July 3, 2007 (KHARTOUM) — A joint Sudanese-Ethiopian committee would start today to hand over agricultural lands to residents of more than 17 Sudanese villages located in eastern Atbara River along the Ethiopia-Sudan border.
The agricultural lands remained a source of dispute for more than 100 years.
Governor of Al-Gadarif State, in eastern Sudan, Abdelrahman al-Khidir told Akhir Lahzah that this step came as an implementation of 1971 agreement which stated re-demarcation of the border between the two countries.
He added that technical arrangements have been finished and a committee of seven experts from each side would give the Sudanese farmers their lands, pointing out that his government is ready to append these farmers with the current agricultural season.
He said that with the end of the committee’s work which might last for a week, the lands would be back to their owners.
He explained that they have formed 17 cooperative societies in addition to other previous societies in order to support the farmers within the framework of the agricultural campaign on one hand and to consolidate the Sudanese land on the other.
Furthermore the governor called for dealing with the border issue with a good spirit between the two countries, adding that people should look at the border issue as an area of integration not of conflicts.
He explained that the final operation of border re-demarcating which might conclude after the autumn season would put an end for all kinds of security breaches and instability situation in the area.

This is again another betrayal of the Meless regiome to decide on the fate of ethiopian land with out a mandate from the people. Please note that this area is one of the most fertile land in Ethiopia that extends from Humera to Mettema. The main reason for the great king of Ethiopia, Emperor Yohannes to sacrifice his life at Mettema was to defend this part of area against the then Mahadist (Derbush) invasion. All his successors including King Menellik, King Haileselassie and even the Dergue managed to preserve this land until TPLF-traitors led by Legesee Zenawi and W/selassie (Sebhat) Nega come and ask the Sudanese government to take over this fertile land.
What is next? Badme is a question of time that the traitors on power have already agreed and signed in Algeirs to hand over it to their promise country : Eritrea. Herein after,there is no doubt that Legesse and Sebhat will ask kenya too to receive its share on the Moyale side.
Meles has problem with his head ( Nort of Ethiopia )
befor he starts with his feet (South of Ethiopia ) we have to cut his nick off.
Dear Editor,
Dear Editor,
I have been discussing this issue with the Ethiopian geographer now in Woyane’s prison that maintained that the territory belongs to Ethiopia. The only way out for us Ethiopians is to see by all means that this rabid lumpen dog is removed from Addis Ababa.
Iskender
Woyane is giving the Ethiopian territory to Sudan for ransoms with exchange Sudan will continue attacking and affecting the oppositions including EPPF and others.
Woyane bandits don’t care about Ethiopia. They are the one fighting against Ethiopian for the Eritrean Independency. They are the one wrote a letter to UN in order to fasten the Eritrean independency and land locking Ethiopian to rule her in closed door.
This is another inhuman and evil move by woyane against the Ethiopian sovereignty. All along they are doing anything just to stay in power. They took Wolkite, tegede, humera, alemuha, almata, akobo and other territory from Go0nder and wollo to self created Tigry.
Now they are giving land to Sudan. Where are those TPLF created slaves so called ANDM? Are they still in Bahri dar saying representing the people in the area? All of them are Foolish and hodam.
What Sudan need to understand is that woyane is not representing Ethiopia. Any agreement with the Ethiopian enemies (woyane) behind the Ethiopian people back will not be accepted by Ethiopians. Sudan need to deal with her own Internal issues such as Darfur, abbey, South Sudan, Easter front and other issues rather than be part of the Ethiopian enemies (woyane) against the Ethiopia campaign.
Remember, the Blue Nile water you are using for free belongs to Ethiopia. Your past and as well as present active relationship with the Ethiopian enemies(woyanes) for sure will cost you for the next long long future, unless you immediately stopped being part of the woyane evils that are too much hated by the Ethiopian people.
Dear True Ethiopians,
Meles and his Regime really cancer for Ethiopia and Ethiopians.I am sure he offered this land for the Sudan because the government of the Sudan to help in his evil practices to stop any freedom fighters in the area.
LETS STOP WHINING ABOUT WHAT THIS TPLF TYRRANT/WAR LORD-CRIME _AND LETS TALK WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT —ASKARIS ZENAWI DID AND DOING HIS BEST TO DISMEMBER ETHIOPIA…ITS OUR TURN TO TALK ABOUT US-WHAT WE CAN DO TO STOP THIS MADNESS –AS THE SAYING GOES “ANY SOCIETY GETS A GOVERNEMENT IT DESERVES”ITS OUR JOB AND RESPONSIBILITY TO STOP THIS BANDA/TRAITOR BEFORE WE LOST AN IDENTITY AND A NATION CALLED ETHIOPIA
Hello to all ethiopians,
The problem with you(thiopians)is you talk a lot and don
don’t worry , we live in USA and we don’t carry no more on ethiopia land . we are landlocked country. we don’t have any choice . we love our self and our poltical organization than our country.
so, what do you think?
Ere Gobez!This korata guy keeps slicing Ethiopia.This Albenian dirt with the American suit has been stinking for a long time,somebody has to do something about that!!!!
Not only Ethiopia lost her head to Shabia but Meles himself has lost his head to Shabia. As long as this S.O.B. stays where he is, there will be no place for us to call home to. Thanks to him, may be some of us might end up becoming citizens of another African country.
Dear Editor: You are highly appreciated and you are doing your best as real citizen of Ethiopia by depicting the deeds of futile elements in Addis Ababa.
What TPLF/EPLF regime decides, demarcates, draws as a map or enter a commitment is merely a monkey game. Do you know that he is living as nomad in the capital? He is dead alive being shield under troops of his master.
Such a coward, a blind person who failed to forsee what moves in on him and colleagues can’t bring a dimunitive change against Ethiopian teritory. Given he is fortunate,he and his mean freinds might escape with what they have looted but not the land.
Those of you who are in power, keep on sharing and handing over the land, but make sure you won’t escape the surgical theater in your life.
Are we forgetting that Meles has long history of resentment and a sense of deep abhorrence for Ethiopia. It’s like asking Osama Bin Laden to preside over the US and then question his motives…
Haile
OK ppl Meles is going too far now.First was Eritrea then Assab and then Badmme and now another land? whats next for him? put the ethiopian ppl on layaway? some one needs to stop this insane man.He thinks its ok to just slice and dyce our land? WOY TIGGAB !!!!!!!
This is not new information One of melese’s prominent CADRE “ESHETU DABA” officially has been calling to CARVE OUT THEIR (AMHARAS)LAND AND hande it to SUDAN,I thought he was being imotional.Little I know he was speaking something he knew will come to pass.Listen,at the center of controversy is not Melese but Ethiopians ,specilly the elite.This people have no “hamote,they don’t believe if some one slap them in the face ,they have to defend themselves.Every time the issue of standing up comes ,they have a way of drawing and take us to their usuall pep talk room:soon we will be out of touch with reality,because they have no desire to fight.While we sit and endlessly chater ,we lose all our hard won national treasure and precious land.
From this point,if we can’t agree on the need to ouset this regime now through armed struggle,I suggest to you we need to go our separate way:the provincial Ethiopians, of Wello,Gondar,Gogam ,we have special responsiblity to take T.P.L.F out.It is much preferrable to allie with Shabia,than to sit and see the disentegration of Ethiopia.
Ethiopians are the one to be blamed;at this point,there is noting we have not known yet about this mesanger of destruction.We know his track record is cluttred with glaring betrayals:he staged a succesful cobative sizure,and rose to the first rank after he expelled Aregawi,and Giday;here,we witnessed the fall of the innocent by the way side and the rise of the snitcher to the first rank:betrayal.when the relation ship betwen shabia and T.P.L.F wane,he orderd the confiscation of propety and expulsion of Eritrian Addis residents:betrayal:During the split withen T.P.L.F,some believe he orderd the murder of his security chief,put Tsie and his family in jail,for corruption,and expeled the rest of the members:once again we see ,Melese repeatdly deceiving and betraing.He betrayd Ethiopian people many times ,that I will not go thru all events.Then,he crossed to Somalia committed his atrocity by killing 1000 citizins to the people who fed and shelterd while he was a gust:betrayal Melese biting the hand that feed him.
We know more than we want about him;it will be more acceptable to expect and meet this character through the dark alley of Mexico city or Merkado,to continue to see such a one in Arat Killo,will bring humilation,and defeat.Please let us stand and do what it needs to be done:stop the talk put our resources, work with Shabia ,and with other political org’s in the nation to bring the demise of melese:God willing we can do it;the mere our united standing will send the enemy in shudder.
