This was posted under the picture of Meles photo with France president. Which i found to be a cheap shot. What the Hell, Meles was not trying to pretend as if she spoke french. I am not his supporter but that kinda low shot makes me sick. He doesn't have to speak french. Benatachin newe wenyes babatache demo??

MelASS always represented Ethiopia and Africa as an image of Poverty, draught, misery, disaster, war, crime. etc. This image will never leave the minds of millions of viewers around the world for many years to come.
Meless never been popular and he is about to be forgotten once he is out!!!!!
A man who caused lots of misery to millions of Ethiopians will face justice! The time seems to be cool for the thuggish prime Minister, but the warrent letter is on it's way. No one will scape from justice. Not meless even the former Israeli forighn minister got one by the British court yesterday. Meless you will never scape!!!

"The origin of relations between Ethiopia and France goes back far beyond the years of the great struggle against the invader. The relations between our two countries date from the beginning of the seventeenth century. It is true that at that time, the means of communication between Ethiopia and France did not facilitate the establishment of continuous relations."HIM "When we say that the Djibouti Territory has always historically formed part and parcel of Ethiopia and that we are not claiming somebody else's territory, we are fortified by the memories of recent history and by historians who seek the truth. We do not seek what belongs to others. However, we will continue impressing people that are concerned in this matter that the Djibouti Territory had always formed, prior to the last part of the 19th century, an integral part of Ethiopia. This fact is well known to the people of Djibouti themselves and many other peoples throughout the world are aware of it. It is also known to France. The French government and people know that the Djibouti Territory and the people there cannot survive without the vital links with Ethiopia."

Africans slam Zenawi-Sarkozy appeal

African NGOs at the Copenhagen Climate Conference on Wednesday accused Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi is selling out Africa after he backed a joint statement with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

The Pan-African Climate Justice Alliance say that Zenawi, whom African countries named their "chief negotiator" at Copenhagen, is "undermining" his fellow negotiators and endangering Africa's future.

They are furious that the joint statement called for a global warming limit a 2°C above pre-industrial levels - compared to the 1.5°C that poorer countries earlier said was the highest figure they were prepared to accept.

A 2°C rise would mean a 3.5°C rise for the African continent, the campaigners claim, "threatening the lives of hundreds of millions of people, including the Ethiopian people".

And they point out that promises of aid to vulnerable countries at the moment seem to be no higher than ten billion dollars (seven billion euros) over three years, starting in 2010, which they consider a derisory sum.

Meanwhile Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt declared Wednesday that he is unsure that the conference will even agree the 2°C target. Reinfeldt was speaking at the European parliament in Brussels, before travelling to Copenhagen where he will represent the European Union along with Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso.
In what officials are describing as a protocol formality, the Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen is taking over as chairman of the climate tlalks, replacing Coni Hedegaard who will lead informal talks.

Danish police on Wednesday fired tear gas and arrested more than 100 activists, who were among 1,500 who tried to march on the Copenhagen conference centre.

The protesters accuse the politicians from 194 countries of preparing an inadequate response to global warming.

NGOs are also angry that thousands of their members have been refused entry to the Bella conference centre, despite having badges.

Organisers have accepted the blame for the problem, saying that 46,000 people want to attend but that the centre has only a 15,000 capacity. The NGOs say the politicians do not want to hear their voices

Hey! Nazret.com What is wrong with you! You wrote "France's President helps Ethiopia's Prime Minister to put his ear piece. Meles was standing as if he understands French"

May be he does. In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, it is very unprofessional of you to speculate on whether or not Meles understands French. Remember there is a difference between understanding a foreign language and speaking it. Unlike his ardent critics, Meles is a very intelligent individual.

He is trying to show the world his ego of knowing a foreign language. Meles is wishing that people would think of him as a better leader than Sarcozy. Poor Meles, he is just a very confused street smart psycho man, a devil that is suffocating Ethiopia and now trying to drawn the whole continent, Africa! With the help of Sarcozy!

HaHaHa, i here that Ato Meles has been caught red handed when he was trying to replicate his treasonous Temokiro in the Aseb, Badime and Humera negotiations. Basically, undermining and sabotaging the main issue at his own treasonous, selfish and dictatorial will. What did i say since day one, meles is the worst human being that can represent anything and anyone. He is a ruinous coat turner, a dictator, a thief who never cared about Ethiopia and will never care about Africa. For this man, every moment is an opportunity to undermine the best interest of the subject under his control as long as it buys him a day inside arat kilo. I hope, the rest of the African representatives will continue denouncing his behind the curtain deals and eventually kick him out of the team with shame.

Afarman above is pathetic, clearly with a mehayim with a high school degree, at best. Here's the central issue for me - even Obama needs to get the American people to agree to any agreement in Copenhagen (by way of passage of congressional act). How can Meles speak for Ethiopians let alone for African nations, which, for the most part, like Ethiopia, are led by one-party states? Also, this entire "rich poor" nation divide in Copenhagen over carbon emissions and "financing" seems like a big compromise that favors the polluters. It's unfortunate that Meles does not have the guts and temerity to lead African nations to walk away from this crappy deal.

Melese although is is logical in his speech and has a clear thought as usual looks uncomfortable. Also Zarchozi touched him numerous times and sent his hands into the private space of Meles, that is a sign of mental state domination.

Adults touch children, Men touch women, Tall people hug shorter ones, touching is a sign of domination.

Zenawi is there to stop the real
fighter from Africa Like Lumumba Di-Aping the west is using Zenawi

read this what Lumumba Di-Aping said

Emotional scenes at Copenhagen: Lumumba Di-Aping @ Africa civil society meeting – 8 Dec 2009
Posted in ALL BLOG POSTS, nature & environment by adamwelz on December 8, 2009
Dear All
The leak of a so-called ‘Danish text’ that would sideline the UN in future climate deals is reverberating around the Copenhagen negotiations. (see http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/dec/08/copenhagen-climate-summit-disarray-danish-text)
Today I witnessed an unexpected and extraordinary outburst of candour from one of the key players in these negotiations — Lumumba Di-Aping, Sudanese by birth and chief negotiator of the so-called G77 bloc (which mostly consists of poor countries).
I attended an ad-hoc meeting in a meeting room of the Bella Center attended by about 100 African representatives of civil society and a few African parliamentarians (among them Lance Greyling, an MP from South Africa) this afternoon. The meeting was called at short notice and its agenda was not announced. After a few minutes of introductions Di-Aping was given the floor to speak to fellow Africans. Requests were made by organisers to turn off all microphones so as not to record what was going to be said, although Di-Aping made a point of turning his on, saying half-jokingly “they are probably listening anyway”.
He did not start his speech immediately. Instead he sat silently, tears rolling down his face. He put his head in his hands and said “We have been asked to sign a suicide pact.” The room was frozen into silence, shocked by the sight of a powerful negotiator, an African elder if you like, exhibiting such strong emotion. He apologised to the audience, but said that in his part of Sudan it was “better to stand and cry than to walk away.”
Once he had composed himself, Di-Aping launched into an eloquent and direct attack on the apparent subversion of the climate negotiation process by certain developing countries, the leaked so-called “Danish” agreement that has become the talk of the conference. Since I did not feel it appropriate to stand up and video the proceedings, I live-tweeted what I could (www.twitter.com/adamwelz).
Speaking in measured tones, Di-Aping first attacked the 2 degrees C warming maximum that most rich countries currently consider acceptable. Referring continuously to science, in particular parts of the latest IPCC report (which he referenced by page and section) he said that 2 degrees C globally meant 3.5 degrees C for much of Africa. He called global warming of 2 degrees C “certain death for Africa”, a type of “climate fascism” imposed on Africa by high carbon emitters. He said Africa was being asked to sign on to an agreement that would allow this warming in exchange for $10 billion, and that Africa was also being asked to “celebrate” this deal.
He then went on to forthrightly address the weakness of many African negotiating delegations, noting that many were unprepared and that some members were either lazy or had been “bought off” by the industrialised nations. He singled out South Africa, saying that some members of that delegation had actively sought to disrupt the unity of the bloc. He said that civil society needed to hold its negotiators to account, but warned of a long and difficult struggle for a fair climate deal (words to the effect of ‘you have no idea of the powers that are arrayed against you’, spoken in the tone of someone who has spent years interacting with these powers.)
He said that people all over the world had to be made aware of what a bad climate deal means for Africa (“I am absolutely convinced that what Western governments are doing is NOT acceptable to Western civil society”).
He explained that, by wanting to subvert the established post-Kyoto process, the industrialised nations were effectively wanting to ignore historical emissions, and by locking in deals that would allow each citizen of those countries to carry on emitting a far greater amount of carbon per year than each citizen in poor countries, would prevent many African countries from lifting their people out of poverty. This was nothing less than a colonisation of the sky, he said. “$10 billion is not enough to buy us coffins”.
Obama, he said, would probably be brought to Copenhagen to ’sanctify’ this deal. “What is Obama going to tell his daughters? That their [Kenyan] relatives’ lives are not worth anything? It is unfortunate that after 500 years-plus of interaction with the West we [Africans] are still considered ‘disposables’ “. “My good friends… we’ve got to get together and fight the fight.”
Di-Aping accused a group of US industrialists behind an organisation called the Climate Works Foundation of being behind the efforts to sideline the process and African countries, noting that rich governments did not want to pay the true cost of climate change or confront their own citizens with the urgent need to change their lifestyles.
Calling the current deal that was being proposed “worse than no deal”, he called on Africans to reject it — “I would rather die with my dignity than sign a deal that will channel my people into a furnace.” Africans had to make clear demands of their leaders not to sign on. He suggested a couple of slogans: “One Africa, one degree” and “Two degrees is suicide”
Di-Aping’s speech crystallised the room into action. A demonstration was immediately planned, and a few minutes after its end the people in the room converged on a central point in the Bella Center and began chanting and shouting — attracting a storm of media interest. (Di-Aping later addressed a formal press conference where he repeated some the points made in the African meeting, apparently no less eloquently but far less emotionally.)
Some commentators have suggested that the leak of the so-called “Danish” proposal will not significantly affect the progress of the talks here. After witnessing Di-Aping speaking to the African group, I am not so sure. It’s becoming increasingly clear that many rich countries are seeking a deal that falls well short of what the vast majority of current science indicates we need to do to avoid extremely damaging climate change, and that representatives of people in poor countries are becoming increasingly fed up at their ongoing marginalisation by the rich governments. The divide between the civil servants and NGO managers lazily discussing career options on the train across Copenhagen and those that have grasped the urgency of climate change is becoming more apparent.
With clear, credible voices like Di-Aping’s articulating the frustration of so many, are we seeing a fracturing of the Copenhagen process? Is this conference, which seems to be trying so hard to be just another ‘normal’ conference, with ordered meeting halls, name tags and too many glossy brochures floating around, going to turn into something really historic and interesting?
A note: Di-Aping mentioned in his speech that he was named after the famous Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba, even though he was Sudanese (“My parents were Lumumbist”). Patrice Lumumba was of course murdered after asserting himself too strongly against western powers, and replaced by the famously corrupt but US- and Belgian-friendly Mobutu Sese Seko.
Cheers

I usually think ethiopian politics/democracy is fake... not a big fun of Melesse as well except his smartness. But I would be telling a lie "as an Ethiopian African" that after such a long time Africa presented a leader that stood up for the continent (in recent years). Of course Haile Selassaie (RIP) has done a lot for the continent. Anyways please don't hate, I understand the fact that regions are not being treated equally in Ethiopia (which I feel really sad about) however he is doing ok for the continent.

serer --> serrer

There spoke MELES ZENAWI, the greatest leader Africa ever had. President Sarkozy, I am sure can learn a lot from him. Though they are nearly the same age the lion of Africa has a lot of life experience, wit and superior God given knowldge of the world.

Nevertheless, I wish him to go to Church often to thank the LORD for giving him so much wisdom and farsightedness. One day there will be roads and statues built for this great humble man. May God protect this great man and Ethiopia from those vultures in the diaspora.

All that demonstration against Meles in DC, London, Praise you name it was in vain. Not because the whole world is go deaf the answer is pretty simple: truth is the high way lay is the wrong way. Look, ever since he is getting promoted the hater demoted. Well done Meles!!! The Haters, get over it or hell.

Believe it or not, Ethiopia is the best country in Africa; what ever the criterion you take, I am proud of my country country blessed ethiopia. I know several
Africans when i was in USA... they all
are stupid and always want to fill their
bigggggg stomach and do not care about human being. So you must not say Ethiopia
should not represent Africa;
You must be pround. Ethiopia is mentioned
in the bible more than 40 times.You know that you ass.

Guys
I am so sorry to read unnecessary criticism from you Ethiopian brothers and sisters.''To err is human.'' if we call what meles did is error,but that was not acc.to me.
Let us take it positively and let us say the Meles was being worried about ethiopias' infinite problems when he was about to make speech.
Forgive me for saying this genuinely.
GOD bless Ethiopia
