The correspondent for Washington Post and Time Magazine in Ethiopia, Kassahun Addis, has fled to Kenya last week.
Kassahun had told his colleagues that the U.S.-financed tribal dictatorship in Ethiopia was harassing him and that he faced danger.

I am afraid that Meles will make not only Tigrai but also Ethiopia free from non-Tigrians. It is very unfortunate a liberation front for Tigrai think that their freedom will be assured by denying others their freedom.
I for sure do not like Meles to end up like Saddam Hussien, unfortunately the trend is leading in that direction.

Kassahun, we are happy you are out of the Weyane hands, but do not trust the Kibaki gangs either. They are freinds to the triabl leader in Addis. In 2006 ten of the best Ethiopian journalistic minds paid with their lives, thanks to Moi Kibaki and his gangs, the Weyane regime secret service came and hunted them in a broad day light wearing masks. So do not let your guards down yet, you have to be either in Eritrea or in the West to be certain with your safety.

Now they will understand woyanne's attitude against the free press and human rights in general.

Kassahun was my roommate at AAU and he was a hard working person. Ethiopia is losing its best and brightest. Sad!
I wish Kassahun all the best in life.
Guys, what do you think we should do to change the situation in our country?
Truth.

The smart Economist
Remember my ethiopian friends that real GDP is calculated after inflation. You subtract the inflation rate from nominal GDP to get real GDP, which is the number everyone focuses on. So if inflation is higher than the the nominal GDP, it means the real GDP is negative.
Assuming that both figures from Weyane are correct the smart economist calculates the real GDP as
10%- 20% = -20% Conservative estimate.
No growth at all.

I wonder if the washington post and Time magazine expressed Kassahuns views that this is a dictotorial regime proped up by the US government. An unpalatable truth and I guess an irrelevant fact for the US regime.

weyane has been emboldened by the US and UK administration. No wonder he rubs it in their nose. Them ferenjoch are after their own interest only. They don't give a hoot about the human right, democracy or rule of law.
As long as Meles stays a loyal puppet (lole), he can get away with a genocide let alone murder and human right violation.
Lole Meles might be a tug-along puppet for the West but for us he is a brutal savage.
