Despite the ruling Woyanne junta’s grave warning, tens of thousands of Ethiopian Muslims gathered in Addis Ababa today in what they called “Sadaqa and Unity Program.” The unity gathering took place at the Anwar Mosque in Addis Ababa without any major incident. The reason that there was no violent confrontation today is because the Woyanne security forces left the area.
Last Friday, when the Woyanne Federal Police tried to stop the Muslims from gather peacefully at Awolia College, it resulted in a violent confrontation where the police opened fired on the unarmed civilians causing numerous casualties.
Ethiopian Muslims are protesting the Woyanne regime’s intervention in their religion.

It is time for Ethiopian Muslims come out of the closet and call this anti government protest instead of Muslim right protest. I t is like saying we don’t care what ever happens to the country as long as we Muslims get what demanded what ever their demand is. Man up Muslims and Christians in Ethiopia, demand regime change.

What did Jihadist Islam bring to Somalia, Iraq, Sudan … Yemen? Sooner or later too, Islam will destroy Saudi Arabia. Political Islam lives and dies in war. It destroyed every culture, language and custom. All languages in north Sudan, Moroco, Algeria, Syria, Iraq … are dead and destroyed. It is a belief system that promotes Arabism in the name of religion.
Agree 1000% with: “Meles has let in the Wahabists and Jihadists for his political use to alienate the Amharas and Oromos. The wahabists are ones again not at the gates, but they are inside Ethiopia now.
The last time, the Jihadists were inside Ethiopia was in 1535, when the young negus Lebne Dingle underestimated the destructive sultan of Adal Ahmad Gragn who almost destroyed Ethiopia, had the Portuguese not send aid at the last hour.
To be fair, Issaias Afeworki is the best person in dealing with Jihadists as Sadam Hussien and Gadafi were.
If this continues unchecked, Ethiopia may be destroyed like never before. The Weyanes have only themselves to blame. If the do not want to live with Amharas and Oromos, let them deal with the Wahabist Jihadists.
Islam only brings destruction, nothing good comes out from political Islam. See Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, Sudan … Syria.”

I agree to disagree. I don’t want to discuss religion here. That is just failing in the trap which the current regime set up. They want us to dwell into tribal and religious differences. The point I am trying to make here is, we should not be selective when we demand our rights like the Ethiopian Muslims doing now. If I am not wrong, they are demanding rights that are related to their religion and religious leaders. United with all Ethiopians, their demand should be regime change so that all rights in Ethiopia, within which their religious right is included, will be respected,
Let it be clear that this is the beginning. Federal Police should know that the world is witnessing a Muslims awakening that follows Arab ‘spring. Muslim Ethiopians remained very rusty and ignorant until now but recently they are changing as can be seen that most of the Engineers in
Addis Ababa University are 80% Muslims in civil Engineering.
If Meles tries to outsmart them he will face defeat. What Muslims are saying is let people choose their religious leaders. The same principle will apply to Meles’s fake election soon. What Meles does not like is once he loses his turf in Mejlis people will come next to free election of politicians. But that is not the only task for Muslims, christians need to push for free election of political leaders. For now, Muslims are demanding to own their own spiritual life. If this is not possible, Meles will be beheaded soon.
Woyane ,
We told you long ago, now you have become a rat that get caught when it try to eat. I do not symapathize if they cut your head in addis ababa. I hope to see them doing that. I begged, begged, you got blinded by money. Greed is evil and greed can lead u to lose your life. You refused, while you are putting in prison citizens you gave freed ride of the country to the barbaric arabs.I want to see them cutting your heads in addis, many concerned Ethiopians voiced long ago, but you have inflated with arrogance, ignorance and engaged doling out our land to the most primitive on earth exchange for me. Let the money now save you? you are evil to our people. I hope they will cut your head so that other Ethiopians to the cry of their citizens in the future. You compared the Ethiopian church to this evil Wahabits? The bible says, arrogance, ignorance comes before downfall. You are not any a government, Islam is riding the law and constitution now. There is no law anymore to talk about. People can go out under the pretext of their Alla and create anarchy. Good luck stupid Meles TPLF. You have been fishing fishes from the wrong lake and river. I do not think you will even understand even now. Shame on you, we told you to stop underming our church, you did it into two and you undermined it and now you have exposed the Ethiopian to an imminent danger. Woyane Meles = selfish = evil = stupid, ignorant.
Our Mouslim brothers way smarter than the opposition. They kept it their demonstration so peaceful.

NebuchadNezzar 2 is in Ethiopia. When the Israelites breached the covenants of Moses, God said: I banish from the promised land and I will be subservients of the foreign gods( watch gods). God brought in Nebuchadnezzar from Babylon.NubchadNezzar set on fire Jerusalem. He put to the sword the ordinaries. He took captive the elite to Babylon. He told them you stay there for 70 years and I will bring back the remnants. After 70 years God inspired Ezra and Nehemah the restorer of the state of Isralite. After 70 years in Insrael, Ezra and Nehemah were charged with rebuilding Israel.
Now Nebuchadnezzar is in Ethiopia. We do not know what Nebuchadnezzar will do to the Ethiopians. The people of Ethiopia are alreadly captives of the one who disobeyed God because he thought is above anything on earth. Nebuchadnezzar 1 is sick and now NebuchadNezzar 2 is in Ethiopia. Nebuchadnezzar 1 was preparing everything Nebuchadnezzar 2. Now Nebuchadnezzar 1 has left. Nebuchadnezzar was busy allocating land to Nebuchadnezzar 2 and he was also shipping teenage ( gubel ) Ethiopian girls for sex pleasure to Nebuchadnezzar 2. Nebuchadnezzar 2 is not happpy with the land given to him, and with the number of teenage girls shipped to him. he wanted more, he wanted Ethiopia all in all. yea, the green land, the fertile land, the best climate on earth, the beautiful people with no shepherd but the beautiful under Nebuchadnezzar 1 who is ready to sell them to anyone for any amount of money. He can sell anything, land, national assets, girls, who cares, who can ask him? who can stop him? no one, except Nebuchadnezzar 2. If Nebuchadnezzar 1 ever survives, will he chase Nebuchadnezzar 2? no ways, Nebuchadnezzar only need money, he has enough and Nebuchadnezzar 2 is now in control. This is Gods design, this does mean this good for Berhanu Nega or Elias Kiflie,,.. yefukure bet sayzega yaderal, yegerachan mslaie ewnet lay yetemeserte new. yefukukure bet siay zega yadreal. good luck uncolonized people, keep on dancing Gonderignea, Tigrignea, Amarignea, Oromignea, Guragignea, Harirignea,… keep on dancing and Nebuchadnezzar 2 will take it that away very soon. you will pray 5 times a day sooon. good luck phds, masters, degrees, good all of you, Shame on you, shameful. you are handing yourself to self desrtuction; I hope God fulfil your desire of self-infliction. God make the taste the sweet fruit of islam. Let Woayne, Elias, Berhanu Nega, Shawl, all, drink the wahabist wine. get drunk and enjoy the new wine. Enjoy the new wine from the Meka, enjoy woyane , you have the money now, you can wine from the desert of Arabia peninsula, you got right, we are non-sense, extremist.
Because Obang Metho preached reconciliation, and a stop giving land to Arabs, he is meted for 18 years? can you believe Obang Metho the prince of peace, love judged to be in imprison for 18 years? really? woyane Meles got crazy, out of control and wisdom. Instead of litening, putting people to prison.
