Wives of Ethiopia coup suspects are targeted

May 25th, 2009 |  |  8 Comments

General Teferra Mammo, one of the 41 detainees accused of plotting coup against the tribal regime in Ethiopia

ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA — Ethiopian Review has learned that wives of the alleged coup suspects have not been spared.

Wzr. Nigisti Fasil, the wife of Colonel Amare Alebel, who is currently in hiding, is among the 41 detainees. The wife and 2-year-old daughter of Shaleqa (Major) Adugna Alemayehu were detained for two weeks.

The wife of Colonel Demissew Anteneh, who was brought from Harar, has been spared, but today for the sixth time she was forced to return to Harar without visiting her husband.

It is feared that some of the officers have been brutally tortured by the British-trained and -financed Woyanne secret police. Their lawyers are not allowed to visit them, and even today inside the court, the lawyers were unable to attend the hearing.

The 41 detainees are thrown in jail accused of being a part of assassination plots by Ginbot 7 Movement for Justice and Freedom.

The detainees include Ato Tsige Habtemariam, an 80-year-old father of Ginbot 7 Secretary General Andargachew Tsige.

    The tyrant keeps on terrorizing and killing Ethiopians and even does not spare Tigreans and Adwans it is a matter of time. Unite and say not to all forms of injustice and do not wait until this injustice knocks at your door.

    Imagine they are trained and financed by British. Look these people what they are doing. They are alsways behind our problem. You guys start to fight them first and then you will get Woyane soon. They know all things going on in ethiopia and africa and do it purposely. If there is another leader he will do the same because they are the one who manupulate things. That is why all africa have the same problems. the root cause are USA and European.
    let try to tackle them.
    That is the only solution

    Weyane is hanging by a puppet string & will soon be torn apart, smashing ashker-Meles to pieces.
    Take for instance the report in the people & power program on the devastation of Koka hayq so that a british leather processing firm can reap profit at the expense of the poor in Ethiopia & the environment. Reg Hankey, CEO of the leather company, is a close associate & alumni of Tony Blair. Blame not only the CEO & those government who give them the political & diplomatic cover but also their ‘CHULLOs’ like Sesi-Seko of DRC & Meles of weyane who facilitated for them in the same way the chiefs in west africa facilitated the evil slave trading so that the poor are traffiked & brutally slaved to death abroad. It’s de ja vu all over again except that the slavery is so stealth that it’s happening @ home, thanks to their modern day cheif or home-slaves like Meles the ‘CHULLO’.

    Meles is nothing but a loyal ‘Chullo’
    The noose is getting tighter by the day around the chullo’s scruffy(Quwaqucham) neck.
