President Andrew Jackson was the most popular president among white males in the 1820s.He was one of the crulest as far as the native people were concerned.He removed millions of native Americans from their ancestral land and gave to his white European settlers.Andrew Jackson's decision to remove the Cherokee Indians from Gergia was one of the worest crimes of humanity on this planet.Our ancestors saved Ethiopia from this kind of day light robbery by fighting the white invaders during the same era.Now the foreigners got some one among us who can give them our land for free ,their dear leader,Andrew Meles.we hear only very few incidents about native resistence of the land grab because there is no free press to raise the issue ,however,what is going on around every corner of Ethiopia is a massive land transfer from native Ethiopian tribes to foreigners.

Azeb,

You are very kind to Meles. Andrew Jackson was a populist. He was very popular among his people. The white settlers were his very own people. He was cruel to the natives but who wasn't at the time. Meles is selling the future of the country . Andrew Jackson would never do that. Actually, aside his cruelty to Indians Andrew Jackson was the little man's president.

Peace

The comparison would have made more sense if Andrew Jackson was a native American Indian stealing land from his own people to give it to European settlers.

Exactly Andrew Jackson was very popular among his people ,so is Meles among his western donors and chinese corporations.As you know Meles is known in Ethiopia as a mercenary,nobody believe him he is an Ethiopian or works for the interest of Ethiopia.The west knows he is not elected by Ethiopians they still have no shame to invite him to speak in their countries.It seems that the west forced him to sign a secret agreement following the 2005 failed election to make sure he will sale the whole Ethiopia to corporations in return they will be quite what ever crime he comitted.

When appropriate time comes we will apply Zimbabwe's principles...not only Arabs, Indians, the Weyanes will be expelled from Ethiopia.

There were experience of Edi Amin and Haile Sellase, when they deported Indians and Arabs from Uganda and Ethiopia in the 1970s. So, one day, the Tigrains and also Indians and Arabs will face the same situation, and will be expelled from Ethiopia!

Haile Selasie deported Indians in the 70s? First time hearing it.

Yes, Arabs and Indians, and replaced them with Gurages. Do you remember words like "sambusa ... sambusa .. umuka basbusa..." in the main towns?

I don't know about the Indians but the Arabs got kicked out during Derg.
