The 31st anniversary of the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) was observed here Sunday in the presence of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi and higher government officials as well as members of the business community that support the party.

President Girma Wolde-Giorgis and over 1,500 members of the Front and partner organizations also attended the celebration at the Sheraton Addis where statements indicating the bitter struggle the party had waged to ensure peace and democracy in the country with the peoples of Ethiopia were read.

FYI
According to Forbes Magazine March 2006 Issue Mohamed Al-Amoudi is the 77th Richest man in the World. Number 1 in Africa and Number 4 in Middle East/Africa.

Speaking on the occasion, Chairman of TPLF, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi underscored the unwavering commitment of the Front to eliminate poverty and ensure the prevalence of democracy and good governance across the country despite the changes in the form of the struggle.

Meles said the war at hand is against poverty and the weapons are businessmen and investors who could play crucial role in the fight. The Prime Minister Meles pledged to stand along them and urged them to show courage.

Deputy Chairman of TPLF, Foreign Minister Seyoum Mesfin said on his part that the mystery behind the success of TPLF were its genuine cause, and the ability to mobilize the public to its causes as well as the commitment of its disciplined combatants that steadfastly stand for the principles of the party.

"Speaking on the occasion, Sheik Mohammed Al-Amoudi said supporting the EPRDF, which ensured peace and democracy in the country and elected by the public [sic], would be standing up for peace and development. He said he would therefore support such a government and give his life".

Seyoum said eradicating poverty and backwardness is much more complex and difficult than scoring victory in war and called upon the public to provide its full support in the fight against poverty.

Over 9.6 million birr was donated by members and party supporters as well as businessmen on the occasion. Of the stated sum, 5.5 million birr was donated by the business tycoon Sheik Mohammed Hussein Al-Amoudi and family to strengthen the party.

Speaking on the occasion, Sheik Mohammed Al-Amoudi said supporting the EPRDF, which ensured peace and democracy in the country and elected by the public, would be standing up for peace and development.

The business tycoon said that he vividly recalls and never forgets what the government of EPRDF stated when it first told him to invest in Ethiopia as this is his country. He said he would therefore support such a government and give his life. This partisanship also applies to my family, he underlined.

Viva Alamoudi

Only people like Alamoudi are the hope for the real progress in Ethiopia. It is action that is badly needed to make poverty history. The lies and blackmails by the distgrantled members of the x-ruling systems should not discourage you. Move forward you always be remembered by future generations as their father who transformed the nation.

As to the dogs, just let them bark. They ain't worth paying attention. They will stop when they get tired.

We know now who Alamudin is. He is the main financer of the child and women killers in Ethiopia. He deceived us for many years and now we know who he is. Very soon he will be kicked out and go where he came from. Those who collaborate with child killers are not different from the perpetrators.

Rich people may infuelence, but will not change history.I think the Shek is comparing Meles to Prince Abdallah of Saudi when he talked about democracy.I understand he is a good invester and asset for Ethiopia, I wish he keeps silence and does his buisness.When ever he speaks he further burns our wound.

alamudin made it clear to us at axum airport when he departed a plane wearing a T-shirt with a bee on it. We all know "bee" is the sign of the murderer meles zenawi who in his killing spree killed 7 and 12 years old children. alamudin pretended to be patriotic Ethiopian for a long time, finally he exposed his own true color by wearing the "bee" T-shirt, and again supporting a treasonous anti-Ethiopia party like tplf/eprdf says volumes about him. Our people must continue to avoid alamudin and his products up until the illegal regime of meles zenawi that stole the peoples vote in broad day light is removed from power.

All I am saying is live our beloved son alone; you mess with (Mohamed Hussein) You is messing with yeju . He is not the maker or the breaker of Ethiopian politics he is a businessman, and all is business. Love Him & he is the only resource we have, The other son & doters of Mother Ethiopia took her money and run out of the country, Instead The beloved SON (Mohamed Hussein) brought his Owen money in to the country. You need to see far, and ask your self what has been done once he came to Ethiopia not what happen in one day or two. also even if he make any mistake he should be judge in Ethiopian court , I think we have learned innocent till proven guilty. Thanks!!!

IS GEORGE BUSH NOT AMERICAN?

DON'T DEMOCRATS SHOP IN REPUBLICAN'S BUSINESS.

ISN'T THE PERSON WHO HELPED CLINTON ELECTED MARRIED TO THE PERSON WHO HELPED BUSH BECOME A PRESIDENT?

IF WE KNOW DERGUE WAS NOT AMHARA PEOPLE WHY CNA'T WE ADMIT EPRDF IS NOT TIGREAN PEOPLE???

WHY CAN'T I CRITIZES CUDP, IF THEY STAND FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH???

ARE THERE NOT OROMOS, HARARIS, GURAGEAS, SOUTHERN PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTED THE RULING PARTY? NOT EVEN ONE? ARE THEY NOT ETHIOPIAN TOO???

WHY ARE WE SO BLIND TO SEE THAT THE ISSUE HAS BECOME A WAR BETWEEN AMHARA AND TIGREA???

WHERE ARE WE GOING???

For all of you

Mohammed Al-Amoudi makes a correct decision. since he is muslim and all muslims in ethiopia have in this government more rights than bevor. So that is the reason why Mohammed Al-Amoudi helps EPRDF.

Ethiopia neglegts in its history the rights of muslims. Now Mohammed Al-Amoudi shows you the solution. All muslims in ethiopia follows Mohammed Al-Amoudi.

Thanks Mohammed Al-Amoudi, you are a true ethiopian and muslim. You show the correct way that a muslim in ethiopia shall go.

What is interesting is Al-Ammoudi is financing every terorist organization including TPLF.A year ago he was accused here in the United States as one of the people who made financial contribution to terorist Organization.He himself is a sympetizer of every terorist organization.I hope the day will come when he will be held accountable for his crimes.When that day arrives we will send him back to where he came from,Saudi Arabia.He is a Saudi citizen exploiting the people of Ethiopia with the mass murderer Meles Zenawi.

Yoni,

If you want us to believe all Tigrean are not for EPRDF why don't we see or hear any Tegrea that do not support speaking out. If all are not for EPRDF then some could be with CUD or southern peoples party or any other party they can come up with. If you are not for CUD that doesn't mean you have to be with EPRDF. Do you believe in strong Ethiopia and you want what is good for Ethiopia then you should not support any one that is trying to divide by ethnicity and race. If you believe in that, either you are a fool or naive.

Also, please don't compare US with Ethiopia at any level or situation. Ethiopia is not at the level US was even in the 1850s. Do you know how many universities where there in America in the 1870s hundreds. How many do we have now 5? So, save your example for some thing else.

Observer,
You are the most ignorant and ill-informed participant in this forum. When you say Ethiopia has just 5 universities you must be referring to what you left when you were chased out as an Esepa cadre 15 years back. Ethiopia now has 12 big universities and dozens of private university colleges. And 13 state universities are under construction. Remember, the Neftegna governments built only 5 universities in hundreds of years. But EPRDF has more than tripled it in less than 15 years.

On a political note,you said Yoni will be the fool of all the fools if he supports EPRDF that you think is divisive. I guess you are entitled to your opinion but that is only yours. Millions of other Ethiopians think that only EPRDF stands for the real unity based on equality. The fact that you are trying to ridicule those who don't fit with your political views shows how stupid you are.

Long Live Ethiopia.

Here is to you baby! From one corrupted leader to another.The following was posted on People's Daily online.

Nigerian president says to send teachers to Ethiopia

Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has agreed to consider a request from Ethiopia for more university teachers from his country, his spokeswoman Oluremi Oyo said on Tuesday.

The president made the pledge in the capital Abuja when he received the outgoing Ethiopian ambassador in Nigeria Yohannes Guinda-Ginbi, Oyo said in a statement.

The statement quoted the president as telling the outgoing ambassador that the request would be considered under the Technical Aid Corp (TAC), through which the country was assisting sister African and Caribbean countries.

The outgoing ambassador said that his country was making a fresh request for 671 university lecturers in addition to the 31 already serving there. He was quoted as saying that the additional request was to cater for the new universities being opened.

Obasanjo also said that the country would send "some experts on cassava" to assist Ethiopia, which had suffered food shortages as a result of incessant drought.

Obasanjo said that Nigeria had "very good relations" with Ethiopia and stressed the need for all African countries to do "a critical self-analysis if we are to get to where we should be."

He suggested that the two countries improve trade relations with each other with Nigeria buying meat and leather products in exchange for Nigerian products.

I don't know if most of you do read the comments on the AF blog, if you do, we have a very clear understanding of each other not to respond to child killers, thugs and and hodams. What are you going to change by talking to people who believe in prolonging the life of a criminal family by any means including killing of kids, wives and innocent people? You only talk to rational people, people who opppose killings, torture and unjust jailings and etc...and not to sub humans who are getting paid to kill, torture, spy on others and more. For god's sake, these people call the master of a child killer talented.

would it not be better that we invest our time on the struggle to get rid of the tyrant and his killer cadres?

Ethiopia is ripe to become the next Iraq...a country destroying itself from the inside out. In this case, Bush or Blair taking over the country would probably be a welcome sight.
Wait Ethiopians!!!!!! Please don't misunderstand or twist my words. The point is .....what else will you do? CUD MEMBERS ROT IN PRISON, Zenawi wines and dines while Ethiopians starve in their own filth and everybody else looks helplessly. Run these Woyanes out of the country before Ethiopia becomes another Middle Eastern Al Quaida training camp.The man that could help you is willing to die for TPLF.

Dear tplf-ites
When tplf celebrated its 31st anniversary, I want members to look at what happened to their comrade, Seye abreha, in the hands of meles and the network and face the music.

"...On his 5th court appearance in 10 days, the Federal First Instance Court decided to release Ato Seeye Abraha on bail. It was on Friday, June 8, 2001, around 3:30 p.m. in the afternoon... Ato Seeye came out of the court jubilant and clearly victorious. He was received with jubilant chorus and acclamation from the crowd. Before he was guided into the police Land Rover that would take him back to his cell; he made, brief remarks to the effect of:

"I am not a thief, I have not stolen a dime from my country. But I did quarrel with the Prime Minster over issues of paramount significance both to my people and my beloved country...."
"...By about 5:00 p.m. Friday, 8 June 2001, i.e. few hours after the court decision was given, Ato Seeye's lawyers arrived at the gate of the Central Investigation Bureau with the release warrant in their hands, but to no avail, for the officials were nowhere to receive the warrant and release Ato Seeye. Then followed the weekend of June 9-10, 2001. Monday morning, June 11/2001, instead of signing the release warrant, the officials of the CIB appealed(!) to the Federal High Court against the ruling of the Federal First Instance Court. The Federal High Court endorsed the ruling and instructed the CIB to release Ato Seeye. The officials at the CIB instead of obeying the orders of the courts, appealed to the Prime Minster himself;

which resulted in an immediate amendment to the 15 days old anti-corruption law. Monday afternoon, a one-page amendment was directly sent to the printing press from the PMO.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was neither reviewed by the Council of Ministers nor signed by President Negasso Gidada. A copy of the "amendment" was also sent to the then Minster of "Justice" Werede Wold Woldie with instructions to present it to the parliament by Tuesday morning, which he obeyed happily.

Tuesday morning, when the parliament was supposedly deliberating on the draft amendment, it was already printed on the Negarit Gazetta, being effectively law as of the same date and hour on June 12, 2001.

At noon the same day it was read out on the national radio.

"The house of representatives today amended the anti-corruption law it endorsed on May 24/2001. Accordingly:-
(a)Persons suspected of corruption shall have no right to bail, and
(b)Corruption cases shall be seen by specially designated courts."

I am soliciting for people who really believe in EPRDF to contribute more money we accept visa, MC, Amex and personal check. But we do not accept from rotten CUD fans, because most of it is stolen money and they do not really believe in democracy. Sorry CUD's

Dear Dr. Alamoudi;

Thanks a lot for your unwavering effort to the development of our country. Please disregard the comments from short sighted CUD fanatics. They should do the same if they really believe in their party and struggle. But I believe most use their opposition to justify the low life they are immersed in. Think Ethiopia and its peoples.

Yoni,

you said "THE ISSUE HAS BECOME A WAR BETWEEN AMHARA AND TIGREA???"

Do you know why that is because TPLF stands for Tigrian peoples liberation front not Ethiopian peoples liberation front. The other thing you are wrong is it is not between Tigrea and Amhara it is between Tigreans and Ethiopian. If you don't understand what I mean by that is between people who stand for the whole Ethiopia and between people who stand only for the advancement of Tegrea only. Some one who is a member of TPLF can't say he represent the whole of Ethiopia. I have to spell it like this for you so you can understand. You just simply comment with out fully understanding what your saying. What makes you think CUD represents AMHARA only? Who told you CUD is only one party? Who told you we are all for CUD? All we want is the any one who is fairly elected to be in power. You can support criticize EPRDF or CUD anyone one else, that is your choice. No one said you couldn’t. What you do not understand or having problem to grasp is we are not criticizing EPRDF because we just simply hate it for the sake of hating; it is because they are not elected by the people, and they are in power because they carry guns. Can you articulate for me why you support EPRDR, if you do support them? Didn't you try to preach me about democracy earlier, as being a state of mind? Why don't you tell me the democratic aspect of the EPRDF government?

Don't simply write; write from a simple starting point. I understand where your starting point is. You starting point is freedom of speech. You want people to criticize any one they want with out being characterized as supporter of this group or that group. You are absolutely rite. No one is arguing about that. But, the problem is where your starting point is. You starting point should be not free speech to support who you want to support, in stead it should be is there freedom of speech in Ethiopia? Is the government legally elected government? If you start from these points there will be no ambiguity who is for Democracy and Ethiopia and who is not. Don't simply write, for just to do so because you will make your self look silly.

But I sill love you too.

Who hell are you to tell that any way? Don't use Oromo name to say nasty thing here, okay? I know you are Naftagna Amhara. That is why you are against him. Sheik Mohammed Al-Amoudi is not outsider. He is one of us. Remember, he has his own people too, at least by his mother's side. Me as Oromo, don't agree with his political activities but he has every right to make his voice heard. I am his supporter too one way or the other. He is a great business man. Thrust me, he knows what he is doing. The sheik is making his 99% investment in Oromia region, he knows it is the safest place to do businesses. We know for sure, his business will not be affected for his voice or participation in Ethiopian politics even if the current ruling party disappears. We the majority ethnic group: Oromo people are not against him because of his political activities. He is a good businessman. And we know he is under a lot of pressure. He is trying to do his best to improve our country's economic situation. We know that he is not a perfect person by any means but he is doing his best to improve things down there. So don't come here and insult our respectful businessman. Don't cry like wolf too. You got nothing to offer any way. He is not doing business in your region too. He don't have any valuable resource in your region. We know that Naftagnas are loosers! They are greedy selfish people.

If Sheik Alamoudi doesn't pour his money into Woyane's acount,he wouldn't survive. After all dictators cuddle with wealthy men not because of their political stand (ofcourse they are ignorant of politics) but to suck their money thereby using them for the sole purpose of propaganda. On the other hand wealthy men stick with dictators not because they are genuine in their support of the dictators but to have insurance against possible confisication of their wealth and secure their comfort zone. In both cases when the time comes, the end of the honeymoon between the two would be tragic and wealth accumulated would be wealth dispersed. It is part and parcel of life.

Brave Ethiopians are here and there. You remember Atse Tewodros but not other ethiopians of that time. Alamoudi is just like that and you like the others. He contributed a lump sum of money to TPLF. But count your money you collected to strengthen CUD. It only buys one way ticket to visit your street duruyes. Even you don't have any rich guy who can contribute more than $100 dollar. They are all thiefs and they don't let their money either to contribute for development or to buy more bombs. Sad to become poor and barking is as your hobies.

I see some confusion planted on some peoples mind by the ethnic politics of Woyanie. (I personally don’t think that ethnic poletics is an answer for Ethiopia though I believe that nationalism is not wrong by itself).
My point is to tell you that Every Tigrian is not the supporter of the bloody Woyanie.
I would also like to tell you that CUD is a party not based on any Ethnic group. It’s a party that stood for individual’s right. Therefore if you are a supporter of CUD, you should not see people in terms of groups. Otherwise you are contradicting the very principle of the CUD. CUD believes that Ethiopia belongs to every one from every ethnic group.

Dear yoni,

You have raised an insightful questions.

As far as the blind CUD supporters are concerned YES "IF YOU DID NOT VOTE for CUDP - you are ANTI-ETHIOPIA”.

That is their interpretation of DEMOCCRACY- hence there is no surprise they insult Mohammed Al-Amoudi.

However, if Mohammed Al-Amoudi was raising funds for CUDP - He i.e. Mohammed Al-Amoudi will be praised as the TRUE Ethiopian! What a hypocrisy?

I strongly feel those who are lining up to insult Mohammed Al-Amoudi should be ashamed to forward such a snobbish and stupid argument.

The reality is: Ethiopia have been in war with monstrous and regime like Mengistu which was doing its best to rule by force – until the gallant youth of Ethiopia raised their arms and crashed the dictator.

Yet the hypocrite AAPOs disguised as CUDP comes along and attempting to impose their rotten agenda in the disguised name of Ethiopian Nationalism. One thing what surprised me most is: who said Amharas are the ONLY Ethiopians?

Don’t they remember the very fact that: the prime culprit among the causes for most of the turmoil Ethiopia experiencing is the unequal distribution of power and the lack of check and balance that prevents one group from dominating over the other as that was the case during the Haile Selassie and the Dergue era.

For our mother land to genuinely develop, most of the historical dirty linen like AAPO/CUD must be washed clean to build a stronger Ethiopia.

Certain incontrovertible facts have already been exposed and must be eradicated in order to find the right cure for the disease that is afflicting Ethiopia.

I conclude by saying: God save Ethiopia from the hypocritical and blind CUDP supporters and the hate mongers.

My Gut feeling tells me that the blind AAPO/CUDP SUPPORTERS Are GOOD for NOTHING but to spread hate and lies to fulfil their ego in the very disguised Ethiopia nationalism to – something which will never appear in bodily form.

Who said 55% of Ethiopians are Muslim?? Where did you get that figure? Don't tell me you got it from CIA WORLD FACTS book? woyane gave information to them saying Tigran population is 40% equal to Amharas. That's the type of misinformation woyne gave them. Therefore, we know for fact that information is inaccurate.

Do you believe the Tigryan population is as equal as the Amhara? then how can you tell if they are telling the truth about the Muslim population?

EXCELLENT REPORT ON THE RACIST-MAFIA-DICTATORSHIP OF MELESE ZENAWI BY THE BBC:

Updated at 11:32 GMT on Friday

The trial of over 130 opposition leaders and journalists has begun in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa - on charges including genocide and treason. They were arrested in a second wave of violence after disputed elections last May.

Before the elections, the Ethiopian prime minister Meles Zenawi, had been hailed in the West as a progressive leader, who was determined to reform his government. But now those same sponsors are withholding aid until his behaviour changes.

Nicholas Walton reports.

You are not any different than the woyanes who have been drinking whisky on the grave of 70 million youth. We know you are rich, but can you please think of the poor? You can not help the poor by only making them your slaves by working them in your companies. They deserve the right to live in freedom and build their own empire instead of being slaves of you and woyane forever. If you are doing everything legally, you have nothing to be afraid of regardless of who gets elected. but you got all nerves when you felt that woyne was going to lose and stated showing your support in public. What would you have lost if KINIGIT won the election? That would be so interesting to know? why are you supporting woyane so much??

Socrates ET AL.

You can support the party that meets your interest.

But, by supporting TPLF/EPRDF, you are supporting:

1) A government that has divided the country based on the body chemistry, language and ancestry of its citizens. A government that does this is a racist government. So you are supporting a RACIST government.

2) A government that has monopolised the economy for the benefit of the leaders using the power at its disposal. A government that does this is a MAFIA government. So you are supporting a MAFIA government.

3) A government that has kidnapped, tortured, imprisoned 10-thousand UNARMED civilians, and killed 100 of UNARMED civilians. It has also imprisoned opposition leaders and journalists. A government that does this is a DICTATORSHIP. So you are supporting a dictatorship.

So you have to know that you are supporting a racist-mafia-dictatorship of TPLF/EPRDF.

if you want our poor country to grow in democracy, we all have to reason. we should stop being driven by hatred or blind love. these things will take us to more bloodshed instead of peace. but when we reason we can break a common gound to work together.

We have to start by admitting all political parties are ethiopians, all are trying to help Ethiopia. Then we can choose the best one without any attached emotion of love or hatred to any party.

Emotions will never and have never solved a problem in history. Reasoning, talking sense, respect to one another is the solution we have. other than this we are going to see more bloodshed in the future.

Lets calm down. The billionair has the right to support TPLF, or CUD or OLF or UEDF etc.

people should be able to be friends while supporting different political parties, then we can say we have matured, and our country can enjoy peace.

Dear readers,
By now everyone with some critical sense, ofter the result of education, should be aware what the programme of CUD looks like. (Have you also noticed they have none?)
1. kill all Tigreans first
2. they don't know who to kill next
3. let us all be buddies and move into the same house, same rent, one ethiopia with small e and without diversity, especially not Mulims. What is that?
4. get rid of the rif raf, (you and me and other ethnics (often described as racists)
5.anyone they do not like is a mafia,(something born in Palermo, Sicilly, later born-again in America
6. true ethiopians hail either from Ankober or parts of USA (little ethiopia, DC and LA). All others are assigned to basket no.35, i.e. trash and rif raf
7.Oromos to be deported to Madagascar, where they came from (funny, Hitler had originally in mind to send the Jews to Madagascar)
8.one flag (soaked in the blood of the dare devils, the Tigreans)with a limping, cross-eyed lion cub and later, much later a crown for Hailu Wushawel (but what good is that, he would have been dead 10 years by then)
10. to clear the way for the great Anokebrite revolution, they shall work with dedication towards the dismantling of Ethiopian economy, or what is left of it after the shambles created by Derg.

This, dear readers, is the MANIFESTO OF CUD.

The solution? We have no final solution, but we solve problems as we go. Catch them like mad dogs, put them in Kaliti (later to be promoted to Dedessa). Take them to court. Make them read the law books. Give them a lawyer. Give them medical care and later, psychological therapy and last but not least, teach them about DEMOCRACY, preferably in Tigrignya or Oromifa. Other languages are also welcome.
The other solution: DIASPORA, those with foreign passports.....? not all of them, but those known to have genocidal aspirations, send them back to...... anywhere,....preferably far away, maybe even to Guant.....? How about that, eh.....?

Sheikh Alamoudin is without comparison with any living persons, a true humanitarian, a true Ethiopian, a devout Moslem and as honest as they come. He has the freedom to do exactly as he pleases. His money can do a lot of things. It just so happens he values his country of origin, a loyalty those bad guys from the US and Europe can hardly match. On the contrary, they are begging foreign powers to hurt Ethiopia. We know our DEMOCRACY is a fledgling and therefore vulnerable. We know we are the laughing stock of sophisticated Westerners and their uncouth litters, who call themselves American or European or a sort, while the very home their own biological mother gave birth to them has neither running water nor even the most primitive of toilets. And now they are rubbing elbows with Americans. Wonders never cease. Our DEMOCRACY will thrive, thanks to the dedicated Ethiopians in EPRDF and genuine people like Sheikh Alamoudin. One can easily see how trivial CUD has become worrying about 5 million. This is nthing compared to the amount CUD gangster have stolen from the poor country.

Alamoudi's reason to give his money and his life for TPLF is because they let him invest in his country??? wow what a reason, is he saying he does not care what EPRDF is doing to its' opponents and Ethiopians as a whole, as long as they let him invest?in my opinion i thought he was above that, and again i don't know the guy personaly, but his comments are disappointing.

dear ethiopians what do you expect by this half arab bastard called mohammad ?- me nothing. what we need now is to focus on our strength, that means armed struggle. there is no way out ethiopians we have to die for our freedom, the whole world is against us, all of them: the arabs, the europeans, the americans, the chinese, the japanase, all of them back the woyanes. and you know why, because we are the only coloured people in the world who were dominated by the white man. even the arabs, the chinese and the japanase, who consider themselves to be proud people, were only slaves for the white man. so they are all jealous on ethiopia. now they are laughing at us, because we dont even fight, when someone like woyane, who are banda slaves for the white man,attack us and kill our children and women. are you not ashamed of this my ethiopians ? we have to wake up now, otherwise we will be history soon.

Bekele,

The issue you fail to understand is the difference between the political and the social. The political involves the use of force, while the social does not.

When you divide people politically it has negative consequence. As the Ethiopian constitution separates religion from the state, it must also separate ethnicity from the state. In the social sphere, people will associate with others of the same convictions, not of the same ancestry. I see extreme danger in including ethnicity in politics in the same way that it is extremely dangerous to include religion in politics.

So what we want is that we want to change the constitution so that ethnicity is removed from political division of the Ethiopian people

That is our goal. It may take us a long time, but that is the only way to bring together people of same conviction, instead of the accident of birth in same village.

That is why I say the current constitution is a RACIST constitution.

How to characterize CUDites? Such an unhealthy organization, if indeed it is, reguires imagination to start with a chameleon and to end in a buch of snakes stealthily crawling to steal our baby democracy from its crib.

The Andante of Snakes

They weave a slow andante as in sleep,
Scaled yellow, swampy black, plague-spotted white;
With blue and lidless eyes at watch they keep
A treachery of silence; infinite

Ancestral angers brood in these dull eyes
Where the long-lineaged venom of the snake
Meditates evil; woven intricacies
Of Oriental arabesque awake,

Unfold, expand, contract, and raise and sway
Swoln heart-shaped heads, flattened as by a heel,
Erect to suck the sunlight from the day,
And stealthily and gradually reveal

Dim cabalistic signs of spots and rings
Among their folds of faded tapestry;
Then these fat, foul, unbreathing, moving things
Droop back to stagnant immobility.

Correction

Bekele,

The issue you fail to understand is the difference between the political and the social. The political involves the use of force, while the social does not.

When you divide people politically it has negative consequence. As the Ethiopian constitution separates religion from the state, it must also separate ethnicity from the state. In the social sphere, people are not prevented to associate with any one they like. However, when they are political (FROCE) divsion of people there is extreme danger in the same way that it is extremely dangerous to include religion in politics.

So what we want is that we want to change the constitution so that ethnicity is removed from political division of the Ethiopian people

That is our goal. It may take us a long time, but that is the only way to bring together people of same conviction, instead of the accident of birth in some village.

That is why I say the current constitution is a RACIST constitution.

Zena,

The only reason for the poverty of Ethiopians is because of the monopoly of the economy by the MAFIA TPLF/EPRDF dictatorship, using the proceeds to save in foreign bank accounts and buy villas in foreign capitals. The population is extremely poor. But the individuals in the government are extremely rich and powerful.

The precondition for prosperity is FREEDOM. It is in the government’s hand whether to give or deny freedom to its citizens. So the prosperity of Ethiopians is in the hand of the mafia-government.

Solution: The government remove itself from the economy, return land to individuals and let private individuals invest and make fortune while at the same time creating jobs for the poor Ethiopians. This solution has been successfully tried in several countries. There is no other solution. Let people be economically and politically free, and progress is UNAVOIDABLE consequence.

So the one to be blamed is the mafia government which enriches itself until kicked out by force in the same manner they came into power.

The truth is not as you put it but as follows: With the intelectual talents of PM Meles Zenawi, to mean to kill,destroy and as a saying goes "no grass grow after I die;

The wisdom of President Girma Woldegiorgis,to mean to eat "quart" and to sip whisky from dawn to dusk at the Minilake Palace while legesse has been killing people all over the country;
The good qualities of Arkebe Oukbay,to mean the slave of legesse with having no once own outlook;

and the wealth of Ethiopia's modern day Jegna Alamoudin,to mean modern day ideot who wants to buy love and esteem by mony from the ethiopian people,isn't it?

Do you know that this Christian country is loosing ground to Islam by intimidation,murder and the burning of Christian churches in tthe south while Mr. Alamoudin and one Supper Power,(to apease muslims through its Embassy renovated a mosque in Bale.)are not really hurting the interest of the majority Ethiopians?

Zena and Yoni,

I am not sure what you are trying to defend. Are you trying to tell us the EPRDF government is a legitement government, it was ellected by the people. Answer me this question first before you try to mambel other stuff. That is the question most of us have. If the people do not want this government that is their right. Are you trying to convince us the people of Ethiopia wants EPRDF. That is all you need to answer. We are not interested what right you have to write and say any thing pro or against EPRDF or CUD. That is not the big question. THE QUESTION IS IS THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT ELLECTED BY THE PEOPLE. You need to answer this question first. If it is not, what is your logic to support them. I am not say you have to support CUD. I don't care if you do or not. I am for any one ellected by the people. If they ellect the devil that is their choice.

Another thing is you mention have you donated any money or have helped your people for any thing. My answer for you is may be you haven't done any thing so you think no one have done any think. Let me give you an example, three your ago a group of engineers from Europe wanted to donate water pumps to rural areas in the south. Do you know what the government said they told them they need to pay taxes to donate the pamps to the local governments. This is not a second hand news. I was there when they pleded the govenrment representative. This is a knid of govenment we have. Even when you try to help they will make life hell for you.

Dear all,

It is laughable to read what the fanatic CUD supporters telling us i.e. we should ONLY support their party.

Is that the CUD supporters interpretation of democracy?

No wonder you are lining up to insult Mohammed Al-Amoudi who have invested heavily and created so many job opportunity for the needy.

However, if Mohammed Al-Amoudi was raising funds for CUDP - He i.e. Mohammed Al-Amoudi will be praised as the TRUE Ethiopian! What a hypocrisy?

Furthermore, I would like to raise a number of questions to the so called “true Ethiopians” in Diaspora who became politically so active after the 3rd national elections.

How many of you the so called the “citizens" of the “true Ethiopians” did actually lift a finger to help a single individual from the morass our fellow "citizen" find themselves in?

Can any of you “true Ethiopians” could claim to have organised a fund raising event to build a single clinic to help those in need?

When did you last congregate in genuine anticipation of laying the foundation for a single school that would lift a section of a generation from the darkness of illiteracy?

Furthermore, ask yourselves,

When did you “true Ethiopians” last donated a single Birr to plant a seed, to sink a water hole, to water a sapling, to feed a hungry brother and his family? I said "donate".

Not give our time but stretch our giving hand!

Forgive me if I am wrong, what you all are interested in power and the benefit it comes with it.

Referring to the current Ethiopian impasse, what is more current than the inability to feed oneself in the next hour? Or day? Or month? Or eternity?

You can demonstrate day and night as much as you can in Washington DC. I have no problem against your right to do so.

But let me add one more point to the equation.

How about, for arguments sake the reaching out to those who death perpetrated on the poor through sickness? Or poverty?

Do you the blind CUD supporters allow your individual as well as collective mind to be used by one group such as CUD to be hijacked and used as an instrument in order that the group will facilitate its hideous agenda?

For the biggest enemy here is your wilful ignorance to the motives of others.

And to that extent I choose not to contribute one iota of my time or energy or a fraction of a penny to a cause that neither addresses the root cause of the problem nor would I restrain myself from voicing ways I think are the way forward.

In so doing, I offer no apologies but I stand to be corrected if I ever touched a raw nerve of a fake collective soul unknowingly or otherwise.

The sheik's increasing behavior in supporting the un-elected, oppressive regime may lend credibility to the hypothesis that the Sheik may be used as a conduit for Meles regime's money laundering schemes. Which means, the 5.5 million birr the Sheikh gave to the TPLF may actually be returning the regime's own money. This way they make it look like it is a gift from the Sheik when, in actuality, it may be a money laundering scheme.

I think the Sheik needs to refrain from supporting an oppressive regime for the long-term health of his economic empire in Ethiopia. The best long-term strategy for the Sheik is to be on the side of the people than to be on the side of an oppressive, divisive, and ethnocentric regime.

To The Beloved Diaspora:

Please leave the Ethiopians in Ethiopia alone. They are managing the best way they can. It is hard to understand how they let a little bald-headed guy and a fat little al-qada terrorist with big money screw the country to death. In America Bush can tell lies all day and you can still go eat at your favorite restaurant and watch movies all day without fear of the country going in chaos.
Trust me, when the people are on television starving to death like they did with Megistu the opposition parties like Cud and others will be glad to take a few bullets.....except this time-CUD will shoot back. CUD MEMBERS are still eating good.....give them time. When Meles finally break their backs they will rise up.
Until then, help them by their getting their daughters and sons to United States and Great Britain. Get them Visas to leave the country and experience life in America. America is a dirty place, but at least they know how to lie cheat and steal without killing the people and making "The World's Poorest Countries List". Meles will continue to treat the Ethiopian People badly because they let him. Ethiopians, look at it like this : under Meles you are going to die, so be like Al-Moudi and die for something. Boycott work, shut down the factories and march on Meles' palace. THE SOLDIERS CAN'T KILL ALL OF YOU! DAMN, THEY MIGHT EVEN HELP YOU!
Until then Diaspora, send money to your relatives in Ethiopia and marry their daughters. You don't understand the Meles philosophy.

Dear all,

I read what most CUD fanatic supporters write with interest. However, most of their arguments does not hold any water.

In the outset, I am fully aware of the very fact that you and your political party i.e. CUD comes in different colours masquerading as an Ethiopian political organization representing the Ethiopian people.

It is a shame that you have not learned anything in the last decades.

In case if you guys have not also realised, in the current time Ethiopia, no one have any desire to impose any wishes on others, but we all have to be sure to determine and decide our fate and that decision is for all nations and nationalities to decide.

You (fanatic CUD supporters) just have to swallow the hard fact as WE WILL determine our fate and will not leave that decision to anybody else – certainly NOT for non-inclusive party i.e. CUD.

I guess you may not like to hear it BUT as I have argued my case in the past, the prime culprit among the causes for most of the turmoil Ethiopia experiencing right now is the unequal distribution of power and the lack of check and balance that prevents one group from dominating over the other as that was the case during the Haile Selassie and the Dergue era.

The current hate politics and CUD orchestrated violence is nothing but a sheer trust for power. Of-course it is sad people died, but be assured you can't change the federal system by violence even if CUD and their fanatic supporters bark and for the coming 100 years.

The days of ONE tribe dominating the others in the name of unity, has gone for good and never to come back again. You can't possibly oppress the nations and nationalities of Ethiopia, including the poor Amhara people in the name of a very disguised Ethiopian nationalism.

Furthermore, although I am not surprised as such, I am saddened by the moral decadence and cruelty of the extreme elements of the defunct CUD and the “so called Ethiopians in Diaspora”.

I am sure you guys celebrate and enjoy anything you think can hurt ETHIOPIA and her citizens.

The problem is you guys seems to be satisfied by your egos, and throw party to show how you care about Ethiopia.

Let me tell you, what caring for a motherland means and what I always dream about:

I always dream for something that is very lasting which belongs to the people of Ethiopia - regardless of their Ethnic origin or beliefs.

I strongly believe, we need a political institution that is based on democratic principles.

We want something that grows and not something that dwindles as years go by. We want a dynamic party that engages its people in its decision-making, envisions the future and inspires its people to ascend to greater heights.

We want leadership that listens to the voices of its people and prepares younger generation for the challenges of future leadership.

We want continuity and not faith in just one party OR individual –as keeping all your eggs in one basket is risky.

We want leadership that consults with its people and finds out what they think – at the grass-root level. We want a truly democratic party that attracts all of Ethiopians because of its ideas and promises.

We want a party that challenges its elite to get involved and lead – this should be extended to the rural part of Ethiopia too.

Above all we want a truly inclusive party that represents the whole of Ethiopia on equal footing around a round table of Ethiopian politics.

We want to lead ourselves within the bigger tent of Ethiopia and fight for political, economic and social interests of the whole of Ethiopia.

Just to add one more point to the equation.

Do you guys i.e. “Ethiopians in Diaspora”, really allow your individual as well as collective mind to be exploited by one group (such as CUD) and to be hijacked and used as an instrument in order that the group will facilitate its hideous agenda?

For the biggest enemy here is yours as well as mine wilful ignorance to the motives of others.

My last point: you and the rest un-reasonable "Diasporas" should know that, leaders will come and go, but our country will be there forever. We therefore must not confuse our hatred of the leadership with the good news from our country. After all even your “enemies” might also have good sides too.

Any meaningful thoughts?

Whose poverty are they talking about? We know them what they used to look like the 1st time when they envade the country. And also we know how they used to live. If they are talking poverty among their own party, that is true. Now they are the one who is living not in a jungle but in the mantion, they are the one not eating dried bried but feeding themselves in one of the best restourant, they are the one not walking bare feet but driving one of the best and expensive luxury cars. They are the one not illitrate but sening their kids to one of the best and very expensive school. If that is they are standing for, I believe it is, that is true they have not only eradicated poverty but also they are rich. But for Ethiopian ppl, things are the same, may be worse. So we are telling the WOYANE and their partners, you are right and we know that you stand againest povert omong urself While we are suffering under your crul regim.

Halo, Halo
SheikShik Alamudi contributed 5.5 million Birr for Tigray Parasitic Looting Front known as TPLF.
According to our sources this money, in conjunction with the other money, which the TPLF is stealing from Ethiopians, will be used to speed up the process of liberating the tigray people from...

Looks like a lot of TPLF paid supporters are deployed on the Internet to spread out the false propaganda of Meles' regime. I can tell who they are by the artificialness of their argument. They write too long and, I admit, they write very well because they are paid professionals. You can tell these by their unwaerin attacks on CUD. How many times do we have to tell these supporters of the TPLF. These freedom movent of the Ethiopians knows no boundaries, and knows no ethnicity. We are not standing for CUD, we are standing for freedom. On the other hand, youa re standing only for the TPLF and TPLF only. That is your signature.

Again, we want to remind you, this is the movement of all the people of Ethiopia for freedom. Take heed!
Forget talking about the CUD, instead start talking about us, the people of Ethiopia. We are the ones who want TPLF out immediately and unconditionally. We also, of course, demand the immediate release of ALL political prisoners, including the CUD leaders.

Thank you!

The People of Ethiopia Will be Victorious!!!

Aselam Alekum!! Alham Delelahe!

Shek Al Muheden the Bill Gate of Ethiopia told us yesterday that he is a supporter of TPLF and he put his wealth to the service of TPLF.

I have no problem of one person supporting whatever political or civic organization he chooses to advance his cause in this case huge investiment interest of Ala Muhedin.

We are also entitled to fight for our cause including boycotting the business of those who kill and terrorize our people.

This will bring us in collision course with Sheik Ala Muhdin. The money spent in supporting the killing machine of TPLF by Sheik Ala Muhdin could have been spent to buy life saving HIV medicine and that would have brought a great admiration from a lot of Ethioipians for Sheik Ala Muhdin.

Supporting Melese Zenawi at this time made me to change my mind about you and I will never do any business with you until you apologize for the Ethiopian people.

I wonder when you are going to spring up and develop to maturity?

I say the above as I always read a loathsome words which reflect your odious personality.

Furthermore, your ill judgement magnifies your low life as well as your immature personality.

Tell these TPLF cadres what we Ethiopians are saying. We want what the people of Ethiopia want. We want an elected government to be in power. We don’t care if it is CUD, ABC, TLF, even EPRDF.

If you argue that EPRDF is elected by the people, I like to hear your argument. Why don't you, we know it all, EPRDF cadres tell us your take on this instead of talking about CUD did this CUD did that. If you have substance to pass on do it. Don't just have a diarrhea of the mouth.

"Arab states treat Ethiopians as slaves: IOM

ADDIS ABABA, Oct 20: Ethiopian women and girls who travel to the Middle East in search of work are often treated like slaves and abused sexually, the International Organisation for Migration (IMO) said.

“Ethiopian women and girls who migrate to Lebanon, Egypt, Yemen and Saudi Arabia suffer from maltreatment, physical, sexual and emotional abuses,” the IMO said in a report based on interviews with 443 women returning from the region.

Some 130,000 Ethiopian women and children have migrated to the Gulf States and other parts of the region looking for work, the organisation said the report, which was issued on Wednesday.

“Extreme cases of physical trauma, death and suicide had also been reported as consequences of physical, emotional and sexual abuses of young girls and women who migrated to the Gulf states,” the IOM said."

It is the right of Mohammed to give what ever he has to TPLF.It is his right as an individual to support TPLF.mohammed has a right just like other TPLF supporters to support for whatever reason.It is undemocratic to oppose such right.
Mohammed is not like most of us.He has a lot of wealth in Ethiopia and else where.TPLF could destroy it with in a short time.it is the responsiblity of Mohammed to takecare of such things in what ever means possible.After TPLF we have a lot to do towards our economy.Mohammed's and other companies are useful to Ethiopians economic development.Mohammed used to give money TPLF and other individuals and he is doing it now after the may election.What is the difference for a person like him?I think he knows and understand what TPLF is composed of.He knows them more than anybody.As long as mohammed has one vote in Ethiopian condtion I don't see any problem.Mohammed is not our problem.Our main problem is TPLF's not trying to negotiate with the oppostion.TPLF should free political prisoners.TPLF should stop thinking by force.
If possible Mohammed should try to come in the middle to stop such problem in the country.I am sure he loves his people and his country.By no means he could not be Ethiopians enemy.It is clear that such money could not be a solution for TPLF's problems.
God bless Ethiopia!!

Observer,

You questioned whether EPRDF is an inclusive party or NOT.

I say absolutely it is. It certinly is more inclusive than CUD.

May be you do-not want to admit it but CUD is a very shallow Ethnic based party - disguised as an inclusive party.

Furthermore, the reality is - CUD is populated by narrow minded individuals with no inclusiveness insight.

Unless, we count their (i.e. CUDs( futile attempt to bring one Oromo (Like Wzo. Birtukan Demiekesa, one Tigrean Dr, Haliu Araya and one Gurage Dr. Berhaunu Nega) and tell us they represent the whole of Ethiopia - as we all know however, this is too far from the reality.

To me CUDs approach is not genuine and do-not bear any inclusiveness what so ever. Furthermore, your party CUD is - the legacy of your tribal thugs which is death and destruction.

To tell you bluntly, you guys are barking like a mad dog. Don't you still realise the very fact that the Ethiopian people pay the life of millions to uproot your rotten system?

AAPO with the new name CUD orchestrated violence is nothing but a sheer trust for power.

I am saddened for the dead but be assured you can't change the federal system even if you bark and incite violence for the coming 100 years.

Your days are gone for good and never to come back again. You can't possibly oppress the nations and nationalities of Ethiopia, including the poor Amhara people in the name of a very disguised Ethiopian nationalism.

I would therefore like to take this opportunity to remind you ONE thing and ONE thing only.

Various liberation fronts mashromed in the present time Ethiopia well before EPRDF came to power. Here I can easily sight, APLF; ONLF; OLF; TPLF even EPLF.

I therefore conclude by saying: CUD is nothing but the “left over” of your historical leaders.

Regards, Zena

Hello,
What are you saying you gang-CUD-empty-headed, hopelesses? ha..ha..ha Don't you lose hope? Why do you cry of the splitted milk? I am so surprised when I see such people. Who are you talking about? Is it about the already fragmented party-CUD? Wonderful, It is rather advisable to be aware of the facts rather than roaring for nothing!! Why do you cry for the dead donkey while there is a living lion? You will be the only "pity ethiopians" in the whole of your life for your dreams for sure will not come true merely due to the so called "scholars" but really fragile, ever racist and "easy to cheat" peoples of you.I feel pity of you but it is true that your dream is already solved wrong. But I and people like me will be happy of struggling for the prosperity of the modern ethiopia-not ethiopia like in your case and we deadly love TPLF/EPRDF for it has shown us the right route to the actual ethiopianism. You will no more be insects of our country as you were yesterday. I know it is hard for you but be more than sure that you will always be roaring, roaring but for nothing. I think EPRDF's biggest success is in this way that Amharanized ethiopia is no more possible. Forget this, this is not matter of discussion now but the issue is how to preserve the golden ethio-born parties like TPLF. It is just by the way how the great home land lover, his excellency, is doing. There couldn't be an investment better than this! Bravo sir!

Zena,

Why do you talk about EPRDF is more inclusive than CUD. Who ask you about that. All I asked you was is EPRDF ellected by the people or not. Why don't you say YES or NO. A very simple question. Don't tell me about CUD or any other jargen. If you tell me EPRDF is better for Ethiopia than CUD that is another story. But that is not what I am asking you. Who are you to tell the ethiopian people EPRDF is better for them. What we want is let the ETHIOPIAN people chose. I will say it again and again and again LET THE ETHIOPIAN PEOPLE CHOSE WHO THEY WANT. What is it you are afraid of. Do you want the people to chose who their leader to be. Do you have a problem with that. Do you have a broblem with that boddy. I am sure you do. You know why, because the people have made their choise and they will again.

Answer this question only. DO YOU WANT THE PEOPLE TO CHOSE OR NOT. IF YOU DO, HOW DO THEY CHOSE. DO YOU HAVE A SUGGESTION Einstein.

Sheik Almoudi’s influence in Ethiopian Politics, Economy and Religion and how he is sustaining Meles’ regime:

We all know his economical clout in our fragile and small Ethiopian Economy. Meles as usual has right words and told investors (Aloumudi) that he is his modern day cannon: True, Sheik Almoudi has been brainwashed by powerful Meles’ tongue for a while now:
Meles presents himself to Almoudi as the first Ethiopian leader who is extra sensitive to the needs of Ethiopian Moslems! That has been perfect sales pitch that convinced Alamoudi to support TPLF till the end!! Alamoudi to achieve his vast investment objectives , he tried to portray himself as genuine Ethiopian whose only interest to invest in Ethiopia and see this impoverished country prosper! To achieve his objective, he started to recruit famous Ethiopian entertainers like Tilahun Gessese and Tamagne Beyene by rewarding them with gifts and large sum of money. His strategy worked really well.

Alamode being a savvy business man, he understood the importance of winning fans in Diaspora Ethiopian community. He organized music troupes led by Tamagne and Tilanhun and other famous Ethiopian entertainers to make whirlwind tour around the world and sell the good name of Sheik Alamoudi and he indeed succeeded in earning himself a name” chosen Ethiopian son” or as Meles would like to call him “Mirtu Yethiopia lej”

The ground works were finalized, and then Alamoudi started his heavy investment in Ethiopia with eye of controlling every key sector in the Economy. This wasn’t that hard for a man who ranked number forty in fortune magazine that futures world’s richest men/women. To achieve this he made sure that he pleases Meles in anyway he could. And Meles responded to all the perks, kickbacks and political support from the Sheik with very attractive investment opportunities for the “chosen son”. Alamoudi’s savvy way of handling and convincing Ethiopians who are pro and anti of the sitting government passed with flying colors and the Sheik started building his business empire in Ethiopia at speed light. In fourteen years he now controls business that touches every aspect of Ethiopia economical activities. To name few: Trans National Air ways, MIDROC Gold, MIDROC ELFORA, MIDROC KOPSI, MIDROC MBI, MIDROC HUDA(REALSTATE), MIDROC DEPARTMENT STORE, THE GRAND SHERATON and the list goes on and on. His future empire is clear. He wants to built unshakable business empire and make sure the religion balance tilted and assure the Ethiopian Moslems that the so called Christian island and Christian Ethiopia is a myth and tell them you have more share of the pie in the country!! Toa achieve this goal he will continue to support the regime that so far has been helpful to his ambition1 His support is not limited internally, but he also has been very helpful to Meles’s regime by hiring top paid lobbyists in USA and European capitals. For instance his recent decision to accompany Meles to Brussels is an ample example on how much emphasis is putting on the survival of Meles’ regime to see the realization of his grandeur ambition in Ethiopia.
Not many people know that Alamoudi played pivotal role in saving Meles during the chaotic division among TPLF central committee. At that crucial time, Alamoudi who was in Europe flew his jet to Addis Ababa to rescue Meles and he did that by showering many of TPLF central committee that sided with Meles with large amount of money and business loans to start their own little empires in transportation and other business. By doing that and also convincing active CIA agents in Addis Ababa that Meles is their man in Ethiopia, Meles came out the winner and undisputed champion!!

Many Ethiopians were surprised when they saw Alamoudi wearing EPRDF’s T-shirt with flying bee pasted on it! However, for those of us who have been closely following his link with Meles wasn’t surprising but assurance of Alamoudi’s strategic alliance with Meles’s regime. Now there is rumor flowing around Meles and Alamoudi have set special task force to fight the “Diaspora propaganda” with all their might. To realize this objective, the sheik pledged around ten million dollars to fight the so called “Diaspora propagandists” by hiring top notch lobby firms, employing IT to the maximum to fight back the Diaspora opponents, and also trying to buy mercenaries within Diaspora ranks and files that promote the need to accept Meles’ regime constitution and federal democracy.

To sum up, when Alamoudi proclaimed openly that he will fight to death for the survival of TPLF, he means business!! So Diaspora Ethiopians how do we face this 800 pound gorilla who is allying with the killers of children, pregnant women, elderly men and women???

As long as we know the key post in the country is in the hands of Ertrian TPLF members.Please try to understand the present before going to the future.The present is more important than the future.What is the difference for Ethiopians between Tigrian and Amharian Administration.

If we Ethiopians prefer Amharians over tigrians for adminstration why not you respect our vote.

They simply rsorted to violence because that is what they advised to do by Negede Gobeze and that is what they have preparing to do.Remember Hailu Showel gave an interview to BBC in mid afternoon of the voting day and dismissed the election invited Ethiopians for an uprising.

melakeselam, or may I say melaketefu,

Tell me who voted for EPRDF. Is it the Oromo regin or the Amhara region that voted for him. With have no shame when you say it was a fair ellection. If they are ellected by the people fair and square what are they worried about blocking all independent media, Internet jornalists and so on. If the majority of the people ellected EPRDF they have noting to worry about. WHY DO THEY PUT ANY ONE WHO SAY SOME TING BAD ABOUT THEM IN PRISON. IS IT BECAUSE IT IS THE LAW NOT TO SAY ANY THING BAD ABOUT EPRDF? OR IS IT PECAUSE THEY ARE ELLECTED DEMOCRATICLY BY THE PEOPLE AND BECAUSE OF THAT THEY ARE ABOUVE THE PEOPLE WHO ELLECTED THEM.

One thing I want to know is, some of you claim EPRDF is ellected fairly by the people. It means it is Democratecly ellected government. If that is the case then the government is a democratic government. If the people ellected the gov. they should be able to criticize it also. So do you think I can say any thing about the government using my democratioc right and your democratic government will be OK with it. I am not talking about saying any thing I want, I am saying criticize the government that they killed inocent people and they are corraptted and so on. Do you think I can get away with it. The answer is big NO. See that is where you fulish argument falles apart. You try to act like we just want EPRDF to go away to we can have CUD. That is what you want some nive people to think. I am not sure waht CUD stands for or dont stand for. That is my list conserns. I don't care if it become in power or not. All we Ethiopians wants is an democracy to say what we want and not worry about backlash. If EPRDF is ellected I will accept them as long as they don't think they are above the law do what they want as if it is yenatu guada yegeba yemesel. No way hozea. We had 17 years of bandits rule during mengestu. Now we have kehades from north with shbea backing to suck the remaining blood of the Ethiopian people. No way, the people are not fools any more. You can take cover in democracy but your rotten hodeka or kerse will be desplayed to the world very soon

Hey guys Mr. OBSERVER is trying to answer every question but no success so far except reveiling to us his small IQ.

When we say something he jumps and say DOWN WITH EPRDF. Buddy find another song. A lot of us are looking for a change to our country, the problem is that some of us don't think CUDP doesn't have what it takes, or it is not the party we consider an alternative. WHY SHOULD THAT BE A PROBLEM???

HEY, Every shit you write is an opinion and we respect that. don't just stand up and you know things for sure. That is why the CUDP did not win the election (stolen or not). LACK OF EVIDENCE BUDDY.

love you all

The money is not the property of the Stupid Alamudi (Satan).It is our own money snached from the Gold mines that woyane forwarded to this evel for the sack of TPLF NASTY EVELES benifit.

We have to take actions to get back our lands property he can cary and go his evel's works from Ethiopia. He should know We don't want him no more. He should return all our properties and take is ugly dides from our Holly land. We don't have places for evels like Seremutaw Alamudin and the fucken Meles

Ill minded like you create notarious suggestion,on the web or else where and annoys the real citizens.
the land he developed was there for as long as dirt.
the money, never was there for us it was either under your family'medeb'/we didn't have alga/ or swiss bank. when they die it dies with them.Alamudi put it for you to make (at least try)good of yourself;work hard.
the gift in individual right to assume the source of freedom to work and make money is fundamental.
to ansewer you question:yes it is our money but not directly, because he earned it to be his through commitment and hard work.

Dear Commentators, some of you don't have a choice to accept positive things that supports TPLF or EPRDF. One thing that I would like to advise you that try to make your own point that tell people what can you do better to change our country Ethiopia. What Kin kind of democracy can store and how can you handle situation like what happened last year. If believe in democracy specially by Ex-CUDP, was it fair and democratic way by hiring young kids paying fifty birr to throuw stones and old bobs and fighting against police officers. Tell us how they could avoid from taking unwanted action to stop vilonce on the street.
What I am observing is that cursing, saying something that is negative and unacceptable use of language. If you believe in democracy, you accept what Al Humdin is beliving and doing ways of his business. Try to make him to understand and he could be your supporter onnly if you have better plan than Meles. Otherwise, say something that matured and inteligent people are saying and how they say.
Don't you wonder why people are not winning in any way of their movement. Let me give you a pice of mind.
1. They don't respect other people's opinion
2. They have hiden agenda. What they say is different from what they want and they do things that never in their plan. Whatever method comes if they think it may work for them, they do it. But they never plan a head of time how, when, if, and etc. that they only go one way. As Dr. Meles stated last year about CUDP, he said that CUDP only know how to destroy leading party but they did not know how the could be destroyed. It is true and whatever he says it happens. CUDP were told had been given enough time to be free. Don't you evaluate them and discard for what they ended up. As Isaid, to begin was good start but they did not have procedures and clear agendas. Thus, they forgot how the Intelgence and CIA of TPL/EPRDF works.
What I am trying to say about some of (commentators) is that don't just blame Meles or other supports of Meles by cursing is not going to change penny.
Leave Al Humodin alone he has to do he can do whatever works for him and he is the smartes person. If you care about Ethiopians, He is the one who has more than 600000 employes in Ethiopia.

Do you think Ethiopia belongs only to Christians? You can never kick out muslims from ethiopia. Muslim ethiopians are ethiopians and it is not necessary to speak about muslim brothers. Wether muslims are your brothers or not, they are not interrested to hear that. They are ethiopians and live in ethiopia but they are not your brothers but ethiopians!!!

You and TPLF/EPRDF murder a citizen and you say the cause of the death is the dead man! It is like beating your wife and saying she is responsible for the beating.

Yes the mafia regime is enriching its members by using the force available to it. This is there for all to see. It is rotten so bad that it can survive from now on only by brute force and lies.

The TPLF/EPRDF mafia regime closes businesses of its opponents, and jails its owners under the guise of “anti-corruption campaign”. It is this mafia regime that does the kidnapping, the torturing, the imprisoning, and even the killing of unarmed civilians. It is a regime that is corrupted to its core.

As no Ethiopian supports a day time robber, this mafia regime does not have an iota of support from the Ethiopian people, and it will fall down sooner than letter because of its illegitimacy and immorality.

TPLF/EPRDF racist-mafia-dictatorship

Judges have been fired, suspended or reprimanded for being disobedient or unco-operative to the demands and orders of politicians. The constitution has effectively been suspended in order to create room for this campaign. Laws that were declared fascist and hence incongruent with the current setup, were suddenly resuscitated and put in full force. New proclamations were hastily enacted to cope up with the particular needs of a particular group. In the meantime, the whole system of law and justice has been reduced to a mere extension or rubber stamp of the executive.

To: Satenaw

It is crystal clear that the CUD thugs and Naftagna Amharas have hatred toward the major Ethiopian religion and its members: Muslims. It is wrong to hate people based on their believe and I for one, personnally, never support such act. We all need to respect one another, try to coexist in peace. In the past and at the present time, muslims have played so many important roles in our country's development, be it in economic, political, and cultural development. They are here to stay and continue to play in every thing for ever. The Naftagna Amhara thugs should understand that they are not going to solve their problem by attacking our muslim brothers and sisters. Instead, they will face unimaginable consequences for their act. At the same time, Muslim brothers and sisters in Ethiopia must rise to the occassion in order to protect their belonging, followers, and the system that supports it. There is no way of just sitting and watching what is going on in Ethiopia because as you can see things have changed over the years drastically. Muslims are becoming more and more a target for these thugs and derg remnents. So our muslim youths throughout Ethiopia should have the say and able to participate in every move that our country makes. Ethiopia belongs to all people of our country on equal basis but not one particular group. I have heard that muslims have been attacked by Naftagna Amharas for being siding with ruling party in Ethiopia. Muslims have every rights to say, support, be supported by existing system. So muslims in return should make contribution to the party's stand. It is like give and take. So be it. We cannot live in the old days of exclusion any more, so our muslim brothers and sisters have to stand firmly and protect themselves by uniting and standing together.

It is not terrorism or religious extremism. It is simply fact that christians in ethiopia dictate the whole time about ethiopia. They never take ethiopian muslims as political brothers but only as someone who lives there with GreenCard without a right to participate in political decisions.

You Amharas thougt you are the best race in ethiopia and feel superior at the end Tigray shows you your bad sides and you loose the war. Since Amhara looses war ethiopian muslims start to live more happy than any time bevor and start slowly to participate in ethiopian politics.

But you ignore until now muslims, please do not make the same mistakes again as you make with ignoring Tigray !!!

Did you say "That is why the CUDP did not win the election (stolen or not). LACK OF EVIDENCE BUDDY."

This is a MAJOR STEP you took admitting that EPRDF have stolen the election. Like an alcoholic you have taken the first step which is to admit you have a problem. Since now you have admitted you are supporting thieves and muggers there will be not ambiguity what you kehadis are all about. You think EPRDF will be in power forever? Not at all. When the day comes you will be running like a headless chicken to get away from the country. Didn't you see what happened to the Derge cadres. The sad thing is idiots like you do not learn from the past. The smart ones are already leving the country before it gets worse. I am tolking about some high level officials are already leaving the country because they know they will be acountable in the future. You and the likes of you are just paper tigers. You just tramp you horns from a distance. In our history there were people like you that sold Ethiopia for the highest bidder, so we are not suprised to see people like you. There will always be some KEHADIS among us.

By the way at least I am consistent in what I say. And also may be you can't grasp the depth of my intellect with your house plant equivalent IQ

It is as simple as you said. That is how the west ruled the world and continue to rule. Look what they are doning in Iraq. They divided the moslimes in to Suni and Sheits and distroy their country. That is the oldes trick in the book, it always works. It uses humans imotion as a catalist to drive wage among brothers like you and me.

Look what they did to Eriteria and Ethiopia. That was not enough now they want Tigrains, Amhara, and Oromo to eat each other alive. You know how it works? They pay some greedy pig among us to create conflict. The only way we can stop them is by being united and not to fall in thir traps.

Be strong my fellow Ethiopians. Stay together and think of the future with out being distracted by old wondes and fellings. Just think of what Mandela did. Insteade of taking the country in revenge path he chose to take them to the future. Can you imagen that. Can you imagine what they went thru but still chose not to look back.

this drunkard and shameless guy doesn't deserve this much attention.what he did was taking (stealing)ethiopian resource and through his chanell, re_distributing it to woyanes in the name of private donation.it doesn't need to be a scientist or a PHD to realize the true nature of this MAFIA because he knows that if there comes a responsible and genune government in ethiopia he can not syphone ethiopia's resources illegaly the way he is doing it now.so what a big deal if he tries to save his ass.

To ahmed

Al-Amoudi is ethiopian and works hard to invest for ethiopians and give work ethiopians. What do you do for ethiopian?
You can bark like a dog, but ethiopia wants to see the results and works of you and not your barking over Al-Amoudi.

Al-Amoudi teaches you how hard a muslim works and you Naftenga tells us historys about Menilik.

Mike,

You have a big problem my friend. Christians and Muslims in Ethiopia are brothers and sisters to each other. Please leav this out. We Ethiopians have no problems with that.Why are you trying to instigate hate between brothers and sisters? Take you problem somewhere!

I will have to send these naftagna amharas' immigrants to their little dasty empty village sometime in the near future. My city: Finfine or Addis is belong to Oromo people not to you immigrant gypsises from dasty empty village in Gondar.

Naftagna Amharas are African Gypsises: Poor and unethical people!

HABASH – Tena Yistelien !!

It’s been some times since; I have surfing the net, to understand, to learn and connect my self in to my fellow Ethiopians, I try not to Wright but just read and pass, but I guess this is the time I should say some thing. Your nationalism, the love for your Ethiopia is commendable. In additions to this we need to look and open our eyes. That is IDEA – We should exchange information Ideas that could change our Mother Land Ethiopia. What type of Agriculture or Manufacturing should benefit the national growth, an idea how to become rich, an idea of invention to better the countryside from agro –economy. An idea to help the needy, the homeless, the national forest, how to protect the forest and the wild animals before we loose every thing. Brother and sisters, all I see from this and other site is F- this; F- that & most of the debate is about Alamudi Mohamed Hussein.Leave him alone,and let him do what GOD has made him to .He has done a lot,and we should't ask what did or what he did not.We need to change the name and image that has been tarnished with so many bad political,jelousy and ,Hate.
The Arab says: “Habash Anesh”. Why? When I was a little kid in Ethiopia my family told me the Hyena never let the other Hyena go after him, the reason is the other hyena will eat the front one. History repeats its self we are eating our people or trying to eat them. My final thought is as some writer said; “You can’t get there from here”. If you are looking for a better job, more money, life extra, go and get it. Stop dreaming. With love …

look our past has it's ups and downs but hey we are not here to rewind time and change what has happened during menlike or haileselasse but i know for the fact what ethiopia needs right now from us is equal sense of understanding which means we have to fell, morn and understand what our beloved country is facing today and how we as ethiopians regardless of our different ethnicities overcome the killings of innocent kids students and most importantly adult by brain washed soliders of meles zenawi, look what determines ethiopians future is for all ethnic backgrounds form oromo,welamo,somali,afar,amhara,tigrie,gamebela,etc to have a level of understandings and a since of Sympathetic behavious towards each other, one shall not watch the others struggle and killings that have been demonstrated by the butcher mele's regime. Ethiopia is not for one ethnic groups it is a multi-ethnic society there for let us all thnik for the future of ethiopia where every one regardless of their ethnic background build their beloved country. we have a lot of educated people living out side of the country in doing so they are building and contributing to the growth of other countries while their beloved motherland is going backwards by all means. also i urge wayane supporters out there to think about other ethiopians and in general the future of the country off course meles does not represent tigray by all means, and be aware that politics is a dirty game that should not include ethnicity nor history of the past. let us all pray for the future ethiopia where every one meaning all multi-ethnicity that represent ethiopia has an equal voice and looked in one eye from south to north from east to west and let hope that power is in peoples hand than say in one person.
