This
guy is big time "ASHuAAFE." Four month turned to six
month, six months to "I will not decide to return unless
I find answers to my self." Why bother with the dirty job
of day to day real politics - if not for poor Birhanu who will
do the big job of thinking…and thinking! The fact is it
is not that Birhanu does not know what he wants - it is stated
in his book, in the first DC strategy speech, through his side
kick Andargachew - it is that he has a tried and failed strategy
(in the streets of Addis), tried and a failed alliances (AFD).
The country is not burning Berhanu! Fool me twice shame on me.The democratization procoss will not be a mockery of ARADAS, and US would not make
you the Ahmed Chalabe of Ethiopia.
Birhanu still dreams to be a rebel with out having to go the inconvenience being in the battlefield, pay the price, or feel the heat. It remain to be
seen if there are useful idiots from the Siye to Birtukan camp that would
do his dirty job or chart their own path. TICK TAC. |
How to make an Adversary…out of a supporter
It is said that the Arena’s have no Agenda
and TPLF/EPRDF should not sleep on the wheel in countering their
action. Reading the how
to manual…it shows TPLF will cede no ground to them.
However the approach goes too far...Alula Nega, 01/30/08

- UN chief chides Eritrea
Mulugeta Alemu:- Mr. Ban Ki-moon’s latest report on Ethiopia and Eritrea
throws scathing criticisms on Eritrea for its numerous failings including
its reluctance to accept his diplomatic overtures; its restrictions on
UNMEE’s operations; and notably its violations of the Temporary Security
Zone (TSZ).
- Comment on Birtukan Mideksa "Love" of the Constitution
The current news update by Ethiopifirst.com
on Birtukan Mideksa disassociating her self and group from AFD is
good news. But, is a simple declaration of statement good enough? Who
is AFD if it is not the group from Diaspora including Elias Kifle of Ethiopian
review and the other who is who from the extreme Diaspora she has been
talking every weekend to discuss if armed struggle is an option or not
in current Ethiopia?
If the EPRDF government has an iota of respect to the constitution they
should enforce the law of the land! The prime minister told the nation
in no uncertain term that Birtukan or any one else can not have it both
ways (hultum ataqeso mehed aychalem) It is about time he instructs his
government officials to respect the constitution.
I can not in all honesty see what good of an idea will come from Birtukan
conferencing every weekend with the extremist in Diaspora except to embolden
those forces who are inching to issue another fatwa to the unemployed
in Addis Ababa. Let it be known if our people are killed again in broad
day light by any one the government will be accountable. These cud leaders
have broken their promise when they were released from jail; their supporters
are conspiring every day in western capitals to undermine the constitution.
HR2003 is one case and their onslaught on the Ethiopian government for
doing its constitutional duty in Ogaden area is another case.Most Birtukan
supporters support the ONLF!
If Birtukan is to start another legal opposition she should denounce her
association with the likes of Berhanu Nega and Andargachew Tisge as well
as the extremists who have been in bed with AFD and have been financing
her campaign. Aiga Reader, 01/28/08.

'To impose democracy from outside is inherently undemocratic'
Ethiopia's prime minister, Meles Zenawi, tells Simon Tisdall in a rare
interview that western policy in the region is ill-informed and at times
arrogant
At first glance I thought Donald Payne was searching through
his vernacular where the Ethiopian border starts…okay the virtual one Isayas Afeworki knows about- when I saw the picture above…But lately I think I have found what he was really trying to see. The one-man dictatorial regime in Eritrea has been jailing and eliminating his enemies unabated. Even the Orthodox leader(
read this news) of the faithful in Eritrea was not spared.
The word is while Donald Payne” the champion of Democracy in
Ethiopia” was visiting his democratic friend Isayas Afeworki
(don’t laugh you all!)last month, the regime running dogs removed
the Abune to a hiding place! Why did they do that? Do they think
Donald Payne went there to check democracy in Eritrea! If they
thought as such it tells how little they think of the congressman!
