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.

Throughout his life,at age 20,30,40,50,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67 Zinawi lived murder,lie,looting,and robbery.Prior to his entering Ethiopia disguising as someone else,Zinawi committed crimes on humanities in a largescale.Sold tones of donated food which was supposed to be delivered to the hungry and bought a large quantity of weapons ahead of the invasion;the hungry perished in vain while waiting for life-saving food.He immediately turned into a sadistic and broke human boundry.Zinawi ordered the dispatch of his invading robers allover and accross the country.It was an act of aggression directing anger and revenge at the population.The invading robbers then quickly moved into villages, towns,cities,and neighbourhoods,and borke into homes and vandalized the lives of the families.
The same kind of behaviour has been observed in a rubber parliament that he organized to his liking and taste.There,he grossly misbehaved and threw insults on the public.He was heartless jerk;then come on a big TV screen and lied about his victims.
Today,everything and anything that is available below and above the lands in Ethiopia is owned,controlled,and run by Zinawi,Zinawi’s family,and the men and women who surround him.
In sum,as history demonstrated,justice would always prevail.Today, Zinawi is on the top list as the most human rights violator.
One thing that makes me sad is when tigrians take begging as a pride. This midgit maggot comes to the free world with a assylum collecting plate wearing a $3,000.00 suit. These beggar couneries are always invited where ever the G-8 meeing is held. For our beggar matter OF FACT begging is a pride, because he is a proud tigrian
Folks! AVOID like the PLAGUE falling in to the useless contradictions and traps of putting freedom aginst the need for basic food security and freedom from hunger. First and foremost,it is BAD politics because you cannot choose between basic freedom of expression and basic freedom from hunger simply because they go hand in hand since freedom is also freedom from hunger as well as freedom for self expression and democracy as opposed to freedom of begging to eat.
Democracy, freedom of expression, freedom from hunger, etc. are all one and the same basic human needs. And you cannot claim that one basic human need is more important than another basic human need of the same category.
If you cannot eat you cannot fight.
If you cannot fight you cannot be free.
By arguing that we need freedom rather than food we are implying that these gathering and the assembled dictators are there to provide food to the starving population which is far from the truth. Remember the fact that most of those dictators and their activist cadres are gathering at the World Economic Forum mainly NOT to make food available(freedom from hunger)for all the needy majority but to device clever and tricky methods of modern day fertile farm land (Green Gold) and other valuable resources grabbing from under the feet of the starving resource owners and let them perish slowly but surely. Robbing some 99.6% of other peoples’ valuable resources and in return giving some 2% crumbs in the form of food aid which may not even satisfy 1% of the basic food needs of the population is not feeding the population but stealing, cheating and fooling the population to death. Otherwise why do the 85 million Ethiopians constantly live in misery, complete underdevelopment, starvation, refugeeism and die performing slave labour in the Arab world and elsewhere?
Why do masses of Africans flee their resource rich continent,some dying along the road, others on arrival, others living in concentration camps even after arrival to the promised land?
Democracy, justice and freedom for all is the way!

but Abebe said, he does not want food, but freedom? that is the condraction? First thing first, second things second. I have to eat first before anythng else. I am not saying we have to be oppressed. But I can not talk about American democracy without eating food. We do not need also importing American democracy. you will develop our own.

They is already food with fertile land in Africa! They is no FREEDOM to work on this lands, where criminals like Meles is busy selling the land to his masters. You get it!
Jegna Abebe Gelaw, Akorahen…..
Woyane sympathizers are not supporting the dictator they are screaming for help to keep what they looted because of the dictator. They want to have their cake and eat it too. Typical criminals do not defend their behavior they kill the messenger that expose it. Do not blame Woyanes they are drunken with the blood of Ethiopians to protect their loot.
Any woyane that comes here to defend the dictator is afraid of the truth. They know the truth will send them all in jail where they belong. Since they can’t face the truth killing the messenger is their next best option they do to survive.
Look how ridicules Woyanes sound. They think ETV is the truth. It is like saying I will tell the truth about myself. They sound toddlers in a dipper in a grown up body. The problem is because they lie to themselves they do not smell their own stink to change their dipper. That is why their brain seized and their belly screams.
What a life

That is exactly the right. They are equating Meles and TPLF as Tigray. They believe if they preserve Meles and Tplf then Tigrayans will be protected. They beleive Tigray has existed and has been there only because of Meles and Tplf. Tigrayans, are you saying you were never part of 3000 years history? Do you think you were just created by Meles and TPLF?
They are campaigning any thing that is against Meles and TPLF. Perhpas they should go to near Ethiopians and ask who Ethiopians are if they are scared of them. Ethiopians have always known Tigrayans are not against them but TPLF and Meles. Apparently some are trying to link and have benefited under this regime just for being Tigrayans. Meles or TPLF can’t exist if they don’t get support from majority Tigrayans, by appointing them to good positions and wealthy. Still, Ethiopians are not seeking revenge on those but to remove TPLF and Meles who is destroying other Ethiopians which is not fair. There are genuine Tigrayans who believe that this minority should rule because they don’t want to lose their wealth and power, this means they are standing against the rest of Ethiopians and that the minority cannot rule the majority especially ORomos and Amara. With understanding of this, they much relinquish power and let equality prevail meaning of course all ethnic groups will not be in offices for the mere being certain ethnic group but, to distribute power where, obviously the majority will be recognize, which is the fact that they are Oromos and Amaras however, every other ethnic group also must hold office. Then appoint only based on merit and accomplishments. Based on merit in reality should be appointed. Merit meaning: your profession, experience, wisdom, talent, the ability to bring peace, development, equality etc. However, in reality, professions during our experience of bad leaderships has shown us that it has favored the pro ethnic groups past and present so it will be unfair for those who were not recognized based on their ethnic groups and therefore have lost the chance of profession. That is reason the power should be distributed based on majority, give every ethnic a chance and profession. It has to be mix of everything to distribute power and decision making in Ethiopia.
Abebe Gelaw,
What a wonderful show of courage! What you said in those few minutes will be recorded in history as one of the major events in the movement to get rid of Meles Zenawi. You gave the midget dictator a shock treatment he will never recover from. Keep speaking truth to power. All true Ethiopians support you.
Good job abebe god bless you
Breaking News: Meles got sick and getting medical treatment by his presidential Medical Doctors. Stay ton!
Meles was crying on the Back and asked his Body Guards to quit.
Even if you notes, one of his Body Guard was Laughing and Looked little Meles on his right eyes. That was the Dream our Ethiopian Hero Abebe Gelaw did a History. Ok, one down.Abebe response to Araya that we have Belt around our waist not Netela.Well done Brother Man.
The so- called journalist proved his craziness in front of the audience. This is so shameful act. The first thing that will come to everybody’s head will be “he must have forgotten to take his Psyc medication this morning”. He must be by polar or something. MAFERIA!!

Hiwot( Kicham ras woyanne)
It amazes me really that you know the word Maferia as a woyanne as your one step move 24 hours and 21+ years is only maferia maferia and maferia and collection of illitrates and liers your 1 minute stay in Ethiopia is a total disgrace.
Desperation of the diaspora. We understand your plight and home sickness.
Your wasted time abroad won’t compensate for your deep rooted hatred towards a regime that has transformed the Fatherland once and for all.
50+ years you have been barking and complaining about the Fatherland.
If you believe that you can offer the people of Ethiopia new ideas
and have the potential to do better please move back.
The time of cheap talk is no alternative.
We understand your frustration. We wish we can be of help.
Next time please make sure to try to open a dialogue instead
of screaming with no substance.
Terrorist Meles is back to his fiefdom, Ethiopia, to continue terrorizing the Ethiopian people and to keep plotting against them and their interests. Tyrant Meles went back with his head down and with a slow-acting (silent) fatal stroke he sustained from the lightning blow delivered by our gallant award winning world class journalist Abebe Gellaw last week in Washington, D.C. It does not require to be a prophet to say that this heroic act of our hero Abebe Gellaw on that fateful day of the 18th of May of the year 2012 has a far reaching cascading effect and is no doubt a turning point in the struggle of the Ethiopian people for freedom, dignity and democracy. The terrorist mafia camp run by the ringleader Meles is already in more crises and visibly in disarray after the incident. Terrorist Meles is wounded irredeemably and broken beyond repair by this spectacular attack. The Meles terrorist camp is burning and raging like the wildfire in the deserts of California in the middle of the peak of hot summer. The wildfire is all out there for all to see it through the screens of computers. The thunderous bell of ‘FREEDOM, FREEDOM, FREEDOM’ that rang and echoed in the halls of the Reagan Building in Wash., D.C. last week, through the impeccable and succinct voice of our gallant journalist Abebe Gellaw, will continue to reverberate and resonate throughout Ethiopia until freedom day comes. I would like to assure you that that day is not far off. I would say that this is just the beginning and portends what is in store for terrorist Meles and his gullible hodam henchmen, sycophants, ass-kissers and hirelings. We will liberate you minions from the slavery by terrorist Meles you are in. Our struggle for freedom and liberty will free you up from worshipping the terroristringleader, Meles. It will make you regain your dignity if there is any left in you. I can’t thank you enough Abe for rekindling the fire that is engulfing and destroying the Meles terrorist camp. I would like also to thank Mr. Obama from the bottom of my heart for bring in terrorist Meles to this stinging humiliation. Thank you so much also for shunning terrorist Meles. Terrorist Meles’s picture in the vicinity of Mr. Obama is no where to be seen. Even Meles’s lie factory, a.k.a. ETV, has been unable to come up with a single shot in the whole shenanigan. This clearly shows that President Obama has shunned terrorist Meles. Thank you Obama and I have your back.
Some of the people who comes from Dedebit think like animal they think that the hero is measured in how many peoples blood have on his hand.you gays go to ESAT and learn the power!Abebeb is Hero.
I know Abebe since his time at AAU. He is eloquent and smart. I wish he could ask Meles tough questions instead of trying to embarrass him in front of all the people. For better or worse (legal or illegal), Meles represents all Ethiopian people as a PM. What happened was that simple frustration got the best of Abebe. Trying to embarrass Meles would not do any good …to any political cause. Though I admire Abebe’s courage….the courage could have been used productively in a civilized and productive manner. For example he simply could ask about imprisoned journalists and activists…and why there is no freedom in Ethiopia although the government says otherwise. Once we become emotional it is hard to be rational….this is the curse of Ethiopian politics…wherever it is and whoever practices it.

Dawit,
The way you put it is in a cool way. I think you are cool. But the situation we are in is not that cool.
Ethiopians have been nice to this Tigrian ethenic apartide junta for the last 20 years. What did we get out of it? More oppression, more eviction, more imprisonment, more torture, more death, more…., more….. . Now Ethiopians have started using any means necessary to voice their grievances. And by the way that “BALL EYED MIDGET” is not Ethiopians’ PM. He is our killer. We can not tolerate him any more.
Dawit, how did you see the demonstration outside the Reagan building? Was it civilized and productive? For us it was very CIVILIZED and very PRODUCTIVE. Ethiopians had a lot of civilized protests in the past, but they never got any news coverage. But this time the world got the chance to know the real nature of this Midget. Weather we like it or not there are more things to come. Ethiopians have said “BEKA” to this Midget.
Dawit! When you deal with an animal be an animal. If you want to deal with it in a “civilized way” you will pay dearly, like we paid for the last 20 years.

Long live Ethiop[ia and death for Shabia!!!
To Sami Gebru, what an idiot are you? You want Abebe to raise his hand like a school kid and ask the devil? You must be out of your mind. Sami you should consult your mentor ethiomedia before you open ur big mouth.
Hi Everyone,
It is good to see how Ethiopian are united in terms of protesting in one language. The dictators don’t like to see when Ethiopian speak one language I think that is why the dictators are working hard to divide the citizen in language, culture and religion. What happen to Voa I was expecting something to hear from it especially after the interruption of Meles’s speech. The interruption was needed to show the dictator how Ethiopian are united and one in terms of unity. But why voa hide the reality? This is unanswered question to me, because we cannot forget the role of voa Amharic service during Mengistu’s dictator regime. But now what happened? I was expecting something from voa but there was nothing rather than voa’s effort to exaggerate the numbers of supporter of Meles instead the reality. I am telling voa something true, America is always stand with the people not with the dictator as we are witnessing what happened in Egypt and other countries, ultimately America will stand with the people, voa amharic must know that. You may support Meles Zenawi , why you hide the truth you guys are in America where the Bill of Right is well respected, and the free country in terms of the right of press and speech. Whom you afraid of? Now to me voa is no more the credible source of news no more ! but the supporter of the dictators. I must tell you the truth right now you will be embarrassed when America will come to hear the people of Ethiopia instead the dictator. We cannot define Ethiopia based on and Meles’s relatives and cousins success and accomplishment, because there is no reason that Meles represents the people of Ethiopia. While the price of everything and is sky rocketing. Voa please change your political arena and stand with the people based on the worst case scenario.
