By Elias Kifle
After being buried for several years, Ethiopia’s patriots, those who speak the kind of language anti-Ethiopia forces such as Woyanne understand, are slowly waging a comeback. I have been privileged to visit some of them when I went to Eritrea this month to interview President Isaias Afwerki. Due to scheduling conflicts, I could not go to their camp in the field this time, so they drove several hundreds kilometers to meet with me in Asmara.
After spending a few minutes with these patriots, I was more inspired than ever, and left with more determination and sense of responsibility to help free Ethiopia from the Woyanne tribal mafia that is pillaging and plundering our country.
One of those patriots I met is Shambel Zewdu. He is an elected member of the federal parliament from the Gaynt Woreda of “Killil 3” (the so-called “Amhara Killil”). Following the 2005 elections, when Meles Zenawi unleashed his killers on civilians, Shambel Zewdu told then Kinijit Chairman Hailu Shawel about his intention to join resistance fighters. He said I cannot bring myself to sit down in that ‘parliament’ and allow the murderers who gunned down 12-year-olds go unpunished. He also urged Ato Hailu Shawel to leave the country and lead the struggle from exile.
Shambel Zewdu then went on a 4-month journey through northern Ethiopian jungles and mountains to arrive at the Eritrean border. When Eritrean soldiers saw him, they hugged him with tears in their eyes, gave him food, clothes, medical treatment and shelter. After he recuperated, he asked them to take him to the Ethiopian People’s Patriotic Front (EPPF) camp. They tried to talk him out of it because of his old age. But he told them that he would kill himself if they don’t take him to EPPF.
For the past 4 years, Shambel Zewdu has been with the EPPF, first as a rank-and-file member and now a member of the central committee. Two months ago, the EPPF leadership transferred him to Asmara to run the newly opened office.
EPPF has numerous genuine Ethiopian patriots such as Shambel Zewdu who refuse to betray their people and country like those who are currently sitting in the Woyanne parliament and eat crumb. Their stories have not been told so far for various reasons. Ethiopian Review is determined to change that. Ethiopia is indeed blessed with heroes. We still have them. We just need to give them the chance to shine.

waw elias kifle, this is another blow for weyanes. that is what they scared. that is the language weyanes and bandas will undersatnd. keep it up. elias kifle we need more to know
Thank you very much Elias Kifle! you are making our people come together by talking good things about Eritrea and EPPF. please don’t listen to those woyanes who accuse you for working for Isayas. you are a brave journalist and you are telling the truth about Eritrea. our country will help Ethiopians defeat the fascist woyane!! as you said, Asmara is the best city in Africa and Eritrea is the most democratic country in africa where every citizen is free to say anything and participate in politics. the woyane dictatorship killed many innocent people and it is important that patriotic Ethiopians work from Eritrea to liberate their country.
Elias..what a marvelous thing You’ve done. I know you are fighting for your country Mother Ethiopia but I personally appreciate for what you are doing to protect my people and my country. Brother please don’t be discourage by some hodam talkers propganda against you keep shine keep going thank you bro.. I am Ginbot 7. I am a simple guy who likes to see Mother Ethiopia shine and smile always.I will support EPPF according to me EPPF and Ginbot 7 are the only “Nationalistic and Patriotic” political parties out there.I give big respect to those Eritreans who encourage Shambel Zewdu.
VIVA EPPF
VIVA GINBOT 7
I SUPPORT AN ARMED STRUGGLE AGAINST THE PARASITES(WOYANE)
Bravo Elias. It is time to work with EPPF!!
I have no words to express my happyness.
Go EPPF!!
Folks, we need to support the EPPF. Otherwise dreaming is not going to take us anywhere of value! In complete cooperation with Eritrea, we should be able to kick some assssss.
Elias,
I am in tears with guilt when I saw those pictures of selfless korate jegenas and their stories. We have to communicate woyane with the language it understands. The picture speaks for itself really. That and all the pictures and video you sent. You can tell true people and their sincerity just by the body language and energy. Compare that to the hodams that are in arat-killo, really. kitachwen sayeshfenu ende merabaweyan mehone yemokeralu, with all wasting of the people’s money instead of serving our poor people.
God bless
Thank you
Elias and ER crew.
Elias, I have no doubt you are on mission to save all the people in Ethiopia from blood-thirsty tribal mafia, I propose to you for a leadership post in the armed liberation forces. A man like you is indespensible and must lead any joint operation to oust the gangs in Addis Ababa. I would personally invite you to visit Ogadenia next time around.
Good job!
God is watching over all our freedom fighters. We are with you in our hearts. I wish i could be there with them as well. Thanks for sharing this story, Elias. Keep up the good work man, you’re a true hero!
Well done Elias…
you are my man… brother……you make my day..
Woyanes will sheeet now..these arbengoch…will talk woyanes language
GREAT..
Good for Shambel Zewdu. Gayint people are well known for standing to any sort of opression. it is good to know Shambel Zewdu has become yet another shinning example of the people of Gayint.
Dear Elias
You made history Brother ! Wawu I have no words for the achievement you made this week . I gave a good lesson for those black mailers and character assasinators in the DC Area and beyound. Berta Wondme You deserve Respect !
We all are with you ! Untill Ethiopia will be liberated from the yoke of Woyane !
I may not agree 100% with everything you say and do Elias Kifle, BUT I admire you for the following reasons Sir:
1) You believe in what you say
2) You take action & Do Something for Ethiopia! (Which is more than I can say for most Diaspora Ethios that are not involved in any capacity I’m sorry to say, I think probably 90% of Ethios talk talk talk but do nothing!
3) You’ve inspired me to get involved and do something. Having said that, for those of us who are on the fence and want to get involved, CAN YOU PLEASE TELL US WHAT EPPF IS ALL ABOUT IN TERMS OF THEIR PROGRAM & HOW WE CAN HELP SUPPORT THEM IF WE CHOSE TO DO SO PLEASE????
Again, I may not agree 100% with all you say and do Mr. Elias but I genuingly respect you and more so your style of leading by example and taking action; I think it’s something our opposition leaders lack. I love the way you are starting to tell the stories, cause the stories alone inspires. This is a time to inspire. Inspire on Eli!!
S.:)
the only word i can com-up is i am very proud to have Ethiopian like you freedom fighters.freedom is not free you and all our ARBENUCH are paying the greatest sacrifice for our mother land Ethiopia.GOD BLESS ALL OF U and we will do our part wherever we are LOVE AND RESPECT.
Unity First
Please Elias keep it up. Don’t listen to those who attache you with shabia. They will know you through time. Be patient. You are practical as opposed to your counterparts who only do the talkings!!!
Go for G7! Go for EPPF!
Unity First
Elias,
How does one know if some thing is good or bad in Ethiopian politics? Well, the answer is very easy. If Weyane likes it, it is bad for Ethiopia, and if Weyane hates it, it is good for Ethiopia. Example: An Ethiopian farmer was asked about HR2003 and he said he likes it and it should be good for Ethiopia. And when asked what HR2003 is, he replied that he has no idea what it is but since Weyane is against it, it must be good.
Now, back to Elias’ trip to Eritrea and the interview with President Isayas: Is it good for the struggle or bad? Well, let’s be like the wise farmer, for a moment, and we will get the answer. Every Weyane web site is barking about it. You name it: Aiga, Nazret, Dagmawi, Weyane first aka Ethiopia first etc. are on a total war against Elias’ trip and are whining 24 hours. So, you have your answer: it must be very good for the struggle, to go ahead a few steps.
Good job Elias, an individual can bring a big change single-hand.

Elias thank you. You are right those heros need to shine. You are on the right track. Woyane has to pay for its crimes.
Am joining this front!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
any body with me?
True to your name you have become like the
elijah of the Bible who refused to praise the corrupt government of his time and prophecied famine and defeat.Now you are declaring defeat on the corrupt woyalas which is imminent. keep it up. Your detractors will definitely fail.
I am in tears with guilt when I saw those pictures of selfless korate jegenas and their stories. We have to communicate woyane with the language it understands. The picture speaks for itself really. That and all the pictures and video you sent. You can tell true people and their sincerity just by the body language and energy. Compare that to the hodams that are in arat-killo, really. kitachwen sayeshfenu ende merabaweyan mehone yemokeralu, with all wasting of the people’s money instead of serving our poor people
I am more than determined to go and see our patriots in Eritrea. I have also heard that EPPF army already in ethiopia territory. I love to visit their office in asmara and also help.
If few ethiopians in the diaspora acted like you instead loosing their time analizing and studying the nonesense subjects of what to do with Woyane, we could have get rid of this mafia long time ago. Why the Ethiopians do not want to learn from the history of Eritrea. You have to fight for your right not expect somebody to do it for you. Kinijit was hoping the West will fight for them to get unseatted the Woyane mafia. Still the Ethiomedias.com and similar groups are dreaming that some one will do something for them. Their blind hate of Eritrea and Eritrean is covering them to see the reality. Woyane will be removed only with the help of Eritrea even the USA will do lot of trouble to our country to keep their watch dogs in power. We Eritrean want to live in peace with all our neighbours and specially with Ethiopia.
Elias is great he is doing the right thing. We should help him and the great fighters practically. Waiging a wars needs lot of reasorces other than heroes. So creat organazations to help these great fighters. Elias can help to do this. Let the others discuss democrasy and other rubbish in their web and live a dream.
Best wishes to Ethiopians and Eritreans, we shall live as brothers with out Woyane.
Dear Elias,
you are the true son of Ethiopia!
I really have no words to express my feeling when I see those korat arbegnas,and want to help in the most that can be expected out of me.I know `gayint` and the people around there,they are all determined Ethiopians for what they stand for,There are many more Ethiopians there whose hearts are with EPPF.Go EPPF! go Elias…Go ER
God Bless Ethiopia
What the Ethiopian Arbegnoch genbar need the most is a committed, visionary and determine (Qorat) leadership with in the Organization. While doing that and to do it, resources are very essential. That are financial, political (having very close and wise contacts with countries that are useful for struggle), Media and the likes from Diaspora Ethiopians.
If it happens very wisely and consistently without out starting and finishing and starting the kind of party/organization which is something very bad habits of ours, then the woyane era will be over with in few sacrifices. The biggest problem to the people struggle are Diasporas that are not able to come together in the name of the nation against their common enemy. They are behaving like a group of termites and ants that is looking to start own colony while the circumstances are not there and it will disappear for nothing leaving every direction. Those once were united and strong political force against woyane, is now become nobody add meaningless when they starts their own. Ethiopia lacks wise, determine and committed opposition leaders. Most of them are against each other helping the people enemy this way. I hope, that era is by now over. We, Ethiopians have to make that kind of bad behaviour among the opposition is over and the new era which the era of free from selfishness, being hodams, weak, luck of determination and commitment must be over. Be an opposition is not being on holyday, honeymoon, impose own interest and the likes. It is the best place and only the chosen and the healthy human being can successfully achieve their goal paying lots of sacrifices. We need these kind leader and oppositions.
Learn from the past. Be united and committed. Identify, expose and avoid those hodams serving woyane pretending they are against it. These hodams are playing very nasty games against the oppositions causing conflicts among them making them unable to unite as one force against that insect woyanes.
Two or three courageous individuals can play decisive roles than trashes that are with thousands. If there is commitment and determination from the opposition sides, Ethiopians are ready to scarify everything possible against woyane. Remember what happened around 2005 election and beyond before disappointments have been occurred because of divisions, accusation, counter accusation and hostilities among the united oppositions that are disintegrated and behaving right now like a colony of bees with out queen to guide and guarantee the future.
United is strength. But be sure with who are you uniting. Enemy with in is worst than enemy without. Be careful with whom you are associating when it comes the very important issues.
Elias you are practical. Our priority is to get rid of woyane and punish them for the crime they have comitted.We are happy to use any option in this respect. Keep your clear stand about woyane.Do not forget that action and information are side by side. Ones the the action clearly targets the enemy, all Ethiopians will show their support, by giving their life as well as resources.
Show us you have the right strategy and direction to emancipate Ethiopia from TPLF’s tribalists and barbaric criminals.
Go ahead!
Temtim
I don’t have one word,that matches with all your hard work to free Ethiopians from the evil. I only say you are the great thank you.
I want give a witness, that I have seen a”wayane” army group killed two innocent young boys in a day light time in a close distance. that was in the first day “wayane come to Addis “gunbet 20” in “piassa” in-front of “keftegna 2”. And the reason was becouse the Ethiopian flag in “Mazagajabet” was changed by “wayane” flag then the two boys where asked them way and the answer was bu let. This is in-front of my eyes. But that day in Addis in every corner there was dead bodies of innocent peoples.Tow months later I have seen the same thing in-front of my eyes.Then 18 years the same evil Uuuuuuuuu.
i swear to my GOD, as i am Ethipian i have obligation to what i can to my country.
If Elias Kifle entered to ethiopia there will be worest and never ever seen in the world civil war. if this guy achieve what he is aiming for you know we r TIGREANS we dont give a little shit for life, any tigreans are ready to fight for their sovernighty.
i can see that if this guy enter to soil of ethiopia a big war will start in the horn and will never finish.
I have been telling you people, the only thing weyane understand is force. Legesse Zenawi who has not fired a shot in his life knows one thing: deceive, lie and manipulate. Case in point: go back in history see what he has done to the founders of TPLF for justice. Learn what he did to Ghidey Zeratsion aka Zerihun Zeratsion and what ever his name his comrade. Look how he betrayed Issayas Afeworki. Keep on organizing and that will make him wet his pants. Elias what you are doing is most effective, it already started driving the Aiga gangs crazy. People to people contact is the way to heal bad experience. Out of desperation Zenawi is inviting the people whom he evicted to claim their property. Unless one is crazy would not fall for that crap. This is been litigated on the court of justice no matter how much time it takes the right of every Eritrean will be restored. In the mean time, I encourage you all to unite and confront the coward beast who is ruling Ethiopia. Good luck EPPF.
Elijjah,
That is a great one ….. Wonderful … Berta …. Other people may oppose you. But, ultimately, you would win and Ethiopian will prevail …
Berta,

Ethiopiawe
Caught between the loves of the two nations, Ethiopia and Eretria, Elias Kifle is a hero who will die for the people of Ethiopia and Eritrea.
Determination to go some extra miles, immeasurable intellect to analyze complicated issues, unfathomable wisdom to love, not to hate even one’s own enemy, amazing insight to predict the futurity of Ethiopia, and unsurpassed understanding of the present political issues about Ethiopia and Eritrea – all of these God-given gifts – are the marks of a distinguished journalist, Elias Kifle, editor of the Ethiopian Review.
Taking the pressing case of Ethiopia as his own, leaving behind the comfortable life here in Washington, and risking his own life, Elias Kifle has traveled hundreds of miles, has interviewed the President of Eritrea, Issayas Afewerki, and has met with some of the most notable Ethiopia’s patriots in Asmara.
For the extra miles he has covered, for the money and the time he has spent, for the courage he has demonstrated, and for his tireless effort to bring down the corrupt Woyanne regime, and to establish normalcy between Ethiopia and Eritrea so that the people of Ethiopia and Eritrea can have a better life in the future, Elias Kifle has been getting significant praises and gratitude from hundreds of people concerned about the lack of the peace progress between Ethiopia and Eritrea. So he deserves to get our praises for the job he has professionally accomplished so far.
For those carpers – fault finders – who are dishonestly criticizing Elias’ mission to Asmara have no clue what it takes to establish a broken friendship between Ethiopia and Eritrea. It takes self-denial, courage, patience, wisdom, and the art of modern politics.
Equipped with such proven weapons, Elias Kifle has been doing just that, whatever criticism he may have from some mount bank commentators such as Mintesinot Haile whose article: “Disgusting Cry on behalf of Issayas Afeworki” that Nazret.com has posted recently and others like him.
In his article, the author shamelessly and irrationally states that Elias Kifle “…has given clear evidence by his repeated deeds that he is a 100% Shaabia stooge among us who dare to tell us that Issayas Afeworki we know of is a rational man that hosts LFits and opposition leaders in a more friendly manner.”
Let us be clear here that Issayas Afeworki is not the enemy of the Ethiopian people: He is an African, an Ethiopian, and an Eritrean man who may have different ideology from the ideology of the corrupt Meles Seitanawi (Zenawi); even if some commentators like Mintesinot Haile believe that Issayas is a formidable enemy of Ethiopia, Elias Kifle has done the right thing by going to Asmara, according to the word of the Almighty God who commands us to love even our enemies, to interview the leader of Eritrea and try to find out if there is a possibility to bring the two independent nations to a better understanding of each other in a civilized way.
To some unlearned journalists and commentators, Elias Kifle may have appeared as if he were an underling or as the butt of jocks to entertain a foreign enemy – Issayas Afeworki. I’m sure Elias Kifle knows ahead of time that his detractors will assume that he is on the side of Issayas Afeworki; these are the people who do not know the scriptures very well. It was the Apostle Paul who once said that to the Jews he became like a Jew, and to the gentiles he became like a gentile in order to bring both to Christ Jesus.
In the same way, if Elias Kifle has appeared to the Ethiopians as if he were from Eretria and to the Eritreans as if he was from Ethiopia in order to bring the two divided countries together, there is nothing wrong in such smart and timely approach.
Who knows, because of Elias Kifle’s hard work, Ethiopia and Eretria may one day bury their differences and come together and live peacefully for ever? To bring such a bright hope, Elias is doing his job because he believes in peace, and as a peace maker, Elias will be called one of those blessed sons of God (Matthew 5:9).
So far no other Ethiopian journalist in the diaspora or at home has ever tried or planned to bring peace between Ethiopia and Eretria but Elias Kifle, one of the brightest and the true children of God.
When I see the children of Ethiopia denouncing each other instead of encouraging one another, it makes me sick and numb. To such quarrelsome children of Ethiopia, whether they are journalists or theologians, farmers or merchants (it doesn’t matter too much), St. Paul’s message is quite appropriate: “If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.” (Galatians 5:15)
Who cares whether Elias Kifle is 100% Shaabia or 100% Ethiopian; what matters here to the ordinary person is the message Elias Kifle has been disseminating to both the Ethiopian and the Eritrean people – a message of peace, cooperation, unification, prosperity, and mutual respect.
Why Elias Kifle has to be criticized for interviewing a foreign leader that happened to be an Ethiopian origin, whose culture is an Ethiopian culture, whose religion is an Ethiopian religion, and his goal is the unity of Ethiopia and Eretria and the destruction of ethnicity and tribalism?
We all Ethiopians should be proud we have a uniquely qualified Ethiopian journalist who crosses the Atlantic Ocean and presents our wishes – the death of the Woyanne regime – to the Eritrean leader who seems to have the same desire – that distinguished journalist is no one else but Elias Kifle who also spent few hours with the Ethiopian patriots, encouraging them that he is on their side and ready to tell their remarkable stories to the world.
May the Almighty God be always on your side, my dear Elias because you are one of those people called “Doctors without boarders.” You will see one day that Ethiopia and Eritrea will work together freely without boarders between them.
Daniel please go back to school.may be you will learn about the rest of US(ETHIOPIANS.)Great Job well done!!!Elias.Woyanes are shiting blue.Now it is clear we can see what is dripping from cadre Daniel.Woyane water boys are on attach we will see who will be next.
People like Daniel at comment number 27 are the ones who have mastered the art of separation, EPPF and Ginbot 7 are not ethnic based patriotic fronts, they are Ethiopians from all walks of life. Tigreans are ofcourse very brave Ethiopians but also true patriotic Ethiopians who will stand up for their country to dismantle the enemy within, Meles and Co aka woyane can never represent the people of Tigray, as a Tigre myself, i sincerely hate woyannes and I hold them responsible for the humiliation of my motherland and the destruction of my country’s culture and tradition. So Daniel at comment 27, you are woyanne not a Tigre. I live in Ethiopia and usually visits the US for family matters and its the only time I get a chance to see what is hidden from us due to lack of communication and I always make sure that I visit Ethiopian Review when ever I am in a foreign country since its blocked in Ethiopia, but that will change soon, as a human being, I deserve the right to know and believe what I want rather than to believe what my government wants me to believe and in woyannes case, that’s what they do to you
Elias, you are the man! You have provided us with this necessary link to see our fighters and their determination. This is what will going to free Ethiopia, not peaceful struggle, because Weyane does not understand peaceful struggle, they understand bullet better than talk.
Elias,
You have done a great job that non-of the Ethiopian Opposition Group in Diaspora combined could have done.
Because of the courageous trip you took to interview President Isayas Afewerki, I will say we are enlightened by the real stand of Eritrea and its president. The country Eritrea and its president want to see a united, strong and prosperous Ethiopia. This news is sending a chilling effect in their spine, whether they have any, to the bankrupt tribal Junta leadership in Addis Ethiopia.
And the patriotic Ethiopians are now assured to see Eritrea’s desire of united and prosperous Ethiopia.
It is about time that Ethiopians broaden our vision that who is standing with Ethiopia and who is destroying Ethiopia.
Good job Elias.
#27 above is ignorant. Not even intelligent enough by Wayane’s standard.
Thank you #36.
It would’ve been nice if could you work together with Patriots such as Tamagn & others in the diaspora coz UNTY IS STRENGTH & the struggle seems to be so fragmented – every window need to be sealed for the enemy. I hope ur effort would set an example to the others… Keep up the good work.
