On Monday, February 7, Ethiopians in Washington DC will shut down the Woyanne regime- occupied Ethiopian embassy starting at 8:30 in the morning to bring attention to the people of Ethiopia’s demand for an end to Meles Zenawi’s dictatorship.
Similar activities are being planned by Ethiopian civic and political groups around the world. More updates later.
In Ethiopia, the capital city Addis Ababa, where African leaders thieves are currently holding a conference, is tense as tens of thousands of troops patrol the streets. Although there is a news blackout of the uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, the people of Ethiopia are getting information from various sources and are closely watching developments.
With all the repressive measures the Meles regime has been taking to prevent an uprising, many of the regime’s officials know that their time is running out and they have taken their family members out of the country.
The people of Ethiopia need to also start preparing themselves. Ethiopians in the Diaspora have the responsibility to advise their families back home to start preparations. Ethiopian Review recommends the following:
1. Take your money out of banks so that your family will not be stranded without money in the event that the uprising forces the banks to be closed for a long duration. Woyanne is looting the banks, so by the time they are ousted, some of the banks may not exist any more.
2. Stock up on food, drinking water and other basic supplies that could last you several weeks.
3. Identify and expose Woyanne spies who are assigned to neighborhoods. Send their names and photos to Ethiopian Review and other media. They will be the ones who would lead Meles Zenawi’s death squads to the door steps of protest organizers and opposition leaders.
4. Reach out to members of the armed forces and educate them about their duty, which is to the people and not the dictator.
Ethiopian Review is closely monitoring developments in Ethiopia and will update it readers on a regular basis.
