There are plenty of economic activities happening all over Ethiopia. Until the government gets a handle of the food crises in the areas affected by the drought, I will focus my attention on that matter and getting rid of your malaria infected bi-s exual dictator.

The following video is of the brutal Ethiopian Dictator Meles Zenawi's secret genocide in the Ogaden. Warning, the video is very distrubing - Tyrant Zenawi must go!



































































On a recent trip to the Amhara region, some young men asked me and my friends about our travels in Ethiopia. They were extremely friendly to us until we said that we were not really backpackers, but that we live in Mekelle, at which point one of the men spat on our vehicle and all but one walked off in disgust, yelling that they hate people from Tigrai.Our group was made up entirely of white people and this conversation was being held in English. It goes without saying that we could not possibly be from Tigrai, but so great was their hatred of the Tigraian politicians that the mere fact that we live in Mekelle was enough to taint us. One calmer man stayed to speak to us and told us that in order to be safe and have a better time when we travel, we should tell people, “The Ethiopian government made me work in Mekelle. Of course I never wanted to live in Tigrai.”

During the commemoration of the 2005 Ethiopian election in DC, Dr. Gregory Stanton, President of Genocide Watch warned the people of Tigray; ultimately the people of Tigray will end up paying the price for the crimes the genocidal Meles regime is perpetrating. He stated “My job is to identify trends that could cause genocides and what I am witnessing in Ethiopia is a great deal of concern for the people of Tigray because the regime is committing these crimes in their names.”

Name: Kowsar Yusuf Gud’Ade Age: 23 Kowsar was arbitrarily detained by the Ethiopian army. In detention, she was severely beaten and tortured. The soldiers used different methods of torture including electrocution. Kowsar’s left arm was broken during one of the many beating sessions. Kowsar begged for mercy and asked for medical attention, but the army denied her any treatment. She was eventually released. No explanation was given for the arrest or the subsequent release. Kowsar sought treatment for her injuries. As shown in the picture above, the injury was severe and the damage could not be reversed as the treatment facilities in the ****** are not equipped to deal with such severe injuries. She fled the region shortly after her release. Kowsar is now in constant pain and has so far not received the proper medical attention.

This video shows ONLF freedom fighters documenting the dead bodies of 31 Ethiopian Ogaden citzens who were killed by Meles Zenawi forces. They start dancing to show respect to their dead citizens, a custom Ogaden tradition. The 31 men who were killed in this video were separated from the women and shot to death, while the women were raped, tortured, electrified, and incarcerated. Dictator Meles Zenawi needs to go to the Hague to stand trial for the world's largest ongoing genocide in the Ogaden!

Ethiopian set to buy four B777 freighters
Saturday, 03 September 2011

The Ethiopian Airlines is concluding a deal with the US aircraft manufacturer, Boeing, for the purchase of four state-of-the art Boeing 777 freighter aircraft.

A senior official of Ethiopian told The Reporter that the management of Ethiopian and executives of Boeing have been negotiating for almost a year for the purchase of the new aircraft. The official said the two parties will announce the deal soon.

A representative of Boeing has confirmed the new deal. The representative said the agreement will be signed in the coming few weeks. The growing demand for cargo flight services prompted Ethiopian to place orders for the new B777 jetliners. Recently Ethiopian signed a lease agreement with GECAS for two B777 aircraft to be delivered in September 2012. The lease agreement for the two B777 is ten years.

The B777 freighter aircraft has the capacity to haul 100 tons of cargo at a time. The catalogue price of the aircraft is 260 million dollars. Boeing will deliver the four aircraft after three years.

With six freighter aircraft (two B757-200F, two B747s and two MD 11s) Ethiopian has the largest cargo fleet in Africa. When the two leased B777 arrive, Ethiopian will sell one of the MD 11 it owns and return the other leased MD11. And when the first two B777 are delivered after three years Ethiopian will return the two leased B747s to Southern Air, the American leasing company.

In the 2010-2011 fiscal year, Ethiopian cargo traffic has grown by 20 percent to 160,000 tons when compared to the previous fiscal year. The growing horticulture and meat exports have significantly contributed to the surge in cargo traffic.

Mesfin Tasew, chief operating officer of Ethiopian, who made a presentation at the meeting, explained the growth the national flag carrier is registering. Mesfin was asked by participants if Ethiopian was receiving support from the Ethiopian government. Mesfin outrightly said that the airline does not get any financial support from the government. “Our government has priorities like schools, hospitals and other basic social services and does not have the luxury to invest in the airline. I want to stress this. We do not get a penny from the government. The airline generates revenue from its operations and invests in itself,” Mesfin said. Mesfin received a round of applause from the audience. The 17th Aviation and Allied business conference held at the Kilimanjaro Hotel Kembeski attracted more than 200 delegates.
