Elias are read this article? please read before post on the website.
Today’s Washington Post has an article mentioning that Sudan’s leader is about to be charged for genocide.
To the TOP_CAT called abebe you get lost, you are NOT in ENA,here is ETHIOPIANREVIEW. check which website you are commenting before you post ..
If this court is true court and objective, it should invastigating meles zenawi who is personally responsible for genocide in Gambella, elsewhere and crimes against humanity in Ethiopia. This court is an instrument for the west to crack down on those who refuses to bow down on their knees for their supremacy.
It is a useful organization, I could say fale institution.
Abebe you are right!
It has no negative connotation to Meles. It is stupid mentality of you guys to look all the time for hate related news. You better rewrite the news and say the Int’l Criminal Dpty Prosecutor is going to arrest Meles. Then, I will have my break to read your news.
We need peace and security, not ‘Bere Welede’ type of news!
Stop and think if you can really contribute to the betterment of Ethiopia, be it by removing Meles or whoever you may is an obstacle to the most important peace and security of the people. But one thing has to stop: personal motivations…. Afterwards, I can be part of the process otherwise….
If Bashir of the Sudan is charged with genocide and crime against humanity, then, Meles will be the perfect candidate for the same cime or even more. The genocide for which Bashir is charged of was not commited by his own security forces under is command, but by a group of armed men. He might have given them some support which makes him indirectly responsible for the crime. But in the case of Meles the security forces that commited the massacre and other abuses were under his direct command which makes him more guilty than Bashir. You cannot charge criminals selectively. The law should apply to all.
It will start with Albeshire and others follow!!!!
it is time now coming in their door step the tyrants are shake by saying me be me tomorrow. the international persecutor is hunting African criminal like ali bahar from Sudan. this guy is the most radical racist person arming Arab miles ha against black Sudanese. now, time has come to hunt the most criminal African gang, and they deserve it
When is elias going to be prosecuted for having the potential to commit genocide.
i wonder about the western countries when their puppet like melese do the worest crime they keep silent. Imagene besides the crimes done at home, the somalis murdered, women raped, religious people their throat cut like animals. what can you say all these evil deeds is supprted by int’l human right organization with evidence, nothing happened. We live in this fake world. No justice. Rule of the jungles. When does GOD will give his judjment to these criminals. the world society is helpless. I don’t know what is to be done.
Pleas, Mrs. Bensouda charge the criminal meles, “the prime minister of Ethiopia”.
The International Criminals Courts must first condemn and bring to justice the real people who are creating havoc in the world.
These people , the west, have committed serious crimes against other people.
The ICC is a tool of the west.They could not care less for the brutalized Darfurians. They are coming after Bashir because the were told by the west.
They will not go after Meles because the West won’t let them.
If anybody is going to bring Banda meles and his Banda stooges to justice it has to be Ethiopians.
