		<description>I am married to an Ethiopian woman and preety much follow Ethiopian politics. From what i understand so far, the current government in Ethiopia reflects those listed  traits of fascism. I guess ethiopians have a fascist government in thier midist. Ethiopians have an honourable history in fighting Italian fascism. Well,fascism is fascism whether it is foreign or home grown. I stand with the people of Ethiopia to fight the current fascist government that has been ruining their life on a daily basis. Victory to the people of ETHIOPIA!!!!

		<description>Metasebia #8,

You stated the core problem and I agree.
The so called strength of the chest pumping tiny TPLF dictatorship is due to the hopelessly weak and eternally divided opportunist opposition groups. What can DICTATOR Meles who came to power by force alone do? Simply leave the palace and the power as to walk away because some unheard and unknown oppositions might be some where?

Come on folks! No dictator will ever walk away just like that from power because there are kittens in some corner mewing for left over milk. 

All dictators were driven away from power ONLY by the organized 100% determined united force of the opposition. 

Just look and reflect on how the so called opposition were reactively standing still like sitting fat ducks all through the Wayane proactive 2010 election that produced 99.6% for the TPLf and and only 1 seat for the opposition in a c country some 80 million population. Did the opposition lift its small finger in protest demanding democracy and the handing over of the stolen peoples&#039;? You be the judge!

It is great shame for a country and people who constantly and endlessly BOAST of its historical Ethiopian patriotism that is only on paper as a form of mere make believe propaganda sketch making for the down town theater house money making just like Hailu Shawol, Lidetu Ayalew and co. currently building their own hotels under the protecting arms of Wayane and other businesses under the secure protecting arms the Wayane dictatorship only for their personal BIG bellies and that of the even BIGGER and bottomless Wayane supper bellies. 

These and some of the other so called opposition characters are helping Wayane like a house slave to wash and launder the tremendous amount of Ethiopian stolen wealth and cash secured through cunning corruption criminal meanse.

For the workable opposition to emerge you need reorganization and soul searching in a new way if you want to defeat barbaric dictatorship. Or else we ONLY keep talking the empty talks like always.</description>

Very good, personal character is also very important. Sometimes the system is bedeviled more by the individual at the top. The Woyane government will be much different if Meles is out of the scene.</description>

		<description>Lack of understanding on the part of some opposition forces has hampered the struggle against ethno-fascism in Ethiopia. The method of struggle these opposition forces have devised is not effective and ethno-fascism is continuing to misrule the country. Their mere presence in the country is helping the ethnofascist Meles Zenawi to reap the benefits of foreign aid and support under the pretext of building a democratic system in the country. On the domestic front, the populace is in the mood of giving up the struggle because of lack of effective opposition leadership. The opposition in the country has not even been able to save Birtukan from the jaws of ethnofascism. This shows how weak and disarrayed the opposition in the country is. The fight for the release of Birtukan and other political prisoners id the task of all Ethiopians and others standing for democracy, freedom, respect of human rights and justice.
Release the heroine of democracy and human rights, Birtukan Midekssa and all other prisoners of conscience in Ethiopia.</description>

		<description>This exactly portrays Meles.

The other day, he was trying to justify to the rubber stamp MPs of Ethiopian parliament the reason for augmenting the defence budget by 500 million dollars is to feed the soldiers.

He was lecturing to them that soldiers have to be fed well and were not expected to defend the country with empty stomach. Ah, his lies will never end. Adkami neger.</description>

		<description>12. Ethno-cnetric prejudice

This characteizes the Ethno-fascists of Abay Tigray best as it was the best tool during the extrimination of Jews in Nazi Germany. This defining charatcteristic is at work in present day Ethiopia in all aspects - political, economic, soical and cultural. To the ethno-fascist, it is all about &quot;correcting past imbalances&quot; or &quot;positive discrimination&quot;. To us it is Ethno-centric fascism.</description>

		<description>The fact that the TPLF is a fascist organization is proven beyond a shadow of doubt. The regime of TPLF-Meles is ethno-fascist in nature and would not give up power volunarily. It will stay in power at any cost and tend to sacrifice its followers (mostly Tigres)for that matter. The fascists led by Meles Zenawi are blood thirsty and must be eliminated from the surface of Ethiopia and the world. Fascism does not accept dialogue and reconciliation and operates on the principle of control it all. Meles Zenawi has indoctrinated his Tigre followers with the fascist ideologies of ethnicity, supremacy and invincibility. That is why his followers accept and support any measures he takes including mass killings and gicing away  of legal Ethiopian land.</description>
