This is how bad the situation is!

A mother washes her malnourished child outside the Medicine Sans Frontieres facility near Sheshemene, southern Ethiopia, June 8, 2008. Some 4.5 million Ethiopians need emergency food aid due to failed rains and high food prices, reviving grim memories of the country’s 1984-1985 famine, which killed more than 1 million. Picture taken June 8, 2008. (by Alemayehu).

Meles Zenawi’s dictatorship in Ethiopia is saying the food crisis news is exaggerated by foreign media. The regime is rather busy bolstering its defense budget by $50-million (about 450 million birr) to brutalize and terrorize the Nation. Instead of providing food to the starving children, Ethiopia’s irresponsible regime handed out 100,000 flags to it’s Defense and 500,000 flags to the so called Millennium Festival, according to Walta.

      Unless we remove weyane which is led by the shabian corrdinator Meles and his dummy TPLF memebers, we can not resolve the Ethiopian people problem. The TPLF regime led by the idiot shabian massager Meles and Sebhat is highly devoted working on damaging the Ethiopia as a whole. So the best remedy is to get united especially among oppositions either by working together or working separately but by attacking only weyane nothing else to bring what we want for Ethiopia. Actually, the main obstacles on the on going struggle has been those that are claiming them selves as oppositions but restlessly working to abolish strong oppositions work. These individuals are the so called opposition sites oweners that seems they are supporters of EPRP but entirely working in the destruction of the oppostions groups , ethiolion, Debeteraw, Maheder, and others who are working with the collaboration of Moron Hailu Shawel and Dedeb Taye w/ semayat. You guys needs to stop attacking and character assassination of the major strong opposition leaders like Dr. Birhanu and Birtukan and start attacking the main Ethiopian people enemy weyane which is led by a few shabia elements of Meles and Berket. Finally, weyane and his idiot supporters don’t care about the Ethiopian people interest, since they have a big ultimate goal of securing their financial situation and killing the Ethiopian people as much as they can. GOBEZ….we are the solution so lets contribute our own part to save Ethiopian from weyane regime.

      Meles is doing the right thing and what he stands for. He came to destroy the country and crush the nations pride and moral. He is doing it right. Why do we blame him. We are to be blamed for letting him do this. Of course the US dictatorship is behind him.

      Mr.Hagos. it is true. you are in the right track. as you said. to solve the present problem in Ethiopia. work together, we must not work as individual. otherwise we will not win. the other day Sbhat Nega was swearing Eritrea was colony by Ethiopia. while he is being a part of government body. as they are a sub shabia representative, they do not care about Ethiopia and it’s peoples as much as controlling the finical sector and the army which is payed to define the country. but become the kill machine in order to protect the woyane party. the only thing which can not understand, why can separate from the rest of the country rather hold the country has hostage in the name of government. i do not mean to hurt the true Ethiopian, but the evil and the disease must go as devoice than making Massey. irresponsible alway work against the well of the people. while people are dieing raise money to feed unproductive army to guard the top sub shabia bosses. while foreign countries are donating money to feed the hungry people, the property managers are busy to prepare for their bosses body guard in the name of defiance. Ethiopian has not real enemy from outside. the real enemy is in side the country holding hostage the people.

      Hi All;

      To those who live in the 12th planet!

      Ethiopia is doing far better day by day and year by year. Those the Dergist and the Amhara chauvisits are always tarnishing what the government is doing here.

      It is amazing, one creates a story the other refers to the same and they create a web of lies and fabrications so that they think they will defame and finally overtook the government position.

      To many of yours surprise, HOW CAN A GROUP(S) NOT TOLERANT OF HIS/HER COMRADES ATTITUDE/BEHAVIOUR CAN BE LEGIBLE TO HOLD A POSTION TO RULE 80 MILLIONS!

      YOU CANN’T RULE A COUNTRY BY FALSIFYING AND BLAMING!

      LOOK FOR YOURSELVES AND CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING OTHER THAN TRYING TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY!!!

      I know, by any measure, the Amhara chauvists are not sympathetic to the Ogadeni people rather they are using the ticket to get some holes around the international community….

      EPRDF in the other side, though it has weakness and short commings, are doing better than these illiterate so called Phds. Forget your Phds and come to your senses!!

      Ethiopia needs practical people not orators!!!!

      Organize yourself as a strong opposition and try to shape this country’s feature rather than tarnishing its image.

      Million fragments are not affordable by the current situation of Ethiopia whether in the opposition or the ruling.

      We have poverty, illiteracy, uncivilizedness, etc… in front of us to tackle with ….

      Don’t mastrubate rather act!
