The so called charities and societies law is one more attempt of the government to silence any group which it perceives as having an independent view. It is part of its current goal of strengthening GO-NGOS like REST and TDA and at the same time enhancing the political carde groups like the youth Forum and the women's forum that it had created.According to Meles, allowing NGOs to operate autonomously is tantamount to committing suicide for his party.
The effort of revealing EPRDF in its true color should be strengthened by all at all levels.

DEAR and respected senator Feingold,tnx for your firm stand to voice loudly the voice of voiceless ethiopia's people against narrow minded dictator melese zenawi who pretends him self as an ally of USA on the war against international terrorism, but the reality on the ground is , melese is the worst terrorist on earth[ even more than osma bladin ] It is really shame for United states to associate it self[ create an alliance] with the low level banda who is ready to give away the whole ethiopia except miniliks palace and kill ethiopia's people.Melese is not only a terrorist , but also he is well known cheator, hehas cheated his own people and an international communities so many times. Melese has stored un known amounts of tones of creals in tegray , but 6,000,000 children are starving all over ethiopia. So It is the right time for USA to re-examine it's foreign policy towards ethiopia , stand by the ethiopia's people, support the popular ethiopia's people struggle for freedom and democracy, dis-associate it self from this narrow minded criminal group [ TPLF, to protect the dignity of american's citizen],try to bring all TPLF's gangs to an international court for their crime against humanity in all parts of ethiopia , even in kenya.USA can not fight and win terrorism by having an alliance with those dictators who have been terrorizing their own people. we, ETHIOPIANS ARE SAYING AGAIN AGAIN TO USA, enough is enough. stop supporting the killer of innocent ethiopians

ወያኔ የማሻሻያ አዋጅ አወጣ ማለት ማጭበርበሩ እንደተነቃበት ተረዳ ማለት ነው። አስመሳይ ወያኔ በተጋለጠ ቁጥር አዲስ ሕግ ያወጣል። አዳዲስ ሕጎቹ በበዙ ቁጥር የወያኔ የይስሙላ ዲሞክራሲያዊነት ገሀድ መውጣትና፡ ኢትዮጵያዊነት ጭምብሉ መገፈፉ አይቀሬ የሆነ ይሄዳል።ይህ ደግሞ የሚረዱት ፈረንጆች እንኳ እየነቁበት ነው ማለት ነው።
አሁን ማን ይሙት ወያኔ ነው ተቆርቋሪ!
ሕጉ ተቃዋሚ ፓርቲዎችም ጭምር ከዳያስፖራው ዕርዳታ እንዳያገኙ የሚከለክልና ወንጀልም የሚያደርግ ነው። ያነጣጠረውም እነሱ ላይ ነው።የመለስ ዜናዊ ፓርቲ እንደሆነ በቢሊዮን የሚቆጠር ገንዘብ ከውጭ ያገኛል፡
ለማንኛውም ሴነተሩ ነቅተውባቸዋል።
But what the provisions would actually do is erode the Government’s own accountability and transparency by impeding these organizations’ ability to serve their essential watchdog functions.
