The disgraced chairman of AEUP and Kinijit, Ato Hailu Shawel, and his deputy, Ato Yakob Likie have been attacked by AEUP members at the party’s office in Addis Ababa yesterday. The 76-year-old Hailu Shawel sprinted to his car and escaped while Yakob, who couldn’t run as fast, was caught and pummeled by angry AEUP members who accused them of handing over the party to the ruling party, Woyanne.
The problem started when Hailu Shawel manipulated the AUEP election and got himself elected two weeks ago through bribery after previously announcing his retirement.
The person who was favored by most members to take over as chairman was Ato Tadios Tantu, who was not Hailu Shawel’s choice. Hailu wanted Yakob Likie to become the new chairman. When the members rejected Yakob, who is accused by AEUP activist of having close ties with Woyanne, Hailu Shawel’s employees hijacked the election process and demanded his reelection.
Hailu’s action angered most of the senior members of the executive committee, including Ato Mamushet Amare, and Wzr. Mesobework Kitaw.
During an acrimonious meeting that was held last Saturday, Mamushet Amare told Yakob, “You can inherit Hailu Shawel’s personal properties, but not AEUP.” When the meeting became hard to control, Hailu Shawel called Woyanne police and removed several senior AEUP members from the meeting.
The members who rejected Hailu Shawel’s actions and his return to AEUP held their own meeting and formed an emergency committee to be chaired by Wzr. Mesobwerk Kitaw. The emergency committee has released a statement explaining its objectives (click here to read).

That party should die, it is useless, an old-fashioned one
Wait a minute, didn’t Hailu Shawel anounce his retirment on Dutch welle along with the honorable H.E Bulcha Demksa right after the election? Oh Ethoipia, no wonder our suffering doesn’t come to an end. I think he along with the old guards of Ethiopian politics need to relinquish power to the young (men and woman who are in their 30’s), the 1974 generation has some series problem and continues to poison the future of Ethoipia. True to his word the honorable H.E Bulcha Demksa who was a true lion in the rubber stamp parlama brought honer, diginity and truth and stood for the Ethiopian people during his entire tenure as a representative of his district. I have more respect to the honorable H.E Bulcha Demksa than any one else in Ethiopian politics today. I bet the notorious banda of Adwa-Hamasien (Wedi Zenawi) is relishing the shinangin going on in the so-called ‘oppostion camp”.
There really is nothing this or that party can do for Ethiopia. Meles is instituting in effect a one man one party system even unlike China. God willing, may be those opposition groups that are actively figthing the Woyane might have a chance to liberate the people. In fact, compared to such useless parties as hailu Shawel’s , Elias Kifle has done a tremendous job in exposing the Woyane regime so much so that he is driving them crazy. may God bless you!
How should it matter, why are this people in the picture anyway, its crazy to even waste time thinking about these sold outs. We are better off with woyanne than these people, if we need a political party, it should consist people with sane mind and real nationalism attitude that never give up. Many people have proved their unwavering stance against woyanne and proved their love for their country, a new party should be formed that can bring these kind of people together, like Birtukan, Andargachew Tsige, Birhanu (if he still has it) and Elias yourself ofcourse, we need somebody like Elias from now on, as a watchdog plus as an inspiration of determination and his unrivaled hatred against woyanne, that what we need, as a matter of fact,in my personal view, I think Elias is the only person whom I will never see being a sellout, Elias, even though I am totally against your most prominent actions specially the decisions you made regarding Eritrea, I still have faith in your extreme love for your country, your skill filtering out sellouts and stubborn nature that makes you hard to hijack you. But please, label Issaya as the other face of the woyanne coin for both are cancers in the East African region.
2011 has not started on the right foot for the Ethiopian opposition and Elias has been sticking on its wound.
hailu shawel should be hunged in public as same as weyane racist memebers since he destroyed kinjit and sold out mead in favor of weyane, hailu and lidetu should face justice as same weyane criminal members when freedom comes to ethiopia.
shame on banda hailu shawel and shame on banda lidetu.
Elias:
I have followed your writings and work for a long time and it is crystal clear that you are indeed an Eritrean agent.
If people pay attention to what you write and comment on, it is always to create divisions among Ethiopians, attack prominent Ethiopians in the name of your baseless charges of “they are with Woyanne” (even Neway Debebe and Aster Awoke were not spared), and today it is Hailu Shawel – You sit your behind in America all these years and write stuff–Hailu Shawel was in the front lines in Addis facing whatever came his way to help out Ethiopians. You even went to Asmara and cozyed up with Isayas and interviewed him. You never post anything critical about Isayas or Eritreans. It is always Ethiopians that you attack pretending like you have their interest at heart. I hope gullible Ethiopians that think you are Ethiopian or that you have Ethiopia’s best interest at heart should know that your mission is always the same: Divide Ethiopians and indirectly strengthen her enemies. Why don’t you just move to the border between Ethiopia and Eritrea and fight your way to Addis instead of just adding fuel to the fire to start wars while you sit in your comfy home here in America -your Ethiopian Review is nothing but an Eritrean propaganda outlet.
Yes, i remember, he openly announced that he is retiring. The honorable Economist Bulcha Demexa kept his word and retired. Now he cahnged his mind again.
He is like Meles Zenawi, who keeps on saying “…this is my last term” but still doesn’t leave office disgracing himself among world leaders!
Good Lord!! The oppositions are working tirelessly to kill the spirit of the Ethiopia people. Ziqachoch!!! All CUD-time opposition politicians who are above 50 years old must be removed, till then there is no opposition in Ethiopia. I would rather watch Woyane’s tyrany rather than trusting these crazy losers.
it is crystal clear now who killed the aspiration of the Etgiopian people to establisf a democratic gov. Hailu is one of the two. And Mesfin W Mariam is the other one. The two cantacreous old fags are the main culprits that helped TPLF parasites to continue and suck the blood of our citizens. The power monger maggots MUST leave and young uncorrupted blood should lead the party. Hailu is no better than Meles the murderer.
Tazabi, i think Elias is Ethiopian and is focused on Ethiopia. Why do you want him to talk about Eritrea while there is too much to say in Ethiopian issue. Ohh now i know, you want him to hide the wounds of Ethiopia. Why don´t you ask him to talk about Somalia, Sudan and many other countries too. Ohhh now i know, you are someone who is obsessed with Isaias Afewerki.
Same all, same all. Dictatorship even before they take power. This is Africa. If this kind of people take power, it will be the same. Democracy African syle. One party, one leader , for life.
ITS TIME FOR THE OLD GUARD TO HANDOVER THE MANTLE TO YOUNG BLOOD. HAILU SHAWEL AND HIS FRIENDS HAVE BEEN A DISGRACE TO THE PEOPLE OF ETHIOPIA. WHEN TRUE LEADERS OF ETHIOPIA STAND UP, ALL THE OPPORTUNIST SHOULD SIT DOWN. ETHIOPIA NEED YOUNG LEADERS SUCH AS BIRTUKAN MIDEKISA AND OTHERS WHO REFUSED TO MAKE A BACK ROOM DEAL WITH THE WOYANE REGIME. ETHIOPIANS NEED NEW MOSES WHO HAVE THE ENERGY, INTELIGENCE, AND COMMITTMENT TO DELIVER THE PEOPLE FROM THIS DARK REGIME OF MELESE ZENAWI.
MY WISH AND HOPE AT THIS TIME OF ETHIOPIAN X-MASS AND EUROPEAN NEW YEAR IS TO SEE ETHIOPIA PROSPER AND SHINE IN THE WORLD.
It’s unfortunate that our struggle couldn’t move forward. This is due to the emrgence of big time traitors. Lidetu Kidetu,did unrepairable damage on the opposition and left the scene. This time in our history emerged, Hailu Shawel with a crafted mission from his Woyane bosses. Since he has no the intellegence and skill, to manipulate and understand politics. There is no difference between Mengistu Hialemariam and Hailu Shawul. Mengistu signed a paper, without due process of law and 60 ppl lost their life. Hailu, upon the release of CUD leaders signed a ppr and dismissed them all. One can imagine, had he had the power to kill, God forbid what could have happened.!!!!
Elias, thank you for being a true Ethiopian son of our days. We need more strong people like you. Hailu is no diffrent from Meles (Legesse) or Mengistu. God bless Ethiopia!!
Thank The Almighty that these groups did not win the election. What chaos would have been if they really did win!!! It could have been just like a rowdy Rap concert with fists flying, shooting, assaults with big stinking mouths blubbering and in midst of that the country could have gone asunder by now. The same goes to all those who always have excuses from coming into a united front. Because, they all have hidden, personal and very narrow agenda. They make me wish that any of them were never born. Sick!!!!!
Strength also varies in Traitors. Some HODAMS surrender in the early stages and others take long times before caving in to their HODE by betraying their people. As an example, Lidetu Ayalew is an early traitor. Now today I read another noise and I believe the so called Mesebowork Kitaw and her followers are the latest traitors. What noise are you making, who do you think believe you? At the end you started, without embarrassing, to accuse Hailu Shawel. MAFERIA HULA! Where were you while Hailu Shawol was building AEUP for decades before the 2005 election? He has a solid background of being a Golden Ethiopian. Do I or majority of Ethiopians know you at all? If you want to be a traitor, go with it. But, don’t be stupid moron, leave AEUP for its founders patriot Hailu Shawel and his party workers. Awaken Ethiopians believe Hailu Shawel. Create your own Party and show yourself!
Great Thanks Elias, for updating us this painfully thin, drugged and drunken home politics, from EPRDF viz-viz EPPF …..and now AEUP. We shouldn’t take this ridiculous issue lightly because the numeric size of the problem is explicable as far as the existence of the desperately desperate AEUP takes.
Concerning this shamelessly conflict of AEUP, it seems for me a necessary evil to ban ‘Hailu Shawel’ from the hidden and unusual position he located himself. Fairly enough to say this man is not a good politician who played high league moreover his analysis about ‘Woyane politics’ is remarkably small and intended to serve one way or another the political interest of Zenawi’s regime. Personally, I have insecure feelings of his political leadership and direction, the very least we have witnessed him post 2005 election, how he became the cause for dismantling ‘Kingit’ along with ‘Woyane’ support.
I do not know how best this conflict ought to be handled but this is the right time W/o Mesibork and her collages need a political decision than ever before to save AEUP. Till then, you should keep Hailu on a short leash, because he might not be afraid to commit all kinds of absurdity as his previous bad reputation tells us
1000 kings,weyane will enjoy. it’s sad for us, they can’t agree with any things,
hailu shawel = Meles Zenawi
Elias kifle you are a useless cockroach and a piece of shit. You are a disgrace a traitor to Ethiopians. They executed 17 Ethiopian eppf fighters last year and you did your best to censor the news. You have put the lives of many Ethiopians at high risk, by pushing them to go to Eritrea where they now are at the mercy of shabia. You foolish dog barking your lies and bullshit sitting on your fat mcdonalds fed ass in washington acting as if you are a patriot and warrior even if you hide away in dc. I have never seen a more backstabbing poisonous snake who bites it’s mother country than you wedi Elias kiflom. God will punish you for what you have done in putting the life of hundreds of poor farmer children and other labourers who honestly trusted you that they could bring change by leaving Ethiopia for Eritrea and the eppf. You are a disgrace to your heroic fathers name. It’s too bad your father gave birth to such a rat mentality snake.

Zulu Ithink you are mixing water with oil when you compare haiku with the great Ethiopian with the the great Ethiopian Mesfin W/Mariam.
My one cent
Ethiopians, plz wake up. Now it has become more evident who has killed the morale and struggle of the Ethiopian ppl against the tyranny. The so called old opposition groups supported and sponsored by ignorant ECADF members are responsible for delaying our freedom. We need to stop listening and following this old and self centered groups. Thank you Elias at least for sharing this.
TO anti-weyane agent says:
I don’t know how and where some of you were raised but it is terrible to read stuff like this. If you can present debatable ideas fine, if you have contructive and educative ideas fine too but what is all this. There are many things you can say and present evidence that write like some one who is in urgent need of psychiatric care. This is for all who are pro or against weyane. You are exposing the inside of your brain. Just because you guys use nick name doesn’t mean you can hide and curse. Limited knowledge is your enemy. One can easily track your IP adress and figure who you are. Any time you go through illegal web browsing and stuff is also the same. Of course no one is gonna waste time looking for trash like this but I am saying so that you know. Only cowards do curse behind closed door. Just because no one can see your real name, you shouldn’t feel untouchable. Act like every one will see what you are doing or writing and you will respect your self and others will respect your comments, even if it is totally the opposite view from others. But when you write dirty comments, even those who support your ideas will get turned off by the use of obscene langauge. Please grow up guys and gals. I am sure most of you are older but still you need to be examples to the younger generation.
Dear Elias, I admire your boldness on confronting issues surfaceing around the horn of Africa, you are not only smart enough to oversee geopolitics trends, but also you showed us your true willingness to bring lasting peace – at the horn, which is in high demand currently.
If I may, i would like to suggest one thing, Since lasting peace is our cardinal goal, would it be good if you invite a resourcefull person to lecture us and open an online forum how to takle the problem at hand.
I felt people deem to be emotional driven and they tend miss the the pig picture, this is helping the so called ‘selfish poletician’. We need to invest on knowledge base struggle which is free from racial webs and bleming games.
peace for all in need!
thanks.
when you read the message by#17, you realize how backward thinking he has. actually, the sad part is- his way of understanding how the world work is a representation of most of us in Ethiopian politics. According to him, Shawl started the party, therefore, like any other business belongs to him. there is more, he order others to ” create your own party”! people I am telling you this is the exact mind set of our politician and that is why we have all these parties mushrooming like seven eleven!!
21 #. Jaruu Balcha Wami,
“…I have never seen a more backstabbing poisonous snake who bites it’s mother country than you wedi Elias kiflom.” you wrote. kikikikiki…. What have you been smoking dude?
You seem to be DEEPLY self self centered and bent on WRONGLY equating “a mother country” with a mad dog that kills you instead of feeding you with its brutal dictator owner of the country who massacred and committed/ still committing genocide against humanity. You remember massacares including the close to 200 cold blooded massacres of young and bright Ethiopians on the streets of Addis Ababa as well converting the “mother land” in to the mother of all the filthy prison house for Ethiopians. And then you come here demanding from Elias and other oppositions to accept the degrading fate and slavery? NO THANKS!
Even Hitler’s Nazi cadres used to label underground oppositions to his mass genocide as traitors and enemies of the “Mother Land and the people of the great Germany.” What a shameful historical coincidence! :)
I am glad no one has been sent to jail because of the fracas!
This can be a desperate move by weyan, Once again ,to infiltrate genuine opposition groups with ill intent. And the bet this time is AEUP’s need for restructuring .Nothing terrifies Weyane and Shabia save a unified Ethiopian opposition against them. No one knows this more than the two rebel leaders. To this end both tirelessly work for such unity not to take place.
Shabian/Weyane killing machines are engaged in systematic ethnic cleansing of our people, and the situation calls for establishment of a national resistant force for our survival.

Why dont we leave the useless parties to the useless power thursty and good for nothing leaders and start with clean slate New Hibrebiher party by electing courageous committed and competent leaders.
The most poisious weyane’s agent is Hailu shawul. This man doesnot have any shame. he is acting like his boss meles. Meles told the whole world that he will run for the coming 2010 election, but when the election comes closer to the election day , meles said” I have decided not to participate in the election, but if my party says I have to continue leading it’ I can not say no, because I am not above the law” The selfish and self crowned king hailu shawul learned the same system from his boss and said the whole world that ” I quite politics”, and when AEUP which Hailu shawul considered as his legal wife , should elect it’s leader, Hailu shawul came out and said to all that he wanted to quite politics, but my party refused to give me premission. really shame on this hodam banda. bdnaditism at the age of 80.
Elias,
I admire some of your works, but reject the others on the ground that you do not appear to me as a journalist as I like to find you or that I do not find you at time as an objective political analyst free from bias or even handed.
If priests collide with deacons, only if the deacons act as mobs can take over the Church. Otherwise, the priests that did wrong are removed by the invoking the rules and procedures established for such actions. These are how the continuity and smooth transitions of organizations are maintained. It seems that the deacons could not convince the general assembly, or get the rules and procedures applied to achieve their wishes or correct the party failures as they claimed and described them, and so, they have to resort to other means which they thought easy and possible to bring by changes they wished. Obviously, they knew of channels and conduits in the outside world to carry and dissiminate their messages which was why they even thought and considered this strategy to bring change within the party.
This is not the approach to bring profound changes in the political organization however bad they presented it. This serves only to bring more chaos and the individuals do not appear stupid enough what they actions entail. There are other appealing and practical approaches to bring changes and or improve the party functions and roles. The individuals must always try to convince the multitude of members and followers and their leaders and representives that change is critical. They have prove and convince other officials and followers like them that change in the leadership is necessary and if the majority are convinced, change becomes unavoidable, if not, then there is more work to do to convince the people that matter to bring changes. The individuals clearly were not capable to do this, which shows their enability to induce changes internally, but they found it possible to bring not changes, but kind of chaos to the party. One would ask to whose benefits and to what end did they instigate such campaign against the current leaders who have been elected or reelected by the constituencies?
There must be procedures that govern the political body, in this case a formidable political entity known as MEEAD. Do those individuals want to take over the organization or bring changes to the party without the actions and deliberation of the entire body of the political party? Do they think that the outside followers and non-followers like you can over power members and dignitaries of the political party and replace the leaders with them? Or did they presume that the outside elements can bring the party to an end? They must have one of these ideas to have launched such action – coup against the party and or leadership.
Can an organization resolve internal problems by bringing enemies and friends of the party? Well, this has been Ethiopian styles and no wonder that those who had privilages to serve the people feel now empowered and also privilaged to change the heirarchi and the leadership without the involvement and democratic procedures that brought each of them to that position. Now, they can bring change their ways by undermining the entire officials, representatives, party members and followers by appealing to the Ethiopians in the Diaspora by sharing their disgusts and disatisfactions. They appealed to irrelevant body that matters not in the election of leaders and officials. The thing that the Ethiopians abroad can do is nothing more than material and moral support which in effect is a means to criple or strengthen the functions of a party. The Ethiopians in the outside world cannot be king-makers as much as they feel and as much as some consider themselves equal to Ethiopians electing their leaders.
The priests of the Church have superior commands and authority than the deacons. And so long the priests are in command, no deacon has the right to oust the priest by any mob action. The people that elected and put the priests in power can also remove them invoking their rules and procedures. Any group or individuals belonging to, say MEEAD who do not like Hailu’s political roles ought to change parties and support Lidetu, if not Lidetu, then, they must consider to support either Meles, Seye, Petros, Merera or Berhanu or any one they like. No one should spend time condemning a political leader whom he/she sees unfit and unworthy to be a leader. 99 percent of the party may be wrong in our eyes, but it matters not so long that leader is the best choice to the Ethiopians who have the power in their finger tips to remove or empower.
I strongly feel that the individuals brought internal problems of a party to the people that have no legal or moral right to be involved. The fact that the Ethiopians in the Diaspora can be tremendous moral and material support does not mean that they can manipulate the operations, functions and decisions of the party by its officials or entire members. The individuals should convince the members until all are agreeable to the need for change and take actions to bring about the desired changes. To involve the outside is to destroy and possible with motives to end the party by means of chaos.
Hailu Shawel is a shrewd politician, who knows which side his bread is buttered on. In becoming a subservient lackey of the Woyane regime, he is assured to have his business empire at Bahir Dar, and other places will grow exponentially as long as he stays in good grace with the brutal dictator.
The Hailu Shawel of 2005 election was a true brave fighter who used to have a fire under his belly. But the Hailu Shawel of today is simply an old fool who does not think beyond the tip of his nose.

MORE than month ago it was berket simon by aba gemeda now Eng Hailu Shawel and hopefully the next victim for this monthly beating is Eliyas kefle and his lie factory.
In my opinion, the so-called opposition parties should desolve themselves and start the whole thing from scratch.
The presence of the opposition parties has enabled the ruling clique to suastain its rule.
Those opposition groups that accuse or label their colleagues as “woyane ” spoil the party status. This is out of discipline. It kills the moral of the members. A difference in opinion within one party can be resolved by a thorough discussion, not by rebellion.
Those who want to magnify their capablity of having more influence on the party members suggests that they have the intention of spliting the party and take power. This in turn causes the party to its demise.
It is the beginning of the end to AEUP.
Hailu Shawel wants to bury the parties before his coffin rests on the ground peacefully.
MEAD HAS SERVIVED BEFORE. DR. BERHANU AND W/T BERUKAN AND EPRP INFILTREATES
TRIED BUT IT DIDNT WORK.
MEAD Previal !!
Yakob Likie is the same as his brother the late Doctor Senay Leekie . Doctor Senay Leekie preached communism to Ethiopians inside and outside of Ethiopia and took over the socialism revolution in Ethiopia in the 1960’s and 70’s . He killed those Ethiopian government officials that sent him to the western world to get education . He learnt communism and he liked communism because he didnot want to work for a living. doctor Senay Leekie as a young Ethiopian student outside Ethiopia managed to get information on the Hailesselasie’s high class rich individuals from their children while they were in school in USA and Europe. Then he went back to Ethiopia and managed to kill his informants families just to rob their possesion . Yacob Leekie is repeating the same thing his brother did, Yacob took over the struggle movement with the help of Hailu shawel and managed to turn the direction of the party towards his personal advantage and sold the members to Meles Zenawi & Co.A punch is not what he really deserved for his actions.
Greetings to you Elias:
This note is in response to comments made by visitors to your Web Site regarding to AEUP Members Throw Punches at Hailu Shawel:
I couldn’t believe myself you posted a comment without due regard to the accusation and heap of insults thrown at you in comment #21 by Jaruu Balcha Wami.
You truly are an honest and open minded gentleman, who put the principle of democracy above personal values. I know for sure if the same comment was sent to another media it will never have a chance to see a day light.
You put journalism above all by not throwing such inflammatory comments into a trash bin. I take my hat off to you, and keep up the good job, And God bless you and your profession.
Elias,
You know you have lost all credibility. You have been preaching for several years how Issayas would support EPPF to overthrow Meles. You even went to visit Issayas in Asmara trying to paint a positive image of him to the EPPF and to those in the diaspora. You have such an ego that you expect others to follow your lead and support whoever is your favored personality of the moment. Well, look at what you have done to those poor EPPF members, they have most likely lost their lives because you trusted a crazy and murderous man. You were so awestruck by him that you crowned him “Man of the Year” twice! We know Eritreans have been suffering under Issayas’ rule and have heard of the daring escapes by young people from Eritrea and what happens to them when they are caught. People have warned you about Issayas so many times, but you know better, don’t you? Why would you think that he is to be trusted? You imagine that you have experience in politics because you are posting what others are writing? Are you a leader of a political party or a member of a party? You have illusions of grandeur and are completely out of touch with reality. The possibility that so many Ethiopians lost their lives is very upsetting! Issayas has given a de facto asylum to the EPPF and others and is responsible for their well being so long as they are in his country. If he no longer wanted them in his country, he should have told them to leave Eritrea and they could have asked the Office of the United Nations Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for asylum and the UNHCR would have made arrangements to have them placed elsewhere. You should bear some of the responsibility for playing the role of interlocutor with Issayas on behalf of the EPPF. If it is verified that he has killed those people and they all happen to be Amhara, then Issayas has to be indicted for genocide. It seems that the other PFs and the TPDM are not affected for the time being.
To distract our attention away from your terrible blunder causing the loss of life of the EPPF fighters and to cover up your role in it, you suddenly decided to write your hateful rant on Eng. Hailu Shawel. Your problem is that you can’t stand being rejected. If someone ignores you, you start bad-mouthing them. I bet you that you wouldn’t have gone to Ethiopia to work in your preferred political Party even if you were free to do so. Political parties often have disagreemets, it’s nothing new – if you have noticed at all. Instead you attack Ethiopians who struggle to bring democracy to their own country. This is a recurrent theme with you. One can see you still speak of Issayas with great respect because you he is still your hero! Keep on building Issayas up and put all the blame on Colonel Fitsum as a “renegade”, as you would have us believe!
It wouldn’t surprise me if you delete what I’ve written above.
Eleas, are you a reporter or news creator? no wonder most people are turned away to other websites to get true news report about current affers regarding Ethiopia’s political and social issuis.
Please report the news only the news but not to devid and weaken the struggle to save our country from woyane and shabya bandas. we need a uniter not a devider.
By the way you need to respond to the accusation about you are supporting or calld Esayas man of the year. is that relly true ???
