Is al Amoudi wanted for questioning in the United States?

According to a reliable source, Saudi billionaire Mohammed al-Amoudi is wanted for questioning by the United States authorities to investigate about possible links with questionable groups. It appears that al-Amoudi has not visited the United States in years. Ethiopian Review is looking into the veracity of this information. We encourage our readers with information to contact us on- or off-line.

    When all men of Israel were afraid of Goliath and the hands of their enemies, one simple shepherd called David was encouraged by the Almighty power of God to destroy him (them) once and for all. God always store one simple person to show His existence.

  2. So long as you fools keep posting any garbage, the traffic flow of ER will increase and that way Elias can use the ad money for his defense or what ever. That will save me from sending defense money to Elias. But please make sense sometimes. Some one has listed the countries that Al amoudi but did hide by using several passports, eg. Egypt. Every one knows he is the front man or owner of a $500 million chemical factory in Egypt. No one expects that he won’t travel there. Find some better sh*t on him, don’t be a loughing matter. It is so embarassing to read some of the low IQ or no IQ comments. The sheik is not an Ethiopian sheik. He behaves like the typical arabs. I know many Ethioian shieks, my friends dad is a shiek and rich too but he is a respectable man. But if you have to expose this guy or if you have evidence, embarass him and not your selves with your weak comments.

  3. Melbournian #30, threats and terror tactics like that don’t have any impact on people like Elias. In fact it will only further strengthen their resolve. So I suggest you try some thing different.

  4. Elias, it looks that you are not a person who can learn from experience. You are picking a fight with someone you don’t compare with. You are only one confused person with no direction, no target, no strategy…nothing at all. If there are people who are encouraging you to take such a nonsense move they must be playing a game by bringing the foolish Elias to the front line. I am not sure what you can achieve from this. You already suffered one big blow. You are not even someone who can afford to pay for a solicitor. You better shut your big mouth and find a decent job that can earn you a living. You have been trying to confuse readers … this is a good time to come back to your senses (if there is any). You get nowhere because you are not representing anybody except your confused mind.

  5. Hey Elias why don’t you get your act togather and get over Al Amoudi? Why don’t you ask state dept if Al Amoudi is wanted by u.s gov instead of making a fool out of yourself? Al Amoundi has millions of dollars he can buy any lawer in any country.Myabe next time Al Amoudi will sue in U.S court and you will lose everything you own here in u.s.If you don’t care about youself think about your family that may be hurt by your actions.

  6. Elias and all other Patriotic Ethiopians,

    Please disregard some of these Woyane-agent that are posting garbage here in this Forum becase everyone can smell their dirty posts. As to this serous allegation against this man known as Mohammad Hussein Al-Amoudi, all Ethiopians MUST get the attention of their congressmen and Senators that this charcter is operating freely in Ethiopia with yet another dictator know as Legesse “Meles” Zenawi, and continue to terroize Ethiopians and robbing them their basic human rights and freedon. Bring Al-Amoudi down, would alson mean bringing Meles Down, becasue this Saudi terror-sponsor is sole payee of the Meles lobby firm.

    So Elias, here is your beef go feast on this Saudi terror-sponsor. YOu will have our back if you need financial help from ordinary law-abbiding citizens…

    Cheers!

  7. Here we go again:

    Instead of focusing on the real problem at home including the the destruction of forests by Sheik Almouldi and Meles, you are trying to make a case out of a dead case now. This is dead and buried. you will get Almouldi by this old and dead case. As one mentioned, even Bush worked with the family member of Bin Laden.

    If Elias,you are trying to score from this old case, trust me, I am not fond of Al mouldi, but you will not get anywhere using this old case.

    There is many hot issues in Ethiopia which you could use, but you are not able to see through the lense. You will not win Almouldi using this old case, I must tell you right now, you are going to put yourself even in the worst libel ever. If there is an adult Ethiopian, you really need council and support to control yourself. Our people may encourage you to air this old news. But I am affraid, you may find yourself in the worst situation. Terrorism is a serious case. you have to have a solid proof. Because you are angry now and now accusing him as terrorist will not help your situation. I am advising your brotherly to sit and think about the think you do and say. you are an adult and you can keep on jumping on people and think you can go away with it. As I said I am not pro Almouldi,I am not supportive of your engagement with old bin laden story. The American themselves are tired of it and even now becoming poor because of it.

  8. United We Stand says # 23

    In fact you are wrong!

    Gezae Hagos of the kind Citizen is different from Gezae H of Tigray! That is the main problem , you coward people use or Copy Eritrean name and write very retarded ideas to mislead the public. This is a deliberate distortion of facts. Gezae Hagos of Eritrea is a smart fellow … He was a gold medal student @ the Law school in Asmara. He is one of the smart Eritrean around the corner. I respect this stand to Shaebiya but he is hard core Eritrean like PIA. It is natural to oppose or support governmnets but is a decent Eritrean.

    First you are dead wrong…. Gezae never been to South Africa….He come to Canada in 2000. He was zemen news paper board member….. Never been to South Africa.

    The Other coward Gezae H is from tigray… and the son of DERG….. is now a hard core weyane at heart and always write misleading articles…. Like the one by the name Halafi Mengedi… (aka Abreha Belay) … Thos etwo indivuadual have deap seated hatret towards Eritreans …. inferiority complex…. They cannot assimilate with their country… they have been to Eritrea and even some of them work in Eritrea…. they love eritreans more than thier country men of th proud Ethiopians….. They are confused ……people

    Do not compare apple with orange… please….

    Even I support shaebiya but I respect Gezae Hagos not the coward Gezae H from Awlalo……………..Gumaye Gumay……………..

    Can weyane Survive is the ……????

    Mind your own dirty business and I know who you are, a dying dog at the front door of your master Meles Seitanawi (Zenawi). I understand my comment has grinded your crooked bones, flattened your dribbling nose, shattered your monkey teeth, narrowed your abnormally elongated mouth, blinded your muzzy eyes, crippled your deformed knees, withered your tongue, befuddled your murky brains, and demoralized your soul.

    Take it easy and be domesticated, you wild donkey of the Sahara Desert! You change your screen name now and then to deceive the gullible; I will never be deceived by a Woyanne cadre like you. Do you get it?

  10. In mid-August, President Barack Obama signed into law the SPEECH Act. The new law, quickly passed by the House of Representatives and Senate, prevents foreign libel judgments from being upheld in the U.S. if the ruling would conflict with U.S. law.

    As U.S. journalists have celebrated the bill — including activist Rachel Ehrenfeld, whose own libel judgment spurred the legislation — UK advocates have seen the SPEECH Act as further proof that Britain’s libel laws need reform.

    “I’m deeply concerned by the growing restrictions imposed on Americans’ free speech by well financed organizations in the U.S. who abuse our laws and courts, filing frivolous lawsuits against anyone critical of their activities,” Ehrenfeld wrote in an e-mail to StinkyJournalism following the bill’s passing. She furthered that “it would have been good had the SPEECH Act provided for damages, too.”

    Ehrenfeld, director of the American Center for Democracy (which “monitors and exposes the enemies of freedom”) wrote in an e-mail to “friends and supporters” that “The Speech Act is of monumental importance to national security and the protection of free speech. [It] allows Americans to expose the enemies of freedom and democracy without fear of foreign intimidation,” according to the BBC.

    Ehrenfeld was sued in the UK in 2004 for her book Funding Evil by Saudi billionaire Khalid bin Mahfouz. She had identified Mahfouz as having “links to Al Qaeda, Hamas, and other radical Muslim organizations.” She lost the suit, but won’t abide by the ruling to destroy copies of her book. As a result of her case, state legislation was enacted to protect against overseas libel rulings, including in New York.

    England has been long considered a libel tourism destination, a label that British lawmakers and journalists have recently expressed interest in shedding.

    ==============
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-10940211

    BBC – President Barack Obama has signed into law new legislation protecting US writers from foreign libel judgements. The Speech Act, recently passed by Congress, makes foreign libel rulings virtually unenforceable in US courts. The act targets “libel tourists” who launch cases in countries whose legal systems are considered far more claimant-friendly, such as the UK. In the UK defendants must prove statements are true, whereas in the US claimants have to prove they are false.

    The change in US federal law stems from the case of the writer and academic, Rachel Ehrenfeld.

    She was sued in the High Court in London over a book on the funding of terrorism on the basis that although it was only published in the US, 23 copies were sold in the UK via the internet.

    Although she refused to take part in the action, she was ordered to pay £10,000 in damages to each of the wounded parties as well as costs.

    Ms Ehrenfeld thanked friends and supporters in an e-mail from the American Center for Democracy (ACD), of which she is director, after the law was signed by President Obama.

    “No longer will libel tourists be able to suppress the rights of American scholars, writers and journalists to speak, write and publish freely in print and on the internet,” she said.

    “The Speech Act is of monumental importance to national security and the protection of free speech. [It] allows Americans to expose the enemies of freedom and democracy without fear of foreign intimidation.”

    The federal legislation follows laws passed in some US states, including New York – where Ms Ehrenfeld is based – California, New Hampshire and Hawaii.

  11. After reading all the comments, Elias would have never raised an issue about Alamoudi if the man was half way dissent. I use to respect the Alamoudi’s love for his country and people. I was fooled, after knowing the capability of the man’s personal, political, business and social behavior I do not expect anyone to defend him. If he was not loaded with Saudi’s petro dollars he would have fallen in disgrace. But, he is buying Woyanes like street prostitutes and says more about Woynaes than him.

    Elsias may not approach the Alamoudi’s case conventionally but, he surly showing the Alamoudi have a whole lot rubbish of his own making that shooting the messenger would not cure.

    Is there any Woyane out there with a little pride left in him that would not sale anything, including the country for money?

  12. Here is more on the U.S. Speech Act. The U.S. Gov’t may even give money to Elias to cover his expenses against the Saudi billionaire’s harassment.

    Rachel Ehrenfeld: The Act protects these First Amendment guarantees by guarding authors and publishers from enforcement of frivolous foreign libel judgments from countries that do not have the United States’ strong free speech protections. Such suits, which have been pressed with increasing frequency worldwide over the past several years, have been used as a weapon to silence American researchers, scientists, reporters, bloggers and others.

    The SPEECH Act grants “a cause of action for declaratory judgment relief against a party who has brought a successful foreign defamation action whose judgment undermines the First Amendment,” and provides for legal fees in certain situations. It will help diminish the severe chilling effect such suits are having on publishers and authors investigating matters of public interest, such as national security, personal health, and safety.

    My experience, which gave rise to the New York State “Libel Terrorism Protection Act” (also known as “Rachel’s Law”), upon which the SPEECH Act is based, demonstrates why this legislation is urgently necessary.

    I am a New York-based scholar and have authored three books and hundreds of articles on terror financing, corruption, money laundering and narco-terrorism. In my last book, Funding Evil: How Terrorism is Financed – and How to Stop It, I documented how a Saudi billionaire, the late Khalid bin Mahfouz, had funded al-Qaeda, Hamas, and other terrorist organizations. Mahfouz sued me for libel in London, attempting to use the plaintiff-friendly British libel laws to silence me. He had used this tactic to bully more than forty authors, and publishers – including many Americans – into apologies and retractions of similar revelations.

    Since I never lived in England and had not published or marketed my book abroad, I refused to acknowledge the jurisdiction of the British courts. Incredibly, my refusal led the judge – without hearing a case on the merits, and in my absence – to make a declaration of falsity. He then issued a default judgment against me, ordering that I pay a hefty fine, apologize, retract my statements and pay Mahfouz’s substantial legal fees.

    I countersued Mahfouz in New York, asking for a declaratory judgment to prevent the enforcement of the English judgment on the grounds that such enforcement would violate American First Amendment protections of free speech.

    Soon after the Second Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the suit for lack of jurisdiction over Mahfouz, the New York State Legislature enacted the Libel Terrorism Protection Act, enabling New York courts to have jurisdiction over foreign plaintiffs who sue New York State authors and publishers abroad for libel.

  13. I think Al Amoudi messed with the wrong dude who care little about money and influence, as much as I disagree with you Elias on some issues, your courage and determination is one of a kind, but please, be very cautious of your physical whereabouts as this hoodlums might try something of a coward’s solution to a problem. I am enjoying the show, its a good lesson to Al Amoudi that there are certain families he can’t buy with money. Once again, screw them…..

  14. My dear old friend Gragn Ahmed #25,

    I am so happy you are still existing despite the heavy blow that fell upon your friend Al Amoudi, and I was afraid the blow might have swept you away and put you at the parapet of Hira Mountain, in Mecca so that you can perform your Ramadan at the holy place of Mecca. Don’t refrain from commenting on any issues: Christianity, Islam, Church, Mosque, Synagogue, politics, race, color, gender, democracy, slavery, freedom of speech, women’s right, child labor, Ethiopian maids in the Arab world…

  15. Dear Ethiopians,

    What most makes me wonder is why you people never to try to understand any arguments than jumping on people just vent to vent your biased, prejudiced opinions.

    Omo, you can call me any name if that makes you happy. All what your wrote has nothing to do with what I was trying to udderstand. Where did I talk about Eritrea? Shabia? I just have hard time understanding people you. Why you do not take time to understand what people say instead of jumping on people.

    I will not argue with you because your response is irrelevant to what I was trying to say. Global village bunny dunny, dilly and dally, is just useless arguemnt does not touch what I was trying to say. It is not your fault, but you have along way to go my friend. Trust me, I know you think know, but you know little and you know little knowledge is very dangerous.

    Amhara princess: I respect your opinion. I am affraid but you also did not get my message. I assure you did not undestand me. My thoughts are real and that is everything I wrote is mind provocative. But my brotherly advices to you, take time and try to understand the message than to response with such weak or argument does not convince anyone.

    Who said chemistry cannot be translated to amharic or tigrignea or oromignea? who told you? Who told you maths cannot be written in oromignea or tigrignea or …?

    Who educate you like that? Is it that your good teacher of yours? And you think you know? That is also a big problem. If we were to sit around a table I assure I could beat all of you in real time.

    Amhara pricencess: Chemistry was written long ago even before the english came to exist. Chemistry, physics, maths,… is written not only english, but in French, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, Iranian, Spanish,Japanese, Hebrew, Finish, Swede language, Norwegian, Korean,… etc. Your argument is the weakest argument I can think of.

    My argument is not against english or any language. My argument is science and Technology has to be translated to local language and make accessible to the million of people because of millions of people are kept in darkness now because they have to learn first english and then science and they die … my argument is to cut the learning process to local language than to spend my entire life learning english which I hardly understand. This is based on facts in Ethiopia, the education system is not helping the people. The problem is not the people, it is the education system. The education system is an insulator for Ethiopians to live in darkness.

    About amharic? most Ethiopians are not found of amharic because of amhara dominance in the past. The oromos do not want to amharic, and the others the same. We need a language that does not allow one tribe to use as tool of dominance. And Amharic without Geez is nothing. Geez is dead amharic is alive is wrong. Amharic is sleep on top of Geez. There can never be amharic or Tigrignea without Geez. Your undesstanding is shallow and opinionated , not based on pure thought and reasoning. You need to spend time thinking before giving response.

    Omo, you are out of topic as I said. You need to reconfigure yourself. I am telling from life experience, not just from opinionated personal ego.

    You can experts in anthropology, they will proof to you that forcing people to learn in a non native language is due to ignorance. You global village theory is useless. I have studied globalization full time for one solid year, but your global village does not exist anywhere. Globalization is defined differently by different interest groups. And is irrelevant to what I said. Because of your non existent unicorn global village, the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, Jews, Arabs, Japanese, Taiwanise, Frenches,… are not giving up their language to another. Omo, you think you are clever, but you do not know what you are talking about .

    You are better commentator compared to many in this blog, but you lost it all now. You are talking about the village you do not know? The Chinese wanted their village, and the Americans wanted their village, the Arabs wanted their village,… which global village are you talking about? It is people like you are putting our nation in the most hazardous situation. You leading the young generation to nowwhere. No direction and no vision, just copy, cut and paste everything. Nothing wrong using your own language.

  16. I hope sooner or later the incompetent us administration for African affairs and us state dept come to realize their true enemies as the hard die AL Quaida member and financier sheik Al Amoudi who operates behind the screen of tyrant Meles Zenawi,Ethiopian leader and fight the real fight, fight against terrorists and extremists.
    The people of the horn Somalis,Ethiopians,Sudanese and Eritreans in their history never practice religious extremism. U.S administration has to review its dangerous and stupid policy of stubbing his own self and loosing the support of all people of horn of Africa by stripping them of their freedom through the support of Psycopath Meles Zenawi and his true friend terror supporting Sheik Al Amoudi,once again terror supporter and a zealot operating behind the name of poor Ethiopians.
    Finally I really can not miss the moment to appreciate the courage and bravery of Ato Elias Kifle for standing against injustice,and confronting Evil with all its money and power connections.

  17. I just feel sad for some of the idiot sluts of TPLF like number 7 and 52 what do you call these TPLF monkeys. To go back to the main point I think Alamudi is an active terrorist right now for looting the Ethiopian gold and taking poor farmers land in Ethiopia you people talk about the hidden Alamudi’s crimes why you have to dig deep to find his crimes to humanity there is an open wide and wild work of him everywhere for everyone to see in the TPLF led Ethiopia. He takes the land of poor Ethiopians then he builds his kingdom and hotels. He also pollutes rivers and water supplies of poor defenseless Ethiopians during his gold digging process. So Graghn go to your mothers useless rat producing womb do not waste your slut time here nobody will be scared with your terroristic threat you godless crazy low mind radical Arab slave are you trying to frighten us, oh! my lord you shook us with fear again we are shaking non stop with fear with your threat you idiot go to hell or sleep with your ugly sister as you learned from your uncle Alamudi you can not scare us do not come here for good unless you change your slut name as you do it daily with every topic posting. Don’t you know we liv in USA did you forget it you can not silence us with your black body like us but borrowed Arab mentality. You can not scare us you bastard you better know it by now after September 2001 crime.

  18. The honorable Al-Amoudi seems to suffer from multiple personality disorder . There are things he done in his life that he don’t remember doing at all . The reason why he do not want to be questioned by the U.S. authorities is because he wants to hide his mental health problem from the public .

  19. Why is the Woyane and Alamoudi stooges are afraid of Gezahee and intelligent people like him? Of course he gave solutions to problems and are too afraid of his competency that could affect Weyane and Alamoudi. You see, they are better of off with insults coming from other emotional Ethiopians than genious people like Gezahee, Nigis Saba, etc commentators because these people focus on process, process, process, we need people like that. ER, please don’t follow those who oppose the geniuses and find out for yourself and it doesn’t matter, who cares who they are, we don’t play by ethnicity if they are genuiune and have concern for the horn of Africa.

    Melbourian,

    For how long are we Ethiopian sitting in idle and doing nothing pray tell because of the scary word, FEAR. Our forefathers have sacrificed themselves for us and yet because we the fortunate ones have comfortable life we are now very SENSITIZED to fear of death. I admire Elias who is taking all odds and taking risk and it is kind of pride to think maybe we have an Ethiopian hero that we have all searching for. Indeed Ethiopa needs a hero to inspire the rest of us. It is also not fair for Elias to take all the burden and others should appear, not just sitting behind computer but doing the good deed.

    Mario,

    If what you say is true dividing the diaspora by sending a.nd paying spies, then he is not only against Elias, he is also against the diaspora

    Long live ONE Ethiopia!

  20. Go ahead!! If God is for us, who can be against us? Rom 8: 31
    The time of peace and love for Christians and Muslims of all denominations, all tribes and tongues,the time of equity and development, justice and democracy for East Africa and the Arab world is very near!! The main actors. Al-Almouidi, Isiais and Meles is over and over!! Praise Lord Jesus, who reveals hidden secrets and do what man could’t do at His own time for His own glory! No money, no lobbying, no force , no knowledge hinders the work of God, the source of all truths!!

  21. @14. Oromo…there is no place called borena in sidama zone. Borena by itself is a zone in south OROMIA. Sidama zone is in SNNP. For your information, Alamudi has two huge gold mine sites in Oromia:(1)in Shakiso,Borena Zone ,SouthOROMIA; (2)in Legedembi, East Wollega Zone, West Oromia.

  22. Al Amoudi is in the chargelist from among the wanted criminals who invaded Ethiopia two decades ago and stil are looting and murdering Ethiopians.Basically,Zinawi and Al Amoudi are one and the same because they are illegal resident-exploiters and sabautors;this is why both looters are on the top of the stack to be arrested when the right and the just time arrives;of course,it will.

    It is true that residents of Addis have been deeply irretated by what Al Amoudi has been behaving and acting as if Ethiopia is the society he was born and grew up,however he failed to understand where he is illegally living,in Ethiopia is quite different from where he has been fooling around;now he is claiming he an Ethiopian simply because he connected with Zinawi in many illegal things he has been doing;therefore,whether he is a foreigner or a fake an Ethiopian,he shall be brought to justice along with those Zinawians who smuggled him into Ethiopia.

  23. Elias,
    Don’t you think CIA would know better than your investigation:)? anyway this report is to show that your not scarred to report about the billionaire even though you were handed $270000 bill to pay.

  24. Is not a case to be filed where the defendant lives and/or works. You May need to appeal the case to be transfered to the juristriction nearest you. It might work especially if you have family and work obligation that might restrict your travel. Try your very best not to take defeat. It will mwke a difference.

    The picture of Sara Al…. posted on ER several months back was a woman in 20 to 30 something covered in a modern version of moslem black clothes. Some one who had access to much $$$$$$$, owns property, lived with her boybriend who later died.

    The one in the case is a thirteen years old Sara who does not wear the black veil. Elias by now knows how the story overlapped or was mispresented by its original source.

  25. The one who comments by the pen name annonymus 63 and 67 is a paid servant of the arab tujar with no knowledge of Ethiopians except being told by woyanne gangs and the saudi billionaire who thinks he can buy those type of peoples in his finger tips so was the British judges act as he only follows british interest and in this case dancing with money nusic of the lootting woyanne financial wing that waits for prosecution by Ethiopians and all 20 years deeds vanishs like a thin air the day after woyanne removal.

  26. To Elias: Why don’t you simply ask for donation to settle the an avoidable verdict that you brought on yourself because of your ignorance, instead of attempting to createg something out of nothing? Now, I see your nightmares!

    To Hirute: Ethiopia is not moved by any form of leverage that the US may have. We are firm on our stands. We don’t bow down to any power whatsoever.

  27. Ecveryone knew from the get go Al- Amoudi is the finance handler of the Al-Qaida. He benefited from handling their money, even though he knew no one wanted to accommodate Al-Qaida’s money but he went ahead and did that with total disregard to the concerns of the world.

  28. Al Amoudi Is not only Elias Enemy.Elias took a stand against him because he can’t stand seeing what this guy is doing to Ethiopia collaborating with blood sucker weyanes.Any attack against Elias is attack on Ethiopia.Elias could act like some of us by keeping quite.But Elias choose to confront this monster knowing how strong he is in satanic ways.So let us not look from outside as if it is a case of Al Amoudi vs Elias.It is not.It is a confrontation Between Ethiopia and agent of Ethiopia’s Historical Enemies (Al-Hamoudi and weyane)

  29. What is Almoudi’s crime,why you people are against him,I started beliving ethiopian govt.media outlets propaganda as ethiopian review is mercinary tool for shabia. We all know very well Alamoudi is number one enemy for shabia, i have incredible info. about that …..

    Alamoud’s crime is investing his money in ethiopia and supporting ethiopians, employing fourty sthousend ethiopians think about how many family members are behind this people and supporting ethiopian defence force finacilally when our national security, integrity and territory is in risk of aggressors like shabia lead by blood trusty old maniac the only thing he know is firing klasincov gun.

    This is some of us ethiopians problem when one of our own is doing well we don’t like it , if now British or American companies are mining the gold mine it is oki.

    You are accusing Alamoudi islamization of ethiopia but the reality is in the contrary if you know or wants to know what ethiopian muslims are think about him.

    By the way when i read this article and some of the comments brother Elias looks like scared of law suite in America court by Alamoudi looks like a deterrant action, you know very well money can talk in american justice, you can get away with murder in america.

    On top of that Ethiopian federal police is recently commenced “campaign internatinal” which is bringing back to ethiopia crimnal suspects and individuals who links with terorrist organisations; watch out guys, otherwise prepare kalti will be your future home.

    For Balcha

    I am not threatning any one i just giving wise advice, I am not a person who belive in threat and hate.

    Surprising thing watch how shabian dogs are concerned about alamodis issue read their comments, Please PM Melesse bring back our port ASSEB and give eritreia for peace loving eritrians.

    bye for now

  30. Elias why do you care if Al Amoudi is wanted in U.S Or anywhere? What Do you care? Why don’t you use your time for something else like reporting on starving children on streets of Shagar/Addis or in south Oromia,Kenya,& Ogdean?

  31. Dear old friend Assta Getu,

    Despite what you guys wrote about free speech I am not allowed to post my comments in any Ethiopian website unless it is in its mild form. If you had a chance to have read my comments that were censored you would hate to call your selves “Lion of Judah”. Sawa would have been a better place for cyberthugs like Assta and Elias. They just don’t understand civil discourse, investigative journalism and journalism.

    What Ato or Mr Kifle is doing is investigative journalism which is a new field in Ethiopia and which can get you hells if you don’t follow the rules. Is this Willaim Assage? Have not the Wiki leaks revealed if Al Amoudin was a terrorist.

    UK is a land of Zionists and tabloids so if you get your information from UK sources you will end up been on the wrong side of the story.

    All kinds of information are fabricated and just yesterday we heard that Prince Al Naif Saudi Arabia won a libel class action law suit against the Independent news paper which published stories that allege that the Prince had ordered the mass detaintion of protetestors although the fake March call out did not occur at all.

    http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=232329

    Unlike our country defamation is a serious issue in the West and at the same time a good source of income for those who expose true stories. Now what troubles me about Mr Elias is his level of ignorance when it comes to understaning his job. He is truly very far behind in many matters. Simply posting another’s newspaper stories with out due process of scrutiny makes as liable as the person who published the original stories. so innocence does not get you any where.

    Concering my demise, Assta Getu, you wrote that I will never come back. the reason is simple Ato Elias is scared to death of my comments and he even bloacked me for a while. BY the way I have not known Al Amoudin and I neither his guardain. He is a capable person who runs the whole world and does not need my protection neither do I need his protection as I am born a free man. My issues for being here is to protect the innocent proud Ethiopian from the jackals who are here writing bad stuff and denigrating everybody a muslim. It is my country and I can comment on the issues as I see it. So priest Assta this will not be good news for you and that is not my intention to please you.

    Ramadan Mubarek

    End of Elias has come.

    End of Assta is next project.

  32. “It is clear Al Amouid is not just a buisness man he muist have been introduced to Shbian and Weyane clique by high placed Arab league officialls”and being advised by paul hinze top cia agent to create a financial wing to loot the nation as a policy to create weak citizen.

  33. For the record, i got to confess the reason that forced me to uncover the nice gentleman from awate.com is not to shame him but to protect the real another ‘kind citizen’ sheep/Elias from the possiblity of risking swallowed later by some kind of wolf in a sheep’s skin.
    It’s amusing that some sleeper agents in order to step into the Plantation Ranch Of The Kind Citizen Sheeps(Ethiopian main stream societies), the prerequsites to fillful is simlple: raising the Eritrean Card by distancing themselves from thier secret bosses of the Menelik Palace. To be brutally honest, it wouldn’t surprises me at all if these opportunists go sleeping at night when wrapping up thier toxic activities by praying and hailing ‘Long Live Shaebia’ coz as much as they hate admitting it, w/out shaebia woyane wouldn’t have been existed controlling the birth palace of weizero Lusy. What an irresponsible insult to the peaceloving decent Ethiopian people and playing w/dangerious of innocent lives!
    Having said that, i sincely hope ER wouldn’t deny any bloggers b/c of their poletical standing either. It should live upto its right principles of free speech for all. Otherwise, it would just mean betraying the essence of democracy like back home.
    There is this funny saying in Eritrea “Hatsirini entebelkus tedebiru yse’es’e/As if it’s not i already have enough torture sharing the dancing floor w/a miget, he keeps on dancing by kneeling”. In the same token, nothing wrong crizicing or giving constuctive comments no matter how wrong/right even silly it might seem the point; however, promoting indirectly own hidden agendas by appearing innocent angels which looks crocodile tears is totally different story. I think no one with a sane normal head can take meles’s and his sinior godfather eseyas preaching about malti-democracy elections by the fair voting box while all they wish privately is remaining for life dictators.
    In my humble personal opinion, may i allowed applying basic logic mathematics to present my case to this honorable court of law (hopefuly, fair&just) by asking the following probable-cause questions please; lets say, if any suspected soul’s preminary investigative research foot prits leads us to such as the good folks of certain questionable websites door-step homes (like the above mentioned brother); then, where could be the end destination of the reconnedted imaginary dots behind the screen? I respectifully rest my case your honor by leaving the final verdict to the dignified audieces of this chamber.
    YES, UNITED WE STAND: FOR- HUMAN RIGHTS, GENUINE-DEMOCRACY, EQUALITY, FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, RULE OF LAW, EQULITY, UNITY, NONVIOLENCE, DEVELOPMENT, LASTING PEACE, ETC!
    YES, UNITED WE STAND: AGAINST- DICTATORSHIPS + CORRUPTIONs + GENOCIDE PERPATRATORS + WARMONGGERS/WARLORDS + EXPLOITATIONs + OPPORTUNIST PUPPETS + MINORITY RULE + APARTHIED CLILISM + LAND GRABBING + OPPRESSIONs + CHOAS, ETC = ENDLESS POVORTY. Amen And Amen!
    Peace&Love

  34. “To Hirute: Ethiopia is not moved by any form of leverage that the US may have. We are firm on our stands. We don’t bow down to any power whatsoever.”

    You are 70 percent reliant on foreign aid, what the hell are you talking about:)-

  35. Comment by Gragn Ahmed,…..

    You are one of the most ignorant, hopelessly stupid, stone headed yokel that I have ever seen in this world. How the hell can you say Al Amoudi runs the world, not even the US as a nation runs this world, maybe that’s what your extremist ideology taught you. Mikhail Khodorkovsky of Russia, at one time, one of the Top 10 richest men in the world few years ago is now in prison, losing millions by the hour that he no longer is a billionaire, the kind of money he had was something you can’t compare with that of Al Amoudi’s money, Al Amoudi is hardly a powerful multi-billionaire compared with that guy and there are many more languishing in prisons around the world despite their wealth and their influence within the society and the politicians in their pockets. You are so screwed up deep in your brains that you try to say Elias is scared of you, dude, you are simply nobody to be scared of, imagine, Elias got some heavy hitter enemies in leadership positions and financial empires and he still is messing with them without being intimidated, so tell me, how can a rat in a shit hole like you can scare him, you wish, dreamer. And after all that, you tried to write about journalism, man, come on now, just go back to school and read something about journalism. But the problem is, towelheads like you will never understand a thing, Regarding Assta Gettu, even though I know that he got some extreme views regarding religion, i totally agree with him because its people like you who create belligerent Christians who say enough is enough and walk one step away from ideals of Christianity that humbles and provides nothing but love. Anyways, it takes more than a missile to break your head and make you understand things. Tota ye tota tiwilid neh ante.

  36. The Idiot, Gragn Ahmed is not only confused but also limited. One should not give a time for idiots who think Gragn Ahmed is a liberator like Zenawi. His confusion of Islam with thugs like Al Moudi and terrorists like Gragn Ahmed tells it all.

    Mr Gragn can not swallow the fact that peudo moslems like Almoudi and the late Gragn Ahmed (Ethiopia’s Bin Laden) are the one who are killing moslems in may parts of the world and undermining the relgion.

    Al Moudi is a blood sucker who is benefiting from dying children and women irrespective of their religions.

    Dont bring your nonsense to defend your ass-daddy Al Moudi!

  37. Why are people silly that much. If Alamudi lives in the Uk, what is the difference. You think England is not the closest country to the US. You think He is hiding himself in London from the US! Why are we not analyse things? You are trying to say that England supports Bin Laden(Alqueda) and so Alamudi. Leave this man alone. He is innocent! Elias pls calm down…

  38. To those who sing Al Amoudi’s praise of financial power and generousity, for a poor country to have ONE MAN to own so much including Ethiopia’s gold mine and land lease, a team of thorough and investigative journalists could be capable of an awekening series on the subject. The man is well connected and works with the Arab world and he can easily be the front man.

    From word of mouth to the companies he runs/owns, there are % of Ethiopians who benefit either as competant professionals working in some of his companies or a tale of token and/or genuine help ;but personaly, I never came across news that Ethiopians either have part ownership or share in his “investments”. Disclosure of public information may not be available in Ethopia either.

    Every thing needs to be in some perspective. What matters now is the case is a reality, sorting out the best way TO WIN it OR SETTLE it should be the SUPPORTIVE PROCESS. Some of the contributers here have some facts and a continuation of that could be a step forward.

  39. Dear Gragn Ahmed #85,

    You are not the only one whose comments are not posted; some of my comments have never been posted; therefore, don’t blame Elias Kifle because he does not have adequate time to read all comments, especially yours and mine which are always too long to read. You must soften, moisturize, and tenderize your hard-to chew and swallow comments.

    I wonder why you want me to end up in Sawa instead of in Qaliti, and why do you wish bad things to your Ethiopian friend in this holy season of Ramadan? Your comment carries no good news at all, and I don’t want to hear Prince Al Naïf’s victory on his libel suit against another journalist, and you are celebrating those two victory days with the winners. I am glad those victories are far away from the United States, the land of the true freedom of speech. For the time being, let the Arab princes and the Al Amoudi enjoy in their victories, but their victories do not last long. Suddenly, they will be wheeled, put in a cage, and driven away to the court to receive their punishments like Hussein Mubarak of Egypt.

    You said Elias Kifle is an ignorant person; I don’t agree with your characterization: Elias Kifle is a fighter for the truth, and he will die fighting for it; he will sacrifice his life for the Ethiopian people.

    Finally, you concluded your lovely comment (you see I am smoothing the tone of my comment) by saying: “So priest Assta this will not be good news for you and that is not my intention to please you.” How come you don’t want to please your country man? Why do you prefer annoying me to pleasing me, encouraging me, helping me, and lifting me up? In this case, you are not going to get any burial place in Axum Zion and no indemnity.

  40. Webshet Amelie says:”If am not mistaken Almoudi was in the US where he donated millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation to fight HIV/AIDS. You can check it.”

    You are mistaken big time–next!

  41. I believe he is part of TPLF’s conspiracy. This person and EFFORT are Woyane money machines. Let Tigray prosper while Ethiopia despair is not an empty phrase. All those PDOs whom TPLF created are TPLF machines. Those who keep on dreaming that TPLF has good intention for Ethiopia are disregarding TPLF manifesto as if it is not a policy of T. Imagining some dream of TPLF’s Ethiopians disregards TPLF’s policy the fact that TPLF was is and will be for T. There is no harm to think Africa was Ethiopia because Africa is not currently colonizing Ethiopia. But there is harm in thinking T of TPLF is Ethiopia because that false perception misses to view the real cause of misery that has been occurring in plane view of Ethiopians on Ethiopians and Ethiopia by an occupying force, such as crimes against humanity, genocide … TPLF of T is occupying and exploiting Ethiopia and Ethiopians. This persons wealth grew many folds while world is on recession do to Ethiopian gold marble and other exploitations TPLF does through those two right hands of TPLF.

  42. Webshet. Al Amoudi donated 20 million dollars to Hillary Clinton president campaign while he was in London. He was not in USA. I think he is afraid to fly to USA.
