During the past five years, the Woyanne ruling junta has systematically taken over the Ethiopian Sports Federation in North America (ESFNA) through bribery and other scheme. As a result, the organization has become a tool for the ruling party and a source of embarrassment for the Ethiopian community in N. America. This year concerned members of ESFNA have started to take measures to take back their organization. They came up with a set of measures, including 1) hire an independent CPA to audit ESFNA finances, 2) invite Judge Birtukan Mideksa, a former prisoner of conscience, the first Ethiopian woman to head a major political party, and a prominent judge who fought to assert the independence of the judiciary in Ethiopia, as a guest of honor at the next annual event.
As expected, the individuals who have sold out ESFNA to Woyanne have violently opposed both plans. Apparently, having Birtukan, a person whom Woyanne tried to humiliate, as a guest of honor is unacceptable to the Woyanne servants. So after the majority of the board voted in favor of inviting Birtukan, they forced the chairman to try to invalidate the vote. They also threatened to physically attack board members who proposed the plan. The spineless chairman’s action angered the board members and many walked out in protest. A few hours later, Ethiopian Review reported what had transpired at the board meeting.
The Woyanne servants (ashkeroch) led by Eyaya Arega and Fassil Abebe went on a propaganda offensive to try to defuse the public anger that was caused by their attempt to void the board’s vote. Their action also opened the Pandora’s Box. The media has started to shine light on ESFNA. What is now being uncovered is appalling. Eyaya and gang not only sold ESFNA to Woyanne for crumbs, they have also made the organization their personal cash cow at the expense of the 27 teams that make up the association. (Ethiopian Review is continuing to investigate the corruption inside ESFNA.)
The heat is on
The ESFNA teams are considering to withdraw their association, and the next annual event that is scheduled to be held in Atlanta in July 2011 is facing an imminent boycott. The looming threat of losing ESFNA prompted Woyanne propaganda chief Berket Simon to intervene directly on behalf of his agents by publishing a 5-page attack piece on his recently launched web site, Ethiochannel.net.et (click here [or here] to read) and laugh.

It is because the traffic volume from Ethiopian Review crashed Ethiochannel. The article can be access here: http://www.ethiopianreview.info/2010/ethiochannel-272W3News.pdf
THE LIES AND LIERS HAVE NO MORAL AUTHORITY TO WITH STAND THE TRUTH. I APPLAUD THE ETHIOPIAN REVIEW FOR ITS ACCURATE INFORMATION AND COURAGE TO FOLLOW THE ETHICS OF JOURNALISM- PRESENTING NEWS WHICH ARE BETTED, INVESTIGATED AND BASED ON FACTS. KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB.
First, we need to secure an evidence that shows that the majority of the board voted in favor of inviting Birtukan. It could be audio/video from those who voted in favor or some kind of official document.(homework to ethiopianreview) Once we have that we can use it to ask people to boycott if the lawless leaders don’t get their acts together.
We cannot lose this battle! I don’t think I need to explain how big of a political tool the ogranization could be to EPRDF. We have to be twice as aggresive as they are. We have to be willing to go as far as splitting ESFNA and fully expose those who only care about themselves and not the future of our country.
How can this idiot talk about the unity of Ethiopia and Ethiopians, when he is one of the architects of Kilil. Ethiopians all over except for the few hodams, know full well what Bereket, his accomplices and the extent of their crimes against Ethiopia. I hope to see Meles, Bereket and the rest of the bandits stand trial for crimes against humanity.
It is all truth. Especially, the one they wrote about Elias Kifle is they hit the nail on the head. He is a shabiya sold out and a mouthpiece of Afewerki and trying to destroy the fabric of Ethiopia at the name of free press.
He is paid from wedi afom and working for Shabiya most of diaspora are well aware of these facts.
Thanks Elias, Good job….whatever they said the truth will prevail … don’t worry we Ethiopians knows the truth very well…weyanes always think like their Devil Melese…..
God Bless Ethiopia!!
I was flabbergasted when I read Bereket Simon’s name . If this five pages was writeen by Bereket Simon, the Tplf/EPLF bosses are dominating and infiltrating any viable oranizations . Like any organization ESFNA is not immune to corruption and splinter groups . Besides, no one likes to hear from the belligerent and demagogues of TPLF/EPLF . What is next is to organize the opposition partys under the ” Auspices ” of the TPLF/EPLF ethinic juntas .
we Ethiopian are behind with you Elias. by this issue you are 100% coorect. how come Berkaet or woyane told us about Shabiye for Ethiopian? who was afriend of Shabyia? need Excuitive meember are need money and they have businness in Ethiopia, we Ethiopian are boycott those hodame bussiness, like in Dc Laliabla resturant that owned by Taye. Arwite have been here for 2 years , that beated Reporter news paper woner Amare. he is a friend of Andenat with 2 days he escape from Ethiopia that cover by Alamudia.before we will talk about boycoott why don’t goood board memeber do something? also 10 team will go Addis Ababa that cover by Alamudia that is why some of board memeber are like sillent. they have to say someting if not one day they will be criminal like Ayaye, Taye and sooon.
# 3 Ketema,
I am not here by any means to defend Elias; this is just to respond to your comment. I see a big hypocrisy in your comment.
You said, ”He is a shabiya sold out and a mouthpieces” my friend no other than Melese/Beraket who is a mouthpieces to Iss-Ass, these two guys and their like destroy Ethiopian more than any other person on this earth. How dare you talk about been sold out while you know that the bloodsucker Shabiya lives in middle of Addis and destroy that nation every single day passing? People like you make me sick… I have a million things I disagree with Elias, but I will not comparing him with the people who you guys love and worship…
What a shame Article Bereket!
There is always up & down in any organization. Any problem could be solved
by discussions amoung ESFNA members.
What is Shabia to do with ESFNA? Is this a joke?
Eyaya Arega please, speak up & tell your supporters to stop mixing things……….
I KNOW FOR SURE THAT ESFNA IS A SOURCE OF TPLF USA DOLLARS CURRENCY.
ONE OF TPLF DAUGHTER CAME AS A STUDENT VISA AND ESFNA EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBEBER PAY HER COLLEGE TUTION AND THE DAD PAID THE MONY TO HIM IN ETHIOPIA TO BULD A HOUSE.
I CAN NOT GIVE THE DETAIL BECAUSE IT UNDER IRS INVESTIGATION.
WHY DO YOU THINK ETHIOPIAN AIRLINES AND SHARTON ADDIS SPONSER ESFNA ?
IT IS UNDER THE GROUND DOLLAR TRANSFER FOR ESFAN.
To Ketema: Ante Gegema!Who said the respected Ethiopian Elias Kifle get paid by shabiya? Mr Elias is a hard working Ethiopian who loves his country and his people.He is purely exposing the crime family of the ruling party. So please stop talking nonsense.Mr Elias don’t be discourage by any of these morons and keep doing what you are doing.Peace..!
It surely is a laughable article.
I particularly found the full-page tirade(end of page 2 – end of page3) about “Shaebia” very curious.
I had been following Ethiopian Review’s postings regarding ESFNA and the Birtukan Mideksa controversy. I don’t remember “Shaebia” being a part of any of that. The feigned admiration for the ESFNA, its members, and Ethiopians in North America didn’t do much to conceal the all too evident bitterness about Eritreans and “Shaebia” the article’s writer harbors.
To the writer, I say: Thank you for giving us all something to laugh at. Keep up the good work – satire.
Ok guys.. I can’t authenticate if this crap is written by the head of the Ministry or Information, but if it has then it is just a bunch of bull crap. What does a corrupt Woyane official has to do with anything that is going here in America unless he is worried sick? As if it is not enough with what he is doing in Ethioia, this despot Woyane now wants to dictate us here in America? I think this the beginning of the end of Woyane regime. And since now they seem to have a hand in the upcoming Atlanta toruanment, it predicting an empty stadium with a handlful Woyane cadres and innocent Amhara bystanders… Woyane will be defeated when Ethiopians are UNITED… Keep it up!!!
It is an utter insult for some one to extend an argument that centers around an assassination of a character, and then to rush to reach an end. Ethiopian politics is full of this old futile garbage, and as such were ubutiquous back by the Dergue regime, now by the GoE cadres, and even in some of the naive opposition parties, etc. Rather, it is appealing, empowering, worthy, healing to extend for an argument that is based on some core principles. It is sickening to learn that how supposedly prominent leaders of our community fell trap to such short sighted, cheap, unintelligent, demeaning, undermining, ill judging, unsophisticated, naive, shallow, so on undertakings. In the present case, I see a painting that surrounds about that the devil, the wrath, the wretched, the no no no go zone, the killer, the venom, the conspirator, the backer, the architect, the uncompromisable, the secluded, the fascist, the Nazi, the ill, the sick, the the the … end of all argument to the destruction of Ethiopia is the Eritrean regime, etc, etc. The main draw backs of such ill or sick arguments is that they are the recipe to stifle, dis-power, deny anyone, with a good heart to the motherland Ethiopia, to unearth our main problem. In the wake of 20002 Ethiopian election all this ill descriptions were bestowed to the Somali fighters, and recently another fresh one is unravelling to Egypt, etc. etc.
Take for instance, the editor of this website ventured to know the earlier ill regime, traveled to Eritrea, interviewed the leader, extended the benefit of the doubt for such badly painted number one enemy of Ethiopia. Thanks for Elias venture, we now know how the Eritrean leader thinks, reasons, describes, analyzes. We are better off by knowing the Eritrean leader more, than not. Whatever, our stand, we can now make an educated and informed decision about the Eritrea, than before the editor’s venture. MIND YOU, Not only us but I bet even the Ethiopian government security advisor is better off by knowing the Eritrean regime. For instance, I read the other day that the Eritrean leader spend his time tinkering with wood and timber, what an unhealthy habit for a leader!!, an info supposedly unveiled by his defected body guard (a joke). Didn’t I hear this bad habit of the Eritrean leader in Elias interview, oh sorry I don’t know which one dates back the other, Elias interview or the body guards defection, soo sorry!
So my main point is please let us not suffocate ourselves with inane, cheap, myopic arguments, rather let ourselves to venture, to unravel, and to attack our one and only one enemy, IGNORANCE. If we beat the IGNORANCE, the rest is history.
This guy, Ketema, is ignorant. What are you going to say about all the bloggers here that are over 99% of the time who are against Weyane. Are they t the Shabia followers too? Why do you think The Ethiopian people are discontented with your corrupted regime? I guess your answer is that most Ethiopians are Shabia followers. You are the most ignorant and arrogant at the same time. The actual truth is that you get some money to say what you are saying right now and trying to play reverse psychology with your ignorant ass mentality. Get lost!
If the Bandaw Berket showed his fake love for Ethiopia as an Eritrian national for sure these Bandas are in to something no good; confireming the federation is in crises.
Lets not get in to the trap of Woyanes, the fact remains Woyane will never rest until it finsh its dirty job.
The best thing to do is to expose the Bandas in the mist. Alamudi’s stooges should be forced to come in pubblic to explain what the mission they are given.
Slepless in Asemra and Alexandria. Elias, dec 15 is coming… you have a couple of days to aplogize or provide your evidence. I bet you don’t have the guts to post this post. Plus here is a little video about you and your gang.. enjoy..
Why would to sactrifice ESFNA when it is absolutely possible and to purge the two woyanai agents from ESFNA?
Bereket is a fool and a filthy drop.
Catastrophic. Woyane is in every angle and way of the Ethiopian survival. In the article posted by Ethiopchanal I was surprised about the critic of Elias article of people feeding on Garbage. I live out of Addis and, When I was in Addis around two or so months before, i observed lot of street people was shocked and frustrated. After few weeks I read the article about people feeding on trash. So the Ethiochanal article is defiantly one of a type written by the woyane insiders probably of the meles/bereket team. All the wording and the politics smells their mouth.
So ESFNA is now by Woyanes and the question is What is better for Ethiopians now?
Wochew gud aluu Ato Aklilu.
Memo from Bereket,
To bring unity to ESFNA, we plan to organize it as follows:
The Tigrai Democratic Sports Federation of North American
The Amhara Democratic Sports Federation of North American
The Oromo Democratic Sports Federation of North American
The Hadiya Democratic Sports Federation of North American
The Somali Democratic Sports Federation of North American
The Benishangul Democratic Sports Federation of North America
… and more
The fact that the bloody hands, heartless, looters Bereket Simon and TPLF/EPRDF getting involved openly with ESFNA should be the last draw for Ethiopians to boycott ESFNA.
OMG! Unbelievable! Ante assekeyami woyane criminal Berket, who are you trying to fool? Why don’t talk about the innocent Ethiopians you massacred? Why don’t you talk about the fertile land you have given to foreigners? Why don’t you talk about how you robbed the country and got rich? Why Don’t talk about the hundreds and hundreds of innocent Ethiopians who are still rotting in jail? Why don’t talk about why you took the land of Gondar and Wollo? Why don’t talk about the genocide you committed? Why don’t talk about the 15 million Ethiopians who are expected to die of starvation? You have no room to talk about UNITY. We know! You have been dividing and abusing Ethiopians for the last two decades.
Only uninformed people like Solomon Tekalegne and mentally challenged individuals believe your propaganda filled message. We know you have been doing everything under the sun to divide Ethiopians in ethnic groups and religion. We don’t trust you. We will never forget that you and your criminal friends are responsible for torturing and murdering hundreds of thousands innocent Ethiopians and giving our land to Sudan and other countries. Don’t waste your rotten time on us, you are not trustworthy. Get lost leba!
It just goes to show you it was after all the drama kink Bereket all along, through his few enablers inside ESFNA, who has been calling all the shots? The question is now, what are we going to do about it? We should think about it long and hard how to reply to Bereket, not through cheap talk but by the concrete and tangible action that we take about the Wayane hijacked ESFNA? We hold the key, the very key that would make the big mouth mafia Berekert to STFU!
Recapture ESFNA by all means necessary. Waste no time, for it is part of our social life and soul.
Death to Woyanne!!! Long live ESFNA!!!
Let them say whatever but How can Bereket Simon be more Ethiopian than lias Kifle?
We need to throw thoese 2 hodam coacoroches from ESFNA, and keep going with the invitation of our nation hero Birtukan. I am from Tigray supporter of TPDM and against Woyanne, I love to see all Ethiopians to be unite including Tigrayans, but not woyannes cadres and hodamoch, and fight in any means this Dictator.
By the way I support the outstanding job done by Elias, Thank u man, for exposing this rug regime….
I will not add anything on #17 which gives us the medication for our pain and #18 summarized for us how to take the medication. Fox stop crying and bluffing let US take action
Elias, woyanne and supporters and sympathizers are all sub humans and are still on their evolution ,if you think of their boss the dedebit chimp take all archieves starting from day one in Ethiopian capital addis taking his jungle history to the real and true Ethiopian G/medhin Araya and tell me a single situation where he say the truth then you can imagine about those little chimps like arega,fasil,ethio channel ,And Ethiopia, solomon tekalegn who are enjoying the hand out from the stolen Ethiopian money. Having said that, Elias dont spend your precious time on these illiterate and very primitive liars.
Whatelse can we expect from this spineless chairman but to turn his back on the people and side with Woyane.
This kind of behavior is what made Woyane what it is now. This Hodam Kefetam KIRILLA TELAZGE is following Hailu Shawel , Lidetu Ayalew , Alamoudi etc and trying to silence the North American Ethiopians by suffocating them with his VETO power. They might try but Kirila Telazge is no much for the Kurt Ken Lijoch.
In the Land of Sheba: A Pilgrimage to Ethiopia
North to Negash
By Eliza Griswold Posted Tuesday, Dec. 14, 2010, at 7:14 AM ET
NEGASH—In 615, when the Prophet Mohammed was attacked by his own people, he had to flee Mecca. His sermons were threatening the power of the Quraysh, so the tribe wanted him, his family, and his followers killed. Mohammed fled to the Arabian town of Yathrib, 210 miles from Mecca. Today, the town is known as Medina, the Prophet’s city. To reach Negash, I hopped a predawn flight north from the capital of Addis to the trading town of Mekele, renowned for its salt market. Ethiopia once supplied much of East Africa with salt. The Afar people—Muslim nomads who manage to survive in one of the hottest places on earth, the Danakil Depression in northeast Ethiopia—have traveled to Mekele for centuries with salt strapped to backs of their camels. Having never seen a salt caravan, I’d looked forward to the romance of miles of salt-encrusted beasts. Mekele is also the place where I am to meet a driver who will ferry me 50 miles north to meet whoever is left of the seventh-century settlement at Negash. To my disappointment, on arriving in Mekele I learned that the salt caravans I’d imagined are largely a relic of the past. Thanks to the newly built Chinese road, the Afar people now truck their salt most of the way to town from the Danakil Depression. Yonas, the driver I’d hired through a Roman hotelier (who owns the stunning stone Gheralta Lodge, where I will be staying) feels my disappointment keenly. To cheer me, he insists we visit the palace of the 19th-century Emperor Yohannes, a precursor to the most famous and final of Ethiopia’s kings, Haile Selassie. Thanks to its European architect, the palace looks and feels like a Swiss hunting lodge, except for mud crenellations, a mahogany throne, and the emperor’s leopard skin. The latter functioned as the emperor’s cloak in times of peace; his saddle in times of war, I am told. We marvel at a musket with a golden trigger, a gift from Queen Victoria. The massive bronze head of Mussolini sits in an upstairs window as a nod to the fascist’s brief flirtation with Africa. “May I show you the emperor’s personal toilet?” The guide asks in a hushed tone. He opens a door in the throne room onto a second-story wooden privy. We peer into the seat’s 20-foot drop. In glass cases, there are thousands of Ethiopian hand crosses: elaborate latticework crucifixes that priests and kings carry to show their devotion and legitimize their power. Most of the crosses are marked conspicuously with typed index cards naming the European museum that has recently returned them to their rightful owners in Ethiopia. On our way out of town, Yonas, a spindly ethnic Tigrayan, begins to shout, “A salt caravan!” He gestures madly as I scan the horizon for the stenciled shapes of the hundreds of beasts I’ve been waiting to see. Instead, about 500 feet ahead of us on the road, two dozen tired camels lope forward, bound to one another by a length of dirty rope. Knee-high donkeys swarm around them, bucking like rambunctious schoolboys walking home. The camels and donkeys carry white flour sacks stuffed with grass: their food. The camel driver is not Afar, I can see, because he is not a Muslim. From the silver cross that flashes on his neck when he waves at our passing truck, I gather that he is a Christian. “Oh, everyone has camels nowadays, Christians and Muslims, the people of Tigray, and the Afar people,” the driver says. We drive on, heading north on the China Road, toward Ethiopia’s war-torn border with its enemy Eritrea. The latter is a relatively new country; Eritrea only declared its independence from Ethiopia in 1993 after a bloody civil war. Although the two nations are still fighting over the border between them, there’s no evidence of strife: no soldiers, no checkpoints. Instead, the land around us is biblical: smudged, pastel escarpments with an occasional handful of whitewashed houses to suggest the passage of the last 2,000 years. Then ahead of us, I see a single, 30-foot-high minaret shingled in green tile. Here is Negash, but the place looks deserted. We park and wonder for a moment where everyone is. Then I notice thousands of shoes on the mosque’s porch. It’s Friday, of course, and I’d forgotten that the residents, who still trace their lineage back to Mohammed’s first followers, would be engaged in midday prayer. We have to wait. Finally, men stream from the doors of the large, shining mosque. Two elderly gentlemen approach. After visiting hundreds of mosques over the last seven years, I am used to all manner of greetings. Not all have been warm, but from the smiles on the faces of the approaching men, this one promises to be. The first introduces himself as Sheik Ahmed Adam, the leader of this community of 600 Muslims. He is 58 but looks much closer to 90. The sheik is accustomed to unexpected visitors. He welcomes me into the large, glittering mosque, which was built in 2003 by an Ethiopian billionaire, Sheik Mohammed Hussein Al Amoudi. Then we cross the dirt compound, passing through a yard of ancient-looking gravestones, toward another, smaller mosque. Who is buried here? Oh, the early followers, he replies. Yes, the sheik says, some of his people can trace their lineage to the first 15 followers who arrived in Africa during the seventh century: 14 men and one woman, the Prophet’s daughter. I remove a palm-size Flip video camera from my purse and begin to record their stories. Yet when I ask who among them has such a family, the story quickly grows vague. I don’t think he’s lying. We’re just suffering the shared muddiness of memory and translation. My mind is starting to feel like a failing butterfly net; trying to follow story lines is proving elusive. No matter, I think, I’ve come to write poems. The men and their histories muddle on. I grow frustrated. For better or for worse, I am trained to experience places by recording information. I am trained to write things down, to assess through the frame of a notebook. I’m trying to rely on this stupid camera—a tape recorder and camera all in one—but without a notebook open before me, I feel naked and woozy. So I pull out the notebook and pocket the Flip camera, knowing the video will be no good anyway. The sheik’s head keeps bobbing out of frame. For an old man, he moves fast. Has there been trouble here with Christians? He looks bewildered. None, he says, thanks to the express directions of their Prophet. According to the Hadith, or sayings of the Prophet, there’s an injunction against attacking Christians here. Tradition has it that Mohammed told his followers, “Leave the Abyssinians alone unless they take the offensive!” The sheik says, “In Mecca, the Prophet, peace be upon Him, had a great, great, great, war with his own people, but not here. Because he blessed us, we have had no problems. We have weddings and funerals together. We are one community.” The gentle afternoon serves as a reminder of the more than 1,500 years of peaceful history Islam and Christianity share in Africa. As we return to the car and continue north to the Gheralta Lodge, I feel my brain stretching itself around this new history. No, I think, it’s hardly new. This is ancient history new to me because much of it lies outside the American history books I was raised reading.

Elias, keep on chasing these genocidal criminals, the virus called TPLF and its associates. I can see their conscience is at absolute zero. When will they see a glimmer of their humanity? I wonder! I always wonder when! Who can tell them for me pls TOMORROW IS INEVITABLE,THAT JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL.Or doesn’t their clock tick? And they call this site “Shabian Review”,they are doing politics??? Give me a break pls
I have been traveling to this event for several years. However unless ESFANA sort this problem out I will boycot it!!! We all Ethiopians should do that.
Keep the heat on & on!
The hodams are paniking;not only they are
trying to scare you with their master’s lawyer but also they are tring to use their old tricks.ayaya & sebsebe are trying to intimidate Journalist & Board
Members by leaving a message on their answering machine to stay away from this issue or else.The only way ESFNA moves
forward is when ayaya,sebsebe,fasil,and
other hodams like them get banned for life.We want a clean ESFNA.
Yes ESFNA was established by ginune Ethiopians in the early 1980’s to get together and maintian their common identiries and build friendship. It’s intention was great and we all have participated and made the effort bigger than what its founders had anticipated. Yet once again it was done simply out of emotion and was not well established so we are reaping the result of our failure to organize and build a strong organization that is based on real and tangibles rules and code of conducts or a strong organizational bylaw that addresses the needs of insitution building. How many of us have complained about ESFNA since the early 90’s because we saw the kind of corruption and mafia behaviors. How many groups of people have sat and after each years event lamented on what we were seeing. Yet we allowed to go on because no one wanted to the responsibility of stand up and saying STOP not in our name. Well the chicken has come to roost.
Well, well ESFNA you have signed your declaration of being in the a puppet organization of Woyane “EPRDF” we have not heard your out cry that this article in no way represents the Board or the Executive’s and that you denounce it as a government ploy to divide the Diaspora even more. Your silence is defeaning and shameful. The $200,000. is doing its job. That was the reason why people questioned your willingness to accept that kind of funding from an outside source that has always had a negative impact on our community. You justified it with all sorts of glibb B.S. and we the people went along.
Now we are clearly seeing who is in control. Not the Board of Directors or the so called Executive but the Senior Chairman of the Board with his little midget – Sheik Almoudie and his whimpy slim bag Abenet. What is truly sad is that you in your greed could think that you would be able to continue to manupilate the Diaspora through your Lord Chamberline – and Ethio Channel that is run by Mimi Sebhatu and her husband/ funded by the likes of Abenet and the Sheik. Well we have been quite but not dead and you have very nicely provided us with the evidence of who you are. I realize that some of the members of the Board may be truly innocent and not fully aware of the true facts or are avoiding the matter. But fair warnning – keeping and aceeding to this kind of behavior only makes you accomplices. It is time for you to draw a line and make your positions clear.
As to the preaching of Ethio-channel about the Diaspora or Elias Kifle please no chance in other words eat crow. Ethio – channel has no moral authority to talk about the Diaspora we all know that you are an arms length of the Dictarorship of the Meles regime. We refuse to have dogs and pigs grunting at us.
To Elias Kifle, we say Bravo, you may not please all in the Diaspora but that is what journalism is all about putting it all out and you have done that for the last 19years. We all know that you are a true son of Ethiopia and have been doing your share. Keep it up and do not allow anyone to stop you from what you can.
Elias it is really high time to chase these woyanne recurits sucking ESFNA with their cocroach tentacles and parasitic move ,you dont need to have a sky rocketing psycological study to tell
that the shallow excutives does not have the moral base even to defend themselves cause they are standing on a grass covered hole alliying them (or in this case ESFNA) with the war criminal and genocider Bereket zenawi alamoudi gang
their standing for trial is not far to defend their corrupted leaders
mecheresha lay demo “chibo enlekusalen” bello arefew. andyach yelekusachew.
Elias, funny is an under-statement . It’s hillarious.
It is a typical weyane wording, especially “bewerq yetefetene”. I thought that phrase they used it only for the people of tigray they claim to represent. Now we are included in it. esey esey. doron syatalelwat…..sillu endih new. Weyane’s trade mark, every blame they shift it on shabya.
well done Elias for saving it.
We do not need some one thousends of mile awy to preach how ESFNA was crated and for what purpose. We Ethiopians who were part of the creation of the organization can talk a volume.That is why most of us who prefered to talk the truth. The only people who prefered silence at this difficult time of the organization are the past “so called elected members of the board”. The past board members are probably silent for two reason. They migh decide to stay at the side line knowing that the current leadership of the ESFNA executive committee action is way out of bound but they are comerades we do not want to add salt on their wound. If this is not the reason they are waiting at the sidline to join the winning side. In either way it clearly showed their truthfulness and character. I would like to conclude by saying the traditional quote ” tell me Your friend I know who you are”. If the past mebers are not clean for themselves it will be difficult to throw the first punch on the current leadership. Anyway time will tell.
The critical support that was provided from back home arrived at a time when their fighters were running out of energy. For the rest of us it was blessing in dis-guise. Now it is the task of current and past ESFNA board members to convince us that the organization has never had a working relation of any kind in the past. The burden of proof is on their shoulder .
