Aba Gebremedhin (formerly Abune Paulos) dies

Posted on , Updated on by Elias Kifle

Abune Paulos

UPDATE: Ethiopian Review spoke with a staff member at Bete Kehenet this morning and was able to confirm that the “patriarch” is dead. Currently the Bete Kehenet compounded is surrounded by police, and several people, including priests and church officials, are going in and out of the compound.

The Bete Kehenet staff member told Ethiopian Review that Aba Gebremedhin was admitted at Balcha Hospital on Tuesday following a heart attack. Yesterday he was completely paralyzed and later on he went into a comma.

Ethiopian Review sources in Addis Ababa reported this morning that the Woyanne-installed fake Patriarch of Ethiopia, Aba Gebremedhin (formerly Abune Paulos), has died this morning at Balcha Hospital.

We called Balcha Hospital and spoke with the secretary who refused to confirm or deny the information and instead advised us to call Aba Gebremedhin’s secretary. The secretary at Balcha Hospital we spoke with sounded agitated and nervous. … more update shortly

    (S.A. )What a shame that you try to pic on not to wish him burning in hell?
    you see a criminal and you don’t wish him ill? you are not a human being then. Let some one kill your family, destroy your family value , destroyed whatever valuable things you have and see how you feel.
    WOYANE BET FENGIL GEBTIWAL…I HOPE IT WIPES EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM, IN FACT, I WISH I GET THE CHANCE TO PUNISH THEM EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM JUST LIKE THEY DID TO DERG OFFICIALS, I WILL BE THE FIRST TO BE THE PRISON ATTENDANT. I have mastered new ways to inflict pain every single day , dont wanna kill them but make it hell in the prison, you have no idea what i wish i could do. that is the only way i can get justice to what they did to my family 15 years a go.

  6. Seriously??? እናንተ አሁን የምር ክርስቲያኖች ናችሁ? አሳፋሪ ሁላ. It is so shame that you guys thing like that. ምንም ይሁን ምን አባት ናቸው ክህነት አላቸው ሊከበሩ ይገባል ፣ ፍርዱ ደግሞ የእግዚአብሄር ነው:: እሱ ከቁጣ መንፈስ ይመልሳችሁ::

    Andi ” is that the best you got.people like you talk and you listen to your talk and you believe it. So now this guy Elias should not have reported it, is that what your problem is, you wanna hear it from you Bereket or woyanes. Elias is not just a journalist , he is also freedom fighter, as every journalist in the west east and everywhere is, deal with it.

  15. ኢትዮጵያ የእመቤታችን የአስራት ሀገር መሆኗን እንመን! ይኸው በሱባኤ ፍልሰታ ተአምሯን አሳየችን!!

  18. Ladies and gentel men. Let us call upon the true fathers of the church to bring unity among all the churchs of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewhedos. Let the church stands independent of unchristian politics. This warrant a mass supported strong centralized church. A church which will stand for the destitutes, for jusice, for human rights. A time has come to revamp the ETOTC to the true creed of its dogma. May God bless Ethiopia and it’s people Amen!!!!!!

  19. First Meles, now Aba Geberemedin, they are going one by one, it’s like a domino effect. Hopefully, with a bit of luck the rest of TPLF members will vanish too. I wish I could show some respect to Aba Geberemedin because I was brought up to respect my elders and religious figures but knowing he was a fraud who hide behind religion I cannot do it.

  22. I think God is hearing the tears of many Ethiopians. He is clearing all enemies of the country. I hope it will continue with the remaining mercenaries.

    By the way, when will the Ethiopian govt officially announce the death of Meles. May be sooner than the coming Ethiopian new year. I cant wait to hear that news.

  25. YOU REAP what you saw man! Those who planted disrespect, should not expect different. You are trying to bring a voice of reason here, you can use it some where it is appropriate. It is such kind of mentality that trickle into our crippling culture of “LET IT GO” don’t be a a hypocrite. The guy was just as criminal as a Meles, and you can send your sympathies in hell !
    AS FOR ME I AM celebrating, na na na na. IT feels SOOOOOOOOOOOOO N GOOD.

  29. what about your boss zenwai? when he washed his hands on the blood of innocent people, this guy, you called ” Abuna paulos” was behind him. We never forget he was his best advisor to kill children in election 1997

  30. Some of you guys can not stand Elias Kiflle because he tells you as it is.
    To your dislike you said he is unobjective. Wow! Just because he is abrasive to the dictator and the Woyanes? We all knew an innocent harmless monk was murderd infront of Aba Paulos remember? What would you like him to write ?

  34. EOC had came a long way with all the troubling challenges and “Let God do the Justice “and let us come together and pray. May God rest thee Soul. And also –easy on personal attack. I CAN’ BELIEVE WE HAVE DEVELOPED HATRY” Infact, Christ preached Love so let us spread that and show our compassion.
    We can’t deny the fact that in the past two decades the bar has been raised for corruption and racism within our church. Let us change our faith journey. God has spoken and will continue to do so.

  35. Now its time for orthodox christian to elect their relgious leader without woyane involvment otherwise the consquence would be bitter.What a coincidence both orthodox and muslim comeup with same ajenda. I.e no more woyane involvment in religious matter.

  36. The patriarch is in the hands of god to recieve his judgement. Please do not sin by saying unholly stuff. Leave it upto the lord. He left us for good and leave him alone for he will not hear you but god will judge your comments for it is his duty to judge him accordingly.

  38. By writing stuff like this what you are contributing for your country is hatred. You are making the generation to hate each other. God bless you and let god wake you up and do something good. I love all Ethiopians and i don’t want to see people hate on each other…we are the same people even if we have differences and those differences can go away if we show love to each other.

    Solomon who created hatred, segregation and division between peoples of ethiopia, the Amaharas are under dog, the Ormos are back ward, the Ogadenese are terrorists, the rest arenot important. that is what woyane politicshas been dividing peoples by language, by region and by law, N one is allowed to live in ones territtry. about hatred comes from mistreatement. The ethiopian people aremistreated by woyanes andthe igrayans. That is the source of hatred. ad was cretaedby woyaes, Meles asthe leader ofall evils

  40. the communication minster Bereket simon says, Abune pawulos is not died, he is in a good health,he will be back soon befor :mariam fisleta: and he says this is deyaspore poletics

  45. THE FAKE PATRIARCH is a woyane political cadre who has been looting the orthodox church and shamelessly preaching his tribal politics, and approving the burning or monasteries and churches. His total loot is now registered as $20 million.

    He was known to carry a revolver gun wherever he goes and is the first person , serving as patriarch to build his own statue while alive, like Samoura younis, the woyane ‘general’
