Hundreds of angry Ethiopians confronted khat-addicted dictator Meles Zenawi today in Washington DC. Meles was invited by President Obama to discuss food security in Africa, forgetting that it is dictators like Meles who are causing food insecurity.
Supporters of Meles Zenawi — about 40 Woyanne thugs and Solomon Qindibu Tekalign — were their to cheer their murderous boss. When some of them provoked the anti-Woyanne protesters, a fight (better to describe it as a hand-to-hand combat) broke out. The Woyanne thugs were saved by hundreds of riot police who rushed to the scene. Many of the Woyanne thugs suffered broken noses, swollen eyes, and bruised backs. Solomon Tekalign the pig ran like a gazelle to escape.

The thunderous voice of my brave Ethiopian fellow was much much better than expecting the usual lies from the pathetic lier. Abe has exposed his lies over an international stage. If you could understand what he said, they were all questions forwarded to the genocidal dictator.
Bravo Abebe !!! am proud of you.

“Meles was invited by President Obama to discuss food security in Africa, forgetting that it is dictators like Meles who are causing food insecurity.” kkkkkkkkk….
It is like the hungry Hyenas’ gathering to discuss the welfare and food security of the sheep community. Ethiopians may be divided and poor but NOT so much idiots to see cunning foxes dressed in sheep skin and trying to fool the public.
Ethiopia is blessed with abundant green fertile virgin farm lands that can feed NOT only Ethiopians but also the whole of the Horn and the middle east. Hence, the engine and basis of food security is in Ethiopia itself but NOT in the distant USA unless the Pm went to fund Obama’s election campaign and receive in return Obamas blessings to keep dictating poor Ethiopians as well as keep the country impoverished, hopeless and dependent beggar empire like always.
CHAT OR KHAT IS PART OF OUR CULTURE
There is no need for character assassination. Whether the PM is addicted to Chat (khat) is his personal matter, nothing to do with his political views or decision making. After all almost half of Ethiopians consume Chat. Chat is part of the southern and, to some extent, the northern culture. For you, being from deep North, Chat maybe a bad thing. For those Ethiopians of the south, it is part of their culture. Your attempt here to defame the PM not only offends millions, it also creates sympathy for him among the southern. Be careful with your use of word.

Obama Urged to Reassess Ethiopian Relations Over Land Evictions
By William Davison on May 18, 2012
The U.S. should reassess its support for the government of Ethiopia, amid concern that more than half a million people are being evicted to make land available for foreign investment in agriculture, advocacy groups including the Oakland Institute said.
A meeting tomorrow between President Barack Obama and Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, among other African leaders, presents an opportunity for the U.S. to address the issue, the California-based group said in a joint statement with the Solidarity Movement for a New Ethiopia, or SMNE. The U.S. has provided aid worth more than $1 billion a year since 2007 to Ethiopia, according to the statement.
Foreign investment in commercial farming may be the “single largest man-made contributor to food insecurity on the continent today,” they said. “We hope that you will take leadership in responding to an international call asking you to put the brakes on this impending and present-day catastrophe.”
Ethiopia, Africa’s second-most populous nation, is leasing out land to investors to grow cash crops and generate foreign exchange. The government leased 350,096 hectares (865,106 acres) of land to 24 companies, including 10 foreign ones, according to the Agriculture Ministry’s website. Oakland puts the amount of leased land at 3.6 million hectares.
The government denies any connection between land leasing and resettlement programs. The relocation of about 20,000 households in the southwestern Gambella region last year was voluntary and aimed at providing people with access to farmland and public services, Federal Affairs Minister Shiferaw Teklemariam said in an interview in March.
Ambassador Criticized
Oakland and SMNE criticized U.S. Ambassador to Ethiopia Donald E. Booth, citing him as saying people in Gambella benefit from the government’s policies.
“Mr. Booth seems unwilling to acknowledge any of the abuse, violence, or coercion that human rights groups and the media have reported,” they said. The U.S. Embassy in Ethiopia is awaiting approval from Washington for its response to the statement, Diane Brandt, a spokeswoman for the embassy, said by phone today from Addis Ababa.
SMNE, which has branches in the U.K., the U.S. and Canada, advocates “rule of law, respect for human rights, equal opportunity and good governance” in Ethiopia, according to its website. The group’s executive director, Obang Metho, is being tried in absentia in Ethiopia for terrorism.
Horizon Plantations, an Ethiopian company majority owned by Saudi billionaire Mohamed al-Amoudi, criticized Oakland’s association with SMNE. Horizon has leased 20,000 hectares in Ethiopia’s western region of Benishangul-Gumuz to grow groundnuts for edible oil.
“All of the land being given to international investors is the land which is not developed at all,” Horizon General Manager Jemal Ahmed said in a phone interview. “Oakland Institute does not care for Ethiopia. They are doing their best to stop the development taking place by allying themselves with violent and hate-advocating diaspora opposition.”

“…Whether the PM is addicted to Chat(khat) is his personal matter, nothing to do with his political views or decision making. After all almost half of Ethiopians consume Chat…” you wrote ):
If the allegation is true you should know the very fact that there is GREAT DIFFERENCE between the “Chat addict” hallucinated leader governing and leading 90 million Ethiopians and making national and international decisions as well as questions of war and peace, life and death, etc. as opposed to an individual Ethiopian jobless chat consuming person killing time alone while chewing the mentally and physically debilitating narcotic(cocaine)drug.
Watch your words otherwise I will take to the streets with all of my family, friends, village, region and the entire country. Mark my word!
God bless ABEBE GELAW ,please give me chance to say thank-you to your mame who born you.Abebe today you name goes in the book of ethiopian history . I hope one day i will get a chance too.good job !

You are little boys in the candy store. You want to grab everything and have nothing.

Meles, at least, is respected by world leaders and everyone in the political arena.
You, on the other hand, have nothing after staying in the west till you get gray hair in your ass.

Ezana what is your problem with the way Melas was described ? It is not so much about the khat, but , I think it is about the man and his attributes as a head of state. Of course , millions of people in Ethiopia use it as pass time or as booster of energy for their daily activities. So their use of khat does not come in to question as they are ordinary people doing their own thing. But when it is done by Meles it becomes shameful act and deserving public ridicule.

That is very wrong! The PM is like a doctor who is handling a patient with a very chronic disease and 50 other chronic diseases! Leave him alone!
It is really amazing, G8 Discussing Food Security for Africa? The last time G8 nations gathered in Berline Germany in 1896 the cover story was to ‘Civilizing African people’. The result was 19th. century project of colonization of the whole continent. Africans spent the major part of 20th. century to decolonization of their continent. Could this ‘Food Security Agenda’ is ‘Recolonization’ of Africa 21st century project. For that they wanted four corrupt African to get their blessings in exchange for bribe and handout of bags of corn. We see the project written on the walls. If G8 were sincere about Food Security in Africa, then they should have invited President Isaias of Eritrea, the man who knows how to do it, not a bunch of beggars like Meles.
This lunatic brought disgrace to Obama, the host, not to the PM.
“There is no benevolent dictator. The only good dictator is a dead dictator”.

Melese zenawi is a dead dictator. The twenty plus years of lies, deception, killing, looting EXPOSED big time infront of the leader of the free world. Melese would rather comit divide than return to a country be doest belong. I have no doubt his end will be similar to that of Samuel for of Liberia. Shamless TPLF mercenary.
Shame to you Meles Corocodile Zenawi. Any way we hate you Mr. Block-head.
You smell dead GOAT ZENAWI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The dictator was mad today! I am sure dictator’s lawyers are already filing charges against Abebe Gelaw for acting in uncivil and unprofessional way.He might lose his license to work as a standard journalist if he has a license. He has a right to ask him any challenging questions but as a journalist( I don’t think he was allowed to attend the meeting as an activist) he is not entitled to shout and insult an honorable guest of POTUSA-his excellence the dictator PM Zena.
If Abebe Gelaw has a license, he might lose. It will not hurt him much as a journalist for the Ethiopian community but he may not be able to attend international meetings or do journalistic activity on American issues as a member of the national press club.

True Ethiopians would proud of you Abebe Gelaw! You are one person for your mom but a thousand for your enemies. You make reliable history over the coward Tigrian-Eritrean mixed tyrant Meles. Your patriotism over the dictator is surprising. I look and understand that how the blood sucker of Ethiopians is ugly and coward. I am a Tigrian but in my life I don’t see such to extremely coward person from Tigray like meles. Since most of the TPLF tyrants are from the banda’s family they don’t have full confidence on the innocent people of tigray as well as on Ethiopians especially on the Amhara people. Therefore, let we Ethiopians unite to eradicate them from our motherland soon. Shame on the American president Obama and the ignorant and hodam Meles supporters. Time for the end of tyrant era is comming soon. Those shameful hodams and cadres let stand with the people of Ethiopia, otherwise the judgment for your crime on the Ethiopian people is eminent. Thank you Abebe Gelaw. God Bless Ethiopia.

This type of sestainable policy is what Africa needs. Instaid Meles the beggar is in the white house I think that’s very laughable.

sami,
How laughable is that! You think telling the truth is Character Assassination and you bark at Ethiopians like Elias who are trying to stop the suffering of Ethiopians at the hands of one of the most hateful creature ever born on the face of the earth! I Wonder, how much money you get paid to support the undeniably, world known bloodsucker dictator every chance you get! It is a known fact in history that, people who lack conscience and compassion for others cannot help it and they always support and see evil dictators like Meles, Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin as great leaders. What a great shame! For the sake of innocent Ethiopians who are suffering needlessly at the hands of Meles and his thugs, may God give people like you hearts, eyes and ears, to feel and understand, to see and hear, the hurt, agony and pain, the tears and cries of innocent Ethiopians.

What a week end we had, for good or bad. First of all I will like to apologize for the comments I made the last couple of times, I think I could express my opinion in a more civil way. However, the action of Abebe was a little to crazy too, especially for a journalist of his statue. I know sometimes emotion get over us and we act in uncivilized way, but I think there are better ways to do things. Anyways, I will take this opportunity to clarify myself and express my takes about the state of Ethiopia.
It is indubitable fact that in recent years the image of Ethiopia has been in a more positive tone than it has ever been in many years. Ethiopia is scoring a high rate of Economic growth from time and again and the country is getting a much needed attention from the world body. I know, some of you mainly in the diaspora are very skeptical or in denial of the facts and just like to criticize the government of Ethiopia for what hasn’t been fully accomplished, like the uncontrolled rate of inflation, income inequality and some freedom issues. However, I don’t think it is wise and fair to look only the negatives aspects and give a blind eye for many of the positive things achieved, because things aren’t that black and white. May be if it helps I will try to give my perspective of Economics in general and relate the situation in Ethiopia and explain why I think everything isn’t doom and gloom in that country.
Economics by its basic nature is a give and take phenomenon and usually when you fix one problem you might create another one. A good example can be, the actions taken after 2008 worldwide recession, as we been observing many western countries have to spend a lot of many in order to foster grow while piling up a lot of debt. What is happening in Ethiopia in recent years is not any different, as we know there is a massive investment on infrastructures, housing projects, agriculture, industry, education and other by the government to lay a fundamental foundation for the economy. It is a no brainer that for growth and transformation of one country a well-developed infrastructure is very crucial. To move goods around, there need to be a sufficient road networks and other means of transportations like a train. To grow the industry sector there have to be an abundant energy supply, raw material and skilled personals. To have a very productive agriculture, there have to be advance farming system.
So the question is, how does the government of Ethiopia fund all this investment? The answer is mainly by borrowing from the banks and other countries and some of it from donation and other is by printing more money, and rest is by raising revenue through taxation and other ways. When the government borrows excessively and prints lots of money without balancing, it leads to a high circulation of money in the system and that lower the value of the currency and leads to inflation, noting that there are also a number of other factors which create inflation, domestic and global, energy crisis is one it. So, even if I believe the government should try hard to ease the out of control inflation, a continuous effort of more investment on infrastructure in Ethiopia is a very good idea. Ethiopia is a very poor country and there are not many choices other than taking strategic risks to grow the economy and there isn’t a magic bullet to solve the many problems we have. I believe give and take the country is heading the right direction. I think ones we have many roads, when there is sufficient energy source, when there is a good network system, and when more people educated, more opportunities will be created and more people will have higher income and life will get better. It is not gone be easy, there will be many bumps on the way, but I’m sure with courage and perseverance we can get ourselves out of the ditch we been buried for many years.
I consider myself an independent person not a diehard supporter of EPRDF or a hater. Hating each other or hating the government with a blind eye, because the government is not doing everything what we want, or by seeing everything from only ethnic point of view is not a good idea. I don’t consider EPRDF leadership as the ideal one I envision for my country, but I don’t want hold them accountable for every wrong in that country too.
Here are some of the credits I think the government deserve, the building of the Abay dam and other dam, the incredible progress of the Ethiopian Airlines, the development in the education and health sector, the effort of the government to attract more foreign investment and other. It is very surprising and even shocking when I see people criticize the building of Abay and also want to boycott one of our much respected Airlines, it is very crazy. Anyways, there is no government in the world who will able to satisfy 100% of its society. Melse is by no means comparable to Hitler, and I don’t think he is working day night for the destruction of Ethiopia, given some of the problems in his leadership and the system as a whole. I also don’t think everything what he say is a lie. I’m sure history will judge him better.
I was an enthusiastic supporter of Kinjet 5 years ago and support them financially when they came to USA, but I have evolved since then and become more independent. I am not happy with everything what I’m seeing in Ethiopia and it hurts me a lot to see the suffering of the people, but I just have a feeling things will get better sooner than later with all the problems. I love my country to death, and pray every day and try hard to contribute my share to see shiny days ahead. You guys my call me naïve or other, but I am somehow different than majority of you guys who comment in this website is not because hoping to get any special deal from the government or other, It is maybe I see things differently. Peace and prosperity for our country. Those of you who like to criticize for my English; I will say it is not my major or my native language.

Sami (woyanne rat)
You do the dirty job and that is defending a criminal and earned a ferfari from the same thief enjoy your lasting days before paying for the crimes that you have done during the shifta era.
Abebe Gellaw, Thank you Very much !
You just hit a milestone !
Wonderful Ethiopian, Brave Ethiopian.
I have run out of words !
O! ABEBE GELLAW; what a hero, what a hero, what a hero man !!! you deserve to be termed as the hero of the year 2004 EC ! you cannot imagine, our hero ABEBE, how much we owe you for that heroic deed you have performed, you are a precious son of the broad Ethiopian people , you have voiced the voice of our voiceless people who are daily under a terribele predicament due to the very notorious butcher & dictator man so called meles.How would our people rejoice over this if they could watch the infliction you caused on this fascist man who is killing them , persecuting them and displacing them !!!
ABEBE; I REALLY HAVE NO WORDS; BLESS YOU DEAR FELLOW ETHIOPIAN BROTHER !
Abebe great hero. You did good job.Every body knows about him now
and he went to hell for the 10 seconds. Good job God bless you.You gave for the Ethiopian people happiness.

“…You think you achieved something by shouting and telling false success story (if you ever have one)
Meles, at least, is respected by world leaders and everyone in the political arena.” you wrote
How come baby? :)
I think that you mean, “Meles, at least, is respected by world LOOTERS and everyone in the stealing arena” Hmmm…
Otherwise, world leaders are the ones who are fighting all of these tyrannical looters and they are the clear majority in the same way that the clear majority of Ethiopians oppose tplf minority shooting and looting, though lacking voices.
Besides, even in the forum’s conference hall where Abebe was humiliating the dictator face to face, all other leaders and other participants seem to have been very happy for hearing the truth out side of the repeat and too boring folktales of PM Meles.
“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”
~Buddha :)
I AM PROUD OF ABEBE…KEEP UP!
AND
SHAME ON YOU MS. MELES….ASS HOLE!!!!
Wait Waite a minute..President obama should invite a true african leader who overcome food shortage in short period of time with a simple princple help your self or self relaince. Now we are witnes to an electric shock wave blow to Meles from his coutry man, what a shame to africa particular to ethiopia.we africans we need to uderstand this world game.
#31.joro,
“Kinigit,OLF, ONLF,G7 ..never made Melese to pee on himself, bit Abebe did!!!” you stated :)
To the long standing formal(bureaucratic) toothless barking of these and similar groups the PM is used and have developed immunities and none penetrable THICK skin.
To the current mode of open face to face individual opposition in a secure place and time where the PM least expected the PM is shocked beyond repair. In a 21st century opposition you may not always need a million men march to the PM’s palace on the hill, close to Sheik Al Amoudi’s Sheraton Hotel. Even an individual from the streets can send direct paralyzing shock wave that may even cause heart attack and ….
Be careful though for causing irreparable damage and feeling guilty and cry too much after the fact since PM Meles is not anymore a young and healthy man like me and you. And that may be also what all the opposition organizations you have mentioned might be brooding day and night on end.
If brooding may be an end in itself, then why is it necessary to be forced to be innovative and do something else? :)
Jemal Ahmed
You are exploiting the land of the diasspora oppsition taking their mother land hostage associating with the wrist watch donated to Ethiopia as a gift by the C.I.A (Mellese Zenawi)there are some proverbs in amharic that fits you as a picture (Ye leba Ayne Derek )or
(Wusha bebelabet yichohal)and your boss the arab tujar a comiker or clown is also a financial wing made for the same purpose woyanne was adviced to get such a guy before being enabled to power.
So jemal it is better for you to pissed off to where you belong along with your financier and give back the land to the owner (The diasspora opposition )You also tries to low the demand to hate do you like a rat that trashes your kitchen all the way from birth, you guys along with the woyanne pm are all seen the way either as a proxy occupier,or a shifta gang that rapes mother land by Ethiopians (Diasspora opposition)Oak land institute is too high to be criticized by your caliber that only makes you laughable.
If each and every one of us do like Abebe Gwlaw did, we long ago have got our freedom and rights, we long ago could push off weyane elites in to the LEMALEMO gorge once and for all not to return again. As the fantastic saying goes “ freedom is not given but taken”. What happened has happened, no time to talk about the undid things in the past. Let us make free ourselves!! Weyane has been in power for two decades and plus one year not because its strength, its because of our weakness. We always have a chance to bring a democratic change in Ethiopia as far as we work hard without fail.
The fate of melese zenawe would be the same to that of the ex-dictator, the late Sadam Husen, I’m not a fortune taller but I can say it!!
Azeb Gola cut short of her shopping trip mid-air to receive her husband who received lightening lsashes on the ass.
Head in a wrong parayer posture,Zinawi, whose criminal career spanned decades visibly disloved like sugar cube in a pool of shame.Obviously,Madame Azeb Gola will not ignore the man returns home boy with a shrug.Although,Zinawi was not her first romance,she took him for family background reason.Both had crissis in life;Azeb Gola was smuggled out into the Sudan at only 15.She lived life in the red district,then was smuggled back to where she was,then met a bank robber who escaped with a big heist.
It is very likely that Zinawi had his prayers answered.Billions of stolen dollars in his bank account and gallons,and gallons of blood in his hands,in undated interview,Zinawi expressed his wish,”I want to rest.” He was not very specific wheather he wants to rest in peace or in humilation.
Here comes humelation.Zinawi will be the first and the last the living- dead dictator to be dishonored in front of the world community.
Somebody said that he should ask him some intellectual questions and disgrace him but what can he ask meles, what kind of answer you are going to expect from this dictator, even if he ask a questions Meles will twist the word without answering the real question Abebe Gelaw is the man of the year, he makes the dictator naked
so Gelaw or Galaw trust me you will be screaming for nothing for the rest of your life like Tamagne Beyene

tewardina !!! never saw our Pm shocked like this ,do you think the guy could have a chance to ask question , never ,,sure if he had achance he could have humulated the Pm by bombarding his evil history and plan of distroying ethiopia , but the point is Abbe is smart and he knows the us Gov. never accuse him for his action, they have experience that one journalist throw a pair of shoes on their former president . you will see next time the diaspora gonna kick every terran out from the compound . hope the Pm stays at home and not dare to attend any respectful meeting , he do not deserve to sit next to obama and others .
The respected, the educated, and the human rights warrior Abebe Gelaw,
spoke what is in the minds of 75 million, out of 80 million Ethiopians. The remaining 5 Million are Woyanes and their boot lickers. Abebe really spoke on behalf of the voicelesses in Ethiopia. Ethiopia and Ethiopians are and will be proud of his action. If there was (is) freedom of expression in Ethiopia, 75 Million ethiopians would have affirmed that Meles is a tiny dictator, that most people need freedom with bread, that bread without freedom is worthless, people can’t only live with bread their also need freedom and soul.
