In the woyanne dictionary human rights means killing people or putting people in prison.

kikikikikiki-what a joke! It is the epitome of corruption.
Meles please don’t pee on Ethiopians and tell us it is raining.
A message from Abraham Lincoln: Meles can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but Meles can not fool all of the people all of the time.

This is not joke of day, it is joke of the century. Meles Zenawi, the Hitler of Africa does not know nothing about human rights. Meles Zenawi knows how to murder, bomb, massacre people. In addition to comitting these dreadful crimes and grave human rights violation in Ethiopia, as recently reported by Human Rights Watch, he is also committing WAR CRIMES and GENOCIDE in Somalia. As a result of these crimes he will face War Crime charges and will be hanged in public.

Why be surprised? It's typical and Orwellian.
See, some people have human rights in Ethiopia. It just only happens to be the Tigray tribe’s men and women, who by mere coincidence of common origin as the chieftain, (and being chosen by fate as more Ethiopians than mere small "e" Ethiopians), they enjoy all rights and privileges afforded to all citizens of the chiefdom.
Blame your bad stars. Those tribal oafs had their stars all line up right. Do they see the stars shifting any time soon? No, not yet. Besides, why worry about shifting stars, when there are plenty of rights and privileges to be had right NOW.

Yayit mesikira Dinbit.Both Kassa Gebre Hiwot and Menbere Tsehai Tadesse are family members of Woyanne.The former is a plant with the mission to render inoperative the Ethiopian Human Rights Council established by our icon professor emeritus, Mesfin Wolde Mariam, the latter is a cadre put to silence opposition members under the cloak of a judge.
Indeed it's a joke made on the helpless Ethiopians who are under the firm grip of Woyanne.We should continue our peaceful struggle for the realization of democracy, the only viable system that can liberate our people from the Medieval Woyanne's Tribal Politics.

The Woyanes participation in the international human rights day in Ethiopia demonstrates how arogant, ignorant, backward, cheap and mean they are. Yeleba Ayne-Derek, Meleso Lib Yaderk. Mathematically speaking Woyane is not equal to human rights. Never been, never is, never will. They are sickening and disgusting. Hell with them.
