Dallas,
You proved me wrong and made me a proud citizen. Now, show me the money.
I could not belive what I saw so meny happy Dallsisits croweded at American Terminal with beautiful flower girls and several young Ethiopians chanting HO BELEN METAN and
rushing to sheckhands and if possiable to give them a HUG
It makes my day bright and gave me courage that Ethiopia will be in good hands We pray for the unity of Kinijite.
Dallas folks,…yeeee that is amazing.I’m proud of all my citizen.All limousines lined up for our heroes like may 2005 election. I ‘d like to say “Thank you for such kind of respect” by the name of “Birtukan”. I’m expecting same way ( like u said nice to meet u with smile & also say nice meeting you) with big bundles of “Pounds” not dollars! So show me in practical. (The reason is i heard country ppl /COW BOYS/ are richer than ppl living in the city or “keteme”.) Lemanignawum yalewun yewerewerre firri ayibalimina! If u can’t bit DC, u must defeat Oakland. So show me that u stand beside “heroes”.
Ethiopians In Dallas you drove these moron EPRPs crazy, and will go wild when the leaders go to Seattle, Las Vegas… etc.
Elias, thank you so much for your contribution of giving your readers first hand information. God bless you. Keep up the good work.
Dallas show your fellow country men and women that you will beat Okland and Boston in this fund raising drive.CUD needs substantial financial contribution to defeat the brutal fascist regime of Zenawi.Elias,thank you for the on time information.The Woyane blind follower,I am sure ,are ashamed of their defeat by Ethiopian diaspora movement.By the way,Zenawi will not have easy stay in the coming couple of days here in Washington DC and will not gate a hero welcome accorded to Kiniji leaders.He is a mercinary sleeping in Menilik Palace.
Hi Kinijit,
To the dismay of woyane thugs, Kinijit is conquering the heart and minds of many people including its enemy.
Kinijit is a forward moving spiritual and political force. Woyane and its allies EPRP and the like are those who want to capitalize on hate, blood, theft, indecency and any satanic feeling of the devil whose kingdom is nearly to be subdued.
If you hear any hate and defamation, it is the curse word of our enemies and spit it out and don’t let it pass through your ears and brains.
Success to Kinjit and death to the enemiew of our people

Elias,
While your reporting is second to none it seems your emotion gets in a way. Take it easy. Everyone has every right to give an opinion and/or ask question. That is ok. I agree the delegates are wasting their time answering question about Hailu Shawl but that is nature of the beast. You have to accommodate those who have questions and those who have a different opinion than yours. I wish you luck dealing with that because it is not going to be an easy road.
With much respect,
Getachew
This is nothing but pure LOVE !!!!
I ca not wait to meet them again in Washington. I believe we did not raised enough money the last time they were here ,and lets do it again!
Dear Editor:
I read on your website referring to engineer Hailu Shawel as Emperor Hailu. That was a blow below the waist line for a person of your stature to use such a sarcastic, and demeaning name labeling. It shows your disdain for him and for what he stands for. Your negative statement is an attempt to goad him into showing himself how you described him. Unfortunately Ato Hailu has demonstrated himself beyond a shadow of doubt, that he is an experienced elder statesman who carried himself, and the Kinijit political organization with dignity and pride. Why do you have to complain and criticize those who are posing questions about him? Every one knows that there are lots of important things to be discussed about Kinijit’s future plans in order to wrest power from the current Ethiopian leader. How could you expect us to discuss about future plans, when we already have problems in our hands that need to be addressed not tomorrow but right now? Name calling and belittling Ato Hailu doesn’t solve problems. He is a super star, and a role model who is not afraid of speaking his mind. On the day they were released from prison he was the only person who told the media that they were coerced to sign their release paper. You have to show him respect, and give him credit for making Kinijit a political force to be reckoned with. I am an admirer of every member of the Kinijit party. They sacrificed their lives, and languished in prison for the betterment of the down trodden Ethiopians who had faith in them. Talking negative about any member of the Kinijit member would only exacerbate things and alienate them from getting the support they enjoyed in the past. There is a saying in the Western World, that “you can catch a myriad of flies with honey than with vinegar.” You have to apply the honey approach if you want to galvanize the people behind them, rather than the vinegar approach to provoke them to abandon the organization.

Girefachew
Shame on EPRP for campaigning against Kinijit delegates in Dallas. You are worst than Woyane. Shame on you.
EPRP? are they alive? what you are talkin about? they are dead rats.
To Ato Girefachew, above.
Granted Ato Hailu earned a respectble place in Ethiopian History. Never forget people don’t have right to endanger the future on account of accumulated political capital. Politics is about today and thereafter, it is not about living in the past. Like many in history, including our own history, people fail to comprehend the requirements of the time and fall by the wayside.
I wish Ato Hailu lives to enjoy the fruits of his contribution in Kinijit rather than engaging in self destructive activities at the behest of destructive forces like EPRP and and Shaleqaites.
Hope in, the train is accelerating!
Thanks
Dallas Dallas Dallas !
You made all Ethiopian around the world proud you proved EPRP morons the spirit of Kinijit is bigger than any lowlife EPRP propoganda
Dallas I salute you in the spirit of Kinijit
Long Live Ethiopia
Elias,
I have no words to thank you on the NEWS you are feeding us on the current events regarding the reception of Kinijit’s true leaders!! Thank you!
The few shaleka’s branch and the dead eprp are trying everything they can to foil the meetings but as you said it did not work for them. I know somebody here in Columbus,Ohio who is a fanatic supporter of aiga forum keeep saying we gonna mess up their meetings where ever they go!! He is dead wrong!!
Keep up the good work!!
Elias-
We drove from Houston to Dallas for about 4 hours to welcome our heroes. Some of us never went back to Ethiopia since we left home in early 80′. But we felt that as if we are landed in Bole. For the first time in our life, we come to see democratically elected Ethiopian leaders. We can not express the feeling, the excitement and the happiness we enjoyed.
Beyned the emotion, they demonstrated the ability to lead the country. During question and answers, our leader Bertukan and mayor Berhanu tackled critical issues raised from the audiences. The most experienced politician rarely makes good judgment. It is important to determine when a person is capable of leadership and eventually the natural leader will stand out. That leader is Bertukan Mideksa. This by no means not to take away what is said about others particularly mayor Berhanu Nega because he demonstrate the issues layer after layer that our country faces today. This is just to say leadership is usually natural phenomena. Engineer Gzachew, Dr. Array, and Bruke share the vital experience they had for years. The meeting lasted for 6 hours but we felt like we were there only for 2 hours. Abe (MC) gods bless you! You showed your honesty. Don’t worry some day you children’s will proud of you.
We still evaluating to fund raising strategy to do what we suppose to do for host leaders.
Just like you said we are tired of polices of personal destruction.

We in Canada are extremly thankful for your dedication and for providing us up-to-date information, regradless of the anachist EPRP’s propoganda. Together, we will and Ethiopia shall prevail.
Death to the rotten EPRP
I congratulate all for the success so far. We Ethiopians were hungry for a leadership with wisdom. Ato Hailu failed to show leadership at a critical point in kinijit’s history. I am glad the others stood up to the occasion. Shame on Ato Hailu Shawel for trying to make kinijit his own property and for taking his orders from a failed political party such as EPRP.
it has been proven time and again Kingit is the spirit of
freedom equality and love. it is like a beautiful garden with all kind of flowers bloosom in it. Our heroes are a sample of an array of those flowes. These leaders were able to gravitate multitudes in Genbot election.it was not a wishfull thinking. it was a universal fact. we love them
abundantly as it was seen in DC, Boston, NY, Okland and Dallas. Yet many more to see. These rotten EPRp never get it. Back off.
