Please Ato Hailu, CUD has enough problems already. Either officialy resign or come back and solve your problem with the leaders. Supporters are tired of hearing CUD inside problems. I truley believe that CUD can benefit from your experience but not from stubornness. It is at least a party you went to prison for. I don’t think you went to prison for two years so you can disrupt it after release. You are true ethiopian, people love you and want your leadership. Why make us all sad spoil your good name.
Great humbleness from brilliant leader.This is for the sake ofshibre desalenge & hundreds that are martyred for kinjit.
Engineer yiqebelu.
Let Kinjit triumph.
I was very mcuh touched by Birtukan’s appeal. Engineer showel, please listen to Birtukan and do not refuse to be modest like a dinasausrs – you know what happened to that animal- It became extinct.
Although it is sad to see engineer showle position in the new kinijit, i think it is not important to beg him stay with the people. if he can’t see the scarfice paid by the people of Ethiopia on that fateful day of June, then he is not worth of a postion that represent Ethiopia. one thing he has to remeber is we(ethiopians) are tired of leaders that put himself head of the people, and we are tired of opportunists who turn around and bite the very hand that did everything it can to grand him his freedom. so i say if he can’t be with people, then there are plenty of people who are cabale of leading the people and kinijit to more sucess and freedom.
We have and will try harder to convince him back with love and ethical kinijit principles, but the choice at the end remains on his hands…this is a choice between Ethiopian people and few corrupted friends, it is not a hard decision to make…Engineer Hailu, we are at almost at a point to move on…very sad!!!
Imagine if this man had been on power!!! where will Birhanu and Birtukan be? jail of course.
Now I can see why Lidetu did what he did. As a matter fact he is bold enough to tell him what Hailu really was.
>>> that was what Lidetu said, and it should have been a good wake up call.
Why are we so patient to Hailu anyway? is he that important? the guy is in poor health and bad direction its time for him to step down wit grace and be a member,he can call Nelson mandela and get some lesson.
I have been lately very critical against some of the unfortunate and embarrassing actions against Ato Hailu Shawel, the chairman of Kinijit. However since yesterday I am starting looking the matters from a different angle.
I have listened live his interview of Abyssinia radio. I presume the interview on this radio station is arranged to defend of the criticism that the chairman is only giving access to only one radio host , Merchaw’s radio, who has no idea what it means a politics of civility.
Ato Hailu said in his interview that no one contacted him to interview him. I kept trying calling the radio host to get a change to ask the chairman on simple question about the lawsuit against Canada Kinijit Supporters. The line was very busy. All of a sudden it was Ato Abebe Below of Addis Dimtse speaking. Ato Abebe explained that he tried many many times while the chairman was in Ethiopia and here in America. He said that he talked to Dr Gashu and Shaleka Yoseph to get access to the chairman. So contrary to what Ato Hailu said many tried to reach him.
So basically the chairman was “lying” in public over the radio. The reason I put the word “lying” in double quote is because I am not sure if the chairman is really lying. What if the people around him are controlling him and denying him access to the outside? What if Shaleka Yoseph and Dr Gashu are not telling him that Abebe Belew would like to interview him?
With the exchange on Abyssinia radio with Abebe Belew Ato Hailu promised that he will be interviewed Sunday September 23 on Addis Dimtse Radio. He gave his word in public.
However, Ato Hailu did not show up. He basically “broke his promise”. Again I am using double quotation. Why? Ato Hailu does not read much. Others are reading for him. Abebe Belew does not have his number. The agreement was for Abebe Belew to call the Abyssinia Radio Host. Then The Abyssinia Radio host will call his contact. If the latter is Dr Taye or Shaleka or Eng Mogues they might simply turn off the call of Abyssinia and Abebe Belew.
Dear fellow Ethiopians:
Yesterday I had a chance to have a discussion with someone who knows Ato Hailu. In our discussion I said:” lately Ato Hailu is lying a lot”. All of sudden this person stand up and told me to stop. “ HAILU may be rigid or not suitable for you young people; but Hailu is not a liar. I know him he has integrity. If you don’t want him, remove him, but I will not let you call him a liar”. This person is telling me about the old Hailu Shawel. However the Hailu Shawel that we have been hearing the last two weeks is not the old Hailu Shawel.
So I came to the following conclusion. THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT NORMAL AND THAT IS BEYOND ATO HAILU HIMSELF.
Here are some possibilities:
1. He may either be blackmailed and hold as a hostage. Some of his friends may know some secret and may be telling him that if he let them down they will take him down as well.
2. Because of his medical condition, he may not be stable. Some pills that he may be taking may affect some of his behaviors. He was in prison for more than 21 month. He is aging. All those factors may have contributed to the problem.
3. He may be totally controlled and denied access of information. For instance there is no way for him to read the latest statement from his friend and the speech of Judge Birtukan. Dr Taye and folks may not let him read or listen anything that they do not want him to know.
All in all I ask we have patience on Ato Hailu and go after,instead , on those who are around him. Mainly the Shaleka folks, Dr Taye and surely the groups that call themselves “EPRP”. Currently they are hiding behind Ato Hailu’s name. With Surgical attacks, we will knock down them saving Ato Hailu Shawel.
In this occasion I would like to share my appreciation to the other Kinijit delegation for their wisdom. When Ato Hailu is saying nasty stuff against them, they replied by telling him that “He is their leader”. I hope someone, somehow will sneak in the iron wall of Dr Taye and folks, and give Ato Hailu this information.
This the Hailu shawul saga is really touching my nerves these days. I used to give him much reverence in his leadership as well as his role in the fight against tyranny. These days,especially after lstening his interview on Mirchaw’s and tinsae radio, however, the glass is draining fast, as is of many of my compatriots. It would have been good had he made up his mind before it is too late for us to keep the last drop of our respect and trust for him. Otherwise,it will be him committing political sucide in the last times of his age. We Ethiopians have no time to be wasted in face of such immense tyranny. While seeing him excommunicating himself from the crew, avoiding any coomunication with the delegation and parroting the EPRPitis and Donqor Taye’s rediculous attack on the personality of some of the novel-minded CUD leaders, he still considers his action insignificant and begs us to give him time. No time Mr. Hailu Shawul. Sorry,you are too old to be my grand papa and I shouldn’t ever try to think to advice you, let alone shout at you, but, I am left with no choise as your actions are damaging my ambitions and Ethiopia’s interest. It is so ledriculous for you to let the EPRP criminals and the shaleka crooks drop their words on your mouth. I fely so much shame to hear you despising and rediculing the whole CUD people who have been around you for deciding to go on foreign trip “because they are excited about going abroad”..blah, blah. That is really paining. Time up sir!
It is sad that the Ethiopian politics has been reduced to such pathetic state. How can Birtukan, Berhanu and co. can stand for justice and democracy if they bow down and apologise every time they are bullied. Shame! Melese killed our brother and sisters, and yer Berhanu and co signed apology for crime that Meles and co comited.
Now Eng. Hailu broke all acceptable democratic principles of Kinijit to resort to bullying, and of course, once again it is Bertukan and Berhanu have to ask for mercy. If these guys cannot stand for their own democratic right, how can they claim to fight for our democratic right of millions. If these guys can not librate themselves from dictatorship and harassement how can they claim to stand for us. For heaven sake I am beginning to lose faith with such pathetic appeal. Shame. Everything has a price and if we are not prepared to pay the price then we should keep out politics.
The outcome of this appeal is absolute dictatorship and purging of “ring leaders like Berhanu Nega, Berhane Mewa and Andargachew Tege followed by Prof. Gizachew and Yakob who stood for CUD principles. This letter will be signed not by Eng. Hailu but either by Shaleka Yousef or Dr. Taye. Then Kinijit will learn the price of appeasement. I am ashamed of you guys and I regret supporting you to make those people embazeld our money- the shaleka clicks.
I agree with Girmas idea.There’s something fishy going on.So let’s be patient and give him a chance to came out from his shell or from where he is surrounded by a bunch of crooks.But i’m also afraid time is running out for CUD.There are so many things to be done,so many bumpy roads to be cleared.And let’s not forget the poor people in every corner of Ethiopia who are despearatly waiting to be FREE from woyanne.
I was just scanning through some comments from Y-tube that was created by organization like(EPRP/Shaleq/EDU group).
I’m sure this trash items was written by people we know 3 decade ago. They are Harvard graduated in character assassination. Why don’t you discuss the issue at hand? Why your Hailu refused to defend his position in public together with his colleague? Why don’t tell us the reasons he abandoned his chairmanship?
You can continue insulting my lady liberty but you will never own Ethiopia alone. Ethiopia belongs to all us, Oromo, Amara, and Tigre and so on. Only a person with political skill will lead.

Enough with Shawel. He is no more important. I think he is responsible for the whole vicious circle of events within CUD. Enough is enough.
I don’t like what Ato Hailu is doing lately. He just need to be behind as an advisor and let the young ones run the show.
Please Ato Hailu, CUD has enough problems already. Either officialy resign or come back and solve your problem with the leaders. Supporters are tired of hearing CUD inside problems.

I hope it is the right time to Hailu shawel to resign from his post because he is not fit to modern Politics .
Great humbleness from brilliant leader.This is for the sake ofshibre desalenge & hundreds that are martyred for kinjit.

What is wrong with this guy, Shawel?
He wants to lead the party by Kurfiya, like a baby?
