Hailu Shawel from his Hospital bed in the USA ordered the firing of DR Berhanu Nega, Birtukan Midekesa and few others!
Culminating the ongoing internal squabbles between convicted and pardoned kinjit leaders, Hailu Shawel ordered Bertukan Midekesa Berhanu Nega and few others to cease representing Kinijit and to immediately account for all funds raised. He has also ordered for a special investigation to look in to the affairs of those fired. Kinjit born out of Washington DC hotel USA has died for all practical purpose in a USA Hospital somewhere!
The 64 thousand question we have is how did so many people trust these people to run the country during 2005 election? How did EPRDF fall for their tricks and allowed such bunch of losers to almost ruined the country in the name of democracy? Can Ethiopia really afford the pitfalls of Democracy at this time?.
The statement was read in paltalk room that is closely affiliated with Hailu Shawel. [Aigaforum 12/11/07]

Now you see it now you don’t.
We have told you our esteemed readers that the Extreme Diaspora was/is destructive and hazardous to Ethiopia’s democratic process. Though it has been hard to convince the fanatic extremist to play a positive role we are glad the majority of the Diaspora who was taken hostage by sick and “ebed” priests and all kinds of born again politicians that swear in the name of Kinjit has heard our frantic call. Today “menfes yihun geuze” Kinjit is no more! What is left of the famous or infamous kinijit -pick you choice- is no other than but AAPO and the resourceful part time activist Berhanu Nega.
You should know that while AAPO is trying to wrestle the mantle to become key opposition party within Ethiopia, the “arada” politician Berhnau Nega is smoothing with Hana Gobeze in Portugal and doing his “research”. He has convinced his gullible supporters that Ethiopia is under distress and in need of a new government which he can deliver and yet he has taken time out to do some research work!
Mean time Berhnau’s followers in the country are left cold dry with out an office in Addis outsmarted by a “fara” politician from AAPO. Read more [Aigaforum 12/10/07]
- Somalia

- (Aigaforum 12/07/07):- Tigray Disabled Veterans Association (TDVA) representatives were welcomed to a warm reception in Las Vegas. According to organizers, Las Vegas held a very successful fund raising event. A record number of people filled the hall and raised over $20,000 which includes about $17,000 in cash. This is a record for Las Vegas and organizers could not be happier. Next on the fund raising tour is Washington DC on Dec 08, 2007.
- Dagmawi wants to know if there is a difference between Derge and EPRDF. I want to ask him in return if he knows who the Derge was. If he answers that I promise to answer his question. I am doing this in fairness to him. Even the Elephants of Sheraro knows the difference between the Derge and EPRDF. The almost extinct Elephant population in Sheraro (Tigray) is numbered in the hundreds these days. Local people think it has to do with the prevailing peace. This on top of the many stories of Lion and Hyena population in Southern Ethiopia. Now if animals can tell the difference why can’t a human being tell? It is amazing how Dagmawi has deteriorated this far simply because of his love hate relationship he has with PM Meles![Zeru Hagos 12/07/07]
