  1. Thank you Elias for sharing the pictures.

    Yes the kids are growing. The only worry I have is since they grew up in isolation from the rest of Ethiopian kids I don’t think they understand the crimes and atrocities committed by their parents against the Ethiopian people. I am afraid that they are brain washed by their hateful parents to discriminate Amharas and Oromos.

  2. What’s the big deal? She is just being a teenager having fun with her friends. This has nothing to do with a political situation in Ethiopia. I just don’t see relevance as to why this picture has been posted on this site.

    yes you are absolutly right, she is just one of the killer’s chaild, she is following her father step.

  3. that is one ugly girl. She looks like both her mom and her dad. By comparison, Mengistu have produced preety children. His wife was good looking.

  4. Elias,

    You have to be careful Meles will retaliate harsh against you.

  5. Now, the Diablo will go insane. I bet you he is in constant doubt of the cup of coffee in front of him fearing Elias may pop out to flatten him cold. But the kids look like any other kids except in the one showing the girl with AK47. Let the Diablo think that you are watching with a satellite camera.

  6. I think she is trying to overthrow her father, but first she has to learn to shoot to kill; on the other hand, she must be very angry because her father, Meles Seitanawi, may have refused to give her at least $10,000,000.00 to buy new weapons and raise her own army so that she could go to her mother land – Wolkait-Tegedie – and declare herself the legitimate ruler of Ethiopia.

  7. My reaction to demos is, it has a great relevance to politics, because the picture shows currently many Ethiopian teenagers died with hunger she
    she shows the Kinijt sign!

    Thank you Elias.

  8. This is unacceptabel. Families are off limit in politics. If you have a problem with Meles, you can take it out on him. His daughter should not put to this, into politics mud slinging. She has not done anything to anyone. In the picture she looks like she is having fun. It looks poster photo. She does not even know how to hold the gun. Anyway SHAME on you, Elias. You are going too far with your hatred. First Isaias’s interview and now this. Ethiopian people do not want and deserve this kind of hate campaigning. Can you tell us where has hatred brought freedom and liberty?

  9. Elias, you are a fighter! let me tell you that this is nothing as all people will go out and party but this will terrorize Woyanne because it shows that you can get into their kitchen, that means nothing is hidden!

  10. This is a symptom of the regime, privilaged children of the elite living it up while the rest of Ethiopian youngsters don’t know if they will have the next meal, some of them even know they will slowly starve to death while the children of the elite are living large with ill gotten wealth by their parents.

    All one has to do is go to Addis and see how the elite and their families live while the majority of the 5 million inhabitants of Addis are living below poverty level. It is something when people show their hard earned wealth, it is something entirely different when children of elite live like millionaires with looted money.

  11. Yes, physical beauty is not in her family; cruelty is; therefore, she is not attractive, but she must be cruel, and as far as she is as cruel as her parents, she can still be the ruler of Ethiopia; if not Ethiopia, at least the ruler of Tigray Abay.

  12. meles used to lie to ethiopians that he has nothing except the cloth on his back and the books on his shelf….

    well…imagine how much money being squandered when the kids go foriegn trips while the trip to deberezeit requires this many entourage? This is shame!

  13. That’s some Intelligence Unite you got there Elias! The privileged life of Meles and Co. This is how their parents are mocking us the people of Ethiopia. She should practice shooting in front of her killer ugly father like her and his clique.

  14. Woy Elias shibiru! Whenever I visit your page I prepare myself to get shocked. Last week you were sitting next to Esayas Afeworki and almost gave me a heart attack. Now you have a photo of Meles Zenawi’s daughter in bed! What is next?!! lol

  15. Thank you Elias for exposing these shameless pictures. The dictator doesn’t know how to raise his own kid, and tries to tell the Ethiopian people what to do. We Ethiopians do not deserve ignorant and arrogant ‘leader’ like Meles.

  16. Woy Elias yematametaw yelem… but Im surprised with pic. 2 (Semehal Meles, all is safe with Agazi Army around). She is under the ordinary or poor people’s blanket “debrebrehan birdlibs” kkkkkkkkkkkk

  17. My dear Stop this #13,

    It is not Elias only that has problems with Meles Seitanawi; we, most of us Ethiopians, have numerous problems with Meles, Azeb (Jezebel) Mesfin, his children, his bodyguards, his gang squads, and with all of his admirers, including you.

    According to our Ethiopian tradition, a girl should not bite a boy’s tongue or expose parts of her body to the public whether she is in the night club or at the store. Especially, a leader’s daughter must be seen helping the orphan children, going to Sunday Schools and learning the Bible. She must be seen carrying the Bible instead of carrying a gun and learning to shoot.

    There are so many good things she can do at her spare time instead of frequenting the night club and getting wild. What kind of examples is she giving to the Ethiopian girls? So, Elias Kifle, a real journalist, has done an excellent job for exposing her to the world, especially to the United States and to the European Unions that pour millions of money to Meles Seitanawi; they can now understand how their money is being wasted instead of being distributed to the Ethiopian poor children; rather it is used for buying weapons and fancy cars for Meles Family.

    In exposing the daughter of an evil person in such a way to the Ethiopian people, the brave Elias, my hero, has done the right thing, and in doing so, the shame is not on him but on you, Mr. Stop this who cares for the offspring of a criminal person – Meles Seitanawi.

    You asked: “Can you tell us where hatred has brought freedom and liberty?”

    Indeed, hatred brings freedom and liberty; do you think we Ethiopians got our freedom out of our love toward Mussolini? We all hated the Fascists and wanted them to leave our country, and they did. Do you also think our kindness and love toward Meles Seitanawi, his wife, his children, and all his political parties will bring us our freedom and liberty? I don’t think so; therefore, we better hate Meles Seitanawi, his wife, his children, and all his gang squads so that we can be free and happy again after we have driven them out through our hatreds toward them all.

    It is sad to see Meles’ daughter getting wild, and the blame rests on her parents for letting her to be wild. The Holy Bible tells us to bring up our children “in the training and instruction of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4)

  18. Nobody seems to have commented upon this, but what is intruisivly clear is the stamp of poverity that one sees all over these supposedly rich men’s kids.

    Despite the millions of US$ poured upon them, despite all the make-over possibilities, these kids still look wrechedly poor with twisted toenails and all that. You can hardly call them the rich n’ beautiful. It seems money changes nothing!

  19. #13 you said “This is unacceptable. Families are off limit in politics” You must be joking, were you in a deep sleep when Meles killed and sent hundreds of kids to prison for 2005 election? do you think those kids were dogs? yes Meles’s child is fair game, after all when and if Meles die this little agazi will get Ethiopians hard earned money all over the world.The good thing is Meles will go to jail before he die.

  20. In my opinion, it is not right to judge the children of any criminal by their parent’s sin. I do not think Elias Kifle’s himself would accept the idea of his children being judged by his sin and wrongdoing.
    Is it a professional journalism or grudge and hatred spewing political website?
    Elias, you know better than that, you should not release those pictures. Do we have to look Meles’s daughter day to day activity, a picture that have been taken as any teen or do we have to take our eyes off the bigger picture? Are you trying to distract or show us your bravado, and how smart your intelligence gathering techniques are by releasing those pictures? Are you an opportunist politician or a resentful hate monger that uses your “smart business minded head” to hate what you hate? If you are claiming that you are a politician, is this how you are struggling to alleviate the sufferings of Ethiopians under this brutal tyrant? And if you claim that you are a journalist, is this how you take a stolen pictures of some one and put it on your website without the persons consent for public consumption? And for what purpose? This is a politics and journalism at its worst. There are more valuable things to do than releasing a picture of a teenage girl that does not even have a chance to select her parents as the rest of the world’s children.

  21. Abet Abet Elias!!!! mechem atametaw yeleh! Kantega yetetala sew alekelet. Nege demo yazebin photo yizeh ketef indatil! Melese libu ket new yemilew.

  22. Very interesting! Elias anoys me with million things. But, The interview with Isayas and this picture are unique works among our media outlets. I have to say good job on this. I am sure Meles and his woyane buddies will panic. I should have taken a picture of the son of Seyoum Mesfin when i was at AAU. That guy used to drive a unique military car to the campus! I hope some took his pic. This shows the level of corruption and the level of life difference among the rulers and the ruled. That is why we got to WORK to bring change. Talking alone is cheap… do something for the change to come faster.

  23. Shock! but as usual another Ethiopian leader is swimming on begged money, nothing new! Still our 98% people are living in poverty, nothing new too. You may say Meles here or Meles there but look back on Haileselase or Mengistu and now Meles is doing the same sh!t. The question is who will be next? In this case i envy Eritrea.

  24. Elias ,
    What the hell you are doing ?
    Kids have the right to live there own life, Semhal has nothing to do with Meles . Let we judge pople on what they did , not on what there father’s or mother’s do .

    what are you talking abt? don’t you know that the kids will follow their parents foot step?

  25. Enemy is Enemy, all peace loving Ethiopians have to team up for the struggle to freedom by any means possible. We shouldn’t undermine this. It tells a lot; how the corrupt Woyane official’s kids are brought up, the manner they have etc. That is what they believe life is all about at the cost of millions. I will see this as one battle field victory, thanks Elias. IT is as equally important as arms in a battle for freedom.

  26. I think this is getting too far. This is a picture of a teen age girl having fun with her friends. This pictures should have remained strictly private. She is an individual who happens to be the child of Meles Zenawi. It is highly questionable whether this kind of publication is legal. You are doing harm to a teenage girl because you hate her father. It is also shocking to see only some individuals expressed their concern. Applauding this kind of journalism is shameful.

    This is not the way how to struggle against a brutal dictatorship which exists in Ethiopia. This kind of “struggle” is counter-productive and backward. The struggle should be based on principles which are acceptable and forward looking. Resorting to this kind of tactics is the mere manifestation of a moral bankruptcy.

  27. If there was a free media in ethiopia then all this pictures should have been in the front page of all the news paper’s and TV asking the obvious question, can we the rest of Ethiopians take our kid’s inside the Air force camp and let our kid’s pose for a photo next to a fighter jet???? or get to shoot AK 47? To those who ask to live his daughter alone, please think before you start acting all moralistic.

  28. I fear one day she may kill her classimate in UK, kkkkk. Please warn relatives of her classimate to distance their kids from her. She looks bloody in her teenage.
