Ethiopian Review
Former chairman of Kinijit International Leadership Committee, Shaleqa Yoseph Yazew, has finally agreed to submit to the authority of the Committee. The Shaleqa and his cohorts reached this decision after receiving a stern warning and strict instructions from the top leaders of the Coalition for Unity & Democracy Party (Kinijit) who are currently languishing in Woyanne jail in Ethiopia.
Under the agreement they signed today, the gang of four (Shaleqa Yoseph Yazew, Dr Seyoum Solomon, Ato Moges Brook, and Dr Almaz Zewdie) have acknowledged that the Kinijit International Leadership Committee — which they had been trying to destroy for the past several months — is the legitimate representative of the jailed Kinijit leaders. They have also agreed that from today on they will abide by the decisions of Kinijit International.
Click here to read the statement that was issued today bearing the names of the parties to the agreement.
Democracy and rule of law has prevailed inside Kinijit. Ethiopian Review is proud to play some role in that. We will continue to keep an eagle eye on the Kinijit International Leadership to make sure that it carries out the wishes of the jailed leaders and the people who elected them.

This is a good news. Shaleka Yoseph and his friends did the right think.
The next setp will be for Shaleka to return the 250000$ he moved to another account and prepare all required documents for a complete financial audit.
Mistakes could have been made. But at least takng responsibility for the misatkes done is something.
Tazabi.
This is indeed very good news & a glimmer of hope for all freedom loving Ethiopians. We must now concentrate our energies to the real peaceful struggle for freedom & liberty. I appeal to the supporters of the “old factions” not to do anything that could in any way threaten this agreement.
Hurray!!!
Congratulation to all parties involved. This is the way to go! All of you are winners! There is no loser here! I hope all politcal parties(including the ruling party) would follow Kinjit’s footsteps and solve their differences in such manner. It is a milestone in Ethiopian politcal history.
It took this long for the theft to surrended (shaleqa Yoseph, dr.siyume Solomon (the most layer and divider of the organization) the third shrude master minded of the crime. They have been exposed in the day light everyday. Nowhere to run and no way to hide. They should could be convicted for the crime they commite instead of bringing them to the organization. I am so sad to work with the proven theft and criminals. Let see how long they last this time.
Every one makes mistake(s). But, but during the time our country is facing the worst enemies ever happened to her and they are still in the menilk palace having everything under their control, no even a little mistake from any healthy Ethiopian accepted.
Who killed atse Teodros? yohannes who signed agreement with British and took them to makdella and latter on became atse by himself with massacre and destruction.
Who was leading fascist Italy from Eritrea to Addis? Gugsa, the grand son of yohannes. And they in the name of Tigry became the ruler of Ethiopia responsible including the Addis Ababa massacre, more 13 thousands with in three days and 3/4 all intellectuals disappeared.
The TPLF 33 years crimes are enormous. They are saying openly: disrespecting and undermining the Ethiopian people that they are anti Ethiopians and they are happy about it. In every case they gets power, they took land from Gonder and wollo. During Yohannes, during their rule under Italian occupation and now under TPLF occupation of Ethiopia, their first move was/is taking as much as vast and fertile lands from other part of Ethiopia, make it part of Tigry and occupying it with the settlement policy as they are doing today in wolkite-Tekege, and other areas taken from Gonder and wollo.
Ethiopia is facing today these barbaric and inhuman creatures leading her to destruction. Yet, the so called Ethiopian children such as shaleqa yoseph and his group behaviour were serving these enemies until now. We hope and pray sick individuals like him and others get blessing and act as human rather than being like Solomon tekalgn who is a chronic layer, with a hypo body figure, hyena mentality thinking always about food and with a rat activity changing his direction every where very easily and quickly.
Ethiopia never faced such cruel enemies like TPLF and so called citizens such as the Solomon tekalgn likes in her History. Instead of isolating and punishing trash individuals like the hypo look like with hyena mentality, solomon, few of us are embracing them, while the rest we chose to ignore them. But we need to act humanly and totally isolate them from the Ethiopian Gora with bold approach including their rat followers.
Finally, shaleqa yoseph is healed from his sickness that was serving Ethiopian enemies. I hope the rest will learn from him and act the same way. Be united as one force to rescue Ethiopia from evils like Meles, Sebhat Nega, seyoum mesfin and the likes rather than acting like street children. Don
This is a great news for the oppresed people of Ethiopia. There is a good chance get together and get rid of the blood thirsty naza/fascist meles zenawi. The CUDP and other Ethiopian organzation should work to liberate Ethiopia by putting asside their petty differences. Ethiopia First should be their Motos.
After the liberation of Ethiopia all have the right to creat or bujild their political platform/party and the Ethiopian people has the sovereign right to elect.
TPLF muste be removed from the land of Ethiopia. The nazi/fascist zenawi shall be brought to justice for the crimes he committed against the Ethiopians and genocide.
Ethiopia shall be Free.
ER thanks,
KD
basically this is what we, The Ethiopian need ! discussion ,reconcilation and agreement to the better struggle to save our country.
i urge to any of Ethiopian not to say things which lead to threat the agreement. I know that the enemies of Ethiopia will not be happy.
Good bless Ethiopia
Dear Elias,
Here goes the title of your commentary.
1. Ethiopia: Kinijit splinter group agreed to abide by the leadership
Diaspora politicians need to listen tensae radio (24/05/07) right now at ethiomedia.com June 9. with, Gebremedhin Araya on TPLF’s Sebhat Nega. They can learn a lot from it if really they want.
This radio interview is a treasury worth billions. It is a dark historical document, the best weapon against woyane and the motivation to Ethiopian for struggle. It worth translation to more languages in order to let the world know about TPLF since their creation.
It more than any weapon to use fighting against woyane in the political field. we have to use the chance came to us just like this.
Please listen, invite or inform others to listen it. We need to create an organ under Diaspora kil, to translate all documents Sebhat Nega has said the last few days and weeks about, translate them well and if it is possible prepare them in a book format and distribute it all over the world among Ethiopians. I

Elias,
I really don’t like the way you presented the news. I see that you are committed to bring about changes in Ethiopia…You are putting more into this effort than many of us. But, you need too be able to control your emotions. You don
The news is great and refreshing. But the characterization of one as “gang” is not encourgaing and biased. Please refer from name calling in public if you stand as a mature personality.
It is good news to hear that the two factions have willingly signed a memorandum of understanding. From now on lets not capitalize on the wrongs committed so far. Concentrate on how to strengthen the unity and intensify the struggle against woyane.
Dear Elias,
I would have hoped that you would have been supportive of the effort to bring both parties together so that the struggle could move as one. However, you seem unhappy that it’s taking place. Ato Elias what is your
Agenda? What excatly are you up to? You seem to always thrive on the negative than looking for the possibilties. I am sorry you disappoint me. Postive critisim is one thing, but your out and out attack starting from your headline does not make one think that you would like to see reconciliation of anyone on any level.
Its Amazing that Elias has not yet grown up to control his tantrum. Instead of call gang this gang that Elias should spill his ink to writ about what the next move for Kinjt should be and how he could assist the struggle to go forward to dismantle entrenched woyanee. A sense of self-importance seems to blind Elias. Elias get a grip of your self. If you have personal vendettas do it in your own turf, but not at the expense of Ethiopian people who are paying with their life day and day out.
Attention!!!
One was accusing the other over corruption, collaborating with the “enemy” Weyanes, working against “Ethiopians”,threatening somebody`s life(murder)…the list is long. Ant the other was accusing on the same manner the one.
Know the “good news” come..”to work and lead together”. This shows how the Kinjit`s leaders including those in Kaliti are so stupid. If all the accusations were true, how come a person who is working against the people who elected him will be given a leadership again? If all the accusation were false, how come somebody who was miss informing the people who elected him will be given the leadership again? Can somebody explain on that?
But my people, trust me, all those people who signed the agreement are power hungry men. They don`t have the slightest concern for the people.
tebaberu or tesebaberu hodams/
If what has been written above is true it is a disgrace. I never expected the KNA to come waving the white flag. If Shaleka group is prpared to handover CUD on silver plate to Andargachew’s Kestedamena, it signifies the death of CUD. Now Andargachew will hand it to Meles. Mark my words!
I got a question…????????
If Kinijit is “many Ethiopian`s” party, is it a must to have those individuals as a leader to secure the party`s existence? Why is that the party could`t exist with out Hailu Shwowel?
I got the answer.
Kinjit is a very few individual people`s party and those individuals have got their personal issue with the Woeyanes. And we as an Ethiopians do not care about their personal issue.
Kinjit is not a new party. It was formed since the time Derg was about to fall. Since then the same people are coming up in different form of human right activist and political party.
Kinjit thinks that they have got the support b/c they had a big crowd on their demonstration in Addis. But they were short sighted to see that was not a real support. It is easy to get that crowd as long as the gap b/n the have and the have not is narrowed in Addis and anybody knows that Kinjit can not do that better than Woeyanes.
That is why we could`t see the Knjits one step forward for the last 17 years. But know they are about to die and they want to take some young diaspora Etiopians to their grave with them.
I think you lack the basics of journalism. You need to grow up to control your tantrum. If I were you, I would enroll in some kind of media course. You do have the ambtion to be a great journalist and please enhance your skills.
This is a great news for all Kinijit supporters and for the bitter struggle before us. I would like to thank both parties for coming to their senses and solve their differences. This is how we can show loyality to our beloved leaders at Kality and to the democratic cause and ideals they stood for.
Dear Elias, you did a lot in helping us know the mess and everything that went on inside KIL. Please recognize that it is now time for reconcilation and move forward. Therefore, please tone down and do not use terms like ‘gang of four’and others of similar tone. For the sake of unity, you should work harder and be positive in this regard.
Thank you
Well, Elias
I think every body understands your comitment to our country and to say the truth. but do not be sentimental.
every one of us has a way of thinking which might seem correct in our mind but wrong in its total effect and hence , we show them the mistakes and incourage to have constructive idea but it is bad to lead them to be more distructive than they are.
I admire your motivations which we have to every
Ethiopian at this critical condition.
That si good news!However, we need to compromise and work together.don’t try to appriciate one and blame others.The good thing is to forget the past and work together.Ethiopian Review, please don’t use unappropriate words which may creat another bad feeling each other.Lets forget the past and forgive each other.That is the only way to sucess.
Yared, the best thing is to clear out the past and continue. But not forget the past. That is how you get a good base. Other wise it is a very short sighted solution.
I am not a supporter of Kinjit but if i was, it would have been smart to know what really happened of all those accusations including the corruption and working together with the enemy. What happened to the money? Was it real when we were told that the leaders were using the money for their pleasure trip? Or we have been miss informed.
But the people who signed the agreement knew their existence was only safe if and only if they can continue together no matter how one is evil. But that does`t mean the existence of the party. The party, if it has got a real support from the Ethiopians, it should have been still intact without the “gang of four” or gang of 8 or 10. I don`t know how many gangs has got Andargahew Tsige.
cc: to all people who considered the signing of the agreement as achievement.
