    In the most moserables of conditions in which Ethiopia currently finds itself, even Melles would like to defect if only some one from the opposition may give him some reasonable and believable helping push. He can't just walk away by himself, otherwise his TPLF camarades would grab him back by force and in chains.

    Elias - thanks for shedding this info to us. Should there be anything that we do to the artists until they settle down here we're here ready to contribute as need be.

    Otherwise good for them to enjoy a sigh of relief from the tyranny.

    God bless!

    I pray that God almighty stays in Ethiopia and keep her safe. With selfish woyanes Ethiopia does not have any future. her leaders hate her and work day and night to destroy her. Only God himself knows where and why this people even if they are Eritreans hate this country.

    The defection continues and at the end only Meles (Saddam) and Chemical Ali remain in Ethiopia until they hide in a KEBERO GUDGUAD like Saddam Hussien
