President Obama should acknowledge the role that independent news reporting plays in assessing agricultural challenges and facilitating the response to famine, the Committee to Protect Journalists stated in a letter to the White House. Ethiopia in particular downplays the extent of food crises and undermines the ability of donor nations and aid groups to help by denying journalists access to sensitive areas and censoring independent coverage. Read the full letter.

zenawi has been having countless number of meetings to discuss food aid with G8 and others, and yet no amount of food that he begs and gets at every meeting seems to be adequate. G8 should ask where is all the aid going. is it sustainable to keep Ethiopia on food aid perpetually? or do western aid agencies and governments have an agenda by making Ethiopia dependent on food aid.
Zenawi is willing to appear at this meetings with his begging bowl, and is not ashamed of it year after year, and even complains that the food shortages were caused by the donors not supplying enough of their quota to keep the starving in Ethiopia fed.
The food aid agenda has been a thriving business for zenawi and the TPLF politbureau. Emaciated children with their rib bones sticking out, and little children with blotted belly and bulging eyes suffering from severe malnutrition and starvation has become a symbol of Ethiopia and a means for begging for the woyane. this is what the west do not want to know. The aid business is there to perpetuate more aid and not to eliminate hunger and famine.
This is what I’m talking about!
The voiceless and defenseless Ethiopians who are being muzzled and abused by TPLF regime as we speak, need more people like Mr. Joel Simon to speak loudly in behalf of them. In behalf of my fellow Ethiopians at home, I thank you, Mr. Joel Simon! God bless you and all your loved ones for being the voice for the voiceless!
The very man that is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands innocent Ethiopians for the last 22 years, Meles has zero conscience if Ethiopians have enough food or die of starvation. In fact, it is cheaper for Meles if Ethiopians die of food shortage than his army use bullets or bombs to kill Ethiopians. It will be a great shame and history will judge President Obama, if the president ignores the information that is given to him on Meles, and shake the bloody hand of a dictator, that is responsible for the deaths of countless number of innocent Ethiopians.

Remarks by the President at the Signing of the Freedom of the Press Act
Oval Office
11:32 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Well, hello, everybody. I am very proud to be able to sign the Daniel Pearl Freedom of the Press Act, a piece of legislation that sends a strong signal about our core values when it comes to the freedom of the press.
All around the world there are enormously courageous journalists and bloggers who, at great risk to themselves, are trying to shine a light on the critical issues that the people of their country face; who are the frontlines against tyranny and oppression. And obviously the loss of Daniel Pearl was one of those moments that captured the world’s imagination because it reminded us of how valuable a free press is, and it reminded us that there are those who would go to any length in order to silence journalists around the world.
What this act does is it sends a strong message from the United States government and from the State Department that we are paying attention to how other governments are operating when it comes to the press. It has the State Department each year chronicling how press freedom is operating as one component of our human rights assessment, but it also looks at countries that are — governments that are specifically condoning or facilitating this kind of press repression, singles them out and subjects them to the gaze of world opinion in ways that I think are extraordinarily important.
Oftentimes without this kind of attention, countries and governments feel that they can operate against the press with impunity. And we want to send a message that they can’t.
So this legislation, in a very modest way, I think puts us clearly on the side of journalistic freedom. I want to thank Adam Schiff in the House and Senator Chris Dodd in the Senate for their leadership. And I particularly want to thank the Pearl family, who have been so outspoken and so courageous in sending a clear message that, despite Daniel’s death, his vision of a well-informed citizenry that is able to make choices and hold governments accountable, that that legacy lives on.
So we are very grateful to them. I’m grateful to the legislative leaders who helped to pass this. It is something that I intend to make sure our State Department carries out with vigor. And with that, I’m going to sign the bill.

Is the End of American Dominance the Same as American Decline?
Posted by Evan Osnos The New Yorker
In November, 1975, the world’s leading industrial powers were staggering through a crisis beyond their control: The price of oil had more than quadrupled since OPEC imposed an embargo two years earlier. In the United States, unemployment had doubled. In Japan, the economy was shrinking for the first time since the Second World War. Communism was sweeping through Greece and Spain. In desperation, leaders of six large democracies—the United States, Britain, Japan, West Germany, France, and Italy—resolved to meet at the Château de Rambouillet, a castle that had been Louis XIV’s hunting lodge. They worked with no charter, no rules for membership, and no powers of enforcement. The results were vague, but one of the most enthusiastic supporters of this gathering of nations was Henry Kissinger, who declared that it would “give their peoples the sense that they are masters of their destiny, that they are not subject to blind forces beyond their control.” They called themselves the Group of Six—or G6. By 1999, it was the G8, having added Canada and Russia, and though it had been credited with raising alarms about threats including genocide in Kosovo, the forum was now dogged by protesters and pilloried as a “closed club of an obsolescent rich white plutocracy” and a “global hot tub party.” In his 2003 book, “The Age of Consent,” George Monbiot, the British writer and activist, wrote, “We are left to shout abuse, to hurl ourselves against the lines of police, to seek to smash the fences which stand between us and the decisions made on our behalf.” And yet, for all the abuse heaped on the G-model, it may turn out that the only thing more unsettling than a cabal of politicians meeting behind closed doors is a cabal of politicians who can’t agree to meet at all. That’s what we can expect this week at Camp David, when it’s America’s turn to host the G8. With urgent negotiations pending on Iran and Syria, the meeting has been undermined before it begins by Vladimir Putin’s decision to stay home, the first time a Russian President has done so. (The Kremlin said Putin could make better use of his time by finalizing his cabinet appointments.) Other forums for global leadership are ailing as well. The G20, which was created to make room for China, India, and other rising powers, helped stem the damage from the 2008 financial crisis, but subsequent meetings have yielded little, and the group is so sharply divided over basic political and economic values that summits have descended, in the view of the political scientist Ian Bremmer, into a herding of cats—“together with animals that don’t like cats.” In “Every Nation for Itself: Winners and Losers in a G-Zero World,” Bremmer, the president of the political-risk consultancy firm Eurasia Group, maps the present and future of a “world order in which no single country or durable alliance of countries can meet the challenges of global leadership.” Bremmer, who publishes articles and books at a pace with which some others tweet, is a non-partisan presence in the commentariat, known for his writings on how global emerging markets upset established political and corporate rhythms. A book dedicated to criticizing the G-format would be about as likely to encounter spirited opposition as a denunciation of the Department of Motor Vehicles. But Bremmer’s “G-Zero” has a larger target: that giant sucking sound in geopolitics, the power-vacuum created by the end of the Cold War, the weight of debt and deficits around the neck of the United States, and a cluster of new powers not yet prepared to police an open and stable international system. “For the first time in seven decades, we live in a world without global leadership,” Bremmer writes. The G-Zero may only last for a decade or so, but in that time, he warns, it will be “an incubator of catastrophe.” This is not an uplifting book; it reads like the geopolitical equivalent of a virus movie, which means it’s unsettling precisely because it’s plausible. Here are some of the “problems without borders” that he envisions: an influenza epidemic ravages the globe because of poor coördination and national secrecy; North Korea implodes, setting off a fight over who will safeguard the nuclear program and care for refugees; terrorists bring down airplanes because countries no longer agree on uniform standards for screening passengers and cargo; wars rage over contested sources of increasingly scarce water and food. If that all sounds a bit too much like political sci-fi, consider some recent attempts at international coöperation. Bremmer gives a brisk recounting of the climate summit in Copenhagen in December, 2009, which Gordon Brown had hailed as “the most important conference since the Second World War.” By the time it was over, China’s Premier had withdrawn in anger to his hotel suite and sent a midlevel diplomat to negotiate with President Obama; the President of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed, had demanded of China how it could ask his country to “go extinct”; and Hugo Chávez had called Obama the devil. The summit collapsed not only because the players came from increasingly divergent positions but also because none of them had the power to impose a solution. (Meanwhile, in the years since, little progress has been made in the fractious debate over whether countries in the developing world should be held to the same emissions standards as industrialized ones, and the U.S. still refuses to sign the Kyoto protocol.) Bremmer, who road-tested the idea of the G-Zero last year in Foreign Affairs, in an essay co-authored with the economist Nouriel Roubini, has written or co-written four books in the past five years, including, most recently, “The End of the Free Market: Who Wins the War Between States and Corporations?” In this case, he says, “the G-Zero won’t last forever,” but while it exists he’s content to sort the winners and losers. He’s betting on countries and corporations that maintain the widest range of potential allies, including “pivot states”—Turkey, Mongolia, Brazil, and so on—that have maintained relations with a range of big powers. Losers, we’re told, will be those who depend too heavily on American protection—so long, Japan and Taiwan!—and “shadow states,” such as Mexico and Ukraine, which cling, suckerfish-like, to the fortunes of larger neighbors. Above all, the author is unsentimental. “Winners accept the world as it is,” he writes, and predicts that “banks, hedge funds, and private equity funds will shift their operations toward emerging-market states to avoid global and Western regulatory reforms.” If China’s new dominance in Africa arouses protests, there is “no reason why Western-based companies can’t exploit these vulnerabilities and compete more effectively with Chinese companies.” In a G-Zero world, he concludes, “it is economic muscle, not military might, that determines the international balance of power.” But that view may understate some ingredients and overstate others. Take China. Despite signs of an economic slowdown in recent months, China’s government has more economic verve than any other major power, but this has failed to make up for its persistent deficit in diplomatic and political charm. For all of China’s market appeal and manufacturing power, it has lost out on some minor but telling measures of influence, such as the international adoption of China’s 3G phone standard or its version of Wi-Fi, called WAPI. Economic might alone has also proved to be a fragile basis for friendship. Bremmer writes of Burma, “Fortunately for the ruling junta, China, India, and others want continued access to Myanmar’s substantial deposits of natural gas, and China has built a major new oil and gas pipeline linking the two countries.” But by the time the book came out, Burma’s leaders had tacked sharply away from China, toward the United States, a curveball that is addressed in a footnote. Burmese officials have said that they chafed under Beijing’s blunt-force efforts to built a dam in Burma that locals roundly opposed, and other officials in Rangoon say they were impressed by Obama’s offer to extend a hand to regimes “willing to unclench your fist.” The notion of a G-Zero world is linked with the notion that America is in decline, a suggestion that sends a certain kind of patriot into orbit. That’s why Rush Limbaugh recently lumped Bremmer’s book into a “declinist” genre alongside “Strategic Vision: America and the Crisis of Global Power” by Zbigniew Brzezinski. Improvising on recurring theme from Mitt Romney’s campaign, Limbaugh said,
What Obama wants—folks, this is crucially important now. Look at me. What Obama and the Democrats want you to believe is that we are in structural decline because of the failure of capitalism. We’re not. We are in decline because of Obamaism. We are in decline because Obama is shrinking the private sector. We are in decline because Obama is spending us into debt. He is taxing us into debt. He is taxing everybody into mediocrity.
How, exactly, is one to respond? Obama has resorted, at times, to outflanking Romney on boosterism. “Anyone who tells you that America is in decline,” he said, in the State of the Union, “or that our influence has waned, doesn’t know what they’re talking about.” By the same token, if Bremmer doesn’t want to get pigeonholed, he has little choice but to strenuously reject the declinist label, even as he is describing a “world without leaders.” His final, prescriptive chapter pays homage to America’s advantages—mainly, military might and democratic, entrepreneurial values—but his more persuasive point is simply that power is relative: if the world descends into a barroom brawl, the United States will still be the largest, strongest drunk in the joint. If Bremmer really was, in fact, determined to write about America’s decline, he wouldn’t have stopped there. He would have pointed to facts that have nothing to do with China or the G8: the fact that America now has greater income inequality than any other nation in the developed world; that infant mortality and primary-school enrollment and life expectancy in America now trail those of other major democracies; that the United States has the highest published per capita rate of incarceration in the world. He would have pointed out that the greatest danger to America’s supremacy doesn’t come from those who dare to discuss it.

FOODS THAT HEAL: Food of the month: teff
Perhaps more common amongst ethnic groups, it’s only a matter of time before teff gains the widespread notoriety it deserves for its slightly sweet, nutty taste and impressive nutritional profile.
Originating from Ethiopia, teff is considered the tiniest grain in the world. But don’t let its size fool you – this small grain in rich in many essential nutrients, including dietary fibre, protein, iron, calcium and amino acids.
Eating foods that are high in fibre, like teff, will help maintain proper bowel health and functioning. Fibre also helps to control blood sugar as it slows the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream, meaning it’s beneficial in the management of diabetes. This slower digestion also helps you feel full longer, thus aiding in weight maintenance.
The above thing was perplexed by nazret.com, a stalker, a vandal, a plagiarizer, one stupid[special interest] asshole, crazy neger, Guest HOuse evader, peddler, Walmart and Dominos Pizza. The ring?? The asame opportunists loke that red dressed press opportunist, and many assholes who ride on scrutinized citizens like Elias. They oplagiarize and Belay their own brothers. Bribe??N Kind??? That thing! That important Thing. Sing it! Shopping eagles??Peeeehhhh…??Busted insight and liberty!
What Ethiopians don’t know is that why Empires exist. They exist for its survival from others. U.S will do anything to do that and in fact no more democracy in order to compete in the global economy against China. TPLF has been groomed very well because of this that they should fetch for their own selves for mighty domination and act like mini empire. It is indeed on its way of being mini empire. Don’t even bring up feualism of the last era compared to today. Why its success, because that is part of the grooming and education that to choose few groups who will work hard to accomplish this. When a group has more common values, its success rate is quite high. They will be too strong to dived, as we Ethiopians have been divided, too strong to be infiltrated. That is exactly why when TPLF took power, to work for only one group only and only one and that is Tigray. Because such experiences have worked very well in the past. TPLF only has one protector to go ahead the mighty domination of Ethiopia and possible domination of the horn of Africa. TPLF has now the capability to control Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and South Sudan with its backers to form the Axumite empire. Their bet to go it alone is 100% on their backers. They can do it if they have life time partners as it has heard that there is 99 year contract signed with TPLF to be in power. They are in fact the strongest they have ever been. IF they are not, just in case, they know they have destory the people of Ethiopia, that is why, TPLF is implementing their backer’s agenda. Create problem first the there will reaction from the opposite group then they provide solution and justification for action thus illimanting their enemies. The recent Muslim uprising is a test, if plans don’t work to start religion war then they will get more military aid even further making them almighty. This religious war however is dangerous game. Rather it will weaken the Christian power in Ethiopia realizing that although Muslims might mean well, they will not see their empowerment and their solidarity and demand more. They also have to fear if they increase their movement just in case West might be interested enough to curb Muslim hegemony in Ethiopia, so far, the West has shown its solidarity with Islam in Ethiopia via the acts of TPLF and Alamoudi.
CPJ’s appeal to Obama on behalf of Ethiopian jornalists is commendable.I don’t believe if the president of ‘free world’ will respond favorably to the call CPJ.Mr.Obama has been elected to office mostly because of the white vote.It is to be noted his very carfully crfted campaign slogan change rung in the hearts of Americans then.I elieve ,partly due to this appeal to the young Americans he was voted to the office.However, what little we knew then is the fact according to some political observers that Mr.Obama ,like other presidents before him, must have been groomed way inadvance by friends in high places.Just google under “who groomed Obama top the presidencey”and you willcome up with some answers as in the following.
http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message845754/pg1
If these friendes ae the ones who make and break presidency,would it not be reasonable to assume they are also the guys who might pursuing after a special interest.Speaking of interest the single most important interest in current politcs is concept of Globalism which is avehicle for one world government. When it comes to Ethiopia the global masters have alredy made huge stride in controling the population.U.N and its affilates are hugly represented in the country,and they have acheived theior goal of social engeneering in the country. The so called oppostion leaders in many cases are are far behind than the rank and file members .As a result,leaders failed to copmpherend the magnitude of the situation that is taking place in the country.this is evidenced by their writings as they attempet to communicate ideas they pick up from main stream media.
DIASPORA AFRICANS NEVER GET IT
The believe that USA, be it under the Republicans or those of Democrats, cares for democracy particularly in Ethiopia, and generally in Africa has been entertained by , unfortunately, the diasporas Africans. It is more so to think as such during the current administration of USA under Mr Obama. I guess this is because he is seen as someone who could care for Africa because of his Kanyan heritage and the fact that he sweet talked all the way to power leaving many with a new hope.
What are missing here are the rationales in terms of looking at USA for what it was, is and probably will be for a long time to come.
If we have to take Ethiopia as an example, I would strongly believe that USA has no intentions or plans for Democracy for that nation unless when it is into its interest. If democracy is into its (USA) national interest, then it will consider supporting it. Unfortunately, that is not the case when it comes to the Ethiopia of today. Its interest has been entertained with or without democracy in place.
Sadly, the Diaspora continues to believe that Mr. Obama’s America will help democracy flourish in Ethiopia. Mr. Obama is one person who represents the interest of his party which in return represents the interest of Corporate America. Unfortunately, many perceive that the Democrats of USA are more humanitarian than their Republican counterpart. It should be remembered that it is under the order of a Democratic President, Harry Truman that the Atomic bomb was thrown over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, where over 200 thousands of children, women and the elderly perished within seconds after the bomb was thrown. People who live in the area have been suffering from the A-bomb effect to this day. Many continue to be born with deformed body parts until today, over 45 years after the first bomb was thrown over Japan, which was August 6, 1945.
After all, Meles’ Ethiopia can be said is the invention of USA partly by both the Republicans and the Democrats. The coming of Revolution to Ethiopia during the early 80s, deposing the king, was a major concern to the Americans. This was not because of it was a revolution, but it was duet its nature. It was a socialist Revolution by any standard. The main players were, in one hand EPRP (Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Party), and on the other DERG (military junta supported by the former Soviet Union and responsible for murdering over one hundred thousand Ethiopians, mainly students). Each claimed to be a true Marxist Revolutionary.
This new reality became a concern, especially, to the late William Casey, the head of CIA during the Regan administration who formulated number of covert operations. While half of these operations were to take place in Middle East and South America, the other half were to take place in Africa. One such operation was in Ethiopia: to get rid of the socialist revolution. While Derg was their main target, EPRP was also a paramount interest. Military and material aids to TPLF and EPLF, to some extent to EDU, were provided in order to fight Mengistu’ regime. On the other hand USA provided unconditional asylum to the fleeing members of EPRP after they were attacked by Derg in one front and TPLF on the other. Yes, we can say TPLF and DERG worked together to purge EPRP out of its stronghold in Asimba , mountainous region in Tigray and eventually out of Ethiopia. This is not to deny the fact that the frictions within the party also had contributed to its downfall. The reader must take a note that USA was well aware of the fact that EPRP was a Marxist organization, yet it announced at its Djibouti, Sudan and Somalia’s embassies that it gave asylum priority to the members of EPRP. Then one may ask why offer them asylum to come to America knowing that they were Marxist? It was because the departure of EPRP out of Ethiopia would speed up and guarantee the coming of TPLF and EPLF to power. After all these members would be dissolved into the vast American society, which was what happened, as such their being Marxist was not a threat to American society or government. This, by any means, did not mean that TPLF and EPLF did not have some Marxist form or shape.
I think there was, to some extent, an attraction to it (Marxism) so long as it helped promote their agenda, which was secession and self determination for EPLF and TPLF respectively. Yes there was a talk of Greater Tigray. I have not seen any evidence other than claims made by some former disgruntled TPLF members and Ethiopian oppositions to the current government. I looked at TPLF’s programs in the past. There, I did not find anything that supports this theory of Greater Tigray. It will remain heresy until someone provides evidence.
In terms of my theory of USA being the master designer of today’s Ethiopia, I came across another theory which supports mine, except it differs when it comes to answering the question ‘why’. Ato Tekle Yeshaw, theoretician/historian and Amhara nationalist whom I find intriguing, outlined that Western Powers who were threatened by the long unity and independence of Ethiopia; created or made use of organizations/groups such as Ethiopian Student movement, EPLF and TPLF to do their dirty work. He provides that, through these groups, the Westerns were able to destroy the institutions that made Ethiopia what it was: the Crown, Ethiopian Orthodox Church and Amharic-speaking pro Ethiopian unity “patriotic population of the country namely Amahras”. I have my reservation when it comes to his claim that these institutions were what united Ethiopia. This is a matter to be explored or debated another time.
This theory of so-called western attempt to destroy Ethiopian unity could be valid if it had to happen at the time when the Western world was engaged in its colonial adventure. Even in this regard we still may ask, “Why then Americans and the Brits supported Ethiopia liberate itself from Mussolini while they could just replace Italy’s power with their own and continue the occupation of Ethiopia?”
There are number of answers to this question including USA’s interest in playing more Neo-Colonialist role in Africa, which I believe is the most proper answer to our question. There is also the coming of the Communist bloc which challenged the traditional western imperialistic powers after WW II. This new bloc latter played a very crucial part in terms of helping the collective upraising of most so-called third world countries against their colonial masters.
This reality, one may say, had forced the western world, especially that of USA to consider a different approach in regard to continuing its neo colonialist agenda in third world countries, especially right after the election of Ronald Regan as 40th president of Unites States of America. I wrote in detail in this regard in my response to Meles’ regimes denial of its food for vote corruption. Please, see link to the article at the bottom.
Despite its continuous claim for love of Democracy for the so-called third world countries, by its own public acknowledgment, USA would only do so if it serves its national interest. Its current support of Meles’s regime is also in regard to its (USA) interest. While USA’s interest varies in Ethiopia or the region, its priority is what it calls ‘anti-terrorism’ campaign in East Africa. Meles’ regime happened to be the most able and willing to promote America’s interest better than anyone in the region. The readers should note that Meles’ regime didn’t only go and fought against Al-Shabab in behalf of USA; it created the Islamist group by denying the right to exist to the then newly created Islamic Council of Somalia, in pretext that there was one former Al-Ithad member within the group.
After all, USA breast feed TPLF since its infancy, or I should say since it found out that EDU couldn’t continue as an entity to bring the downfall of DERG. Needless to say TPLF became an important force to replace EDU, an organization consisting remnants of Ethiopia’s feudal officials. But this does not mean, again, that TPLF is governing Ethiopia in behalf of USA. I think it is using the US as much as it is being used by it. TPLF is a pragmatic organization which has its own short and long term plans/goals. The party clearly understands that if it has to implement its programs, it must hold on to power, as such it will count on any force, be it that of local or foreign. I don’t believe in the opposition’s claim that TPLF is just one narrow nationalistic organization that is trying to bring the superiority of Tigray Ethnic group over the rest of Ethiopia. If that is the case, then we will have to answer number of questions such as, why did it eliminated the entire leadership of the former group which preexisted its own in Tigray region? I am talking about TLF (Tigray Liberation Front) whose leadership was slaughtered while sleeping by the new arriving, from Eritrea, members of TPLF who joined the former earlier with claim of having a common goal. Why do they have to kill their own Tigrayan brothers, considering the fact that they (TLF) too stood for the same cause? As a matter of fact TLF’s leadership was said to be more radical and nationalistic than the latter one, TPLF. We can continue by asking, why it went to war with Eritrea, while it (Eritrea) supposed to be part of this “Greater Tigray”. Why build all types of infrastructures throughout the country if its aim is to, eventually, secede from the rest of the country to form its dream kingdom, Greater Tigray? I can go own with similar questions and I am sure the readers too may have their own.
Whatever is hidden behind our questions, or answers for that matter, one thing is clear: USA is part of the problem, not solution. As such the opposition should stop crying to the USA for help, which will never come unless Meles happens to have change of heart about being a friend to the American Imperialism. Ethiopian, or African, problem has to be solved within our country and continent respectively. Whether we have to sit around a table to work out our problem or go to war, both the problem and the solutions are within ourselves. What we are dealing with is not a Tigray problem or Amhara problem or Oromo problem; or etc. It is our collective problem, an African problem. We must bring ourselves out of this thinking of this ethnic or that ethnic group. That is too backward. We came a long way to think in terms of ethnicity. Come on guys, it has been almost 40 years since the Ethiopian Revolution. We are supposed to be ahead of where we stand today.
