Seattle University cancelled Lucy exhibition event

Written on Friday, September 26th, 2008 at 2:06 pm by ethioforum

lucy ModelEMF - Seattle University, Pacific Science Center, has cancelled the exhibition event of Lucy where the child killer Meles Zenawi, was scheduled to appear.

“We have written a protest letter to the university and they have honoured our protest to cancel the event with Dr. Samuel Assefa, Woyane Ambassador to the United States,” the prominent lawyer and political activist Dr. Shakespear Feyissa said in a telephone conversation with EMF. Ethiopian’s were also preparing to depose Meles Zenawi upon arrival. The same protest letter is being submitted to Washington University, Shakespear said.

The 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton was sent out of Ethiopia for a tour of the United States — a trip that some say is simply too risky for one of the world’s most famous fossils. Many wonder why the fossils of Lucy had to be sent abroad for foreign exhibition  while it should have been visited in Ethiopia. Lucy has been in Ethiopia over the last 30 years displayed at the National Museum in Addis Ababa.

      Your story that the Seattle University cancelled the Lucy Exhibition is not true. After I read your top story I logged straight to the Pacific Center web site and, lo and behold, the programm is on schedule!
      This is not the first time this EMF website has made up stories. I remember one article that was popsted under the name “The Ethiopian People”. Now we have one Shakespear in Seattle abeting in this make believe.
      Why? Why is it neccessary to tell false things boldly,coldly? This is not Addis Ababa where info is rare.
      Please stop such non-sense.

      Keep exposing the child killer until we brought him to face justice.

      It can be done and it will.

      Bravo Seattle,

      Thanks so much my beloved people of seattle. Thank you Dr. Shakespear Feyissa and others.

      Good Job my people in seattle, you guys have done a magnificent job to protest the anti human masterminds of TPLF led by meles sytanawi.
      As you all know that the original Lucy has been sold to unknown party by the criminal and corrupted groups of TPLF, and the money that was found out of Lucy was gone directly to the pockets of Meles Sytanawi’s families and other top crime orchestrator members of TPLF and their idiot, and racist supporters and also to the HODAM cadres of weyane.
      Now it was confirmed that the fake Lucy has been kept for visitors in Texas and was scheduled to be seen in Seattle.

      Anyway, the almighty Ethiopian community of society, particularly Dr. Shakespear Feyissa and other strong Ethiopian that are very angry by the gross killings of Meles Sytanawi and his self owned party TPLF , has made a wonderful measure to cancel the event.

      Seattle, you guys have done your part propely, and we all will continue to protest the Weyane child killer officials everywhere. At the same time Ethiopians of everywhere are boycotting from buying any items that comes from Ethiopia, and from getting any service from the core weyane supporters in Diaspora.

      Lets all boycott from using weyane’s stores, restaurants, gas stations and others to show our aggregation to weyane criminal group supporters.

      Together we win…..and time to join Ginbot 7…

      Death to all members and supporters of criminal group of weyane

      Hello,

      There seems to be some confusion about this due to sloppy journalism. Here is what is going on:

      The event at the Seattle University slotted for 10/2/08, entitled ‘Understanding Ethiopia Today’, a lecture by Ambassador Samuel Assefa is cancelled due to huge opposition and outrage by Ethiopians living in the greater Seattle area, headed By Shakespear Feyissa (an Ethiopian lawyer living in Seattle).

      However the exhibition of Lucy at the Pacific center will go on since Ethiopians in Seattle, have no quarrel whatsoever with Lucy ‘Dinkinesh’, our common ancestor from 3.5 million years ago.

    28. Guenet Says:

      Gomoraw,

      If you knew what real democracy is, you wouldn’t want us to shut up. You should ask your “brave government” to let learn more about it.
      Bravo Ethiopians from Seattle! We have to show Woyanes that we won’t stop the struggle until our country is free.

    29. Surafel Says:

      To the illiterate TPLF cadre so called ‘Gomoraw’ :

      Agents of child killers and tin pot dictators (that is beggars for you) have no business of lecturing anyone about anything. Ethiopians in Seattle strongly believe that the place of TPLF agents and their hirelings is, not in front of a lectern, but behind bars. Now God willing, with HR 2003 soon passing in the next congress and with a new president in the White House, that day is not very far.

      Seattle is and will remain a Woyanie free zone and those who forget that will live to regret it. We understand, this hapless brain dead scheme of bringing the ambassador Seattle was hatched by one, Solomon Tadesse and his wife, a paid TPLF agents with a million dollar budget and a $5000.00/month office complex rented in downtown Seattle. This former con artist has the phony title of ‘Trade and Investment Consul’ which means he is a Woyanie SPY, since he is not generating any trade or investment opportunities aside from building his own mansion in Addis. In the coming days, we will be working hard to unmask these demagogues by informing civic and human rights organizations in the area, as well as their neighbors and associates, regarding their ties with the repressive and murderous regime in Ethiopia.

      Notice to TPLF and their agents: We are watching you and there is no safe hiding place in the whole world for child killers and murderers of innocent civilians. Remember Milosevic?

      i agree with you about dimocracy. but remember there are a lotof loosers
      dident understand what democracy means. and my point was for them.
      this ppl are full of hate emagen if this ppl come to power what do you expect from them?.NADA.
      but also i disagree with you what do you mean we wont stop until our country is free?. ethiopia is free country there is no enemy in our country
      so free from whom?. i wish you R trying to say we need change. that will be nice. and i love also change but peace fully & democraticaly.
      but not like ukrean orange change no no no becarfull there are ppl trying to change governement in our country like ukrean & that was in 2005

      we knew that EMF usually trust to Shakespeare report. By the way, Shakespeare is NOT a doctor. He is simply a lower who graduated from very small university known as Seattle University. His life is miserable and he act like a teenager. He is so emotional and he is extremely eager to be known. So, people outside of seattle assume that he is a doctor or matured and so on . This guy does not have a clue what is going on in Ethiopia. He was promised by former Kiniget members to get good position in Ethiopia. But, that one did not happen. He was so mad. He is not in a position that forget about preventing and he CANNOT be able to open discussion with University of Washington. Trust me this guys is NOT MATURE ENOUGH

      This is to stuipid Losser Shakespeare (Feyessa),
      Sorry not more chance for those losers. Especially, Shakespeare is acting like a king of Seattle. Who is he? He has bad record person and constantly drinker. But, He act like he know everything. This stupid guy is nothing to ethiopia. We have a wonderful knowledgeable ethiopians who study medicine in top universities and helping a lot of people. But, he never incorporate collecting used books or computers to send to Ethiopia. This guy is focus only on hate politics. I am 100% sure with this guy nothing will change, he will see Ethiopian is changing while he is getting old and hopping to get power by short cut. The point is a lot of Ethiopians are gaining eduction either back home or in different western countries while this looser is killing his time.
      He needs to focus on changing personal behavioral change first.

      Keep doing what you are doing and we will continue working hard too. So, we will see who is leading in all aspects and who is lagging behind.

    35. Woyane Idiots Says:

      Power Monger—I am admiring Shakespear even more now. He always mangers to get to the Woyane nerve. Just because he is not a sale out do not hate him. How could you call someone who has a law degree, a doctor, and an intelligent person a “losser”? only idiot woyanes cans say that…so get over your hate and jealousy…you woyanes can be rude and stupid without being ashamed..

      To the so called “Welfares”
      Sorry Welfares, no matter who Shakespear is, either he can be a Doctor or drunker or drager we don’t care. That is his business. At least as you said he graduated from “small” university. There are people like you and me who don’t even know where the small universities are located.
      By the way, we, welfare receivers, only care that our mission hits its target. Shakespear did his part as an Ethiopian. He tried to stop woyane cadre’s big mouth from opening wide. If your business is to protect meles and his regime, pls go ahead and continue, until Ethiopia got her judgment from God. But I am afraid that you guys have peace of mind for just to make your stomach full. Stomach never been full.
      I am proud of Ethiopian community in Seattle. Lets pray all of us to understand each other and to work as a unity to our beloved country and to bring our country at least one of the last noncorrupted country in the world. If we want, yes we can.
