What a country !!? Today’s Ethiopia, human wrights abuse taking its free toll on its people, our time’s Nero Claudius Caesar Meless became 80 millions slaves uncontested master.

Haile Gebreselassie don’t run this Beijing Marathon, representing this illegal, occupying junta, that is killing our people, its your undeniable right to run or not. Your health is our asset, all genuine Ethiopian truly care about you. Even if they dare to throw you in jail for that, they will see afterward the consequence; maybe you will spark the final battle for their demise.
Remember the Marathon founder the ancient Greek hero PHLIPIDIS run for the cause of peace.

The Chinese are the masters now in disguise. Woyanne can not afford to lose them. So Haile has no choice but to go. It is an embarrassement for the Chinese too to not have high profile like Haile not attending the Marathon. He will be forced one way or another.

I am sure china’s pollution is far better than ethiopia’s deset where haile get training. It is a dirty political game against china.

just out of curiosity, what kind of political system does our country follow? unless we live in a state where dictatorship is a norm,individual rights are respected.haile has every right to make his own independent choice without government influance.weyane has to back off!!

The resorce hungry Chinese Szars are manouvering the scared and illegitimate Wayane dictatorship for soft entry and smooth landing in Ethiopia and the entire horn while gradually geting firmly entrenched soon leaving no worldly scapeholes for Africans to negotiate any favourable terms or conditions in the emerging relationships.

Forcing Haile Gebre Sellassie aginst his will and conscience is a gross violation of human rights and the promotion and practice of slavery that must be condemned with the strongest possible terms.

What next? Forcing 80 mmillion poor Ethiopians to work free for the future Chinese companies as the 21st century slaves?

it is just frustrating to see who we are become somekind of joke for this nonsense government. when Haile said he can not compete in this event, it is because he knows what he is cable of in this kind of polluted air. so who are these to tell haile that they know how his body function. Let’s say Haile paticipate on this event gets hurt, who is going to be responsible? how are they going to answere to the ethiopian people about our golden athelet?. i think our patience with them when they push all this time might gave them the idea that we ethiopians are dociles. They killed our kids for voicing their concern but we did not rise and for answer, they sky rocked the living cost and we decided we will sleep without eating, they sold us 1killo salt for 10birr again we said that is okay, and know they are telling us the are experts on person’s health condition. i just wonder when are we going to say enough is enough? where are those leaders that we chose to stand up our people? we did all we can to get them out jail hoping they will risk their life to stand up for injustice that placed upon our people. where are they? where is Birtukan? where is Berhanu? where are they? how long we are will to let this happen to our people? let’s stop the talk ans start to walk the talk.

I feel pretty ignorant right now because I don't know very much about the Woyanne and their relationship to Haile Gebrselassie, the government, and other countries in Africa. Anyone care to comment and explain this a little better for me?

Haile should not run if he does not wnat to. The woyane will do any thing to kiss the chines’s behind as they do the west’s. Haile should not have to be forced to run!!!

our ‘military’ is paying lives in Somalia to keep Woyane in good terms with Bush Administration ,similarly Haile is costing his life to keep chinese happy.
