Thousands of Ethiopian refugees in South Africa protested against genocidal dictator Meles Zenawi's planned visit and got him kicked out of the African summit.

Abebe is the Man !He inflicted the mother of all humiliation on the beggar dictator Zenawi!

Thank you revolution. Abebe is a great guy. he did his share and whatever he did is motivational. the rap, ringtone etc that is created out of this incident is viral now and i don't know who, but some faceless ethios have spread it so it reach the younger ethiopian audience on facebook and you-tube. that 8 seconds encounter had created a lot of awareness for the young ethios who are allergic to listening political events

I was just thinking today that it must have been very difficult moment for Abebe as he sat there right in front of the man who has forced him into exile, imprisoned hundreds of his colleagues and killed thousands of his countrymen, that he could not contain his rage when he heard him speak.

It appears to me that Abebe's sudden displays of anger towards Zenawi was a spontaneous reaction triggered by traumatic memories. No scripts; all pure emotions that all Ethiopians can relate to. It's a very inspirational story of an ordinary Ethiopian man whose extraordinary deeds forced a tyrant to bow down before him in humiliation. As the saying goes, "Heroes are made, not born." And I think Abebe, by his heroic actions, has become a hero in the eyes of all oppressed people in Africa.

So modest, so Ethiopian; the epitome of class and humility.

የተቻላችዉን ያህል እያታገሉ ነዉ

Overheard at the Geza Tegaru Paltalk room on Saturday:

"...Who cares if Abebe Gellaw insulted Ayte Meles Zenawi at the G8 summit, so long as the Prime Minister returned home carrying large amount of Santim (AID money)...."

It's these kind of beggars that are running Ethiopia into the ground
