		<description>Mr Ozeri: One of the most important aspects of starting a business is on deciding how it should be organized.This would have had determined the Management control of your organization and the Tax liability of the owners--you and the lady. You should have had also consulted with an Accountant and Attorny experianced in business formation before you started your business. I believe that you are more responsible for the ordeal created before and after the incident.</description>

Once again, I will make a copy of my blog in the future and test your openness. 
Thank you.</description>

		<description>If Mr. Victor was a legitmate investor, clean,and clear what made him run away on an overnight flight to NY. He is a brand, he is an American. Why not he fought legally to the end at court! I have a great suspicion on those pictures in particular, and more controversial business dealings, with out a check and balance, in general. Milioners are not foolishes, they are smarts and I hope Mr.Victor is smart too, if he is not an overnight millionerie? Or else, is he running away because of a Plea Bargain? Or Does Mrs. Lily had more cards on her hands to win  him? The Embassy should know what was going on,or he must have been advised to run away by his lawyers! There must be a RED FLAG some where that might bring embarassement. Besides, why he choose the media instead of the court? Does he not know the legal term of Defamation? I sympathize for Mr.Victor but very,very,very cautiosly.Sorry!</description>

		<description>I know you are telling the truth, i can fill the hurt, when i read through you letters you are writing from your heart. But i say this to you forgive to be forgiven. let not the bad overshadow your goods because of this. Afterall it is money that you lost.

As to Lily and the family, i know you are all Christian and believe in God as well, please put your focus to your God rather than to the flesh and the world.</description>

		<description>Mr. Ozeri,

I have seen some of your videos and have seen how you are helping the poor. You really seem to have passion for what you do.. &#039;giving&#039;. 

All I want to say is don&#039;t give up. I feel sad for what happened to you. However, you can not let three people deter you from doing what you love. And rememeber you have been in Ethiopia for i guess 6 years and have met and worked with other Ethiopians. Not everybody is the same. Think of the children whose lives you have helped save. There is much greater picture than the three people who have done you wrong.

If you get the support from the people you can make it through. And belive me all Ethiopians who know of your work do love you and appreciate you. Just see it as a big obstacle and climb over it. Don&#039;t let millions suffer for a mistake 3 people commited. I am not saying what happened to you is normal or simple. But It could happen in many other countries. 

If we can appologise on behalf of those who mistreated you and we entreat you to continue what you were doing because it really means a lot. Other investors will definetly think twice just by seeing your experience in Addis. That is good they should think twice. However, if you just give up and abandon everything the poor and the innocent would be punished a hundred fold for no fault of theirs.

If your security is the problem find the solution. Only you can find the solution cause your passion can move mountains.</description>

		<description>This is very unfortunate but I understand he is not alone, this is a regular thing to defraud foreigners of their investment by forcing them to have Ethiopia partners who will later take over the business,
 
I was in a cafe in Addis and the buzz is that the organisers of Miss Tourism of the Millennium  www.misstourismofthemillennium.com have not been paid at all after more than one year. 

The winners of that beautiful event did not event get their US$5000 prize from the government , the government is now saying they have no money to pay any the Queens and people who came to Ethiopia to show a good side of our country to the world during our Millennium. Shame on our government</description>

		<description>I do not know the detail of the crimes he comitted regarding the NGO etc. What is clear is this guy knows the political connection of that bitch thug he had starterd the venture with. By that, he was ready to suck the blood of Ethiopian poor with that fucking bitch thug had things did not turn this way. For me, that makes him a potential criminal for Ethiopians, and am glad his venture is short lived. He would have assisted that moron lady much in wrangling this poor economy.

		<description>In an age of global corruption, honest and hard working people are suffering. Ethiopian chewanet (gentility) and moral aptitude has been almost totally denuded. Knowing the current situation and some of the people the victim mentioned, personally, I would not be surprized by the story. Many more store are yet to come. But are we ready to do anything about them?</description>

		<description>why did you go to ethiopia which is ruled by mafia dicators in the first place?
you can invest your money in many better counttries in africa. for example., south africa, ghana, cameroon, botswana, angola, namibia, kenya, tanzania etc...

ethiopia is the last country to go to for investment.- All land is owned by government and the country is ethnically divided in Killil system and too much hunger.</description>

		<description>It is a futile effort to seek justice from the Woyane government. It is government of the criminals, by the criminals, for the criminals. My advice to you is to write a letter to your congressman and senator. Good luck to you.</description>

		<description>Hello all,

I am so sorry to learn about Mr Ozizi and this terrible incidenct. This fraudulent characters will come to justice sooner or later once this regime is brought to justice. 

This Getachew is not the one on insect involved (that other scam is also a TPLF affiliate and very cunning) cheating many international organizations like the GTZ and ICIPE.  

This one is a member of board of directors of EEPCO which is the power house. 

My cheer to Mr Ozizi</description>

		<description>Victor, sorry to hear your bad experience in Ethiopia. 

I think because you are an American and an outsider, you will appriciate Mr Zenawi. I am sure if you were the thousands of Addis residents who have been moved out of Addis with no where to go will not have the same feelings. Or the 10 million who are starving, or the million Somalians he is killing with the blessing and full support of your government. So only a westner can admire Zenawi because he and his Mafia group will kill millions ethiopians to please westners like yourself. You cant feed starving people a building. Being the innocent westner that you are, you have been taken for a ride by the TPLF Mafia, while you chanel your anger towards Lily, Mr Zenawi is prabably collecting the factory as we speak. Because all the business in Ethiopia are rune by the Zenawi family and friends. 

It doesn&#039;t surprise me if the US Government is behind the secret land deal, that would eventually kill Ethiopia. Hope this please you even more. The good work of Americas poodle in Africa, Zenawi. 

Only an American will come to defend the war criminal Zenawi. 

I do hope we will find out the truth. 

God Save Ethiopia</description>

		<description>Hello Mr. Ozeri, I am truly sorry for what happened to you. I stll have a serious problem just like the previus writer about these &quot;private photos&quot; that someone was trying to blackmail you with. If anything to do with children, Ethiopians react exteremly with no mercy.

If there is nothing there, I find it very difficult given your connection within the inner government and the US embassy itself in Addis they just can not afford to write you off. Do not give up hope. May God bless</description>

		<description>I am an American Documentarian, who has a nationally/Internationally televised show on amazing humanitarian agencies/NGOs. called Profiles in Caring. I have &quot;Profiled 100&#039;s&quot; of NGO&#039;s and I&#039;ve got to say that SAFE House Ethiopia, Mr. Ozeri&#039;s group, is my absolute favorite group that I have had the personal privelage to watch grow and flourish over 5 years, and help save/rehabilate the lives of 100&#039;s of Ethiopian children. In fact last year, the story I did on SAFE House was nominated for a regional Emmy. It can be watched at www.goodtube.org search:SAFE House Ethiopia. If Mr. Ozeri feels safe enough to return, I will return to Ethiopia with Mr. Ozeri and document his the extradinary challenges he faces. Of all the African Countries I have had the priveledge to film in, I used to believe that Ethiopia had the best chance to break the cycle of poverty, especially with forward thinkers like Mr.Ozeri and so many others I have met in Addis who are inspired to help. If people start believing that it is unsafe, Ethiopia will decline fast back to the 3rd world stereotypes of the 80&#039;s. God Bless you Mr. Ozeri. Don&#039;t give up the dream because of a select few who can&#039;t comprehend the larger picture and only think of their own greed and not their entire country. 

Please watch his video on Goodtube.org : SAFE HOUSE Ethiopia and you will truly witness the soul of someone who cares. also check out the website of his ORG. www.safehousethiopia.org</description>

		<description>Dear Mr.Ozeri:
This is very sad story but this is good story to warn all those who are planning to invest in Ethiopia. They need think twice before they put their foot in that country with that kind of Government.</description>

		<description>After reading of our responses, Mr. Ozeri himself wrote the above(Nr. 37)notes.

I think Mr. Ozeri is still in a dillema whether to go back to Addis and continue his project or stay away.
Since Mr. Ozeri faced these problems, in my opinion, he has to be part of the solution too. Otherwise everything will go dead end.

Ethiopians are merciful. But the present ruling clique does not share the mentality of the majorty of our people. They 
are exceptions that emerge once in 500 years.

Some investers only see their own advantage. They don&#039;t mind how the situation of the native people is as long as their pocket is full. This is dangerous. They have to cooperate with the society by which they want to improve the standard of living of the people. They have to strive for fair competetion and the rule of law.

What Mr. Ozeri experiences is a reflection of lawlessness, lack of accountability. Mr. Ozeri&#039;s case would be a good reference for those who want to run a business in Ethiopia. 
We hear some more testimonies from other victims.

I suggest the admin of this Website to look for individuals or/and companies that want to share us their business statement.</description>

		<description>On the surface Ethiopia is a peaceful and law abiding country. The underside of it is what the investor experienced. Those stolen machinaries are probably sent to Tigray the hub of stolen goods.
Had you asked my advice before going to ethiopia I would of said give all what you plan to invest in Ethiopia to the poor and follow Jesus. That is much better than giving it to Weyane. 
The goverment is run by criminals. There is no justice or rule of law!</description>

		<description>I am very deeply saddened and sorry to hear that there cannot always be genuine long lasting partnerships between foreigners with people in Ethiopia. Some people are out for short term gains at the expense of their fellow human beings. If Mr Ozeri&#039;s claims are true, then perhaps he should do what I did...pick myself up out of the gutter and return to Ethiopia with even more determination and find some bona fide Ethiopian partners..there are many good people amongst the bad eggs -there are many more good ones. It is diffcult and wrong to pass judgement on Ms Lily and family without knowing all the facts of the case. Her story should also be told. The Investment Bureau in Ethiopia is the safest way to start. The people are very helpful and probably one of the most efficient ministries. Please try again Mr Ozeri!</description>
