Yesterday, in its silly attempt to divert attention from the secret deal that gave away tens of thousands of square kilometers of land to Sudan by the Meles dictatorship, the foreign minister, Seyoum Mesfin, declared ‘flag day’ and handed out 600,000 flags.
The Ethiopian Review Intelligence Unit today has obtained a recent photo of an Ethiopian flag in front of the Bole International Airport in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa. As you see below, the flag is torn up and it seems that it has been there for a long time in total neglect. What a better way is there to show the contempt Woyanne has for Ethiopian flag than this one which is displayed at a highly visible place — an international airport?

Elias,
Is it true that Bole Airport was voted this year as cleanest African airport?
A lot of people have been talking about it.
“the flag is just a cloth” that what melse said 17 years ago .
Now the foreign Minister trys to turn back while Ethiopian flag is torn up in the eye of the city.

“A picture is worth a thousand words”, what a telling picture about the state of woyane and its handling of the country. Sad indeed!
There has never been such a thing in Ethiopia as a ‘flag day, mothers’ day, fathers’ day’ or ‘dogs’ day.’ Yes, there have been “St. Mary’s day, St. Michael’s day, St. Tekile Haimanot’s day, St. George’s day,” and son and on.
So, whom is the foreign minister, Seyoum Mesifin, deceiving by declaring an ordinary day a “flag day”? I think he is trying to confuse the Ethiopian people who are used to Saints’ days with his creation the so called “flag day.” The Ethiopian people want someone to hand them their territories taken by force and given to Sudan rather than to hand them the Ethiopian flags. The flag is nothing without the territorial integrity; the Ethiopian territory has been breached by a foreign power, and until that territory is returned, there will be no “flag day” or Meles’ day or Azeb’s day. In fact, we must designate the entire 17 years of Meles’ reign: “years of sadness and disgrace.”
The virgin girl Ethiopia has been violated by the uncircumcised Bashir of Sudan, and let us rise up and do to Sudan what Bashir has done to Ethiopia and take away the disgrace from our country Ethiopia.
In fact we shold call that day National Day of Mourning, in memory of our land given to Sudan.
do they mean ”we are going to tear apart the country like the flag you see up there!”
Woyane is too smart. They know how to play with the fanatics Ehiopian “wrong lovers.” They play with your fallacy again and again, until you show a wise and a compassionate love to Ethiopia- not the old, wrong and fantasy love. Love of Purpose, love that is integral and differential; if you know what I’m saying
Yes the flag is a peace of cloth and what really matters is the hatred, bigotry, poverty, and ethnocentrism. In the end we will perish like poisoned rats because we deserve it for we are disgrace to the past and the future generations of Ethiopia. Shame on us, we pretend like we are in business when we are lost and in desperation.
wako & wako,
yes, u got it bro.. i feel u deep to my bone.. and i share the same belief with u.
Guys if you look closly and carefully it is the stupid looking blue Woyanay’s emblem that is torn out of the real flag as for me I think even the wind is mad at these cruel leaders. Wow the spirit of Ethiopia!!!!
Beshir, we are clearly telling you to give our land back. So simple and easy thing to do. If not after phiscally economically and physcologically ditroying TPLF it is gone be your turn. Our flag we be raid high in Kartoum if it is nessesary.
The filthy mouthes of those robbers and looters spoke so many lies and continue to stink day after day. Ethiopian flag is the flesh and blood of millions of Ethiopians.
Woyanaetplf looters and murderers don’t have anything to do with the blood and flesh of Ethiopians as they are the enemies of Ethiopia who gave away 1700 sqkm of land of Ehiopia.
No single Ethiopian can be fooled by the words that come out of their stink mouthes.
okay, those of you who dont see flag in its context…
dumb asses. Ethiopia is not made up of the flag but its people. It is a symbol. Not anything more. It is not an end by itself…
The Wayanes are simple cunning foxes dressed in sheep skins.
They are anti Ethiopian monisters from the bottoms of their hearts and are only in power for enslaving and robbing each and every Ethiopian, reagrdless of region, religion, gender, ethnicities, etc.
The minority dictator despots are routinely sending Ethiopians to deaths and jails as well as expelling from homes, communinties and country, thus forcing them to be alien refugees in foreign lands and cultures.
These brutal and inhuman cruel acts of dictators are ongoing processess which we have been and are still witnessing and experiencing on daily basis and they have none to fool and none to manipulate, however cunning foxes they may try to be.
When the cunning Wayane foxes are overfeeding and over drunking themselves and pumping their chests arrogantly they grab the Ethiopian flag, smearing it with dirty mud, walking over it with dirty boots and tear it apart and throw it to the garbage, saying,” that is a place for a useless rag.”
This of course is just a simple psychological warfare to demoralize, dehumanize, enslave and control the population for their own minority slave labour camps. That is what all colonialists and slave lords used to do through out historical times.
But now the over emphasis and over exageration of the same flag being brutally abused a while ago by the cunning wayane foxes is the reflection of the Wayane’s diminishing power and shrinking influence as the minority’s power is getting eroded from all directions and the despots visions are getting dimmer and dimmer by each passing days.
It is one of the tactics and technics of dividing and ruling the heterogenous and rather traditional general population.
We must expect to see sooner when these cunning foxes start going around the churches and monasteries and mobilizes its own priests and debteras to collect and brain wash unemployed young people who are able to drum war drums and lead spiritually and morally wayane armies of conquest in all directions. Young people are not only the killer’s targets to be used, but also old guard politicians brutally softened and brainwashed in Wayane jails.
After all most of those Wayane PDO’s are former Wayane war prisoners, brainwashed and being used to serve the unilateral wayane cruel interests.
The war is in fact against all Ethiopians whom it is now massacaring with impunity, but at the same time scared to death from paying the prices of its criminalities sooner or later.
No wonder, the mercenary’s staunch foreign supporter going to leave power soon, opposition groups discussing strategies of unity and dealing with the Wayane problem, Somali liberation forces gathering more and more power and challenging the killer colonialist invader’s capabilities, etc.
Since the future is getting darker and darker for the murderer Wayane, it needs to take rufuge in the churches and monasteries and hide in there by wraping itself with thick and warm Ethiopian flag and prepare a new and fresh counter attack again.
Now is the time to put on its sheep skin masks, flirting, acting and dancing its political tango inorder to fool the good Ethiopian victims and keep them still as victims forever to come.
Firm and broad based unity in diversity by the opposition is the only way to neutralize the Wayane brutality and its documented endless crimes against humanity.
That a’int Ethiopian Flag. It has some ugly bluesh stuff patched on it. I could give an eye witness account that Ethiopians do not embress this flag. In recent Houston International Festival There was this tent decorated with this flag had turned off many and the following day the flags were put behind.
you have got the worst intelligence unit with worst photoshopping skill. This is not a convincing picture though I would not vouch such a thing won’t happen under woyanne.
Truely, our beloved flag tainted with that woyane symbol doesn’t give any meaning to me. I agree it looks “cherk” to me. The one I have is plain Green, Yellow, and Red.

Do you also know that the new terminal at bole airport roof was torn off..the economy of the ethiopia has been torn off, the election in 2005 has been torn off by weyane, the gold from the bank has been torn off, the land on the boarder of sudan torn off, every thing is torn off in the weyane reign.
I just called my mom in addis. she tells me that there is no electricity in the city. a small candle(shama) cost over three birr(if you are lucky enough to have your hands on one.) teff is sold only through a broker(dellala.) having enough money is not a guarantee that you would be able to buy food item. they failed to regulate the simplest things, you eat food at your own risk as it has been witnessed in recent deaths of countless people from food poisening. water has become a luxury item. it is beyond belief. they are purposely running the country to the ground.
i never considered this my flag anyway.
The flag? Isn’ it the one with the star with blue and yellow emblem in the middle? So why cry about it. So let it fly as it is.
Meles has been preaching the flag as a simple cloth 17 years a ago and now they are declaring a flag day. If they understood,flag is the representation of History of ethiopia. Our heros has paid their blood to protect the ssovereignty of the country. The Meles regime has given our land to Eritria & Sudan and still want to preach that we should celebrate “Flag day”. What is flag if we are not dying to safeguard our country?
Shame on you Melese and Mesfin.
What a surprise. The Foreign Minister,while addressing the flag day through media, the picture posted on Addis Zemen & Herald shows that the flag pin on his chest shows a turn around. This shows how this people are still mockering on our flag.
Elias please try to get the picture.It is funny!!!
It is not surprising to see such torn flag let alone at the Bole Air port where there is terrific wind and the flag could be exposed for direct Ginbot (May) sun light , if the posted picture is taken recnetilly and Delibrately We should fight the weyane and their groups other wise we could find a torn Falg even in the palace.
For me the point should be Is Weyane realy torn the National Falg ? or it was torn by sun, wind or other factors..? people let us be fair and rational.
Minster Seyom Mefine and Melese Zenawi are wise men today than what they have beeen 17 yeares ago, Becuse they do understand what Being Ethiopian means and how to rule the people either by gun or deplomacy.Elias Thank you for posting this picutre but how far it is true and a recent picutre.
Becuse I rembered that once a Cambodian police men were considred Ethiopia’s security forces, who were tortured their people … ( please let us be wise and love our country and narrow our diffnernce) May God blesses Ethiopia !!!!
This flag day! Coming for TPLF is surly a funny and sad!
