18 June 2008 — After some disruptions by Zenawi’s forces, in collaboration with Ato Hailu/Abayneh group, the Unity UDJ has held a successful meeting and elected the party’s executive body today, sources said. The meeting should have not been rescheduled for today without a direct involvement of the so-called elders led by prof. Ephrem Issak, a trend harshly criticized by some observers. The General Assembly has elected 60 council members and 15 more reserve members. The following are Executive Members we obtained so far. (Picture: Over 400 members of UDJ after forced to evacuate from imperial hotel. This costed them close to 400,000 Birr…)

I like both Ginbot 7 and Andinet party officials. The people in both mean buisness.Congratulations Birtukan you are my kind of woman, and the same goes to Engiener Gizachew and Dr. Hailu Araya, these people showed their calmness, collectdness, and steadfastness while they were visiting North America. We will be with you!!!!!!
June 18th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Birtukan Mideksa -A lioness that has no fear to walk in the land of TPLF wildebeest. In the history of Kinijit where many men failed to show courage a single female keeps on charging forward carrying the torch for her motherland that woman is Bertukan Mideksa.
To all UDJ leadership and supporters, toady not only your parents but your motherland and fellow countrymen are proud of you!
To all –Woyane and their cadres who are true enemies of Ethiopia, the shameless Hailu Shawl clan and diehard EPRPs who behind time and a political cancer for our country. Today you have witnessed what true Ethiopians can do for their country, I challenge you do same instead of your running your mouth on smear campaign
God Bless Ethiopia

ALONE THEY CANNOT DO IT; WITH US THEY CAN.

“Kinijit is dead”, “Kinijit is broken beyond repair”, “Kinijit is hopeless” some Diaspora pundits proclaimed. Well, today June 18, 2008, these so called pundits were proven to be wrong.
The Kinijit executives were incarcerated for two years. The name of Kinijit was illegally given to individuals. Some among the leaders acted inappropriately and damaged for a while the credibility of the organization.
In spite of all these facts, Kinijit executives picked up the pieces, slowly, methodically and with great wisdom brought all supporters of Kinijit together, re-organized the party and came out unified, more stronger, more civilized to bring democratic changes in Ethiopia. All these are being done under a new name Unity for Democracy and Justice, which is now an embodiment of KINIJIT. Today is a testimony that Kinijit is not dead, but an organization that came out stronger under the UDJ. Today is a testimony that the spirit of Kinijit now Andenet is alive and working.
“The Peaceful struggle is not working. The UDJ has to disband and let Ginbot 7 take the torch, What the UDJ is doing is begging the weyanes and living in slavery…” some alluded because they failed to have patience and weak that they easily give up.
Well, today, these people were proven dead wrong. The peaceful struggle is working and Ethiopians are peacefully organizing themselves in all regions, to build a free, democratic and UNITED Ethiopia.
Today there is a message for all Ethiopians all over the world, that persistence and determination pays off and that giving-up is not an option. Today we have crossed one giant step forward and therefore celebrate.
Tomorrow the next journey (possibly more difficult one) will start. We must all be ready to join our Ethiopian brothers and sisters who are currently not only talking but walking the walk.
Today is a clear indication that something real is taking place in Ethiopia. Let not those who may have ulterior motives, discourage and confuse us. Let us all be ready for the next step, to peacefully change Ethiopia to a better future.
We have brave democracy soldiers within Ethiopia from all corners of our society. They came from Addis Ababa, Gonder, Wellega, Tigray, Afar, Jijiga, Dembidollo, Assossa, Gore, Welkite, Dejen, Merhabete ….They are women and they are men. They are from the urban areas; they are also from rural Ethiopia. They are Christians; they are also Muslims. They are elders; they are also Youngs. Let us all join them in solidarity and let us together bring the resurrection of Ethiopia.
To conclude my message, I congratulate Judge Birtukan Mideksa, Eng Gizachew Shiferaw, Dr Yacob Woldemariam, Dr Hailu Araya and Ato Asrat Tasse for the trust they have received from the General Assembly. I hope and pray they give top priority on the main crisis Ethiopia is facing now (the plight of our starving people) and swiftly work with local non-governmental agencies to facilitate aid and fundraising events. What need to come first has to come first.
Being a leader is being a servant. As they commit themselves to serve the people, they need our support. Unless we all stand with them in solidarity they cannot do it alone.
TOGETHER WE CAN DO IT!
June 18th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
nuna thank u …u said it well. We support both UDJ and Ginbot7. Very articulate leaders in both. Viva UDJ we are with u. United we stand. God bless u all and be on your way…… GOD BLESS YOU

June 18th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
This is a very good news for many ethiopians in the diaspora and home, but very bad news for the cinical Elias (ER) and Hilu Shaowl group. lets support both UDJ and G7, and lets forget and boycot the distracter ethiopianreview.com (i am shure he will soon come aganist G7, too)

VIVA UDJ AND G7
June 19th, 2008 at 2:11 am
መቸም ቢሆን የሁላቸንም ምኞት ፍትህና ዲሞክራሲ የስፈነባት ኢትዮጵያ ማየት ነው:: ይህ እንድየት ይመጣል የሚለው ነው ትንሽ የሚያሞገተው:: የሁሉም ተሰፋ የነበረው ቅንጅት ባልታሰበ ሁነታ ተስነጣጠቀ:: This has brought hopelessness in most of the society. Now things are moving on all directions to create political party that stand firm and shade light on the broken hearts of all Ethiopians. We all support their ideas, commitment and vision they have to the future Ethiopia. That should be the criteria we need to evaluate the parties.
I think by now two parties with the same purpose and aim seems moving on the right direction to lead the Ethiopian to the dreamed vision. Wherever they are, how they did it does not matter. What matter should be for me is can they bring a change in the political struggle that the west entertained and we dreamed of.
The G7 has a positive thinking of mobilizing the whole Ethiopians irrespective of their differences. To me they are doing great job by bringing to the floor what is called healthy dialog between and aamong Ethiopians. If the society discusses its issue there is nothing which can not be solved.
The UDJ is locally registered and preferred to struggle in Ethiopia and hopefully they will do their level best to come up with strong organizational structure and rule of law among themselves and create modern political party that people should rely on it.
So, we should support both of them to fullfill our dream support each other and work together and bring change in a near future time.
May God be with all Ethiopian political parties that honestly dedicate themseleves for the true cause of the people. Amen.

This is a good beginning for Ethiopian politics. Well done, UDJ.
We are with you, go forward, may the Almighty God give you guidance and may He cover you with the Mighty Blood of Jesus in all your undertakings.
At least, the spirit of the people which was dampned by the demise of Kinijit is now revived.
Congratulations, once again, courageous compatriots.

Well done UDJ Party
I am realy happy with the effort of UDJ party has done so far via fire road and sew bela mengist(meles). I can understand how much struggle and difficulty you will face again in the future due to lack of democracy in Ethiopia.
I support UDJ and Ginbot 7 parties equally from my heart. I still have the sprit of Kinjit in my heart from both parites. These two paries founded to get democracy for Ethiopia via any means.
If we fail to support both parites we wont achive any thing or we will buy more time for woyane to kill our people and destroy Ethiopia.
Pls lets stop blaming these parties and stand beside them, they all suffered under woyane hand for our people and Ethiopia. This is a short time history. How can we forget and start blaming UDJ or Ginbot 7 parties, its very disappointed. Shame on US. I personally dont have any confidence to criticize these parties.
May God help us to unit and make us one heart to bring democracy for our country.
God bless Ethiopia
June 19th, 2008 at 6:39 am
Congratulation UDJP=Kinijit !!!!
I support both UDJP and Ginbot7… the right thing to do !!!
But I have something to say UDJP leaders must stop attacking the freedom fighters! I can’t see how UDJP going to secure the Ethiopian land which handed over to Sudan. heroic Ethiopians who are paying their life in the Ethio-Sudan border. Please please UDJP leaders stop insulting those who raised Arms! “ayamrbachehum”
Let Ethiopians fight by any means!
June 19th, 2008 at 8:24 am
Congra to UDJ and all Ethiopians support for Democracy and Justice
We made history. The first woman elected democraticaly in the long histroy of the 3000 yers land.
GO Birtukan! GO!
GO Birhanu GO!
I will support both. This is the only way we will remove of woyane
Bicott ER/Elias
He is more devicive and cluless

Congratulations to all the members.
We are with you.
June 19th, 2008 at 9:45 am
The formation of UDJ, I see it as a positive development, however, we have to be a bit careful not get very excited, because they have to prove that they are up to the job. The last three years have shown that Woyane is capable of doing everything bad to stop a genuine democracy prevailing in Ethiopia. The assessment of Ginbot7 is more realistic than anyone one of the groups functioning. It seems clear now that Kinijit is reduced to three groups. One has decided to go back to the dark age , the other one want to recycle the already tested political reality and the third one is trying to go forward at least with new initiative, reminding me the classical western film the Good the Bad and the Ugly, which one is which? well, i will leave it to the reader to make her/his mind. Finally I see all inclusive broad political platform a way forward to bit Woyane and ensure democracy and the rule of law.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Armed struggle is the only option left for us . But we also need to combine both the armed strugle and the peaceful one. Good news for Butukan but it is not enough. Armed struggle is my best wish. we will chase these thugs from our mother land ETHIOPIA. please Leave Mr Al mudi for me? I will take care off him when time comes.
It is true that the Shabian kit lashi/the shabians as…likcker Mr Elias/ his website( Ethiopian review) must be boycotted. He even is not an Ethiopian. He is an Ertrian banda who just like his forefathers lead/ showed the facist Italian the way to enter Adiis Ababa and made our forefathers be massacred. He is not an Ethiopian . we/ Ethiopians must take care of our own business. Let him write/ talk about the shabian matters for the Shabians/Eritreans.So, please boycotte this WONEBEDE / his Wonebede website.
Time to show who is the boss now.

WHY U JUMP ON ETHIO REVIEW.COM??? WHY NOT “WALTA.COM” AIGA…. THIS SHOWS WHO U REALY ARE?? CRITISIZING POLETICAL GTOUPS IS GOOD FOR THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY WE ALL K
WE WILL BRING CHANGE TO OUR COUNTRY TOGETHER WITH GINBOT 7
June 19th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Go girl we are following
Ethiopian Review is like once Reporter was in Ethiopia. They pretend to be very critical to Woyane/Shabia. They win large segment of readers through the news they are supplied by woyane/shabia.
But when the critical time comes they side to woyane/shabia. Reporter has done this immediately after 1997 EC election and it is still in print while almost all private presses are banned. Ethiopian Review is now disclosing itself at the formation of Andinet.
They think foolishly that all their readers would sway with them forever. They are inept to think that people see what is really on the ground.
To Hell with Woyane/Shabia.

Yes, UDJ’s birth is significant!
Kuchiye
June 19, 2008
In a country where abuse of power and gross incompetence surpass hitherto unseen proportions, it is crucially important Ethiopians get leadership of a resident political party that they can trust. The June 17, 2008 General Assembly of Andnet (UDJ) gave them exactly that.
Technically speaking, June 17 did not herald the birth of a brand new party - the whole world including EPRDF knows that. What it did is proclaim the re-birth of Kinijit, the renaissance of a popular movement that was cut short by the unwise and still paranoid tendencies of a government that is at odds even with its own interests.
Popular movements have this thing that unsettle tyrants, even more so when they are organized under the banner of peaceful struggle. Look, for example, at EPRDF who used the silliest pretext to disrupt the UDJ GA meeting of June 14. If its leaders had a semblance of wisdom or a shred of commitment for the advancement of democracy in Ethiopia, they would have stepped in and let the GA proceed scoring some points for the benefit of their international backers who they care very much about. EPRDF’s silly action gave us a couple of clues on its fears . One, it is afraid UDJ will fall into the popular embrace of Ethiopians once again. Two, it is uncomfortable with a viable opposition from inside which could turn into a pain in the neck. Three, there will be a revival of pressure on EPRDF from international donors as UDJ escalates its peaceful ways. Four, with the worsening economic and political situation in Ethiopia, the opposition will have compelling reason to work under a minimum platform and increase the pressure on the government.
EPRDF’s attempt at disrupting the GA also ended up further energizing the spirit of the assembly participants, unsettling the diplomatic community, angering the general population and exposing the vulnerability of a government that tries so hard to portray images of a macho man.
There is a certain truth that any action by EPRDF or the dictates of the international community will never change. Ethiopians are determined to see their fight for democracy and good governance succeed no matter what the cost is and no matter how long the journey takes.
UDJ will stay the course of peaceful struggle and conduct its program in a much more organized manner. It will work for lasting victory guided by well-considered short and long term goals. It will leave no stone unturned to bring about national consensus and national reconciliation. It will stay vigilant and fight threats that work against the unity and territorial integrity of the country.
UDJ will be by the side of the drought victim, by the displaced citizen, by the side of the young and the old that suffer from a justice system that fails to serve the interest of all Ethiopians. It will be by the side of Ethiopians anywhere and everywhere. It will organize the people under the hallowed banner of democracy, justice and national unity confident that the general population, its members and leaders are behind it.
Yes, UDJ’s rebirth is significant!

This is an other victory. we need to help the struggle onece again by showing our deterrmined support. To all readers we also need to fight Elias of the Ethiopian Review along with Meles and Esaias .No one doubt now he is an agent of the EPLF and has nothing to do with our cause, An Ethiopian cause. Please you better refrain meddling in our cause, you can serve your masters. It will not be far when your snaky toungue begins biting Dr. Birhanu whom you rever for the time being.He will be ashamed of you with what you posted today. If he didnt comment with what you wrote today, i would definately challenge him for being silelnt , when you irresponsibly insult his friends who still have the same objective regarding the country and its people.Sahame on you!!

To Girma Kassa,
You have to be very careful when you talk about peaceful struggle. Yes, we want to have a peaceful struggle when there is a freedom of speech, freedom of public meetings, freedom of writings, the rule of law, able to demonstrate against the dictator, etc. In the absence of all these, what alternatives you can suggest? Do we have to beg TPLF through Shemagele whenever Andenet to carry out certain activities. I do not blame the leaders for doing what they did to proceed with their meeting. If they had to resist, they knew that they would have been in prison for good. In my opinion, there must a better way to bring changes in Ethiopia. Maybe we have to revisit and read the history of South African struggle under the leadership of Nelson Mandela. It is worthhile to look carefully the role of African National Congress (ANC) during their struggle. It is very important that we have to stop antagonizing each other. Let us focus all our efforts to kick-out Meles and his Party by uniting all opposition organizations including even EPRP by all means necessary.

Can Birtukan ask for peacrful demonstration. She has many reasons to do it.
1, Sudan issue.
2, Famine
3, inflation
All this and Ogaden ,Somalia are very sensitive issues where people of Ethiopia want show their anger and frustration to the world. That will be her test showing TPLF to the world and motivating people of Ethiopia for change. Will that happen.Dont waste your energy on her.TPLF must be out of their mind to let do her job and i assure you if she is not sold out to TPLF, she is brain washed by US to believe things will improve. Imagine the number of people will show up if she calls for a meeting at Meskel Square. That will be enermouse!!!!!!!Will TPLF give a window of opportunity to Ethiopia people for this kind of inncident/ Never. They know the situation is boiling, any slip up will burn their face. The point is, she is playing against The people of Ethiopia. Look, The opposition who Ethiopians adore, Democraticly elected, “critical of the goverment TPLF” and female, Woww,,,,,,She is a poster lady for TPLF. You will be watching her in Western medias crying about her struggle. That will be the end of us, and we will be crying for long time with Birtukan. Get your klinex ready. She is a duck with her oldies friends. One question i have for all of you is,
what makes you think TPLF can compete with any other opposition not alone Kinijit. What is your reason ?Are they ready to share the power, How is these going to work. Bring US back in the table for forming coalition power, like Kenya. It is all calculated by TPLF and US, soon we will have coalition party. If we follow her, we are doomed. They know it, we Know it, the world knows it . Please dont play with your own head. Birtukan is a life support for TPLF.

Things in Ethiopia are becoming worest and the space for peacefull struggle is narrower. Peacefull struggle nees proper organazing and diciplined and commited leaders and followers. To become a strong party and challenge the current despotic regime does take a long time and efforts. The problem is if UDJ takes a simple step that seems challenging the regime, the Meles regime never tolerates. The regime has got a very good lesson during 2005 election and it is taking every steps to narrow any really opposition.
I appreciate the commitment of the leaders of the new party. But i am not convinced of their means of struggle to bring democracy to our beloved country.

yes we can!yes we can! yes we can! we’ll never give up!

“Yechenekew erguz yagebal” you all ethiopians are foolish? or what.for our country and peoples,the solution is not forming every time different parties or groups.it is honesty
vision,integrity love of the country etc.we have to be carful
before we jump into every groups.I for instance do not like
a party( gagata) i like to see geniune leaders with out their
selfish motive.I am sick and tired of ( lemetaw hulu machebcheb) g7,udj,what else,bunch belones.my country men walkup smell the shit………..

[…] inside their party. I still do not support whatever CUD stands for. But now I am in favor of UDJ. Should this party live up to its promises, I will be more than glad to cast my ballot for Judge […]
