Bereket Simon reappointed as propaganda chief

January 13th, 2009 |  |  10 Comments

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (APA) Meles Zenawi’s regime in Ethiopia, which recently dissolved its ministry of Information, on Tuesday established a new Communication Affairs Bureau to take its place.

In December 2008, the Meles regime officially dissolved the Ethiopian Ministry of Information saying that there was no need to continue the work of the ministry. Instead, the government decided to establish a new bureau at a cabinet level.

Accordingly, the [rubber-stamp] Ethiopian parliament on Tuesday endorsed the appointment by Prmie Minister dictator Meles Zenawi of Bereket Simone as minister of the new Communication Affairs Bureau.

Simone, who was a public relations advisor to Prime Minister Meles, also served as minister of the defunct Ethiopian Information Ministry a few years ago.

The new bureau is expected to undertake various communications activities, including the dissemination of government policies and strategies at national level.

    Objective: We dont care if Meles sytanawi appoint Bereket as a master killer or a master poor propagandasit or a master rappist.

    Given: One thing we all know is that the poor propaganda of the weyane ill mannered group wont change either the ethiopians or the westerners, since TPLF( Tigirian Parasite Looting Frog) is known for thier enormous crimes that they have commited for the last 18 years, which poor propaganda would not change it.

    Solution: 1- we ethiopians have only have to assume that weyane is the no ONE enemy of the ethiopians.

    2- We have either support the best political parties like Ginbot 7 finacially, idealy, and morally, or find our own ways to fight weyane or just to get rid of weyane.

    3- we ethiopians do not have to spend more time on argumentative ideas, rather lets spend more time on practical moves against weyane.

    4- Fight the weyane everywhere in diaspora, through churches, mosques, communities, schools, civic and political organizations.

    5- Try to expose the weyane HODAM non-tigrian cadres everywhere and give enough information for best ethiopian websites so that everyone can identify them.

    6- Boycatt all weyane business and thier products in diaspora, including Resturants, gas stations, convience stores, groceries, and all products that comes from ethiopia including Ambo Mineral water, Axumite wine, Teff enjera and others.

    Finally, we all would be able to see the end of weyane era soon,

    Together we win.

    Death to all weyane members, blind and racist supporeters, and HODAM cadres

    Last minute to save weyane agazzzi baby killer

    During two successive afternoons, on Dec. 5 and 6, prime minister Meles Zenawi convened 45 ministers and senior civil servants to outline the results of his government at length. According to information gleaned by The Indian Ocean Newsletter, he singled out some in attendance by name, accusing them of incompetence and informing everyone that a purge of ministers and deputy ministers would follow.

    During the Dec. 5 session he specifically pointed the finger at Teshome Toga, speaker of Ethiopia’s parliament, and accused him of spending the government’s money on trips and entertainment instead of fulfilling his functions. Surprisingly, the Parliament’s speaker, who is on extremely bad terms with the prime minister’s wife, Azeb Mesfin, didn’t take the criticism lying down as most dignitaries of the Ethiopian regime tend to do. On the contrary, he stood his ground with the prime minister, explaining that the funds given to him for a five day trip weren’t adequate to cover his expenses and that he paid some money out of his own pocket. Considering that Zenawi was altogether aware of that fact, he demanded that the prime minister withdraw what he saw as unfair criticism.

    At that moment, visibly furious, Zenawi held his head in his hands and called for a 30 minute suspension of the session, claiming he had a terrible headache. He rested for a moment in another room where a doctor came to tend to him and give him pills, after which he proceeded with his speech.

    The prime minister subsequently praised Abdula Gemeda, president of Oromiya Regional State, who wasn’t present at the gathering. He also raised the question of differences between Ethiopian generals on the strategy to deploy on Somalia. Elsewhere, he admitted that despite his talks with Djibouti president Ismail Omar Guelleh and the presents he offered him, Djibouti had finally raised its port fees. The move, said Zenawi, could only “worsen our economic problems.”

    I can totally agree with Samuel; if we are all to follow the trend of all dictators and killers around the world like weyane they have done the same thing at the last minute; form Schakasku or Romania to Saddam of Iraq. Wether Legesse Z. appoints the bull dog looking Bereket Simon or others to any position he/they will never be saved from the crimes they have committed 1st against the Ethiopian people, 2nd the Eritrean people, and 3rd the Somalians. Brothers and sisters: the innocents blood that were shed by these butchers and slaves will hunt every weyane for many generations to come. I just hope they will be around to be hunted like the Nazis!

    To talk frankly;

    Bereket is a gifted speaker. Meles is an arrogant and when you go through his talk, there is no substance. But Bereket, really he is a gifted speaker with substances.

    Elias,

    I appreciate what you are doing to topple TPLF down. You are the exact match to Woyyane: uncompromising and relentless. Your shortcomings, however is that you are hasty in your conclusions and lacking a long-term vision. You may be needed by Ethiopia till the moment Woyane is thrown over, be it by violence or by vote. I am firmly convinced that you will not be needed by Ethiopia, afterwards, except as a simple citizen living on the sweat of his toil and not on his biting tongue.
