The British government rewards its blood thirsty puppet Meles Zenawi with hundreds of millions of dollars for continuing to terrorize the peoples of Ethiopia and Somalia. We all know that malaria prevention, etc. is all lie. The money will be used to keep the dying regime of Woyanne alive.

ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) — Britain said on Thursday it will give Ethiopia 2.5 billion birr this year to help the Horn of Africa country try to achieve the U.N. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Some of the money will be used to send 1 million children to school and buy three million mosquito nets to prevent the spread of malaria, one of sub-Saharan Africa’s biggest killers.
British High Commissioner (ambassador) to Ethiopia Norman Ling said the assistance was the biggest Britain has offered to any African country, adding the aid would be provided through the UK’s Department for International Development.
“The UK is fully committed to helping Ethiopia achieve the MDGs as the assistance of the 2.5 billion birr for this year shows,” Paul Ackroyd, the head of DFID, told a news conference.
DFID has spent some 2.7 billion birr on programmes in Ethiopia over the past four years, Ackroyd said.
One of the U.N. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) aimed at halving global poverty by 2015 is reversing the trend toward a constant increase in the incidence of malaria, HIV/AIDS and other diseases.

Dear editor,
I think we all know what the British and the Americans do for TPLF regime. We dont expect anything good from them for the oppressed Ethiopian people. The fight in Somalia is unexpectedlig intensified and the loyal meles is defeated hence the British and Americans will do whatever is necessary to avert this resistance which I think is futail. Therefore what we have to do is just stronglig and bravelig fight the woyanes and their tugs wherever they are and by any means. There and then the British and Americans will undeerstand that nothing can be achieved with out the will of the poeple. Puppet is always puppet and will be thrown out. They better stand with the people, avoid tyrany and establish longstanding peace.
We will defeated woyanee!
Surely the British decision makers know very well the fact that giving aid to minority undemocratic dictators will only serve the narrow exclusive interests of the minority dictatorship and not at all the interests of the already enslaved and impovershid general population.
Part of the aid money will surely end up in TPLF’s private secret bank accounts while part of it will go in to financing Wayane’s military hardware and software for strengthening domestic and external dictatorships and human dehumanizations.
This is the well known classical British double stardardism whereby they ferevently condemn Robert Mugabe of Zimbabawe for being an anti democratic dictator who must leave the position of government and governance just to protect selfish british expatriate ex-colonialists supermacist in Zimbabwe.
Then again the same British government turns around and generousely pampper a world known human right violating pathological killer minority dictatorship in Ethiopia by offering large sums of finacial, psychological, and other materials to strengthen the dictatorship and weaken the already wretched 80 million Ethiopians being fed on empty propaganda and an imaginary untouchable magic cake high in the sky.
Now that the Bush administration is soon to transfer power from the Republicans to the Democrats, a process which may alter the practical power relationships and leader friendships in some regions of the world, the British perhaps wants to inherit the Bush empire over which the sun never sets. Hmm…

Wait a minute, didn’t woyane receive similar aid several times during the border war in late ’90s? On one occasion it was to the tune of $400 million. Interestingly, a week later we read another article on Russian news that woyane purchased weapons worth, … you guessed it – $400 million. Mosquito nets my foot.
The British people are generous in helping poor countries like Ethiopia but lack wisdom in identifying the good and the bad regimes of those destitute nations. In this case, the British government has totally failed to help the Ethiopian people to get them out of an oppressive government rather than out of poverty. Most Ethiopians prefer to live in poverty to living in slavery under Meles Seitanawi. The goal of the British government to give Ethiopia 2.5 billion birr is, if I’m not wrong, to educate the Ethiopian children and to prevent the spread of malaria and other diseases, but giving this much money to Ethiopia in the name of educating the Ethiopian children and keeping them away from malaria is like throwing banana to the hungry monkeys, and before the little monkeys get the bananas, the big monkeys get most of the bananas. In the same way, before the needy Ethiopian children get the necessary help from the British donation, the Meles family and his political gangs snatch the money and get away with it unnoticed.
Act of this kind of robbery has continued in Ethiopia when ever donation comes from either the United States or the British people. The ones that go to bed hungry and remain unnoticed by the west are the poor Ethiopian children, but the ones that get the benefits of all the donated money and the Ethiopian tax payers’ money are the children of the rich whose parents are highly paid by the Meles Seitanawi regime.
Identifying the poor children from the rich Mekelle children should be the first priority of the donor nations before they throw their money into the mouths of the greedy African dictators. The British people and those other countries that generously send their money to Ethiopia are wonderful and God-loving people, but their politicians are wasting their money by buying friendship with the Dictator Meles Seitanawi with the money they generously donate to help the poor Ethiopian children.
The people of Great Britain have the right to come to Ethiopia to see what their hard-earned money has accomplished in helping the poor and in irradiating malaria from Ethiopia. If the British people are not satisfied with what their money has accomplished, they have the absolute right to make their government responsible for wasting their money and for lying to them even though their government may try to cover-up its deceptions and falsifications.
Is it really hard for the British people to identify a dictator and to know if a country is being governed by a dictator? Is it hard to identify the Dictator in Burma after what had happened to the Burmese people during that devastating earthquake that took place just recently? In the same way, is it hard to identify a dictator in Ethiopia after the 2005 election results when hundreds of innocent Ethiopian lost their lives and many journalists are being sent to jail, and many people are dying in Somalia, Ogaden, Oromo, and Gondar? Why do then the Americans and the British continue to support Dictator Meles Seitanawi? Why don’t they listen to the voices of the voiceless Ethiopians whose lives have become a nightmare under Meles Seitanawi’s regime?
I hope one day, the British and the Americans will come to their senses and hear the voices of the Ethiopian people and rescue them by stopping sending money to help the Meles regime. Once the British and the Americans turn their backs against Meles Seitanawi and monitor the free election to be held in Ethiopia and help the Ethiopian people elect without fear their own government officials, then the Ethiopian people will always be grateful to the British and to the American people for their help in ousting Meles Seitanawi from his office held illegally for almost 20 years.
It is almost impossible for the Ethiopian people to have democracy under such cruel Dictator Meles Seitanawi whose power and strength are rooted in Washington and London, and if the Ethiopian people do not get the support of the American and the British people, they will never prevail to bring democracy to their country.
I strongly disagree with Assta B. Gettu’s statement Comment #4 that “The British people are generous in helping poor countries”. Nothing could be further from the truth! In fact the British people are known to be stingy “gebgaba” and would rather pierce a hole in a can when they throw it away rather than some miserable third world people use it. But, we do not need to talk about the British “people”. They have nothing to do with the 2.5 million birr donation to the criminal Weyane gangs. It is their government that is doing the “Giving aid”. And surely, the British government, the junior partner of the American government, is not known either for its generosity or even its benevolence to humanity. They could care less if Ethiopian kids go hungry. They would have been so “Generous” if they don’t have a servant administration in Meles Zenawi who is willing to insult the Ethiopian people by begging in their name and using that money to terrorize, not only the Ethiopians themselves, but his neighboring countries as well. Now, the British government not only knows that, but it takes part of the terror that is a reality in the Horn. So, no matter how you slice it the British people and government have never been “Generous with poor people” and there is no reason to believe that they would be in the near future. Here a thought for you. Why are the British people NOT generous with the poor suffering Zimbabweans? They sure as hell are down right poor. Could it be that Mr. Mugabe is not a subservient of the West as the Adwa boy? Think about it.
Dear bert,
I can assure you the British people are very generous or unselfish people. For example, when Italy aggressively invaded Ethiopia, the British people welcomed Emperor Haile Selassie and his family to stay in London. Then the same people helped our King to defeat the Italians and gave us our priceless freedom. You can also go to London and see how many Ethiopians are living there, may be in thousands, and some of them getting government assistance until they can find a job.
Three years ago, it was the British government who asked the Group of Seven Nations to give more aid to the developing nations and to pardon 100 percent of Africa’s $70 billion in debt. Earlier, in 2002, the British government promised to give Ethiopia 15 million pounds in emergency aid. If we count the aid the British people have been generously giving to the Ethiopians from the time of Emperor Haile Selassie to the present regime, it will be in billions of dollars. Therefore, one cannot blindly deny the generosity or the unselfishness of the British people. Their methods of giving the money to Ethiopia may be wrong, but the great respnsibility to use the money rests on the receiver, not on the donor.
