Harare, - Exiled former Ethiopian strongman Mengistu Haile Mariam is believed to be living in the scenic Vumba area, south east of this eastern border city.

Sources told Radio VOP on Tuesday that Menguistu quietly Ieft Harare to settle in the Vumba area almost a year ago.

He lives a lavish but reclusive life in Zimbabwe amid fears over his safety. The former Marxist ruler fled his motherland in the early 1990’s after a then rebel group led by late Meles Zenawi overrun his Red Army.

Mengistu was tried and found guilty of genocide in absentia and was sentenced to life in prison in January 2007.

But Harare where he received sanctuary due to friendship with President Robert Mugabe, said it would not extradite him.

He was initially staying in GunHill, a low density suburb for rich Zimbabweans in the capital Harare, but there was an attempt at his life.

Some armed Eritreans sneaked into Zimbabwe and trekked him to GunHill where they shot at him but he escapsed unhurt.

His attackers were arrested and given lengthy jail terms.

Sources said Mengistu was now staying in the Vumba area, a popular tourist spot with his family.

They said he is under tight protection although he often frequents upmarket restaurants in the Vumba area such as Genaina.

Zimbabwean authorities have largely shielded him from the media since his arrival in May 1991.

In the very few interviews he has given Zimbabwean media Mengistu said he had no regrets about his rule and that he tried his best for Ethiopia. - Radio VOP

I was hoping he moved to South Sudan. Too close for comfort?

When are going to plead to the Arabs to free your enslaved Eritrean boys and girls living in Arab slavery? While you are in Arab chains, don't you have the courage to take or sue any Arab in any court of justice?

Roha,

Thank you for remind us. Ato Hawzen feels very sorry for the victims of Arabs and At Hawzen will definitely start to work on that assignment. I would appreciate if you can help me to identify who these boys and girls are so that we can reach them.

Dedebit is always dedebit.

GENA-INA?

I will say this for those dumbasses who feel uplifted when they put down others: you are a psychopath. No sober person should wishe the failure of a fellow human being. Why on earth would someone redicule less fortunate people. What kind of generation is this?

Roha & Hawzen are both shallow and hateful. They disgust me when they bet on the plight of others. Doro tirewan ale yagere sew. Instead of poking the wounds of your fellow huan being, why don't you inspire or advise me how I can pull myself out of misery & the pit of poverty? If you can't do that, I suspect that you are a useless lump of flesh, sucking the sweat of others and have nothing to offer. You are just a hot air ballon with a disgusting ego.

[Life is short],

You spoke the truth .Indeed, this is a very different generation.Look, God gave every one of us gifts so that we may humbly apply it to the good of our families and humanity.We witness now a diferent generation who are angry at themselves and foment hate to others. My friends be not ofended at my remarks,my object here is to get you see the bigger picture about life and the truth.In the brief moment I live in this planet ,by the grace of GOD, I come to discover.
No matter I might be convinced or persuaded my opinion,and ideas are not the standard or the TRUTH wher by ebvery thing is judged .Infact,I go far to say ,every thing that is printed by mankind is a mixiture of some facts and opinions,and not the truth.The truth is revealed only in one place the Bible,sadly a neglected Book by multituds of people.

God told us in his word before every thing else we must repent inorder to establish any fellow ship with him or before he begins to relieve our burdens in life.This is so because the LORD is HOLLY and will not have any fellowship with sinners.
The Bible clearly said God created humans without sin.

" So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."Genesis 1:27.

Again,

"Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions." Ecclesiastes.7:29.
According,to God's word sin came in to the world because of Adam's dis obediance.

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"Romans 5:12







The Bible said the following about all people every where.



" As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

Their feet are swift to shed blood:

Destruction and misery are in their ways:

And the way of peace have they not known:

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin."Romans:3:10-20


Then,God himself provided the free gift of salvation from sin,death,and the dominion of the devil for those who are willing to repent and receive his love gift.If God spoke about your condition whenyouread the above God's word then be sincer,show contrition about the sins you have commited and in your ownwords tell the LORD how sorry you are.And ask him to save your soul ,and believe if you do your part he will keep his promise.Here is his free love gift to all sinners who obey the commandments of GOD to repent.



"But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law."Romans.3:21-28

[Fanuel]
You hit the freaking nail on the head. The irony is that all these animosities and hostilities come form the very people that claim to be a Christian nation with thousands of years of civilization and rich culture. I have finally come to the conclusion that our plight and regression is due to the fact that we abuse God's name. I strongly believe that the Godless Gog & Magog are better than us in the face of God. We lie to Him every single day and claim we believe in Him. That is exactly what happened to the Israelities. God was very close to them and yet they ignored Him and knowingly worshipped idols. We will go through a lot of suffering in a way the israelities were tormented during slavery & 40 years of exodus.
Stay blessed

Mengistu needs to move to DC, where he has idiots commerades that would like him to lead them .....
