    Our brothers and sisters are obliged to scape torture and prison without jugement of Meles criminal regime supported by British labor party leders like Brown and Blair.Specialy after 2005 stolen election,and massacre of youngs students our people are terrorised by a terrorist minority regime and the numbers of refugees escaping agazinazi meles security forces incresed by 500persent,young people scape by see,crossing borders of africa and hiding them selves in containers,i hope the peace lover of briton people and amnisty international will help those persecuted young ethiopians.I dont understand some young people from tegray come to europe by easy visa and they ask asylum in eritreans identity and they get asile,and continue to spy ethiopians .

    The number of Ethiopian immigrants over the past 10 years is unprecedentedlyincreasing really at an alarming rate.Almost all youngsters are trying to flee the country at all costs, whatever means at reach and available. Why is that ???
    I am sure woyane & woyane alone knows the answer.Woyane does not have the mind to think with and learn a good lesson from its counterparts in some north African countries.I am sure that there shall come a time for the woyanes to flee the country in exodus in a tragic way.In fact if they go pretty lucky and survive the wrath of the broad mass of Ethiopia.Time will tell!!!!
