  2. We new that the gang with its Eritrean leader will crumble very soon. TPLF rats think that they will keep on killing and looting for ever. Selling our land and coffee and pocketing the loot wont continue.Carrying Klashikov does not jusify looting our resources.
    I advise Woyane looters to pave the way for real democracy in Ethiopia. We will accept TPLF rats who will repent their crime and include in the democriztion process. Otherwise, dedebit is the if the people of Tigraye let you stay there briefly.

    People of Ethiopia, Let us rise up and dismantle TPLF gangs ones and for all. Let us establish Ethiopia that EVEYBODY is treated equally. NO more killers and looters!!

  3. Mass uprising in Ethiopia by the people not “YeSelamwi Ajabewoche”. AEUP, UDJP and MEDREK can not lead any rally because they are not for it. In fact Negasso the UDJP leader is preparing for 2015 election/Ajeba is what TPLF wants to hear.

    Forget the cowards and start the uprising to topple Meles and his gangs. Yes we will rise up. It is not surprise for us when we hear it from well informed foreign journalist. Good job RT. Obama should held the TPLF army with the same standard with Egyptian army, do not shoot people. We will take care of the rest.

  5. of course it’s a matter of time. No leadership or system lasts forever. But, if you’re going to post a video of someone, you should try someone who has a little bit of credibility because we know Madsen’s case. And who cares what these journalists say, it only matter what Ethiopians say.

  6. The Meles regime has to go at any cost. Here is the twenty achievemets of the crime family.

    1)Making our country landlocked
    2)Absulute corruption
    3)Acute Poverty
    4)No Free Press, jamming web sites/TV/telephone
    5)No Free Election
    6) No free police force, military
    7) Poor Education
    8) Disease
    9) Hunger
    10)Inflation
    11) War with neighbouring countries
    12) Fake Election
    13) Favouring one group
    14) Anarchism
    15) Money Lanudering
    16) Racism
    17) Killing
    18) Imprisonment
    19) Fake federalism
    20) Bogus economic growth

    The worst of all , all these crimes are committed under the cover of protecting the constitution. The regime is hypocrite and no more have the support of Ethiopian people.

    May God Bless Ethiopia !!

  7. I wonder if it will start in Ethiopia. We have hodam military that only protects the government not the country and her people. But if it starts, woyanne is a history.

  8. The only thing that keeps Meles on power is the weak unity of Ethiopians, particularly along ethnic lines. Otherwise, we could have kicked him within few days. But what happens next? OLF goes one way, ONLF goes another way, TPLF hard cores (with their guns) want to go another way and chaos ensues. Ethiopians fear that chaos. More needs to be done to bring more unity among us. That is the only thing sustaining the TPLF gangster. Otherwise, I am sure they could never manage to control this vast country. Lets first do our biggest assignment – to unite ourselves for a free, just and united Ethiopia. Kicking out weyane will then be an immediate outcome.

  9. The Meles regime is in danger of falling is not current news. EPDRF is always in danger of falling since the 2005 election. That is exactly the reason the party has established the Stalin method of governing by sword since then. What is new now is an impartial American journalist spoke about it. If a journalist who might have spent a few months or weeks come to the conclusion EPDRF is not holding up well, the U.S. embassy in Addis might know much better. That is good. The very reason EPDRF has got blanket support from the West was EPDRF’s well-orchasterated political machination: they somehow convinced the West that they would rule Ethiopia until the end of time. The West believed the delusion as a fact written on a stone. Considering what happened in Egypt and Tunisia now, considering the total collapse of Ethiopian economy, considering the corruption that is swalloing up Ethiopia as a whole, considering Ethiopia has become a curse for the youth with no hope in the horizon, the West might see Ethiopian politics in new light. Meles has known for a long time his Honeymoon with the west might not hold up for long, trying to cozy up with the Chinese was a tactic he entertained. But that approach is very simplistic. The Chinese might not weep in public if EPDRF will be forced to pack up. The Chinese are in the business of competing for the Third World market, which the West usually ignores, and any government of Ethiopia might not be hostile for their cheap commodity being available in the market. If Meles delude himself the Chinese will send wheat year after year so that EPDRF will stay in power the guy is a political illetrate. First, it is not in their political interest to do so. Second, they do not have the wheat to send to begin with. EPDRF certainly cannot wither the economic collapse that every Ethiopian families are facing. Unless one has a business and connection with EPDRF politicos, unless one is a corrupt bureacrat with an EPDRF card membership, unless one is an EPDRF cadre who believes his living the high life is a testament that EPDRF politics is superior, living in Ethiopia is a hell right now. People who live in the earthly hell will not be expected to live in it indefinately. The time will come when they say enough is enough. The American journalist is saying that time is approaching. How observant he is!

  10. Excellent analysis of Ethiopia by Wayne. The Meles regime will fall and the sooner the Obama administration realises it , the better. Meles days are numbered and the low ranking officers in the Ethiopian Army will not shoot it’s fellow citizens this time even if the TPLF generals orders them because they are getting paid very low salaries while the generals are becomeing multi-millionaries.

  11. 5#Guest,

    Please stop closing your eyes and denying facts. Remember also that this change which we are talking about is also about seeking and gaining supports from the international communities such as journalists, governments, nongovernmental organizations, etc. It is in fact a mobilizations of the national and international masses against tyranny, dictatorship and criminality. Of course the core actors and engines of change must necessarily be Ethiopians. NO self isolation!

    International direct and indirect influences played major roles both in the Tunisian and Egyptian revolution success.

    Elias, thanks a lot for adding the video clip! It clearly shows that the brutal dictatorship is LOOSING ground and the people’s struggle GAINING GROUND.

  12. Elias, why is that the video can’t go beyond 5:18?? I can’t listen the Meles part. I even went into youtube and couldn’t anything after 5:18. Has someone corrupted it ??

  13. melese should have to learn from sadam & mubarak America’s r never been life time friend with any dtcators, we are the witness of it, so our time is nearly in the feature

  14. People of Ethiopia,

    Take this advantage to unite! Look at Egyptians under one flag. TPLF for their own selfish interest divided our country under different flags making a way for the break up of Ethiopia. People of Ethiopia, say no to division, say no to hate and come under one flag, green yellow red, in fact this flag like the flags of other African countries is about about freedom and Pan Africanism! Let us unite and oust not just Meles but TPLF must be dismantled and keep our borders guarded against Shaebia where that is where the danger will come as Ethiopians are fighting TPLF regime that the Shaebia will take advantage.

    Unite Ethiopia! Stop listening to Egypt and Shaebia funded Liberation Fronts!

  16. There is no doubt Melese and the remaining World dictators will soon leave the political scene each at a time.The love affair between the western governments and these dictators is soon to be a bygone affair.
    Melese,before it is too late,need to craft his exit plan now.One such likely hood is,sad but true, Asmara.

  17. NEOCONE AND DEOCONE, out of touch some us policy makers talking democracy but in fact propping up and supporting decadent autocracy and hated brutal dictators and both facing crushing defeats and moral bankruptcy. What an unfortunate fate facing these coldies and oldies at the hands of the fearless 21st century determined global youth? :)
