Azeb Mesfin banned from leaving Ethiopia

Posted on , Updated on by Elias Kifle

Azeb MesfinThe Ethiopian Review Intelligence Unit has learned that Meles Zenaw’s daughter Semhal Meles, who was in Washington DC during the Summer, has gone back to Ethiopia yesterday. According to our source, many of Meles Zenawi’s close relatives and friends have been informed on Sunday afternoon that the dictator’s illness is terminal.

We also have been informed that Meles Zenawi’s deteriorating health could be as a result of poisoning, and not just cancer.

Meanwhile, Woyanne security chief Getachew Assefa has reportedly banned Meles Zenawi’s wife Azeb Mesfin — also known as mother of corruption — from leaving Ethiopia today. Azeb has amassed enormous wealth and political influence, which has garnered her a number of enemies. Her fate is very much intertwined with that of Meles.

Several family members of the Woyanne junta have been observed leaving Ethiopia en mass during the past few days fearing possible chaos that could result from the power struggle that could follow the dictator’s death.

  4. It is time to catch Azeb Leba, Al Amoudi and Berhane G/Kirstose

    Those three people know all Meles bank accounts in foreign countries and in order to retrieve all the wealth of EFFORT and from other sources Azeb, Al Amoudi and Berhane should be caught and investigated until they reveal all Meles wealth.

    Azeb Gola should be hung in Mesqel square for all the crimes she committed for past 13 years. She has nightly assassin squad and killed many people around the country specially Tigryans. Where ever she flies, she should be haunted for life.

    Al Amoudi should be revoked all his business activities in the country and all his properties should be nationalized to the Federal Bank for the people of Ethiopia since all his wealth was accumulated illegally by bribing high raking Government office holders and he basically corrupted the whole country and brought his filthy Islam religion to create havoc in the nation.

    Berhane G/Kirstos has been the right hand man of Meles for the last 40 years and he is one of the facilitator the evil man Meles crimes and Berhane is indirectly responsible for the henhouse crimes Meles committed against the nation and he is the treasury of Meles who receives and making deposits for Meles in various Bank accounts in foreign countries, he should be brought to justice for the aiding and abiding to loot the country wealth illegally. As others indicated Berhane has blood in his hand by helping Sebhat and Seyoum Mesfin for the disapearance of Tigrayan women who had an affairs during the struggle.

    When told of the inevitable disintegration of the Imperial regime, one of the most powerful men then, replied with two words. “Dream on” lol, how silly history repeats again and again. He was the last governor of Eritrea, under the Emperor. Later he was brought to Addis in chains and
    killed with the other officials. The rug is being removed from under your feet, you re the only one unable to see it.

    H.M. – You can run but u can not hide; stop playing “The fox under the sheep’s skin”; every body knows who u’re here. Woyanes and their sympathisers – DAYS are numbered…. sweet revenge – FINITO; just pray “moteh endiyamreleh” hahahahahaha

  5. Zenawi has been bleached with chemio-therapy. As for me the food poisoning thing is just a fabrication to claim a different story, perhaps. But it can well be a different story given the complex nature of human behaviour.

  6. Thank you for keeping us informed. If confirmed, I am curious to see how TPLF people will deal with it. Are they prepared with some sort of plan to pass the power to someone else within their own group or is this (considering he could be poisoned) going to be the spark in the powder keg that’ll have them at each other’s throats?

  7. Obbo Elias,

    I just read story when I was about to go to bed. I can’t tell you I am feeling now. I am just like a kid in a candy store. I am so jovial now so forget about sleeping tonight. Keep plugging away brother!!! Good job!!!!

  8. This is not the time for MEDENZEZ This is the opportunity for opposition groups, especially the G7 and those moderates like Andinet to reorganize ASAP! This is the moment where TPLF will restore itself once again which is not wanted although since they are in power already, it will be the continuing of dictatorship although it maybe peace. However if it is chaos, extremists could take over any moment as well, such as OLF and other pro ethnic groups, or even Muslims. This is not accident for Muslims to protest at the same time. This could be they are trying to take over in power! Now let us stop this Amara, Oromo etc, rise up in unity!!!

    Please friend read again what you wrote before post. If you are thinking as a woyane both G7 and OLF are labelled as terrorist by tplf. But you clear G7 and followed the same in case of OLF. You showed also negative attitude on muslim followers. Then who are you and what is your wish? Is it this Unity?

    Yeah right. Just another Kefafay. Since when muslims became
    political party? All Ethiopians muslims, christians; g7, olf, andinet, councel, eprp, etc have stake. We will all contribute.
    Elias great report, as usual. Thanks, bro.

    And it is with this attitude Addisu wants to lead the new Ethiopia….

  10. To you peace:

    Please don’t generalize about Ethiopian Muslims. I am a Muslim and never had any thought in my mind to overwhelm and dominate other faiths back home. That is prejudice, peace and such false accusation will never help the situation or further the accord badly needed after all these 21 years of ethnic based politics. If there are extremists among any faiths, you can’t beat them for good unless you neutralize them by bringing moderates among them to your side. Such irresponsible remarks will fall right in the hands of these wicked extremists. And you should apologize for such visceral remark.

    what is stated is that there are muslims from all ethnic groups in the same way that there are christians of all ethnic groups. the woyane are trying to inject ethnicity into relegion to divide the faith community. the woyane thrive on enciting violence betwen people either on ethnicity or relegion to maintain their power. that must be underlined.

  11. Hi Elias,

    I am getting very curious. It has been reported he is hospitalized in Belgium. If that is the case
    1. Why did Azeb not accompany him to Belgium? The closest person to take care of him in this kind of situation is definitely the wife!
    2. Why is the daughter going to Addis instead of to Belgium?

    Just out of curiosity!

    Point;
    You see TPLF is becoming a family party and Azeb is staying in Addis Fearing of any coups that would undertake from other evolving juntas of TPLF.The party belongs to him and her.Finished.

    Point,

    it’s simple, Because his body is in ethiopia.

  13. stop blaming muslims.they are just fighting for there worshipping right without interferece.nothing to do with meleses health.
    alluah akeber what a blessing day……..never felt happy like today…..the tplf mastermind[the idiological father of tplf],a man full of negative thoughts,a man who will never stop plotting even to his friends.
    i think this is the closing chapter for that evil generation.

  16. Guess he changed the wrong guards. I think we have a serial poisoner going around attacking leaders. In just last few years, there were Hugo Chavez, Argentina’s president, Brazil’s president, Ex-Russian spy, Arafat…and now Meles who got ill all of the sudden. Don’t wish death to anyone, but pray and wish to see a smooth transition soon. Change is always good.

  18. What a curse on Meles and his family to observe Ethiopians who normally say ‘ymarih’ to a sneezing passer by have no sympathy to say ‘Egzer ymarew’ to a gravely sick Meles. Kezi aynet wrdet ysewren. I hope it is a good lesson to everyone to respect the critical line between God and human beings. Anyone who passes that line, the end result is obvious. Those who brutalized their own people ultimately goes disgracefully to their graves.

    To our next leaders please remember that The fear of God is the begining of wisdom!!!if not you will be a horse to evil spirit and start to shoot and starve your own people.

    ETHIOPIACHN BE HZB YETEMERETE MELKAM MERI TEMERTA LEMAYET YABKAN!!!AMEN BELU

  19. Elias
    You need to tell all opposition leaders to unite ASAP & we don’t want to hear any excuse & we don’t want to miss this opportunity

    No more talk its action time

  21. He is going not to comeback, leaving all millions of dollars he stolen….all his bad names….I wonder what other woyanes will learn from him

  22. I think even with full awareness of his evil deeds, I wish he lived long enough to face justice, and see how the system he sacrificed so much is rejected and replaced with a non-ethnic democratic system. I also feel that for many who were victimised by him and his system his natural death would be devastating, just in the same way as many of Melosovich’s victims felt so ‘cheated’ when he died with out facing justice and condemned to life in prison. Personally, I would have loved Meles to have lived long enough to serve time in Kaliti.

  23. The report appears contradictory to what had been reported in the past. It looks like the fairytale about Atse Minilik’s death. Initially brain cancer (3 months ago), last week blood cancer now poisoning.

    Any way, it does not add up. Although, I want him dead….the story here appears to have a problem.

  25. Wow! Thank you Abebe Gelaw and the strong prayers of those dedicated monks! I’ve never in my life been so pleased with another person’s, I mean evil man’s death! One less evil on this earth is pretty good news for me. CONGRATULATIONS my brother Elias and the rest of my fellow peace loving Ethiopians who have been sentenced to death without cause, tortured and the victims families who have lost their loved ones at the hands of the evil dictator and the TPLF thugs. The the most hateful racist evil man that was ever created on the face of this earth that looted Ethiopia, sold Ethiopia, sold our young Ethiopian girls as slaves, sold small Ethiopian babies, tortured Ethiopians, killed Ethiopians and ruled Ethiopians with poisonous armed fist for 22 miserable years IS NO MORE! There is a God/Allah!

  28. The thuggish crafty politican, Meles Zenawi, convinced those who opposed advancing to central Ethiopia as an occupation at the time of what they call “Hinfifish” by stating that the freedom of Tigray was at stake and the only way they could be sure was to depose of the central government. Twenty one years later the TPLF is seen as an occupation force the people of Ethiopia are rising up like wild fire to consume the foreign among them. After looting bellions of dollars from central Ethiopia and building their base, it may be time to reconsider the mortal error they commited.

  29. This is the right time for Oromo people and Oromo political parties to restore the PEACE of their country and their neighbors, to safeguard their citizens. Allahi id great all the time……We have been seeing and very soon we will say it. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

    Yihedal,
    You bloodsucker. we had never been in unity with habash.Go hell!! we would rather prefer meles. Hope this will turn for oppresed oromo nation

  30. That disgraced, pathological liar, looter evil woman who never flinched when the countless number of Ethiopian mothers lost their precious children at the orders of her evil husband, should be forced to return the money she stole and should be hanged in the middle of Merkato.

  31. His spirit was plagued with his hatred to the Amharas. But, for the spiritual and the phisical are connected, that spiritual plague attacked his body. That means, Meles was already sick since childhood. As we all know, hatred and anger destroy the beholder, and let that traitor by pedigree get what heserves. Ye’ethiopia Amlak ayankelafam.

  32. This if it was true story, will be a great news for quite a lot of people, including for Eritreans, whose development have been hammered, because of the misguided and hate filled administration of meleses, interference in Eritrean politics. Also by his absolute failure to follow the rule of law. But my gut feeling tells me, while it is a joyful story, it is only a hearsay. I have noticed, Melese is very much jealous of President issays afewreki and he tends to emulate or copy what ever Issays is doing, after all, President Isays took Melese by hand and thought him, when they were back in the field. So I still see in Melese trying and attempting to copy what ever his elder role model does. And I think this story might just be, one of meles’s copying and learning from issay’s trick. I say this because about 2 -3 month ago, President Issays pulled a stunt, where he hid from the public face to see, which Military officer was planning to overthrow him, and who are his loyal generals. TO do that, he faked his death, and as you all know rumor of his death was spread like a wild fire, even the big medias, like VOA, BBC, and France Radio among others reported of his alleged Death from terminal illness. After about a week or two, the man appeared on state owned TV more healthier than ever, what a hoax that was. And Among those who were spreading of his death, were the woyane propaganda machine, So I think, learning from the advantages Issays got from that story, Melese is taking advantage of this situation. Granted he might have had some minor health issues and might have had some check ups, but I honestly don’t believe that he has any sort of terminal illness of any kind. You guys are highly under estimating, the level of “TENKOL” This people will go,to stay in power, and even faking illness and pretending to be dead for a week or two. So unless an official doctor from a trusted hospital comes and says, I treated, PM melese and this is his disease, or we see his funeral, Don’t get your hopes high, just because he has not appeared on TV for a week or two, this is all a fabricated story, that is fabricated by no other than MELESE himself, he is testing his people, to see, who is with him, and who is not with him, because, in three years he is planning to step down, but, he only wants to step down for a show, and would like to maintain his lion share of the stolen wealth and to continue to have a say in the country’s wealth, to do that, he has to put some one in the chair that he truly believes will be loyal to him and his corrupt wife, and this is a process that he thinks, will help him to find out who is who. MARK MY WORD, in few days, you will see melese back on the game, giving interviews and bla bla. Don’t give to much credit that he didn’t appear in the AU meeting, Meelse is an ego maniac who thinks, AU meeting for him is beneath him at this stage, as he now sees himself as part of the G-8 and G-20. If he was so terminally ill, he didn’t miss those meetings, did he????? so he looses nothing by not showing up in the AU meeting, AU is one good for nothing organization that just wastes time, and it is just a dictators club where, they get together to pretend they are doing something, hence melese can use this opportunity to advance his cause. Okay I wish i am wrong for the sake of the 90 million people who wish him a cruel death, but I know am not wrong so will be stuck with this midget, who is a cancer to society for another few years.

    Victory To the Mass !!!!

  34. If any one thinks we will be fooled after all this sacrifice and not go to palace is Mamo kilo. We will treat every body equally but that isthe end of it. ‘no more Church dominance. We are equals. We believe in democracy.

  35. The impending expiration of one of the worst mass murders in Ethiopian history will be a good thing for everyone, including the die-hard TPLF sympathizers. It is good for the majority of oppressed people and to those who want to see a genuine democracy established, which is based on understanding and equality. For those who are nostalgic about the past especially the feudal regime which promoted the culture and way of life one ethnic group, especially, Amhara, the time had expired. There is no such thing as one Ethiopiwent and one language. Every single nationality in Ethiopia has an equal stake in the country. For those who want to maintain the status quo, the current opportunity may not come back again. The killing, looting, and robbery cannot continue. TPLF never has a mandate to rule. The die-hard sympathizers must think twice and try to work with anyone including Amhar chauvinist even if it is difficult to do so. Do not tell us a bout Dedebit democracy that you have installed in our country. There is no real democracy in Ethiopia. We need a real democracy where by one man can’trule a country more than five years, and a lie would not be a core value of a government.

  37. That evil women, the most hated in Ethiopian history,will pay the price of her crims one day.Like Laila ben-Ali, like Emelda Markos and others she will return back the millions she stol from the Ethiopian people. let’s learn a lesson from our muslim brothers who are fighting for Demsachin yesema. Oromo brothers, stop to be victims of poisonous hateful divid and rule propaganda. We can win only if we stand together. Unity,not division will help us to get rid of tyrants. Ethiopian Somalis too. All of Us!! let’s rise up against tyrany. By the way, you think Meles’s death will be the end of our problems? Think.

  38. Dear Sir/Madam

    From Reading all these comments and opinion of different Ethiopians what I learned is about the mental setup of fellow writters. Not a single writter wrote about justice, reconcilation, forgiveness and all other noble ideas. All opinions for that matter from literate and those expected to know something is about killing, beatting, hanging etc.
    If you see or read any western newspaper regarding individual who commit crime, the public opinion usually is about
    how justice to be served. In our case it is how to avenge, the same old story and the same cycle of hate, violence killing missery. Is it what the way forward we wish to our country and our people. Guys please let’s grow up. Let us learn from our mistake and build Ethiopia in unison, breaking the boundary of ethnicity, hate and all our differences which is a legacy of our past history.
    Revenge and blame culture and hate will get us no where. Do we need our parents, brothers, sisters and fellow contry folks to suffer the way others do. Do we need Ethiopians to kill each other and indulge in endless orgy of killings and suffering. Yes there is problem yes there is nepotism Yes there is corruption and maladministration is ripe in Ethiopia. The solution and the way forward should be reached through discussion and by siting around the table and by working for common goal which should be for the goodness of all Ethiopians. Let us not spend all our time and energy contemplating about revenge instead lets think about how to contribute our bit in order to alivate Ethiopia and its people from the clouding danger.

  39. Azeb could be A star in the movie the devil in mrs.Jones.Let the dirt bag buried befor she leave may be that is why they holding her or the next on line will Mary her.She is the TPLF ISSUED wife of The LATE MELES.

  40. If she has poisened him she has done great thing and give here a credit. We can see that there is the power competion among TPLF’s top political leaders and they are ravaging each other for Meles succession but the lies that they have built in the Ethiopian government hav been hounging them from thinking clear mind and this is what the dictators faces after commiting a such crimes aginst their fellow citizens. Now its time for the Ethiopian people to bring those top Wayane leaders to justice for commiting the henous crime aginst their Ethiopian people.Everthing have been built on lies and deceving while suppressing the people. The question is how far one can materialize other for his own objectives? i don’t think so. For the las 21yers TPLF have stolen a billions of dollars from Ethiopian people and they have bee rulling the entire country by divide and concore and in this case the whole citizens of Ethiopa is the innocent and their property must be returned for them because Ethiopian children can’t afford to loos such a huge many while they don’t have cholks for thier schools. Now the truth is unfolding and its upto the Ethiopian people to come together and oust this dictator from their country. I hope one day the Western countries would stop funding this dictator that killes the Ethiopian every 5min. I hope we will bring those gangstor to justice and the blood of my people will be paid.
