Woyanne claims it arrested EPPF fighters in Gonder (video)

January 7th, 2010 |  |  17 Comments

The Woyanne-run ETV in Ethiopia that is run by Hailu Shawel’s new friend Bereket Simon is reporting that the regime has arrested several Ethiopian People’s Patriotic Front (EPPF) fighters in Gonder. Watch the video here.

Nothing that comes out of Bereket Simon’s mouth can be believed, but this news proves that Woyanne is increasingly threatened by EPPF’s activities. In the past few months EPPF has been intensifying its military operations against Woyanne targets in northern and north-western Ethiopia, as reported by Ethiopian Review and other media.

    Woyane is a lie factory, they are not ashamed of adding another lie. Woyanewoch have no hope, the only hope they have is extending their number of months in power.

    Here we go ..the predicted campaign started..Addmitting the existence of EPPF forces has been a bitter pill to swallow but now it is election time and Weyanes are ready to gamble on everything..we will witness a spree of arrests in Gondor and entire Amhara region to decapacitate the so called opposition’s movement…
    Now one thing the weyanes seem to miss is ..are these propoganda campaigns designed to hoodwink Ethiopians? If that is the plan, they should know better that Ethiopian have known that the weyane regime is a dictatorial regime holding power by the barrel of the gun…Meles might renew his ticket for another stay at the Minilik Palace but the question is ..what will happen after five yrs? can Meles continue to decieve the Ethiopian people adinfinitum? No he can’t he is just promoting the policy of the greedy donkey that said let no grass grow after my death…ewenetem serdo aybeqel!!
    BTW, why would EPPF and TPDM try to go to the Sudan to attack weyanes, haven’t hey confronted the weyane army with north Ethiopia and managed to control small towns for several hours? so why hide their weopons in Coal sacks( keseel kesha), while they could confront weyanes?…Now here is another weyane’s miscalculation..Ethiopians watch Eri TV day in and day out and they have clear p[icture the strength of the EPPF..TPDM, OLF ONLF and so many other armed opposition forces..so weyanes blabering is just another joke!!

    It is on the record that, weyane is known to create a staged drama purely based on the figment of it’s imagination mainly for the purpose of getting unlimited support for fighting terrorism from it’s masters and secondly to demoralize the opposition forces that are hell bent on distroying it from the face of the earth. But the irony is the same terrorist gang that was in the bushes not long ago calling patriot Ethiopians names they don’t deserve. We still vividly remember when weyane is used to be called the “terrorist group tplf” ambushed a bus or a car and murdered the occupants and looted their belongings. For the tplf from here on it is all downhill. No amount of western support can save it from the inevitable demise. It is now out of the intensive care and is in palating care waiting to meet it’s creator.

    It is victory for EPPF and to all its allies that Woyane is forced to admit the active presence of EPPF and EPPF as major force to be reckoned with. It is a time for all oppositions to act in unison more than ever.

    I think James Cameron should have picked woyannes as “creative conspiracy directors” for the movie “Avatar” to produce better dramatic manipulations, ummmm, i will take it back, woyannes are low life liars that I feel ashamed for them when I see how they stupidly try to deceive the people, they think they are smart politicians but Mussolini once said, “when politics enters the brain of stupid person, its hard to get it out even by barrages of mortars”. That’s what I am certainly seeing with these bunch of morons who think they are better and humiliating themselves in-front of a society

    This reminds me of the Facist Derg’s time. The Facists used to tell us that they arrested this many or that many separatists, anarchists and so on, while they were going themselves down the drain. Now history repeats again and these Tigrean rats started reading what Derg was reading some twenty years back. The only change is the name, instead of TPLF they put EPPF. These Tigrean rats do not need to write anything. The Facist Derg has already written it for them twenty or thirty years ago. They only need to go to the archives in their Minstry of Disinformation to find this.

    Go EPPF and dig the grave for these Tigrean rats!

    For weyane to stage this kind of drama, it must me so stupid and retarded to even think the Ethiopian people do not know how this tribalist shifta has been acting and behaving for the past 19 years. The heroic EPPF fighters are right under it’s nose brandishing their weapons and giving it sleepless nights. What makes it so laughable is that weyane’s claim they have to wander around Sudan to get into the country and hide their guns in a charcoal sack. This is the dumbest jock of all time. But, then again, weyane is in a desperate situation and will try everything to stay in power. It is despised by the entire Ethiopian people and is under the total protection of the western countries until they abandon it with shifting winds

    It is good news to hear EPPF starting a meaningful offensive. But I don’t like EPPF fighters being arrested and taken live. If what weyane says is true about their arrest, it is a very bad news.

    When someone joins EPPF, he/she should now that dying is a lot better than taken alive by the enemy. First they will be tortured beyond recognition which is a living hell. Second giving information to the enemy creates a lot of problems for the EPPF fighting force.

    EPPF should train its fighters to take their own lives if they are sure of falling into enemy hands. Otherwise, the damage is paramount every time an EPPF fighter is taken alive by the enemy.
