Several Ethiopian media organizations have recently called for boycott of Ethiopian Airlines as part of the civil resistance campaign against the genocidal junta in Ethiopia. To those of you who are asking for an alternative, here is an answer for you. Emirates Airlines has just announced that it is slashing its fares for Ethiopian passengers. So if you care to punish the Woyanne junta for the atrocities it is committing against the people of Ethiopia, and at the same time save some money, when you fly to Ethiopia next time, use Emirates Airlines.

This is my second attempt to post my comment on this website.
dear elias,
This promotional material best applies to Eri-terrans, who do not have a national flag carrier.
This guy is losing his mind…..think twice before u post! Please try to look a better way. This doesn’t bring you acceptance in our community, change the game dude!
Ethiopians are victims of the current brutal hwahatt regime, and right way to respond to this unending suppression and oppression is to multiply our effort and bring Meles Zinawi’s regime to the finish.Cut off the oxygine to the regime’s life.Lead mafia,Meles Zinawi,while his orginal plan failed,he is now on desperate attempt to repeat the same blunder and deceive he has mastered for 21 years.This man can not be trusted with anything,and would always run around the bush when pressured.Meles,being the head of the multimillion dollar family owned EFFORT,founded and run by a group of mafia in the crimefamily has been exempted from tax,and has become the sole giant sucker of everything and anything that is available below and above the lands in Ehtiopia.Our people and country will never be safe while the criminals are illegally ruling the country.Therefore,our sesponse is to fight the mafias both individually and collectively.We don’t buy anything,any goods produced in companies and manufacturing industries owned by the crimefamlies,and will boycott any services furnishes by any organization or corporate,ro business conglomerates that are directly or indirectly controlled and owned.
Elias AKA “The living band”
I am enjoying your desperate act., Like recycling hate mongering BS over and over.
Here are some facts that your evil dream is not going to come true.
1)90% of EAL customers are none Ethiopian!
2)out of the 10% , the neftegna are less than 0.01%
3) these less than 0.01% neftegna, either they will NEVER see Ethiopia for the rest of their lives, they can’t afford to visit Ethiopia or they can’t resist the EAL Dream-liner!!!

Virginia Ethio-Americans in 2012 Presidential Election!
Economic boycotting requires strong co-ordination with follow up. It is a high time for us to focus in the up-coming presidential election. Ethio-Americans in Virginia should send clear message to the state level office of 2012 Obama-Biden Campaign Office. Ethio-Americans in Virginia like Cuban-Americans in Florida can influence the foreign policy of the White House towards Ethiopia. You don’t have to rally in front of the White House or State Department when ever a journalist or politician is jailed by Meles. We have to send clear message to the candidates. Let’s take action. It’s only when they realize the role of Ethiopians in County,State and National level that they will respect us.
Can you imagine someone like Elias taking power in Ethiopia? It would be a complete …

You, who is using similar user name as me, is most probably an Eritrean. It is only the Eritreans who refer to Amharas as Ahya. Get a life you are not Ethiopian, you have nothing to do with us. Get lost…go to your Eritrea and correct your own sickness.

Meles told the participants of the forum comprising 200 international corporate CEOs and 200 local business leaders that there are investment opportunities in the extractive industry including oil exploration while pointing his hand at Tewodros Ashenafi, Founder, Chairman and CEO of South West Energy (HK) Ltd, the first Ethiopian oil and gas exploration company, and saying “Tewodros will be the bearer of the good news.”
How abott the KOrke? Were they would go wen thos oil feelds wow? THis was spotted practicing sabotage because Sieraleone and Liberia were failed states and ee’ cood not lie that ee’ is ethiopian as per the scale[salary] of chosen butchers.

Chuchu,
Shame on you…
Let Ethiopia march forward under the leadership of our intelligent and visionary PM while the dogs bark and the donkeys bray thinking they would hinder its prosperity.
I feel sorry for you guys – You have been pushed away from your palace and ended up in your current and permanent position of barking and braying for your entire life
Mr., so called Pro-TPLF
Your comment does not represent most of us who are both sides of the political spectrum.
Eventhough I dislike the Meles regime, I am unable to book through Ethiopian Airlines to bring my family to the USA because all the bookings in the summer is full. I don’t get the boycott idea and the Emirate winning!
I create a comment when I appreciate a article on a site
or if I have something to contribute to the discussion. It
is triggered by the passion displayed in the article I read.
And after this article Emirates takes advantage of boycott against Ethiopian Airlines
