Ethiopian officials are known to lie.
They lied about their football players defecting.
In the end, the truth prevails.

Can someone tell this guy to calm down, please consider the following assuming Meles has PASSED AWAY
1. Is it not our value and ethics to be respectful at least in the way we deal with the news, its ethiopian trend and culture once someone is gone his gone you just show respect and never leave a bad precedence like this.
2. Its time to calmly consider whats next, NOT TIME TO TALK ABOUT HIS DEATH, this includes how do we proceed who should we support, remeber the 2005 mistake. being emotional will simply lead us to a dead end a gridlock.
3. We have never recognized a “tesadaby ” as a hero. please lets look for people who are pragmatic and be behind those. This is a tough tim and we have the toughest days ahead.
3. Whatever is the fact remeber we all want things at home to be better but never in the cost of lives there. those who want change in the cost of lives should go to addis not talk in DC.

Why the ruling tribalist group kept us in ” LIMBO ? ” As we all know the ruling tribalists are at odds among themselves . They resented the powerful ones , some are left out, some are demoted from their position . Simply put it the tribalists are very bitter toward Melese . Melese conolidated his power slowly, but surely . The rank and file did not even get crumbs . Most of all the people of Tigray did not benefit a penny because like the rest of the country poor they are living by the alms of the international rich . Infact , the people of Tigray can witness one thing that is some of the elite TPLF groups became unreachables and untouchables . There is more to it . The TPLF elites made a big rift between the people of Tigray province and the rest of the 13 provinces . And also the TPLF narrow nationalists promised the stars and the moon, but deleivered nothing . What I assume is that there was a coup detat and probably Melese was murdered or severly injured by the coup leader or may be they skined him alive and buried him under the desk of the coup leader like Mengistu Haile Mariam buried emperor Haile Silase under his desk .In my view the coup groups are buying TIME until they divide the key positions among themselves and will declare the death of their leader .The power struggle will never stop and I hope they all die and disappearInstantaneouly .

At least in secret,are they preparing a kurban for his arba? So that his soul will not roast in hell. And where is Azeb? There must be a way to bring her to justice and get all the money she stole from the Ethiopian people. We have to think what to do in this period of aftre – Zenawi.

Bravo!!! Abe… We count on you… You’re doing your part well…but we feel shame on the oppositions… where are they now?…they’ve been talking a lot for the past decades & they’re now telling us the people have to uprise from inside…this is funny!!… what is their role? What were they doing for all those years? This is obviously the result of ‘part time’ struggle. So the Ethiopian people now wittnessing another historical chance to establish a strong nation is passing by.

abe, my hero,

” It is fair to say good riddance to a brutal tyrant that has tortured our people for over two decades. ”

indeed my brother, INDEED! i personally think this mans demise came about after ‘somebody ‘ brought the incredible haulk to its knees with ‘words’. no, these were NOT just words, but the voice of 90 mil oppressed ethiopians coming out of one messangers mouth…’ abebe gelaw’!

over night you have become a larger than life figure, a nightmare to one region, and a god given hero and ‘representative’ of more than 80 mil ethiopians in other region. thankyou for all that you’ve done dear brother, and wellcome home.(spiritually). may the good lord continue to bless you and your family.
