Ethiopia’s fields of plenty – photo

December 26th, 2008 |  |  7 Comments

Ethiopia, what a strange country! Fields seem in capacity to feed the people of Ethiopia, but at the same time we are faced with one of the worst famine in 20 years. The regime of Ethiopia (Meles Zenawi firstly) is one of the most useless in the world. [Mr. Garcon, corn and other crops grown in Ethiopia are being exported by companies affiliated with the ruling party while millions of Ethiopians are starving. That's why we have been saying that the Meles regime is a vampire that is sucking the life blood of Ethiopia.]

    Ethiopia`s food problem is not a technical but political problem. It is no wonder to have famine in a country that kills one of the brilliant agriculturist (Dr. Dagnatchew Yirgou – Minister of Agriculture during the Derg era) and force thousands if not millions of educated people to leave the country.
    In Biology/Genetics it is called selective breeding. Normally one selects for good traits but in the case of Ethiopia only the killers and looters are remaining and they are doing their job of looting and killing until they will be killed like all other dictators.

    to tell the truth,i dont’t understand completeley.how come
    we have been starved the last twenty years.we have big fertlaizer land which is able to feed the all africa.at the
    same time we have had a gerat deal of rivers that has been goes to 80 percent in different neighborhood counteries and contain a large number of minerals.take look at the biggest blue nile river which located in our countery.we are not able to use those rivers properly.that is really shame on us.at the same time one thing we shuold know is we have access to feed all over the world.not only ourselves that is undienable fact.let me show you some thing,the gold of blue nile goes to sudan in to egypt and they are able to use accurately by farming rice and cotten.but we ethiopians
    are starving by blue nile.right now we are addicted by aid by the way,those chanise peoples are making our food which is injera and wette and planning send to back home very soon.that is sad,i strongly blame the regime of derge and weyanne because they spent a gerat deal of money by vanity which means buying useless wapon and has been stayed war each other.i rememebe that 1977 more than 20 million people are stareved so-that,derge regime is spenting a lot of money by vanity such as celeberating un nessesery annversearey.it’s woes.at same time.right now more than 10 million people are stareved.so-that,weyanne regime is buying wepon to invaded somila.instead of buying food machine,educational equpement,medcine,computer,etc…
    God blees ethiopan.

    it is not today that I said melesi was vampire there is no humanity and human right in Ethiopia alwas they building their ruling party rather than establishing self food security I never belive that government want to kill the people with starvation not only melesi all of Tigrai people vampaire too they fills their on the behalf of millions of starved people
    I conclude that at all in my openion Ethiopian government thinking with their anus what the external observer will say if they starts to export grain onather hand they inport wheat to the countery
    it is not necessary at all to coment Ethiopian government

    Our problem is the parasitic releationship with the so-called “civilized world”. They install “friendly tyrants” like Meles Zenawi and loot our resources including human resources. How many Ethiopian/African scientists are in Europe and North America while their respective countries are suffering from looting and state terrorism. If there is a will, there is a way. If we really want peace and prosperity for all, it is possible to have a mutual relationship.
