berhanunegatoannounce.jpgMay 9th, 2008– Addis Ababa Mayor-Elect Dr Berhanu Nega and colleagues are preparing to make a major announcement next Wednesday in Washington DC, about their future political move. They have scheduled a press conference at the Ethiopian Television Network’s studio on May 14 at 4:00 PM (EST). All Ethiopian and other media are invited to the press conference.

According to sources close to Dr Berhanu, the group will announce the formation of a new political movement that will aim to bring about an end to the Woyanne bloody regime in collaboration with other Ethiopian organizations, including those that are waging armed struggle.

The press conference will be aired live via Ethiopian Review Radio Network, Ethiopian Current Affair Discussion Forum, and other media.

VOA, DW, EriTV, Addis Dimts and other radio programs are also expected to air the press conference to their audience in Ethiopia.

      To All Ethiopians:

      This it not the time to focus on personal party loyalty or arguing behind the political labeling “I am pro-peaceful struggle” or “I am pro- armed struggle. We Ethiopians don’t have the luxury to pick and choose which type of struggle we shall vote for while Our Citizens are Suffering, Our National Heritage is being sold as a souvenir and the land our fathers passed on to this generation is being given to Sudan as a gift by the Woyane regime

      This is the time to say:
      I am Ethiopian and I am angry
      I am Ethiopian and I shall stand for my country
      I am Ethiopian and I will fight tyranny by any means necessary to defend our Motherland and our people from TPLF dictatorial regime once and for all.

      Dear Doctor Berhanu:
      You are a true son of Ethiopia, a true intellectual who gave up everything to liberate his people from the yoke of TPLF tyranny. Despite the endless name calling by Woyane cadres and egotistical political clowns who have failed to produce anything, you risen above all that and have become a shining fellow countryman.

      Dear Dr. Berhanu:
      We are the sons and daughters of
      Meysaw Kasa (Yequaraw Anbesa)
      Alula Abanega
      Abdisa Aga
      Zeraie dress
      Belaye Zeleke
      We are the children of those heros who defended the unity of our country with their life. We are the a brother and a sister of the thousands who perished under the Woyane regime

      We are with you !

      God Speed

      Good Job Dr Brihanu

    5. truth Says:

      This is exactly what i was wishing for some time now, ARMED STRUGGLE!!

      DR Birhanu and colleagues, pls put a lot of thought into how to organize the struggle in the most successful way possible. You need to address numerous uncertainities before the engagement. you also need to develope and employee systematic risk assessment plan.

      Its my hope that Ethiopians from all walks of life will give everything for this movement anyway, but we, the constituencies need to be consulted if the movement is to gain a momentem. I am eager to hear ur plan guys.

      God Bless Ethiopia!!!

    6. Dil Le Ethiopia Says:

      Hey Guys,

      Let’s be realistic. This is just euphoria. Nothing new here to get excited about. Hailu Goshu gave us same hope a while back but it turned out to be a hoax. Even if we need armed struggle, Dr. Berhanu and Endargachew are not the right people to go with ….a lot of not so good back ground …

      Watch out,

      Dil.

    7. DOCTOR PLUTO Says:

      Dear Dr. Nega and Associates,

      Here comes the pathogenesis (formation) of the kinijit party which was born pre-term. With the unforgettable and blood paying Ethiopian heroes, it had thrived to full term in an incubator. The pathophysiology (problem) of internal problem started because of the microcepahlly (poor thinking of all you members) that was the effect of it’s pre-maturity. But that baby (party) looked fine while it was taken into the world’s worst and abusive ICU (woyane’s kaliti confinement). And again through the relentless effort of the Ethiopian people, it was discharged without the intention of Woyanne doctors (cadres). To be re-admitted in the western world. Because of that permanent brain damage and microcephally (all your failure to accept and learn), it went to a coma to be found with three vital organ failures, which are different groups. The only hope is that we will try to save it by a matiching transplant which is 1 in a 1,000,000 chance of survival. The prognosis is less than 0% and we wish all the new parties well. KINIJIT is pronounced dead and some of them jhave filed a “wrongful death” claim. We will see you further disintegrating to Meskerem 2nd, Hamle 16th, Ginbot 20th so on and so forth memorials which are not more than anything aexcept Grave sites to remember the grateful dead. ER website was supposed to wear in total black because of death of KINIJIT but it is found pregnant to give birth to another baby (party) because it has no tears to cry and/or dry.

      Hai Pulto

      But Yet these people are trying something different here, so they are way better than u and ur likes u know. U spend most of ur time spying for woyane and dessiminating lies and hate, those guys try sth different out. I cant count on the success of their trial but they are trying to come up with sth that can help my people.

      I dont think u have a moral ground to criticize them:

      While they are part of the solution, u are definetly part of the problem!!!

      While there is a chance that they may fail or lose, but u and ur likes are born losers!!!!

      While they are optimistic and pragmatic, u and ur likes are blind pessimists and problematic!!!!

      So u are exposing urself as a typical lowlife woyane hate monger.

      An otherthing what has ER and Kinjit got to do with the issue at hand. For a person who has healthy and well functioning brain, both ER and Kinijit got nothing to do with Dr berhanu and Andargachew, they have officially announced their withdrawl from kinjit.
      But here i want to say sth, its is a typical WOYANE-TIGRAY TACTIC TO LABEL ETHIOPIANS THAT ARE A POTENTIAL THREAT TO WOYANE AS KINJIT!! We are already used to that tactic so dont waste ur time, loser!!

      come on guys, either shut ur mouth or go back to ethiopia 2 do something.

    12. Teferi Says:

      It would have been best to transmit directly via satelite to ethiopia. Why cant ETN do that? If it is financial problem, why dont you ask ethiopians to contribute? Kinijt collected hundreds of thousand just fw months ago. youcant us ethis money for that? Even Eritrea TV has satelite program straight to ethiopia. The main struggle is in ethiopia ! not in DC.

      The almighty god will be with the peace loving people of Ethiopa.Tyranny and brutal dictatorship have no space in the country we love. We the son and daughter of Ethiopia have the obligation to defened the teritorial intergrity of our mother land and the rule of law.
      woyane dosen’t represent the seventy million of Ethiopian rather they’re agent of the outside world determine to we go to ashes. Their aim from the start were to abolish our pride and work for the greater Tigray. though we don’t asssume all woyanes are Tigre, we call up on the people of Tigray to isolate these gangester and bring them to justice.
      We love Ethiopia and we’re determine to ptotect it.
      we’ll previal!

    16. Kayle Says:

      My fellow Ethiopians, our existence as a nation raises a serious question first Woyane said Ertrea was colonized by ethiopia therefore must split from the mother land and woyane gave away Ertrea with out a single signed document. The next agenda was Bademe, over 70.000 ethiopians died eventhough came out victorios, what happened there was sell out again. Now another part of the country deliverd to Sudan to deny any access to any rebel group coming to hunt Melse. I strongly belive in armed struggle so that our country will be librated from tyrants and dicators once for all. Brhanu, majority of the people are with you I also will be behind you

      GOD BLEES ETHIOPIOA

    17. Arbaminch Says:

      Now is the time, where all Ethiopian progressive forces should unite to defeat the common enemy the Agaazi Tribal Council. The good doctor has to think outside the box and must have alliances with the progressive forces in the region.

      The old medivial way of thinking should give way to the new way of thinking. A unified, democratic and progressive Ethiopia should be the prize. This could herald a new era in Ethiopia. May be this time Ethiopia could play a constructive role in the region.

      A word of caution, if the old tantrums regarding Eritrea,Somalia, the Ogaden, the Sudan and the Red Sea are on the offering, then by no means please stop it. We have enough opportunists playing with our emotions for so long. They are after their own personal political and financialm gains.

      It didn’t down on most Ethiopians yet, but talking to the Eritrean leadership should be the first order of buissness. The bold step will send the Dedebit Mafia into a tail spin and into the nut house at Amanuel hospital. The meeting of Issias with the Ethiopian progressive forces would signal the defeat of the Woyanne political agenda and will hasten heir demise. He created them and eventually he will destroy them, but there has to be a cedible force to fill the power vaccum. This is the Woyannes worst nightmare.

      I know Melles,Abbay and Seeye in the field as a bunch of cowards and I sure that they are wetting their pants as we speak.

      Dr. Berhanu is struggling for democracy more than 30 years.

      God bless Dr. Berhanu !!!

      “We Ethiopians are dreaming to BIG, but doing very LITTLE”, he said in Vancour, BC meeting. He is right.

      We Ethiopians must ask our self that what we did for mother Ethiopia?

      If our answer is “let others secrify themsleves and when Ethiopia is free from Woyane, then I can enjoy deomcracy”. This will be the wrong and dangerous answer.

      ===============

      What is the excitment for - for you and many other self made poltical experts in this forum?

      As prof. Mesfen w/m said this is a pure thirst for power. Was he not touring the US with 5 delegates to collect money and make many speeches in the name of Kinijit?

      Why create a party 11000 miles away from Ethiopia in the US? The battle front and the action is in Ethiopia not here.

      If you guys have the money to burn and a time to waste then go applaud for him. But with Dr. Nega you are wasting your money & time.

      Dr. Nega created Keste Damena just 4 years ago in the aim of controlling the other big parties. He almost succeeded but then when he find out like that of a Hyena who can not take a meat out of a Lion jaw he destroyed Kinijit.

      Diaspora please be rationale.

      Yohannes,
      What are we to do just wait for woyane to give us permission to struggle? permission to give us a party name? permission to speak? permission to demonstrate? permission to write? do you think they will ever permit you to do any of the above inside the country? think again sir.

    27. Dil Le Ethiopia Says:

      EMF deleted my earlier comment which states that Dr. Berhanu went back to Ethiopia and joined AAU the same year 42 AAU professors were expelled including Prof. Asrat and Fekade Shewakena….

      Fekadeshowakena is a very good friend to Dr. Berhanu and they work together in this struggle against Woyane. a lot of Ethiopian students could tell you how much good he has done while at the university including galvonizing a movement.The guy had a rela desire to contribute to his country and he did and he still is.Some will be sitting and talking while doing nothing except criticizing.

    31. Berhe Says:

      Dr. Berhanu spoke in Seattle. His speak is great.

      He remind us MAY 15/ Ginbot 7.

      Ginbot 7 has BIG menaing in Ethiopian democracy. The winner (Kinijit) went to jail, the loser went Menelik palas and children killed by sniper shooter in Addis Ababa.

      Now Legese Zenawi want to weaken and weaken Ethiopia. Gondar border (1050 kmX30 km) is given to Sudan. This is the question souvernity.

    32. HABESH Says:

      I understand why my comments are awaiting moderation for two days ? is it because I am telling the truth? let me add something I didn’t write last time . I want everyone to remeber the old Ethiopian saying ” gulcha bilewet wet ayetafitm” .change in the name of an organisation is not change in the attitude .It is the change of attitude by the people who are in the organisation that makes it different. An organisation run by berhanu always remain an organisation run by a megalomania. a person who tries to compare himself to Mandela while reneging on the people. In politics when people tend to see themselves as the only one, as a messiah we have to be suspicious, these are signs something is wrong. It is not forming a party, naming or renaming it that makes a change, it is listening to “the heartbeat of the people” and recognizing ethiopia is not part Seatle or London .

    33. arg Says:
