,that Degrees and Diplomats are distributed not for the skill of the student but for being member of the Ruling Parti .Today EPRDF membership card suffice to obtain Batchelor ,Mastrate even PHD into Agazi Fake Universities .What is laughable is that Agazi Bandits dare
to send their underqualified Fake Scholars for Scholarship in Famous World Universities and Institutions .
Most of the Times sent back home for
lack of capacities of following even
at the level of Fresh Course .I invite you to ask your goat herder fake officers that how many of them
did have a chance to graduate from
well known Military Academies like
Sandhurst ,Saint Cyr ,West Point .For
your Information ,plenty during the Eras of Haile Selassie ,but very few
and worst even none actually . The greatest Joke is the fake Minister of education ,Deneze Mekonen was in Washington DC to defend the Gordon Brown 's proposal appealing the World Bank to make more investment on the Field of Edication . A moron
unable to watch with his own eyes that Ethiopian Kids are more and more surviving on cities streets or farming works even victims of SLAVERY than attending Schools .And the future of those having the chance
to graduate from Universities and Higher Education Institutions ,is no more as "COBLESTONE" worker or risking their lives in Exile .By the way tomorrow May 15 th "GINBOT 7" is the day we commomerate into which a Free and Democratic Election was for the first time held in the country .Unfortunatly sabotage by the Bandit Agazis ,the Aderby Bandas and Tigre Mafiosis . A Missed Opportunity to the Dead Crime Minister actually remenbered as the Butcher of May and November 2005 .A missed historical Occasion to the Ethiopian Peoples for National Reconciliation and the establishement
of a Democratical Process .This day shall remember for ever ,and we will
not forget all the heros who had fallen for the rise of a Free and Democratic Society and for the Dawn of a New Era .May almighty God bless
their souls .ETERNAL GLORY TO OUR MARTYRS !!!!
VIVA FREE AND UNITED ETHIOPIA !!!!
YE HIZB MIRTCHA YEKEBER !!!
YE HIZB DIMS YESEMA !!!!!
