		<description>Hi Friend,

Please wake up.  The west helped Irak to remove Sadam not because they wanted to establish a democratic nation but for their own interest, oil interest.

Ethiopia, as of today, has no oil.  So, no oil implies no interest and this again implies no intervention.

As simple as that.</description>

		<description>Tigreans have always stood up for peace, prosperity and justice for our beloved county.  No one will deny the fact, except those who have been defeated by the 17 years of bitter straggle, that Tigrians have immensely contributed and continue to do so for the betterment of our mother land.  
In its long history, Ethiopia is better developed and educated today than ever. My huts off for the Tigrain young men and women who have paid dearly for it.
It appears that the remnants of Dergu ear have not given up, at least in internet, their ill will towards not only the power that defeated them, the WEYNIN GEGNA, but also to all the Tigrains.   
If history is our witness, Tigray have never been defeated by its enemies, weather the enemy is a county, a group, or individuals.  So, I say, nothing will happen to Tigrians, because, they the peace loving Ethiopians beside them.  

 Peace and love for Ethiopia and Ethiopians.

		<description>Response to no. 82.

The fall of Dergue is not because the Tigreans were clever
for fighting or because TPLF is warriors. Sure they have been rebels. Tigreans are sensing fall sense of patriotism.
The collapse of Dergue is mainly because the spie acitivities of the west to remove socialism from Ethiopia.
Money countries contributed for Dergue to be removed. The degrue generals were facilitated to be corrupted and leave the battle field for Woyane.

It looks that the &quot;educated Tigreans&quot; are blinded by power and the especial advantage they can get from TPLF. Thanks to GOD, now TPLF is known from Eritrea to Somalia for its
evil acts let alone by Amharas.</description>

		<description>Dear Elias,

This is a very dangerous and ill motivated scribble. I wonder why you went the extra mile of reposting it again.  Please remove it from the web site. It is sickening.

		<description>This is fact! And the writer portrays the hidden fact in every tigrean who assume themselves as opposing TPLF and in others too. Guys, before condemning Elias, you better check yourself. Elias did a great job in exposing hidden agendas and this evil aspect of Woyanne must be disclosed and  must be discussed openly otherwise woyanne is killing ethiopia. God Bless Ethiopia!

		<description>Before I proceed to my comment ,let me say a few words to the writer of comment#82.Dear Yonas ali your idea is somewhat acceptable.But why you try to put those Tigreans on top of other tribes in the nation as if they were super-humans? We all know who overthrew the derg,right? The removal of derg didn&#039;t even require the involvement of the American government as a whole .They used very little fraction of their power to do so ;the only actors were the African affairs&#039; section of the state dept.When it comes to todays Tigres, it is completely different. Why they need to pick their AK-47&#039;s and look down to dedebit desert? Is that where they belong? What if they accept their Ethiopianity and live like anyone else? The unity of the country is being decided by the involvement of every citizen ,especially the majority and the most oppressed .Like it or not the future of Ethiopia will be decided by the Oromos.It is not those minority elements who will tell the mighty Oromos to sit back and see when their son is hanged for false accusations .It was the Oromos who were dying for their country but when it comes to power sharing ,something used to take place .They don&#039;t want to see that happen again .It is already a history now . If you want to know whether the Oromos love Ethiopia more than anyone ,try to talk to any peasant .But when we come to the Tigres they don&#039;t want to be called Ethiopians unless they stay on power forever . They lack the confidence of self rule .That is why they don&#039;t oppose the brutality of woyane.Today they need to calculate the future of their children before it is too late .Freedom is not in dedebit desert ,freedom is in the mind of every Ethiopian. So when it comes to revenge I cannot wait for that particular day to avenge for my mutilated,castrated,killed,lost,buried alive relatives and neighbors.In my opinion those brutal acts were approved and backed by the Tigray people.Because I haven&#039;t heard a word from any single Tigre opposing these fascism.Today there are thousands of Tigre mega-millionaires in the nation because the country belongs only and only to them at least for the moment.For your surprise the Tigres don&#039;t even accept if we call them for unity after woyane is gone . Because they only need to be on the shoulder of the innocent ,God fearing people of Ethiopia.Anyway let that day come.....GOD BLESS ETHIOPIA!</description>

		<description>This article contains the facts about the real acts and deeds of  the Meles &amp; co. It is  true that Tigres are the sole beneficiaries from this evil government .The Tigres at least haven&#039;t seen their neighbors dead body on the streets under the Meles rule.They haven&#039;t received the dead body of their son from a prison.They haven&#039;t taken to the streets in protest with the rest of the oppressed people .No one has lost his body part by brutal torture among Tigres under king Meles. None of the Tigre students were removed from universities only for their ethnic background.So how come you guys tell me that Tigres share the Ethiopian dream to come with the rest of the oppressed people of the empire?</description>

		<description>There are so many things that are lost in the minds of those who frequent this site and the contents of this article are the least of their worries. First thing first and let me enumerate.

1.	The Amhara ethnic group is so much occupied with the TPLF ethnic policy that they forgot that every ethnic group has now tested the experience of self-administration that hell will freeze over before they give up that right which was theirs to begin with. If there is going to be any change in that regard, each ethnic group is asking to have more administering power rather than going to the old feudal days of Haile Selassie. I have seen all kinds of chauvinistic ideas (particularly from the Amharas) expressed on this site based on the strong hatred they have towards the TPLF clique which has removed any remnants of the old feudal order that was left over from the Dergue days. Let me ask anyone of you who have responded to this article in some very odd ways; do you really think that all the administrative regions created by the Woyanes willingly give up their self-administration  in favor some governor assigned by a future Neftegna ruler? You may argue that you are fighting for the establishment of a democratic system of rule and not a feudal order but what I see from most who scribble on this site is just the opposite. The ideas most of you forward is to re-establish the lost hegemony of the Amharas disguised in a democratic garb. As it stands now, most of the administrative regions have a few Amharas as percentage of their population and from all indications, that percentage will go down further and the Amharas will be confined to their region as time goes by. Folks, this is the reality whether TPLF is in power or not. TPLF may have paved the way for the self-adminstration of these regions, but it is the people who are doing the real adminstration. 
2.	ONLF is not fighting to keep the geographic boundary of Ethiopia in tact. The Somalis have and will always identify with their brethren from the south. If some of you are really concerned about the plight of the Tigreans when the TPLF leaves the scene, I believe your concern is totally misplaced because a day of reckoning is waiting you when the people of the Ogaden choose to split from the mainland and declare an independent nation just like Eritrea. If you are at all concerned about the geography of Ethiopia, however you might hate it, you are lucky that you have the TPLF fighting the ONLF in its quest for independence. If you clique on this site, http://www.ogaden.com/hibaq060109.htm some of you will have a slice of the ideas what the supporters of the ONLF are talking nowadays. Now, some of you have been supporting the struggle waged by ONLF based on the belief that the Ogaden will be a part of Ethiopia, but I hate to spoil your dream because that is not the intention of the ONLF or for that matter, the people of the Ogaden. What are we going to do then? Should we continue fighting the ONLF?  Anyone remember the last time we have major wars with Somalia during the time of the Dergue and recently with the TPLF? In both instances, we had to call for help to win the conflict; Russians, Cubans and Yemenis during the 1977 war and of course the might of the American war and political machine during the 2006 war. If we can learn anything from history, all of us can clearly see how those wars ended. If we choose to stand on the path of the ONLF after the fall of the Woyane, who is going to be on our side to help us win the war of the horn? My two cents of advice to those who are bent on getting revenge on the Tigreans is to think carefully before things get out of control and end up splitting the nation into pieces.
3.	I wish our problem was only confined to the Woyanes and the ONLF, but I am afraid there is still more. As most everybody knows by now, the Oromos represent more than 40% of the Ethiopian population with a good chunk of the territory under their belt.  As it stands right now, no one knows for sure if the Oromos want their own piece of land or would like to stay with the rest of us. The Woyanes are in constant struggle with the Oromos to subjugate and rule over them. At one time, the Woyanes put more than forty-thousand Oromos behind bars to squash their struggle and thousands of Oromos are still languishing there. And the Oromos and the Ogadenis have seen that whenever someone is locked up in prison who champions the cause of the Amharas, North American and European cities are flooded with protesters to seek their freedom, but when an entire region is surrounded and the people subjected to a collective punishment as it happened in the Ogaden, the street of those same cities have no soul to care for them. These double standards have been the norm for a long time now and the minority ethnic group of Ethiopia who comprise more than eighty percent of the population have taken note. That’s one of the reason that many minority groups have decided life together with their Amhara neighbor should end if there is going to be any peace in the region. 

Compared to the myriad of problems Ethiopia will face after the rule of the Woyanes,  the fate of the Tigrean people pales in comparison. If anyone of you are under the impression that you will have your day with innocent Tigreans, rest assured that these people are warriors and are not going to wait for you to be massacred. The Tigreans comprise about six percent of the Ethiopian population and they managed to control the whole nation for the last seventeen years. Do you really believe this is a characterstics of a docile people waiting to be slaughtered? Well, these are the same Woyanes who managed to subdue and overpower black Africa’s largest and heavily armed military force into oblivion. And I find it very hard to believe a threat coming from those who are accustomed to a life of comfort in the west to take revenge on relatives of the Woyanes. 
Think positive and think peace to have a secure and peaceful nation.</description>

At one time, the Woyanes put more than forty-thousand Oromos behind bars to squash their struggle and thousands of Oromos are still languishing there. And the Oromos and the Ogadenis have seen that whenever someone is locked up in prison who champions the cause of the Amharas, North American and European cities are flooded with protesters to seek their freedom, but when an entire region is surrounded and the people subjected to a collective punishment as it happened in the Ogaden, the street of those same cities have no soul to care for them. These double standards have been the norm for a long time now and the minority ethnic group of Ethiopia who comprise more than eighty percent of the population have taken note. That’s one of the reason that many minority groups have decided life together with their Amhara neighbor should end if there is going to be any peace in the region. </p>
<p>Compared to the myriad of problems Ethiopia will face after the rule of the Woyanes,  the fate of the Tigrean people pales in comparison. If anyone of you are under the impression that you will have your day with innocent Tigreans, rest assured that these people are warriors and are not going to wait for you to be massacred. The Tigreans comprise about six percent of the Ethiopian population and they managed to control the whole nation for the last seventeen years. Do you really believe this is a characterstics of a docile people waiting to be slaughtered? Well, these are the same Woyanes who managed to subdue and overpower black Africa’s largest and heavily armed military force into oblivion. And I find it very hard to believe a threat coming from those who are accustomed to a life of comfort in the west to take revenge on relatives of the Woyanes.<br />
Think positive and think peace to have a secure and peaceful nation.</p>

the problem lies in their poor mentality.just to refer one simple example  read #60 that a pure copy of what their discussion starts and ends with in the groups like MATE(mahber tigreans in europe) and they have been patronised with hatred and exclusion in ethiopia by themselves.
no one exept them could take the responsibility to their actions.
i think the war with shaebea is part and parcel of their poor mentality bcs it was not like what we thought in the beginning and it will not happen  like what the tplf has  calculated BCS IT FAILED MISERABLEY!BUT THE TPLF SEEMS VERY STRESSDED WHICH I THOUGHT WAS THE SHAEBEA SHOULD BE STRESSED BUT THEY SEEM TO BE VERY CALM AND WORKING IN WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN!!!!

		<description>First, let me start by saying that most of you are talking in third person. It is so obvious that those who never backed away for morethan half a century to destroy anything that is Ethiopian may felt that, the current political as well as economical situation in Ethiopia is shaky. As much as your effort to destroy the BOND, natural inter-relation, mutual respect, understanding, and brother hood, YOU WILL NEVER BE SUCCESSFUL! I can tell you with confidence that WE the people of Ethiopia are more than your narrow, uneducated, and wild predictions. My advice to you is may be you need to strip yourself and stand in the fridged waters of Black Sea for 40 days facing east Beging &quot;GOD&quot; TO Re-Write the &quot;BIBLE&quot; just so your wild dreams will come true. Remember attempting to spread a sense of instability and fear into the forgiving, accepting, and peace loving people of Ethiopia is not the solution to the whole of East Africa. We need to think and see the bid picture beyond our own self centered point of view. We have to learn from our past and wrong and use it to better understand and better the future of our people in the whole of Africa!! We all are Africans and human beings after all. Let us not give in for GREED AND POWER!! because generosity and hope are what will lead us to where we all want to be.

		<description>&quot;whosoever associates and makes deal and or participates in the scheme of my enemy is my enemy Whereas he who disassociates and deals not with my enemy I trust.&quot;  the BOOK of ENOCH.  

Like Abrham searched before the heavenly fire destructed sodom; search among tigreans and see how they would fit in the teachings of ENOCH.

Are the tigreans willing to prove to the rest of Ethiopians which side they incline?

The time is now to separate the wheat from the chaffs.</description>

		<description>If nothing else convinced the Tigraes about Meles’s atrocities--what woyanes did to that hero Ethiopian pilot is enough for Tigreans to come together and denounce Meles’s regime. The pilot’s story has changed me not to trust Tigreas who SUPPORT Meles for the rest of my life. I do not understand how any human being would support the man who tortured so many innocent people. Tigreas need to stand up against Hitler Meles and take their good names back. I repeat, I believe there are a lot of Tigraes who hate Meles and they need to speak louder against this killer of so many young men and women and tortured countless people.</description>

		<description>I do not see any wrong doing in the article . TPLF is still on power not because it gets support from tegerians, because of so many mindless bandas from different  ethnice groups.The oromos are killing another oromos in support of TPLF, the amharas arekilling another amharas in support of TPLF. So theterroroist TPLF has been existing  because of other ethnice groups not only by tegerians.The article gives us brotherly advise to issolate innocent  ethiopians and punish all criminals regardless of their ethnice groups. They are bad people and good people from all ethnice groups, they are shameless bandas from all ethnice groups, so ethiopians must identify/issolate those innocents people from criminals and bring to justice those who have been killing innocent ethiopians and ethiopiait self.</description>

		<description>Thomas H,

The gruesome woyane donkey.. do the math you have nowhere
to hide. On May 7, May 15 you were wetting your pants and no one had lifted a finger against woyanes. You can bs all
day with yopur empty bravado but that day will come and your
only choice is to crawl back into your dedebit ant hall where you belong anyways. Your inferiority complex is killing you.</description>

		<description>The lovers of TPLF are more worried by this article than by what is done in their name and in the name of the people Tigray to this end. The scenario the author described above is not an unplasuable. All you need on the top of existing tension among the people of Ethiopia which by the way is artificially created started by TPLF, compounded by the economic difficulties which BTW is felt more by the rest of Ethiopia than by the people of Tigray, is a excuse that would trigger which could ignite the mix to explosion. Once you have that, the logic of confilct will take over, from there the fruits of TPLF&#039;s work will take care that Ethiopians will never trust and talk to each other.</description>

		<description>The very fact that somebody was bold enough to write this garbage shows what they are really dreaming about. For the life of me, I can no understand why Elias was trying to explain the intentions of the writer because there is no need to cover feces with gold and this piece is just that.  The writer, subliminally, is preparing a mob to inflict heavy damage on a particular ethnic group just because they share the same heritage with those who are in power. Talk about collective punishment of the worst kind! This Neanderthal is giving notice to everyone with a grudge to take the law into their hands and get their revenge after the fall of the TPLF clique. Yes, I understand he is not saying that directly because no one can dare say that but everyone can see what his true intentions are. Rulers and dictators come and go but the mutual respect, cooperation and friendship among Ethiopians have lasted centuries and that will never change despite the wishes of some deranged mind.  Both Meles and Issias committed unforgivable crimes during the time of their personal skirmishes which ended up costing thousands of lives; they uprooted thousands of citizens of their respective countries and forced them to abandon their homes and live a life of misery. Ethiopians and Eritreans ended up being a political pawn in a game very well played by close relatives. Ethiopians will never succumb to evil temptations of pitting one group against another no matter what transpired in their past lives. And this article is nothing more than trying to foment such grave atrocities against the masses of Tigreans who have nothing to do with the actions of the present ruling clique. Filth has no place in a forum that is supposed to be a medium to exchange ideas that will constructively build the only place we call all call home. Elias, grow up and try to be civilized.</description>
