TPLF is sucking Ethiopian’s blood, not even Lucy is spared. The important thing is the media is following up on Woyane crime. Soon Woyane will surrnder. What are we going to do the many criminals who stole every thing in sight.

God save Ethiopia, Woyane will go down in shame

I’m from Seattle and I went to the exhibit. I actually went in large part because of the Ethiopian history portion; the palaeontology part sounded interesting, but when I heard that there more, I really decided to go. I enjoyed it quite a lot and I was glad I went.

It’s my impression that Mr. Kebede is wrong, more people knew about the exhibit than about most exhibits at the Science Centre, and it got more news coverage as well. I don’t know why it didn’t do as much business as they’d hoped, but I do think the weather was part of it – the city was shut down for weeks thanks to extremely unusual heavy snowfall. (We only had 35cm, but one of my friends had 120cm of snow and was trapped in his barn for four days.)

The worst of the snow came during the holiday season here, when school was out of session and people would normally visit shows like this, particularly with children. Some of my friends were involved with the protests against taking Lucy out of Ethiopia because of the potential danger to the fossils, but when they heard the exhibit was losing so much money, even they went to see it. (They enjoyed it, but they still think the tour – any tour – is too risky.)

Shame on you!!! TPLF, you were dreaming of making multi-million dollar out of Lucy. You shouldn’t have taken Lucy out of Ethiopia in the first place. Because you don’t care, you took our Lucy out of Ethiopia. However, you are going back home empty pocket. I know this is extremely frustrating, saddening and depressing for you. Who knows you might sell Lucy for money. You are enemy of ETHIOPIA.

Finally the Weyane government, who was hoping in making money did not go as planned. At one point, these group of terrorist were telling us that the Ethiopian history is only 100 years, and now they are calling the show as an Ethiopian, rather than an Afar.

what a wrong conclusion you have on the heritage of Ethiopia…every business in the name of Ethiopia should not be condemned like the above articles…I totally disagree about the title itself…please think sometimes that woyanne is a part of Ethiopia…whether they are dictator or not, we should not be blind for everything important for Ethiopia…Please continue the tour of Lucy even to Europe if we can get some profits as well as if we can pass how much Ethiopians are the beginning of the human race…

shalom!
