Alert from Kinijit International
“We have received an urgent alert from Kailiti that Muluneh Eyuel ( Secretary-General of CUDP-Kinijit) and Andualem Arage, two young heroes of the Ethiopian democratic movement, have been severely beaten and locked up in solitary confinement again. We have no further information as to what prompted the prison guards to commit another wave of atrocities against these “prisoners of conscience.”

This is just a piece of information that leaked out. Who knows and who can understand the suffering that these people are going through each day. I have never seen nor heard of such a subtle and sneaky government like woyane who is smart enough to cover up facts. Unfortunately all lies and cover-ups have its own end. At the end of the day truth will prevail. Let us not faint and give up. No matter, what victory belongs to those who refuse to compromise and stand for truth. Each stroke this people receive in prison makes us go forth with our struggle until the days of calamity is over.
Dear ‘Yenetsanet Tefalamiwoch’ Muluneh and Andualem and others,
We most of Ethiopians inside and out side of the country know why the Woyane Government is doing inhuman acts to you. You are so commited to tell the truth regardless of where and how you are! Time and again, the Woyane guards show their masters that they can only follow what they have been told to do by their masters! No human reactions they have what so ever! In Woyane’s prison, a prisoner does not even have a freedom to speak! The only thing these young fellows have been through untold miseries in the prison cells is because they do speak up on what they think and know the truth of the Woyane political game is. The Ghandis, Marthin Luthers, living legend Mandelas and so many rightful individuals around the world made a difference on so many poor, rich, hopeful, hopeless, helpful and helpless people’s lives and life styles. So we know you too are caring the same messages to deliver to the whole people of Ethiopia. We the concious around the world are not going to let your jailers to unload ‘your cary on freedom back-packs’ before you deliver to your people! Please hang on with your ‘Kibir Lenetsanet!’
Thank you for your sacrifications!
Yours,
Yenetsanet Agar,
Shumet Menywab

High stakes for Africa at trial of warlord Taylor

THE HAGUE, May 31 (Reuters) – Former Liberian President Charles Taylor goes on trial next week charged with instigating murder, rape and terrorism during Sierra Leone’s civil war in a case prosecutors say could end impunity for African strongmen. Taylor, once one of Africa’s most feared warlords, faces 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity at the U.N.-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone, including recruiting child soldiers during the 1991-2002 conflict. The 59-year-old has pleaded not guilty to all charges. He was a driving force behind intertwined wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone which killed more than a quarter of a million people and shocked the world with stories and images of child soldiers high on drugs, killing, raping and looting. “Charles Taylor caused the biggest atrocities in this war. I support the trial because then other people will fear to do the same,” said Freetown trader Mohamed Kolokah, 28, whose business partner was killed by rebels supported by Taylor. The trial starts in The Hague on Monday. Prosecutors state in the indictment that Taylor sought to gain control of Sierra Leone’s mineral wealth, particularly its diamond mines, and destabilise the Freetown government, to boost his own influence throughout West Africa. In Sierra Leone, a generation of amputees — civilians whose hands or legs were hacked off by rebels — serve as a reminder of the cruelty of the conflict. “This trial is a crucial moment in signalling a break from the past in which impunity has all too often prevailed,” said Elise Keppler of campaign group Human Rights Watch. “Taylor’s trial sends a signal that no-one is above the law when it comes to the most serious crimes … the stakes are very high. This puts would-be perpetrators on the alert.” In the past, ousted African dictators have often fled overseas to live out their days unpunished. Taylor found exile in Nigeria after being overthrown in 2003, but was later handed to the court under international pressure.
FOCUSED TRIAL
The court indicted Taylor in March 2003 on 17 counts of war crimes but condensed the charges for a more focused trial, hoping to avoid the disappointment felt after former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic died just months before a verdict was due in a trial which lasted more than four years.
The court’s prosecutor, Stephen Rapp, has said he expects Taylor’s trial to be concluded in about 18 months. The defence is expected to present its case by early next year.
Britain has said it will jail Taylor, who faces a hefty sentence, if he is convicted.
Taylor was moved to The Hague because of fears a trial in Freetown could spur unrest in Sierra Leone or Liberia. The trial is held in the premises of the International Criminal Court.
“Everybody knows that Charles Taylor could make trouble again in Sierra Leone and it would be dangerous to try him here,” said Kolokah in Freetown. The prosecution plans to present evidence from 139 key witnesses, both victims of attacks and insiders. The indictment, which concentrates on abuses between 1996 and 2002, catalogues the horrific practices of Sierra Leone’s Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebels. Taylor is accused of backing them. “Civilians were shot, burned in their homes, hacked to death, and killed either while trying to escape from attacks on their homes or from their captors. Some victims died as a result of the sexual or physical violence to which they were subjected, while others died in the performance of forced labour.” “From the beginning of and throughout the conflict in Sierra Leone, the accused provided the RUF with assistance, encouragement and direction,” the indictment states.

I think your main problem is not the undemocratic government in Ethiopia as you called it, but it is due to your greedy to power. But I hive to know that we don’t let you to power again as far as we are alive. Let me tell you one thing, you had better to come and try to struggle inside the country than barking from abroad.
You are saying that the terrorist in Somalia are freedom fighters and it shows that how you are worst than even Al-Qadir.
Down to chauvinists
Peace to Ethiopia
Hailish the great from Ethiopia
Thanks Hailish the great. I will waste one sentence on you. “You are pathetic and afraid and it shows, nuff said” I implore no one else acknowledge or comment on his views as it is a waste of time and as usual Woyane technique to divide us by wasting time on insults.
I pray for the brave souls in Kaliti. Your fight will not be in vain. Meles will be shunned by the US Congress soon to be followed by the EU. Blair has already turned away from him so who will he have left
Fight on Ethiopians
