  2. These pictures tell how worse the situation is in woyane infested ethiopia.
    It tells the level of poverty in ethiopia right now: a poverty which is worse than the desert of yemen. It also shows how much ethiopians have lost all their hopes on woyane(a government of the tigrays for the tigrays and by the tigrays)

    Time to react is now

  4. Ethiopian famine is a chronic problem has so many roots but the deepest one is government corruption and lack of functional structure, which is of course man, made and can be fixed if we have genuine and altruistic leaders.
    In spite of the government’s corruption and not having functional structure we have also share some responsibility for the problem we have encountered for the last 50 years. Pointing fingers toward the government is not enough, but we should also overcome our attitude toward responsibility, hard work, being independent etc. As I mentioned before our problem has so many roots and we should uprooted all of them with coordinated struggle.

  5. This is what Ethiopians are reduced to, under Derg Ethiopians had dignity, today Ethiopians are sleeping on the side of roads in Yemen. What a disaster!

  6. አይ ወገኖች ችግሩ ከኛው ነው ወያኔን የሰጠን ልባችንን አይቶ ነው:: ለወያኔ ፍርፋሪ ሰንሮጥ ለኔ ብቻ ስንንል አገራችንን ልናጠፋት ነው:: አቤት ከምንል የወያኔን ሆዳም ከየቤቱ ማውጣትና መቅጣት ይጠይቃል:: ባሁኑ ግዜ ለውያኔ ያልጎበደደ ግለስብ ሰርቶ ማደር አይችልም; አገር መጥቀም አይችልም ሰላምም እንኻን አላገኘም::

    እንግዲህ ወያኔ ብቻውን አልቆመም አለሁልህ የሚሉት ካድሬዎችና በሙስና የተዘፈቁ ሆዳሞች ናቸው የተሸክሙት:: ወያኔ እንዳይነካ በሙሰና የደነዘዙ ህሊናቢስ ሆዳሞች ናቸው ያቆዩት እንጂ እንዴት አርጎ የሃገር ጠላት እስካሁን ይቆያል::

    ለምሳሌ ወያኔ የሚወክሉ አማባሰደሮችንን እንመልከት የሚደረገውን እያወቁ ህዝባቸዉን ሳይሆን ወያኔንን ለመወከል ህሊናቸዉን ሸጠው ለአለም ህብረተሰብ የሚዋሹ ሙሁሮች ምን ይባላሉ? አላወቁ አይባል የሚኖሩበት አገር መረጃ አላጡ; ተሳሰተዉ ነው አይባል ጥፋቱን በቅጡ ያውቁታል እንሰሳ አይባሉ እንደሰው የዉጭዉን ህዝብ ለማታለል የማይምሱት ጉደጛድ የለም; ፈርተው ነው አይባል ወጭ ነው የሚኖሩ እንግዲህ በህዝብ ደም ሊጠቀሙ የተነሱ ሆዳሞች ካልሆኑ በቀር ምን ሆንን ብለው ነው እስካሁን ህዝባችን በርሃብና በስድት ተጎሳቀለ ሲባል እየዋሹ ኣይኔንን ግንባር ያርገው የሚሉን?

    አምላክ ያሳየን የሆዳሞችን መጨረሻ

  7. we should understand that woyannnes are now hopless. they know it, they are going to their grave. they will be buried with thir evil ideas of disintigrating Ethiopia.Thy did the maximum to divid the people. but they faild to eraise the name and the love of Ethiopia from ethiopians heart.Now, look the result under Tigrian people liberation front.I can guess we will never find any tigray fom those sleeping on the sand of yemen.Becaouse the tigrians are told to remain in the country and uphold their woyanee government

  8. Ethiopians are created to be suffered from hunger,civilwar and wars with its neighbours.Ethiopians need a real peace and not war …not buying weapons from Russia. Ethiopia cannot be a problem for the World and ´The World is tired to feed Ethiopians. Shame to be an hungry Ethiopian. But weyani doesnot care about the poor Ethiopians….weyani only cares about greater Tigray.I hink Ethiopia will be finish at the end of 2010. OLF,Ogand liberation front and other rebels will begin very soon a major offensive very soon.
