Meles was saddened when the military officials forgt to give him birthday present. once they knew he was mad, they came with this idea of an event “honoring the PM”. The grand reception was held @the Minilik Palace.He got a lot of presents in cash. Chat, Chevas and Courvisor were served abundantly.

Meles might have been prized with a “loti” -earring – for his role as a “gedai” of many hundred thousands of our young compatriates.

No wonder why all those Tigrians are angry on Elias, he is telling us the truth on this particular issue, Elias is not angry but his words and comment burn you alive…is not a joke when you tell someone to honor their mother killer? Meles zenwaye is not kind of person who can be honor by military or by any Ethiopian entity at all, if they do then that is A JOKE

The stupidity of all those who say we won the war or battle is mind boggling. Do you even know, really know, how many soldiers we lost. Were the families of the dead soldiers informed.
I personally would rather believe the Eritrean version of events than our leaders version. Our fearless leaders, Meles and his clowns, have told us so many different (often contradicting) versions of the same event that it is impossible to know what is true. I find it quite insulting when Meles tells us we won the war and dishonors the sacrifice of our soldiers by not telling their families of the ultimate price that their sons or daughters paid. At least Essayas informed every parent that lost a son or a daughter. What i find even more insulting is the idiots that repeat weyanes propaganda. That only says the Ethiopian people are ignorant enough to believe anything, and that is why wayane had the audacity to say they won the election of 05.

Not only the 90% top miltary officers, but also the top civlian government ministers and Embassy diplomats are mainly from one tribe-Tigrai. It has never been like this in Ethiopian history before.

That is why this cancerous mafia group called TPLF has to be removed by force.

As in the military, the key posts everywhere is unproportionally held by Tigrayans. Examples: commericial banks, Customs, Electric and Telephone services, Foreign ministry, etc. They try fooling us everyday, despite the fact that everyone knows that they have no feeling of shame in their brain.

Elias,
I applaud your dedication and determination brother but I am not sure where you got the 90% of leadership (top brass) is from Tigray? We live in the 21st century where information is at our fingertips. I think you better spend your energy on truth(facts) if you have a true intention to build democracy.
Trying to brew hatred to Tigrians may backfire my brother.

Guys,
It doesn’t do us any good to hash things out by stating “We won”, “We won”! “Yea, we are better than Eritreans” and all that nonsense. What did we win? As Matti said it well, about 200,000 innocent combatants perished, more than half a million people got displaced and only God knows how much of the donated money was squandered to make the arms merchants of death even richer. And all this wasted for no reason whatsoever for something that could have been resolved sitting around a table. The country has been polarized on ethnic lines like never before. Eritreans and Ethiopians have been forced to remain enemies when they get nothing out of such enmity and much more by being themselves and working together as they have done since time immemorial! Add to that the almost irreversible hatred that the Somalis have against our people not because they hate Ethiopians, but they were forced into just that because of a servant of US imperialism! Ethiopia’s “Food insecurity”, which sadly has become the trademark of the country, remains at all time high. All this developments were achieved under the “Wise” leadership of Ayte Meles Zenawi and his Tigraian top brass the including the entire Tigraian mafia of the likes of Siye Abraha and Gebru Asrat. I am mentioning this duo because I am getting tired of some Weyane followers trying to present them in somewhat kinder and gentler Mafiosi. So, why would any sane person or group of people award anything to such criminal thugs including Abebe Zenawi? Only people with similar mentality would do such a thing. Thus, all the unnecessary insults thrown at Elias because he has the balls to tell it the way it is. First of all some of the Weyane commentators don’t even understand simple English when they accuse Elias of things he did not write about. For example Elias stated 90% of the Weyane top brass. Then the idiots of Mekele come storming like they don’t have any life except to accuse people of something they haven’t said! And of course “Excuse me” is not in their psyche – the psyche of cheating, deceiving, lying, denying and stealing!

So those of you, who think you are going to piss on the rest of us, think again for we have had enough of your misrule 17 years way to much to gage your stupidity and as to the “greater Tigrai” crap, forget it. It will happen over our dead body! You may think you can mess with Eritrea and get away with it. Nop! Not this time we know better not to be used as fenji regatch for your stupid ambition! But whatever you do, don’t even think about messing with us for we are determined more than ever to keep our Ethiopian intact and for all Ethiopians! No more this ethnic mentality.

Elias,I appritiate you very much for your matured comment concerning Woyane’s army.
most of them couldn’t deserve for honoured military profession.for instance take the so called Agazi tor. without any exaggeration,the bolivia black stone is better than such devil army.stone is useful for construction,while woyane’s army for nothing ruther destruction.

Well,well,well what can he do because the Tigreans own everything so when you own you can do anything so why do you get amazed my friends, the Tigreans have done more stupid things like taking the Gonder and Wolo land in front of all Ethiopian people with out shame to their future country the republic of Tigrea. Even they can take peoples’ lives if it makes them happy and feel better about their wicked psyche as they did thousands of times. What is hard here to understand these evil people. It is our fault they will do more thing look what they do on Tedi Afiro and thousands of Ethiopian people, until they go and establish their own country we will not have peace in our country, even if they go as a country we will still have many conflicts for their crimes they have done during their colonial days on the Ethiopian people.

Let him get all the “blood medal” he can possibly get, but let me tell you Mr. blood sucking weyane leader, the power that you are injoing now with your tugs and the medal that is given to you will not and is not going help you or bail you out when you face the ICC soon. As they say ” What goes around comes around” .

Leave Elias alone. It is true 90% of the Woyannie officers are Tigraians. In addition the daily top security meetings and briefings is conducted in Tigrigna language alone.
Elias is one of the few Ethiopians left. If you have real guts, fight and work like Elias.

Thank you for continuing to expose the Tigrean thugs and so called Army – it is this criminals who are responsible for the contemporarey misery of millions of Ethiopians. As you put it, the so called Ethiopian Army is by and large Tigrean. The most depressing part of the story is also these Tigreans are whom the charity/generosity of the rest of Ethiopians and the world saved from the 1984 famine…. this is the moral irony that should have been the joke – the once starving Tigrean children of 1984 are now occupying the rest of Ethiopia, killing, torturing, raping millions of Ethiopians!

The Editor’s note is not far from truth. After the May 2005 Election, in fact on the day of Election-evening state emergency was proclaimed by crime Minister(CM Meles)to supress the victorius parties and the people.
From that time on a Tigre dictatorship in the name of TPLF/EPRDF has emerged. The last three years marks tthe agony of our people at its climax under the leadership of robber gang conglommeration.
The 1998 – 2000 war between them ended by Woyane defeat. The Woyanes has never conquered a war. Even Badme remained the territory of Eritrea after sacrificing more than 80 000 people. So where is their bravery?
The last one and half years, according to some experts, a total of 25 000 military men lost their during the battle in Somalia. This number will definitely rise to 50 000 if Woyane war mongerers stay in Somalia.
All these drama depicts that Woyanes are frustrated. They only live on pretention.
They are really cowards. They know only to aim at innocent unarmed civilians. What they are doing now is good for documentation.
Anyway they never escape the tide of popular revolution. They will wither away like a cloud.

It is a well deserved honour for making the country:
poorer; starved; beggar nation known in the world; smaller & smaller in size(at the current pace in 10 years it will be the size of Dgibouti); subjecting it’s people in the worst kind of inhumane conditions; etc; etc. Let him enjoy while he is still in power before he takes residence in his rightful place which is a jail cell.

Oh wow, honoring him for 135.000 lost soldiers against only 20.000 Eritreans. I bet they didn´t mention the soldiers who died as FENJI REGACHOCH on the ceremony, rest their soles in peace! Weyane is seperatist and criminal.

10% non- Tigray top brass is risky for TPLF. It is more like 2%. About 10% of the Top civil officials in Ethiopia are non-Tigray.
