  1. I deeply thank God for creating Elias’s mom and dad who gave birth to this bright,full of intellect,honest,and who deeply care about Ethiopia,Sir Elias.
    Thank God for creating Elais.
    Elias a man with vision,and itegrity.Continue the good work you are doing.
    You will face persecution,discouragement,bulling that is what people like you and Jesus Christ face.
    But Iam 100% sure at the the end of all of these obstacles we will get rid the parasite,Weyane,once for all from our beloved country.
    I pray for you Elias every day
    May God bless you

  2. Elias proved his political brilliance with this interview. He put TPLF gangs and their hired hodams, who have been criticizing him for over a decade and half, to shame.

    The only problem, there are very few Elias likes in diaspora. Most of us are possessed with old style politics of 1970s and 1980s.

  3. What two opposite and contrasting individuals sit together! The interviewer and the interviewee are two different peoples. Elias is the very genius, open, democrat and smart journalist. I wonder his courage. The interviewer Ato Gizaw is one of the very conservative chauvinist son of Nefxenyaa from Ambo, who hates OLF and Oromo people. He also despise other nations in Ethiopia different from Amhara, Tigaru and Gurage. I just tell you what he once said, as one of the Ogadenis participated in Englands’ “terrorist” bombing. Ato Gizaw said: “he is not true Ethiopian like Amharas, Gurages and Tigarus”. Ato Gizaw is simply one of the die hard chauvinists!!!

  4. Well done Ellias! The interview was a great success. Also, I thank ETN for inviting you.

    Your determination is highly appreciated. You showed no fear or confusion in your stand. I could see hope in your sprit. This is what is needed at this time. Speaking the truth without fear, hoping for a better future for all Ethiopians, is what can move us forward. I hope, our move, in the future will add more of the flavour of love to all Ethiopians.

    Keep Up Ellias!

  5. Ato Yegermmal, I am an Eritren and i wish Ato Elias is Eritrean,but he is a genius and honest Ethiopian person who hates the dirty Woyane gangs.

    Keep up the good job Elias.

  6. first and foremost, Mr. Elias Kiflai must distinguish or understand the chief difference between the personal character, plitical integrity, political and public dedication, leadership responsibility and accountability and of course, future vision for Ethiopia of wozerit Birtukan Demeksa and Dr. Beyene Petros.

    Dr. Beyene Petros, as he clearly spoke out in public, he spent his time fruitlessly in a Kanagaroo parliament doing nothing except yawning, sneezing, and feeling boring and tired; why? because he had never had a firm stand and believes in what he was doing and in what he is going to do in the future.

    whereas, w.Bertukan Demekesa had been the voice of Ethiopians who believed in her well founded political integrity and fearless stand against the tplfwoyanae brutals. In many ways she had shown the beautiful and clear and accountable character in her struggle against the enemies of Ethiopia. she never walked a lame and shameful walk to the tplfwoyanae controlled useless parliament. That is the big thing that distinguishes her from the other weak individual.

    One can’t sit with folded hands simply because the current crimeridden regime hates Ethiopians and kills them. The sand of a strong poletician like W.Bertukan Demeksa is fight the enemy face on while motivating the rest of millions of Ethiopians. Mr. Elias, do you know this- when you attempt to fight the enemy from afar, you are likely to miss the target. The closer to the people and fight against the enemy, no matter how the enemy seems stronger and persistence, the better chance Ethiopians have.

    Remember, shabia and woyanae have been and are going to be the number one and the nuber two enemies of Ethiopia. The future of Ethiopia in many aspects of plitical situations must not depend on either of the two natural enemies of Ethiopia.

    Ethiopians can defeat all sorts of Ethiopia’s enemies by themselves. Ethiopia’s future must all be in the hands of Ethiopians. Period.

  8. i like the word you said…”the opposition in Ethiopia should sit down and announce they can’t do anymore as the struggle is now in a new chapter”.

    Weldone. Elias. But i found the first two callers very Irritating. for a question that would take 10 seconds, it took them 4 minutes and 30 seconds. They were trying to make their speech interesting in which they failed and exposed how boring and illitrate they are. Typical of many of our compatriots who reside in Diasopora, they should learn to get to the point. We would have listened more of Elias had this two callers shortened their question

  9. Elias, I am proud of you! keep up the good work.
    I can tell you are not going to be fulled by all these Woyane supporters e-mails who are requesting a permanent licence to kill and give our land to others, and engageus in fight and corruption. They think this is an effective way of dictatorship. Eventhough you are not a politician neither do I, I agree with honest suggestions.

  10. Ato Elias Kifle is the greatest and the most devoted Ethiopian of our time. It is amazing how much time and energy this single Ethiopian spends.
    Elias is a great Ethiopian General of our time, he doesn’t own tanks or army divisions, his only weapon is a key board!
    There is nothing that scares Woyannie in this planet more than Elias Kifle and his web site ER because Elias knows what makes woyannie tick.
    Woyannies even sentenced Elias Kifle through its kangaroo courts to life imprisonment in absentia. I think, Elias was one of the handful Ethiopians to face the Woyanies evil wrath in absentia.
    I wish, there were ten more Ethiopians like Elias. May God bless him and protect him from all evil.
    Let every Ethiopian give a hand to support to this great Ethiopian!

  11. I don’t support your approach, however, you came out stronger than the anchor as he hasn’t done his home work very well. He is very inarticulate and doesn’t have any sense of direction in the interview process.

  12. Ato Gizaw be 4 tegnawm kifel interview yemenayew yerson ambagenenawi hidet newna ebakewo Ato Eliasn leinterview kakerebut nesaneten bisetut. Fesmo ye Ethiopia gazetegna betseno endemiyakerbew zena endinager kehon waga yelewm Ato Elias gen ahunm wedfit enlalen.

  13. To conclude, this interview has proven that Elias is a dozen times smarter than the fellow who carried out the interview. The interviewer sounds like a gossip journalist, who merely reflects gossips, rumours and his own personal opinions than asking well prepared questions. Once again, this has given us one reason to give up on the old generation, who still live old thinkings that never worked.

    Elias is too smart politician for the interviewer. He has proved himself in well meant answers to even some of the weird and irritating questions of the interviewer.

    Way to go Elias!!

  14. The so called “Gobeze” You have to go to school to get behavioral change. Please give your comment instead of insulting Elias. Please respect the other people ideas.
    As you love PMMZ, we love Elias too!!!

  15. Dear readers,

    I have watched all interviews of Elias Kifle. He has only ambition and courage, but not knowledge. I am deeply saddened by Elias’s very immature and un-intellectual ideas and vision that can misguide many of the uneducated people. Sadly he has admirers, I guess people like him. All of his answers are fragmented, out of the point, and prejudiced. He must be told to stay away from Ethiopian politics. People like him are destructive and dangerous. Ethiopia has so many intellectuals who can lead the politics.

    Now I know who Elias is.

  16. HALLO ELIASE, BERETA, TIRU ZENA NEW YEMETAKERBEW. WEYANEN WEYANE BEMALET BE ZENAWOCHEH LAY MAKREBEH YIMEDENEK NEW.

  17. mpressed with both of you for making this awesome open forum discussion. I watched all five chapters continuously without break. I like both of you for the following reasons.

    A. Ato Gizaw …you sound a very intelligent CBS type news man who is managing his show according to his sponsors. Which means a sound judgment with intellectual twist. A very centrist approach but not as goal oriented, with a sence of urgency.
    B. Ato Elias is risking everything he has on a vision he has in his head; but he can’t explain in a logical or political science method.

    In conclusion, I would rather seek a visionary than a person who is willing to talk about all the reasons why it didnt work in the past. (no disrespect to Ato Gizaw) At least with Ato Elias I will find out what worked or didnt work in a couple of YEARS.
    There is a saying……
    If you are not living on the edge you are taking too much space !!!

  18. Ato Elias you are my hero because you are the burning flame inside me. One of the things I noticed on the interview was how much the interviewer was confused. Mr. Gezaw seems to luck the ability to distinguish between a thugs and a dissent human. You have to call a donkey nothing else but “donkey”; you respect a person when a person respects you. Melese and his servants have no respect what’s so ever for the people of Ethiopia. The Army is not there to protect the people of Ethiopia but their master Melese, which is why it is called the Woyane army I hope Mr. Gezaw will understand all these.
    Good job my brother

    God bless Ethiopia

  19. This guy is a breath of fresh air to Ethiopian people and a nightmare to Wayane. I just can’t wait to listen part 4 of the interview. By the way, I can’t help but to notice that the host either had some feeling to Wayane or scare to offend them to protect god know what??

  20. Elias weldone, you did good. except one time the interviewer cornered you regarding the question he raised on peaceful struggle you wrote recently.

    all in all we said

  21. Elias , you just made it clear and get it right. That is all what we need. How do you respect some one who kills your kids, sisters, brothers.. all the time? The other so called journalist was completely out touch from the realities existing with in the TPLF camp. He really does not know TPLF to say the least.

  22. This interview proves Elias is a new brand politician, who thinks outside the box-the old thinking that failed Ethiopians for decades. His answered all those, mainly rumour and gossip, questions with calm and collection. Welcome to the new era. Just the interview, in sight into the disparity of thinkings of interviewer and interviewee, is evidence enough in showing the difference in thinking of Ethiopians across generations. Elais likes mark a Welcome to the new era in Ethiopian politics.

    Well done Elias! Some still want to stick to the old methods and thinkings that produced NO result so far. And we cannot get a new result banking on the failed thinkings and methods. There lies the core problem in Ethiopian politics in opposition.

  23. The interview was a kind of hard talk like BBC.But in a way it was good to clear ppl opinion they have about Elias.There will be no more question about elias being a patriotic Ethiopian unlike weyane trying to convince us that Elias is Shaebia.We can’t have civilized politics with killers.Weyane has to go by anymeans!!!

    thanks Elias!
    May God bless you!

  24. Is it just me or the interviewer sounds like a weyane sympathizer? Nevertheless Elias gave him honest and wise answers. I learnt a lot about you today Elias and I must say I’m impressed.

  25. በጣም ይገርማል :: አሁን ኩማ አህያ ተባለ ብላችሁ ነው እንደዚህ የምትንጫጩት ??

    አህያ ማለት የማያስብ እንስሳ ማለት ነው :: አህያ የሚበላውን ከሰጡት ስራውን ያለምን ማመንታት መስራት ነው መብቱ :: እናም አቶ ኩማ ወያኔ ምግብ እየሰጠ እንደ አህያ የሚያዘውና የሚያሽከረክረው እንስሳ ማለት ነው ::

    ስለዚህ የታዘዘውን ያለተቃውሞ የሚሰራ ከሆነ ከአህየዋ በምን ተሻለ ?

  26. Again i want to say to Elias, keep on going. The interviewer is in denial but he is still woyanne. He is not only an interviewer but he talk about hi idea, his view. He got angry about positive the comments about elias. Journalist in disguise

  27. TPLF agents campaigned the most against Elias. Maybe no Ethiopian in diaspora sufferred negative character assassination TPLF gangs campaign against him/her as much as Elias has to grow through. He survived it all and still standing tall. Many would have given up. Stars in our diaspora politics against TPLF gangs and their hired guns shined now and then, including with print and web publications. But none stood so long and thriving as long as Elias has done. Although we may not agree with some of Elias’ opinions, his commitment and determination are deeply admirable.

  28. Elias good interview. However I disagree one thing with you…and you said ” Shabia is working for ethiopia aendente” so if shabia is working for one Ethiopia..then why do shabia Support all anti-Ethiopia Such as O.N.L.F. O.L.F. etc etc could you answer me that please
    thanks.

  30. Elias,

    Thank you for pointing out Woyanes former skills, of shoe shinning for shabia. That was the bottom line truth and they need to be remided their servitute characters. Woyannes are unabashed, unrepentant enemies of Ethiopian people.
