January 29th, 2009 |  |  10 Comments

The puppet president of the Oromiya Region of Ethiopia, Ato Aba Dula Gemeda, earlier this month donated his huge villa to his party, the Oromo People’s Democratic Organizaton (OPDO). (Read here) The following excerpt from Tesfaye Gebreab‘s just published tell-all book sheds some light on Aba Dula’s decision.

    First the so called name Aba Dula Gamada is not his real name, in Oromo culture “Aba Dula”is a title, not a name. It means in Amharic “Azmach” the leader of worriorers. Here it is a fake name which the TPLF give him in order to cheat the OROMO people.But the OROMOS know this guy from his breath time. This villa is nothing than a piece of cake comparing with millions of money which he and his co-friends have stolen from OROMIA REGION’s buget. Sadly, the poor Oromo peasants are feeding this unsatiyed hynas belly by paying tax, when they and their childer go empty stomach and naked buttocks.

    Aba Dula Gemeda(Minase Woldegiorgis)is a tigre by birth. That is why the chameleon Meles said: We do not want to annoy him, since the fake OPDO was formed at the Tigrai soil. It has nothing to do with Oromo Organization.
    I wonder upto now how the former President Dr. Negasso Gidada had involved himself to this fake group.

    Hellow There,

    This ignorant creature who calls himself aba dula has nothing to do with the oromos. He is stupid and idiot tigre.His real name as some one here said is menassie woldegiorgis. He is originally tigre like most of those serving the tplf.

    He is not the only one there are a lot of them in the so called opdo who are dominated by tigres.

    What soever this ignorant creature has no relation with the genuine Ethiopian Oromos, who love their mother land Ethiopia.

    Lelis, don’t be foolish, Meles never scared of any body, a person who has a “shame” is so intelligent and respectable in the society, and don’t forget from meles’s culture, there is a saying ” ke meles ena kezemedochu ke afachew kilet kejorowachew loti aytefam” I don’t mean the whole society but him and his groups are those kind of people. may be you are one of them.

    Abadula is an Oromo-speaking-Tigrian, appointed by Meles Zenawi to help him exicute the agenda he has for the destruction of the Oromo people. The villa is not his any way. He has not earned it. Leave alone that, all the tall buildings, factories etc. mushrooming these days allover Tigray belong to the Oromo people. Those are properties the Oromo people are looted at gun point by armed robbers of Tigray origin. Do not be surprised by what Abadula did voluntarily.

    Thanks Zelalem for telling us what “Aba Dulla” stands for. Most of us know what it means. Woyannes may think we do not know the meaning and by extensionn, we are cheated once and for all. The day we really find out who is cheated and who is not is fast approaching. Slowly, but surely Woyannes and Meles are being left absolutely naked. Good job Tesfay Gebre-ab, Elias and others. Keep it up.

    Giving the villa away is nothing for him as he and his supporter get millions of birr from selling a piece of land to naftegna-the case of Burayoo
