Premier holds talks with four African presidents

Comment: Ethiopia is going business as usual while Isayas is seeking attention by deploying 14 tanks to harvest crop. Ethiopia says it is monitoring the situation but shabia’s bluff should be taken seriously.

In ‘major’ ceasefire breach, Eritrean troops move into security zone with Ethiopia – UN

16 October 2006 – Eritrean troops have moved some 1,500 troops and 14 tanks into the Temporary Security Zone (TSZ) separating the East African country from Ethiopia in “a major breach” of the ceasefire that ended the two-year border war between the two from 1998-2000, the United Nations reported today.

Eritrea incursion 'to pick crops'

Comment: Tanks to harvest crops?

The much awaited October 15 came with a double blow to the extreme diaspora opposition. The singer's much publicized meeting came with a cover charge of 30 dollar and videos that show Shabia handlers and ethnic secessionist movements, their number not more than 300, hardly a force to lead the Diaspora to the Minilik palace. He made it known that there is no EPPF and wondered how Kinijit could form alliance with none existing EPPF and secessionist OLF. He opined how OLF is able to pull CUD to its camp, debunked his new nemesis and Shabia VIP’s radio report. Not to mention a now and then excuse how the much loved Flag was lost from him in his trip to Shabia (their Shabia handlers forbid it). The meeting goes smooth except one or two challenging questions for the audience. Click here to hear it on Hager Fikir radio. The singers much publicized meeting was almost eclipsed by Kinijit's press release that suspends Birhanu Mewa and the self appointed Andagachew Tsige. While the Shaleka made the rounds to the radio shows to explain their action, Andagachew, who was interviewed in one radio station, denied that there is any division and went about his business defending AFD and how the issue about sovereignty issue is just a matter of semantics. The beginning of the end of alliance, that defy all logic, was the day EPRP and its surrogates declare they will have non of it, but with unmasking of EPPF and the suspension of Tsiges it is clear that the chauvinist have had it with the mockery on the image of Ethiopia (they would to like to think they have sustained with their wisdom todate) by emboldend OLF. While Mr. Tsige is in denial, those believers who think Ethiopia’s deliverance is through Shabia were livid over the said press release and are firing back with accusation of corruption and question of Mandate of Shaleka Yoseph. Both sides seem to say the game is not over till it is over. Deliver us from such spirit. Amen.

Kinijit press release on the dismissal of Birhane Mewa and Andargachew Tsege

KIL – Kinijit International Leadership is No More
Close sources disclosed that Kinijit internaltional leadership (KIL) was disbanded as of Today. Henceforth, X- EPRP members Mr. Birhanu Mewa and Andargachew Tsege are told not to represent the CUD in any form or shape. The source of the disagreement is believed to be the disagreement b/n Andargachew and Berhanu Mewa and the veteran leadership of AEUP that includes Shaleka Yoseph Yazew. Reliable sources also said Shaleka Yoseph has the full support of Engineer Hailu Shawil and Hailu Shawil is said to be fully behind the decision.
The unholy alliance between the CUD and OLF with the propping of Shabia has been a source of confusion in the Diaspora. The unmaking of the Diaspora CUD because of AFD, while expected, should be a lesson on how detrimental is such Endeavour to the parties and the country at large.

Beshir shows up in Asmera!
The shabait news is truly made in the image of its president! The president is widely know to be irrational person so is shabait, yesterday it carried a news story where the deputy president of Sudan will attend the signing ceremony, today it carried president Beshir attending the ceremony. Did Beshir decided on last minute or was shabait under the influence of its irrational president?or (G1)!
Note: The problem with Easter Sudan is a creation of president Isaays Afeworki. So in esence he created his own problem to solve, which he has, nothing more!
