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Some of the doctors have withdrawn their membership after they found out about Woyanne’s involvement.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.

Do you know that most of the top universities including the ivy leauges of America have replica universities in Arabia and places like Singapore. Yes, Singapore has full size replica YALE N.U.S (Yale National University Singapore) and a John Hopkins medical college fully staffed with Americans. The best is brought to them like McDonald’s franchise. Meanwhile the nice people of Ethiopia keep finishing last. The U.S, which built its last medical school in the ninety-fifties and is comfortable stealing doctors from the neediest of the world, is opening top satellite universities in mainly Arab and Muslim countries. The hypocrite and prostitute U.S has no qualms when it comes to hypocricy and injustice. The problems of Ethiopia only grows at super computer compounded rate of major bank. Nice people finish last was said for us.

There is nothing wrong with this great noble idea of openning state of the art hospital in Ethiopia, let us try to be positive.
I have to be honest with you that you cannot win people’s heart this way. By posting their name here you are actually creating enemies against yourself and playing a game against your own goal.
If you a revolutionary, you must have the ability even to change or win the heart of Meles Zenawi’s body guards. Woyane did this long ago unliketoday before it was corrupted like today. It convinced Derg soldiers to join and fight with it.
I am affraid, your strategy is not good at all. you can not promote your agenda by scaring or intimidating people. You were supposed to convince people to follow your better way. But now you are telling them if they do not do what you would like them to do, they do not have any right.
You must understand people have rights to choice whom they want to support and you cannot control people’s interest or decision. It is like marriage, people have to marry someone whom they love, not someone whom you love for them. I respect you Elias, and I admire you courage but I give you zero in this media stigmatizing campaign of Doctors. It will work against you. you must now these people can take you to court. This is an offence. you do not have a right to post the name of people without their permission or agreement. Thus you are breaching people’s rights and dignity. You have to be careful. You must know you have incurred damage on these people now psychologically. I never expect this time of weak stragey from you.
You are pushing them to join the corrupt government of Meles Zenawi.

you have been trying to demoralise Ethiopian for the last 21 year.that have been the tactic of TPLF but it dos not work any more. we want truth and we get the truth from the true Ethiopian like Elias, not from banda hodam like you or any one associated with TPLF..
Elias,
I am Tadesse Tena (MD). Please add my name in to your list. I am also one of them. You cannot simply intimidate anybody. If you think that way, you need to grow up.
What kind of politician are you? You are just a fun.
I was very radically opposing Woyane during the CUD era and after. Now, I am not. Because, I really dislike the way people like Elias and other so called oppositions are behaving and acting towards individuals. Really, you are playing child/immature politics. Do you think that is the way change government and bring democracy? I don’t think so!

I say about 80 million Ethiopians have no faith on Meles and the rest of tplf due to their 20 years history of crimes on Ethiopia and Ethiopians. How can Ethiopians expect Meles would be kind enough to build a modern hospital to help the same people he has left landlocked, abused, incarcerated, tortured, killed, looted, taken and sold their land in Gambela, Gondar and Wollo? I was in Ethiopia a few years ago in one of the province country side, and in one week of time alone, three young women died while giving birth. The small hospital that was suppose to serve thousands of people is not equipped enough to be called a clinic, let alone a hospital. It is not a secret that Meles doesn’t care for Ethiopians. What he had done to the teachers, journalists, to the opposition party members, to the university students, to the citizens of Addis, to the people of Gambela, to the Amharas in the south, to the people of Gondar, Wollo and Oromo…everywhere anybody want to look in Ethiopia, Meles and tplf have committed despicable and unimaginable act of horror on the country and Ethiopians.
I have no doubt, knowing Meles and tplf, the new hospital that is going to build on the backs of 80 million Ethiopians, will be for profit that give services to the wealthiest people.
Minas what kind of question is that? Elias reported the good Doctors are working in collaborateing with weyane to hurt Ethiopians not to get health care for the POOR, don’t try to be you are one of us.
Doctor Tadesse Tena!
You are a political opportunist, pathetic, greedy and unworthy of the credential you hold as MD. You can shove your MD in your you know where for it means nothing to the people of Ethiopia. You are self-serving individual who thinks your duty as you see it and have a blind spot. You are doging your duty as a physician than would be required to discharge it honorably. Don’t tell us that you have the interest of the Ethiopian people at heart when you signed to participate in this shady scheme of Woyane and its agents. It is not too late to change your mind for wise people sometimes change their minds — fools, never.

If you think you can bring people to your belief just by insulting them, I don’t think that works. Instead, it goes to the opposite of your interest. Be rational. For how long Ethiopians are continue to bad mouthing each other, while the rest the world is changing in all aspect.
I can hardly believe how ignorant abesha people are. These doctors are actually trying to help our people and all you guys can focus on is that they are investing in Ethiopia and thus collaborating with Woyane. If you guys represent the opposition, whatever that is, may Wayane reign forever.

So, what is the issues here; these doctors have the right to attend and participate in any affair about their country. It is a trade mark of Ethiopian Review to character assassinate people who shown political maturity.
Mr. Elias you have your father in USA but you and your Prof. Ale care less for regular Ethiopians. As Dr. do you want them to drive a Cab or work at parking Lot?

Elias, it is a disgrace and shameful for the ethiopian review to post there names on the web. Personal attackes are not the way to go to be heard…If we all want to have our country grow we need to work together. I don’t support the Meles regime but I believe that investing in the country is a good idea that ultimatly help the nation. We can’t wait till the Meles regime fails before starting to help our people…espcially on health issues…has any of your families, freinds…died because of lack of helath care?

#60,61 & 62,
You and the likes of you are worse than the three stooges! Obviously, these Doctors are good examples, that having MD or PHD doesn’t guarantee of making honorable moral decision not to work with a dictator that has been ruling the country with iron fist, intentionally left the country landlocked, robbed the country and locking up hundreds of innocent Ethiopians in prison, torturing and killing innocent Ethiopians, evicting people from their homes, selling Ethiopia’s land, using Ethiopian children and young Ethiopian girls as commodity …the crimes of Meles and TPLF are endless. These doctors know that Ethiopians have been abused for the last twenty years by tyrant Meles and his TPLF thugs with unimaginable cruelty and these doctors have chosen to work with the most heartless cruel tyrant that has spilled the blood of countless number of Ethiopians as Hitler did to the Jews. It is unfortunate, these doctors drop their moral value and got motivated by money to work with a known dictator who is responsible for the deaths of so many and has left hundreds of thousands victims parents and the rest of their family members with never ending nightmares! The Bible tells us: The roots of all Evil is MONEY!

You guys are ridicules!! What type of politics is this? Listing name of Ethiopian Doctors as Woyane.. You got to be kidding me!! This is nothing less than political bankruptcy. Ethiopian Review (The Ethiopian review I have known for many years) was one that focused on issues, rather than personalities. ER was at one time accused by almost every politician of every side for facilitating a debate between/among politicians of Ethiopian origin and that of Eritrean. I am sure the current government of Ethiopian did not have any issue over ER’s behavior at the time. But most of us, including myself opposed its pragmatic approach towards how we should discuss politics among ourselves. I thought Mr Kiffle was ahead of his time, indeed he was.
However, the current list of individuals gives me a sense that Mr Elians Kiffle has gone to become one of us, corrupted politicians. He lost the compass once he had. Character-assassination may work if directed to those who possess political power, but going after Ethiopian Doctors will only backfire. Mr Elias, here is a brotherly advice from someone who admired your work and your firm stand on what you believe in: swim out of this non-sense political activity. You produce much more result by focusing on issues rather than individuals. The Doctors listed here, have right to be even member of Ehadeg, let alone sympathizers.

There is a mixed blessing.

He is claims and billings dude. Good. The bad thing? They would be asked detained by calling Majoo, because the wine farm needs some money. It is broke and would be executed by a stalker and commonwealth Bank/Hoax which is strictly for Virginians of three to four gens.

Some of you fools keep on repeating the same sentence like a child in kindergarten: “why don’t you go back and help your country?” Meles and his mafia group, do not want people who are willing to help their motherland, country men and women. The best and the brightest Ethiopians have been killed and hundreds of thousands are locked up in the rotten rat filled woyane prisons. Meles and Co. want people to join them in their illegal skims to make more money by selling the country’s fertile land, children, girls, gold, coffee, mining businesses and other Ethiopian natural resources, even cattle while millions of Ethiopians starving to death. And now, they want to build a Hospital that serves the wealthiest people in Ethiopia and the riches people from neighboring countries. Meles and his mafia group DO NOT CARE FOR ETHIOPIA AND ETHIOPIANS, JUST MONEY! Ask and talk to yourselves-why would a so called leader of the country would give every inch of Ethiopia’s sea port and robbed her blind, if he cares for Ethiopia and the citizens he is responsible for? Sell her land to foreigners, dividing Ethiopians in ethnic groups, evicted Ethiopians and leaving them in the cold and hundreds been killed in Gambela alone. What happened to your judgments? Why are you supporting a dictator whose hands are dripping with the blood of countless number of Ethiopians? Are you some of those people who carry Bible or Qur’an and pray everyday and still ignore the sufferings of human beings and injustices and still supports a heartless tyrant who abuses his power? It just doesn’t make sense.
I am so saddened by the articles as well as some of the comments regarding the doctors who wanted to build state of the art referral hospital in Ethiopia. I am not one of the doctors nor am I a supporter of the incumbent. However, I do not see anything wrong if medical professionals in the Diaspora unite to build something in their home country. I believe that most of these doctors got their basic medical education in Ethiopia and it is good that they wanted to do something, which we all should support and encourage. There is no ground to say that these people are supporters of the current government. Their interest to invest in their home country should never be equated with political action either. The writer did not provide any evidence for the claim he is making. What happened to evidence based, balanced journalism? Why should everything be politicized or ethnicized? This government has its own issues and hopefully it will be resolved in time. However, why should we wait for utopia to do something for our country? Government changes but the planned hospital is going to serve generations to come. Why do we let polarization overwhelm us to the extent that it undermines efforts to solve basic social problems? Why do we let our negative energy scare off people with good intentions? Would it ever be possible to bring about change and modernization with this cognitive orientation? No way! Unfortunately, We (Habeshas) are paralyzed by the powerful disintegrative forces of distrust, suspicion, lack of cooperation, and the zero sum game. Wake up people! We have a problem as a society! With this socio-psychological orientation, we won’t get anywhere. Let us try to be reasonable to criticize, have mutual respect and be optimistic for change. And, Elias,…..please do not write for the sake of writing and beware of defaming people without evidence. Hope you have learnt something from your recent experience.

Maqdella you and the Ethiopian peoples live in 2 different world one before the other one at the back of the moon ,80 millions Ethiopians are suffering under west assigned gulags (woyanne) and to collaborate with the enemy is a nation killing like Mellese Zenawi ancestors Shumbash Asres with Italians during the Italians kill about 1 million Ethiopians with an international forbidden poison gas and if you dont know that by noww you will never never now it again .There is no country called Ethiopia as long as woyanne exists period. and you dont need to accept my idea even though it is atleast 78 millions believe.
Immature Politics! Let us talk about issues not individuals. Too bad to see ER being this shoddy!
I know some of the doctors listed. They have everything-money, power, knowledge, fame etc.. that can make them stay in the US…and I am sure there are better investments in the US than pouring money in to a hospital in Ethiopia…If they chose to do that, they need to be encouraged and supported, not insulted….Elias you went overboard and saddened many of us who are your supporers…you could have communicated in a better way…
I am not a supporter of any political party to start with. I am a bit saddened by the article and the comments forewarded which radicule these professionals who are trying to unite Ethiopian physicians in the diaspora and do something to our poor country.
I dont think the writer have any evidence that all these people are affilated to the current regime. Even if we assume they are government cadres, what is wrong with building a hospital that can save lives of our poor family. I don’t think building a hospital is a contribution to a single political party rather to the people. I don’t think we can build a country by ridiculing all kind of endeavors.
Reading the article and the comments, it is difficult to find the role of a politically neutral person in the development of the country. It seems most people is assuming that all Ethiopians have to be politicians which is impractical.
Anyway my message is
To-Elias: As a journalist, please try to develop a habit of providing evidence based information. Otherwise it is difficult to attract audiences at least those who believes on evidences.
To-physicians- don’t get frustrated by the baseless accusations. This is the simplest and intial challenge u may face when u start a huge plan like this. Please don’t forget that u are working for the millions and u have their back.
For the rest- let’s develop a habit of appreciating constructive initiatives regardless of our political stands.

Wow,
I was contacted to join the group by many of my friends included in the list. I have not made my mind yet, reviewing the pros and cons. I have known 31 of them for more than 10 years or so (Went medical school with some of them , and did either residency or fellowship together).I have been talking to most of them in the last few months. They are good people, with no political affiliation to any particular group. What they have in mind is helping their people the only way ( for most) they know how. Honestly, they are not expecting any return from it. They want to help, that is it. If money was the motive, they could have invested in a more stable environment (west). Going back home for a minimum of 2 to 4 weeks to give service to the needy people is part of the agreement. It is mind boggling to see how some people portry those individuals as a monster ( on both sides). Hope the discussion will focus more on the issue than the individual.
Assuming you are a physician approached for a good cause, Please refrain from sharing any further information to everyone on this forum as both enemies and friends of Ethiopia visit this site. Can i ask u a question? How sure are u that 2 or 4 weeks service is part of the agreement? You are not even part of the MDs yet,follow them closely and make up ur mind, as for me i am excited that the CREAM OF THE CROPS are marching for the mother-land and MEHAYEM won’t STOP’em,mark my word!!

I think Elias is not considering the people. He is just overwhelmed by the crime of TPLF against the nation Ethiopia. And because of that Elias is dumping the beautiful babies with the bath water. He does not see the beautiful babies, he just see on the dirt or the corrupt and the most disgraceful Meles TPLF. The most corrupt organisation on the planet earth. That has disgrace the ancient Ethiopia.
I do agree with many of the concerns that how can one ally with TPLF which begged the entire world to landlock Ethiopia? that is a good question. Such questions very good and very valid. It is hard honestly to work anti Ethiopia organisation. Will TPLF allow them to build hospital? I doubt honeslty. Reason, simple, TPLF is an evil organisation that hates Ethiopians from day one. Is it TPLF which chased 40 Ethiopians Professors from Addis ababa University when they opposed the landlocking of Ethiopia? how can TPLF Meles now turn around 360 degree and tells it wants to stand for Ethiopia? I really under where some people are coming from. They legitimate questions. It is not their fault it is TPLF evil agenda that made them to reject and hate it.
TPLF is shipping teenage girls to Arabs to be raped and to be slaves. How is working with such wicked, immoral, evil, corrupt ,… organisation to help Ethiopia? how ? They country invaded by Indians, Arabs, Turkish, American, British,… and citizen shipped via Ethiopia airlines to become legalized 21 century slaves. I do not believe TPLF does not even have the good from day one to help people. It is feasible TPLF is wanted to sell everything to make money.
In general, according to me, it is better to clean the house before pouring money on the dirty house. I am saying this, even if the hospital is built, there is no system that can maintain highstand hospital. I do not believe building one hospital in an 90 million country is a big deal.
According to me, why not remove Meles and then we can chase all the Arab, indian, … and also take Aseb, Massawa back and mobilize the Entire Ethiopian diaspora to repatriate back home and work with high degree of motivation.
For me, Lalibela is my role model. Lalibela lived for 20 years in Israel and build Lalibela alone. One person only imagine? I do believe if we can clean house and put up an Ethiopians system where there is a rule of law, we can all go back and do play our parts.
My suggestions, why not demand change or unite to change the regime instead of gambling with hard earned money with a corrupted system. The country is not led by Ethiopians now. The King of Saudi Arabia has power on the issue of Ethiopia than Ethiopians. Meles is an alms man who has spent 25 years not in working with Ethiopians, but begging and harrassing his own citizen.
My ideas here:
1. Elia’s closed hate towards the doctors is not legitimate.
2. Now we better unite, not only the medical doctors, but the engineers, the nurses, …
3.I asked my brother last time, ” would not you go back home and serve the people for free? ” he said, ” if there was no corruption, nepotism,….” he said I can. What is missing in Ethiopia is not Ethiopian skill, the missing thing in Ethiopia is Ethiopia does not have leaders who love Ethiopia. What Ethiopia has is a Thief who sell everything for a penny. Working with a person has believed Ethiopia must be landlocked for 37 years now does not make sense. This person leave alone to develop he cannot even understand the importance of Ethiopia having its own natural port. However, this man has forced himself Ethiopia has to be landlocked and he lobbied the entire world to do that. Why is this person going to allow the doctors to build things they know?
4. Let us clean the house, then we can all go back and work day and night like Laliebela. I swear nothing is impossible we can do it.
5. The priories must be how to clean the house first and then indentify the problem variables and formulate a national solution. If pouring money could solve problems, Meles has been showered with billions of dollars in the past 24 years. However, money does not solve problem. Even Meles has built 20 year universities, but they are not better than high schools because every University graduate is leaving Ethiopia. An educated citizen must not leave the country if the system and the education system was right.
6. So first thing first, second thing second. Cleaning the corrupted system must come first before pouring money into the country. I respect the doctors very much. But they must not waste their money with people who does not caree about Ethiopians people. My argument TPLF has refused to listen to Ethiopians and has forced Ethiopians to pay close to 2 billion dollars each year? Poor Ethiopia? which makes less 1.5 billion foreign export earning by sellling coffee, sesame,… gives close to 2 billion dollars to buy ports from Djibouti, Kenya, Sudan while our ports are sitting idle? The doctors must think scientifically solving Ethiopians than only building one asset hospital.
I know a single doctor who has changed the entire South Africa. In 1997, A Swiss doctor went to Cape Town for tourism. He went to the black settlement area and where people under an unacceptle condition. He refused to go back to Swizerland. His friends and family members were with him and but they left him behind. What did they do? They sent him a tents. White South African never go to the black settlement leave alone to help them. He went into the deep black settlement. He pitched his tent and he put his medical equimment. What did he do? he started training the ordinary people immediately and he started working day and night treating the people. The tent he started become a fullfledged clinc. Then he did not stop there. He expanded his operation. H trained and even started employing doctors and he invaded the entire South African settlement with clincs and with other skill workshops. In every settlement he set up clincs, bread bakery, sowing working shops, trained community health services agents. One person transformed the lives of 45 million blacks in one two years. I do believe we can change Ethiopia if we unite. I do believe more than enough human resources to use. The missing element now is leadership. As such inorder make a big change in our country all of us, why we do not use unite the beggar Meles Zenawi and we all can work with 100% motivation with no fighting among each other? Pouring pure water on dirty water does not make the diry water pure. Pouring money to the dirty TPLF will make who ever work with it a dirt. Meles is a dirt who has love begging and who has no respect not only for the Ethiopian people, but also for the people who has made them die for freedom.
I ask Ethiopians to mobilize and unite to address national problem at all level. For how long are going to hear our citizens throwing themselves from skyscrapers from Lebanon, Arab countries? no this is not acceptable. We need change now and we can address our national problem. We cannot address our national problem while Meles is ruling our people by force only.
how many more years do you people think we should wait before we as ethiopians invest in our country? obviously you think 20 years is not long enough since you are not affected a bit! wait lets say weyane is over thrown in few years, what makes you sure another critic of the new government would not tell us the same thing you are telling us now 10-20 years from now ..and on and on and on…do you people understand at all??
Elias, it is very stupid of you that you are trying to intimidate people who are trying to contribute for the improvement of the health services of the poor people of Ethiopia. I don’t support the current regime and I am also a victim of it. But you have to realize that it is one thing to oppose the current regime and another thing to stand on the way of development. Ethiopians have never had a democratically elected government but that doesn’t mean we don’t deserve better health care till we get a democratic government. This mentality is what made Ethiopians to have no regard to the opposition.

Thank you, Mike. Good observation.
It is mazaing to see and observe that a person like Elias Kifle who calls himself Ethiopian (I have stopped believing so) is going so many extra miles and is doing all he can to wound his country and those who are trying to contribute in their contry’s developemnt. Elias Kifle, you are a sick person who needs immediate attention. You are using your medium not for a good cause but for destruction in the name of Woyane. I know you do not have any problem with the Woyanes, your problem is with the well being of our motherland.
These are lists of 70 dogs, not Doctors of Ethiopia origin. Most of them/95%) attended 6 years university in Ethiopia to obtain their MD Degree for free. The cost of tuition,lodging, provisions/food, etc could be estimated to be atleast Birr 90,000 per student per year. The cost to complete MD could be estimated to be Br 540,000 at the expense of Ethiopian people. Look these dogs are biting the people of Ethiopia. These Hodaders are the worst enemy of Ethiopia and the people of Ethiopia!! But there are repitition of names, why?

This is just stupid and irrational. If you believe they owe the Ethiopian people something, why are you then angry and insulting when they try to contribute. Girma Birru and the like don’t need the hospital to be built b/c they can access any facility available in the world, it is the poor people of Ethiopia that suffer from lack of good and quality health service. You guys think you have to oppose everything and this is simply stupid.
These doctors have been living confortable life abroad, but they didn’t feel the pain of our people. I have question Which is greater the people of Ethiopia dying from natural disease/the disease that you are trying to prevent/cure OR
Chronic terror from Woyane Junta? hunger b/s not receiving aid due to political inclination AND hunger b/s joblessness? The people killed by this cruel Meles’s regime at Ogaden, Gambela, Arba Gugu, Awassa, etc within a day???
What is our priority now, a priority for freedom and save Ethiopia from destruction by Woyane Junta or talking about your medicine a propaganda tool for Woyane Junta? What is the response to the prevailing situations in Ethiopia, U doctors if you go Afars, Southern regions, Gambella, etc you will not get those Amara, Afar, Agnauaks peasants at their living/homes b/s they have been forcifully displaced by Meles…..If you collaborate with Woyane, you will be equally accountable for genocide crime with Banda Meles, the son of Banda Basha Bisrat!!!!! U doctors, do u able to analyse/observe the political and economic sitions in Ethiopia? No you couldn’t. That is why you are just doctors by name, I remember a respected intectual how he was trying to describe ….doctors……..
V for the people of Ethiopia!!!
You all are heros of computer screen. Each of you know it well why you left your country regardless of the type of the job you took up in the west. I do not think somebody with reasonable work schedule has got time to spit political poison against people with good will to serve their people. Do not forget that you are just ‘computer screen hero’ to write all bad things while your brain is empty. You know that in your deep inside you are useless with no particular goal in life but put obstacle when you see somebody is heading to benefit his/her people. You might think that you may bring political change by sitting in front of computer screen. No way, change comes with working, not by barking.
