      We can’t ask the aid funds flowing in millions to Ethioipia> Human Right Watch has came up with the answer. The EU/USA aid money are being used for arms to brutalize Ethiopians. The Bush administration is partly responsible for such crimes against Humanity.

      Oh My Oh My! It hurts.

    4. Aba Mecha Says:

      This is what The Meles Zenawi regime calls development, a 10% grouth in the last four years. Forget the west, they have failed us. Join hands to burry this brutal regime instead of children.

      we are tooooo weak to let europeans and americans give more money to kill our people. Meles said the military budget will increase by another 25%. That is to oppress ethiopians in all ways to keep quiet. what is berhanu Nega doing in europe ?? just meetings dont do anything!

      There is nothing new about starvation in ethiopia, Ethiopias entire history is all about poverity and mass starvation. The WEST encouraging war in Africaand among Africans by pumping up free Tanks,Guns and bullets to Africa,the WESt should do positive constribution to Africa by assisting serious hely,just like the marshal plan that is given to Europe.

      Kulak!!! Why are you blaming and insulting Eritreans by the misfortunes brought about by your brutal TPLF leader Meles and his gangs. Don’t bark at the wrong tree. Thanks to you and your likes who sang “Zeraf, Zeraf, Zeraf!!!” to the false promise he gave you into going to war with Eritrea, Meles has intensified his power and is acting recklessly. My heart and prayer goes to those he fell victim to this regime’s lack of care for its citizens. As for you Kulak, I advice you to think twice before you speak once. ENOUGH OF THIS ANEMOSITY AND HATERED. Kulak, I like to hear your response.

    13. Tariku Says:

      In modern time our people has no enough food and health care!!The so called the woyane talk every day about economic development and growth of Ethiopia which is not exist.When our people suffer every day ,starved and loss of their childrien that is Economic developiment for woyane.That is not painful for woyane because they under mine the society and want to lead by the mouth of gun.Does it work for woyane?
      No one can not win by mouth of gun .They have to learn from history if they know what history mean!!

    14. Ethiopiawi Says:

      This is sad:-( As a father of one little girl, I feel the paid so much. God, please give us your forgiveness. Let’s love one another. No more hatred among us and we can develop Emama Ethiopia. As for Meles and his gangs, let the mighty lord give you a good heart.

    15. Gambella Says:

      The Amaras dominated governments mismanaged and destroyed Ethiopias economics and social fabrics for the last 100+ years, now the burden is on Prime minster Meles zenawe to correct and fix all the mess the amaras dominated governments made for more than 100 years.

    16. Chala Says:

      Dear Gambella,

      All servants of the dictator like you must know this.
      Our struggle is against the regime you serve not against a whole set of people. It is NOT against the TIGRAYANS although Meles and much of his clique are from Tigray.It is NOT against the AMHARAS although we have historical issues which we have yet to find solutions for.

      We battle against the seventeen year old rotten dictatorship which you defend. That is our aim. Nothing deflects us from that aim. I assure you that your diversionary propaganda of making the Amhara as a bogeyman won’t help you much. Gone are the days of divide TO rule.
      You are so desperate, aren’t you?

    17. Gambella Says:

      The problem is, Kinijit can not make meaningful difference in Ethiopias politics. GOD FORBID, if Kinjit get elected by some error Ethiopia will go backward three hundred years, since Kinjit is not political party but Amara tribalism. In such condition civil war will be inevitable, since Kinjit attempt to return to amara hey days of Menilke and Haileselassie era.
