Ethiopia to kick off election campaign in December

Source: AFP

ADDIS ABABA —
Ethiopia's election campaign will kick off on December 8, a government official said on Thursday, despite protests by an opposition umbrella group over a newly-agreed electoral code.

"The elections will kick off on December 8. Voting day will be May 23 and the results will be finally declared on June 21," government spokesman Bereket Simon told journalists.

The elections will be the first since 2005, when deadly violence sparked by allegations of vote rigging by the ruling party killed nearly 200 people.

Three opposition groups announced on Wednesday that they had agreed with the ruling Ethiopian Peoples' Revolutionary Democratic Front on an electoral code after a two-months of discussion.

The code sets out campaigning, voting and party symbol guidelines as well as how to deal with intimidation and violence, abuse of office and corruption.

It also includes the setting up of a panel to handle election disputes.

The Forum for Democratic Dialogue in Ethiopia, a coalition of eight parties, had shunned the talks however, arguing that key elements on security and freedom of expression and movement were not included in the code.

Bereket said the group would still be allowed to register candidates, but warned that any violations of the code would incur penalties.

"Signing is not a precondition for registering. But if they transgress it (the code), it will be a transgression of the rule of the land," he said.

Bereket said international observers would be invited for next year's vote.

The 2005 vote, the country's third pluralist elections since the 1991 ouster of a Soviet-backed regime, was widely condemned as having fallen short of international standards.

193 civilians and six police officers died in post-election violence after opposition complaints of widespread fraud.

Bereket said, "...But if they transgress it (the code), it will be a transgression of the rule of the land".
Did the legislative body intered the code into the law of the land?
Otherwise those parties which didn't accept it are not obliged to bind by it.
baraket said, "hig hig naaw" on voa.
But he didn't tell us whether killing innocent citizens is mentioned in his higa "arawit".

To Yeha
In 2005 the Ethiopian people have spoken loud and clear. They don't want a government that divides on ethnic lines. My home city Addis Ababa, if you know it, is a place where Ethiopians of all ethnic back ground live in harmony and unity. Addis Ababa or as you call it 'Kilil 14' is the real house of representatives. People from all corners of the country live there. When Addis speaks you know the whole Ethiopia is speaking. So what did Addis say in 2005? NO to Ethnocentrism! No to woyane! So woyane could deny the fact that they did not win nothing in Addis and all major cities of Ethiopia. It was easier for them to say we won in rural area where they could oppress the people. Those brothers and sisters that dare to protest the dictatorial regime of Meles Zenawi were killed and we will never forget red terror that followed. Meles' own commission of inquiry has found Meles Zenawi's government guilty of the atrocities committed. Yeha is it really what you want for mother Ethiopia? Do you really want such kind of government? Don't you want to see a united prosperous democratic republic of Ethiopia? Tell me what you want.

Come on folk!! WE all know who is the candidated and the so called Opposition? WEYANNES and THE SHIMAGIELS who need a urgent medical treatment in Arab or europian city with ethiopia money.

I want to see a WOMAN who can lead ethiopia to NEW era without Beggers org.

I want to see Women in parlament with 75%.

I want to see Women of the TRUE RADICAL ethiopia to RUN ethiopia.

What we hear is a bunch of shimagiles and HODDAMS with male chavinst dominated parties here and there.

Yeha,
You are a pig with not brain.
Listen to you saying follow what Meles said "EPDRF sayed or else"
What is election then and what is rule of law.
Good election for EPDRF , Z-Mike, Yeha and likes is when the opposition goes out to tell the public Meles is god, so elect him. If you elect me I will just clap in parlament. If that is not what they say then as per yeha we better watch it. Is this election?
Shame!
This is what they are greed on
"arguing that key elements on security and freedom of expression and movement were not included in the code." No freedom of movment nor freedom of expression included then what is democracy?

MP's should just walk out today let alone that to run for joke election!

"Governments that respect the will of their own people that govern by consent and not coercion are more prosperous, they are more stable and more successful than government that do not. This is about more than just holding elections. No country is going to create wealth if its leaders exploit the economy to enrich themselves-- No person wants to live in a society where the rule of law gives way to the rule of brutality and bribery. That is not democracy that is tyranny, even if occasionally you sprinkle an election in there. And now is the time for that style of governance to end. ------"

As Franklin D Roosevelt once said: "The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it comes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group."

kagnew true the 2005 election is far from being fair and free but on the other hand but for a first election in ethiopia history that is worth its name it was not that bad. specially for the opposition as you rightly said it won the entire addis council and its seat in parliament went from a mere 12 to almost 200. kinijit should have taken its huge gain and move on to this year election. instead it starts threatening the government and even its supporters some times based solely on ethnicity and declared it won. which led to the death of not only kinijit as we know it today but the infant democracy the country nurtured for decades.

In 2005 Ellection
Meles should know that he is rul¬ing with¬out a man¬date. He has maximum only 20% sup¬port in Ethiopia. That does not reflect pop¬u¬lar¬ity. The peo¬ple elected and voted in large num¬bers for change. A change that would have seen CUD would have been elected government to lead. Meles staled the elec¬tion. This man has no shame. His greed and thirst for power has destroyed any sem¬blance of moral san¬ity in him. We do have a med¬ical prob¬lem here, No man in his right senses would take his peo¬ple down the road of into ethnic division and at last civil war. But Meles is just a man. He can be stopped indeed. There are those who can stop him. And they should do so in the name of the peo¬ple. The peo¬ple want change. They want an end to this polit¬i¬cal night¬mare which has made them even poorer.
The west¬ern gov¬ern¬ments are not pre¬pared to help the people of Ethiopia, but a dictator with gun who will go out to do dirty job. They will if they see many go out to show their out cry and have peaceful demonstration from west to south from south to north to show their being chocked. The peo¬ple should rise up peace¬fully and demand an end to MELES’s rule. The world will be watch¬ing. The world would sup¬port any peace¬ful protest and Meles knows when that hap¬pens, he has no choice but to depart after a little fight. UGD, Medreck what¬ever polit¬i¬cal affil¬i¬a¬tions you have, it really doesn’t mat¬ter. You are all vic¬tims of this mad man’s deter¬mi¬na¬tion to use any means at his dis¬posal to stay in power. Don’t be fooled by his rhetoric. You should know by now that none of his rhetoric has pro¬duced any¬thing fruit¬ful.
The peo¬ple will con¬tinue to suf¬fer if they don’t stand up and stop this man. He is not pre¬pared to hand over power with benig¬nity and respect. He is a dic¬ta¬tor, and dic¬ta¬tors have a ten¬dency to cling on to power come what may. Dic¬ta¬tors only look after their own inter¬ests and the inter¬ests of those who sup¬port their mani¬a¬cal polit¬i¬cal agenda.
Should we just roll on our back like a looser dog and say help me lord Meles or should we stand up and tell him it is time for fairness weather it disadvantage 6 to 10% of population temporarily it is time for change. It is time for all opposition parties to join hands and say the game is over.
True Ethiopian’s, you should not allow this. When a man does not have respect for the rule of law or deci¬sions taken by the courts of Ethiopia, he is just unfit to rule. When a leader dictate the court and use military to stay in power he is TRUE DICTATOR. You are a peo¬ple who have tasted suf¬fer¬ing for far too long. Stand up and demand an end to this dictator’s mad¬ness and reclaim your beau¬ti¬ful coun¬try
The first demand should be free Birtukan your leader and then free speech and free movement! Asking for it is not just enough, but if not accepted since it is stopping democracy then you must stand up and leave the parliament of mockery.
Yes, Yeha, Z-Mike and likes will be jumping up and down since it is not benefiting them or their likes. All they care is for Tigray and all the people who allow only EPDRF to say in power for their own advantage that is it! Those people we call them opportunistic and greedy! In no meanse I am supporting for Tigary to be looked down or attached, but nor do I support special status to any ethnic.
2005 is gone but 2010 is coming for us to not be fooled again!
It is time!

The opposition parties chance of unseating the current government in the 2010 election is not great. However, if MEDREK's tactical and strategical moves outshine that of EPDRF's, the government might target to alienate the group, which is comprised of eight parties. Berket, if one reads the news critically one already has got it, seemed to have laid the ground for the assault that is going to come. Readers might be not paying attention to the benign word like penality, thinking it like as the same category as traffic ticket, but in EPDRF's language it is in the category of high crime, if not punishable by death at least does warrant life time imprisoment. Do not forget the Birtukan case. If the opposition parties play their cards wisely that the EPDRF will come out full force to destroy anything and anyone that will oppose their desire to govern the country for a century, if not for ever is a given. I am not saying that because EPDRF might turn out to be more authotrian-- more murderers to be apt- than before, MEDREK should hold up the surrender flag. No, I am saying exactly the opposite. Unless MEDEK is prepared for an eventuality that encompasses a ruling party that will go to any length-- including mass arrest and murder- to stay in power, MEDREK is not ready yet. I hope the politicians who live in Ethiopia and do their political work there understood the real EPDRF than somebody who live several thousands of miles away and get his Ethiopian political news usually from Ethiopian Websites.

Let anybody run and give Meles the hardest time he ever saw in his life because any weak person will win over Meles and will get 99% of the vote cased.

However people have to be on alert and prepared to handle the violent response coming from Meles because he knows that he is the looser before even starting.

As the time approaches for Meles to go away because has been holing power by himself for 20 years the situation for election simply doesn’t exist.

Let Meles be exposed one more time of his tyranical rule and rigging election and let the world disown him for good.

This time there will be no more excuse for any country to let his slide by.

The problem in Ethiopia has never been lack of rules. It has always been lack of will and commitment to respect the existing rules by the TPLF terrorist group. You can make millions of rules every day and sign agreements thousands of times every day but it is not worth the paper and ink wasted for it if you are not going to play by the rule you yourself write. This is only a futile attempt on the part of the terrorist TPLF to hoodwink the donor community who have repeatingly demonstrated the unmatched willingness to be knowingly duped by the stupid terrorist TPLF. The donor community is more interested in what terrorist TPLF pretends to look democratic than in what it is doing on the ground. They are saying to the terrorist TPLF something to the effect of '... it is ok if you only pretend without doing the job; we just want you to pretend democratic so that we can justify about donating aid to you to the tax payers back home as long as you agree that a huge chunk of that aid money we are giving you can somehow make its way back to our personal accounts...' They are interested more in the form than in the substance because the West found the pretension to be in their best 'national' or 'personal' interest. However, what is in the best interest of the whole Ethiopian people is the substance and not the form. The Ethiopian people know very well about such phony stupid drama and duping played by the terrorist TPLF and no one can ever buy it. Terrorist TPLF continues to stage such stupid drama and play with fire until the day of reckoning comes across. No body is interested to see such stupid drama by the TPLF other than may be its few handful fool beneficiary minions. BTW, the day of replacing the mediocre jungle terrorists and cadres currently occupying the Melinik palace by seasoned real intellectual leaders like Dr. Berhanu Nega and those in MEDREK is approaching very fast. Enough for Ethiopia to suffer in the hands of mediocre jungle cadres and terrorists and ETHIOPIA NEEDS REAL INTELLECTUALS TO EXTRICATE HER FROM ENDLESS MISERY, FAMINE AND BACKWARDNESS. derese

Jegna, that was really funny. :))

I would suggest you also nominate Lekim, grand slayer of the tribal village idiots, vanquisher of everything that ever was Ethiopian, the man who daily threaten us with swift and unambiguous retaliation, under whose presence every single human trembles at Nazret, etc etc :>>, you know, the one who loves to talk about our common home, until he is in power, of course....for EL Presidente of the Utopian Republic.

But I warn you, since its in the nature of looters to shift themselves to the office with maximum stealing capacity, you can expect Z Mike to end up in Kaliti soon. May be for some shady sugar corruption. That way Lekim will take over the crime minister position too, kinda like Patriarch bilut, ye Axum Nebureed, Ye Debre Libanos Itchege negne endalew kerfafa :))

It looks that nature is going to make corrections soon to minize the plight of the Ethiopian people. Of late terrorist-in-chief Meles looks very fragile and feeble as the result of his rapidly detoriarating health. Look at his very recent monster pictures. You can see it for yourselves. After being flown out of the country in emergency at the beginning of this week, he was hospitalized in a hospital in Beligium for a couple of days. He was forced to check out of the hospital without finishing his treatment and return to to Ethiopia after a short stop in Abuja, Nageria. The reason for his early check out from the hospital is believed to be the unexpected leak of the closely guarded secret of his terminal illness and hospitalization. Ginbot 7 radio broke the news and made it public after which terroris-in-chief Meles decided to check out of the hospital despite the advise and warning from the hospital's doctors. Thanks God for taking care of the Ethiopian people by removing the enemies of her people by your incredible might. Terrorist Meles is already on his way to his grave and his days are numbered thanks again to God for showing him the door. The prayers of tens of millions of Ethiopians (mothers, fathers, children, elderlies, wives, husbands, sisters, brothers, etc who suffer in the hands of the TPLF terrorist militia led by this terrorist-in-chief) is being heard, their tears to be wiped off, their hopes to be rekindled and their faces to reclaim smile. Terrorist-in-chief will soon be six feet under and the Ethiopian people will soon breathe a sigh of relief as the result of this terrorist-in-chief being taken out by none other than the natural correction. The Almighty God is returning its face to the people of Ethiopia. I cannot thank God enough for helping us to see light at the end of the tunnel. Uuuuuufffffeeey. Isssseeey. Temesgen

Dear Zenda,
thanks for your support. Yes,indeed EPRDF brought to our country for the first time in histort equal-equality to every human being Ethiopians including to the people of south.That is why we strongly supported EPRDF until the last minutes.

But in the other hand,the people who thinks Ethiopia is their own property they wont't excepted this because they don't want to see other Ethiopians to be as equal as themselves. That is the defferences betwen them and EPRDF.

Keep supporting EPRDF and don't hesitate to exposed the discarded diaspora based so called opposition parties.They are simply cry babies good for nothing.

Jegna,
that was funny dude. Some times we need something funny like that.Keep in mind on Yeha new position of disinformation would like to hired you as planner of how to enhanced for better service of our customer in Kility.If that something brought to your attention, please don't hesitate to call Yeha's personal secretary at 1800 Kality.com.

Shewarega you think you are funny fandiya.Those people you try to make funny of them are the people who give you the fresh air to breath today, other wise Mengistu could have swallowed you and your family for ever.

Tezebet,
Believe or not Melse is your leader.There is no one rejected Meles ever.In fact 99% of Ethiopians would like him to stay as prime minister the next five more years.You discarded forggotten diaspora may think Meles is bad in reality it is not true.You doggy diaspora don't like meles because I know why.
isn't you the one shabia was put you in road construction for 15 years in Sahel mountains?

Brother sami1,
Don't cry man. When the this up coming election is over you will be appointed to some kind of position. Z-Mike and Yeha will let you know as the day goes on.
By the way,how is your Tigrawity wife? please take care her nice.

Yeha,

Asama, first, if you expect anyone to talk back to you in a civil way, learn not to throw insults.

By the way, you are right, Mengistu did swallow my family whole, but he did not divide my country. It is you who swallowed a third of Gondar and a fifth of Wello, in broad day light. Like a maurauding Mongol occupier. What do you have to say about that? Haile Sellasie took it and gave it to Gondar, we are just getting it back, right? Or was it like one MALLT cadre said in here once, Zewditu gave it to Gugsa (her husband, prince of Gondar)? But the problem is they were divorced before she came to the throne, and never spoke again. But since you are the Minister of Propaganda in here, as Jegna put it eloquently, we do not expect you to say nothing else.

Speaking of Humera, I once saw a letter of Atse Yohanes, I do not have it, but I know exactly where it is in Addis. The ownner is dead, but I have told his relatives to keep all his documents in a safe place, and in due time, I will retrieve it. It was written during the Dervish invasion of Gondar. His majesty, God save his noble soul, was preoccupied at Sehatit, doing his best to contain the ever encroaching Italian exapnsion from Massawa. Therefore, he ordered the King of Gojjam, Tekle Haymanot, to march to Gondar immediately and force the Dervish out. The problem was that, half of the Dervish locust army was camped there, a daunting task for the army of Gojjam to remove. Tekle Haymnot sent a letter to His Majesty asking for more troops. This letter I mentioned was written by the Emperor in Reply. IT CLEARLY SAYS. We have recieved your request, Ras Hagos will come your way soon, he will have ex amount of troops, and will CROSS TEKEZE by so and so date into Begemeder. CROSS tekeze into Begemeder ante getata banda. That tells even a deaf that the border of Gondar and Tigray is TEKEZE. Case closed, you can settle refugees from Sudan, you can do all you want to shift the population, but the simple fact and truth remains. IN DUE TIME, every single LIE will be spelled out for what it is, a LIE.

Yeha,

We are all Ethiopian, both at home and in forigen lands. One does not become anti Ethiopian by becoming an opposing element to Eprdf, Medrek or any other political party. Anti Ethiopian does not mean those in the diaspora. If that was the case, there will be no challenger to any party anywhere in the world. What Tplf needs to do is stop its monopoly on power, or declare one party state. Anti Ethiopian is separeatist groups like OLF, ONLF and of course the mother of all LFs TPLF.

Your support for Tplf/Eprdf does not make you anti Ethiopian as my opposition to it does not make me pro. It is a lot more complicated than that.

Yeha, hello the biggest idiot and the dedebit moron…

First and for most Melese never been my leader and he will never be. He is your leader for sure since you worshipping this evil and hatemonger creature. FYI, The person I vote to be my leader is in DC and I call him a leader… I call him a leader because he took the chair with a poplar demand. I don’t think you can grasp that in million year you childhood experience really damage your mind for good. Please you will be better off if you go back to your jungle… do you really have a mind to think in what world that a political figure received 99% vote…moron not even Mandela with all that goodness and popularity did not get 99% of the vote… you might be confused Adwa and the rest of Ethiopia. I will be surprise if get 5 % of the vote let alone 99%. Anyhow my dedabit monkey friend I know and every body knows here you are one stupid TPLF but try to be reasonable no one can take your TPLF membership because you are idiot since TPLF is full of hater and people like you.
The other one my friend you can call me any name but under no circumstance i look like Shabia. At the matter fact there are so many similarities between you and Shabia,
1. you used to kiss their butt and they were your master
2. you used to fight side-by-side with Shabia to destroy Ethiopia
3. more than 30K TPLF member die for Shabia cause
4. you better thank Shabia without them you would be in the jungle eating “BALACE”
i told you and your like I am proud Ethiopian my family comes from the beautiful southern part the country. The part of the country today feed your people in the north. Get lost my friend you better be nice to Shabia you might need them one day.

I am glad I made you guys laugh, after all this election is a joke so it must be treated as such.

Yeha,
I will be home next summer so if one of those zebenyas you call soldiers messes with me I will probably be sharing a cell with Birtukan :D
