Al Moudi,
I celebrate your great accomplishments. Thanks for all you done for Ethiopia. If you really want to help us, use your wealth and power to bring democracy to Ethiopia. Did Meles threaten you? Truly a man such as you knows right from wrong. PM Zenawi imprisons the innocent and cause many to suffer without just cause. It is ashame to think that you are free to enjoy your wealth while Ethiopian mothers pray and wonder if their children are still alive.

Of course he is perfectly entitled to help the Tigrean people liberation front (even-though I didn't know until know that he still thinks the Tigrean people are not liberated form what? maybe TPLF? I have no idea) Anyway, anyone who lives in a democratic country has the right to support any of their chosen political party. Nevertheless this individual right doesn't guaranty any one to openly support a terrorist organisation or group. Period! You and every one else for that matter will exactly know what will happen to you if you extend and indicate your support to an organisation such as Al-qaida. The only difference between Al-qaida and the so called TPLF mafia government is in the target's of there terror campaign. While Al-qaida targets the rich, powerful and white people in general, TPLF's target are the poor, powerless, black people of Ethiopia. Now there are various reasons for all of us in supporting or not supporting such kind of organisations or groups. It is always easy to forgive people who extend there support for terror organisations or groups because they were either mislead, brainwashed or forced to do so. But how can anyone in there right mind support a terror campaign on there own people unless they are the benefiters of such actions? and his 77th position in the world is a reflection of that fact.

oh yea, he is up then. good for him, and am his investment in Ethiopia has helped. midroc's profit has reason by 86% this year only. so he is getting more than he is investing. Grate business man!! when he recieved his honary doctrate at Addis Ababa University. on a speach he made about constant questioning to why he is investing in Ethiopia, he said I quote " I want to be there before everybody else does." and He did. I think if he operates carefully the sky is the limit for this guy and he can take many more Ethiopians to the road to wealthiness with him.

Al Moudi has a right to support any political party he likes. May CUD supporters are not happy with that.

Many CUD supporters think that their patriotic Getem or Zeraf Fukera worth more than Al Moudi's contribution to his beloved country. What a bunch of lossers.

In the old days people use to show their love for their country by Getem and Fukera......CUD brothers and sisters that day is gone......Now the new Ethiopianism is expressed through hard work, and intellect which are compatable in the 21st century.

Wake up!

People please check out this two books. Dude, Where's My Country? by Michael Moore and Crude Politics: How Bush's Oil Cronies Hijacked the War on Terrorism by Paul Sperry.
They both refer to Al Amoudi as the mysterious oil magnet. It dont matter how he got his money but when you have a lot of money invested in a country you will also have a lot of influence in its politics.
Lets not get carried away!

We should all respect Al Amoudi’s right to support whatever party he chooses including the despicable TPLF, after all that’s one of the tenets of democracy. In my opinion, he shouldn’t be vilified just because he is in a collision course with the majority of Ethiopians, after all democracy is the respect of minority rights by the majority.

We are all thankful for his investment in our homeland and he deserves praise for that. He has shown our former and current greedy leaders, that there is no need to spirit the country’s wealth to Swiss accounts, instead you could invest in Ethiopia, create well paying jobs for your people, update and upgrade the country’s infrastructure and get rich in bargain. This is a win-win situation for all, like having your cake and eat it too. I entreat everyone to stop bashing Al Amoudi. It’s his money and he has a right to support whomever he chooses. Just like we have the right to boycott Pepsi and Sheraton (frankly though, how many Ethiopians do we know that can afford twelve birr for a cup of coffee).


Cheers,

-Gundan

The conspiracy theorists are funny. Alamoudi has "a hidden agenda", TPLF cadre", the destruction of Ethiopia etc... This man invested more than a billion dollars in Ethiopia, obviously he will support the status quo, business people do NOT like uncertainty. You guys claim to beleive in Democracy and when someone does or says something you disagree with he's labeled as the enemy of the people. You remind me of the Dergue, everyone was something (tsere hizb, bezbaj, tsere abyot, adahari) GROW UP

Al Amoudi can choose or vote for the Devil itself..that's his right!! but he'll have to reap the consequenses!! Sartre said "every man is the sum of his action". The question is not whether it's his right or not but who is he chosing!!

I had a great respect for Al Amoudi, but not anymore. I was stunned when I saw him, on more than one occasion, using his money to help suppress the Ethiopian people. I don't give a dime about his standings. To me he has become one of the oppressors. What he is going to do when we Ethiopian people succeed in getting rid off the TPLF regime?

This Al-Moudi is like all other Muslim leaders we know. Their only goal is to exterminate all other religions and make every nation an Islamic State. Zenawi really doesn't care. Rules don't apply to the ones in charge. You can see this pattern in Iran, Saudi, Somalia, the former Iraq and Libya.
Ethiopia does not need Al-QUAEDA Agents...we have EPRDF and that is enough trouble.
AL-Moudi is giving the Ethiopians in good standing jobs.WOW! Most Ethiopians can't even stay in his hotel. I have yet to see a true leader of Islam grasp the concept of democracy-maybe because there is nothing democratic about it.

Dear negista Azeb,

We are discussing Al Amoudi within a context here. Remember, he was in the Forbes list last year, and no one let out so much as a sneeze. This time around it is different, this time, he saw it fit to interject his wealth, popularity and prestige to the center of Ethiopian politics, and people do have varying opinions about this.

As to the proverb ‘Be Atse Menilik yedenekore, Menilik yimut sil yenoral’, you are damn right, that we have to bring TPLF to the fore. We all know from history that Ethiopia had all manners of enemies and survived them through the perseverance of her heroics sons and daughters.

The ‘TPLF’ as a group, are the ‘COKROCHES’ of our generation, and no true son/daughter of Ethiopia is going to sit or sleep today, until they are eradicated from our land and from the backs of our people.

We all are prepossessed with them, because they are working day and night to destroy our people and our identity as a nation. But one thing I can assure you is this, they will be destroyed too and Ethiopia will, once again stand proud and tall, God willing.


Cheers,

-Gundan

That is real wonderful to hear! The sheik is real doing a fine job for Ethiopia by putting most of his investments there. However, he needs to put some of his money to build schools, hospitals and roads in Oromia state because most of his investments are in this rich region. This particular region deseves to get the fair share of his investment money in terms of building those important things in that region. In Oromia, we always supportive of our native son: the sheik Al AMOUDI. His our native son and deserves the respect he needs it from his own people here and throughout the globe. By the way, I am very sorry for him by not having his own children. That is Allah's decision: Allah/God is great!

Al Amoudi is a champion to all African; he has opened the door of super wealth to all Ethiopian / African/ Colored people. Over 180 million people have an African African ancestry so far AL Amoudi is the very few to achieve high level success without any political appointment and inheritance.

Now it is almost certain other Ethiopians in the future will have more wealth than 7B. As for Mr. Al Amoudi for being the first which is so difficult, we have to congratulate him and wish more wealth and health. And for all of us not billionaires, it is encouragement to work very hard.

Wealth to all Ethiopians

People,please do not be fooled about this person so called Al-muodi.First of all, he is not an Ethiopian,he a saudi citzen. To me, that does not make me proud of him in any way. second: it is not good for the country to depened on a single person wealth since he owns major industries.Single person means single mind. God forbid, If things goes wrong with him , our country might be in big trouble. Third: This guy is making money. Yes, he has created many jobs that is true and good but,believe me that he taking advantage to make money, being born in Ethiopia, from an Ethiopian mother. Lastly, he is supporer of woyane,which is the most disgusting,courrpted,racist,low minded
short sighted, cheap, anti-Ethiopia ,anti-unity etc...Yes, he has everey right to support any political organizations of his choice but not at the cost of mothers, little children,and ethiopians blood.Inaddition, he has no any bussiness in Ethiopian politics since he is a saudi citzen.Even,according EPRDF constitute no foreign has right to endorse or elect in Ethiopia.Is he above the low because his wealth. we,Ethiopians,Since our country is poor, most of us come from poor family or it is our tradiation, we idolize the rich.To me i do not care about his wealth... I wish and pray one of us, true Ethiopian,who loves his people be like el-moudi even far richer than him.
Peace,for those who love peace with fairness of their heart.

Itis true that we ethiopians had not exprience in modern democracy. Last year election was the firist in our history which proved the lack of exprience we have in the process.Firist and formost we should respect the right of any ethiopian to support and vote any party.One the other hand all ethiopians have the obligation to support ethiopia. Ethiopia is the common factor to all of us.The contribution of an ethiopian to the development of the country should not be attributed to his\her support toCUD,EPRDF,or any other party.It should be assessed by what is clearly seen on the ground.More than any individual, Alamudin conrtibuted to the development of the country .If ethiopianess is to be measured he should be ranked second to noon.He is helping ethiopia and etiopians irrespective of theier relegion orethinic group.Some body who is suspecious of his mission should be realy paranoia and needs psychiatric consultation.

I heard his speech. I do not agree with his praise of Wyane. However, it would be shameful on anyone to suggest that he can't say the things he said. We are blaming woyanes for denying that same right to millions of Ethiopians. On the other hand we denounce the same principle we are fighting for. I think Al Amoudine is a great Ethiopian and should not be disrespected in anyway. Of course it is entirely OK to challenge him on his views, but to throw the words some of you spitting out on him is absurd. bye.

Teddy, I am not Alamudi, but I can answer the question. He called EPRDF a democtatic government because the government respects individual rights, like free speech, the right to vote and to demonstrate. Unlike the previous gov'ts. I know you don't agree with these ideas but it is true.

Are you preparing yourself to free us from TPLF or you are waiting for someone to do the dirty job for you? And by the way if there no rich person do you think the poor will survive? or do you have a different meaning for the work rich. Remember richness and development go hand in hand. Thanks

Dear negista Azeb,

Concerning Al Amoudi, I have already expressed my views a little bit earlier and will repeat it here save you from cruising up and down this page:

--We should all respect Al Amoudi’s right to support whatever party he chooses including the despicable TPLF, after all that’s one of the tenets of democracy. In my opinion, he shouldn’t be vilified just because he is in a collision course with the majority of Ethiopians, after all democracy is the respect of minority rights by the majority.

We are all thankful for his investment in our homeland and he deserves praise for that. He has shown our former and current greedy leaders, that there is no need to spirit the country’s wealth to Swiss accounts, instead you could invest in Ethiopia, create well paying jobs for your people, update and upgrade the country’s infrastructure and get rich in bargain. This is a win-win situation for all, like having your cake and eat it too. I entreat everyone to stop bashing Al Amoudi. It’s his money and he has a right to support whomever he chooses. Just like we have the right to boycott Pepsi and Sheraton (frankly though, how many Ethiopians do we know that can afford twelve birr for a cup of coffee).--

As to your second question, that’s how committed am I to see the back side of Woyane? I can assure you that I am one hundred percent committed. I am ready to pay whatever it takes including my life and that of my family. I am sure you will be glad to know that, I am not the only one with this sentiment. There are thousands and thousands in my city alone, and this is one fire let me assure you, that’s not going out without burning down TPLF and completely.


Cheers,

-Gundan

This gentleman is trying to live in peace. He has not asked you to bless him or curse him. He does not need that. His money is his, not your mama's. Why do you talk so much about somebody else's money? I don't talk about your money. I don't know anything about it and I don't care. Talk about your own money, I mean, those you steal from the parking lots and the money you force your "members" to pay to Ethiopian Review for promotion. Woizero Mamite bakes injera and barely makes a decent living in DC. Ethiopian Review comes and asks her to advertise in their paper. If she refuses to pay at least 1000 US, then she is in trouble. Then they will sabotage her trade and tell their supporters not to buy from her and that hurts poor Mamite. This is how CUD earn their money to spread their tribal propaganda. Do you call that fair? Coercing hard working women? They dare not say it for fear of retaliations. This methods of Don Corleone have been adopted by Don Hailu and Don Mesfin too. Sheikh Alamoudi did not earn his money that way. Leave him alone. And why do some of you write as, WE ETHIOPIANS? You are not a WE, neither in numbers nor in the Royal sense. You are you and nobody else. Who the hell do you think you are, ye sons of darkness and ignorance. This is how lies begin. Talk for yourself, not me, not Alamoudi, not all the others. Nobody has given you the mandate to represent us.

He has all the money he needs, what he needs most at this phase of his life was respect and admiration from people who can really offer. He is unfortunately faulterning, Faulterning big by supporting a fascist regime which has no mercy to its own people.

Supporting Meles's criminal regime can't be considered as political stand. It is way beyond that. Just like one can't claim to have a different political stand while supporting alqaeida. It is immoral and illegal to associate one self to a criminal entity. That is what Meles's regime is all about. With all due respect, Mr Alamoudi, I advice you to watch your stand. It wouldn't pay off at the end.

Mr Al Amoudi,

Have you ever wondered on whose land
you built your hotel? Or as you said
on the current Woyane party there,
as long as Woyane tells you "galbebet" you do not care.

The answer, it belongs to Emebete
Semaetwa Aboye, and her husband
the Addis Ababa Oromo chief
Fitawrari Abaebae Tufa. You see
she was the cousin of Emeye Menelik,
hence the proximity to his house
up on the hill. Yanem kezarew
yebellette alem taytobetal.
Telantena be Haile Sellasie enkwan
bezu tesertobetal. Therefore, my
friend, if you have good intentions
to help the Ethiopian people, its
commendable. But supporting this
hateful, inferiorty complex driven,
ethnic tyrant who has wiped away
our identity, who is looting all
he could get his hands on, and calling us names day in and day out
will eventually only lead to your destruction as you profitically
mentioned in this party of hateful
occupiers dancing on the corpse of our noble people.

No matter how much money Alamoudi has, he still spends sleepless nights not becuase of his worry about what he has but about what he can add on what he already has.
Alamoudi's alms to the woyane government is not political in nature but of a pure motive to widen the bussiness opportunity to accumulate MORE. No wonder he pledged to sacrify even his life for the TPLF/EPRDF government. Hope he doesn't entertain the idea of being a suicide bomber when the regime whose foundation is shaking and about to collaps.

You really are good in lterature. But as usual it is empty with out a grain of substnace in it. You pretend to write something of importantce but all that you do is damp your stinky filth on this forum. Just not to let you go away with your lies. Dr Birhanu has never been and never was an American. CVouldn't ahve run for election carrying an Amercian citizenship. Don't tell us that the masters of black mailing, TPLFites have kept quite so far knowing well that he is an American. Look after all those beautiful literature, what comes out is consisitent lie. On the other hand, here are some persoanlities among TPLF condoms who were abraod and took the opportunity to loot that country when EPRDF took power. Some of whom still maintained their non Ethiopian citizenship. Dawit Yohannes (former DC cab driver)and house speaker, Ato Kifle (prime architect of EPRDF's constitution), Kemal Bedri the head of the infamous election board, president of the supreme court, head of constitutional affairs and the late Dr Abdulmajid, the only one with cerebrum (former UN ambassoardor), DR Kasu Ilala current head of southern people..,and minstre of capacity building Professor Endirias, current AAU president and Meles's buddy (advisor), Dr Samuel (current washington Ambassador), former ministre of social affiars (still Australian) to mention just a few. I don't want to go to the list of "Sheraton gangs" who have recently extended their arm to US, which I am afraid you are a meber of. None of these have suffered a fraction of what he has endured from the previous regime Tegadaly Bekele tries to associate him with.

Do you need more facts. Next time I will write more about the sheraton gangs for which you have a mebership.

Well,

"You will never catch a fool with money!"

As much as most of us differ in opinion about the 77th richest man on this planet, we all have to agree that there are some very good points to be proud of.
He is the richest black person!
He is related (born and half by blood) to Ethiopia, one of the poorest nation!
He is growing! and fast!
He pledges to allign himself with ethiopia!
thank God for that....
Now, I wish he was saved, so that he will also go to heaven! because we all will not last long, some 70 or 80 years only, and the rest is waekness.
And relegion does not guarantee what is to come after death on earth!
And if this man got saed, and our political leaders Got saved (soul) it definitely will be better for the whole nation and even the continent that Ethiopia is bound to lead, I even want to say that will be good for the black race.

But now we have to congradulate the richest black man, Al Amoudin. We hope you mean good for our Ethiopia.

Does it matter where Al-Amoudine gets his money as long as he invested in Ethiopia?
Is it not his democratic right to affiliate with any party he wishes to?
Supressing one's right of choice and forcing yours into someone is contradictory to democracy.
How many of you guys stealing money from parking lot and gas station to build $1M dollar worth of house in Ethiopia or trying to do business.
Should you also be investigated?
"before you take out a spike from your eye, how could you tell your friend to take a spike out of his eye".
After all, he is helping the ethiopian people.
Finally, Thanks to this individual who serves his country in action.

What is the definition of true ethiopian?is it manifested by suporting this or that paty?or by singing a song about ethiopia?by organising public demonestration and manifesting the hatered towards EPRDF?the answer is none of the above.We know that many peaple especialy those in diaspora are investing outside and ethiopians are not benefiting from them. These individuals are also shouting to stop any aid to this poor country.How can these people be compared with alamoudin.If it was not for the help of alamoudin the office for the african unity could have been in tripoli.every thing he is doing is permanent property of ethiopia.LONG LIVE ALAMOUDIN.

How long are we going to stay in vicious cycle? We are always confusing and mixing the ruling party and our country and its people.when we want to oppose the ruling party we do it by harming our people.Let us look the last 30 years and we find that all oppositions against the governements harmed the poor people than the government. Mengistu ruled the country for 17 years and currently he is comfortably living in zimbabwe .Melese is going to stay in power atleast for 20 years and nothing is going to happen for him after that.The net result of our opposition should be clear to all of us.Now ethiopia is one of the poorest contries in the world. millions are suffering from communicable dissease.We can oppose any party or organization systematicaly and in a modern way.In ethiopia no party ,organization or individual should be considered as an enemy.The enemy of this country is poverty.We should concentrate to alleviate this situation.At least let us not discourage indiviuals who are are actively participating in this process.Let us resepect any bodys idea and support to any party.Is it a crime to vote for the republican or democratic party in USA .The citizens of USA respect the right of their billioners to vote for either party.Ethiopia is lucky enogh to have one of the billioniers.Like any individual he has the right to support what he likes.We should be able to differentiate a governement from the country and its citizenes.This is the time to wake up and stop the vicious cycle of enemity to each other .

The fact that an Ethiopian, at least by birth, is named in the top 100 richest people in the world is a BIG DEAL. He is the richest Black Man on the Planet, impressive stuff.

There is no doubt in my mind that Al Almoudi has done a great deal to contrinute to Ethiopian economy. One only has to visit Ethiopia and witness for yourself.

And no one should deny Al Amoudi who he supports politically. But in my humble opinion it was a BAD JUDGEMENT on his part to support TPLF in public. He is a big time businessman and investor and his support of Woyane has been very polarizing, and it serves no purpose in the long term. Because Woyanes time are almost over. Unless he is completly out of touch, anyone with the right mind knows that, Election 2005 was stolen, so why would a man of his caliber and stature would put himself for ridicule by supporting Woyane or any government for that matter in public.

His strength is how to make a dollar out of 50 cent and he should focus on that and get out of politics.

There is a world of difference between Arabs and Ethiopian Muslims.
The Arbs well know the Arabic language and so they can read the Quran, whereas Ethiopian Muslims don't know Arabic so they can't read the Quran which is full of hatred towards Christians, Jews and other non-Muslims. Got it?

It was with utter disgrace that I was reading most of your comments in this forum, dedicated to the wealth of Sheikh Mohammed Al Amoudi. One does not have to be a rocket scientist to figure out who are most of these people who are stating their bias opinion and try to impose on others their tribalism.
Let us come clear on this. Only Amharas are the ones who are green with jealousy.

Let us come to one understanding, Oromos, Guragues, Somalis, Haderes, Kotus of Harrar…etc we are all Ethiopians. You like it or not. We do not have to be Amharas to be considered Ethiopians There is no such equation, Ethiopia = Amharas.

First and foremost it is irrelevant how this man got all this wealth. The one thing noble about him that we, Ethiopians should be grateful for, is the fact that he chose his country of birth to invest and give the chance to make decent living for so many of our compatriots. There are about some thirty thousands people working in Ethiopia for this “Arab”. This man is only ½ Arab, the other ½ is Wolloye. So according to your distorted mentality a person from Wollo is not an Ethiopian anymore??? Wow, it is getting very interesting!

The man could have invested this money in any foreign country and be respected for it.

Second, it is unfair to judge him on where he stands as far as Ethiopian politic is concerned. He has all the right to choose any party; but it was not smart, business wise, for Sheikh Al Amoudi to express explicitly his political affiliations. But again, who said that there is correlation between wealth and brain?? Most of these people on Forbes’ list do not even have a Bachelor Degree.

Here are my opinions about most of you guys. First learn how to spell and write in proper English. An eleven years old child can write much better English than most of you guys/gals. It is a shame that most of you living either in Canada or in the US and are never trying to attend any school to improve basic English language. All of your ambitions is to work in a place like parking lots where you can steal and just show off your SUV.

Hello little boys, needless to remind you that this is the forum for Sheikh Mohammed Al Amoudi; either you congratulate the man or express your venemous (Amharas)comments only; It is not a forum where uneducated, simple mind, envious "little boys" exchange their radical, distorted political views. If you guys want to say something about Meles, bring it to the attention of this Web Cordinator to open a forum where you guys can insult each other to eternity. So, let us all Ethiopians take a moment to congratulate Sheikh Mohammed Al Amoudi to be the first man with black heritage to be nominated in the Forbes'list. Let's keep our envy and unfounded accusation on the side and be proud of this man who has invested more than any one else in Ethiopia. So join me to say,"Cheer Sheikh Al Amoudi for the very good year in your business dealings"

I wish you think of once again and advise the leader who you have been promising even your lives for their ministry.. but why, what does it mean. You came as nationalist but now are are becoming opportunist, but why.. to accumulate more wealth... don't forgot all will pass but good deed and truth will..

He received elementary education at the Queen of Sheba Junior Secondary School in Adwa and completed High School in 1972 at General Wingate School in Addis Ababa. He then joined the Medical Faculty of Addis Ababa University where he studied for two years.

Meles interrupted his studies in 1974 to join the struggle against the Dergue regime.

Upon his return from the field, Meles acquired a First Class M.A. in Business Administration and another one from the Open University, following the distance education he completed between 1993 and 1995.

Come on you guys, we are here on this forum to talk about this Sheikh Al Amoudi. Not religion, not Meles. Capish?? Testa dura??

Let me quote Haile Selassie, “Religion is an individual issue, but the country (Ethiopia) is for everyone.” – “Haymanot ye gara nw, hager ye hulum nw”. So let us keep religion or any belief system in our cozy home. When we leave our home we are one – Ethiopian- not Amharas but Ethiopians

In Ethiopia religion should transcend tribalism.
Get inspire by listening to the lyric of Theodros – “Anchim be yamanotish, enem be yamanote”

As it is, we are already divided into so many tribes, so many political factions and the worst being the socio-economic strata.

When the French were defeated in the war of Algeria, the French president at that time, Charles de Gaule said, - “Pride is tasteless, colorless, and sizeless. Yet it is the hardest thing to swallow.” This quote is for the Amharas who are still resenting that a Tigrean administration is in power. There was a time when Amharas were in power, believe me there were so much atrocities, but no one resented them. The Arabs have a saying, “ Kulo bil wakto” which translate in the facto language of Ethiopia, amarigna “hulum be guizew”

Since we are on this sheikh Mohammed forum, let us talk about him.

Sheikh Al Amoudi
If ever you read this forum, please note that when the king of Saudi Arabia died he was buried in a simple white garment. No palaces, no jewels, no billions were buried with him. Only his body in that white piece of cloth.
Since your bio says that you are in your 60’s with no kids, and now that you have proved yourself to the point to be nominated in the Forbes’ list, please now prove yourself to be humanitarian as well.

I am not suggesting giving alms left and right, but helping so many entrepreneurs as a stepping stone. There is a universal saying, “Instead of giving fish to someone every day, teach him to fish”.
There are thousands of fellow Ethiopians who have brilliant business ideas, but no collateral to start their business. It will be of immense help if you can put some money on the side for this project. – Helping hands to future at least millionaires.
As we all know, you did not achieve this status without the help of someone very generous.

I think you are new to this forum. I say this as I keep reading your futile attempt to remind posters about the topic, which is about Shiek Alamoudi. As you could see for yourself your appropriate advice has not been heeded. Welcome to Nazret.com forums. You should expect more of the same in the future. The postings are rarely about the topic at hand, they are about the easily predictible and continuosly polarized attitude in Ethiopia.

I for one join you in congratulating the man for his unbelievable achievement. Only comment I have, well, I would imagine a person of his stature should have known better than wearing an EPRDF T-shirt, and thereby setting himself to unfair bombardments as a traitor of Ethiopia...

And on what Hailesilassie said, a correction, it should read "Haimanot yeGil, Ager YeGara" not as you put it-“Haymanot ye gara nw, hager ye hulum nw”.

1. The enemy is qualitatively different than us.

3. The enemy has harmed us in the past with impunity.

4. The enemy has plans to harm us again in the future.

5. Unlike the enemy, we are noble and deserving of the good lives that the enemy would deny to us

6. The enemy is united so we must also be. Those of us who undermine our unity are traitors or agents of the enemy.

7. This is the final battle. If we win we will move on to a bright future free from the threat that the enemy poses.

This man has come to his poor people just to contribute in the way he can, then he felt in love with the leaders because he has seen them sweating day n night for the good of their people.

Then you cabbists come from a corner and try to destroy his reputations and want to bankrupt his businesses.

But this man is sent by God to Ethiopia to help its people. That's why he excells all the 100 something people before him.

This is a sign dudes confess to the lord and your country to save your ...


BTW, he has finished a contract to buy 'Legedadi', now we will see if you still gonna BOYCOTT its product. ;-)))))))))))))))

The 77th richest person in the world is an Ethiopian by blood.How ever, His contribution to the nation is not significant. His main focus is sided on the tyranny government who abused the poor nation. Currently, he is becoming the agony of the poor people of the nation as he is prefering to be the back bone of the dectator group of the country.
Let him be sided on the decator,s walk, we Ethiopians shall win the tyranny.

We hear that this fake Sheik is a billionaire. However, is there any figure to tell how much money the fake Sheik invested in Ethiopia? (I mean investment from his pocket)
On the contrary, according to the information I have, the fake Sheik owes 13 billion Birr (1.5 Billion US Dollar) to Commercial Bank of Ethiopia.hammmmmmm…

Does anyone know how profitable Sheraton Hotel is? What I do know is, based on the information I have, that the owners of Sheraton Hotel are Meles and Al Amoudi.

We are proud of the news that a black African poor is being the 77th richest group of the world.

However, we need the heart than the head to be part of the people of the poor. This perso is rather prefering to be partners of many of the beautiful ladies of the country. In this case I am ashamed of saying this but the realty.

He is highly in need of dating any of the beautiful ladies and I thing this may contribute for the spreading of the deadly virus.
