  1. You guys give a lot of attention to dummies like Walwa. By the way Walwa is not his dad’s name. It is a place in Gondar where this dud was caught drank by his then comrades of EPRP. His real name is Alemayheu Asfaw and he never went beyond 9th grade. He is one of Meles’s clowns. I hear that he always compares with Legesse Asafaw of the Derg.

    The prime minister needs such characters around him to break the monontony of the stressful life he is going through. He needs such idiots around him who will do what they are told to do without questioning. I am sorry for Ethiopia. Meles always makes sure that the people around him are neither ambitious nor political threats. Walwa never had the wildest dream to be in the position he is today. I am wondering if he at all comprehends what capacity building is.

  2. I heard this story from a friend. It is true. Years back Walwa lead a delegation to London in an attempt to discuss varous issues (political, economic, …) with Ethiopian elites. He was cornered by questions his little brain could not comprehend, and had to abort and leave the venue. In a closing remark he said:
    “… Ke EtioPia mihuran ye Tekeze ahiya yishalal.”
    What can we say?

  3. Tefera Walwa was my dear good friend when we were comrades about 27 years ago. He was not a bad person he paid his blood for Ethiopian people. Now at this time I don’t know what he is doing but back then he was fighting for Ethiopian people.
