ADDIS ABABA, Oct. 1 (Xinhua) — Ethiopia The Woyanne tribal dictatorship in Ethiopia and Norway on Wednesday agreed to restore their relations to the previous status following a meeting of their foreign ministers held on Sept. 25 in New York, Ethiopia's Woyanne Foreign Ministry said.
"The two ministers reviewed the report of the joint technical committee established with a mandate to look into all aspects of the problems and misunderstandings that led to the regrettable turn of events in the relations between Ethiopia Woyanne and Norway," said the ministry in a statement.
The ministers expressed satisfaction with the work of the technical committee, and agreed to restore relations between the two countries to their previous status, it said.
"The decision taken by the government of the Federal Democratic Republic of del datetime="2008-10-02T03:09:51+00:00″>Ethiopia Woyanne in connection with the diplomatic representation of the Kingdom of Norway in Addis Ababa has been rescinded."
The ministry expressed belief that cooperation between the two countries will continue to deepen in all areas, the statement said.
In August last year, Ethiopia deported six Norwegian diplomats, saying that they had interfered in Ethiopia's internal affairs.
However, Ethiopia Woyanne was insisting it had not severed diplomatic relations with Norway but was unhappy with its dealings with Eritrea in particular.
The row was caused by Norway's support for the next round of border talks with Eritrea to be held at UN headquarters in New York.

Woyanne must be short of donated flour and cooking oil for its mercenaries to all of a sudden decide to warm up diplomatic relations with Norway, short of that I don't see why Woyanne would want to have a diplomatic relationship with Norway when Norway has warm relations with Eritrea and is not afraid to follow indpendent foreign policy unlike most western European countries. Woyanne knows well that Norway is one of the few western countries that cooperates with Eritrea in peace talk of the Sudan and other areas in our region, Woyanne doesn't want or like that kind of independent or fair foreign policy. They thought they were a regional power but now with aid donation drying up from their masters Woyanne decided to play nice with Norway. I hope Norway sees thrhough this transparent ploy and not give Woyanne free "aid" because we all know what Woyanne uses the aid for.

This is great. I am sure Elias was having a stomach and head ache when he was reading this news item.

The chances are that this rogue Woyane regime, through its representative in UN, got down to its knees and begged to Norway for normalization a relationship between the two. Because, by not doing, Woyane, not the Ethiopian people, has a lot to lose financially. After all, it's a professional beggar and will do anything to fill its coffin which, unfortunately, is being used to kill countless innocent people inside Ethiopia and Somalia.
As for the border issue with Eritrea, it's a done deal and there's nothing the MLLT regime can do to change it.
May God save Ethiopia from this blood sucking regime through his miraclous power or otherwise.
