  1. It is TPLF’S BUSINESS AS USUAL TO SELL ETHIOPIA’S FLAG AND COLLECT MONEY FOR THEIR POCKET FROM THE SO CALLED “REGIONAL STATES” TPLF can distribute the flag freely for the people , but tplf will take the money from the TPLF’s made regional states buget. Now their textile factory in tegeray lost so many in comes because of economic hardship.soTPLF must arrange such a athmospher to snatch the publice fund. But it is apity that melese is going to sell even ” cherek”.

  6. Ethiopians has disregarded TPLF flag [a flag that hold a sign of disintegrating] for the last 17 years, rather the people of Ethiopia still have the original one, which represents one Ethiopia. TPLF got already upset for not able to take away the feeling of unity in Ethiopians’ mind. Now, in the name of nationality, the sneaky Woyane want to hand out their rejected flag to Ethiopians. Ethiopians should aware about it and burn it immediately when they get it. This is another time to say “Enough is Enough”!!!

  7. THIS IS A PREPARATION TO DECLARE WAR ON ERITREA!!!!!!!! NOTHING ELSE.
    AFTER 20 YEARS BULL S* TALK ABOUT OUR FLAG(CHERKE….) AND DISRESPECTING OUR FOREFATHERS HISTORY NOW WOYANE WANT TO PATRIOT HAHAAHAA. NO THEY(WOYANE) CAN’T BE!!!!
    BUT THEY WANT ETHIOPIANS TO BE PATRIOT AND FIGHT ERITREA AND OTHERS JUST LIKE THE DID THE LAST TIME. THEN, AFTER THEY MAKE SURE ALL THEIR ENEMY DISAPPEARED BY THE COST OF OUR PEOPLE BLOOD THEY START S* ON OUR FLAG AGAIN JUST THEY DID !!!!!
    WOYANE!!! PLEASE STOP PLAYING DUM ON UR SELF!! PEOPLE ARE SMARTER THAN U GUYS. ETHIOPIAN KNOW BY THE SMELL “YEBEG KODA YELEBESE FOX”
    JORO LEBALEBATU BADA NEW , PEOPLE CALLING U “YEWESHET QUAT MENGEST”

  8. 1. By the way Elias, Do you know Ethiopia has 27 flags according to weyane. If you see the weyane website Ethiopia is surrounded by many flags that seem like African continent. By the way I heared one of the west African country has about to sue weyane for using their flag. According to weyane, weyane has divided all the country respect to their ethinical group and given and awarded them their own flags. Weyane’s divide and rule started by dividing the whole country as oromia, tigray, amahra, afar, and so on. All these sub contries have designated flags that is given by weyane. Anyways, I don’t exactly know which flag is going to be appear during celebration. I am hoping the main Ethiopian falg green, yellow and red has been already denied by meles 17 years ago. In addition to that the so called forien minister a representative of crime minister meles has not specified anything about the flag. So I am expecting they might are going to have a celebreation for the TPLF weyane flag. The other poor business strategy done by weyane is that these flags were made by spending million dollars, so that the TPLF officials could get their cut on the side along with the other million dollars they steal everyday. So this is a set up to make some money on the side that is orchestrated by weyane.
    Guess what? Weyane is ready to make another big money in the name of the famine that money can be generated from donor countries. Actually, weyane is already selling and distributing the Wheat that was recived from donors to his idiot caders and TPLF memebers. I say the best remedy for all these problems we have including famine, is to remove the tplf regime by any means. At this moment lets support Ginbot 7 and UDJ

  10. MR.if you come to europe you will see evry community have a flag but their hearts is one.ONE FLAGS doesnt means people are united of corse they can bee united by means of a gun others wise by right and democratic way.not like wayane play with bandiras for their political game.

  11. So what??
    This is just useless and nonsense.Ethiopians are crying, dying of hunger. Children are starving.So why spending money for nothing. That is why our ppl are starving.Guys wake up and smell the coffe.We have to eradicate this crazy government.That is the only solution.Ethiopia is giving bad names for Africa.The country we call it with 3000 years of sevilization.While other African countries with 50 and 60 years old are having good development and better democracy.

  12. Our flag is the one with LION, not the one good for nothing. I respect and die for a flag which respects my right, and dignity. NO THANK YOU MELES KEEP IT FOR YOUR SELF.

  14. this must be the most cruel joke!!! u want to celebrate a flag while 5 million children starve to death??? oh my God, that’s the biggest insult to the ethiopian children in particular and a disgrace to africans as a whole. What sort of mixed message would the ever starving “nation” ethiopia be sending to the world by celebrating a flag??????

    Besides more than half of “ethiopians” don’t even have a respect to this flag pictured above. The oromos, ogadenis, tigrays and sidams all have their own flags.

  16. please let us make it clear for woyanne’s that the Ethiopian flag is ” Green yellow red” not with star in the middel of it or ”teletafi neger” . we have to tell the ethiopian peopple that if they get any flag with star on the middle of it to return it back to woyanne /

    i hate when i see that star on my beutifull ethiopian flag /

  17. Weyane is doing this,as usual to divert our attention from the main struggle that could lead the downfall of TPLF 17th years fashist regime. Woyane aressted Tedy Afro,sold Ethiopians huge farmland to Sudan,punishing harshly 16 million ethiopians by TPLF made starvation,etc the lists could be very long. So we ethiopians must united NOW to bring down Meles & his corp dictator regime. Don´t give a damm about Woynnes bullshit joke,”FLAG DAY”.Let us we join & support UDJ & Gibot 7.
    Ethiopia shall be FREE from setanu weyane & diablosu Meles Zenawi SOON !!!!!
