True, I have said many times and I still to my prediction that our beloved mother, Ethiopia, will disintegrate not because of CIA as some has claimed but because of Egypt and its pupet regime EPDRF of Meles. Because I have no power to stop this, I just pray day and night!

Some of you come here and write absolute rubbish. US or any other western power does not have any interest in the break up of Ethiopia. In fact it is the other way around. US will be forced to feed more hungry Ethiopians if that country descends into mayham and chaos. Therefore, the assertion that CIA is working day in and day out to break up Ethiopia is as absurd as someone trying to convince you that earth is actually flat.

One of the reasons why we are so miserable and in this permanent crisis is we have never taken responsiblity for our own actions. It has always been some one else's fault for every ill we suffered.

I totally agree with the person who predicts our future that we will break up. It will be because of the lack of democratic system in the country than any thing else. It will be because of the rampage on human rights abuse. It will be because of such perception that someone else is going to destroy us. We will destroy ourselves.

Meles Zenawi does not have any sense of goodwill toward that country. He will do anything to protect his power, even at the cost of the existence of that country. Look how the unity, future prospect, and general wellbeing of that country deteriorated since he declared war on human rights in that country in 2005. Because of such inhumane acts by this Nazi gov, the ONLF is stronger than it has ever been. So is OLF. The emergence of new fighting forces such as Ginbot 7 and EPPF are the result of rampant human rights abuse and lack of democratic process in the country. On top of that, look at the old EPRP agents' war on non-Amhara Ethiopians. I don't think EPRP's vilification of non-Amhara Ethiopians will be helpful to keep the country united.

We are destroying our own country. Ethiopia is not that important a country for the CIA to lose sleep over.

To Yared,
Ofcourse the USA and Europe prospered at the expense of the people and land they enslaved and later colonized and now being neo colonizing via those brutal-coward dictators like meles Zenawi, Maputo Sese-Seko, Pinochet and many more.
One thing you misrepresented the history is that you mentioned that the "West colonized Africa except Ethiopia". Ethiopia was colonized by italy from 1935 until General wingate and his Indian contingent army liberated Ethiopia in the late 1941 and reinstated Haileselassie to the throne after his exile in England for nearly 6 years.
On the top of this factual history, ethiopia played a part in the scrambble for africa when Minelik solicited arms from France to colonize Oromia. All the evils that the west perpetrated on the people of Africa, Asia and latin America can squarely be blamed on the brutality of Minelik on the people of Oromia he colonized. That is not teret-teret – It's a fact that you have to get in terms with so that the healing process can start. Denial of history can cause hatred to breed that the Zenawi tyrant is wxploiting at the moment.
CIA and the state department have made exploitation central to their progress but we should not be complicit to their evil acts.

God bless all.

Yonas, I differ with your prediction that Woyane and Shaebia will normalize relationship. Let me give you two simple reasons. First, Shaebia and Woyane have nothing, repeat NOTHING in common. While one is a most discplined organization with selfless visionary leaders who put the ordinary people's interests before them, the other one is comprised of the world's most notorious, corrupted, deceitful, ethnic-centered and viscious leaders who sell and enslave their country and people for some change. What people should remember is that EPLF and TPLF differed in almost everyhthing you can think of from get go. While EPLF believed in self reliance both in principle and action, the Woyanes mastered in begging. TPLF's grandeous plan to establish "Greater Tigray" was one of the major disagreements between the two movements. EPLF strongly opposed to such expansionist and selfcentered idea and instead called for a unified Ethiopia. At the height of the 1998 war when the TPLF thug leaders inhumanely deported over 80 thousands babies, elders,women, the very sick Eritreans and Ethiopians of Eritrean origin, the EPLF leadership restrained itself from taking such reckless and irresponsible action, and instead called on its citizens for calm for it knew that governments may come and go, but the people of Ethiopia and Eritrea will always live as neighbours. In contrary to the Woyane's propaganda machine (WIC),I can confidently say that most Ethiopians who were residing in Eritrea left willingly and under the supervision of ICRC. The second reason why I don't see a normalization of relations between EPLF and Woyane can be summarized as such. People of Ethiopia are sick and tired of how their country is being used and abused by the TPLF bandits and are on the verge of working out a plan to demise it and its evil schemes once and for all. TPLF's humiliated defeat in Somalia by a small number, ill-equiped but determined fighters is an eye openning to freedom-loving people that TPLF is not as invincible as it thinks it is and its misadventurism and hollow" military might" is in a state of collapse as we see it. In the nutshell, while the prospective for a peacefull coexistence between the people of Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia and Sudan is inevitable and near, there would be no Woyane per se to talk about in significance let alone normalization of relationship.

In its Somalia Adventure Woyane learned the limitation of military power in solving regional confilicts as Shaebia learned the same lesson during the 1998-2000 boarder war.
I predict that in 2009 Woyane will accept the EEBC ruling and allow border demarcation with Eritrea to go ahead. It Might take some time but in the end Woyane and Shaebia will normalize relations.

Dear ethiopian family,don't even worry about their evil prediction,they are telling us what they wish to our mother ethiopia for the last 100 years,but i will give every ethiopian family a very important prediction in the bible about ethiopia and the current event in the horn of africa,recently the most powerfull nations on earth deployed and dispached their navy ships in order to fight somalia piracy which is funded and supported by the same superpowers but truth is they have a hidden agenda to control the intire sub-sahara and the middle east and the most shocking of all most african leaders are their puppet(slave)and they are a part taker on this issue,please go see the bible concerning this event,RAI ESAYAS chapter 18,1-20 you need to understand when the bible say ships with wings it means fighter get or airplane,GOD IS THE FATHER AND ETHIOPIA IS THE MOTHER and we are their children.

As it was mentioned in your website recently we need leaders like President Isaias Afeworki who are strong and who care for the peace of the whole East Africa. All these years our region has been influenced and dictated by outsid
western policies…..it is time for us to Stand up for our people and our region. We can live in harmony and peace with out dividing our countries in to small pieces if we have such visionary and fearless leaders like Isaias.

Weyane's aim of destroying ethiopia and its people historical unity, so that it will build greater Tigray with out any challenge from the disintegrated weak Ethiopia is not a cheap propoganda that is being played by Ethiopian patriots or weyane enemies specially by E.P.L.F leaders.It is the unrealistic dirty dream that was manifested by the criminal weyane elites long time ago in Dedebit the evil place that gave birth to the wicked weyane.Look what happened in Dire Dawa last few days whn the evil plots of weyane comes up in action.Wake up Ethiopian patriots before it is too late.Confront Meles the midget and his gangs whenever they kill one of your kind whether he/she is moslem,christian ,harare,oromo,tigray,amhara etc.

Ethiopia and the other African countries mentioned in the article would disintegrate only if the people and their political leaders allow that to happen or work towards that end.
Most African countries are vulnerable because civil societies and other institutions necessary to keep the country together are either weak or non-existent, thus lack of internal cohesion. Otherwise, the influence of foregners is, in fact, very limited. For instance, what particular power Mr. Heilberg and his associates have unless Sudan is already on the verge of collapse?.

this is not a new discovery or he is not the first and probably the last person to say about the ethiopian SIMNT SHI ZEMEN.bcs the TPLF has been spreading the fears among ethiopians that the country would be…no country if the so called SHIFTOCH,OLF,ONLF….won the game in the battle. the message is crystal clear IF PEOPLE OPPOSE TPLF THEN ETHIOPIA WOULD BREAK INTO PIECES.when this has been expired then they turned to the so called foreign supporters like mr.phillipe to inject their venemous fear and skeptisisim among the public and the growing oppositions to the TPLF regime for the sak of their interests.
on the other way i am not hiding the wounds we have, rather than i believe that by acknowledging our weakness we can be more aware and extend our commitment more to the unity of the country by any means available to our advantage.
we should first and formost make a radical change in our reading to the geapoletics of our region.WE SHOULD READ MATTERS IN THREE DIMENTIONS RATHER THAN IN TWO,WHICH IS THE OUTDATED, AND EXAUSTIVE WAY OF READING..
and remmember mr.phillipe has made a point which is how the CIA deals with conflicts in AFRICA. HE CLEARLLY UNDERLINED THAT THEY NOGOTIAT WITH THOSE WHO RAISE A GUN FOR THEIR CAUSE.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a surpris for most of us,i believe!!!!!!!
bye for now.

“You have to go to the guns, this is Africa,” Mr Heilberg said by phone from New York.
The article has truth in it about fragmentation of African countries specialy Ethiopia by TPLF. As the same time only Ethiopia with the help of Eritrea of course, can save Sudan from disaster by blocking US interference in the region. The Sudan situation will be out of reach for neocons. Who will they send to do their dirty work when TPLF is gone.No one. And for those people who are depressed about Birtukan imprisonment,i like to remind you to think Ethiopia the country as a whole. It is pathetic of us to shout for her release as a poletical rally knowing she was not a decent politician( Case point-
1, she kept the pardon fiasco for her self letting people disoriented and disfranchised for the last three years,2 Her association with Disgruntled criminal TPLF thugs) why didn't she say it back then when people were out raged for accepting the pardon while the mothers of slain students got nothing to say about it. The resistance was not her or Kinjits idea, we just wanted change- No one cared what Kinijit has for Ethiopia after the election but they took it as if they were Nelson Mandela the creator and the Master mind of the resistance.It was repeatedly asked to her and all Kinijit leaders but they go around the bush because they were afraid of TPLF. People who are afraid of TPLF and take humiliating treatment cant be our leaders,period. Join G7 to free Ethiopia other than that it is a wast of time.

If I were you, I will take a heed on what this former CIA is saying. That is the problem with us, we just say how dare he, but it is action we need not just insults. Globalization means Western's incursion on other countries for resources especially corporations. When they talked about "Save Darfur" do you think they care for Darfurians, no, it is an advantage that the West is using because of the climate change that is affecting in Sudan region, by calling it persecution by Sudan government so that to Weaken Sudan, break it so that they [West] can get hold of the oil and other resources. It is also strange this "save Darfur" idea came from most Jews in the West, I wonder if Israel has interest in this.

The bottom line is that while on our [we the people]watch, Wyane divided our people, we gave them 17 or more years to strengthen their own military so that we get oppressed, without debate Eritrea broke away, pieces of our land was given to Sudan. We are now waiting for this government to break our country apart and we are still watching. In fact there has been secret meeting between TPLF and OLF. Why do we think that is, it is probably to make a deal with OLf about the breaking apart. Remember, the West doesn't give hoot about us if TPLF and OLF offer them some kind of deal such as land etc. The West, as long as it gets something that is useful, morality, humanitarian, support especially to non Western countries, etc is not their priority.

The sooner we wake up the better.

For instance what we can do:
1. how can we change the anti Ethiopian minds of Weyane/TPLF/EPRDF
2. How active are EPPF and Ginbot 7
3. Why are we trusting Eritrea, what guarantee are there and why should they support us?
4. What do the diaspora are doing: how active are we to influence American government about Ethiopia, how do we influence to free our hero Birtukan, how do we develop our mind from tribalism, resentment to unify us and work towards common goal
5. How Ethiopians despite oppression they face can sacrifice, and be active in freeing leaders and others who have been imprisoned? What sacrifices can they make to protect and influence the betterment of Ethiopia?

We need to unify first.

Peace and love for Ethiopia

It takes no brainier to know where Ethiopia is leading. The work on Ethiopian disintegration was completed when Ethiopia became ethnic based federation. No doubt that Ethiopia's fate was designed by CIA and British. Weyane and Shabia were used as instruments. Shabians realized finally how these foreign powers used them. Now, they are struggling to keep Eritrea as viable state. Weyanes, on the other hand, have no clue where they are heading. Their mercenary leaders have no choice but implement the commitment they had to their backers. If they break this contract, Sadam’s fate await for them.

Weyane and its mercenary leaders, not only destroy Ethiopia but they are also commissioned to destroy others. Two missions have already accomplished; Ethiopia and Somalia have changed irreversibly. The next move with the help of the same players is to implement the same policy on Eritrea; creation of ethnically federated Eritrea.

That is why it is so much important the cooperation of Eritreans and Ethiopians in the removal of this cancerous regime once and for all. There is no guarantee that Ethiopia may survive even after Weyanes removal. But at least, our kids will not inherit the break up mess in their life time and they will get a chance to decide what is best for them.

The American is absolutely a realistic guy.Hey,look what's going on in Ethiopia each and everyday.Maybe you guys live far away from your homeland.TPLF and its creation OPDO (most of whose members work for OLF )are destroying our country's unity.Who's going to stop them?The so called opposition melted away by personal greed and bickering.Those of us who live outside spent our money,energy and time on propaganda rather than on_____ you know what I meant to say.Therfore,all anti unity forces have a free lunch to do their dirty job. Blame me because I told the truth.Atleast I've to tell you all what you expect to happen and don't have the gut to admit it.Ethiopian Review,please don't block my honest assesment,publish it so that everyone can wake up and do something about it soon.We don't have time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
