Ethiopia’s beggar dictator fixated on Eritrea

Posted on , Updated on by EthiopianReview.com

By Elias Kifle

The Government of Eritrea has no choice but to launch a diplomatic offensive as Ethiopia’s khat-addicted dictator Meles Zenawi is bent on effecting a regime change in Eritrea through economic {www:strangulation} to be followed by a military attack. Meles has set his sight, to the point of obsession, on installing a puppet regime in Asmara in order to complete his mission of completely dominating Ethiopia for several years to come. Even as famine is ravaging millions of Ethiopians, Meles’ focus is Eritrea.

Earlier this week, when President Isaias Afwerki of Eritrea unexpectedly went to Uganda on a state visit, many Ethiopians and Eritreans were caught by surprise. Some have speculated [read here] that Uganda’s president-for-life Yoweri Mussevini is attempting to broker a deal between Isaias and Meles. It turns out that Isaias’ visit to Uganda is part of Eritrea’s diplomatic offensive in Africa to stop the United Nations Security Council from voting to impose further economic sanction, including a ban on its promising gold mines [read here]. The Security Council withheld its vote only after its African members, namely Nigeria and South Africa, expressed disagreement. In this regard, Isaias Afwerki may have scored a major diplomatic victory against the Woyanne junta this week.

Up to now, the Eritreans have unwisely left the diplomatic and political arena to Meles and his Woyanne junta. They also have not made a serious effort to reach out to Ethiopians to be on their side, other than occasional lip service. If Isaias and Eritreans redirect their focus from military preparations to diplomacy and politics, they can annihilate Woyanne without firing a single shot.

  1. To it’s just the state that could change farmers’ plantation system, how and when you can grow food for the entire population and do not judge farmers, the State’s fault or the State Aid addicted must be stopped the state to throw all 1200 Aid organsation which only creates problems for the country and to society as a whole and instead build dusts and save as rains throughout the summer but but Weyane care just about of United States or western country rather than thinking of their own people and we must learn from the Eritrean government how to deal with aid organization that’s just become foes with western countries a few years after that solved everything, no starvation, no malaria, etc.and long live for all east Afrikan country

  2. Meles is a sadistic person who likes to humiliate his enemies after defeating them. Look what he did to Siye, Tamrat, Hailu Shawel, Birtukan, OLF, Kinijit, Eritreans … too many to list here. Among all his victims, Eritreans have suffered the most humiliation. But the worst enemy of Eritreans is not Meles. It is their arrogance.

  3. Elias Kifle (THE MOST ANTI-WEYANE Ethiopian), you hit TPLFites, Weyanes with one deadly bullet, and the hit is right on their head. This is a dangerous zone you are venturing in, and they will take you down one of these days. … They think they have patent on the friendship between Eritreans and Ethiopia as well as the region, they do not know what to do now. They used to think they have the US political services on their side, but we robbed them of that just in time. They have now nothing, even nothing has some meaning, they have nothing without a meaning.

  4. ‘Mikegna Yerasu Megagna’. The border war of Badime was nothing but corrupt scheme that TPLF concieved and excuted to hurt Eritrean people because at that time Eritrean focused to transform their economy like Singapore. That idea gave headache to TPLF cadres and came up with fictitious border crises, and in the process they were able to confisicate the properties of hard working Eritreans and Ethiopians nationals, at the time they were able to consolidate their power over Ethiopia. This time they are listening to the news that Eritrean economy will grow as one of the fastest economies in the world and the gold and other mineral wealth of Eritrea will add to the growth and TPLF would not like to that to happen. So they are planning another invasion. Regretably they may succed at the expense of poor Ethiopian unemplyed youth who would the cannon foder for their evil project, as always they say ‘Gala bimot Gala yetekal’, and in the process they think they will deep thier hand on the Eritrean mineral wealth, which means the region will be caught in another visious circle of poverty.

  5. Your article is too brief for a complex matter especially given the fact that Issayas turned out to be found contrary to the very interview he gave to you and The EPPF EC member about two years ago.

    UN exposed his mission to attack the recent AU meeting held in Addis. In retrospect, the optimisticaly lengthy interview he gave to you 2 years back was diplomatic and political. There are times that no matter how much you or any body else oppose and/or hate Meles and regime, some factors stand out when it comes to safety, stablity and security. Whatever happened to the recent news that 17 Ethiopians were murdered in Eritrea?

    The season to buy off optimism on Issayas has faded if not gone. You have the right to keep up your passion with Eritrean issue and Issayas; it does not mean that line of thought would be embraced as much as the last time you advocated for him.

  6. Elias,

    It seems like you will never learn. You are back to your “Isaias is God” nonsense. You, along with your cohorts are so disconnected from the reality on the ground in Ethiopia, and from the Ethiopian people, you have no idea what you are talking about. It really amazes me (boggles my mind actually) how you believe Isaias (or the Eritrean regime) is the remedy for all that ails Ethiopia. Kante aynet mehayim yisewiren.

  7. If the war starts , it will be disaster to both sides. It is not the reason for war. It should be by diplomatic means. who is going to benefit from the war? The two brotherly people or the merchants who sell arms and other things. Please note do not be foolish to go to war. At the end it is destruction and misory, nothing else. Now it will be the worst war for both sides.

  8. Elias Kifle let me give you a brotherly advise. stop being a follower and be a leader. You are extremely good at organizing. I have seen you in action. Let shabia and woyane f**k each other up. Both hate Ethiopia, particularly the Amhara people. Do your own thing.

  9. First of all thank you Elias for your hard work, that was a well done job as usual. Thank you number 48 LIBERTY for the link I found it funny and sad. Why and how an old 60 years old man whom he calls himself a leader of over 80 millions of people makes a false representation of himself in front of the whole world to see him. What a shame really. I have saved this link for future reference and right now I have forwarded to 6 people before I finished reading your post thank you again. However I felt Meles has not grown up yet to be an adult he still thinks just like a 5 years old child deceiving is normal if he thinks it will save him from his fear. Last not least I would not mind together if Esayas and Meles sink just like Tytanic to the bottom of the deepest ocean in the world. Both are evil and they hate Ethiopia I am 100% sure Esayas hates Ethiopia than his hate of Meles and TPLF so people do not expect love or fairness for Ethiopia and its people from both Tigreans and Eritreans because they hate us more than their hate of each other. Right now they will not show their hate of Ethiopians because right they are on a market of adding their supporter base. If things go right I am sure they will not hesitate to march against Ethiopians as they did in the past many times. However if they start war I will side with Esayas because I know at least I can predict what Esayas is going to do next unlike the political prostitute Meles. Please every freedom fighter mainly pro Ethiopian do not waste your time going to Asmara we can fight TPLF from home we can use their own stolen wealth from us to wage a war against TPLF. We can make life miserable for the Tigrean tiffs as they did our life painful and sad for the last 37 years I am sure if Meles’s time is over from Ethiopia and if he runs just like Mengistu the dictator to Eritrea they will take him with his Tigrean people with open hand and heart when they kill us as they did to our Arbegna fighters. In short do not believe 99.6% Tigreans and 75.00% of Eritreans because they are brothers and sisters yes they figh when we sleep however if they think we are on a move they will be brothers and sisters again. For instance there is a call of demonstration in September in Ethiopia however Medrek has refused to join because of Eseye Abraham and Gebru Asrat you should know by now they are under cover agents of TPLF so people do not hope anyone who is Tigrean or Eritrean.

  10. The junta in Ethiopia is on life support and it has been since 2000, why are yoy giving it credence thaT IT DID NOT DESERVE. As for Eritreans we love to work with Ethiopians, but first lets star with what unites us not divide us.

    Ezi we DeHnekum

  12. I personally am not a supporter of Zenawi Government (nor am I an opponent). But all I see here is talk talk talk. Your hatred of the Zenawi government is so strong that you align yourself with governments who do not wish well for Ethiopia. Limit the bounds of your stupidity and think how we all can contribute positively to our country. Dont give the Ethiopian people empty rhetoric from your comfortable life in the US and Europe. Shut your pie hole or go back to Ethiopia and fight for what you believe in!

  13. #61.Tulu Oda,

    In the same way that you are a dedicated house servant of tplf ዲንጋይ ራስ (stone head). You must be looking at yourself in the mirror. Bye the way, write your false stolen nickname “Tulu” with double “ll”, like “Tullu”. It is not so easy for a Tigrian cadre to write Oromo names with correct spelling.

  14. Look fellow ethiopians how the shabian dogs are scrambling here and the by spitting their venom pretending ethiopians. beware again most of the above comments are shabian dogs venoum to divide ethiopian brothers. We all either the supporter of ethiopian govt. policy or those who against it by the end of the day we all ethiopians even if we got minor differences. Shabian dogs again stay away from ethiopian affairs.

    God bless peace loving ethiopian and eritrian.

    DEATH FOR SHABIANS

    LONG LIVE EPRDF

  15. azalech,

    “Elias I like your unconventional approach to politics.” you wrote

    Just watch as to how the big and the small fat belly tplf dictatorial cadres are shivering deep down to their sinful bones and fire fighting in all directions till their heart stops functioning very soon. Eliase’s activism places very high pressure on the hearts and minds of robber tyrants. They can’t rob and go to sleep in peace with tubes from whiskey barrels attached to their mouth without being exposed and shamed.

    Elias answers for himself but just to add a little comment to your open comment I personally think that your comment sounds very funny because you are reflecting the oldy, the coldy and the politics of ONLY talking without doing anything in practice and on the ground and then finally fading away in to the thin air.

    Politics must necessarily be dynamic, that is to say, both talking and doing, involving and rearranging coalitions and power alliances in a constantly fluid and dynamic manners operating in a constantly fluid and dynamic changing world of the 21st century, say, if you ever want to produce results that are beneficial to communities and societies in a new way. The politics of opposition is to oppose! And that is the basis of pluralism and democracy itself.

    That is what the Tunisian, the Egyptians, the Libyans, etc. are doing but you may have in mind the docile and ossified inert Ethiopian oppositions who have been robbed all of their votes in the 2010 fake election and thrown out of the tyrants private parliament by the cunning fox tyrant tplf but since then still sitting back stigmatized passive like FAT ducks and keep licking their wounds while some of them still keep missing long dead and buried patriots when they themselves may very well play the new living role of living patriots in order to transform Ethiopia in to a living new democracy where justice may come to prevail for all.

  17. Elias, i can see how desperate you are. It sounds that your forwarding the best advice you could ever provide for Isayas to help him tighten his grip to his loosening grip.Let me tell you what Meles Zenawi may enjoy most out of this ritual. Meles does need Isayases quick death, he likes to see the prolonged agoney and painful death of him and his supporters “No War No Peace, We shall enjoy seeing them dieing the slow and agonizing death”. We need him to be there and enjoy looking his flesh drop off of his bones. That is what is happening, poor Issas,skinny and poorly dressed, i could not see him as graceful as one of Museveniys body guards. It is really pathetic to see him lowered to this level. Meles could have borrowed him one of his elegant London made business atires if he had a good obidient character. What a looser…. He who turn down a nice offer, shall be denied of any if showed up after the hour…

  18. Anonymous #54,
    Please don’t get carried away with your one sided story to the point where blame Ethiopians for the incident. That is just not true. The source of the two thousand war may have been economic rivalery, personal clash etc. The world knows to had Melese chose to fight Eretria could have been leveled to the ground in less than a month. I have watched that war, especially I knew the Ethiopian army was a volunteer and willing army ready to stamp out anything that will stand on the way. When the war begins the world watched in disblieve, as diplomats flee Asmara Airport. Within three days Ethiopia tore apart the western flank of I.A defense to occupy Barentu, Mendefera.Further east, our army cut through Bure eying towards Assab. It was at this point Asmara lamented to the world in the following words Ethiopia’s war over Eretria now is a territorial ambition. At this moment Melese for no without any explanation brought the war to complete stop and saved his cousin. Legese and I.A are secret strategically allies, but overtly they appear foes. Ethiopians are not fools; we came from the same stock. Not only we can disappear the events we see unfolding before us we may even be able to read the hidden agenda stuck behind the minds of these tribal leaders. The Amharic puts it this way

    EBABE LE EBABE YETEYAYAL CAB LE CAB.

  19. Weyane’s backbone were broken at tsorona Eritrea.These former tplf weyane tegadelti hard core fighters got surprise attack by Eritrean army,it was a very bloody beyond none of you know about.Meles never told the Tigray peope what happened to these innocent tigray fughters(25,000-50,0000).That is why weyane can’t fight Eritrea at all even with help of his instractors.Weyane is in a deep water unable to swim.

  20. Ataklit#47, indateyale Ataklet yelem ante arem merze nehe: molacha leba:: Ante yezere asedabi yante yeteserke habte bante ije ayqereme:: qenehene bicha tebeke:: We all aware that for the last 20 plus years only your ethnic group has been benefiting on the backs of 83 million Ethiopians. Your kinds are unethical, disgraced and shameless group of people.

  22. First of all why are you concerned about Eritrea? if you are ETHIOPIAN and wants to see A peaceful and strong Ethiopia then talk about peace and respect for eacother. I have been checking your web-site for the last ten years could not find any thing postive about Ethiopia. you are kind of angry for life. you are always on the Eritrean side you even chose Esayase Afewerki as person of the year on your web-sie, which you are entitled to do so. what bothers is me when you lie as if you are Pro ethiopia. please leave us alone.you do not have to fight with every body some times you have to accept facts. i do not even know if you are making money of this poltics. I think there is a lot other ways where you can money with out offending people.

  23. According to Mr Mulongo, Afewerki stands for a united Somalia, referred to as “ five-star Somalia” that comprises the regions of Ogaden, the Somali territory in the north of Kenya, Djibouti, Somaliland and Puntland.

    Hello Elias, if the above is true I am truly lost why you are supporting Eritrea. I have been following since 1992. Eventhough I disagreed with your tactics I have never questioned your love for Ethiopia. I am truly worried with your support of Mr. Afeworki, how do you assure us the guy is not our enemy. My enemy”s enemy is my freind does not work for me on ethiopia
    thx

  24. Tulu, aren’t you concerned Ethiopian too, why don’t go and see for yourself ??????

    Mr Elias is doing his thing successfully by making Woyane miserable through his website.

  26. Elias,

    I am really confused on where you are heading on Eritrea’s issue. Destroying one dictator at a time is the way. Yes, Meles and Weyane has to go, so does Shaebia and Eritrea. Are you kidding me? Why are you propping up Eritrea when Ethiopia is in desperate situation? It is possible that you want to make Weyane mad by being with Shaebia but, if you really are worried about Eritrea where Ethiopia will never ever have peace due to the security of Eritrea depends on the demise of Ethiopia then how can you support this? They will be and are acting exactly like Egypt, for years in silence Egypt played strategically to under develop Ethiopia and it suceeded not only that it succeeded the break up of Ethiopia to weaken it. The design has already been made, even if Eritrea wants peace and does not want to get involved, no matter what, it will still seek Ethiopia’s weakeness due to our past history and the port and economy whether Eritrea likes it or not, it put itself and Ethiopia in unsecured position we are made enemies when it was not necessary. Maybe Isayas made you promise but remember you can never trust him and I don’t know what your goal is and it is a bit prematured. You can still denounce Weyane but you can at least be silence when Eritrea is concerned. I understand you probalby support Isayas because Ethiopian oppposition fighters are there, really can you really explain what happened to some of the fighters there? They are there for Eritrea’s convenience they will use the fighters when they need them seemingly Shaebia’s support against Weyane but you will see they will discard them when it becomes the time that Ethiopia will be a threat. and you know what Eritreans think of Ethiopia on their website. I am for peace as well, but I don’t think you can trust Eritrea right now unless there is absolute proof that they have no animosity towards the growth of Ethiopia. We have seen already many Eritreans when they were in Ethiopia, funding Shaebia while they are rich and making lots of money in Ethiopia and they turn around saying Ethiopia has oppressed them. How are they able to live in free, making money and going to most expensive school if they were oppressed before.

    Shaebia is in desperate situation that is why they are friendly to you, unless of course you are part Eritrean that is a different story. Even though I would like to say there are fighters in Asmara and it sounds like Asmara is helping Ethiopians against dictators, since the fighters’ presence in Asmara what have they accomplished so far? I guess that will be the reason how Eritrea is really genuine and committed in helping the fighters against Ethiopia. There has been news also that Shaebia was putting the OLF against the EPPF, if that is true fueling hatred between these two groups of fighters then this should be a clue to you that Shaeiba is upto no good. My thinking is it is better to get rid of dictators and anti ethiopians which ever one there are. As Westerners do it, we just have to watch Shebia and TPLF finish eachother first so that we say good one anti ethiopia mafia groups are gone without our effort now, it is easiter to fight another mafia rather than two. It seems like Meles might be winning on this one. The bad part that I may agree with you is that if he puts Pro meles puppet in power in Eritrea, this time like it was in the beigining of Eritrea’s indpendence, Ethiopia’s economy is going to be exploited and enriching Eritreans while the rest of Ethiopia is begging and in poverty. Now with the help of Eritreans he can form Greater Tigray diverting more economic resources, they will be more militarily strong, etc. This can be worrisome. However, let us not make our mistake also by supporting Isayas. So, the main thing is strive to destroy both dictators and anyone that wants the demise of Ethiopia. I think you will be surprised how day and night Eritreans work hard to protect Eritrea and against Ethiopia where as us, we don’t seem to give a hoot about Ethiopia. As one doctor from Bay Area wrote an article which everyone even Ethiopians hated him for it is when he wrote, let us not trust Eritreans and Tigrayans as they want the demise of Ethiopia, his name is I think Dr. Tilahun. He said Weyane was up to no good even at that time we seemed to like what Weyane was doing until they tighten their hands around Ethiopia’s around 1994, I think, he said let us not trust them. Even though he chose wrong word in explaining this issue all his prediction turned out to be true. He was attacked for it as we ethhiopians are so embedded within ourselves and do not see anything outside of the box.

    Long live the ancient Ethiopia!

  27. Treaty,

    I agree with you. We may be ranting by what Elias is saying but what his original post said maybe to reconcile with Meles. Either way, Ethopia’s case is screwed. Ethiopians will not get what they want, that is their safety, economic development etc. The demise of TPLF what will triumph Ethiopia but will Ethiopians have time to crush Shaebia if it uses this advantage during the attempt of TPLF dethroning that will remain to be seen. The reconciliation of the two dictators is still not good for Ethiopians as more exploitation and discrimination will be visible. The demise of Isayas could be good as if one dictator and anti ethiopian is gone but what of the power of Meles increases with more Eritreans and military growth taken from defeated Isayas is consolidated in TPLF making TPLF the fat cat with more people against Ethiopia and more military? This is not good prospect for Ethiopia. The demise of TPLF with quickly filling the vaccum must be done if not another problem will be the OLF power that could lead to the break up of Ethiopia. So, we are lost in any way you want to put it. What may do it is how the pro Ethiopians can get hold of the military after the demise of tPLf is the issue. So I don’t see any good prospect for Ethiopians people. It is all lost by some miracle the ball is turned toward us, and god help ethiopia. What about recruiting ethiopians inside and outside is the only way. As one mentioned our sacrifice, organization, coordination is needed to fight this giant that fell upon us. As ER said, indeed the demise of Weyane maybe more important at the same time Isayas. Unless we are really genious, impossible. We are full of fear, there is no way we can achieve that.

  28. Love I agree with you so long Weyane and Shabia and the two cousines remain in power the misery of the two people will be prolonged.The last twenty years of the policy of the two cousines has been consistent:divide and and rule.In the case of Weyane it has instituted and implemented ethinic based administrtion and it used it to weaken the nationalist Ethiopians from diverse groups.This seems for a while to help wweyane to stay in power,over time though ,if properly mobalized,,the people of all regions are ready to confront weyanes for her divide and rule menthod or her failed policy.On the part of ASsmara,it used divdie and rule policy by inciting the diverse of our population and promising to pursue armed struggle for independence OLF,ONLF etc are examples.Therefore both Shabia and weyane favor and continue to use divide and rule policy to reduce Ethiopia to their desired trubitary.In theis connection foreign governments such as Egypt are also secretly ebroiled in the internal affiars of Ethiopia through their emmisary Asmara and their lackies the OLF,ONLF leders.
    There fore if ever guarantee and to secure our exsistence Ethiopins need to work tweenty four seven to maintan the balace lost to the two evil leaders and their party whil we were in our hibernation.In addition,we need to think independently and not entagled in the affairs of Eritria.Always Freedom must be sought by the sacrifice of our life not by begging.It does not have to be necessarily by a brrel of agun,if it comes to that we need to fight for it reling only on our resources,talent and tim.Only such resolve will lead us to victory.
    Victory to both the people of Ethiopia and Eritria from their enemies weyane and Shabia.
    Death to the two leders and their cabal frone Weyane and Shabia.

  29. Tena yestlegn Ato E. Kifle. I am so sorry to hear that you think dictator Isaias is better than the dictator we have in Ethiopia. He is not a government of anyone but a dictator like Meles.

    If you want to fight the good fight do not trust any dictators. Believe in yourself and fight the good fight.

    Wash your hands from any kind of Leba, dictator and bloodsucker. You can do it without any of these kinds of guys.

    The time has arrived so that please just do what you are doing without any dictator but within your ability + God + people like yourself. That is all you need.

  30. Love, you said

    “since the fighters’ presence in Asmara what have they accomplished so far?”

    That is the same question we are asking president isias all the time most of us concerned Eritreans even though I don’t know why, but I can guess because most of anti-woyane Ethiopians they scared of dying with the exception of Ogadenese and Oromo’s that is all, that is the truth, it might hurt to hear this but that is the truth.if you are a man enough you don’t need Eritrea really, you can kill ten woyanes and die for your people suffering anywhere inside Ethiopia so that way you don’t have to complain about Eritrea.

    I am sick and tired of hearing from those Ethiopians they keep bitching about the similarity of woyane and shaebia to destroy Ethiopia. soon while you are complaining that, the Enmity between them is going to be longer than their friendships its already 13 years and counting.

    when are you guys going to grow some balls and fight instead of creating unrealistic and nonexistence espionage, Eritrea this Egypt that, woyane and shaebia are still meeting…….., all you are doing is making an excuse not to fight or die that is all.

    Mr Elias is smart he knows very well his people……………that is why he decided to befriend with Eritrea.how long are you guys going to talk about Eritrean Ports, Muslims, OLF, ONLF, SOUTHERN PEOPLE,…… When you totally don’t even have a country you can call right now.you guys are stretching yourself way too long for nothing……………..you need to cut your losses and move on.

  31. FOLKS! Why shouldn’t we stop barking endlessly high up in to the empty blue sky for the last 20 long years about nothing, instead of narrowing down the boundaries of our struggle, that is to say metaphorically, cutting our trousers according to our own sizes, as to concentrate on the solid and practical formation of the Ethiopian United fronts and remove tyranny by doing rather than by talking thereby replacing it with the 21st century democracy and justice for all? Here I am NOT asking the opinions of the cadres of the tyrannical regime.

  32. Please, do not force us to choose between one dictator or another. If they could topple each other mutually, that would be helpful, otherwise, do not make deals with Isayas, the terrorist and tyrant and enslaver of the Eritrean people.

  33. Mindless Ghirma#75 said,

    “Elias is the most disgraceful “non-Ethiopian” on earth. Sooner or later he will pay for his sins against the Ethiopian people.”

    Let’s see, has Elias ever killed a single human being, stolen Ethiopian money and sold Ethiopian land? the answer is NO!
    On the other hand: Have Meles and his TPLF cronies killed countless number of innocent Ethiopians, stolen billions of Ethiopian money and treasures, sold the most Ethiopian fertile land to foreigners, taken the country to unnecessary war, money laundering, letting millions of Ethiopians go hungry everyday and starve to deaths? the answer is YES!
    And who is the most disgraceful “non-Ethiopian” on earth? the answer is Meles and his TPLF cronies.

  34. Mr. elias every time u preach about democracy and tell us how weyane is un democratic and dictator, i send you a comment even u didn’t print it.reason i say issyass is like mad dog ,cuse his brain is infected with malaria,and most of eritrins are parasites.they never think a good about ethiopia.so u shut me down.change ur paper from “ethioreview” to “eri review” and dance ur democravy there.

  35. It is not worthy to provide any serious comment on this mad man website.This guy has a lunatic fantasy that never been seen in a real world.But what puzzels me always is a serious thinker like Al G/Mariam working hand to hand with this insane guy.

  36. Dear Ato Asmamaw, #68 and others who are condemening Mr. Elias for writing what he observed in recent fixture of your beloved leader Meles there is another Amharic provererb ‘Eyebedawhat Tankelafalech”. Asmamaw you believe your own war propoganda, claiming that Ethiopian army as volunteers, as if those people were not rounded and sent to the war front. The so called Ethiopian army was unable to defeat ‘Al Shabab’ or the Ogaden freedom fighters for so many years.Your hatred towards Eritrean people and their leaders has blinded you and can not see the facts clearly. May be you people are on khat. 4.5 million people are staving in ‘lemlem Ethiopia’, and in few years the Eritreans have become sulf sufficient in food production in their ‘desert land’. Eritreans are digging gold and other minerals while Ethiopian are digging graves to burry their famin victims. Eritreans building dams and buying tractors to plough their land and Ethiopia is evicting poor farmers and giving away fertile land to Arabs, Chinise and Indian investors. Please read what is going around the world before you repeat Meles proplganda.

  37. Peter,

    You are so right. Eritrea and TPLF have made us enemies where it used to be none 20 years ago even under Mengistu. Eritrea will always be against Ethiopia because of insecurity issue and Assab issue. TPLF themselves made us to be enemies due to land give away to Sudan, and the land they took from Gonder and Wolo to Tigray which that by itself will cause them to fear that if especially Amara takes over Gonderes and woloyes will demand their land back thus creating civil war. So, both TPLF and Shaebia have reasons to fear the UNITY of Ethiopia will always be against Ethiopia. If not I fear for Amaras really especially. So at the end of the day, despite their fight, when it comes to Ethiopia, they are one and the same and will not hesitate. So as you said, it is better the enemy you know than the enemy you don’t know meaning, Isayas is a known enemy of Ethiopia but Meles is the most dangerous one. He is very much educated especially from the West how to move based on his self interest.

    Elias,

    The other issue that is concern is that if that is you believe Isayas might help Ethiopians, surely you know from some of us genuine commnetators on this site how we feel that you may want to upset the real pro tplf groups but try to be sensitive towards the genuine commentators like some of us you may be aware of, I am sure there are people who are genuine by now on this website so do please have respect for the true Ethiopians and try not in fact create a situation we might suspect you so have respect for most of genuine Ethiopians when you discuss Eritreans. Why would you want to lose support from us anyways when we want to believe you are the one who is taking risk to save Ethiopia. I am just saying have respect for us and be sensitive.

  38. For most Ethiopians, weyane and sha’ebia are two faces of one coin, they are practically one and the same. They both have a non existing amhara power phobia, which bases all their goals and activities. It is beyond reason why you are so blindly attached to Esayas. Take off your blind fold and see the oppressed people of Eritrea, by the non better than Meles dictator; would you? Please do not turn Rush Limbaugh of us, spreading confusion and misinformation.

  39. Elias,
    You got it right.The woyanes are preparing to launch a lightning offensive that is going to surprise the criminal gangs in Asmara as well as the world.I know war has to be condemend at all time but we Eritreans have no choice but to support the invasion and stand on the side of the woyane invading force.
    The gang in Asmara has been committing all kinds of atrocities against our people for the last two decades and now it has reached a point where we can no longer put up with the atrocities which is long overdue.For this,thousands of Eritreans are flocking to Ethiopia to fight along the Woyane side and witness the demise of the most disgusting and repressive regime in the world.
    Once the regime is thrown to the back waters of history,we will build a nation where Justice and Democracy prevail.
    Death to the criminal gangs,
    Democracy and Justice will prevail

  40. ELIAS, EVEN THOUGH I AGREE WITH SOME OF YOUR ANNALYSES IT IS UPTO THE ETHIOPIAN PEOPLE TO FIGHT THE FIGHT NOT ERITREANS.IN THE PROCESS IF YOU NEED SOME BODY TO HELP YOU, THEN YOU CAN ASK FOR ONE.DO NOT EXPECT ERITREANS TO DIE FOR YOU.

    In the first place you are a woyanne cyber cadre with no knowledge of these ignorant of all ignorants cult or gang as it out smarts or confronts any body with his intelligent view let me laugh with no stop ,how do you define intelligence ? for me the guy is a born lier
    emotional with no scientific analysis and a very dangerous looter criminal not more and not less.

  42. Mr.Elias kifle is telling us again that he is the supporter of the most tyrant person in Africa, Isayas Afewerk. It is very know fact that Isayas want to see non-united Ethiopia for its security and Eritrean existence reasons. To support Isayas who has created a ‘an Eritrea with a false history’ and that says Eritrea has been colonized by Eritrea to death cannot work for a united Ethiopia. Ask any Eritrean, they will tell you this falsely designed history, and the hate Ethiopia very much. How could Isayas who is the master and leader of this design be happy to see a prosperous and united Ethiopia? This is very un-imaginable. Isayas even supportrs ONLF (Ogaden National Libration Front) which is trying to free the ogaden region of Ethiopia. What does this mean to Ethiopia? And how can a person like Elias Kifle who says he strongly loves to see a united Ethiopia work with Isayas?

    Once again, Elias is telling us what Isayas means to him. He is his fianancial source. Personally, I have lost all my trust on Elias, because he it has been his long time believe to trust Isayas to solve the problem of Ethiopia. Let alone solving, Isays would be extermely happy to see a very impovershed and no-peace Ethiopia!

    I wonder how the Eritreans who are commenting here look they are better than woyane? They are very arrogant, and that is what can be dedcted from their awful comments in this page.

    Long live Ethiopia!

  43. TO Fitihawi : FIRST YOU TRY TO TELL AS YOU ARE ERITREAN BUT YOU ARE THE ONE WHO LIVE IN TIGRAY AND YOU ARE ONE OF WEYANE SUPORTER . BUT YOU TRY TO CHANGE THE WAY . BUT WHAT YOU MUST KNOW WEYANE DAYS ARE NUMBER`S. WE ETHIOPIAN ARE UNITED TO DISTROY WEYANE IN THE MAP OF WORLED. BEKA BEKA BEKA. GOD BLESS MAMA ETHIOPIA WITH OUT WEYANE.

  44. As an Ethiopian I won’t wish any sort of war between Ethiopians and Eretrians; To begin with, there has never been a serious and insolvable problem between the two people. Yet the power hungry dictators on both sides used the occasion to turn the region in to a blood pool. By the time the unnecessary and long civil war come in to close many people thought the people will be free to build their country; that has not been the case. As a result the general public, on both sides, has to learn through practical lessen that culprit to the problem of the region have been the two home grown megalomaniacs: Melese and Issayas Afewerki.

    It is up to you and your country men what to do with your supposedly liberator but who all along was a power hungry megalomaniac. But to say that after his demise you will build a nation where “justice and democracy prevail” is perhaps a romantic notion. The majority of Eretria’s blindly follow Shabia and her boss. In fact they are so adept in their conversation and debate thy will quickly change the theme of the subject in to one of their fovorits: I.A is better than Melese type of argument.Inorder to build democracy there has to be open forums to that will accommodate the public. There has to be genuine opposition party against Shabia.There has to be willingness to work along with other progressive and democratic forces in the region.
    None of these are currently taking place among Eretrians; there reason is simple Eretria seems to have settled for the notion support I.A and his party and maintain Eretria unity.
    Therefore it might be just a wish on your part, and not realistic or practical idea to see a just and democratic society for Eretria.

  45. Anon #94,
    Although, what you have said is absolutely true but yet its not impossible to build a nation where democracy and justice prevail.The dictator might have a broad support across the diaspora but not at home and the ones at home that really make the difference.Our people at home are really fed up with all the atrocities that they have been subjected to and they are ready to revolt in order to get back their country.I know we the prodemocracy forces have a lot to accomplish for this to happen.Our fight for justice is getting momentum every passing day while the number of his supporters is dwindiling.Slowly but surely we are tightening the noose around the dictators neck.The dawn of freedom and democracy are just around the corner.
    Speaking of the still die hard supporters of the criminal gang,I have only one thing to say.THEY DON’T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FREEDOM AND SLAVERY.
    Death to the dictator.
    Justice and Democracy will prevail,

  46. Most of you guys sound immature. When I surf through political websites I am dismayed. Please talk about ideas and practicalities rather than mediocre rhetoric.
