  1. it is the weyane doing – you don’t have to think any further – this is just the begining of the infight – these hodams are together until the moment comes where they are all scared of the uprise that is approaching – Meles will repeat the cowards behaviour – he will take his family and close friends to the Sudan and then God knows

  2. The brutal atrocities of weyane the gangsta has finaly come home to roost.When thousands of innocent Ethiopians including children (by the way very few tigrayans)have been slaughtered and put in jail for asking justice the greedy and non sense sympathizers of the Weyane were saying they were chavunistic amhara,un-civilized oromos and so on.I hope the attck on ato Aregawi the privileged tigrayan newspaper editor and owner will send a message that Weyane is just simply brutal any one who oppose weyane will be punished. The agony and sorrow that has been felt by the families of young woman and men who vsnished by Meles and his killer agents hoply will be felt by Ato Aregaei”s families.

  3. Amare and Reporter have been a private newspaper serving the woyane regime for many years. i heard their big and tech savy office in addis ababa is worth atleast 50 million birr, which is paid by the TPLF members themselves. so how can we ever trust amare and reporter when they do drama like this?? even if they kill amare (whoever “they” are) no one will ever trust the Reporter newspaper!!
    The 50 million bir REPORTER headquarters built by TPLF members is bigger than the worth of all of the REAL private newspapers in ethiopia COMBNED!!!
    Mr. Amare has a hundred times more money than the financially poor but GENUINE PRIVATE and INDEPENDENT ethiopian newspapers like Fortune, Addis Neger, Jimma times, Admas, Awramba, menelik and others.

    stop insulting our intelligence!! shame on TPLF for this drama!!!

  4. Hanna,

    How can we trust if you are just one of Woyane bandas. There is no proof. We dont know you and there is no resume from you. The name Hanna is hebrew. It means god’s favorite. Some cultures believe that you name could impact your personality. In your case it is the opposite. This may be you pen name. Get married and be happy. Dont be one mean grouchy loser.
