Ethiopians in Seattle forced Woyanne event to be canceled

Concerned Ethiopians in Seattle have forced the cancellation of an event at the Seattle University where Woyanne ambassador and full time drunkard Samuel Assafa was scheduled to speak. It was rumored dictator Meles Zenawi might also appear at the event.

The event, which was named “Understanding Ethiopia,” was scheduled to coincide with the exhibition of Lucy (Dinknesh).

The University has canceled the meeting after Dr Shakespear Feyissa, a prominent Ethiopian attorney in Seattle, demanded a meeting with the president and other high level officials of the university to lodge a complaint. Shakespear, on behalf of the Ethiopian community in Seattle, informed the university about the atrocities of the Woyanne regime and appealed that the prestigious Seattle University should not provide a forum to mass murderers.

The University agreed and has canceled the meeting as shows below.

Understanding Ethiopia Today – Cancelled!

His Excellency Dr. Samuel Assefa, Ethiopian Ambassador to the United States

This event has been cancelled.

What ties exist between the Northwest and Ethiopia and how are they changing? What role is Ethiopia playing in the War on Terror? What is the significance for Ethiopia of the exhibit “Lucy’s Legacy: Hidden Treasures of Ethiopia” on display at Pacific Science Center? In what ways are trade and investment between the Pacific Northwest and Ethiopia making us more connected?

The World Affairs Council presents His Excellency, Dr. Samuel Assefa, Ethiopian Ambassador to the United States. Dr. Samuel Assefa, a well-known academic and public figure in Ethiopia, was Vice-President of Addis Ababa University, the country’s leading institution of higher education, prior to his appointment as Ethiopian Ambassador to the United States on January 9, 2006.

Dr. Assefa pursued his undergraduate and graduate studies in the United States. He taught at Williams College and Rutgers University before returning to Ethiopia in 1994, where he held teaching and leadership positions at Addis Ababa University. In 1993, shortly after the fall of the military regime, he took a leave of absence from his teaching duties and returned to Ethiopia to work closely with the Chair of the Constitutional Commission in deliberations toward the framing of the new Ethiopian Constitution. In 1996, Dr. Assefa also helped found the African Institute for Democratic Deliberation and Action (AIDDA), a non-government organization dedicated to research and public deliberation on the problems and possibilities of transitional democracy in Africa.

A Private Members-only reception will be held at 6:00 pm. Location information will be sent to reception attendees prior to the event. Registration for the reception includes admission to the evening lecture.

Co-sponsored by Seattle University, Pacific Science Center, PATH.

  1. Wow!!! I am so pleased…

    Elias Wandime please give us the website that shares the story of this brave man Dr.Sheakspearr because the website you posted says nothing about that.

    We all want to thank him for good job!

  2. What a patriotic group of Ethiopians in Seatle? We have a lot to learn from this group Murderers must be exposed where ever they travel to.Their scheduled events must be destroyed at all cost. They could do anything in Ethiopia at a point of a gun, but not out side of it. We commend our gallant brothers and sisters in Seatle who worked hard and dismantled the propaganda mission of the fascistic regime of the woyane gang.

    Elias – keep us informed of developments

  3. Dear Editor,
    Extend our great Thanks to Dr. Shakspear.Dictators,the main enemy of human beings don’t have moral ground to preach us in the name of the first human kind( Lusy)
    Bravo Dr. Shakspear!

    Victory for Ethiopian and death for woyane in all directions.

  4. At the end of the day Samuel Assefa will get what he wants some free drinks. Thank you very much Dr Shakespear Feyissa, this is truly a major blow to Woyanne and a victory to Democracy.

  5. Hello everyone,

    Stopping an agent of killer gangs such as the Weyanes is one hell of a courageous act and a knockout diplomatic victory.

    It is encouraging to know that we have people like Dr. Shakespeare Feyissa and other in Seattle and elsewhere who still has the fire and the vision to bring our struggle against the killer whales in Ethiopia to its logical conclusion-their defeat.

    We will never sleep nor give up until we bring to justice the killers of our brothers and sisters on the streets of Addis Abeba and other areas of Ethiopia. Their innocent blood is crying out loud from their graves. These martyrs want to know if they died in vain or not. People like Dr. Shakespeare, Professor Al, Mr. Obang etc are saying NO. And we should ALL say NO a thousand times to running away from the challenge. We should fight the good fight to bring the Weyane killers and their greedy slaves like Samuel Assefa to justice.

    We should have vision. We should be able to see beyond what is seen. That is what vision is all about. Ignore the circumstances. And create your own. That is what the martyrs saw. And they fought to create their own circumstances.They saw a vision and decided to die for it.

    Diaspora! Get up from your deep slumber and stop complaining and whining. Quit talking gloom and doom. Pick up the pieces where you left off in 2005 and energize the good fight and let us bring this struggle to its inevitable end-VICTORY.

  7. Bravo Seattle,

    Thanks so much my beloved people of seattle. Thank you Dr. Shakespear Feyissa and others.

    Good Job my people in seattle, you guys have done a magnificent job to protest the anti human masterminds of TPLF led by meles sytanawi.

    As you all know that the original Lucy has been sold to unknown party by the criminal and corrupted groups of TPLF, and the money that was found out of Lucy was gone directly to the pockets of Meles Sytanawi’s families and other top crime orchestrator members of TPLF and their idiot, and racist supporters and also to the HODAM cadres of weyane.

    Now it was confirmed that the fake Lucy has been kept for visitors in Texas and was scheduled to be seen in Seattle.
    Anyway, the almighty Ethiopian community of society, particularly Dr. Shakespear Feyissa and other strong Ethiopian that are very angry by the gross killings of Meles Sytanawi and his self owned party TPLF , has made a wonderful measure to cancel the event.

    Seattle, you guys have done your part propely, and we all will continue to protest the Weyane child killer officials everywhere. At the same time Ethiopians of everywhere are boycotting from buying any items that comes from Ethiopia, and from getting any service from the core weyane supporters in Diaspora.

    Lets all boycott from using weyane’s stores, restaurants, gas stations and others to show our aggregation to weyane criminal group supporters.

    Together we win…..and time to join Ginbot 7…

    Death to all members and supporters of criminal group of weyane

  8. A full time drunkard should be his official title, not ambassador.Ambassador of what? Ambassador of COWARDS? I used to see him with that gay professor Endrias Eshete everywhere in Addis,talking nonsense and drinking like crazy. yewisha lij.

    Dan the man
