Misled Ethiopians apologize for marching with Woyanne

Posted on , Updated on by EthiopianReview.com

A group of Ethiopians who took part in the Woyanne fake march in Washington DC last Thursday have expressed deep regret and offered their heartfelt apology to the people of Ethiopia and Ethiopians in the Washington Metro Area after finding out the real objective of the march and who were behind it.

Some of the individuals were brought from Ohio and other states and had been misinformed that the march was organized by a coalition of all Ethiopian civic and political groups in DC. When they arrived at the demonstration site they were shocked to see the ugly Woyanne flag all over the place and Solomon Tekalign singing about Meles Zenawi’s eyebrows. They later found out that the whole thing was financed by Abinet Gebremeskel, Al Amoudi’s assistant, and coordinated by Woyanne cadres and thugs.

One of the individuals who expressed regret is named Fikru (click here to read about him).

Addis Dimts Radio’s Sunday program has a segment on both the Woyanne fake march and the protest rally in front of Chinese embassy that was organized by Ethiopians in the DC area on Thursday. Click below to listen.

Disappointed by the low turnout, Negussie Woldemariam of YeHod Fiker Radio on his Sunday program asked the Woyanne regime to confiscate land and houses given to those Ethiopians in the Washington DC area who have failed to attend the rally.

  2. In comparison to the above article, do you still think posting video and pictures of inocent Ethiopians was a good idea? I prefer and I also believe that we start to learn to respect the right of citizens.

  3. Did you guys hear what the Woyane controlled TV said about the TPLF organized parade of a few Woyane parasites?It said, “Thousands of Ethiopians demonstrated in Washington DC in support of the 2002 democratic election in Ethiopia.” Oh, boy! How these thugs kill and lie is mind boggling. Their entire life is based on lie and deception. I do know what kind of society we will have by the end of the Woyane regime.

  4. tzbi you are right there a press freedom. Who hold you in the nose to watch it? The important part of the freedom of the press is if you want watch it at the same time if you don’t don’t watch it. It is simple as that.

  5. Insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expect different results.
    Elias, you are fighting your own conscious and can not win. The fact that you put a video of the people who happen to ‘support’ the government’s stance on Nile issue, however misguided it is on their part makes you the most undemocratic and most veil of all. Even worse than anything that i have ever seen.

  6. Elias can you please find the people who went to the TPLF demonstration who are being misled by TPLF cadres to report for voice of America and German amharic radio services, please find the people to do it and it will be another head ache for TPLF please work on it and ask the people to give interview for Voice of America and German Amharic service. in addition please ask Ethiopian or other lawyers if there is an American law is broken. Because I do not think you can buy a person’s time with money to demonstrate behalf of someone in order to fulfil someone’s interest, because these people do not pay tax for the benefit they received. Which is not legal according to the USA law whatever you recevied you must report please do not miss this channce if posible let the Washington post and New York times and all medias must know this coraption contact Abebe Belew ask these people to contact Voice of America and German Amharic service. Thank you.

  7. Dear mr. anonymous, where is the insanity? You came out supporting woyane’s agenda in public and your image was posted on the internet. are you ashamed of being seen as a woyane supporter? If that is the case, then talk to your own soul. otherwise, your accusation of elias’s fairness is misplaced. You sound like some body who has been eating with ” hulet Bela”. It is high time that you choose your side. Nineteen years is too long to stay hidden.

  9. I applaud these people who came out clean cos they have been misled by this cancer Woyane. the job of a reporter is to report the news and ER thanks.

  10. mindinew tarik hulu tegelebabete?
    sew endesew menor endet yaktewal?hodamnet beka bahil lihon new ende? betam new yegeremegn.i’m very sad of those ppls who live with this big greed in them.

  11. Those who claimed to have been misled are victims of their own obsession. It was this kind of obsession that made them beat the drum to fight Eritrea at Badme on the side of TPLF. We have to chill off and think calmly before plunging ourselves into such trap. I feel, the same thing will be repeated by others if not by those who claim to be misled until we disentangle ourselves from biased preoccupation.

  12. Elias, I think you get even more desperate. I don’t get your point. I am for Ethiopia and against a one-rule of Woyane, but you guys seem to be worst than the Woyane and Dergue when it comes to freedom of speech. Elias, I was never been you sympathizer, but now I am your opponent. Messele

  13. I fully agree with the posting of Stoned Peter above.
    There must be a way to challenge these hodams legally. For example the name of the fagot who fully covered the expenses of the woyane demo participants from Indianapolis is BISRAT GEBREMESKEL (ABINET’s BROTHER). This guy is living a very extravagant life style beyond his means. He paid $300 for each paricipant in addition to their travel and accomodation expenses. We need to report to IRS about him and his cronies. We can challenge him whether or not he imports the money legally and whether or not he is reporting all his income when he file his taxes.

  14. Dear Woyane supporters,

    You can’t have the cake and eat it the same time.
    I do believe one can support whatever one wishes (E.g. Solomo Tekalign supports TPLF).
    But, one cannot expect to remain annonymous and/or be treated the same way as before.
    It looks to me that, the Woyane supporters marched on the fake ‘Nile March’ to appease WOYANE, and get some payback (e.g. land or some other benefit) or are aready benefiting from the gvt one way or the other.
    But these same people live in the US/Canada/EU by applying political assylum claiming their life is in danger if they return.
    Their strategy is to benefit from both sides, that is why i said YOU CAN’T HAVE THE CAKE AND EAT IT THE SAME TIME!

  15. APPOLOGY ACCEPTED . IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER MOST ETHIOPIANS HAVE BEEN MISLED BY WOYANE & CO. ONEWAY OR THE OTHER ,IN THEIR LIFETIME. SOME CONTINUE TO BE MISLED WHILE OTHERS REPENT AND STAND WITH THE TRUTH. THE QUESTION THAT LIES FOR ETHIOPIANS IS?ARE WE STANDING WITH THE TRUTH AND ARE WE READY TO MAKE UP FOR THE WASTED TIME AND RESOURCES OR ARE WE GOING TO JUST CONTINUE IN OUR OLD FOOLISHNESS WAY AND CONTINUE TO BE MISLED?MAY WE MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION.

  16. Messele

    Freedom of speech? You wrote what you like. Some people gathered to support WOYANE. So what is your problem if Elias, writes about the event and Ethiopians reaction? You are one of WOYANE thug I guess.

  17. #11 Messele! We will be glad to see your picture next time. If you support the assassins, do it openly. It will be also fair for Elias to post it on his website.

  19. Elias,
    misled Ethiopians? are you sure they were misled? these people are nothing but hodams. i am glad their picture were posted so now all the Ethiopian people know their true color.

  21. Wedi tegrai:

    I thought we hate Woyane for revoking our basic human rights
    and to speak and disagree. I belive as human beings all of us our
    own opinion on diffrent subjects.
    So, if I have a diffrent opinion on how We approach things, then I am a woyane, is it?
    So, where is the diffrence between you and the non Ethiopian Woyane?
    You both will want to kill or accuse if one disagrees to your ideas.

    I hope the rest of party members have got a diffrent attitude than yours, otherwise we will go back to the drawing board.

    Unless we start to accept positive critisism and act on things,
    we will never get anywhere.

    Wouldn’t it be better to win peoples heart by explaining and educating them, instead of outlawing them because they don’t agree
    to your philosophy’s and ideas?

    I’m still waiting to see an Ethiopian leader who puts his country
    and people first.

    As an Ethiopian I feel rejected by the current woyane govt and
    scared to tell the oppsing parties my ideas and disagreements
    as you have “either u r with us or not” policy.

    Since you are trying to bring change to our beloved Ethiopia,
    at least try to be diffrent from the woyane govt. Otherwise it
    wouldn’t be a change it will be a replcement of the same kind

    And I hope u know the diffrence.

  24. Elais & his alikes there is nobody misled.Most of these people are adults.They are respossible for what they done. I believe everything in your websight are just made by yourself & staff
    You are working hard by intimidating people who where at the demonstration.I thought you & your staff are working hard for democracy.What happen to your believes & princepiles? Are you trying to dictate your fellow citizens?
    You are losing your credibility & everything is getting out of control.

  25. elias,
    thank you so much for your articulate and brief analysis that is supported by a great gramattical way and expression.

    w/ro Nigsite of ye hode fiker radio didnt realize that how much people hates him around washington dc metro while he is always talking his childish way garbegge in support of weyane. while the fact of the matter is that people like nigussie and lidetu assume that they can fool ethiopians just because they endlessly talk while ethiopians reached to the point that weyane is the ever worst enemy that needs to removed as soon as possible.

  26. We know Woyane his trick and I and my hole familie were home and I am happay about that.I and my wife have a big land and house in Akakik na Kera area and we are alwayes in Addis.how can knowes this chicken head woyane were we live?How many Ethiopians are in USA now days and how can contraol us this empty head woyane with his poor tecnologi?We can lure woyane always and then we came after him and crosse his Anbeta head.

  27. OMG! I would have been furious, to say the least, if I were one of those guys who were duped and tricked by TPLF members, and wasted my valuable time and money to come to DC and ended up supporting the most hated man and the killer of my fellow Ethiopians, Meles. I feel awful for the vulnerable true sons and daughters of Ethiopia, who got fooled and lied to by Meles supporters. I cannot even to start to imagine their anger and frustrations. I would have raised hell and bunched one of the soulless individuals. I am curious, how long it took the true Ethiopians to realize that this march was organized by the murderer supporters? Did the Ethiopians continue to march, or did they stop as soon as they saw that ugly Woyane flag that is socked with the blood of innocent Ethiopians?
    Elias, I hope you find out the truth how the Ethiopians from Ohio and other places were manipulated, tricked and misled. Can they sue the organizer of Meles supporters?

  28. #23, you have no clue what it means to have good moral principles. You and the likes who support the killer of Ethiopian people—don’t have a high moral ground to insult others of not having moral principles. 75 million Ethiopians will never forgot what Meles has done to our people and our country.

    I am sure, you and the likes, have forgotten what your boss has done to Ethiopia/ns, but, thank God for Elias Kifle for having Woyanes Crimes in Archives. Here is the link to help you remember the unforgettable horrendous crimes that have been committed on our people and our country:

  31. Elias you sure need some Psyc meds. You are going crazy. Any person who reads your website will think that it is written by a mad man. You are full of hatered and rage.You can go kill Meles personaly or kill yourself, but do not act like you are politician and dream that people will concider you as a politican leader.You do not have anithing to do with politics. It is all about your personal problem.

  32. Maki, you are simply laughable!I suggest, you need to get out of your comfort zone, and talk to some real Ethiopians before you open your Woyane mouth, You are a total idiot!

  33. # 32/Anonymous, you are stupid yourself to think that only supporters of Elias are Ethiopians. What are you going to say about the > 10,000 people who came out to support woyane’s victory in Addis? They are Chinese?

  34. Our politics is getting worse because of the uninformed diasporas. more than 90% of the Ethiopian diaspora are illitrate and could not learn the manifestations of democracy even though they lived 30 years in USA.Since they have no life and lost any hope, politics becomes their life then they complicate the life of our people just by magnifying the very little knowledge they have. Am sure there will no peace in Ethiopia as far as the ignorat diaspora talks the non sense.Infact the pro eritrea Elias kinfle and Tesfaye G.ab will do their assignment effectively.

  35. #33MAKI
    you said 10,000 people came to support Woyane well u are wright 10,000 Woyane out of 85 million people who want Woyane eliminated.

    Maki you are a complete moron.
