All artists who defected last month in the USA have performed on Friday at ESFNA’s Ethiopian Day. The artists have been touring the U.S. with the Ethiopian Minister of Culture and Tourism, W/o. Tadelech Dalacho, have defected and are now seeking political asylum in USA. The artists came from Ethiopian National Theater to perform cultural show in US states where the exiled LUCY is located. The minister, who was leading the group, had to go back to Ethiopia alone.
The stadium was overcrowded yesterday with colorful Ethiopians. Many were wearing a green-yellow-red decorated clothes. 
There was no single Woyane flag seen in the stadium, at the podium or at the booth. This shows no single person recognizes the new woyane flag. The annual event that was boycotted by Thousands, as reported by Alysia Patterson, Medill Reports [Watch the video], has shown a significant change on Friday after ESFNA’s press conference and subsequent positive reports by the media on corrective measures.

Oh my, the Press fell for ESFNA hodams total lies. Alamoudi’s picture is still gracing their website and worst of all they even made money of off you last night. A SUCKER IS BORN EVERY MINUTE and all of you have been taken for a ride.
These guys are corrupt asamas from head to toe and they will be laughing all the way to the bank come Monday morning. Disgusting, despicable bandas, foot soldiers and woyane boot lickers!!! The IRS
will be alerted to investigate this non profit 501 (c) 3 organization that has been ripping Ethiopians year after year. And there is nothing the IRS likes than to make an example of petty criminals enriching themselves by
hiding behind non profits.

I was at Majet resturant yesterday evening (11:30pm). It was so crowded, u had to wait may be 20min or more to get seated. Luckily we found 3 seat for me and two of my friends. We orderd 50/50 (half raw meat/ half tibis)and Bombolino (Tibis) with some cold beer. We were so hungry but at same time we were so happy to see so many Ethiopian sisters and brothers who have come for ESFNA 2008. We ate so fast because we wanted to give the table for the next costumer. Anyway we asked for the bill and we were all shocked with what we had seen. They charged us $25 and $24 for the above two dishes, respectively. we were so outraged by that. We didn’t know that they increased the price just for ESFNA. I mean why in the hell they need to increase the price in the first place especially that high? If they increased it you have to let the customer know when the make the order. We are not new to the place and we know what to order, may be it is written on the menu but we didn’t need the menu to order our food.
In a case i just what to ask whoever reads my comment what is the justification to increase the price of the dishes? For me it is simply a ripoff!!
For my fellow brother and sister if you happen to be in any EthioResurant this days check first the price before you order.
have a nice weekend

Why should we oromos be forced to learn and speak amaras minority language (Amharic) within our own territories and regions ? ? Is`t that what we call cultural oppression and cultural colonization ?
If there ought to be lasting peace and democracy in Ethiopia, “Ethiopias national language should immediatelly be democratized, and be changed from Amara minority language (Amharic) to ethiopias Majority (Afaan oromoffiaa).”

Medaksa,
Does ‘Democracy’ gives an absolute right to “Majority” ?
or are you suggesting that Ethiopia should hold referndum on the official language ?
July 6th, 2008 at 10:37 am
Mr/ms Medeksa,
Eventhough i prefer amharic, but since oromos represent majority, oromos have the last say to determine whioch language to be the official language of Ethiopias, Now the question is Will the Amharas accept Democracy and Majority rule ? or will Amharas revolt agnist Ethiopias Majority (oromos) in protest ?

The Ethiopian Proverb fits well with TPLF”Yamenga meslot kekotu arach”
The event was a succes. Check before and after boycot attandants. The ego of Sheik pedophile couldnt take it they have to put it back. We made a point to our beloved people in Ethiopia. He plays with 14 yrs old girls in Ethiopia in the watch of TPLF and want to thank him, why not put Meles’s picture on the stadium ,the are the same ,perverts. From now on you,EX-ESFNA, will have plenty of time for yourselves so can keep taking it from the back by the Shiek at his convienence. Ginbot 7 rules.

Come on guys:) People like me went to Friday because most of us could not make the trip before Friday [because of work etc]… Obviously “Alysia Patterson’s” report is a misleading.
Ethiopians are not stupid. Do not treat us like one. You are simply discrediting yourself. We Ethiopians are hungry for well thought out arguments and reports.
