German Radio (DW) has extensive coverage about the displacement of Ethiopians as a result of the secret border re-demarcation agreement between Meles Zenawi’s regime of Ethiopia and al-Beshir’s Sudanese regime in exchange for railway access for the Tigray region to Port Sudan.
DW also interviews Ethiopians who were released last week after being taken away from their lands by Sudanese government troops and thrown in jail. The Ethiopians were released after paying 2 million birr.
The people whose land have been taken away by Sudan are not being attacked by Sudanese troops alone. According to the DW report, Woyanne troops using heavy weapons have attacked the local residents who resisted.

Death to woyanes!
This is beyond any rational explanation. Heck, it beyuond irrational.
At this jubcture, I don’t expect anything from woyane, but why is it the Ethiopian ppl tolerate such brutality. I am beginning to question, how a scaredy ppl like the Ethiopian ppl won the battle of Adowa. By the way I am blaming Menelik for fighting for Adwa. They would have been better of under Italian occupation and been slaves to their colonial masters which they seem to enjoy. It would have been a win win situation.
Down with Meles Zenawi!
There is no difference between Meles Zenawi and Judah Escorotawi: Judah had betrayed Jesus and Meles had betrayed the people of Gondar.
Attacking the people of Gondar and taking their lands by force, and then putting in jail those who resisted giving up their lands is not only illegal but immoral.
Meles and Bashir, the two well-know African dictators, have committed a joint crime against the innocent Gondar farmers. The farmers are not compensated for their lands they lost and for the deaths of their loved ones.
Bashir, intoxicated with the bloods of the Darfur’s people, wants to add to his intoxication another bloody wine by killing the Gondar farmers with the complete consent of Meles Seitanawi (Zenawi) whose sole plan from the beginning is to enrich Tigray by building a rail way that starts from Tigray and ends at Port Sudan. Why the people of Gondar have to pay the heavy price for the Tigray’ rail way? Why not the Tigray people pay for their rail way?
History will remember Meles and his wife as the most mendacious, idiot, and demonic family ever existed in the Ethiopian history after Mussolini left Ethiopia; Mussolini had at least built many beautiful roads, aschoals, asphedales, and many road tunnels in Ethiopia, but what has Meles done for Ethiopia except destructions and plundering or looting the country?
How can a normal leader attack his own people with heavy weapons in support of a foreign enemy – Sudan? Of course, Meles is not a legitimate leader, and everybody knows that, and the people of Gondar, Oromo, and other regions do not recognize his evil leadership; therefore, he wants to sell them in the name of the other Ethiopians to any foreign country that comes up with a huge sum of money, and the money from such sale will go directly to Tigray to finish the construction of the new railway. Then Tigray Abay will attack the rest of the Ethiopians to enslave them; they will not have the power to hit back because Meles has purposely plundered everything that belongs to them: their weapons, their cattle, their soil, their gold, their children; he has transported all these wealth into Tigray.
One of the main reasons why many Ethiopians are starving to death, their children getting sick and dying in an alarming number is that Meles has already shipped tones of grain and medicine from the rest of the provinces to Tigray Abay and hid them there; Meles feeds his family from the food donated to the other hungry Ethiopian, and he does the same thing with the donated medicine. He sends his children abroad with the donated money, because there is no enough money in Ethiopia except the donated money.
If all the donor countries suspend sending their money to Ethiopia, the first people to die will be the Meles family because they depend on donation. They don’t want to spend their other money collected by force from the Ethiopian tax payers; they have kept that money in a foreign bank for an emergency purpose, or if something happen to their family.
Their greediness reminds me the greediness of that rich man in the Bible who killed and entertained his guest by taking and killing the poor man’s only sheep instead of killing one sheep out of the thousands of his own sheep (2Samuel 12:1-13). Greedy Meles is doing the same thing to the Ethiopian people; he will never touch or use his own assets before he completely exhausts the other Ethiopians’ properties either by stealing them or by forcing the property owners.
How can one get rid of such an evil, greedy, immoral person, and a pathological liar? May a day come when I never hear his name, comment about him, write about him, and remember him and his family any more! May the name Meles and the name Azeb be erased from the memories of all Ethiopians as the two spouses unanimously destroyed the history and the lively hoods of many Ethiopians!
Well, Ethiopians had always suspected that Meles Zenawi was not Ethiopian. He has betrayed Ethiopia and Ethiopians and has made secret deals with our enemies and sold our land to them. It is clear to us Ethiopians now that we have an enemy who is the ruler of our country and who will do anything to destroy us and our beloved country. Let the Sudanese government and people take heed of what Meles has done to our country and that they should know that no ruler ever has the right to do a secret deal without the knowledge of the people. This is tantamount to selling the sovereignty of a nation for money or other reward, e.g. joining the province of Tigray to Port Sudan by rail. LET THE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE OF SUDAN BE ON NOTICE AS OF TODAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2009 THAT WE ETHIOPIANS WILL GET OUR RIGHTFUL LAND BACK WHEN MELES GOES, EITHER BY THE CONSENT OF THE SUDANESE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE OR THROUGH INTERNATIONAL LAW. ORDINARY CRIMINALS ARE COMMONLY PUNISHED FOR COMMITTING CRIMES OF EMBEZZLEMENT, FELONY AND ROBBERY, BUT AN ARROGANT PRETENDER WHO HAS CONTINUOUSLY BETRAYED HIS CLAIMED COUNTRY DESERVES A JUST AND HARSH PUNISHMENT. BETRAYAL OF ONE’S COUNTRY IS THE ULTIMATE IN WAR OR DURING PEACE TIME.
GOD WILL BE ON OUR SIDE FOR OUR JUST CAUSE.
