I use my ears to liten, I use my eyes to see, but most of all, I use my heart to judge. It is about time for the worlds most power full nation leadres to put all three together.
When your civilians citizens get killed by others you called it terriorism.
when innocent africans get killed by the dectator leaders you do nothing, rather you show them support.
Then how can you win the war against terriorism?
the question asked by many in the west this days concerning the Problems of hard line islamists is "why do they hate us?" and they soon find easy and selfserving answer like "because of our way of life." If the mother or sister of the young boy who was killed in front of his house by cadres of Meles developes mistrust and negative feeling towards the leaders of the free world, it has nothing to do with their way of life. It has to do with the simple fact, that this leaders of great democracies pose for foto with a dictator a couple of days after he ordered the killing of a young boy in broad day light !
Ethiopia is on dangerous track under the hands oe few unscrupolous leaders who manipulate a few people who stuffed their mind in to their stomach and think only through their stomach. These are people who do not care what is happening to their people to their country and to their sisters and brothers for that matter.
President Bush- sir I am fully ethiopian but here serving your country and the people of Irqi's freedom and I am proud what I am doing, but my people are dieing in ethiopia they don't have a freedom, they can't say what they want to say, they can't even raise their hand and show the peace symbol, young people and and collage student getting aressted for nothing I can be witnnes I was there when it happens I went from Iraq to ethiopia and belive me sir I have seen every thing, so please sir do some thing for ethiopia. me and my fellow ethiopian us soldier will volenteer for any mission. and hope to see a freedom of my own country.
Enough is enough.Please don't limit our democracy by the time you pass through to arrive at this days of democracy in your country. Allow to us to exercise the full version of democracy in Ethiopia as it is done in Europe.
Your excelencies, don't think you will solve the problem of Africa by donating food or giving money. Just bolster the peoples struggle for democracy and help them throw away the blood thirsty tyrants. Don't affliate yourselves with such persons as Zenawi. I can't be sure he drinks blood of a human being but he loves let flow over the street and watch it. I don't see any difference between himself and the international terrorists. Both kill and enjoy the bllod of peaceful civilians flow.
Please, stand beside the Ethiopian peoples they start already fighting against terrorists like Zenawi.
I believe that President Bush and PM Tony Blair clearly know the situation in Ethiopia and the substance of Meles’s dictatorial rule via his pseudo democracy. But why they are unable to be on the majority citizen’s side?
Dear President Bush and PM Tony Blair,
If you fail to support the interests of the majority public demanding democracy, you are breaching your own policy and will result in increasing at least supporters of terrorisms against you around the world; disappointed by your unreasonable move.
The test of Meles' real concern for his own country and people,however,is his government's grotesque meanness towards the opposition leaders and the massacre of all unarmed protestors.
President Bush and Prime Minister Blair:
We ask you to fulfill your promise to stand together with those who struggle for their freedom and democracy. Ethiopia need your support more than any time.
Please help us our democracy dream come true. Peoples voice must me respected. We Ethiopian are freedom and peace loving people. God bless Ethiopia and its people.
Dear Dr G Bekele,thank you for your unselfish efforts,and sorry for not responding soon.
This's my message to whom it may concern:Ethiopia shall be free.If you ,people who hold responsible positions wherever in the world and can do something about this horrific undertaking in Ethiopia,yet being negligent to the Ethiopian people,you'll regret it soon.The massacre in Ethiopia is no different from the bombings in London.Criminals in both events should get similar treatments,if not worse for the former.If there's no justice there's no justice.There's no inbetween.We need justice,we need it now.
This's my prayer:Our Lord,why do you forsake us?Please hurry to help us.We don't have nobody but you.Place your mercy upon us.Lord,hurry to help Ethiopians.
All humanitarian organizations around the world should be allowed to see these prisoners.
All Ethiopians at home and around the world should let the Djibouti government that we will not forget their actions against these pilots. A time will come and we will take the necessary action against Djibouti.
To Meles and his cadres: We will avenge the torture and killings that innocent civilians go through. I say to Meles that none of his family members will be exempt from this. Just as you hunt down our people, you will be hunted down.
I am thrilled and honored to have you Ethiopian-Americans for Democracy family, that truly and efficiently represent Ethiopians and voice their feelings. I guarantee you that all Ethiopians in Diaspora all over the world, will never give up fighting the Meles regime who is destined to stilling the voice of Ethiopians and killing the innocent children of Ethiopia. The blood that is shed in Addis and other provinces of Ethiopia, just after the election, will never be forgotten. This tyrant government has to go, and those murderers who committed the murder and the ones who gave the order will be brought to justice, and the crime they committed will fit their punishment. As every Ethiopian my heart bleeds and weeps for those poor mothers who lost their children in cold-blooded murder. I hope that sooner or later justice will be done, but till then we need to continue fighting any tyrant that considers itself above the law of Ethiopia. Well done on your fight for democracy. God bless you all. Thank you! hmd
We are the oldest independent country in Africa and one of the oldest in the world - at least 2,000 years. But we are starving,suffering and dying for over 3 decade because of the weak and stubborn political leadership we have since the socialist regime of Col. Mengistu H.M. Thank you Dr G. Bekele for your intiation on this matter.
Oh...Lored,save our heros!Things gein stronger...These time Ethiopian Tensae came in closer.There is no dout about it,we weer in the dark,now i can see the light spot.We suffer a lot,we starved a lot death...every thing happen on as so..ETHIOPIA,she all ready rise up nothing could stop her!!!
152. Asameneu smells Tegady lets pray for him. He sounds like Hitler supporters who would say he was great for German. After u have lived in the west for sometime, you should have be able to understand what a human life is worth. Clean youself brother.
i strongly agree that The UN specially usa and UK should do something about the hoorable incident that happened in ethoiopia. It is the most barabaric thing ever.
CUD is inline with US long and short term interest in Africa. PM Meles government has mastered how to impress Western donors and receive funds for different development projects and then scam the money from the appropriated projects in collaboration with the Chinese government companies. One good example the Addis ring road project that started by Canadian company and later awarded to the China's gov. owned Co. EPRDF government sabotaged the Canadians to fail and awarded the Chinese government owned co. And off course in the later days they received kickbacks from their Chinese comrades. Mr. Balemma who was the ambassador to China at the time and who is heading a secret operation with China in Tigray State is the liaison for all the scamming that goes on. US need to pay attention to these masked communist leaders of Ethiopia. US should always side with the Ethiopian people. Compromising US democratic value for temporary strategic interest will cost US foreign policy in the later days. If US continues to watch the recent events from the sideline, and the peaceful struggle for democracy is hijacked by the smooth talking PM Meles, President Bush message to tyrant leaders in Africa and Asia will not get its literal meaning. It will be a disaster to US foreign policy in Africa. Meles is a kind like of Saddam and Noriega. US state department need to give this guy a second look. He is the Chinese boy in Africa. In the near future he will not side with the US. US should learn from it own history of the cold war era, siding with this decay Pinoche's like PM Meles, who murderred over 36 democracy activists and students, is wrong by any standard of western value.
Dear Mr. Bush and Blair,
No body with a rational judgment can justify the death of an innocent citizen. However, every citizen is also obliged to play by the rule of law. Being a witness in Addis Ababa, I have watched the short cut road the opposition leaders followed to seize power unconstitutionally. They pushed innocent youths to their death against the standing law of that time. When their strategy did not work and they realize that things were going tough, they turned themselves towards solving the vote irregularities in a constitutional manner. Do you think so many lives would have been lost if they adopted the latter option right from the beginning? Please don’t support opposition groups for the mere reason that they are opposition. They should be able to act RESPONSIBLY for the good of the country and its people, not for their own sake.
This is the least I can do for my beloved country. I'm ready to accept any sacrifies for the promotion of democracy in Ethiopia. I hope the brave and galant Ethiopians will reclaim their country back soon!
It looks sometimes very tragic to think of them and what characer the Meles Regime has and what it was doing very time it was rushing to come to power and the 14 years fully futureless adminstration. It now is becoming the very worst and unpredictionable governace which it looks no one ever can admister except the minds of eprdf/ meles. People in ouside should know that it is by far difficult to say the situation ethiopia what it looks now, which it were tragic before let alone today.
U should know that this regime the highly corrupted which they look the fredom fighter for their followers in the light and develop their finacial muscle in the noghts, which they are clearly are not governors but traders with gove´rners close. Look the organisation licensed in the name of the cadres by the minstry of justices which no body knows where the money goes and it is working.
THANK YOU PRESIDENT BUSH AND PM BLAIR FOR IGNORING PEOPLE'S VOICE FOR DEMOCRACY. THANK YOU FOR COOPERATING WITH THE GOVERNMENT WHO STEAL PEOPLE'S VOTE.THAT IS HOW YOU STAND FOR DEMOCRACY.THAT IS HOW YOU KEEP YOUR WORDS.
It is sad to see that political expediency prevails over morality and humnaity. I hope these powers will shun double standards and act judiciously and justly to support the ethiopian people who are being brutalised by quasy democratic ethnocentric dictatoril regime.
As you have done a great job in relieving developing countries of their debt recently, I kindly beseech to do even a greater job to Ethiopians by relieving them of the tyrant, Meles Zenawi with more urgency. As the great and the good, kindly do this for our vested mutual political interest.
I am very disappointed by the policy of the Bush administration regarding the stolen votes of the Ethiopian people because although the US knows that the Melese regime stole the people’s vote, it is not willing to apply on the Meles regime the same kind of pressure it applied on Ukraine, Georgia and Yugoslavia.
Mr. Bush why you are turning blind eyes and deaf ears to the stolen vote of the Ethiopian people?
Mr. President what is the deference between the stolen vote of the Ethiopian people and the stolen vote of the people of Ukraine, Georgia and Yugoslavia?
No.126 by the name Daniel is not Ethiopian but a well known Merecenary who colaborated with Ethiopian government's brutal murderers called "The Agaazie Brigade". They are all blood suckers hence no one takes them seriously on any planet. They get joy out of killing their brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers and that has been proved too in their rotten history. God will punish them for all that and many other things their committed on Ethiopia and innocent Ethiopians. Hence all those crimes were nothing to do with the opposition but the regime and their sold out dogs like so-called Daniel, his father and mother. Daniel, get a life and stop making spectacle of yourself in public. The whole world knows you are like cats that eats her children. You TPLF Bastards, murderers and blood suckers, get lost!
The death of even a single innecent ethiopian is a great loss. However, the main cause for all the losses we witnessed in Ethiopia are the unconstitutional approach and inciting by "THE IRRESPONSIBLE OPPOSITION PARTIES" who wanted to be at the top overnight at the expense of the blood of the poor, while they flew members of their family to safe heavens outside the country. PLEASE HELP US BUILD A RESPONSIBLE AND MATURE OPPOSITION.
Ethiopian Government and its security forces have used the horrible terrorist attacks as a pretext to justify their speed-up in implementing their ill conceived agenda and to fraudulently steal the people's vote.
The continous killing and torture taking place in Ethiopia by the EPRDF administration is wrong and against all international laws as well as the law of the land in Ethiopia. World leaders and the international community should clearly understand that the authorities of the regime are carrying out the job of wiping out all oppsition elements just to stay in power and promote their own selfish interests. Illegal violence of the gov't forces should stop and those imprisoned should be released immediately. Peaceful, lawful and democratic processes should be enabled to triumph.
"Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph." HIM HAILE SELASSIE
Mahatma Gandhi once said "Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary" I have no doubt in my mind that the EPRDF regime will step down by the force of Ethiopian people. I think PM Blair and President Bush should listen to Ethiopian people and help the nation in this crucial time. We are a freedom loving people. We rather hunger to death instead of being robbed off our freedom. Sir, you have both turned deaf ears to the plight of Ethiopian people by standing shoulder to shoulder with Ethiopian EPRDF regime. Sir, I do not expect American or British solders to die for our freedom, as usual we will die for our freedom, what we are saying is please in the name of democracy do not back this evil regime.
We are only looking for freedom, justice, honour, duty, mercy, and hope. This is not too much to ask we are entitled to that by birth up until the likes of Mr Zenawi came to power
On May 15, 2005 election was held in Ethiopia. While the election was halfway the opposition was leading in 458 of the 523 seats of parlament which were to be decided by the May 15, 2005. The result for Addis ababa and other main cities was decided on the first day of the vote count. EPRDF also found out that the trend in the rural areas was not to their favor. They knew that from half of the votes counted the opposition was winning in 90% of the voting districts. They knew if the election was continued, they are going to lose. The stopped the vote count for a day and they declared that they have won and they are preparing to form the next government. At this time they also started a nation wide campaighn to rig the electiony stuffing ballots with their own voting cards. They also declared demonstration are illegal for a month. Because when people see votes being rigged people are going to demonstrate. Finally people demonstrated and up to 40 people were killed and thoudands were imprisoned. I know the EPRDF leadership are smart and they always know what to talk and tell to western govenments. Besides they also participate on global war on terrorism. The truth of the matter is that the EPRDF it self is a terrorist group which kills people and steal money from the nation and deposit in various banks around the world. The banks include the Citibank in Newyork. Any terrorist group which kills innocent individuals should be challenged even if that terrorist group declares that they are supporting the USA.
The ruling regime accused of the opposition parties for vote frauding,demolition of the constitution and initiating ethnic violence among the Ethiopian peopple.
all this allegations were purposefully undertaken by the master-minders of PM Melese and his colleagues Bereket Simon in cooperation with the bandit Addisu Legesse in order to stay in power for the next five years.
inlight of this,the ruling class brutaly murdering of parlamentary elected members and abusing of the opposition party leaders and members by aresting,torturing with no humanitarian conditions at different region of the country.
All this activites doesn't build or lead us to a peacefull democratic enviroments.What does lead us to a democratic nation is ,give respect to the people vote.
Long live Ethiopia!
