Ethiopian Review has been informed from sources close to Hailu Shawel’s family that he is critically ill in a Minneapolis hospital.

Ato Hailu’s condition has gotten worse since Monday, forcing the doctors to allow access to close family members only.

Two different sources told Ethiopian Review that the doctors said he feels better today, and that his condition is being stablized.

Ato Hailu was planning to travel to Washington DC this coming Saturday for a meeting, but it is postponed for the following week due to his health, according to EPRP sources.

  2. my prayers for Ato Hailu…

    Elias, I am impressed with how you approach politics these days. I can say that I never agreed with what you said in the past. But I am appreciative of what you and EZ are doing lately. Regardless of your differences, you guys are doing great. I suggest that you should educate the younger generation how it is like to have two different stances on something and still work for a common cause.

    Keep up the good job and God bless you.

  3. Thank you Elias for the information.

    It is sad to hear about this. We want him to get better and solve the problem of KINIJIT democratically as a leader and a father.

    I think we need to ask an important question here. He was not in critical condition in Ethiopia without any treatment. He even told us that his condition will be better in a month time at the airport. So, what makes him very ill while he is getting the treatment here. I don’t want think the worest but his families should be very careful of the Shaleqa and Taye gangs who were gurding him in Washington area. In addition his families should advice him to open his mind and heart to Ethiopians, not the gangs so that he will be released from his stress.

    I hope he will get better soon. Let God help him.

  5. Hi there,
    We had to do a big effort to save Hailu, instead we are engaed in unnecessary heresay.
    The shaleqa plotted to hijack and hide him to get legitimacy for his plot. Now Hailu is out of reach and they might have poisoned him before he comes to his senses and might die without a word to his supporters. You people are not cunning to see such plots.

  8. After I heard the appeal by dear Birtukan, A brilliant and conscious and cautious caring and loving leader, on whom our struggle centered, I was thinking the following
    1- Get back Our hero, Eng Hailu back into the people’s hand by any means.saving him from the so called ‘gangs’
    2- if he can’t read and is not given any access how we,the people, feel and say, we should make a kind of a demonstration close to the place where he is. and get him out of the gang’s shadow. Kinjit DC youth commite, whatever, you should do something visible than a promising word.

    If true that he is sick, I wish him quick recovery.

    It is not very easy to forget that he put not only his knowledge and material for the struggle but also even his life. Even when he is ill and old enough for dirty prison, he stood still for our rights and the rule of law in our country, Ethiopia.
    God bless ethiopia and the whole world

  10. I wish him all well and ful health and long life to see the good result and progress of his Country.

    He had been through hell and maby missleaded this days.what ever i Wish him well.

  12. i suspect he is held as a hostage by eprp. the where about and condition of engineer hailu source is eprp!!???. i would’nt be surprised if these thugs ask for ransome soon. eprp should not be ruled out for the transformation of ledetu to kehedetu too.

  13. Wow how come? Why do you think that happen this time?
    Guys if on Ato Hailu Shawol something happen, that I think comes from Shaleka group. To cause to cancel the money I believe they will do anything to him. As far as we see there is nothing to be against from other delegation. Even Ato Hailu he tried to disagree something he already agree with them. I think he was forcing him self to protect his friends (Shaleka group) more than his party. Ato Hailu after he said he will be here with the delegate how come all of the sudden he change his mind? Why did he say “Let us not to go to Diasporas now, Let us make it late?” I think Shaleka group invested that money and the money didn’t make enough as they expected it or waiting until expired date. That is why he tried to give excuse and make him hide till the maturity date. Or like I said before they will keep the money and they will give finger pointing on Hailu Shawol after he rest. We will see for what will come.

  15. Shenjutie,

    What do you mean “Hailu will come back to his senses soon, when he realizes CUD is people’s party” If you think this as part of your thrist for your political bruhaha, You are out of your mind and absurd. At least, you must learn to be compassionate. I seek God’s mercy for all human suffering. Let us appreciate our differences but not be subject to it.
