Letter to Ban Ki Moon from the Eritrean Regime
After Playing deaf ear to the international community plea to cease and desist its role in Somalia and elsewhere in the Horn of Africa , the Eritrean regime is doing all it can to thwart an imminent third sanction that will really hurt the regime! The regime is trying to change the composition of the UN monitoring group this time instead of changing its own habit!
Also, the regime seems to fear the UN monitoring group more than it fears the Ethiopian government even with its latest tampering of Ethiopia's sovereignty when it sent mercenaries to carry out terrorism!
Prime Minister Meles government and Isaias Afeworki Regime
The Ethiopian government has effectively transition from being known as a TPLF/EPRDF government to Prime Minister Meles government...Prime minister Meles is set to retire in the coming three years. His legacy as a government head will be remembered for generations to come. Given all what has happened so far do you think Prime Minister will be happy to retire from politics without resolving the problem Ethiopia has with the one man regime in Eritrea? Do you agree or disagree the problem Ethiopia has with Eritrea today is significant enough that prime minister Meles has to address while he is in office? In other words, is this a must for PM Meles to resolve if he wants to keep his otherwise magnificent achievement as a government head untarnished? Have Your Say!
Thank you Charlotte!

Human Rights Watch “Becoming More Catholic than the Pope”
Ermias Mekasha Jan 24, 2012-
The allegation made last week by Human Rights Watch (HRW), whose excellence in fabricating lies is unsurpassed, that “the Ethiopian government is forcibly moving tens of thousands of … people…in Gambella region to new villages under the villagization program” was totally deceitful intended to undermine the otherwise noble scheme aimed at bringing socio-economic and cultural transformation of the people ,

Very good and informative report from Reporter!
The other day we read a report from Access Capital recommending the Ethiopian government to privatize many of the government owned key companies! And we wonder why? It is possible someone can use the above debt analysis as an argument for selling these key companies as access capital suggested! Is there more to this Access and Reporter? Aren't these companies poised to generate enough funds to pay back their loans and more?
