Meles Zenawi’s forces are savagely beating and torturing students in the town of Ambo, western Ethiopia. Some have lost consciousness from the beatings and torture by the heavily armed police and troops who are under the direct command of Meles Zenawi. The money that is used to arm and train these fascist troops comes from the U.S. and British governments.

Over 50 army troops who witnessed the savage beatings and torture of students in Ambo left their command in protest, according to eyewitnesses. A reliable source confirmed this news to Ethiopian Review. Five of the soldiers disappeared with their weapons.
