Why are we surprised by Hailu Shawel’s betrayal?

When Ethiopian Review published a series of articles 2 years ago about Hailu Shawel’s corruption and treachery, his supporters were up in arms. It took them 2 years to find out that this man is a pathological traitor.

It is sickening for many of his supporters to watch him shake the hands of a monstrous tyrant whose hands are socked with the blood of the likes of Shibre Desalegn, the people of Anuak, Ogaden, Somalia… just to mention some of Meles Zenawi’s victims.

Much has been said about Engineer Enjera Hailu by angry Ethiopians in the past few days following his cowardly act. So there is nothing new to add. Instead, let’s revisit what Ethiopian Review has been writing about him since 2007 when he first exposed himself as a double-tongued scoundrel:

* Hailu Shawel’s trail of betrayal
* Hailu Shawel’s family business thriving under Woyanne
* Hailu Shawel to face angry protestors in Washington
* Hailu Shawel gets a no confidence vote by Ethiopians in DC
* Hailu Shawel lies to Washington Post
