Tedla Asfaw — It was exactly a year ago here in the Diaspora we were debating to find Ethiopian word for the English word “millennium” while the TPLF media bombarded us with millennium including those who are known TPLF supporters here. True to its Amharic equivalent I coined as “Minem Yelem” of 2000 the coming Ethiopian 2001 new year of September 11 will be not new year “Addis Amete“. We can say from the experience of 2000EC it will be the coming of “another disaster” or “Addis Meaat” pronounced as Addis- Me- aat.
Here comes the Ethiopian “Mineme Yeleme Addis Meaate” translated, the “Ethiopian empty and hopeless coming year of 2001″. You can accuse me of being pessimistic who always say “negative” about the “development” of Ethiopia. You are wright !! I forget the million Birr counting farmers of Ethiopia Tagaye Azeb Mesfin “disclosed” on her educational interview recently.
Tagay Azeb Mesfin’s statement is partly true. There are less than half percent of the ruling TPLF who enjoy life in Ethiopia,counting in millions and want to celebrate the coming year hoping their wealth to double and triple. The “few millions” unfortunate urban and rural poor,however, will be fed for the new year with cheap “wheat” made available thanks to our hard working prime minister.
However, fourteen millions of Ethiopians have to forget about new year what I call “Addis Meaate” waiting for the unfolding of another disaster . It will be a year of starvation and many deaths both in rural and urban Ethiopia. This coming “Addis Meaate” surely will start as the past year thinking on what to eat,drink and worry for survival.
Last week on “Nestanet Le Ethiopia Radio” there was a report of school children in Addis Ababa collapsing in school for coming to school without food. It was also reported on the radio that humanitarian organization might be forced to set up feeding centres close to schools. This is the Ethiopia of Meles Zenawi which is boasting of double digit economic growth and claim controlling the current “food shortage” in Ethiopia according to him exaggerated as famine by his enemies to score a political point.
The year 2001EC is going to be a year of famine,war and hopelessness and to come out from this crisis Ethiopians have to say enough is enough and take matter on their own hands. TPLF policy to rule poor and destitute Ethiopians forever by staging make believe elections has to be challenged and defeated with coordinated “Enough is Enough” mass mobilization.
Ethiopians current problem of famine and war is TPLF made and until our people are freed from this rule we will never celebrate New Year of hope but recycling the Old Disaster with New Disaster or what I call in Amharic “Addis Meaat“.

Yes! the up coming new year is a holiday for racist and hodam members and supporters of TPLF along with the crime orchastrators leaders of TPLF, while the up coming holiday is a disaster for many million ethiopians who can not afford to buy almost nothing to celebrate the holiday as they used to be back 17 years ago.
Now lets stop leaking our lips everytime we hear the non-stop attrocities of weyane, instead lets stop the weyane criminals from continuing thier daily crimes against our people.
So there is not going to be a better time to engage our self with the best fighting party like Ginbot 7 if we really angry about the non-stop crimes of weyane……
Lets join the fighters of Ginbot 7 with our support in money, time, skill, labor and everything possible….
In addition to that:
The best way to reduce the price of foods in Ethiopia and to maintain the whole inflation and to bring the best justice and democracy and to stop hearing other innocent death of Ethiopians, and to protect our sovereignty from enemies, to stop corruption of in various areas of Ethiopia, to silent the gossip village talkers and diaspora war mongers and character assassinators of EPRP and to stop angry about the DENKORO Hailu shawel group and its Diaspora remnants ,in general the best remedy to all problems of Ethiopia is just
TO GET RID OF THE WEYANE CRIMINAL GROUP BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE…
DEATH TO ALL WEYANE MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS……….

Tedla I have big respect for your contribution on the political arena but I diasgree and even confused with the term you coined “Addis Me at”" for the new Ethiopian year. The new year is not for TPLF or Meles but for Ethippia so that sometimes we need to respect our people and culture by not giving such nonsense meanongs.
Wish a happy and prosperous New Year “Addis Amet” for all Ethiopians!!!!!
