  1. President Girma is careless as the Weyane provides him
    raw meat and Tej as he is sitting in office and conducts their business.
    He makes the palace Tej Bet.
    The government is so incompetent that they elected such a
    worthless retiree to conduct their business.
    What a Shame!

  2. Note to ER:
    I think the constitution allows the ceremonial president to be elected upto two terms. The prime minister has no term limit (can stay in power as long as he likes).

    I don’t think your comment is correct.

  3. Drama needs an actor even when it is a comedy!

    Girma is a good comedy character he can’t move much,he can’t stand for 5 min and he thinks woyane house is a church.

  4. Thanks that Woyanne has not elected Pr. Beyene Petros ( the opposition leader). U know that Meles ( the crooked one ) might have used it for international diplomacy. Don’t worry about the big donkey it has no power….

  5. EPDRF Break the Ethiopian Constitution and elected Girma Wolde Giorgis as a president for the next six years. According to the Ethiopian constitution, the president should be a member of the council (should be elected from the members of the council). Although, Girma was a member of the ex- council, he is not the member of the current council. He has not elected by the people and he has no seat in the parlament, hence he can not be a president.

  6. Congratulations President Girma Woldegiorgis!

    Personally this is excellent news as I expect every useless TPLF officials shall be held accountable while he/she is in power for the suffering of our people for the past 17 years

    I must say that, I am deeply “impressed” with President Germa’s academic achievements stated during his reappointment ceremony speech at the parliament. Thus-Certificates in Management (from Holland), in Air Traffic Management (in Sweden) and Air Traffic Control (in Canada). Well! Well! I had not clue that it takes a few certificates from 45 years back in air traffic control to be elected as a president. May be I have failed to understand that, all economic and social injustice problems in Ethiopia is directly attributed to the lack of certified air-traffic controllers or the flow of airplanes in & out of the country.

    The second most fascinating talent of the reelected president is, President Girma speaks many
    Languages fluently. They are: Afan Oromo (Oromiffa), Amharic, Tigrinya, Italian, English and French. Amazing Grace ! For a man who speaks such diverse languages yet, repeatedly failed to speak against the TPLF tyrant regime on behalf of millions of voiceless Ethiopians thus comprised of multi ethnicities.

    In conclusion, I “commend” the TPLF regime for their brave move to reappoint an 82 year old dysfunctional human being who can easily be monitored and given command by Woyane remote-contorl. This validates that, an 82 year old man who is on wheelchair and on the verge of loosing his memory each day is more suited to manipulate and be used as a puppet so that the tyrant TPLF regime could continue oppressing the Ethiopian people for years to come.

    Ayeee Hagere Ethiopian Sentun Gud Ayesh!

  7. Please forward my congratulation to EPRP’s one wing chair man Iyassu alemayehu.

God save ethiopia from such a conscienceless ppl. amen

  8. The Weyane/TPLF regime never abide by law and regulation when they want they can change what ever law is in the book as they have no respect for the rule of law.The weyanes and their master wodi Zenawi appointed the old man to the presidencey what a jocke they do all this to decit the world “aye weyanes min gudoch nachu”

  9. Nothing is funny as this!!I think all the pps were laughing
    inside during the voting. He could have really refused not to take the presidency and make some contribution to the country at least at this final hours of his life. Hodammmmmmmmmmmmmm shimagleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
