On the weekend of March 24, 2012, the Woyanne ambassador in Washington DC, Girma Birru, held a meeting with over 70 exiled Ethiopian physicians who reside in the US. As reported by Ethiopian Review previously, the objective of the meeting in Alexandria, Virginia, was to discuss about a plan to build a private referral hospital in Ethiopia, but the hidden agenda is for the Woyanne junta to the doctors for its crude propaganda at home.
The doctors had initially planned the hospital project as a private enterprise and formed an organization named “Ethiopian American Doctors Group EADG.” However, as in every Ethiopian organization, Woyanne agents did not waste time to infiltrate the group with the help of some opportunist individuals. Now, EADG is fully controlled by Woyanne junta agents, including Henock Gebregziabher, Getachew Hagos, Mezgebe Berhe, Abiy Mekoya Gebreselassie Nida, and former physician of Meles Zenawi, Mulai Teklu Yohannes.
Some of the doctors have withdrawn their membership after they found out about Woyanne’s involvement.
Ethiopian Review obtained a list of current active members of the EADG.

Just because they are doctors and they know better than most of you, it is not right trying to destroy there life. I am not the one who is boneheaded.

If they are interesting to serve their country, why they left their country? Sometimes, it is hard to give personal judgment as professional person. Critical thinkers do not rush to Jude another person. They took time to find out the creditably of the information. They will exam, evaluate, and asses the information to pass their judgment. I believed, those doctors escaped from their county to save their life. We all know that so why are you trying to communicate with someone you disagree with. It is a moral issue to think about it. We live in the technology age therefore we can not hide anything from the public. This is true. We are not dart throwers. We are your brothers and sisters. If you are real doctors stop co-prate with the government.

DESSTA,
Don’t blame these doctors for leaving Ethiopia. Once, Melese told them that Ethiopia doesn’t need doctors.
It is good news that Doctors make house visit- this time Ethiopia- no pun intended. But what kind of a house( this time woyane controlled and abused country) are they going to? I hope this learned and compassionately human life oriented physicians should know better about human right violations in the country they are destined to invest their skill, money and reputation. Before they step foot they should avoid being hoodwinked and have to make their involvement conditional with relation to human rights and other documented abuses done locally and internationally by a de facto government ato Girma represents.
Why do you oppose everything? I am talking to you Elias, these ethiopian doctors are gone invest to build a hospital not a military training camp. We all should thank and appreaciate what they will do, not call them woyane or other names even if they may be. I am proud of my ethiopian doctors, keep up the good work and God bless all of you.

Hey you dedeb, you have nothing else to say? Anyone who defected from EPRDF deserves to apply for asylum. even you are living in the West, you don’t care what is going on. The message that was posted is not against opening a hospital in Ethiopia. The message is Woyanne is going to use this as a propaganda tool to say” the educated doctors in America believe and trust the TPLF” therefore “the uneducated ordinary people of Ethiopia should be ruled by our laws not by the rule of law’ This is what Elias is trying to tell you guys. Some of you say “Elias is jealous” ” it is ok to be a tool of TPLF as long as it is a Hospital for the people” and tomorrow “it is ok if any one in USA who speaks English can go and replace the teachers in Ethiopia because they were fired” and University professors, bank and insurance specialists and so on and on. So because these people are doctors we are not going to tell them what they are doing is wrong? To me that time when Ethiopians used to obey a person with a Dr. in front of his name is gone. Thank God there are many more doctors who will see the reason behind all this. Don’t forget there are TPLF members who are also doctors, lawyers, accountants etc even though many of them are just foot soldiers like Meles with scars of flea bites on their backs.

Anonymous,you have a big problem to solve in front of you.
1- you insulted an Ethiopian friend over his English. I just want to remind you that if you think the doctors mentioned are good English speakers and writers, I can prove you wrong.
2- another thing is also there are some doctors who become medically interested to save people’s lives, have a human nature of compassion. A good example is Doctors without Borders. They are a dedicated and very educated medical professionals who have given their comfortable lives for the poor. But on the other side there are some doctors who like the money they are making and worked hard to get there.They don’t care about the poor, they care about money and fame.they have no other brain power left for them to think about political, social and economic problems of the majority of the people.So you should know the medical system is also corrupt like any other systems in society.
Dr. Asrat was a surgeon with outstanding experience and dedication for his country and became a victim of TPLF thiefs.
3- Anonymous, if you have not understood what I just said to you, Here is another advice. There is a book called “Doctors of Death”.It tells you how many doctors worked for Hitler and killed millions of Jews and other innocent people.Try to read it.
Don’t be annoyed at me. This is a fact of reality. I guess you went to bed happy after insulting my brothers and sisters of my country. But I hope i gave you a big headache now.
And finally, to the Ethiopian doctors whose names mentioned above. We are proud of you guys reaching to where you are at as professional medical doctors. Some of you have a very good intention of helping our people. However, Please understand and try to listen to what we are saying. Don’t be used by this government that imprisoned and fired many professional educated people like you just because they did not agree with its policies. Give these people a respect by saying NO to the government’s plan of lies and propaganda. Once you are in Ethiopia and if you are not happy with what you see and say something, you are gone.You will “accidentally” disappear or charged “helping terrorists”

And you should get a license for being that stupid.
How did you know i am sending $50 to my relatives?Is that supposed to be an insult too? Many Ethiopians send money to their relatives when ever they can even on holidays. So you are telling us you are sending more? I can easily tell you are a kid. you are just a blue print for building an idiot.

In my opinion, these are quacks. I do not why they fell prey to one of the world’s notorious mercenary group. They are being used for propaganda purposes. In a country where 95% of the population goes to bed without a single meal because this shifta group, the so-called doctors are going to build hospitals to “help’ the people. What a joke! I thought only a few of those azemaris are gluttons. What a bunch of depressed losers!!
Elias, thanks again for the job well done.
This is health matter,and helping the Ethiopian poor to get better treatment in any way possible is not a bad thing by itself. A single addition of hospital with modern medical equiipment and trained Doctors will only help the people. So why oppose it? Someone said “make it conditional on human rights” Really? Does the tribal racist cancer Woyane cares about human rights? Just do what you can to change the lives of the poor people of Ethiopia while also fighthing to remove the Woyane cancer from power.
– EK
It is unlikely they’ll succeed under the current government even if they went ahead with their plans. Believe it, nothing under Dergue and Woeyane come to fruition or has blessed longevity. It is the trend they set that is troubling though. Besides, they are the DV generation doctors. The trend for the last 20 years (since Woeyane came to power) particularly in the Western world, has been a businessman-celebrity doctor. In the age of the wolves, doctors, too, can be top wolves. In the U.S, where there is a shortage of doctors, going for big dollars is always the case. The U.S will never satisfy its doctor needs because the doctors keep on moving on to specialities and research where the bucks are even bigger and rewarding. In the process, we have a sub class of generations of Indian and Pakistani doctors (majority) in a country where the last medical school was built or opened back in the fifties. Poor countries like Ethiopia in the meantime donate doctors to the U.S. Expect a bussinessman-celebrity-multitalented doctor to dominate your already intimidated little life. If there is good government somewhere, it’ll correct the trend. Made in America.
Thanks Elias do not be discouraged by hodams and so-called Hager wodaj. Hitler had also collaborators and fascist Meles would have not killed/looted and stayed in power for so long without hodams/collaborators. It may take some time to wake up like the previous hodams from Dr Berhanu/Fisseha etc. Woyane/Meles told us and the Ethiopian people that their major aim is to disintegrate Ethiopia and build greater TIGRAI. Until now they are doing everything according to plan and there are still some hodams who are not willing to see this or wake up blinded by personal gains.
I cant believe people with a rational mind are objecting this humaniterian motive! I dont care who the next goverment is going to be, but why not build a modern referal hospital?, I am sure most of these doctors owe the country!! I think we should use common sense some times!
Think replies:
April 6th, 2012 at 8:42 AM
habesh do you think the poor people of Ethiopia will have a chance to be treated in that referral hospital ? Think again, it is for propaganda my dear. This news will give origin to the olmost deat body of weyane. All foreign currency have been looted out of the country any way.People please weak up don’t send your hard earned money back home ,those tugs will take it away from you. Ask others not a weyane rep about investing, you will find out how many lost their houses to family members there is no RULE OF LAW in Ethiopia .keep your money where you are.
Here is my point:
It was a good idea if everyone of us here in USA go and contribute to our motherland in each and every aspect of our people’s life: health, education, industry, agriculture etc. But the military junta is continuously distracting what others built or building. Why? the only reason the woyane wants is not real development but to stay long in power while others are dying. I do not think natural disease is killer than woyane itself in the country. Why you build the hospital? Are you going to work in it? or you think the current woyane education will produce real doctors to help the people and work in it? I think this is paradoxical moral and ethical dilemma. Think about it before you decide and talk about it. I agree that you as a professional citizen should contribute at least something for your country. But here is the fact on the ground . People are dying due to the disease that is supported by malnutrition. The people you know 20 years ago can’t feed themselves 2wise a day. They can’t send their children to school like they send you 30, 20 years ago. The reason is life is getting sourly expensive from time to time. You may argue that this is “common everywhere in the world”. But in our country it is different guys. Woyane is getting richer and richer than Democrat or Republican party in the US. Why? Because they controlled everything in different names and business shares. Do you think woyane is unable to build this hospital? do you? come on, Woyane can build 100 or more such hospitals if he wants. But they don’t need to. Even the old hospitals are poorly equipped purposely. Where as the Mekele Referral Hospital is designed to pass the emergency ambulance up to the third floor or fourth floor in the building with the patient. I mean guys this days will pass but those of you who do not speak the truth today, “Woyewlachihu!” Your son and grand son will pay the price. You have power and money to say something in the name of the Ethiopian poor to the world. You can ask the US gov.t to help you remove this blood sucker Junta and put another good gov.t instead. Why you approve this mercenary to continue in his job? Ignore your support by treating those victims already. Think to help them to stop the cause that makes them sick, wounded, die due to its “zeregna agezaz”
Majority of you and your name sense to me you are Amhara. That is why woyane is insulting Amahara calling ” Ahiya” “Hadgey” ” donkey” because he knows this animal cant refuse anything she carry , do not refuse to go anywhere, do not care about herself, do not see far (short sighted)
Sorry i will be Dr one day but not like you, intoxicated by paradoxical moral and ethical dilemma.
Elias, I appreciate your commitment in informing your people. For me, commenting on this issue is walking on a fine line. But, I decided to furnish my opinion from my experience in the past.
I have been in Ethiopia twice within the last 6 months. I have visited Betezata, one of the private hospitals in Addis in order to seek medication for my mom. Most Ethiopians cannot afford to be there or other hospitals. Most of the patients are our Tigrai brothers and sisters. Access to healthcare is almost impossible for the majority of Ethiopians.
During my stay in Addis, I also watched a documentary on ETV regarding those best health centers and Hospitals in Tigra. The elites, of course, get whatever care they want. By one or another way, majority of the victims are poor Ethiopians. Let these doctors try to help the poor. If things go in the wrong direction, however, let them withdraw their commitment.

thank you for your courageous comment…
It’s your money and you can give it to whomever you want, but it’s good to be a responsible giver. Hope most of you knows that Ethiopians problem is way far from building/medical facility. New buildings are growing overnight here and their but those buildings are not solving the country’s chronic problem, rather they are aggravating it. if you see some kind of hope which most of us don’t see I got to say Good Luck. otherwise it’s just a bribe. any irresponsible givings kill the poor and fatten the corrupt cadres.
The past 20 years is a testimony by itself that Meles doesn’t do anything to help the Ethiopian people. How can we expect from a tyrant who gave orders Ethiopians to be gunned down, thrown in jail, murdered, evicted from their homes and thrown in the streets and sell their land to foreigners? Does this dictator seem that cares what happens to Ethiopians? In Ethiopia, poor Ethiopians go to the hospitals to die, if they ever get a chance even get admitted. Ethiopians might as well die at home with their dignity intact than going in a filthy hospitals that lacks well trained doctors and nurses and necessary medications. I recently heard from an Ethiopian who went to Ethiopia to visit his mother who was admitted in one of the hospitals in Addis, my friend who is a nurse in US was distraught when he finally got to see the conditions of the hospital and the lack of care his mother and other patients were being given at that hospital. The IV wasn’t placed properly and his mother’s arm was swollen badly and screaming for help and yet the demoralized and over worked workers were watching TV in another room and never bother to run and see why the patient was screaming about. This woman was one of the lucky ones, who happened to have a well trained son that took matters in his hands against the hospital rules and the workers and took his mother out of that hospital and were able to help his mother at her home.
so what is the big deal!? They can do things which, they believe, will help the country! Here is my word: keep it up!!!
Thanks Elias,

What is wrong to have a meeting or collaboration with a government people? “enei kemoetihu serdo aybekel….”
Some of you seem to think as long as the idea is to establish a better health care in the country the collaboration with Woyane is ok. Woyane is using this kind of collaborations towards its own advantage not for the nation’s benefit. Woyane received US$7 billion from IDA, Euro 1.2 billion from Europe, about the same amount from USA in the past 21 years. In addition, the majority of the most fertile virgin arable land in the country has been sold for over 50 years; all the state farms and industries established by the previous administrations has been sold or are in the process. Where is the revenue? Construction of empty buildings in every remote corners and calling those universities? Or Constructing roads that take to nowhere? Or Building dams that are neither sustainable nor priority at this point in time?
All these constructions are supeficial in terms of economic development. They are all implemented to make woyane officials richer and EFFORT bigger.
Do these doctors have the sense of what is going on in the country? Do they know who they are collaborating with? If they are so supportive of woyane, why did they left the country in the first place? Why don’t they return to Ethiopia and work for woyane full time?

We have to stop this donor mentality. Yes, the West gives money, that is exactly the PROBLEM that we are expecting hand out to develop our country. These poor nations will never learn from the past and expect a hand out without any conditions. In fact this money given in billions to TPLF is to purchase weapons so that to kill and threaten us as well as for anti terrorism. So in fact the aid in the form of money, weapons or food is very much counter productive for us. In fact, with our own money or let us say if we don’t have money, we can only get loans for weapons when threatened or to curb dictatorships so that the people can live in peace and develop. TPLF got this weapon aid to get rid of Mengistu and unfortunately used it to control Ethiopians and steal and threaten Ethiopia. So TPLF became dictator number #2 after Menigstu, same thing. Otherwise, we need to grown our own food and develop our own self rather than getting donor money. That is the problem. If TPLF didn’t have the weapons they would have been long gone.
Do you have better intelect or moral capacity to criticise or condemn those Ethiopia and USA educated successfull doctors?
All this doctors try to do is Good for the country.gov. come and go. but every thing is built if its hospital road or other thing will stay for the next generation.some here say they contribute for weyane economy..so next time Mr.Elias will list every ethio who visit ethio and some way contribute for the country economy?
if you wonder why meles is in power for 20 years go no further than this thread. how can you villify and threaten doctors who are trying to payback to a nation that raised and educate them by building hospital???just because you threw a couple of conspiracy theory by sprinkling it with few names that sound from tigray, it doesnt justify your campaign to stop these few selfless ethiopians from buliding a hospital that is desperately needed in ethiopia…please have some decency and respect for ethiopians.
If the meeting is for real development of new Hospital that can serve our people that is fine. If it is only for Political goals from Gov point of view and to build their house at home from the Drs point then that will be a shame of Nation.
Ethiopia is “the luckiest” Country she has got so many Drs,Politicians, Social Scientist and others who are totally against her development/growth and who claim the growth of economy while the country is bleeding.
The amazing thing is, we have historians who know nothing about their country but who know more about USA and Europe.

i know nothing about other history.but i know the history of band TPLF like you sucking Ethiopia boon dry… before you tel us you are Ethiopian tell us what TPLF means,then we will tell your banda a.s whether you are Ethiopian or not.
ER,
When you are posting such sensitive subject such as development that is still not clear to us whether the TPLF junta is genuine on this or not. We must analyze our own definition of development. Therefore, when you present such article to us, make it debatable rather than going directly to criticizing even if your fact finding is the truth. What I am saying is that, make it so that is this project is going to work or not even TPLF is going to block it and uses it to its own agenda? For instance there are many genuine Ethiopian diaspora that say, even though they know the agenda of TPLF, their contribution to rescue to Ethiopia’s plight MIGHT help a little. I can understand from those who are really concerned to Ethiopia’s plight and despite TPLF’s obstruction, they will go and try. That is why TPLF wants to get credibility of the genuine Ethiopia’s development on itself rather than the Ethiopian diaspora who went back and made a huge difference. Take for example, the engineer, Kitaw Ejigu who never had problem with TPLF and wanted to focus only on development of Ethiopia, poured his hard work and money to go to Ethiopia and develop it. When he went back, he was told to start development from Tigray rather than development to his native region in the South, somewhere in Arusi and other regions of Ethiopia even including Tigray. He disagreed on this based on observation that more development is pouring in Tigray region disporportionately compared to other regions eventhough he has no objection to Tigray’s devleopment. He was instantly blocked from implementing development. There are also many cases where Ethiopia’s bright diaspora went back, gave their best skills and money and later were blocked after TPLF acquired the skills and money used it for itself. So some Diaspora have be duped thinking they will make a difference. There are other greedy and heartless diaspora who are bent on working with TPLF perpetuating misery for Ethiopians.
What needs to be found out about the project these doctors are going to do is that they really need to do their homework and find out that what is the agenda behind it. Meaning did this idea come from TPLf-supported groups in the first place? If so, what is the agenda? The true doctors who truly want to make a difference in Ethiopia also should do their own research by enquiring those in Ethiopia (if they are able to get real answers) and the diaspora who returned from Ethiopia ask them what their experience was in Ethiopia under tPLF. Because the transparency of TPLF and their supporters is very hidden, the doctors could be duped later on after they poured their labor and money in Ethiopia. Even if TPLF uses it for propoganda, is the benefit to help Ethiopians if it is indeed true, out weights the agenda that tplf is going to use it for? It is possible, it may not help Ethiopia at all or only Tigray region. Who knows. In this case, it is hard to judge and will be found out after fact unfortuantely. It is because the trust of us diaspora and Ethiopians on TPLF is very low, because history has shown us for 20 some years, we have been duped and tricked thousands of times under TPLF.

Dr. Dering
At Auschwitz, Dering removed ovaries after Schumann’s x-ray applications by cutting horizontal lines above the pubic area (instead of cutting by the abdominal opening), which put the patient more at risk for infection (Lifton, 1986). After the operation, he sent the ovaries to the labs to ascertain how effective the x-rays were in destroying the tissue.
Dr. Auther Dietzsch
A doctor at Buchenwald, Dietzsch suggested that Dr. Ding (Schuler) inject typhus patients with fresh blood; this killed them.
Dr. Ding (Schuler)
He tried to immunize patients that had typhus by giving them fresh blood at Buchenwald; this resulted in their deaths. He also gave patients typhus in order to perform other ineffective “curative” experiments on them.
Dr. Arnold Dohmen
Dohmen worked with Kurt Gutzeit at Auschwitz and began experimenting primarily with animals.

Elias,
This is going to backfire on us!! Why do you keep pushing people to the other camp?? I know many of these doctors personally. They have nothing to seek from TPLF. What they are doing has to be seen from a completely different perspective.
1) From a business point of view, there is a mature market for high quality medical care in Ethiopia. This is a gap created by the despicable state of the public health system, for which TPLF is partly responsible. Many of our compatriots are spending their lives’ savings to seek treatment in Thailand, South Africa and India. If the same quality of service can be offered at home, our poor families will save millions of dollars yearly. What is the problem with that?
2) We need this type of institution regardless of whoever is in power. We have to see beyond TPLF’s reign. We can’t put on hold all investments “until TPLF is removed”. This just doesn’t make sense.
3) If you are economically independent, you are more free to participate in the political affairs of the country. (That is why TPLF is harassing the business community.) So, what is the problem if some of our compatriots try to improve their economical situation while providing good quality services?
4) Ethiopia, like many other developing countries, is suffering from the brain drain. This type of project can lead to “brain gain”. If it is successful, some of them will move back from the US to Ethiopia. Who in their right mind would oppose that?
In short, you are condemning these people without analyzing the potential benefits of this project to our country.
If TPLF tries to use that for propaganda, let them try! Who would be swayed by that? For your information, this is how our people describe TPLF: “The TPLF would try to take credit for good rains and blame the opposition for drought.”
Let all who can do there share be praised!! I know most of the doctor’s and what they want to do is help there ppl the way they can regardless of there political views, so in my view they should be praised.Government will come and go but what you build for your country will be always their.Let’s put aside our political difference and join together when it’s a cause like this one. PLS stop the HATE!!!
that is why ethiopia will never advance. wHEN SOME ONE COMES WITH GOOD INTENSTION TO HELP THE NATION, YOU DISCOURAGE THEM BY CRITISISING AND SAYING SUPPORTOR OF THE GOVERNMENT. CAN thepoor ppl in ehtiopia have at list a chance to hospital or giving back from th diaspora?

You and your friend my think and assume in your narrow mind, but the Ehio-American Doctors Group vision is simple; to establish The state of the art Hospital for the country and Ethiopian, who is living there and dying every day due to lack of appropriate medical care; Some are losing their properties for searching better medical care abroad.
Believe me, all the physician are well paid the live a decent life here and their intention is not making money, rather they are taking the risk to lose. The commitment they have is tremendous, items of time and money

If tyrant Meles cares for the poor Ethiopians, he would have improved the hospitals that is already there and he wouldn’t be looting the country—brutally abusing and locking up and killing Ethiopians.
I bet, the new modernize hospital that is going to build is for the foreign billionaire land owners, their associates, Dictator Meles and his family, members of TPLF, Almoudi and his wives and children.
It’s been a while since I have been on this website. Attack…attack…attack without even knowing the intent of the organization. If we have to blame Meles for everything… I agree with you for what he was doing for the first ten years. With everything you know and have seen you have been on the side line for the last ten years and been cheering him by doing nothing.

It is premature to say for sure if these individuals are really Weyane sympathizers. The whole purpose of the meeting could be creating this drama by leaking the names of hard working Physicians to public.
It is irresponsible to compare those physicians with Nazi era doctors without having facts in hand.

First of all “Dr.XX”It doesn’t fit you as a user name.As a professional,you shouldn’t repeat the same idiotic reply twice.The bottom line is if you have a thieve friend working with, what are you? Beside this how many people can get access to this hospital in a country like Ethiopia has food inflation almost 42 percent (1700 birr for 100Kg Teff)?
What kind of scientist are you what all respect?
I think this is not wise opinion.I don’t think these docs want to establish a for free hospital-they want to establish a private hospital, just like the private Korean hospital in Addis. The reality in Ethiopia is the number of super rich and super poor is dramatically increasing. The super rich in Ethiopia is willing to pay and is capable of paying for a state of the art medical care.I don’t see any problem if the diaspora doctors are targeting this emerging market in Ethiopia-it is a win-win situation.How can you allow a Korean doctor to open a private hospital in Ethiopia and deny the same opportunity to a citizen doctor of that country.
I am quite certain that some of the Doctors have known or educated by Professor Asrat who was tortured by Meles’ government. Prof Asrat was released from prison after they made sure that he was not going to survive. They literally killed him. Many Ethiopian scientists including the late Dr Kitaw Ejigu have proposed plans to modernize and change the political and social landscape of the country working side by side with the government, but since their intentions were clear and all about helping Ethiopia selflessly and sincerely, they were rejected. Now, I fail to understand why these Doctors chose to collaborate with Meles in order to “help” Ethiopia. I am sure there is an agenda behind that and ofcourse some of them might have been absorbed in the Western life so much that they have lost touch with their country, people and who runs the country. They need to wake up and see. If the intention was reasonably sincere, Meles could have made Al Amoudi invest in the healthcare and create a profit pipeline for the investor to take advantage of by making foreign donors support the hospital. Al Amoudi gets money and tax breaks both in the country and abroad, Meles gets good name, the people gets better healthcare but the fact is, neither Meles or Al Amoudi are up for the well being of Ethiopians. Its all politics in the name of the poor. AlAmoudi’s medical assistance to some people around his circle or came to his attention by his entourages can not represent other Ethiopians and doesn’t make him generous. There is no foundation he established to help the poor, the elders and orphans, nothing close to these kinds of acts, so don’t tell me, this is all from a good faith. Forget it.
God Bless Ethiopia

It is sad; most physicians are politically, for that matter, sometimes socially dumb and less informed but academically genius. Therefore they need to be informed about current state of affairs about their country. That could be by sending in pamphlet, organizing discussion fora, publication or other accessible stuff into their address or kind of thing. I am not sure how much concerned group in the Diaspora opposition tried and failed in updating Ethiopians [especially to those who label themselves neutral or unconcerned current or past citizens of Ethiopia] on national issues. If nothing was done on that regard, it is public relation disaster for politicians. It means Woyane leads in this prospect!
Health professionals [may be many other professionals as well] work themselves hard in a closed professional system, reading mostly on their own profession and keeping the rest of the issues out of focus. They need good approach, lobbying, not condemnation, and frequent re-orientation!!!
By the way, it is interesting that there are many more doctors that have not participated in this ill-fated meeting. Perhaps they are wise people enough to weigh the pros and cons of outcome of such charged meeting or even questioned the value and real benefit of investing in current Ethiopia savaged by ethnic division and misrule controversies. It is, again, good not to forget that there are gentle physicians from Tigray region [sad that the region, for good reason, now has almost become stigmatizing!]who did not participate in the meeting for one or another reason which no one knows.
Of course there it is true the heading elites, who ill-advised the rest of the “DOCTOR” congregation, for the meeting are woyane-physicians from the stated region. For those who think building a hospital is going to add to the solution to public health problem in Ethiopia, forget it!! It is just business and woyane public relation promotion, one news fanfare for “ETV” to beguile already beguiled public.

the weyanes doctors are a part of the crime perpetuated on ethiopian people by weyane – istead of cleaning and maintaining the hospitals back home – not one hospital has been built in Addis since the coming of weyane – the hopitals are so dirty it is worse than the prisons and no one with serious health problem comes out alive – since most of the doctors have turned out to be merchants and butchers
Personally, I respect the doctors without doubt but when the doctors lose their moral guides,I have difficulty to believe their educational capability. When we have a sickness, we trust the doctors to treat us based on their education experience. It is true to love and respect doctors. Now, I have great doubt to believe them because our mom (Ethiopia) is dying with ethical sickness. Beneficence is the principle that health professionals should act in the best interest of of the patient. This is the principle of ethical. This is the role of the health care professional. Where is the love of the patient? where is the love of the country. Your mom (Ethiopia) is calling for treatment. She need help. Nowadays, she is not looking building, she is looking someone to help her to treat her wounds. If we have a zeal, we can treat her before she die.

What a nonsense. I can’t believe we are getting dummer as the world is ahead of us by several miles. Molla, can you transilate this in Amharic if I can understand you better. I am really having hard time understanding your concept. Do you know the meanings of the words you sprinkled here and there? Yes, it is the role of the professional to treat the sick and that is why we are packing up to go back and help the sick back home despite our political differrences. Do you know there are 90+ million Ethiopians in Ethiopia now? from what I understand I think you are conspiring to say that all the 90+ million should boycot the government and leave the country like you did be it through Bole or Metema. It doesn’t work that way. Change should come from within not in correspondence from your parking lot booth in DC or Seattle. You need to stop spreading your cheap propaganda. Who wants to die (again) for you while you are living here in the West be it a cheap life by the West standards. Don’t you fear God, atleast when you drum war while you are in hiding.I think you are void of your cortex if you know what that is. This applies for all of you including Elias and others who lost their minds long time ago.
grow up please

You are just going around from comment to comment and criticizing our English,our ideas and every thing else we say. Something is bugging you or there is an itch in your cortex and this is one of your way of scratching it. You are just full of S…, who is trying to show off and trying to tell us you are more educated than all of us. We may be uneducated as you might think or we may be more educated than you are, but that does not matter when it comes to loving your country.That is what you haven’t got. Every time you open your mouth(sorry may be you can’t open your mouth)you have never said anything good about our country or the problems the Ethiopian people are facing.
By the way cortex is a kind of food that comes from Mars. I hope I am right.Otherwise you are going to reply to tell me it comes from the Moon.
