As in the 1996 Micheal Keaton movie Multiplicity,
where the demands of home and work forced him to clone himself,
the demands of OLF, Dergue, EPRP and EPRDF are met by CUD with
great imperfection. Alas, while Micheal Keaton started with
good image, CUD's origional was Dergue resulting in real life
action drama that bests the 1996 movie.
Although we were delighted
to see the
World Bank granting the money to Ethiopia to help
it win the fight against poverty, we were not going
to rub it off on our vocal Diaspora by saying we told
you so! knowing this came after the much hyped campaign
against aid by these super losers. But something unique
happened to us to change course. Some of our stringent
critics keep reminding us thru emails about the grant
money. Apparently these losers are trying to tie this
money to the war against terrorist and UIC extremist.
Losers! Ethiopia is delighted to get this money but
trust you us, Ethiopia with or with out foreign help
will win the war on poverty the same way it did against
internal anti constitutional elements, foreign jihadist
as well as Shaibya sent mercenaries in Somalia.

Misfortune
of Eritrea’s Proxy Wars
(Kumsa Aba Gerba, Jan 14, 2007):- Eritrea’s inundation into the Somali
conflict, by aiding and abetting the UIC including and up to sending combat
troops, was a fact repeatedly reported by the UN Monitoring Group. Eritrea
does not have a probable cause to militarily get involved in Somalia.
It does not have a contiguous border, nor does it have any cultural...
The
Israel lobby debate
For the past several decades, and especially since the Six-Day War in
1967, the centrepiece of US Middle Eastern policy has been its relationship
with Israel...
Diplomatic Offense:Goverment Delegations To Visit Various Africa Countries(ENA)
In a press statement sent to Ethiopian News Agency on Sunday, the Ministry
said the delegation would deliver messages of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi
to his African counterparts and discuss prevailing situation in Somalia
The
hunt for terrorist in Somalia has now become a hunt for peacekeepers?
President Kibaki as IGAD chairman could have done better in controlling
his side of the border with Somalia and standing tall against terrorist
who not once but twice committed terrorist act in Kenya. BBC
(Hunt for Somali peacekeeper force) has come out with a new campaign
to play down Africa: "AID has diminish the military capability of many
African countries" This after the defeat of the "extreme
powerful" UIC(as BBC was fond to say) by the mighty Ethiopia defense
forces, both African armies we might add! Senator
Brownback says US gov't appreciates Ethiopia for crushing terrorist group
in Somalia
Can some one ring the phone at
the Guardian! The sun has risen in Somalia and there is a new day.
The UIC is defeated. Cut your loss and assign your experts and reporters
to another hot spot. They have failed in Somalia miserabley. The Guardian
getting at
Blair and Bush, we can understand but what is their beef with
Ethiopia!
The saying "ke wuhaw nuw"(it must be
the water) cannot be truer any better. Oppositions in Ethiopia as well
as in Eritrea have one big common feature:they tend to create an organization
every full moon. Like Cud, Kil and UEDF from Ethiopia here comes another
Eritrean opposition group! The only good thing we see in this new group
is, it says..." Some of our URGENT priorities include: Creating
a new vision and stability not only in Eritrea, but also to find concrete
solutions that would eliminate tensions and conflicts to the Ethio-Eritrean
conflict and to make the so-called 'border problem' irrelevant by putting
the fundamental human interest of our people FIRST over a piece of land
that has needlessly taken hundreds of thousands of innocent lives."More
'Winners'
And 'Losers' In Somalia?
By Global Information Network
Peace has not yet returned to the troubled zone yet there are already
winners and losers according to Said Sheik Samatar, an African history
professor at Rutgers, in New Jersey, speaking this week at a Roundtable
on Somalia. Among the winners are Ethiopia...Losers are Egypt, Eritrea
and the routed Islamic Courts
A rocket-propelled grenade was used in the battle, sparked
by a dispute over where to park an armoured vehicle.
Update On Somalia:
US Air Strike and Comments
(Aigaforum, Jan 11, 2007):- Aigaforum would like to thank the prime minister
for keeping the public and the world at large informed.We can not thank
enough the Ethiopian defense forces for restoring our pride...we will
also like to see the prime minister office to hire a spokes person reporting
directly to the prime minister...
What is
Waltainfo Doing?
We
thank Walta for fixing its technical problem and is ready to provide
the much sought information. However it is unfortunate that Walta
which has all the means, chose to link and paste stories from third
parties instead of bringing its own news.
For instance western media at this time are trying to take the credit
for the victory brought about by our gallant forces, as if they
were not second guessing Ethiopia before. The Washington Post reporter
wrote the attack by US as necessary as if she has not been saying
all along Ethiopia is venturing to Somalia to divert attention from
internal problem and is providing US with exaggerated intelligence.
CBS is stating information that contradicts the PM.
Should Walta amplify that? Why it is undercutting it self? Walta
can give us first hand source but we are forced to get third person
news that is skewed to the third person's interest! You are an institution
that should have life and personality distinct from others, not
just a conduit for Christ sake!
Have your own news, your own analysts, have a Walta input on a story,
be innovative, be creative, be a news outlet on your own right.

soothing his
wounded ego with the help of Hosni Mubarak after the defeat
of his terrorist allies in Somalia by Ethiopia(Jan 2007)
Once Ethiopian forces flush out terrorists from their hiding fox holes in
the cities as well as remote villages of Somalia, the terrorists have become
a hunting target for US expensive war machines! (ENA:News)Ethiopia
is putting the finishing touch on its operation in Somalia!
"The suspected al-Qaida militant who planned the 1998 U.S. embassy
bombings in east Africa was killed in an American airstrike in Somalia,
an official said Wednesday. "
Ethiopians are our natural neighbour but not our natural enemy
(garoweonline.com)-Many Somalis are telling us in writings and Radio interviews
that Ethiopia is our historical enemy...That is not true and that reflects
only psychological childhood trauma and undigested political mass manipulation
ANALYSIS-Ethiopia-Eritrea flare-up averted, tensions remain
"The Ethiopian action was a sort of dramatic strike using quite significant
forces. There wasn't time (for Eritrea to react)," said Sally Healy, of
the British-based think-tank Chatham House...
Comment:While the above analysis by a western expert
paints Shaibya as incapable to match Ethiopia's military prowess, pm Meles
distracters are mad with him for allowing Shaibya to "gain strength”.
The truth is Shaibya is dying and it is time to give credit where it is
due. The Ethiopian government has been all along right to treat Shaibya
as a nuisance since the last war. No war no peace is the right policy
for Eritrea today and it must continue! However Ethiopia's policy towards
Egypt needs to be revised. Having lost every trick he has tried to weaken
Ethiopia using his own means, Isayas Afeworki is trying to garner
a helping hand from Egypt for his next adventure. Egypt needs to be
told we will not continue to turn blind eye any more.
The Meles Administration and the Tigreans Se-Arom K.
Another temberkake- with the usual plea of Don't hate us message to
give Meles on Silver platter as an offering. This at a time when those
who shade crocodile tears about the flag stood on the side of those
who burn the flag. Enough already!
