ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia – Ethiopian Prime Minister dictator Meles Zenawi denied reports saying that Ethiopian government Woyanne has agreed to hold peace talks with the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) without preconditions
“There are no started, ongoing or planned talks with OLF” Meles replied to a question raised from opposition MPs in parliament on Thursday.
Despite his denial a mediation team drawn from Oromo elders recently said that they have met the Prime Minister dictator in person and he told them that his country is ready to hold talks with the group without any preconditions.
But Meles agreed that there were many elders that demanded and given permission and support from government in an effort to convince the group to come to a peaceful, democratic and legal way of struggle, which he said the efforts didn’t seem to work out so far.
“Ethiopia Woyanne welcomes any political group at home or abroad for peace talks but only on one condition,” said Prime Minister Zenawi.
“That body has first to agree to accept, respect and safe-guard the nation’s constitution” he said. He further added “OLF in a clear and concrete words didn’t yet assured us that it accepts Ethiopia’s Woyanne’s constitution.”
“As far as this stand is not changed negotiation with OLF or any other group is impossible. No body can change, improve or negotiate over the constitution,” he stressed.
Ethiopian government Woyanne considers the group as a “terror group” and holds it responsible for different bomb attacks including to the latest bomb blast that blew a town minibus near the ministry of foreign affairs.

According to Newton`s law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. As long as the state continues to terrorize its people as is the case in woyane Ethiopia, there will be for sure sooner or later a counter reaction.
Ah, the Ethiopian constitution – that despotic buffoonery!
They call the cunning fly-trap a constitution?!!
Constitution should endear itself to its adherents, if it doesn’t you write another one. That simple. It is little more than thick headedness to expect someone to respect a constitution that serves the capricious whims of a devious head of a tribal ideologues
My dear Ethiopians, do you believe Meles who likes to change his character and colour like a chameleon in order to cheat the Ethiopian public ? The one who denys when hundreds of Ethiopians are dying of hunger? The one who denys cutting Ethiopian land for Sudan? Meles has no any choice more, than openly denying everthing, because his pockets are now empty of other tricks. He denys the dealing with OLF because the OLF has rejected the offer. It is disappointment and shame for him and his ruling bandits. The failing of driving the OLF into the last net or trap is more exposing Woyane to all other Ethiopian rebels.
The constitution(ethnocentrism)protect and defend TPLF agenda which is divide and rule coded policy. In another word you bow to TPLF orless?
If Meles deny , then there is surely a start !
Melese denies everything. he denied his close friends like kinfe G/medehem and hayalm and killed them
Aba Biya and Negussie Biratu and other traitors, you will face the justice of Oromo people when the time comes!
