The Woyanne ethnic apartheid junta in Ethiopia has sent thousands of troops to Sudan in a convoy of over 100 military trucks and equipment late last week, according to eyewitnesses at the Ethiopia-Sudan border.
Ethiopian Review sources have reported that the military convoy was heading to the Sudanese city of Al Qadarif.
Yesterday and today South Sudan is holding a referendum on independence and it is feared that the outcome of the vote could lead to violence, although Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir has said he will let the oil-rich south secede peacefully.
AP has reported that at least 30 people were killed today in Abyei region along Sudan’s north-south border.
United Nations spokesman Martin Nesirky said Monday the organization is “extremely concerned” about the reports of clashes and casualties in Abyei.
“The mission is in the process of confirming the numbers (of casualties), and containing the situation with enhanced patrols and engaging with the top leadership,” Nesirky said at a regular news briefing at U.N. headquarters.
The Woyanne junta is expected to take Khartoum’s side in any dispute, creating a possible favorable environment for Ethiopian opposition groups to establish relations with South Sudan.
AP reports that jubilant voters in South Sudan flooded polling stations for a second day on Monday. The seven days of balloting are likely to produce an overwhelming vote for independence.
U.S. President Barack Obama praised the timely start of the referendum on self-determination for southern Sudan and urged all sides to refrain from intimidation, coercion or violence and to allow voters to freely and peaceably express their will.
“The world will be watching in the coming days,” Obama said in a January 9 statement. He said the United States is fully committed to helping all Sudanese solve post-referendum issues such as borders, refugees and the sharing of oil revenues “regardless of the outcome of the vote.”
Obama warned that some Sudanese may try to disrupt the process, and said voters “must be allowed access to polling stations, and must be able to cast their ballots free from intimidation and coercion.”
“All sides should refrain from inflammatory rhetoric or provocative actions that could raise tensions or prevent voters from expressing their will,” he said, adding that violence in the Abyei region, where 36 people reportedly have been killed since the start of the vote, “should cease.”
U.S. Special Envoy to Sudan Scott Gration and Chairman of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee John Kerry are in Sudan to witness the referendum.
Speaking to reporters January 9, Senator Kerry said the voting “sends an important message about the ability to solve problems in ways other than in choosing violence.”

Aye Elias,
You must be cursed during birth to be such a lousy reporter. Woyanne is very smart and that is why your master and so many failed to defeat it.
All Shaebia supporters will now fill this website with hate mongering among Ethiopians. Ofcourse they will pretend to be Ethiopians. Ethnic based comments, are all the work of Sheabia puppets.
Shaebia excuted our fighters, it should pay for it. Elias has not done any further investigation or report, on the fate of our fighters. What a sad situation.
Hit the iron when it haot. We have to make use of the situation to manipulate to our advantage.
The well known famous actor George Clooney has been working hard to bring peace in Darfur, Sudan, for the last few years and I am sure, he wants to know the dictators who are working against his efforts to bring peace in that devastated country. Elias, please contact Clooney’s organization about this matter and also to bring awareness of what is going on in Ethiopia as well. Thanks Elias, you are doing outstanding job.
Don’t be misled. Woyane went to Sudan at the request of the West to curtail any attempt by the North to deny the oil rich South its freedom. In return the west will lend a blind eye to Zenawi’s human rights atrocities. Beggar/Mafia TPLF may get some coins too.
Baseless report –
Ethiopia stands with North and South Sudan no matter the outcome of the ongoing independence referendum result!!
Weyane/EPRDF are no fools. They are staying out of this!!
“The Woyanne junta is expected to take Khartoum’s side in any dispute, creating a possible favorable environment for Ethiopian opposition groups to establish relations with South Sudan.”
Dear Elias,
It was difficult to understand the purpose of the above opinionated statement. If you will not be able to think in a more sofosticated way you will not play meangingful role in Ethiopian politics.
Weyane does not even have a penny of its own, had it not been for the US tax payers Weyane would have cease to exist. America’s taxpayers are suffering at home so much they are killing their politicians while their money is being inapproriatey spread elsewhere to Africa to promote war, mass killing and Anti-Democractic practices. What a sad thing for America’s unemployed.
Hi! Elias ! Do you really know what you are writing? Don’t you learn from the outcome of ur untactical effort with Shabia! Now I doubt about ur health? To oppose Meles, please don’t write something against the interest of our Country. By any standard there is no such struggle! Give priority to the security of nation rather than your interest! Learn from Americans! They ever never sale their country interest for personal reason that is why they are strong in the globe and succeeded! ( እኔ ከሞትኩ ሰርዶ አይብቀል ከሆነ በግልጽ ንገረን መጀመሪያ አንተን ለመታገል)
#2 no, actually it is good news for us, you guys can go to South-Sudan now, and you will at least stop blaming Sheabia for your own weakness.
#2 ,the real badmestone, you made me lough for you underestimated the readers on this website. you are a clone!
The funny once are Sheabians. You chase them out of Badme, and then they come back to Ethiopian websites to claim that they are alife. You tell them to behave. How much punishment do these shaebians need in order to behave.
The story is coming out now, that Isyas is actully one of Egypt’s generals.
And Isyas need to pay for excuting our fighters.
Shabia is a dead horse that even vultures do not touch its stinking flesh.
We Ethiopians do not need th assistance of neighboring countries to evict Meles from office.
Elias You really need to seek medical attention my bro!!!!!!
#10,
Woyanes like you are always too quick to criticize Elias, and yet, support a dictator that has been working against the best interest of Ethiopia/ns for the last twenty years. Isn’t it Meles that has given our precious fertile land to Sudan and to other foreign countries? Isn’t Meles that has given our only port to Isayass along a gift of a billion Ethiopian Tax Payer money? Isn’t it Meles that has incarcerated, tortured, killed and looted Ethiopians? You and the likes of you who curses and insults Elias, reminds of the lunatic Tea Party member that massacred innocent people and even a nine year old little girl in Arizona.
Ethiopian defence forces are well trained and very disciplined professionals, that is why they are very much respected by friend and foe. You can look up their well-appreciated and often honored peacekeeping efforts all over Africa. It is not like those deplorable soldiers during the Derg era, that were forced to join the army and sent to “yesat Irat” with poor training and inadequate equipment.
Ethiopia will be friends with both South and North, but will never try any military adventure, because we have other challenges that keep us busy than meddling in somebody else’s business.
Good luck to our neighbours
This is a rubbish propoganda….right now I am in Southern Sudan in a place called Aweil and every thing is quite peaceful that does not need any interventions from any country…the current government in Ethiopia is a friend to both North and South and there is no any problem apart from the report we are redaing on Ethiopianreview……rubbish report.
Elias Ebakih Atifoger.
You guys are so funny . Why everything has to do with Eritrea? I know Eritrea is on your bad dreams but I dont excpect from you people to say anything postive about ERitrea when you guys even dont get along with eachother.
Bashir loves Meles!
Elias,
academically you are prefect, but also you have to learn the sychology. It is Weyanes who has encoraged the south Sudan to this stage. Even today, the Weyanes are roaming in southern Sudan every where. Sending troops to Gadarif means death for north Sudan. It can happen that if the war break out in Abeyi, Weyane troops will conduct war in north on Al-bashir. This is CIA’s trap.
Is it your New Year fabricated resolution? I think you should be a nobelist than a jouranlist!!
Thanks
The alleged Ethiopian troops in Sudan is just looks like fabricated one. MY question to Elias is “What is he trying to accomplish by say so”?
Though I don’t believe the independence of Southern Sudan will mean any thing to Ethiopian opposition, commenting on the issue at hand I think the time has come for the people of Sothern Sudan to decide their destiny by exercising their right. In a few weeks we will know what the official results will be. The main concern at this time is election free? Is there peaceful e enough international observers in major voting stations to monitor the process?
Once the actual votes are counted and if it proves that the South won its right for independence, it is over. The official result must stand. The North had failed to accommodate the concerns of the South by not willing to agree on scraping the Sharia code of law in favor of secular legal system aimed at serving the Muslims, the Christians and the Animists. Given this, it is granted, the South will overwhelmingly vote separation over unity. After the official count is determined the Basher government or any other central government can do little about it. If the North resorts to violence as some argue, it is unlikely it will succeed. The oil rich South will have the backing of the western powers against any threat that might come from the North and its traditional allies.
weyane is desperate for foreign currency because of the economic crisis is created in the country and that’s why it sent the troops to Sudan just for money and it is not out of good intention. This is one of it’s dirty tactics to get money out of the gullible ‘Ferengi’. I am sure these bandits are watching the public’s anger and frustration in Tunisia caused by higher prices of goods and services, and they have to do some thing before they face the same fate. Weyane knows full well that they can’t suppress the people forever.

Ertrea is done issue for Ethiopians, it is ony the cloned woyannes who have been dreaming to join you peoples and build greater tegray that could have worked may be for three months and there after the life go on as usual that the Eritreans who takes their brothers in their neighbour hood as second class and backward and primitve to go the second round fight and Eritrea will finish the fight by punching the second class citizens k.o and get enough citizens for their hous work
Southern Sudan will be free and the Sudanese (Albashir) government will be the first to recognize it as TPLF did to Eritrea. No doubt about that. Sudanese stick to their words. Then Independence Seekers from Ethiopia will be emboldened and Ethiopia break into pieces (Gambella, Somali, Oromo, Afar and finally Tigray regions will succeed). The Amhara will form their own state if any land left.
Elias,
What is you motive in writing this crap? You are very much confused and to serve your evil, you are drifting from your topic.
Carte,#28
I agree with you completely.It is bitter pill to swallow but no doubt of Ethiopian’s disintegration, piece by piece, starting with Ogaden and Gambella. I am afraid, Amhara will end up the Kurdistan of Africa unless people get awake from their deep sleep and start to organize.
@Badme stone….. What are you on about or what have you been smoking? No Eritrean has spewed hate mongering here than you do against Eritreans….. You are so wierd that you jumped on Shaebia when the topic is nothing to do with it…… Please stick to the issue. Let go off your shaebia fixation….. Just live your life…..brother. ayzoh.
