(BBC) An Ethiopian-born billionaire has won £175,000 in libel damages over allegations he had hunted his daughter down so she could be stoned to death.
Mohammed Hussein Al-Amoudi was born in Ethiopia, but now spends his time at homes in central London, Surrey and Saudi Arabia.
The article was published on the online news website Ethiopian Review.
Judge Richard Parkes QC said it was difficult to imagine more serious allegations.
The site’s publisher and editor-in-chief, Elias Kifle, had denied liability.
The judge said that instead of apologising Mr Kifle had repeated the libel and abused Mr al-Amoudi and his lawyers.
The High Court in London heard Mr Kifle’s response to the initial complaint was: “Here is my formal statement: Screw yourself”.
The court heard Mr Kifle then went on to describe Mr al-Amoudi as a “scumbag bloodsucker” who was “funding al-Qaeda”.
Mr al-Amoudi, 65, gave evidence during the libel trial that he was completely opposed to all forms of terrorism.
The judge said the site alleged that Mr al-Amoudi had “disgracefully and callously” married off his daughter Sarah, then 13, to an elderly member of the Saudi royal family as a gift.
‘Wholly untrue’
The article went on to claim that Mr al-Amoudi was probably responsible for murdering his daughter’s lover in Iraq and had hunted his daughter and granddaughter across London in an attempt to ensure they were stoned to death in Saudi Arabia.
Mr al-Amoudi told the court he was horrified by the “wholly untrue” article which could be seen by visitors to the website between January and August 2010, when it was finally taken down.
Mr al-Amoudi, who has a son and seven daughters, said he had a normal relationship with Sarah, who was not married.
He said she had completed a business administration degree in the UK.
Assessing damages, the judge said: “The claimant is not, I judge, a man who wears his heart on his sleeve.
“But his distress as he described the effect of the article on himself and on his family was evident to me, and the more so because, as it seemed to me, he was doing his best to preserve his composure.”
Mr al-Amoudi, who was in the top 50 of Forbes magazine’s 2009 rich list, is believed to have made his money in construction, oil refineries and mining.
Mr al-Amoudi, who is of mixed Ethiopian and Arab heritage, is sometimes described as the world’s richest black man.
He was recently reported to be financing the building of Saudi Arabia’s first car factory.

Eden1,
Thanks for the observation. I always try to post what I believe to be constructive and refreshing comments.
Elias try to be realistic and don’t provoke with unjustifiable history and mislead the public which you think you are serving.
Weyaness and their thugs have been using the method “ATTACK IS THE BEST DEFENSE”. They have been attacking the true Ethiopian for many decades and we still seem defenseless while we could do a lot. So I recommend we use the same tactic against weyanes and their thugs wherever they are. “ATTACK IS THE BEST DEFENSE”.
Elias,
Now is has been proved that finally you are out of the game and you should join the loosers camp withh ISAIAS AFEWERKI and ALI ABDU and go to Eritrea as asylem seeker than living in the civilized world like the USA and lying for nothing. You are really denkoro and ignorant who can not learn from his past mistakes. Dedeb

Did you hear a recent story about an Eritrean con-man who cheated over 4.5 million birr out of thousends of poor Ethiopias? If Germany can extradite a criminal to an African country, I can’t see how a poor criminal like Elias will scape justice within a well-connected western world..unless he goes in hiding with his terorist cousins in Asmara…Good luck any ways, but perhaps you went too far to the far end of a wrong world.
Guys:
Elias is safe; he will not pay anything to Al Amouldi. If Al-Alamouldi takes money from Elias, he will lose more. I personally think Al-Amouldi has no way of getting money from Elias even if he wants. Thus the Elias and Al-Amouldi vibe is now over. Elias, our brothe will something if he has done anything wrong. I am sure he will not say,” Here is my formal statement: Screw yourself.” I am not sure if Elias said that. I only read it. But these days I do not take into my heart whatever I read because there are many many Ethiopians or non-Ethiopians who are out to defame, infame, blasmpheme, malign, attack, … others.
Now the hot issue:
Ethiopians are being shipped to Arab countries by Ethiopians airlines to Suadi Arabia. Those who are already arrived in Saudi Arabia are in highly depressed and in distress now. As many of you might I have read what Nebiyu has posted. There is a big problem of Ethiopians in Suadi Arabia right now. Nibeyu is handling an Ethiopian crisis in Saudi Arabia. He is an invididual like everyone of us but he is dealing with a crisis the Meles regime has created at home. Meles is exporting Ethiopians even outside the country.
My opinion, put aside all tribal, ethnic, faction fiction, … differences and join hand in hand and mobilize the whole nation for national disobedience. The national disobedience should be conducted for the following demands:
1. To immediately stop shipping Ethiopian girls to Saudi Arabia
2. TO immediately stop land sell and stop displacing people from their ancestral land.
3. Mr. to resign immediately.
We want change guys. One person ruling Ethiopia 25 years is a crime. Ethiopia’s development is not conditional on the sitting of Meles Arat Kilo until Jesus comes. Meles has become Emperor Haileslassie now. He will not leave office until people bury him under the palace like Hailesllassie.
My personal opinion, there are no even promising figures whom we can rely on. So we need to unite, mobilize from north to south, from east to west and rally together demanding the above and more demands.
Let me tell you, what is happening in Ethiopia has happened during the colonial time. The South Africans whites settled in Africa and gathered the black people and put them in camps and took their land. Then they gave them free alcohol to drink in the camp. The indigeneous peope ended up drinking and becoming useless and aimless. Those who can think, they became slave workers in the large scale commercial farms for free or for Mehala as they call it and they give them their petty salar every week end , on Friday. On friday the blacks drink that money and Monday go to work with no food even to eat and life goes on like that.
The bushmen in South Africa are know for being the wisest people in Southern Africa. But they were considered primitive because they do nto wear suits, and do not drive cars or they do not adopt easily European life style.
The same was done in Australia, Newzealand,…
The difference with one in Ethiopia, Ethiopians land is being sold by people call themsleves Ethiopian and they are selling the land for small money and uprooting the people from their land and home. They are putting them in camps because they think they are backward because they do not wear copy, cut and paste lifesytle. Life has given me the opportunity to live with bared and naked Ethiopians. you will wonder how smart they are. They know the weather , climate,…. and to call them backward and uncivilized because they do not wear clothe is totally worng. All human being are created bare and naked. When we die, we go naked. This artificial clothe must not give us a free ride right on others.
My point, I have no problem with Meles wanted to develop Ethiopia by building hydropower, and even displacing people. What I am opposing is that Meles is has not given them a replacement land. He is giving or has given the land to Indians, Arabs, Malasians, Indonosians, Italians, Turkeys, Egyptians, British, Americans,… the list goes on. This is honest craziness. Such thing never happened in the history of humankind on earth. You cannot develop a country by selling its assets 100%.
As we know all political parties are now almost dead. I have no hope there is any now.Even those who exists, they cannot do anything because they do not have ideology, principle and guides lines which they follow. Ethiopia is politics is arbirary ( bezefekede ). No planning, no ideals and vision. It is politics about Meles, his wife, and his tribe,…. things like that. Such politics has only helped Meles Zenawi than the poor Ethiopians.
I have lived a great deal outside Ethiopia and I have seen Ethiopians selling the bodies to other Africans, Indians, Arabs,Pakistanis,… and when I read what Nebiyu has posted. What is really happening to Ethiopians in Suadi Arabia is what really happens to Ethiopians all over the world.
For how long are we going to live like this? I am tired guys. I am tired of reading of horror. I have seen horror myself and Ethiopians are living in horror. We think we are alive, but we are a nation in death throe.
Do you think giving land to foreigners will develop Ethiopia? I do not think so. Guys, I am not opposing a healthy investment where the nation can benefit. I am opposing selling out national assets. Burning forest is a crime. Forests, you can not replace them.
Above the forests, there are the invesisble microfaunas, and microflora which are small organisms which live in the soil. Eg like bacteria, fungi,… which are in the soil which harvest free Nitrogen from the air and make nitrates and other chemical in the soil. Foreign farmers do not care about the soil, all they need high profit and at high chemcial imput. The microfauna and microflora will be destroyed forever. you cannot recover them. They are gone forever. After if one try to use the land, the land is waste land.
We need new civil movement that is all inclusive and that bring change peacefully. I am myself I am interested in policy change. The policy TPLF has been forcing on the Ethiopia and Ethiopians is antiEthioia. Reason: I do not know.
Why are 90 million supposed to follow the blind of policy Meles Zenawi? The man even never tried to work with citizens any time in point.
Ethiopians, please think yourself as civil individuals and think how you can mobilize people without any factions and without regarding ethnic oromo or tigre or amhara. Those of you who think you are political figures, think again, and lower yourself and be civil citizens who can harldy do anything without working with the people in the country.
Think how you can mobilize the civil than wasting time on paltalks talking about tigreans, oromos, amhara or ogaden. We are all human and our needs are the same. I personally do not need anything from my tribe or from any tribe. I wanted to be treated like human and I do not need support from anyone except from God. There are people who helped in my life from every tribe or non-ethiopian citizens. I have Europeans whom I trust and even can give my life for them. They are not related to me by any blood or tribe or place of birht or natinality. There are non-Ethiopians whom I can call them more than brothers and even sisters. Because their love to me is unconditional. Why do I need then my tribe or ethnic if every human treat me with dignity?
My point , we need to start a new history where every Ethiopian lives with human dignity. I have to admit there is racism in Ethiopia than anywhere else on the earth now. Even South Africa has changed now alot. Ethiopia is the only place where people black Ethiopians think they are whites? haha, this is real.
So now, time for civil movement, mobilize the your communities without talking about OLF, ONLF, TPLF, EPLF, G7, EPPF, EPRP,… we are tired of them all. We need life now. We cannot keep on on destructive path.
Take my message serioulsy, if you do not do anything and if you do not do anything and if you do not change and if you do not change the way we do things, Ethiopia will remain a national humiliated beggary, famien, prostitution,… Meles has brought nothing new than exporting babies adoption and trafficking girls for sex trade.
A man who export citizens with no contract, with no life isurance, with labour contract, with security for his citizen? with medical insurance? Wha is the leader for then?
Change, but for change to come, we have to change the way we treat each other and we do things. Otherwise, we will be in the same situation even after 30 years from now. Then we will be gone and too old to do anything.
Time to change thinking direction than keeping on driving on the same way.
No133 Wedi Ere, you are hopelessly arrogant, how can you say the British helped Ethiopia to get rid of the Italians and because of that they deserve a credit? How stupid are you? Ethiopia’s war with Italy could have never happened if there was no country called Britain. They planted the seed of poison in the entire world that they are the most deeply hated people in the world, tell me one country that doesn’t blame the British for a black spot in their nation’s history, including the USA. Britain is a country responsible for the pain and deaths of millions if not billions throughout history just for the simple reason of accumulating wealth. Go and learn history before you try to say something. If you are Eritrean, let me tell you something, you will be one of the enslaved people colonized by whites if you consider Eritrea as your nation but if you consider Eritrea as a province, you will be a proud black man, proud Ethiopian who was never colonized but crashed the military might of the west.
This is not about Alamudin vs Elias.it is about Ethiopiawinet vs Alamoudin and his wayene thugs.The question and the solution is how and when we can implement the uprising Egypian style and get rid of these dictators and terrorists from Ethiopan land.Our peaceful land and our value will not free until we die for it .I can assure you falks there is no free freedom.How many are we reeady to go to addis and sacrify to start the uprising. Forget the rest, lets be united and prepare for uprising.
oh happy day, oh happy day……………….
From reading this article and if posted all over on international news, it is actually bad for Alamoudi. You know, the rich like to be discreet and they won’t like it one bit when their name is public and in fact this could be more trouble for Alamoudi because other international journalists will pay attention and dig more information and will find crimes being committed in Ethiopia to innocent people in Ethiopia.
The answer from Gezahee and Nigist Saba is very productive and unemotional. Ato Elias, I sometimes feel he has like split personality or something that he is not consistent and also should learn to be consistent to improve his journalism and also to post people’s comments. If he doesn’t post then he should explain why he is not posting people’s comments as a good journal. This is my criticism to him. That being said, I say Elias could actually grow into Ethiopia’s hero for the struggle of Ethiopia next to our past kings, warriors, etc. Ethiopia does indeed need a hero today. Of course without scaring anybody, we know heroes will be endangered, so I advice Elias to really look after himself because Weyane and their stooges will not hesitate to doing something of course, their strength is growing here in the diaspora by the minute.
Eventhough we can sometimes get carried away with reading everything and believing, we cannot be away from the truth that Alamoudi could be the contributor of Ethiopia’s plight under TPLF, it is studied that the wealth of a nation or an individual is directly proportional to dirt poverty of another nation or individual. ER is now going to be a famous blog and we should heed attention to what we post such as insults, etc, that could be detrimental to Ethiopians. TPLF and Alamoudi may not reach Elias but since they are that low that they will continue their revenge on the poor Ethiopian people.
You may have a good case such as: land grabbing, involvement in the diaspora’s Soccer federation, exploitation of our resources with TPLF by taking 5 fold, etc. I think approaching this through wisdom, cautiously, well thought out must be and also getting others involved such as international and Ethiopan journalists, can anyone come forward against Alamoudi to make the case stronger, etc.. If the article posted is true then Elias has nothing to do with it, therfore should win. It seems he has won because he made Alamdoudi public. I bet to settle this, Alamoudi might approch quietly to settle this. Those Ethiopians swayed by Alamoudi are short sighted and after money as long as they have the money, they don’t see the big picture of what is happening to Ethiopia. I beleive who could be corrupting Alamoudi could be TPLF. Stil Alamoudi’s intentions in Ethiopia is vague but is very much being seen the damage that is causing to Ethipia.
According to the verdict, it is time people to admit that this is not about terrorism, etc, it is about the rich vs poor. The West is no longer going to work for what is right, since the economic debacle, what that indicates for us is that there is going to be war between the rich vs the rest of people. That is why, when a country like Ethiopia is kneeling, the West is punching her down again by funding TPLF. Of course, TPLF will be involved indirectly to support Alamoudi in U.S. TPLF and Alamoudi’s money will very much work in U.S by some groups such as Piper law firms that has been helping alamoudi against Elias and these firms such as Dick Armey has many friends in congress. Alamoudi won in UK because it might be the same case like here in U.S.
Sewit,
You are cracking me up hahaha, your writing is amazing a good message and lesson for anti Ethiopians.
What a great news. Here we go another blow to the extremist diaspora. Elias you better be schooled to be ethical and not mix up family matter. It looks like this is not the best time for both you and your boss Esayas as the latter also is gonna face additional sanction based on the UN report. Now Al Mariam has to use his potential (if he has one) to free you from imprisonment.
Well-done Billionari, you gave him a great lesson.
The beaty i admire about ER and its selfless editor is, it happly welcomes everyone w/a wide smiling open hand at its home to have thier democratic says: whether the shaebia discreditors, the secret woyane romatizers or the english-challenged average fellas as myself who are none of the above but an advocates of peace, justice and universal human rights such as the dear owner of this website: a firm believer in nonviolence, give&take civilized solutions, just to describe a few posetive points about him. What a wonderful trait, a merciless blowing rocky-head message indeed, for those who crave getting quick-rich on the expense of creating endless choas to the innocents.
Back to you mama earth, if you believe (as usually do on papers/words)on the above lofty ideals as well, which encludes respecting mojority vote, will you then honor your own words by giving a fair shot at justice (w/a reasonable doubt, ofcours)to the voice of the voicless, brother Elias and setting him free of all potetically motivated unsubstiated accusations?
What the heck! i would like to present you also a win-win proposation that hopefully you can’t refuse: If you are interested to reconnet and reclaim me as your lost, estranged, ran away(shfta) child; hands-off refraining yourself by declaring the downtrodden trash-feedrs defender guilt as charged! w/out a doubt he is one of the genuine prodemocrat cooler heads this ancientland, the birth of weizero/mis Lusy has ever producced.
If you just did that, i promise you (betsmti swat/in the name of the martryed for a good causes such as the unfortunate 2005 stolen election cruelly massacared patriots)to reciepicot generously on my side by forgetting and forgiving you; waiving partially the outstanding erears child-support you rightly owe me since birth as a dead-beat, loveless looser, unfit for motherhood; markiing it”BALANCE SATISFIED IN FULL”. Next, i’ll walk, sileintly disappearing into the flowing crowd to hunt any potecial honest job as long as it does not enrich me etploiting my fellow mankind…..
No matter what the truth is, when children comes to picture it is a matter of tradition to save them.
otherwise Al-amudi = Simple business man,he does business smart and at any cost including direct and indirect corruptions.
Anyways, take it easy. I have always got discomfort by very extreem people like Elias and too moderate like Abrha Kahasay.
Dear Azeb,
After I have read the comments about Elias Kifle on nazret.com, I was very angry at most of the commentators, and I wrote the following comment on nazret.com. But I have no idea whether nazret.com will post it or not.
I left this web site (nazret.com) long time ago for good, but when I read the invalid, unbalanced, and unethical comments by the moon-god worshipers, I thought they would deserve my critical response to their unsubstantiated and uncalled-for insults against one individual person – Elias Kifle, a distinguished journalist who has been on journalism business over twenty years and whom I admire and his tireless efforts to liberate Ethiopia.
All of you who knowingly or unwittingly ptyalise your entire contumelies on the chief editor of the Ethiopian Review are ignominies to that Christian land of Ethiopia and your shameless behaviors should not go unchallenged if not unpunished.
For your bigoted motives, hidden agenda, nebulous views, and future worldly benefits, you are overjoyed, overfed, overdrunk, oversmoked, overchatted, overdrugged, overlusted, oversexed, and overslept because your spiritual and physical father or mentor, Al Amoudi, has won the case against Elias Kifle. O yes, continue dancing wherever you are residing, continue laughing until you are short of harvesting tears from your lusty eyes, continue listening to the music your daddy Al Amoudi, half Ethiopian and half Saudi, is playing. Clap your bloody hands and let your Arab-Muslim sisters and mothers ululate until their throats are shut down for the benefits of their unconcerned neighbors about the whole affairs of this rich man, Al Amoudi.
For sure, Al Amoudi will get the money and with that money he will build not schools, not hospitals but extra thousands of Mosques all over the Oromo regions, and that is a double victory for all of you who believe in Al Amoudi’s hidden agenda – to convert Ethiopia to Islam and join the community of Islam; however, you cannot get a single dime from Al Amoudi’s extra money. Al Amoudi is not used to throw his easily-gained money to the dogs like you who are earnestly waiting for some left over to fall from Al Amoudi’s table. First he has to feed the mothers of his children, then his concubines, then those unfortunate sex objects, the Ethiopian girls and perhaps many other girls from the Arab-Muslim world.
This meretricious world is the only world Al Amoudi and you, his disciples, know, and there is no heaven or paradise for you after you and your money are gone. How true the word of Jesus is when he told his disciples: “Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” (Luke 18:25). You are praising Al Amoudi not because he has won the case but because he is a bilinear, and you are ridiculing Elias Kifle not because he has lost the case but because of this case Elias Kifle has become a world celebrity, a famous journalist, and a true advocate of democracy and human rights.
It is unholy thing to vaunt over Al Amoudi’s fugacious triumph without first thinking what will come next after Judge Richard Parkes’ unfortunate verdict in London. Judge Richard Parkes may not know the entire life history of Al Amoudi; for example, why is Al Amoudi prohibited from entering the United States soil and doing business in America? Therefore, the case between Elias and Al Amoudi may not be over yet, but in the mean time, let the rats invade every web site until we get a cat that catches each one of them, puts its sharp nail on the rat’s neck, plays with it for a while, kills it, and finally eats it up, nails, ears, and feet.
Shame on all of you who are feeding on Elias body and drinking his precious blood, forgetting he is one of your country men and at that an indigenous Ethiopian better than most of you who have contributed nothing to Ethiopia.
where is lemma´s comment, sorry, it has nothing with true Jurnalism
Yes indeed – attack like a bee and float like a butterfly!
Pump up the music and attack – no retreat! Woyanees and all enemies of mama EthiopIa are bleeding profusely!
Victory is in the air! This is our Summer our Beqa and our Renaissance !
ELias
this is not african law where corruption is common law. if you present case like this, you should have concret witness and evidence for the court. I believe you made huge mistake whether the case is true or not. learn from mistakes
TO ALL WOYANE SUPPORTERS:
TO ALL AGAINEST ELIAS:
Please stop the hate and be realistic. We know Elias do not like woyane, we know he is not ethnocentric and we know he love Ethiopia which is not a crime in my view.
I have one question for you all. “What makes Elias guilty in this case, what is his crime? Please convince me.”
We are talking about Ethiopian Elias kifle and Al-amoudi an Ethiopian Yemeni who is buying Ethiopia and”Owns Ethiopia”. I really do not care what a British judge said or not.
All I hear from woyanes supporters is, as if Elias is some kind of criminal. Is it a crime to love his country? Is it a crime to re post someones article? I want to hear from all of you why? with facts not BS.
If you can’t bring any fact, all your rage is out of hate and remember haters will self destruct soon or later just like Mussolini and Hitler.
Is UK becoming a rogue regime serving business hypocrites? Has the UK court become a money laundering business. Elias may be arrested if he enters UK because of this court ruling. It is shame for Great Britain to allow such things to happen. Afterall UK is not supposed to look at this allegation as Elias is not a resident of UK. The incident did not take place in the UK. It is a very corrupt thing for the UK to act in this manner.
Go to Sawa along with Assta where you will find your life style: thugship.
I do actually believe the verdict given that Elias to be charged all that money is deliberately designed to destroy Al-mouldi indirectly. The British the most insideous people on earth. They way they do things is very sophisticated. Many people think this is done to hurt Elias, but this verdict benefit neither Al-mouldi nor Elias. It would be actually a seed of strong hatred against Almouldi from now on. They know Elias, his sympathizers and even Europeans Mercenary journalists will keep an eye on the details of Al-mouldi. Al-mouldi is not wise to tell you the truth. He is trapped now in the British trap.
If Almouldi is wise, we would just call Elias and talk to him and tell him he will not charge him. If he is wise he will do that. Not only that, Al-mouldi is now on the spotline, … not a good picture among Ethiopians. […]

Before even try to write a sentence, you need to think twice. “The incident did not take place in the US”, “Elias is not a resident of UK” But did you ask the same question when it comes to the operative system of Ethiopian review? Does it stay in the US only? Is Elias claim himself as a profesional journalist? do you think? If you do ask him or read what a profesional journalist is all about? when you answer these questions, you can see clearly why Elias held liable for his action. I do advice you to read more or go back to school. Elias is using the international ciber space upon which he has no control. All he can control is himself and his journalistic ethics. Now you have a good time.
How can we expect any less from the kinds of thugs who are totally clueless about justice and Human Rights? Those who are rejoicing the result of AlMoudi’s lawsuit are the same people who support the bloody hand Woyane tyrant who is responsible for the deaths of countless number of innocent Ethiopians, robbing Ethiopia’s money and land. The same Woyanes dance and celebrate their Ethiopian Hitler throws innocent Ethiopians in prison for life…when he gives orders Ethiopians to be abused, tortured and killed by his inhumane Agazi army…they admire and support the heartless dictator even when he chased Ethiopians from their land and gives the Ethiopian most fertile land to foreign billionaires and slaughtered young Ethiopians, even children as young as fourteen years old on the streets of Addis in 2005…We have seen the same kinds of thugs that support dictators who have violated their own country men rights, looted their own country and given orders innocent people even children to be gunned down in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Syria and Yemen and now in our own country. These kinds of staunch supporters of narcissistic, coldblooded dictators; lack the true meaning of Democracy and Human Decency.
So I say, let’s not expect any less form woyanes who lack BASIC HUMAN DECENCY. Those who hate Elias also hate 80 million non-woyane Ethiopians, period!
The majority of the time, I don’t agree with Assta’s views, but after I read Assta’s comment about nazret.com, I visited nazret.com and out of 55 comments that was made so far on Almouddi’s court case, 98% of the comments came from Almouddi’s and Meles’s supporters. Well, obviously, nazret.com is swarmed by woyanes and nazret.com have become woyanes’ mouths piece. If nazret.com is not banned in Ethiopia like most patriotic Ethiopian websites, now I have an idea why not. For me, I will never visit that website again and have removed it from my bookmarks.

“The thief (elias kifle & co) does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundatly.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep. But hireling (bandas almaria & elias kifle etc.) he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep (coward diaspora oppos),sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees. And the wolf (opportunists, enemys) catches the sheep and scatters them. (Disentigration of Ethiopia). The hireling (bandas elias & almaria) flees because he is a hireling (coward qitregna banda) and does not care about the sheep.
I am the shepherd; and I know my sheep, and am known by my own.” Jhon 10: 10-14.
Assa be qittu, stay in your eritrean review website with your idol elias kifle. The US will extradite the terrorist elias kifle soon to Ethiopia. And he will be sent to MAEKELAWI, where he wiil be given a well deserved attention he is craving.

The following comment is my response to Addis Zemen’s comment:
Addis zemen, የበሰበሰ አሮጌ ዘመን ጨናዊ semen and ጽምው ገብር (Visitor),
Let me teach you how to spell my name. My name is Assta B. Gettu, not Assa Be Qittu. Because you are a ቂጥ አጣቢ ሸማኔ, you would like to mention the word ቂጥ now and then. Is it time for you to perform your hourly salah? If it is, do first your ablution, and then get a piece of prayer rugs. If you cannot afford one, ask the Rich Man; he will offer you one free.
Where do you see Elias Kifle stealing money? Where do you see him killing a human being? Where do you see him destroying someone’s property? Elias Kifle is not Al Amoudi, the great swindler; Elias Kifle is not Meles Seitanawi, the great killer and robber. You have been defending the swindler and the killer for a number of years, and for this reason the Holy Scripture advises you this way: “Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men” (Proverbs 4:14). Everybody knows the wicked and the evil men here in our time are Meles Seitanawi (Zenawi), Jezebel (Azeb Mesfin) Al Amoudi, and you, አሮጌ ዘመን or ጨናዊ semen.
You have been neighing to get something from Jezebel (Azeb Mesfin) or from one of Al Amoudi’s concubines but since you are an ugly looking person, they all ignored you, and you have failed to get their attentions. In the same way, believe me you will fail to get Elias Kifle’s and millions’ of his readers’ attentions.
For sure you are a cursed person from your mother Fatima’s womb, and that is why you are walking with the enemies of the Ethiopian people. David is right when he said long time ago the following words: “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers” (Psalm 1:1). Since you are walking in the counsel of Meles the wicked and Al Amoudi the villainous, you are not a blessed man, Mr. nefarious addis zemen or አሮጌ ዘመን or ጨናዊ semen. You are indeed a wicked, detestable, and doomed person who has no hope to see the brightest future of Ethiopia when she gets rid of her oppressive and ruthless leaders and their followers like you who are exploiting the Ethiopian peasants and confusing them as if your master Meles Seitanawi (Zenawi) were the legitimate leader of the country.
Do you think Meles Seitanawi is “The good Shepherd” who can give his life for the Ethiopian people? If Meles were a good shepherd who cares about his sheep – the Ethiopian people – why did he then give one of the Ethiopian seaports to Isaiah the wolf? If he were indeed a good shepherd, why is it so many Ethiopians are starving to death while he and Al Amoudi are amassing billions of dollars from the Ethiopian tax payers? Can you answer my questions Mr. defender of Meles the thief and Al Amoudi the culprit?
Do really your sheep, the Ethiopian people, know you, you are their real shepherd? If you were their real shepherd why did you slaughter them on May 2005 and ate their flesh and drank their blood? Why many of them are now in exile scattered throughout the world? A good shepherd is supposed to take care of his ship as it is written in the Book of Isaiah the great prophet: “He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young” (Isaiah 40:11).
Where are most of the young Ethiopians now if Meles is taking care of them? I will tell you exactly where they are: Some of the Ethiopian young boys are either in MAEKELAWI Jail or in Kaliti Jail. Some of them have been killed by your master Meles Seitanawi (Zenawi), and some of them are refugees in Sudan, Yemen, Libya, and in the Muslim-Arab world. Many of the Ethiopian young girls are being abused, misused, and sexually assaulted by Al Amoudi Arab friends in the Arab world. The very young ones, the toddlers, are sold to human traffickers. Do you see the difference between Meles Seitanawi (Zenawi) and the good shepherd who “gently leads those that have young” and who “carries them close to his heart” and who “gathers the lamb in his arms…” Have you ever seen Meles gathering those in the diaspora? Not at all! He in fact wants them to be deported to Ethiopia to be slaughtered by his criminal cadres. No one wants to go to Ethiopia as far as Dictator Meles is in power illegally.
You have already warned us that if we go back to Ethiopia that we will be sent to MAEKELAWI. The truth is we will go back to our country when you, the blood-sucker, and your lord Meles Seitanawi (Zenawi) are removed from power and sent to the gallop they have erected for all of us, the democracy lovers.
Dear Teklu,
Sometimes love for our country is not enough. We have to know how to realize it on the ground. The fact that TPLF Meles now are calling other Ethiopians Shabia is very weird.
Brother Elias, he did not have any strategy in the past 20 years except calling woyane woyane. Elias failed miserably to work, mobilize, unite the people in the past 20 years.
I can tell you honestly, I did not even spend one day with the intention of removing TPLF. The reason: I have been prioritizing my personal goals instead. But I can tell you if I was to work like Elias Kilfe full time, I would remove Meles Zenawi not in one year or 20 years, but in one week.
#175 unknown alkelaki of blood sucker meles-almudi gang.
Learn first yourself the world did not appoint the UK court as the guardian of the cyberspace. Almudi is not a UK citizen, a UK court has no jurisdiction what so ever to look in to such unfounded allegation. If Almudi is a saudi arabian why not go to saudi arabia or even ethiopian court to file his allegation. Why on earth on the uk where he launders ethiopioan people money and stores in uk banks. The UK banks are the recipients of laundered money through so called gold sale and endowment funds and sheer stolen money from the poor ethiopian people throat. I for one never give an ounce of respect to these looters, bloody parasites.
There are many who inspire me in their writing on Ethiopian blogs. Some no longer do not write comments but some are new and some still there. One thing you can tell about true leaders are how they carefully craft in the discussion of finding solutions to problems therefore. If I may comment, the people that need to be encouraged to comment more, get involved in Ethiopia’s issue, to be even one day soon to be part of the leadership are the following people both on Nazret.com and ER blogs: So far I found the following: Gezahee (comments mostly on nazret.com and now recently started on ER), Nigis Saba is new, Omo is from nazret.com. These people need to be carefully encouraged in ideas, solving problems, they seem to know more about Ethiopia, how to tackle problems, etc. This I am saying not to isolate others, others are also greatly and visibly struggling for Ethiopia such as the great Elias from ER.
ER, since you are working on organizing to save Ethiopia, perhaps researching and finding such rational people as above who comment throughout Ethiopian blogs need to be identified and have them participate directly to the struggle. What do you think?
People please worry about yourself and not for Al-Amoudi, he is an international business who has invested in billions of $$$. You see when you invest to that level, you have got to have international business insurance and some top class solicitors who work round the clock. It is not a jock or a laughing matter to falsely accuse a persona of Sheik Muhammed Al-Amoudin and get away with impunity. He has every right to use his wealth to protect himself, his family as well as his assets.
Most importantly, his family. I believe every father would have done the same. Who wouldn’t? The sheik is currently investing almost 35-40 percent of his wealth in his birth country of Ethiopia. He has employed
close to 100,1000 Ethiopians. Next to the government, he is the main employer force in Ethiopia. He is doing the same in many countries, like Sweden, Saudi Arabia, Moroco to say the least. In Sweden, He was awarded the country’s top medals in recognition of his contribution through investment in the country.
If you ask many Ethiopians back home, they would tell you that he is doing the right thing for Ethiopia too.
He is planning to invest extra two billions of US dollars only on Agriculture in the following two years time. His political view and private life should remain private. After all, who are we to judge?
#181(real name: mr. Gezae H. Berhe) is a hard core meles/woyane suporter/agent from the eritean opposition parties who go for meeting in Adis. He came from asmara through s/africa to canada. for ur info, i don’t give a shit as far as i’m corcerned (after all, he has a right for free speech), just to let know guys the prodemocrats at ER who u’re dealing with in case u don’t know about him yet. Just judge for yourself at awate.com. He is a regular colomusnit there under the tile of ‘kind citizen’. god bless as all.
If i’m allowed having my layman say, unlike bro Elias, Almoudi is a vested investor in the British economy and i don’t think it requires a rocket scientist filling out the rest of the blank space what exactly this means. The point is, as much as the elites would not like admiting, whether we like it or not, the world revolves according to the fattest wallet/purse holders where they can buy justice by retaining aproximately $1000 per hr washington’s hot shot k-street lawyers to easly bury the average joe alive just for the hell of satisfying thier stubborn egos.
Although one might get strong case against them and get judgement award, they can simply frustrate and burn the defendant/accuser slowly thru atrition/appeals after appeals until the matter get settled for thier favor. Ofcourse, i’m not law expert nor do i in the legal system. This is just my personal general obsevation basing from my elective poletical 101 cousrse back in my university yrs. As a matter of fact, i could site many instances but ER might not find it suitable fit for posting.
By the way, speaking of posting, how come ER, the voice of the voicless, failed posting my innocent final conclusion comment regarding MAMA EARTH that i submitted yesterday? Where is the beef of FREE SPEECH AND RESPECT FOR DEMOCRATIC OPINION regardless poletical different standing, ato Elias?
The good prof. Al, advised us as usual on his latest educative piece concernig dictators anti-free expression that if they can’t stand the heat, should get out of the kichen. I wish this super true wisdom should applys to some our genuine prodemocrat freedom lover activists as well, doc!
Peace&Love
Gezaee H #181,
You wrote in a highly spirited or selfish motive: “But I can tell you if I was to work like Elias Kilfe [Kifle] full time, I would remove Meles Zenawi not in one year or 20 years, but in one week.”
We have many preposterous people like you on this and other web sites who just do the bragging but not the tangible work. How true the Amharic saying is: “ከበሮ በሰው እጅ ሲያዩት ቀላል ይመስላል.” It seems you are in a campaigning business and you are saying “Give me Elias’ job and I can change Ethiopia in one day.” Tell us briefly, if you were Elias Kifle, how could you have done better than what Elias has been doing all these years? Carrying every day a death sentence on his head and ignoring that death sentence, Elias Kifle has been preparing the Ethiopian people through his excellent reporting for that great day – a day of mass movement in Ethiopia that would happen sooner or later. And that great day is the last day for Meles Seitanawi (Zenawi) and his criminal families. Yet that great day will never come unless we all work hard like Elias Kifle. I am not condemning you for criticizing Elias Kifle; Elias Kifle has always been open to constructive criticism, but yours doesn’t look appropriate while Elias has been working tirelessly for his country. We must encourage him instead of disqualifying his twenty years work.
#181 Gezaee,
You are one full of hot air and full of bull s**t, nothing less nothing more. Take #183 Love with you to nazret.com and rant as usual praising the mass murderer and looter tyrant that is also dismantling and selling Ethiopia to foreigners. The main reason tyrants like Melese stay in power in various countries around the world, to loot and kill innocent law abiding and God fearing people, is because of narrow minded, blood thirsty thugs.
Elias,
Haven’t we heard enough from these thugs? Please send them back where they came from, to nazret.com
Dear Assta,
I am not going to start mud-sliding now. I know we Ethiopians have problem listening to other people except listening to our own echos which I believe is the core problem of Ethiopia.
The fact that the country is going in circles for half a century is not for no reason. There is a good reason. The good reason is that the majority of us do not have the gut to work with other people. We do not recognize any other Ethiopians as citizen. We just want them to follow us blindly?
I do not want to delve into counter offensive now. But I do believe Ethioia has a long way to go. And I am the abusers will go on abusing our people because our politicians engaged in petty politics that does not get us anywhere.
I am sure Assasta would written alot of compliments if I was to say Mr. Elias our hero and the winner,… I must tell you now Mr. Elias may be your hero? He is not my hero. I am sure you will condemn for this. But I do not care what name you will give me. you can give me any name you want. I am hero yet. But I did not comment with an intent of disrespecting anyone, be it Elias or somebody else.
I guess it is better to quit visiting Ethiopian forums. Better live, enjoy my hard gotten freedom than soiling in the despotic Ethiopian web forums who do not even allow people to think in their own.
Elias I have posted few times my view nevertheless it was not posted it might be from your side or Meles’s donkey Bereket might have eaten my posting so let me retry again what I feel about this situation. Elias first of all I think you are the winner of this drama first of all he should not get a penny from you because you do not reside in UK so his fake judgement was a symbolic for this idiot bastard I know he never had a good news with in the last few years after he proclaimed he is a proud TPLF member I know from this situation he lost and you earn a huge publicity I think this is the starting of his unfortunate days it is funny when TPLF started the voice of America situation they thought they had the upper hand so TPLF through its cadres like Doctor Belanesh and Hodam Nigusse Woldemariam were beating hard their drum now they are quiet as a drowning rat right now their drumming does not create a sound it is so low even for them even their rat’s ears can not hear it they are frastrated badly. They always start unplanned in rush but when they fail it is too bad even they get shocked when we laugh hard they cry for weeks. For instance let us count few of their failures they went to Somalia like a lion roaring however they run away fast just like a frightened rat hissing then they said Abay thing then VOA then you so watch these uneducated idiot herd how they hasten their own downfall sooner than we can guess it. As i said your side of result was a huge chance of publicity with out spending a penny he put you on the spotlight. You see how TPLF and its idiots are thoughtless baboons are. If you go to Europe make sure from the British corrupted legal enforcement please use this publicity gift to bring our Ethiopian review to the rest of the world, do you know how much people pay to get this big publicity. The idiot billioner Saudi bastard tiff have don a big favor for puting you and our beloved Ethiopian review on the world’s spotlight you must be assured Ethiopian review is loved by all true Ethiopians at the same time it is hated by greedy and tiff Muhammad Alamudi as well as TPLF dogs. Again please find every publicity avenue do not wait until they call you you just call them and ask then say do you want to hear what happened to me and to my bastard baboon billioner Muhammad Alamudi the one I got as a gift for being a smart and tough from number one fatty baboon Meles Zenawi. By the way people did you listen last Monday VOA Adanech Fisihaye’s Africa program I heard Profesor Ayele Beleker is now teaching in university of Mekeley he was her permanent guest every week now he is in TPLF’s hand working as a hand and glove if you have heard his interview in the past he was a wishy-washy answerer so she used her TPLF membership to hookup him with her TPLF friends spcially Meles and Azeb his slut as you know it by now Adanech Fisihaye is the best TPLF representative in north America than the TPLF embassy in DC she plays a bigger role than her skill permits her in VOA replacing Mimi Sibihatu. If you listen during her program production days she filters or censors with no shame.
Dear Gezaee H. #189,
I have a reason when I say Elias is my hero: Elias has never stopped fighting for Ethiopia, and you remember how he travelled across the Atlantic Ocean, risking his life, to talk to Isaiah Afewerki about the possibilities of bringing the two countries, Ethiopia and Eritrea, together. And I am sure you recall the words Isaiah Afewerki used: “The sky is the limit.” Which means the two countries can work together burying down their differences, and for this noble goal, Elias Kifle endeavored selflessly. Elias Kifle has never been afraid of denouncing the nightly and the daily looters of the Ethiopian scarce resources, and for such heroic actions of his, Elias is indeed my hero.
Because of my harsh comment against you, I don’t want you to quit commenting on this web site any time you want. We all Ethiopians are one family, and sometimes there can be noisy arguments, name callings, and even fist fighting in a family, but at the end of the day we all are the same brothers and sisters.
God bless Ethiopia!
Well Well Well, Elias we need you bro. While i am a fun, i have to admit you went a little too far especially on such news where it is questionable as to whether the alleged events that you claim about his daughter really took place. This kind of allegation could undermined your true motive which it to fight for what is right.
My suggestion to you is that you live that man along and focus on Melese and his regime as he is the head of the sneak.
Take care my brother and let us know if we can help in any way.
God bless you
I just finished watching a 2008 movie titled “taken” produced by Luc Besson, starring Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, and Famke Janssen. The Sheikh named Raman in the movie reminds me of a colorful individual. who is that person?
The prize will be 175,000 pound, a Monopoly game money.
#191
Does that include muslim Ethiopian? The number of er readers are dwindling by the day because of an increased name calling and insult towards commentators on this site. The standard is way to low.
Dear Assta B.
You are fully entitled to call Elias Kifle as your Hero. I have no problem with that. It is you right. But I do not expect you to think he is the hero of everyone.
Mr. Elias is Yewahe ( ger ); but Issayas Afeworki is not Yewah or ger. The fact Mr. Elias even did such endeavour is not bad if he really meant it.
But I personaly find it too hard how can Issayas say,” The sky is the limit?” Issayas A. dined, wined, danced, celebrated with Meles Zenawi for 17 years. He even used Tigrean teenagers to save himself from Mengistu Hailemariam’s striking spectre. Meles demanded the whole world Ethiopia has to be landlocked and demanded Eritrea to be recongized as an independent nation with all the coastal line. Meles Zenawi did all that. He was given the whole coastal line with no question. But he was not contented enough and wanted more land from Ethiopia. He invaded Ethiopia. He was begged for one year to vacate from badme. He refused. He bombed the whole Tigray in one week which angered the whole Ethiopia and caused the death of 100 000 Ethiopian souls and he was marching to addis ababa to eat his breakfast at Shebele hotel. Mr. Elias turn around and wanted unity? hmmmmmmmmm?
How come Mr. Issayas A. decided to work for unity? if that was the case, why did he spend 30 years in Nakfa? I know Elias is Yewah, but Issayas is not Yewah; he was taking Mr. Elias for another ride like he did take and fooled and used the whole TPLF and threw it like a condom. Mr.Elias could have done better if he could have relied on his own people than falling into the trap of Shabia. How many Ethiopians perished because of Shabia? who created TPLF, ONLF,…? Is not shabia the mother of all the FFs?
But I do understand what you are trying to say anyway. If we could have peace, it would have benefitted us all including everyone. But Eritreans (slavery name ) would love mr. Elias over Meles Zenawi is just imaginary that cannot be true. Meles Zenawi who is their committed and selfless servant, but they do not like him. What is the magic Shabians fell in love with Mr. Elias? Is it because Mr. Elias is an amhara? Assta, I do love even the Shabians like every Ethiopians. But you do not know my friend their deep seated hatred to Ethiopia and Ethiopians. Whether you agree with me or not, they were taking Mr. Elias for another ride they could have killed Mr. Elias after finishing thier business like they did to Hayelom whom they feared so much.
But in general, I see some Ethiopians in this blog, they jump on people and call names like woyanes,… bla bla… how is really one going to bring change in Ethiopia by calling names and scaring people like this? What is really Ethiopia for them? If they are robbing the dignity of people right here, how are they going to give freedom to the average Ethiopians? Who is really Ethiopian if we are not Ethiopian? There are these people who give and take Ethiopian citizenship as if they are the only Ethiopians? Is there any Ethiopian who has the absolute power to take away my Ethiopianness? if who is that? This type of people will not bring freedom in Ethiopia but they can really delay bringing freedom to Ethiopia? Aweken teblo, send them to Nazret.com this woyane? It make me sick to come across such people honestly.
But for sure, I know why Ethiopia is not able to solve its chronic problem because there are those who are consider themselves more Ethiopian than any Ethiopian and who are always self-righteous. It is this type of people who are delaying freedom and development in Ethiopia. It is this type of people who give more or longer life for Meles Zenawi. I sometimes think to work with other Ethiopians, but when I come across these type of people I ask myself how is it that I can work with this type of people?
Anyways, I hope Ethiopia will find fresh minded people soon, specially who accept every Ethiopians and respect every Ethiopians, not the type of those who give and take away Ethiopian citizenship as they wish as if Ethiopian citizenship is their own citizenship asset.
Thank Assta for being civil. That is the way to go. We need to respect each other otherwise, we will keep on nailing each other forever which will not get Ethiopia anywhere.
There are persons for whom you will be prepared to die. Persons with integrity and selfless sacrifice. Persons who never flinch from their principled position. Persons who speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Elias is one such Ethiopian. When i first visited ethiopian blogs, i was suprised to find out Ethiopian Review speaks the blatant truth in no uncertain terms about TPLF’s cockroach politics. I first thought if the owner of this ER was an erritrean because eritreans know the inside out of woyane and are the ones who created them, baby sitted them, fed them and showed them how to fight. But i found out that this is not the case. There is a woyane dedebit proverb which says: “do not kill an ethiopian. kill the hero in him”. So this allegation is an attempt to smear genuine patriotic ethiopians like Elias. The late professor Asrat was taken to court. Dr. birhanu nega, birtukan Mideksa, the entire kinijit, tamirat laynes, seye abraha, taye woldesemayat, all taken to court on tramped up charges. That is the dedebit proverb: kill the hero in an ethiopian. This UFO-financed, money launderer bastard holding the name Almudi is a paid agent of so many clandestine mysterious organisations with mafiotic intentions. The only connection that he has with ethiopia is that he came out of an ethiopian womb, nothing else. But one thing is sure. As long as this imposter gold digger remains in ethiopia he is sure to grind our country to extinction. The only thing he does is dig gold export it abroad and fill the coffer of meles-azeb mafia family after taking a share for himself. Otherwise he is taking land and erecting fence on it. Nothing else. Even his tesfaye zegeye building is not finished after how many 10 or 15 years standing beside the stadium. The sheraton hotel is a redlight hotel of adultery where the likes of abinet and alamudi dance half naked and filrt with married women and high class prostitutes. That is the legacy of Almudi in ethiopia.
#181 Gezaee H.
You have failed the question bro. My question was can you prove if Elias guilty by re-posting an article some one already posted regarding Al-Amoudy or not?
One thing I agree with you is, yes you can remove Meles from power in one week than Elias in Twenty years. I am sure you know what I am talking about lol.
Ajaibu #194,
As usual, you are telling a lie: the number of Ethiopian Review readers is, in fact, growing up not decreasing. Get out of this web site; we don’t need an omen telling person like you, and Elias Kifle is not going to change his principles because you are offended by some comments against you.
There is no ending to the shame of the English justice system where it caters for the rich and powerful while the rest of us stand no chance.
SCREW YOURSELF!!! is also my opinion. British law has no jurisdiction over people outside the island. Even people supposedly judged in the English justice system usually take their case over to the European court of human right which over-rides that of the English ones. WERADOCH!!!
Gold is selling for $1,600.00 an ounce in today’s market.
There is a meeting at Hilton Hotel. The meeting is about Pencil charity? kkkkkk, wey Gud, Meles Zenawi he cannot even make pencil for children? He is attending a meeting of Pencil charity from Canadawit Hana? shame, notthing to be proud of this. Begging food, medicine, money, technology, pencil, pen, paper, … what is that Meles is capable of doing? Begging?
