Ye Chenqew Erguz Yagebal!

Reading the reaction of the Extreme Diaspora to Congressman Lantos press release why he killed HR2003, I thought about the following Ethiopian age old saying: Ye Chenqew Erguz Yagebal! Need I say more! May be?

A message to all Diaspora Ethiopians for HR2003
Let us use the current opportunity created by the elders to our collective benefit. Though I am personally glad this bill is killed, trust you me the Ethiopian government although do not want to sour US relationship if push comes to shove they care less if this bill pass or dies. I urge you to think hard and not derail the window of opportunity. Stop believing a congressman will deliver you the promise land. You have a promise land with a bright future. Go visit and you will like what you see. That is a promise, granted you go with an open mind. [Zeru Hagos, 7/31/07]



Taming Tekeze!
The Huge Tekeze Hydro power project in the north of the Country is progressing well. Over 50% of the work done, the project is slated to finish in less than a year and half. All major components are in place and the dam nearly 70 meter high in early July has started collecting water.

Security Council to discuss Eritrea’s Role in Somalia
Mulugeta Alemu, 3 August 2007


በሻዕቢያ ሥርአት የተማረሩ 1 ሺህ 150 የሚሆኑ ኤርትራውያን በመረብና እገላ ግንባር ወደ ኢትዮጵያ ገቡ(ENA)
[The exodus of Eritreans continues. This month alone over 1150 Eritreans from all walk of life left Eritrea on a daring escape to Ethiopia. The one man dictatorship of Isayas Afeworki is more than ever exposed. Soon or later this will come to an end. The Eritrean people should not be held as hostage in the name of demarcation.]


The UN-AU Biggest Peace Keeping Mission to the Horn it set to Impact the Sub-region

Lantos Addresses Erroneous Reports About Legislation on Ethiopia
WASHINGTON, July 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- To correct erroneous reports about the Ethiopia Democracy and Accountability Accountability Act (H.R. 2003), Chairman Tom Lantos of the House Foreign Affairs Committee issued this statement today:


Sec. Council Extends UN Role In Ethiopia, Eritrea
The resolution called on Eritrea to immediately withdraw its troops and heavy military equipment from the TSZ and on Ethiopia to reduce the number of additional military forces recently introduced in areas next to the TSZ...

Mulugeta Alemu, 29 July 2007:-

Comment:- One can not expect good thing to come out of the EEBC, but we will wait if Wedi Afom (Isayas Afeworki) runs out of Jelewoch by Sept 6 and decides to sit down and talk on how to demarcate the border. The Ethiopian government has been waiting!


CBE inaugurates 192 th branch
Dessie, July 29, 2007 (Dessie) - The Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) inaugurated its 192 the branch in Kemissie town of Oromia Zone of Amhara State on Sunday...
Comment:- While applauding CBE and the Ethiopian government for liberalizing the banking system and expanding the government owned Commercial Bank coverage of service, we were surprised to find out Debark town in North Gondar does not have a bank of any kind to speak off. Debark is the nearest biggest town to many inhabitants in North Gondar (Simen). It is at the center of one of the biggest tourist attraction center Ethiopia has. The indigenous Walia Ibex and Mount Ras Dashen are found near by. Though we do not see any good reason why CBE has not opened a branch in Debark town, we know the private bank excuse is that we do not open branches where CBE does not have one. We think Debark and the people around deserve a Bank now!


The coming and going of HR2003
(Aigaforum July 2007):-According to reliable source HR2003 will expire before it becomes law as was the case with its predecessor HR5680...

The involvement of Ethiopian Elders and successful attempt of Shimglina heralds the end of the madness follows the 70's Marxist ideologies which displaced Ethiopian unique way dealing conflicts and the return of the elders. With out design the elders are coming to be part and coming to be parcel of the institutions being built. Unfortunately, this is lost on some. In a face of with Professor Ephrem (Listen to Abebe Belew Interview) Al Mariam only showed his bullyish attitude and disrespect for his elders. HR 2003, which Al Mariam has spear headed, demands Ethiopia to be certified by American President and Approved by congress. The Al Mariams would have taken a lesson that when the Congress people curve the Bill puts Ethiopian sovereignty, its government, media and the court system under the will of American Congress, they made sure such action will be not be applicable if an action goes against the interest of the United States.
Those who were going around begging Congress should have been a shamed and learned from the elders the meaning of pride in Ethiopia. Alas, usual method of bullying and coercion for all who are not willing to sell Ethiopia for 20,000,000.
