30 December 2008 (BBC) Ethiopia’s main opposition leader has been sent to prison to serve a life sentence, after a pardon granted to her last year was revoked.
Birtukan Medeksa was among more than 100 people jailed for offences after controversial polls in 2005.
A dispute over the terms of her release caused her re-arrest.
Her colleague Berhanu Nega, who was also pardoned and now lives in exile, told the BBC it showed the government “was hell-bent on staying in power”.
The BBC’s Elizabeth Blunt in the capital, Addis Ababa, says Ms Birtukan was a former judge and one of the younger and more charismatic leaders of the coalition which did so astonishingly well against the ruling party in the 2005 elections.
Our reporter says that while in jail facing charges of treason, she became even more of a heroine, attracting widespread sympathy as a single mother separated from her baby daughter.
After the opposition leaders were pardoned and released last year, she emerged as the leader of a new coalition, the Union for Democracy and Justice (UDJ), painstakingly stitched together from various opposition groupings to contest elections in 2010.
Mistakes
The government news agency, quoting the ministry of justice, said her pardon had been revoked, since she had denied requesting her pardon.
Ms Birtukan’s problems started when she spoke to journalists abroad about the way the opposition leaders were released, our correspondent says.
She talked about negotiations which had taken place between the opposition and government, with the help of a panel of elders, before their pardon was granted.
The government prefers to lay emphasis on a document signed by the prisoners, regretting any mistakes they had committed and asking for pardon.
This implies that their release was part of a normal judicial process, rather than in any way part of a negotiated political deal.
Mr Berhanu, who was elected mayor of Addis Ababa in 2005 and now lives in the United States, says the aim of the government is to “humiliate” any opposition to its rule.
“What this is doing is to change the nature of the struggle,” he told the BBC’s Network Africa programme.
“There is no other way to freedom and liberty in that country without getting rid of this government.”

Even in May 2005, no one expected Meles and the blood-drenched Woyane will give up power peacefully. The idea then was to expose the hypocrisy of Meles who was at the time was boasting as the most democratic African leader, wining and dining with the likes of Tony Blair and the G8 leaders. We in Ethiopia all knew that this Meles was a hypocrite par excellence and he will not hestiate from reneging from his word and engaging in subtefuge to cling to power. As we predicted that indeed happened, and as we expected the courageous CUD (Kinijit) showed that the “king” was indeed naked.
But we were caught by surprise. We never imgainged that Meles and Woyane will go this low. Now this is KILET par excellence! The accusation and jailing of Teddy Afro was one woyane kilet. Now the foolish and incredible excuses the regime concoted to arrest and imprison our heroin, Birtukan, leaves any one with the least common sense breathless and dumbfounded. Would a regime go this low to cling to power? Would a regime lose any sense of balance and common sense to cling to power? Meles knew that Birtukan didn’t have to even campaign to win the 2010 election. Thus, the best excuse to exclude her is to claim she denied she asked for pardon.
Who cares? All of us knew the arduous negotiations that the Shimgagiles undertook to free the political prisoners. Stories were rife that Meles under pressure was going to release them any way and he only needed a face saving to do so, and the helpless prisoners as we;; as Woyane were willing to admit some mutual responsibility for the political predicament the country found itself at the time. Hence the Shimagiles’ involvement, and the final release of the prisoners.
But now, Woyane insisting that Birtukan should not “disclose” or discuss a fact that every one knew to be the case is not only outrageous but beyond anything imaginable. If any one has any doubt from now on that anything good could come out of this treacherous and vindictive regime, then it is clear that such person has an agenda of his or her own to sustain Woyane rule come what may! Any civilized debate then becomes a waste of time!

Debteraw web site reports the sexual encounter between Birtukan and a woyane agent. Elias kifle insists there is an unholly alliance between Biirtukan and Meles Zenawi.Who ended up in jail to serve the rest of her life?Why? Of course!It is Birtukan. All this name calling and character assassination only because she refused to wage the struggle by remote control from Washington D.C. Elias is a hopeless case.He is the Rush Limbough of Ethiopia. A tabloid journalist of the worst kind.Some accuse him of being a paid agent for non other than Esayas Afeworki. You can understand where Aiga forum or Ben of Ethiopiafirst are coming from. They are on the other side of the fence paid by Al Amodi and Woyane respectively. But those supposedly in the opposition camp maligning one of their own is beyond comprhension. Tsegaye Gebremedhin would turn in his grave had he known the gutter reporting of present day Debteraw.
We need to take the struggle one step ahead. Think of Birtukan as your own daughter, sister, or wife. That’s what Woyane has taken away from you. Can someone step up to the plate and take his daughter, sister,or wife? Can someone with balls do an “elder Kabilla(congo)” style of elimination to Meles Zenawi? In other words, speak to them in a language they can understand? Whatever happened to the Ethiopians of yesteryears( Zerai Deres) who were willing to give up their lives for a good cause?

This hoopla of the diaspora arond pesonalities like Dr. Berhanu and W/t Birtukan Mideksa has not confused the diaspora but may have disappointed the Ethiopians at home, where they the ambivalent media are shouting on top of their lungs for personalities they designated as moderate opposion and shunning the the hard liners of AEUP and EPRP.
The moderates hailed and promoted by the ambivalent media, whose inclination is in part to replace the current regime with with lesser of two evils and /or to work in collaboration with the current regime. The current regime allowed for a political regime for UDJP under pressure and submissiveness of UDJP leader, who said in a letter to Prof. Isaac, lanifata Tegabtenal. That is a big policy statement of cooperation, and the dissident group were insisting a back door diplomacy rather than HR 2003, I paraphrase as another principal statement and Dr. Berhanu Nega was urging in his testimony in congress was nothing more the requesting to put pressure on the current regime, i.e. diplomatically, I paraphrase, to say the least his latest armed struggle, which sounds bizzare.
In that scenario the the armed struggle by EPPF and other genuine armed
have been dampened and genuine peaceful struggle by AEUP and EPRP and the arrest of the Andent Gazzette of AEUP and seize of the press is not made public by these ambivalent media and supporters of moderate personalities do not shout about the release of these other party officialls. Thus the political movement of the diaspora, not at home follows personalies but not principles of national interest like freedom of the individual, freedom of the press and freedom of speach at least in this context in unified and consistent manner, but not selectively for moderates, which amounted to being submissive personalities to the current regime. Nevertheless, based on the principles the media and the diaspora should be rallying for personalities on both sides.

But recently and yesterday we were caught by surprise. We never imgainged that Meles and Woyane will go this low. Now this is KILET par excellence! The accusation and jailing of Teddy Afro was one Woyane kilet. Now the foolish and incredible excuses the regime concocted to arrest and imprison our heroin, Birtukan, leaves any one even with the least common sense breathless and dumbfounded.
Would a regime go this low to cling to power? Would a regime lose any sense of balance and common sense blinded by vindictiveness? We are not suprprised by his motive. His motive has always been never to surrender power to democratically elected leaders loved by Ethiopians. Meles knows that Birtukan didn’t have to even campaign to win the 2010 election. Even the mention of her name in the ballot will bring havoc to Woyane. But the excuse he gives through his mouthpiece Bereket was most brazen. Thus, the best excuse that kiletam Woyane can come up with is to claim she denied that she asked for pardon!! What a hutzpah!!
Who cares? Everyone knows the arduous negotiations that the Shimgagiles undertook to free the political prisoners. Stories abounded at the time that Meles under pressure was going to release the political prisoners any way and he only needed a face saving mechanism to do so, and the helpless prisoners as well as Woyane were willing to admit some mutual responsibility for the political predicament the country found itself at the time. Hence the Shimagiles’ involvement, and the final release of the political prisoners.
But now, Woyane insisting that Birtukan should not “disclose” or discuss a fact that every one knows to be the case is not only outrageous but beyond anything imaginable. I am in total disbelief that a regime will go this low in its reasonaing and cavalier attitude towards its public image!
If any one has any doubt from now on that anything good could come out of this treacherous and vindictive regime, then it is clear that such person has an agenda of his or her own to sustain Woyane rule come what may! Any civilized debate then becomes a waste of time!

Armed Struggle to re-unite “Eritrea” and Ethiopia under the banner of the Axumite Empire. Our point of departure should be the pre-1991 status quo. The Berhanu group should dissociate itself from Eritrean groups, who are for secession of “eritrea” from Ethiopia. በአጠቃላላይ ኢትዮጲያ ለተባለችው አገር እንነሳ:: ዳር ድንበራችንን እናስከብር:: ጂቦኡቲና ኤርትራ ግዛቶቻችን ናቸው:: አለዚያም ግማሽ ድል የለም:: ህዝባችንን እንሰብስብ ታሪካችንን እናክብር:; የዓለም መሳቂያ አንሁን::

Dear Editor
I heard dr Birhanu, Andargachew, Muluneh and Chekol on G7 radio. I think it is an interesting interview. It could be attractive if you post it on the front page.
I am deeply touched about her imprisonment.
Victory for the poor.

December 30th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
hope the rest of udj guys are not going to blame Birtukan as ordered by Meles,in that case ,it is equivalent to suicide. Why?,simple, if they legitimize him with her arrest,that will be one up two more to go for him to completely destroy the so called opposition .They would be better of together than divided- otherwise will be a terrible mistake!
December 30th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
To Menyaregal
I fully agree with you. We should bring ourselves to the front and fight against this notorious regime by any means. Now it is time to devise workeable and conceret plans to wage the struggle forward. Everyone must present himself to the front.
But don’t forget that not all movements are holy. There are some so called political movements who are not far better from Woyane, OLF is one. They destroy Ethiopia if they get the chance to lead it. Hence, we must choose our movements wisely. We should not join any movement because it opposes woyane.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Enough is enough, the people must say. We cannot take it anymore.
God please speak sense to our leaders, who are taking away our existential rights, to choose our leaders, to organize our people, to fight for their rights. Our rights are being chipped away. Our ears are muffled with unbearable pain. Our eyes are shattered by misery. Our mouths are being denied their rights to speak, through our leaders.
Dear God, speak, please speak, and save our historical nation, from entering into a civil war that we cannot afford.
We have patiently waited for change. We continue to silently bare the pangs of hunger. Our mothers cannot nurse their babies. Our fathers, permanently unemployed, squander their days at Bars, wishing that the pain will go away by the power of Tej and Tela. Our young bodies bored and hopeless take it on reckless sex, to only discover that our bodies are now ravished by AIDS, and let it be we say, let the body part company from the soul, so that when we are gone, we shall meet God to purify us from pain, hunger and hopelessness.
I leave the legality of Ms. Birtukan’s right to recant or not recant, to our able lawyers, as important as the question might be. That is not what concerns me here.
My concern goes deeper, to the marrow of the bones. If our leaders, who are peacefully organizing the people to demand change cannot exercise that right, what rights are then allowed them by the constitution? Should not the rights of the people who are coming in record numbers to listen to their leaders, count for something, or is the democracy that the regime never fails to mention, a democracy that listen only to those who sing its praises?
I say to the people, this time we must resist the intimidation of our leaders by marching on every street, every road, and every corner within Ethiopia and its Diaspora.
Resisting regimes which do not respect our leaders are simultaneously violating our existential and legal rights.
We will be remiss if we do not resist Ms. Birtukan’s right by the right constitutional measure of protest at the right time, for the right reason, at the right place, and for the absolutely right reason.
I must add, we must do this in millions, and Solidarity Movement for a New Ethiopia must take the lead, and put the Ethiopian people toward rendezvous with victory.

Sorry guys, I can’t find what Birrhaanuu said in the BBC report. I do not think I jumped it. Let me go back to the report again.
Yah! Yah! I got it now. He said ” it [the arrest of Birrtuccan] showed the government “was [is, rather] hell-bent on staying in power”. For God’s sakes, who does not know this? Even a fool that roams the streets of Addis knows this. Can’t Birrhaannu say anything better? Tell him to talk sense.
Oh! Oh! I found another one.He talks about “…change of the nature of the struggle.” He goes back to selling his “all inclusive struggle” that includes waging civil war. Waayyaanne will kick Birrhaanuu’s ass at one go. So tell him to stash somewhere the money he is collecting and forget the civil war.
Tell him also to unequivocally condemn the arrest of Birrtuccan - the great leader of the silent peaceful revolution in the country. Her arrest has convinced the diaspora and the people in the country to rally around her.
Lots of money is being raised by support committees. Dry season for Birrhaanuu’s camp.
Waayyaanne will release Birrtuccan soon and hand over power to her party - without war.
We say Bravo to her and her party.

All this makes me sick to the stomack.
1. These so called Shimagles MUST start to tell the truth or quit being used by Woyanne. We need to pressure them to do so. We know their names.
2. We need also to make it clear to his supporters and the International Community that Meles is deliberately ordering his private forces to use violence on civilians. What is the need to use force on a 78 years old?
damn you Meles and Bereket! You can put Birtukan in jail but there is one fact that remains to be true: You are responsible for the killings of 2005 and more.

Go and visit www.ginbot7.org and listen the unwavering message that Berhanu, Andargachew, Muluneh,,, aired on Ginbot7 radio regarding Birtukan’s illegal arrest and detention by bloodsucking Woyane. People like you who are impulsive in character assassination based on speculation and trumped up charges are a disgrace to humanity and a burden to this country

Yes, indeed; Ethiopiaans must permanently remove the invading forces form the surface of Ethiopia. As the case is in somalia, the invading forces of tplfwoyane are packing up their belongings minus their, the forgotten dead woyanaetplf invading soldiers from the streets of Moaqadishu and running to and into Ehiopia where they might not know,there in that land, they shall be defeated and be sent to their dark and ugly grave for eternity.
That day, the most awaited day is surely, around the conrner where members of the invading forces and the crimefamily would be captured at the hands of the mighty Ethiopians, and ,and would be grabbed by the neck, hooked and squezed behind the neck, like a mighty carnae lifts the load up and up to the sky,and on arriving the realisng spot, those captured members of the crimefamily, like the dust, gravels, and the piles, they shall be realised from that high to that deep and shallow grave of the devils to their eternal death. Amen!

Dr bre is the next watched by Ethiopian government who is coolaborating with shabea.
But it is futile attempt he is a talker from his childhood.
But he need more money from naive diaspora followers for his biil here in USA.
