  1. My condolense to the young man’s beloved ones! it is so sad such young man like him to die for reasons that are not known yet but most of Ethiopian people as well as the rest of the horn of Africans would reach into one conclusion: STOP BEING THE SAFE GUARDIAN OF THE MODERN SLAVES OF AFRICA AS WELL THE BUTCHERS OF ADDIS LEGESSE Z, SEYOUM MESFIN, AZEB MESFIN, BEREKET SIMON, AND THE REST OF THE WEYANE FAMILY.

  2. It is really shocking. This assault could not come directly from the public or any group. The state security is responsible for that. some 6 months ago the security forces killed one American professor inside a minibus. They are the ones that detonated the booby trap. Nobody else.
