To return a favor to Egypt for helping Meles and gang come to power in Ethiopia, one of the first things genocidal thug Meles Zenawi did was to fly to Cairo and sign a secret agreement with Egypt’s President Mubarak.
The July 1993 accord signed in Cairo strips Ethiopia of its right to use the Nile River for development schemes. Article 6 of the accord states:
The two parties agree on the necessity of the conservation and protection of the Nile Waters. In this regard, they undertake to consult and cooperate in projects that are mutually advantageous, such as projects that would enhance the volume of flow and reduce the loss of Nile Waters through comprehensive and integrated development schemes.
In other words, Ethiopia must first get approval from Egypt before undertaking any development projects on Nile. (Read the full text here.)
In December 2009, Meles signed another agreement with Mubarak affirming Egypt’s quota over Nile, as reported by Al Aharam (click here to read).
The Meles-Mubarak bilateral agreements had angered the other Nile basin countries while boosting Egypt’s position.
Nowadays, desperate for diverting attention from the May 2010 election fiasco and growing domestic problems, the Meles regime is attacking Egypt over Nile River. In the process, Meles is dragging the region into yet another crisis.
Having said that, Egypt must respect Ethiopia’s rightful ownership of Nile. Egypt’s police must also stop its barbaric act of shooting poor Ethiopian immigrants in the back while they try to cross into Israel.
The planned meeting this week in the U.S. between representatives of the legitimate Ethiopian Orthodox Church’s Holy Synod that is currently in exile and the illegal synod that is in Addis Ababa has failed before it even started.
The Holy Synod has issued a press release explaining why the McLean, Virginia, meeting did not occur. Click here to read.
Chapter representatives and central committee members of Ethiopian People’s Patriotic Front (EPPF) held a worldwide conference on August 1, 2010, and have passed a 14-point resolution on problems facing the organization and measures that need to be taken to fix them.
The conference was attended by EPPF chapters from Europe, USA and Canada, as well as several central committee members.
EPPF is an armed resistance movement that has a great deal of potential in helping bring about change in Ethiopia. Unfortunately, the organization has been plagued with deep corruption and the leadership is infiltrated by some individuals who have ulterior motives.
A serious effort is now being made by a highly committed group of individuals to rid EPPF of corruption, nepotism, parochialism and incompetence. Those who are resisting change for their own personal interests — some are profiting from the organization — have recently started to mount a counter offensive by trying, through backdoor dealings, to reverse decisions made at EPPF’s General Assembly last February. These corrupt individuals have also started to appear on some internet discussion forums and publicly attack central committee members who are pushing for change. This has prompted all EPPF chapters in the Diaspora and central committee members to convene a conference on Sunday, August 1, and state their positions clear by passing a resolution.

In December last year, Meles Zenawi signed an agreement with Cairo acknowledging Egypt’s quota over Nile River. The agreement was revealed by Egyptian newspaper Al Aharam (click here to read). Now, 7 months later, the head of Ethiopia’s genocidal junta is sending his agents to the Diaspora to agitate Ethiopians about Ethiopia’s right to use Nile water.
It’s obvious that Meles and gang have started to talk about Nile to divert people’s attention from domestic troubles. It is a strategy right out of Wag the Dog. Although there is no doubt that Ethiopia has rightful ownership over Nile, the most urgent demand of Ethiopians at this time is the removal of the Woyanne cancer, not the use of Nile River.
In a campaign to divide Ethiopians in the Diaspora, Meles has given instructions to Woyanne cadres and bootlickers such as Solomon Tekalign to organize protest rallies against Egypt. The Viagra-addicted Al Amoudi is financing the operation, paying for transportation and hotel accommodation of those who take part in the rallies and meetings.
Netsanet LeEthiopia Radio has an interesting discussion on the topic with Ato Neamin Zeleke, Ato Tamagn Beyene And Ato Abebe Belew on last Sunday’s program. Click below to listen.

Ethiopians in Europe who are attending their annual festival in Amsterdam this week have attacked a Woyanne cadre who dared to wear a t-shirt with Meles Zenawi’s photo and walk in their midst.
After getting what he deserved, the cadre ran away and later came back with police officers. The Ethiopians told the officers that the fool was wearing a t-shirt bearing the picture of a mass murderer. They explained that it is like carrying Hitler’s photo at a Jewish festival. Many of the people at the Amsterdam festival have been traumatized and forced into exile by Meles Zenawi. The police understood the situation and took the guy away with an advise not to return.
Ethiopian Review has learned that the cadre had arrived in Amsterdam just 2 days ago from Ethiopia, and some suspect that he was sent to the festival to measure the mood of Ethiopians in the Diaspora.
Addis Dimts radio will air special program on Tuesday and Wednesday starting at 7 PM about the protest rally by Ethiopians and American-Ethiopians in the Washington DC area against China’s destructive policy on Ethiopia.
Addis Dimts is transmitted on 1390 AM Washington DC.
The protest rally at the China embassy in Washington DC will be held this coming Thursday at 9:00 AM.
China has been providing financial and technical support to the genocidal regime in Ethiopia that have enabled Meles and gang to deny the people of Ethiopia access to news web sites, radio and TV. The latest to be affected by Chinese technical assistance is Ethiopian Satellite Television (ESAT) that was jammed last week.
Technology provided by China has also allowed the Meles regime to block most Ethiopian news web sites, including EthiopianReview.com, as well as VOA and DW.
