Some 70 Ethiopian and Eritrean physicians who work and reside in the United States held a meeting with Woyanne agent Girma Birru in Old Town Alexandria Hilton Hotel near Washington DC over the weekend.

The meeting was organized by Meles Zenawi’s physician and investor Dr Mulai Teklu Yohannes and Dr Tesfaye Demmisie Fanta of North Carolina.

The purpose of the meeting was to raise funds for building a referral hospital in Addis Ababa. Girma Birru asked the physicians to contribute $30,000 each for the project. He also asked them to buy bond for the fake Nile Dam Project.

Many of the physicians who attended the Woyanne meeting are residing in the U.S. as political refugees, and yet they attend a fund raising party that is organized by the same regime they fled from.

The physicians also must have failed to understand that the Woyanne junta has no intention of building a hospital. The existing hospitals in Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa, such as Tikur Anbessa, are so dilapidated and neglected that patients go there to die. Addis Ababa’s biggest hospitals look like morgues. But Woyanne has enough money to spend over $100 million for buying tanks.

The main reason that the 70 doctors who met with Girma Birru have sought asylum in the U.S. is because they were unable to live freely and make a living in their own country. So if these physicians are genuine about helping their people back home, they need to speak out against the injustice in Ethiopia. If they are not willing to do that, the least they can do is not give money to the genocidal Woyanne junta.

SHARJAH, UAE (Khaleej Times) — An Ethiopian housemaid fell to death from the balcony of the 21st floor apartment of an Arab family in Al Majaz area of Sharjah on Friday evening.

The police were informed that a 23-year-old housemaid working for an Arab family had fallen to death, said Major Mohammed Saeed Al Shehhi, Director of the Media and Moral Guidance Department at Sharjah Police.

“A team from the Criminal Investigation Department and police rescue arrived the scene and found the woman already died. The corpse was first taken to the Kuwait Hospital but later it was transferred to the police forensic laboratory to help the investigations,” he said.

Col. Abebe Geresu, founding and executive committee member of Tinsae Ethiopia Patriotic Union (Tinsae Ethiopia), has been arrested in Eritrea, according to Ethiopian Review sources.

Tinsae Ethiopia’s executive committee has confirmed the information, but added that the case is being handled diplomatically.

The Tinsae Ethiopia leadership also expressed its concern for Col. Abebe’s health since he has diabetes and that his doctors instructed him to seek medial attention abroad shortly before he was arrested.

Col. Abebe was picked up from Nyala Hotel in Asmara a few weeks ago and his current whereabouts are unknown, sources said.

He is the second high level official of Tinsae Ethiopia to have disappeared in Eritrea since 2010.

It’s to be remembered that Col. Tadesse Muluneh, who is also a founding and executive committee member of Tinsae Ethiopia, disappeared in Eritrea in October 2010 and that the Government of Eritrea has not been willing to inform any one about his status.

Tinsae Ethiopia is trying to exhaust its diplomatic efforts to have both of its executive committee members freed before releasing any official statement, its leadership said.

Prior to his arrest, Col. Abebe gave an interview to the Las Vegas-based Helina Radio on the unity of Ethiopia and other issues (click here to listen).
