Some 70 Ethiopian and Eritrean physicians who work and reside in the United States held a meeting with Woyanne agent Girma Birru in Old Town Alexandria Hilton Hotel near Washington DC over the weekend.
The meeting was organized by Meles Zenawi’s physician and investor Dr Mulai Teklu Yohannes and Dr Tesfaye Demmisie Fanta of North Carolina.
The purpose of the meeting was to raise funds for building a referral hospital in Addis Ababa. Girma Birru asked the physicians to contribute $30,000 each for the project. He also asked them to buy bond for the fake Nile Dam Project.
Many of the physicians who attended the Woyanne meeting are residing in the U.S. as political refugees, and yet they attend a fund raising party that is organized by the same regime they fled from.
The physicians also must have failed to understand that the Woyanne junta has no intention of building a hospital. The existing hospitals in Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa, such as Tikur Anbessa, are so dilapidated and neglected that patients go there to die. Addis Ababa’s biggest hospitals look like morgues. But Woyanne has enough money to spend over $100 million for buying tanks.
The main reason that the 70 doctors who met with Girma Birru have sought asylum in the U.S. is because they were unable to live freely and make a living in their own country. So if these physicians are genuine about helping their people back home, they need to speak out against the injustice in Ethiopia. If they are not willing to do that, the least they can do is not give money to the genocidal Woyanne junta.

You are not worth my response; I am writing this is in case there are some fair minded Ethiopians who read your ‘post’.
It is very sad to see that one can write about an Ethiopian and Ethiopian association without having any facts, just based on rumor. My guess is you have not been to the meeting and doesn’t even know anyone who has been to the meeting. I think this is a disgrace to Ethiopians in general. Unlike you, I have not had time to participate in any discussion on this forum prior to this because some of us have to work for a living. I am one of the early members of this society. I don’t have and has never had any affiliation to any political group. I am not Tigrian but if I were I would just be as proud because that means I am an Ethiopian too. The picture you posted is a proud Ethiopian too. His intentions are clear, to contribute to Ethiopian people’s health care delivery system. Regime comes regime goes but the people will always be the same, Ethiopian!!! No wonder why political groups abroad have not gotten the support of some of us and incited any passion in common Ethiopian people , because they are lead by people like you who without searching for facts love to destroy people’s reputation. First, do your researches, before you open your mouth, ask questions. Just because you have the venue doesn’t mean you use it. I am really disappointed by you and people who agree with you without having all the facts. You are a disgrace to all Ethiopians.

Dear Sir,
Your point in all this is not clear, what exactly are you trying to say? I hear your anger but what exactly is the message that you want to tell us. You question if the journalist was at the meeting? He really does not have to be… an investigative journalist can get the information that is necessary and report on it.
The question is was there a meeting or not? true or false. Who called the meeting? For what reason? these are the meat of the news report. Sorry Sir you seem to be an apologist for Weyan’s and there thugs.
This Government seems to act like a bad slot machine just taking without any return. All the funds under the guise of development all loans… Sale of land, forcing the people of Ethiopia under one or other will do good but not seen project… ohhhhhh and Building the Abaye Dame Wow at least people in Ethiopia have no choice but the fools in the Diaspora!!!! I guess that is what Hodam stands for.
By the way good excuse for your type of Hodam is the Opposition this and the opposition that. The country belongs to all of us and it is Hodams like you who with collaboration is destroying the country. The opposition cannot do anything for you when you wag your tail everytime to please a master that will very soon use you and kick your ass.

Good job Queen, you nailed him on the head and I can blood gushing down his forehead. I wish Ethiopia could have been ruled by Queen like you, instead of by timid mercenary, who have mastered the art of lying, cheating, killing and begging. If all these doctors were so sympathetic to this killer government, why don’t they pack up and go back to where they came from, and start licking their master’s boots.

Good for him,you should do the same if you can and care for our country.Instead of blaming those who take the courage and helping their fellow country men.The reason we found ourselves in a backward situation is people like you and your mentor active to discreadit and to destroy those who willing to participate in any capacity for the purpose of to lift the country out of poverty.The only reason you have is the usual political talking points,walk up dude.
It is possible to be an “educated fool.” Many so called “educated” Ethiopians are dumber than the common man in the streets. These doctors left Ethiopia because there is no hope there. Many of them would kill themselves were they to be deported back to Ethiopia. But once they have gone past the hurdle, they forget what kind of condition they left behind. Repeat this a million times, you realize why Ethiopia is in the situation it is today.
The Ethiopian media should refocus itself from mobilization to education. It is a long term process but educating these fools and the many like them should be a very important part of the job of the media.

Mamo,
As I write this comment, I am giggling from ear to ear. Reading your comment one can easily see that you are dumber than a door knob. Your likes are dumber in the head than a dog is in the ass. People like you are the reasons for the extension of suffering for the Ethiopian people. At least, let the poor get some type of medical help. Do you really care? Just get busy dehumanizing the educated. What do you know about education? Does it help in any ways? You master, Meles said the same thing. He said that we don’t care about the education of a person, as long as the person is loyal to the party. He even told doctors that he doesn’t care if they leave. He is dumber than a door knob just like you. Go destroy the country together. Hospitals in Ethiopia have turned to hell and I don’t know what else you want? Let these doctors do what ever they can. Stop killing the appetite of the majority towards any type of supporting the struggle to have just country. Politics and health are separate. Go to school, learn and understand how, when and whom to criticize. Then your IQ level may rise a bit. Elias some times doesn’t weigh what he is posting. I guess he isn’t the only one who runs this website or he needs to see a psychiatrist.

Please do not throw the blame on Elias for not weighing what he posts on his web site. I admire Elias more than any other journalists who provide comments on their web sites. A true journalist is some one who does not censure your ideas, even if it hurts him the most. I see all the time people writing about him like a dog, and he still allows their comments posted as is. Some web sites are winnowing the grain from the chaff before posting it. They are not journalists at all. They use their web sites to curry favor, and please those who talk highly of them. That kind of web site is nothing but a lap dog who are out there to please their master. So leave ELIAS out of your shenanigans

Thanks Geremew. This idiot does not understand Politcs is health. Ask him why did he run away from his beloved country if it was not of Politics?
I was a nurse in Ethiopia for a number of years. what I realized during those years in my career is that many Physicians who has been trained at the expense of the poor people of Ethiopia would like to be treated as a special creature and they are very very selfish. They donot give a damn if the entire poor people go to hell. They are no better than Woyane. They are very opportunist and now tempted to get involved in the organized theft with Woyane.
They will be exposed any time soon they couldnot escape from the sight of the nation. Shame on you stupid physicians.

Ok, there might be some ‘physicians’ here and there who don’t behave as are expected, but these are purely the reflections of the society.
Otherwise, using such rough words to doctors who are working in such harsh conditions for less than 200 USD, with no hope of improving conditions both for themselves and for the country – is utterly bad.

This Dr taught me a course ‘communicable disease’ at centraalized school of nursing at St Paul hospital while I was attending a nursing course; though I left the profession for good.
So I would earnestly like to urge brave Eliase Keflie(a true son of Ethiopia) to reveal the names of each criminal physicians who are standing by the side of Woyanee and deserting Professor Asrat Woldeyes and the entire poor nation of Ethiopia. Many of these retarded and selfish Drs had been taught by the late and renouned Professor Asrat Woldeyes who is killed by tyrant Woyanee.Prof Asrat woldeyes was as a ‘father figure’ for every physician in Ethiopia.

I really don’t understand what this woyane gangs are doing? It doesn’t add up at all. First they claim that Ethiopia is economically stable, but the money in the country is in their own pocket so that they can ask help abroad. they mistreat the people and ask for help from their brothers. Look now thay even envited eritrean doctors. Do you know how many eritrean doctors and professionals have been doprted from Ethiopia. My father is a medical doctor in Addis. You cannot guess the mistreating faced his collegues when they were deported. And now woyane is asking for help. Come on people wake up this gangs are playing games.
I can’t believe it, if they (except Tigreagna speakers) are deceid to work with Hitler Meles.

You go back to school and learn how to spell a word, first.
What a great shame! Just because one is educated well, it doesn’t mean he/she have conscience to distance themselves from a brutal dictator that has a record of human abuse with the Human Rights and Amnesty International Organizations. A tyrant that has looted Ethiopians, incarcerating, torturing, killing, evicting hundreds of thousands of Ethiopians and selling their land to foreigners, setting fire to our historical Monasteries to sell the land, and so on… Those who do not distance themselves from an African Hitler called dictator Meles, should know that they are immersing their hands in the blood bath of innocent Ethiopians the woyanes spilled.
You call them Doctors?
I was baffled by the phrase in your article that goes like this: “Some 70 Ethiopian and Eritrean physians who work and reside in the United States ….”. What do Eritrean physians have to do with building a referral hospital in Addis Abeba? Are they foolish enough to invest in Ethiopia under Meles Zenawi’s corrupt rule? They may as well invest in Eritrea where they have a similar dictaltor that rules the country with iron fist. The whole idea of the 70 physians having a meeting in Old Town Alexandria Hilton Hotel near Washington DC seems fishy. As a reporter did you go to the meeting and have you taken some pictures and talked to some of the attendees. What were their views, intentions and conclusions about the meeting? Or is this one of those hearsays. We need some concrete evidence that the meeting took place as you asserted.
Note: I submitted this opinion piece about one hour ago on this comment section. However, it is no where to be seen on the comment section. It is possible that it was deleted as criticism is a hard thing to swallow.Here I submit it again.
These are not doctors, but just by names, these are pig-Hodaders, They use the resource of Ethiopia/peasants to get free education, surprisingly, they collaborate with the Woyane junta to destroy Ethiopia and indirectly to kill Ethiopians. V 4 PEOPLE OF ETHIOPIA!!!
As any of this generation, the physicians of current generation are of different breed. Physicians in the past adhered to thier oath by serving the needy; they were humble, father or elder sibling like, and well, real physcicians. Now, business comes first. Like CNN’s Sanjay Gupta MD., who, just this week realeased his first novel, Monday Mornings, like a monkey, jumps between two networks, two hospitals, magazines, books, and of course, a globe-trotting celebrity. Not at all impressed. The US is looking to hire some 200,000 doctors and is not shying away from opening its doors, according to a recent New York Times article, to snatch even from the neediest of the world. Doctors have become arrogant, class-concious, hello-effecters snd opportunist fgures. Don’t forget that its the greed, power and influence of health-care owners and doctors responsible for the near bankruptcy of Medicaid, Maidicare and even Social Security in this ountry; the burdgeoning problem in healthcare is associated with the overall economic problem of the country. why become part of it? Why desert your country?
Believe me I don’t consider these egoists, low self steam so called doctors as relevant. Forgive me; I don’t want to be treated by Ethiopian doctors. I have seen what kind of mentality they have during my late dad treatment in Addis. They consider them self as god. Only low self-steam, egocentric people think this way. If one doesn’t care for his professional and people he treats, do I expect him/her to care for the nation?? Not at all!!
I completely agree with Mamo’s comment “The Ethiopian media should refocus itself from mobilization to education”. This story reminds us of something we have overlooked and failed to do timely. We must have means where we as a community get together with our people including these professionals, and educate them on one to one basis or by inviting them to community gatherings. In other words, we have to go to them than to expect them to come for us. It is clear in this case,weyanes saw some gap where they can operate and they used it.Even now ,it is not too late, we must seek all the support from all our people if we ever to win against entrenched enemy.

What poverty said is right, hodam elites are parasites who does not care for their people. Ethiopians who wanted to serve their people like Professor Asrat and Doctor Dagnatchew Yirgou are unfortunatelly killed by successive tyrants.
All physicians should be ashamed to see such idiots who do not understand the defination of Health.
It is great that those idiots have left Ethiopia
By the way, these animals neither represent Ethiopian physicans nor any person who can write and read.
Dont forget the late Hakim Workeneh, Melaku Beyane and Asrat Woledyes who were physicans of the people.
It would be great to post the names of those particpants on the web with thier asylum status and pass their names to UCIS for fraud in their political asylum application.
You can just email the name you know to UCIS.

it’s no secret we are moving fast towards the life and leadership of a corrupted society, worest than india,kenya,nigeria etc… where the rich literally walks on the heads of the poor to keep his shoes tidy. the only differene is that ours trully are “full fledged genocidal”

MD. Dr’s are always prostitutes to who ever they are governed by. We have seen it before, we are seeing it now, and will see it in future.
As for me it is your right to participate on that meeting. MD. Drs. mean nothing better than the nurses or dresser (as we call them at home). Nurse and dressers are more expeienced than the MDs. They do not even know how to inject needles. That is what you are.
As for me again, you could have gone to Eth. to Black Lion Hospital( or any other hospitals rather) and donate your $30,000.00 to make a diference. These days Hospitals are not places where you get treatments. Full of smell of ……….( I do not want to write it), etc….. and have become places to die. You cound have made a difference.
MD. Drs. Wake up and make your minds work!. Understand! no body objects building the dam. The right way to build the dam should be the under(like any other countries)through the process of getting funded by the World Bank. The GOE.does not qualify to get the fund for so many reasons. That was you litrate MD. Drs should have raised a question of consciousness. Those Hospital NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Correction.
It has been long time since he lost his mind.
Thsi is excellent. We need to question where the loyality of these Ethiopians rests – loyality to their own pocket, loyality to their profession as life savers working in the field of medicine, loyality to the poor ethiopians who paid for their education? Anyone that works with genocidal regime needs to pause and rethink its engagement with a sworn enemy of EThiopia. We have to stop thinking that these professionals who know what exactly is taking place in their country of origin and yet collaborate with the regime should be left alone. No, they should be encoraged to think for the good of the people
It is ironic, these doctors are trained to save lives; if they are really planning to work closely with a brutal dictator or even to have any kind of associations with the tyrant and his TPLF thugs that have the blood of countless number of Ethiopians on their hands, it is very disturbing, unfortunate and a great shame indeed. Who knows, these doctors, probably, grew up listening to Meles’ and Esayass’ propaganda of hate towards Ethiopia/ns. I guess, it is true what they say: you can take Africans out of Africa and educate them, but you cannot erase their tribalism out of their heads. Obviously, it doesn’t take a PHD or MD to care for others, only a gift from God of a kind heart, conscience, awareness, thoughtfulness, compassion and understanding of human suffering. May God open the conscience of these doctors to understand the horrible crimes and human tragedy Meles and his puppets have caused on Ethiopia/ns.
Zenawi servants boogeyman…is called ‘hate’….hodams!
Elias try to find out these individuals only to imagine how ignorant these dudes are if they are from the area where the tyrant and lier the woyanne chiefs area they are only emotional but not scientific to say the least even though in the land where 5-8 thousand doctors reside for the crime gang to get 70 dudes (doctors )is not a big deal
holdindg a doctrate does not change your personal mind development that is why we have experienced Bush as the leader of the worlds powerful nation his luck was to have real intelligent advisors that spre us from the third world war and these is not the case by woyannes.
Dave,
I am afraid it is you who is the big time loser on this one. Yes, you are losing it big. What is the justification of building a new referral hospital when the long existing Black Lion referral hospital is completely dilapidated, neglected, and undone? What about the disastrous conditions of Saint Paul, Zewditu, and other hospitals both old and new throughout the country? Almost all of the hospitals’ medical equipments, medical devices, and instruments were bought more than forty years ago during the Emperor’s time. There are no medicines, preventive devices, and even simple sanitary gloves in these hospitals. Almost all hospitals cannot even afford a clean sheet and blanks for patients who stay in the hospitals for their care. Who in his/her right mind think of or justify building a referral hospital when none of the existing hospitals are maintained, kept, and resourced even as outpatient clinics.

can you guys find out the picture of these idiots so that we know who they are and stop going to them.This is America there are so many choices.let them treat the woyanes and Girma Biru.
The fact only Tigreans and Eritreans doctors were invited to the meeting, is a racially motivated agenda by itself. Locking up tens of thousands of Ethiopians, torturing, killing, looting the country and evicting Ethiopians from their property with only the clothes on their backs and left in despair; to give and sell their land to foreigners–IS what WOYANES called DEVELOPMENT! TPLF Cruelty at its best!
Hi brothers and sisters Ethiopians ,
we all ethiopians and Ethiopia had given to something while we are children and do not you think it is time to give back for that pore ethiopian people back with what we can ??I think it is time for us to support that people with every thing we can , speacially like hospital,and millinium dam, which can give better life for our poor ethiopian people no matter what kind of governament we have or we will have,
thank you
These could only be people seeking favour from the ethnicist woyane junta or have material or personal interest which the woyane have provided them with.
No self respecting human who lives in the USA could collaborate with a fascist ethnicist junta that is crime written all over it.
They are not Eritreans I know ver wel above that.There was only one Eritrean and his name is Dr Abraham Domez and he is Hodama and he is a Tigria bu his wife that way he is there in meetning.
I know Dr Tesfaye Demessie for sure. He was once a Health Officer and then had been upgraded to Medical Doctor after he went to Black lion Medical School in due course he consumed public resources in a life long training and then he was being assingned at Zewditu Memoprial hospital for a number of Years.
I will find out more about him from back home.
This report is not correct. The doctors want to build a PRIVATE hospital that will provide high quality services for PAYING PATIENTS. Regardless of whoever is in power, there will be demand for this type of service. You just have to realize how many Ethiopians are traveling to Thailand, India and South Africa (and even Kenya) to get this type of service.
In addition, some of the people involved in this scheme are actively engaged in the fight against the ruling group. I have some information on that.
Hospitals like Black Lion are public hospitals and not profit making entities. It is up to government to improve them.
I am a physician trained in the USA.
I paid my way through undergraduate studies, medical school and supported myself through residency and further training all in the USA. I admit I don’t know much about politics, as my passion is caring for others via action and not cheap talk.
I left my beloved country at a young age, so have no idea of what you mean by woyane, oromo or other ethnic references. I know of the one unified Ethiopia that I left behind long ago that I aspire to make better. I, unlike the article writer or most of the comment writers above, have a desire to give back to my country. I have gone back to serve for free and teach in the capacity that I have.
I attended the meeting you are talking about. The physicians there discussed business as it pertains to the long term benefit of Ethiopia in healthcare. I know this is a hard concept to grasp as most ignorant uneducated fools here who drink the toxic venom that is politics would not know the term “helping my country” if it bit them in the face.
I urge you to read, educate yourself and free your minds from the hatred you harbor. Ask yourselves, “I left my country to better myself, what have I accomplished so far?” Sitting in some lame cafe and discussing politics has not done much to aid the situation in Ethiopia – we have now seen it for decades. I suggest that you seek ways to make yourself and others around you better, volunteer in ways that you can give back. As the saying goes, “a mind is a terrible thing to waste” and I sure see many wasted on this board.

That hospital used to be the biggest and well equiped hospital in Africa.(next to one in Egypt and one in South Africa. Now it is the worst ever you see(bad smell, feces,…..) no one cleans it up. When asked why? No budget. That is where you should invest SIR!. No one object building a dam. In the name of Investment on Hospitals, the attachment of you haqd on the meeting sucks!.

In Ethiopia only Tigrians are allowed to be multi millionaires and if you are ETHIOPIAN not Tigrian, then you will be kicked out the country like Dr. Fiseha Eshetu.

Why do you need to politicize everything? What does building a hospital in Ethiopia have to with politics?
Trust me, you need help.
I am not a woyane or a politician. My parents come from Ambassel (Wollo, if you don’t know where that is). I could not care less about the politics, but if I help one of my country men to feel better, I have done more than you ever will.
You remind me of a lot of relatives that I have who left their country on the premise of improving themselves, yet sit around in Starbucks around the country and talk about this or that government while having no education, no retirement and no plans to go and fight and make change happen.
See where this hatred will get you my dear……Direct the negative energy into something positive. You might learn something from your niece.
Best!
The doc’s plan is to build a state of the art hospital in ethiopia and transfer knowledge. You can’t do that kind of investement with out talking to the Ethiopian Government. Girma birru was there to answer there questions. They are raising money for there company( BTW registered in the U.S.A). The idea that they were there to fund raise for the govt is rediculous.
Come on Guys…. Any body with an Average IQ should understand this.
Would these doctors cheap-in $30,000 each? The answer is NO! Much less $30,000 they would not give $300 each. Besides, they would not have left Ethiopia in the first place, had they wished to help Ethiopia. This article is a joke and Ethiopians doctors are no different than Dr. Fiseha (on a campaign to throw away TPLF).
You are not worth my response; I am writing this is in case there are some fair minded Ethiopians who read your ‘post’.
It is very sad to see that one can write about an Ethiopian and Ethiopian association without having any facts just based on rumor. My guess is you have not been to the meeting and doesn’t even know anyone who has been to the meeting. I think this is a disgrace to Ethiopians in general. Unlike you, I have not had time to participate in any discussion on this forum prior to this because some of us have to work for a living. I am one of the early members of this society. I don’t have and has never had any affiliation to any political group. I am not Tigrian but if I were I would just be as proud because that means I am an Ethiopian too. The picture you posted is a proud Ethiopian too. His intentions are clear, to contribute to Ethiopian people’s health care delivery system. Regime comes regime goes but the people will always be the same, Ethiopian!!! No wonder why political groups abroad have not gotten the support of some of us and incited any passion in common Ethiopian people , because they are lead by people like you who without searching for facts love to destroy people’s reputation. First, do your researches, before you open your mouth, ask questions. Just because you have the venue doesn’t mean you use it. I am really disappointed by you and people who agree with you without having all the facts. You are a disgrace to all Ethiopians.
thanks to elites who are slave-minded puppet living in exile, Ethiopia is doomed to be a rather a dependent nation seeing for its ellusive independence. Weyane has only beaten you lot in your own game. Weyane is servant regime. Weyane can jail, torture, kill, commit a massacre or a genocide, it would get away with it as long as it remains to be a loyal servant of the West. It knows how to play the game. The rest of the elite opposition politicians in the US are always making themselves available for sell. It’s about who sells itself so cheap. at the moment, Weyane seems to sell itself at a prize of dirt cheap that the West can’t refuse. If the camp in the opposition can sell Ethiopia cheaper than Weyane’s prize, then the West will kick Meles & bring you back to power. But you have to keep selling & people won’t stand it so you lot would obviously have to jail, torture & kill them just like Weyane did.
Is this the sort of change you lot are after or is it a sir-neQel change that serves the interest of the people at large?
Just can’t help wondering!
Ato Elias,
I have been reading ER for almost twenty years. I mean starting from the print version. I have admired you at times “wrongly” for your boldness but now you have drained to the bottom of trash and cheap gossip. I know you are not going to post this. I will not go to the low level of personal attack that you are accustomed too. I feel sorry for the many innocent and naive people who follow and admire you. You continue to deceive them. I personally hold you accountable for the failure of the opposition. I will wait for the right forum, moment and time to show to all concerned Ethiopians. Unknowingly you are one of the true enemies that Ethiopia has the list also includes Mengistu, Meles, Issayas, Lencho ,etc.
For all of you out there the picture you see is an excellent physician, hard working with very humble roots, a great father, and a very good friend for many. The meeting was to build an INSTITUTION that we never had and need in Ethiopia regardless of who is governing the country. For those of you who are communists let us tell you that there is nothing wrong in investing and making money and thousands will benefit from the spill over of this project. For your surprise the ones who are planting your venoms here will be the main beneficiaries. Ato Elias AKA (Shiberu), for your information, our good friend and colleague Dr. Mulia is not part of this group and hope he and others will join us. Thanks for the free infomercial.

Dear Mr. Kemesrachochu Andu!
Nobody opposed your building INSTITUTION. What ther trying to tell you is that, as an elite MD. phisicians what took you so long to form that INSTITUTION. You Drs. never had the will or time to form it. Can I tell you some. in 1963 Eth.C., source Ministry of health of Eth. The Total number of Md. Dr. (all trained abroad) were 17)and 52 Health officers. They were all the best Drs., well trained with deep knowledge. After the fall of the H.S the Derge tried to produce more of MD Drs. and send some of them abroad to the socialist countries. some of them in the Addis Ababa University Medical School. All of them never went back home to serve their people. I see them here laboring around their community. Some time I feel sorry for them and some time I feel ashamed with the service their are giving. What I am trying to say is though they are trying to help their community here in(USA), why did they not organize themselves before the GOE comes and gether them. I Do not believe these MDs. joined the meeting without a purpose. I know it from my own and some of my frieds, there is a reason behind it, that they could not object. Do not fool your self. You might give reason the objection is from the opposition groups. NO! NO! This is the idea of every individual who has a concern where this elits are heading to. If truly the way you’r heading is to the benefit of the country, like your boss always say, “Mengedun Cherk yargilachihu. But, That is not the case. You know what NOW the so called Drs. in Ethiopia can not write their name properly, not even in Amharic. That is where you should invest or fund or organize your self as a group.
This is a very sad story. I am one of the docs who attended the meeting. It is amazing to read a story about the group i am involved in and the work we are planning to do in a very distorted way. If you fabircate this news, it sure means you have been fabricating all the other news posted on your site. I frequently used to read your site (to get trusted news)and had appreciation for your contribution to the fall of this regimen (which by the way do not support too). For Gods sake, where are in an era where even the US governemnt is trying to negotiate with the enemy (taliban). If you want to help your country, the only way is not fighting….If you really want to know about this project, you can call or email Dr Tesfaye or one of us and get the info before you write such an embarassing news on your ‘respected’ site. Please get the facts first, which is very easy to get as we all live here in the US. it is A SHAME!!!
Mr MD I saw your ignorant article .You think that you are educated .but my people back home who can not even know to read and write have better commen sense than a moron like you.

Since you are not Ethiopian and think like Ethiopian ,let me tell you one saying “Ye abateh Bet sizeref abereh zeref” that is what your policy is.Buield it and you will get it.

Enough said. I implore you to get an education (start with English so you can read…)
This is better comedy than late night, and FREE!
pleace post their picture so that we boycot going to their facility.these idiots should be known by Ethiopians here and back home.
Please get your fact together. As a young health professional, I am willing to go back and invest my time and education on my people. I care less about the current political regime, as long as I help my people. So are those doctors. We can’t stay away, or run away all the time. We need to use our educated people for the development of our country. So instead of encouraging and supporting those people, it is a disgrace that you accuse them of non-sense. People our problem is that we are so quick to judge and accuse rather than come together and support each other as one nation.
Hey guys I am not a doctor but don’t take everthing negatively. Do you have any evidenence
about those physican meeting?Do not confuse peopleby giving wrong information. I know those doctors they are not politician.
To all the nay Sayers out there
What have you done lately for the country you profess you love so much and are concerned about? Our Medical professional brothers are at least trying to build an institution that will eventually serve all Ethiopians regardless of political affiliation, ethnic background or any other superficial demarcation or who is currently in power.
One might disagree with their idea but it is way out of line to assassinate their character and question their Ethiopianness.
Focus on who ultimately benefits from the proposed project.
Are you still reading my comment?? post it
Only thirty-something years ago, both health-care and education were absolutely free to the public. We now have all kind of vultures led by the millennium wolves about to suck on whatever remains of the people. There is no chance of success or triumph in Ethiopia for the true Ethiopians which leads to mass exodus to forein lands where cycle of slavery, abuse, mental illness, dead-end job/carrier, consumerism, poverty and the like awaits them. In Ethiopia, there is not even a fake master plan pushed by the fake government, so anybody with money and power comes in and do thier own thing. The result is not pretty. The Eritreans have sucking in mind as well as the the Ferengis, the Asians and now the doctors. How is it possible these elements succeed when the master plunderers are in power and are not known for allowing crumbs. Are they positioning themselves for the post Woeyane era? They are hardly for the people.
Hater Elias,
How low can you go?

sami and the likes of you woyanes,
To begin with, why did the woyane racist Ambassadors around the world only invited Tigrean and Eritrean doctors? Once again, woyanes barking at the wrong tree. So far, no one in the history of Ethiopia have ever committed the type of heinous crimes on Ethiopia and Ethiopians as Meles and the tplf have been committing on country and the people. It is not Elias that is armed to his teeth and ruling Ethiopia with iron fist and abusing his power in unimaginable hate and despise manner and taken away Ethiopians’ freedom of speech and press–It is not Elias that is robbing, giving away and selling Ethiopia and Ethiopian women and children to the highest bidders–it is not Elias that is committing heinous crimes on innocent Ethiopians–It is not Elias that has left Ethiopia landlocked–It is not Elias that is displacing Ethiopians and leaving Amharas, oromos and Gambelas in despair and killing them in the hundreds to give their land to foreign billionaires–It is not Elias that is throwing tens of thousands of law abiding citizens in jail with no valid reason or cause…
Sami, God is watching you, try to do the right thing. Try to walk on those Ethiopians shoes who have been kicked out from their land only with the clothes on their backs. Try to walk on shoes of those Ethiopians who are locked up for years and tortured for no reason at all. If you are a Christian or Muslim, that believes in the Merciful God, try to treat others as you want to be treated. What is happening in Ethiopia at the present time, is pure hate and Evil against innocent people.

These Doctors Just want to do the right thing and built a hospital, I don’t understand why you Idiots always take everything interms of poltics. Whether we like it or not, the woyanes are in power at the moment, and I don’t understand why we should always jump to critisize people who try to do the right thing with or without the government in that country. If the hospital built, it is going to be there forever for the people, but the woyanes eventually will go away one day. So, talking negative about people who try to do a right thing in my opinion is very low.
For the guy who commented on me, I know God is watching me and I’m sure he is proud of me that I do care about my country and the poor people, and I can tell He is happy about me, because I always wish good for my holly country.
I don’t think the many of the “physicians” are well guided or have done well thought out good by attending “woyane” organized meeting. There are many capable “non physician” Ethiopian investors currently not investing in Ethiopia because of the existing abuse, tribalism and hostile Environment. In fact physician investors or for that matter other investors who don’t associate with “woyane” are shown the way to leave the country, which the “woyane-tigrians” believe they own (or own us) for blood they shed ousting Mengistu. I know some of the doctors are trying to pay the favor to “woyane “because they are either from their region or “political religion” or they had visa-facilitated when they fled the country for the green pasture. So maybe it is payback time.
I know there are dedicated, selfless Ethiopian professionals who are toiling for public good with no payback at home and outside that deserve respect. I am sure this meeting was orgnized by “woyane-tigrian doctors” and their sympathizers for woyane public relation promotion and perhaps for some economic gains in sharing the spoils of “woyane”.
It would be good to see the name list of the participants. Ethiopian public has the right to know who is who and what is being done in its name. Ethiopian review, I thank you for bringing this in to public attention.
