A document obtained by Ethiopian Review’s Intelligence Unit reveals that the U.S. Department of State has asked Congress to give $472 million in 2009 to Ethiopia’s brutal dictatorship that has just been kicked out of Somalia. The document states:
A major objective of U.S. assistance in Ethiopia, Africa’s second most populous country, is to help the Government of Ethiopia (GOE) to proceed with the difficult transition from a de facto one-party state to a representative multi-party democracy. In addition, U.S. assistance will continue to help the GOE to improve its ability to anticipate and respond to food emergencies, to bolster its economic growth, and to expand its basic health and education services to reduce poverty. Promoting regional stability and denying transnational terrorists a safe haven in the Horn of Africa are also key objectives.
In reality, the U.S.-backed Woyanne regime in Ethiopia is a terrorist regime that has in the past two years alone slaughtered tens of thousands of Ethiopian and Somali civilians. The U.S. State Department is sponsoring the worst terrorist in Africa, Meles Zenawi, to kill and mayhem more people. With the $472 million, the U.S. is fueling the Woyanne killing machine.

America is broke.
Were the money comming from.
ooooppppppphs
………”The increase of funding between FY 2008 and FY 2009 to support programs in the Peace and Security Objective reflect increased national security threats posed by domestic insurgents, Eritrea, and extremists from Somalia, requiring a significant increase in foreign assistance for this strategic partner of the United States.”
This sums up how the US is justified the persecution of democratic forces representing 80 million Ethiopians. Here in US Ethiopians contribute more than $2 billion to the national coffer only to find that money funneled back to an alien regime brutalizing our people.
Call your congress representative and voice your opposition in the allocation this budget and instead remind this bill stands against the HR 2003 which the house passed unanimously.
God Save Ethiopia
Ato Elias
Pathetic liar and destorter of facts on the ground. Why the US government is watching you in silence is beyond my comprehnsion.
Here we go again. Another life support system to prolong the suffering and misery of the our people. The US is solely responsible for never ending misery of our people. Folks, we are on our own, nobody is going to save us from these bandits. We have to unite and fight hard to free our people from these monsters. If we sit and hope the next US president to make a significant political change in our country, we will be disappointed and demoralized if our wishes didn’t come true.
Shame on US
Outrageous !
To defeat this GENOCIDAL regime,we ethiopians are in our own. Let us not to be foolish and wait for the west, instead we should unite and fight together and bring about DEMOCRACY to our motherland
Dear Elias,
This is very good reporting; exposing what the enemies of Ethiopia are upto, the support they earn from here and there and etc. This would help those of us who fight against Woyane peacefully or otherwise – taking well-informed joint actions against the atrocious regime. This is how we all can play our part against Meles and co.
It is also fantastic to see publications attributed to Birtukan Mideksa. This is a testimony of constructive journalism: standing for the people, by the side of the people, voicing the concerns of the people.
Keep this up please!
OMG!!!!!!!!!
WELL WOYANE IS HERE TO STAY FOREVER.
I can’t believe my eyes.
472 million???????????????????????????????
All Ethiopian vote for Obama goes to nothing.
I knew something fishy when AIGA and other Woyane website support Obama.
Ethiopians what can be done??????????
Where is the US to get the Money it promised the Woyanes. These Ponzi-Schemers have noy yet realised that they are now busted.
The US is now exposed. It has been playing with the Foreign Reserves of other countries, with no gratitude, for too long.
Now is WAKE UP time. The US is going to face reality, whether it likes it or not; and this is going to destroy it, the US.
Every country, from Russia to Brazil, from Bolivia to Ruanda, from South Africa to Belerus, from Iran to Nicaragua from North Koria to Pakistan are enjoying the show, the demise of the self proclaimed Empire.
Bless the Planet.
the last 50 years, egyptian dictatorship government got 10 billion american dollars a year to make its army strong and finance rebels like TPLF, EPLF, OLF and ONLF so that ethiopia is divided and weak to use the Nile river.
it is so sad to see that our country is so divided today and we are forced to complain about tiny american $$ aid like 472 million (less than 1/20th of what egypt gets)
when will ethiopia learn to unite?? God help us.
Keep up the good job ER staff, People are inflated by Obamas rhetoric of change. But failed to ask, What is it for us,Ethiopia ?Nothing.If you look at EAST AFRICA, with Horn situation USA has no options Except TPLF and TPLF knows it well, Sudan(Darfur) is important to US and Woyane already cashed the check written by J. Fraser. TPLF is untouchable for WEST,very loyal DOG! TPLF is going for one party system and there is nothing Ethiopians can do about it, Obama and co. will work with TPLF. And USA and TPLF will be against Eritrea and Al Bashir,that is for sure. USA invested billions through IMF and Others in Ethiopia they are not going to change their way for Birtukan. We are on our own!
Go G7
Diaspora Ethiopians have to lobby their respective congress men/women and Senators to stop US political and financial assistance of Woyane thugs in the name of Ethiopia. It is a pity that US tax payers have to subsidize the crimes of Zenawi and his Tigrean thugs against the people of Ethiopian.
It is only appropriate – with the incarceration of Birtukan Midekssa and hundreds of thousands of prisoners of conscience suffering in Zenawi’s dungeons that Ethiopians make our voices heard by rallying to Congress, the White House and the streets of the cities of the free world. We have to demonstrate on the streets of Washington DC to make it clear that the Obama Adminstration will not continue business as usual with this murderous petty dictator and his Tigrean thugs.
Woyanne is America’s primo slave in Africa, they have to pay them to do their dirty work in the name of democracy of course, the spy masters at the state department need their boy Melles to wreck havoc on the Horn of Africa, it take dough to do so. Now all I want to hear is the so called democracy buffs in Ethiopia, what do they have to say about such blatant nursing of Woyanne by the democratic US? No matter who is in power in the US the foreign policy stays the same, that’s a hard fact we Eritreans learned since 1952. It only gets modified when the US is in a weaker position to influence events.
Weyane got his pay chek for distroying somalia and at the expense of inocent ppl of somalia and poor Ethiopian soldiers. The blood money, however, will not let weyane go with it. Blood money is very dangerous and will hunt weyane at mid-night. You will see.
Meles’ main enemy is not the wet-pants opposition but the reducles corruption that is killing EPRDF from within! This money will end up in Weyanes coffers!
Ethiopia is rich country Abay river Tana lake… gold, precious stone, rich soil, etc… but bad government, corruption, ethnic division, jealousy, ignorace, beging… make most Ethiopians lazy with out no future. I don’t know when this all will END. God pls Help HELP
Murder for hire should be the title.
Thia is not acceptable, you guys who live and work in the USA and UK you have to go and see your local senators or MPs and make sure that your voice is being heard, this is one way that we can stop the TPLF government mistreating our people and our beloved country.
This is for all Ethiopian people, please keep on singing ‘bad boys, bad boys, what you going to do when we come for you’ our boys and girls is fighting in frontline to remove this one side criminal (TPLF), please people, keep one believing on EPPF. Long live our boys and girls who are fighting in the name of peace and one Ethiopia EPPF.
People must protest about this! This money is the life line of Meles regime!
You nationalists countrymen, do not blame the US for vain. The US care about only their national interests. If you are strong, the US is always wih you. Grab the key leadership position in Ethiopia by destroying Weyanne by any means. The US needs strong government. Weyanne has no strong base in military as well as among people. You the nationalists have strong base in all aspects.
All you need is strong leader which brings the spirit of UNITY into action. I have a strong belive that the intiation of EPPF and Ginbot 7 is a big move in solving our common problem!
Unity First
It is very sad news. Again the US government is choosing child killers and looters over the interest of the majority of the Ethiopian people. Let the Woayne bandits and their supporters pocket the money. Folks, it is a matter of time. Justice will come to those who loot and kll.
Death to the Tigrian bandits!!
Elias Thank you for exposing this secret .If we couldn’t have wise leaders we deserve to be a horse for Meles and US
Do you think Obama give a dam for Ethiopia? I don’t think so he will be busy making history & make sure he will have four more years in White House ,people if you want to make a change in Ethiopia be ONE PEOPLE, ONE PARTY, ONE NATION & stop haiting each other then make a plan LOVE you people , then Ethiopia will be FREE from monestors. That all i want to stay US policy always give plenty of money for dictators to kill then people it is not new realy old policy, all we have to do is be one & PRAY a lot look what happen to US soon or leater all of them will pay TPLF, US, UK etc.HAPPY NEW YEAR ETHIOPIANS 2009 will be our people year, i so it in my dreams i guss i am tired of CRYING about my countery. GOD BELESS ETHIOPIA I SAID 2009 YES 2009 WE WILL BE FREE.
Elias, how about the ERIU evolve into an agency that follows and exposes the activities of State Terrorists more effectively than those which barely prepare fake reports to justify the destruction of thousands if not millions of innocent lives? Well, take this as a joke or just a New Years wish for ER.
At this juncture, Ethiopian activists as well as those from the other nations in the Horn have to start to dig well into the complicated financing mechanisms that the Woyanes in particular get under various wrapped project from the State Department and what not.
It has to be clear by now that the supporters/masters of Melles and Co.would do all they can to keep him in power since they won’t get any other substitute that takes orders like a puppy does from his master.However,the question is whether the BIG PROJECTs tailored for controlling the HORN through the Woyane gangs are still vaible or not….The strong wind of CHANGE in America as in the rest of the globe is sweeping away those schems into oblivion at the speed of light.
But that does not mean that it will go away by itself….each and everyone of us has to do what we are supposed to do…Fight for JUSTICE in whatever form we see fit.
Justice and Peace in the Horn.
