    Brothers and sisters,I don’t understand why Meles had to bring his bodyguard from Ethiopia. Where does he stay while they are here? With the leaders? Is he also responsible for guarding the other leaders too?
    I like this Abebe Gelaw and I think he is from Merkato area in Addis like me, we are very brave people.
    by the way my brothers and sisters, I like to take care of my old Toyota car, and recently I bought a tire shining product and went outside and sprayed the tires. The tires were shiny and looked great but I could not open the door to drive it away. After a minute of struggle i realized it was not my car.I should have waited for the owner to ask him to pay me something. it is bugging me a lot.

    Thanks for reading my comment

    I wonder what is your problem. He asked a question. You answer him if you know what the response is. If not just don’t bother. Why call someone Ahya? I have every reason to call you the same thing right now, but ain’t. It just shows how sick you are. No sense of humor?

    Mr. Tarik my brother I have not said anything that would hurt you or my other brothers and sisters or Ethiopia. Next time you want to insult me please call me a Zebra, just like the one in the cartoon movie Madagascar(hoping you have seen it). The other thing is that every one is not as smart as you are, but if you are insulting those who ask, you are cancelling out your smartness. Be very careful if you have got children.

  2. Thank u Abe you make a history. Tplf shall be distroyed. those who died at the hands of the tplf in Gura Farda shall say “our blood does not shade in vain”.

  3. Look weyne prime chicken a leader with no guts.This guy has a very low self esteem and believe me that comes from his position.He comes to Washington not as a leader of a proud people or a country,but to beg and beg for a hand outs from his masters year after year.This last few years his masters are of a black race(president Obama).In weyane world begging is considered pride.Well finally the cries of those innocent Ethiopian mothers has been heard loud and clear by their brave son Ato Abebe Gelaw.He shouls be honored for his bravery and be a voice for all those innocent Ethiopian men who has been tortured by Weyane and woman of ogaden that has been raped by weyane soldiers.

    I agree with you. Meles just saw that this is United States where there is freedom of the press. This is not the Ethiopian Parliament of servants, this is a democratic stage. Abebe said what dictators don’t like to hear any where on this planet. They don’t like to be called they are dictators, they want to show to the public they love their country.
    They die at the end with shame and disrespect.

    To Abebe Gelaw, I like to thank you from the bottom of my hart for shaking the foundation of the dictatorial system of Ethiopia. Just one man like you represented the Ethiopian people in and specially another compatriot journalist Eskinder Nega. By mentioning his name and defending those who are in prison with no rights to talk, you exposed the dictator in front of the people he was pretending to be a good leader.
    Thank you and your poor country will never forget you.

    May 19th, 2012 at 11:20 PM

    Ezana from Toronto, I have read a lot of comments by you and there were some things I agreed with you. But this one is a shocker. You know that the Ethiopian people did not want to fight on behalf of the Derg, and the powerless Derg would have been defeated by any armed insurrection. This downfall of the Derg actually started by its own doing a long time ago and that is usually the fate of dictatorship every where. After the killing of few army officers and the attempted coup, the derg’s life was shortening very fast. Plus the army of Shabia and the Ethiopian army that defected contributed to the overthrow of Derg.

    Amare’s comment is not agreeable either.

    Finally, i am surprised you have not said a word about the bravery and the courage of Abebe at all. How come? Somewhere down, you mentioned to peacefully demonstrate is civilized but to fight is uncivilized. What a logic. What is happening to you? The Americans and Canada the country where you live may be you are a naturalized citizen of, fought dictators around the world, so according to you they are uncivilized?

    Ezana From Toronto replies:
    May 20th, 2012 at 12:41 PM

    Abera,

    My drear friend,I totally agree with your analysis of Derg being on its way to its gave on its own. You should look at my response to Tekle’s note of bragging about how, what he calls, “the gallant fighters of TPLF” kicked everyone’s ass. when I said every one, i meant everyone. You need to see his list of organizations, groups and governments. I think I have demonstrated clearly that TPLF had taken advantage of either the frictions within a group it fought or it was supported by EPLF and, at times, by DERG. However, there is no need to come out here and accuse all Tigrayans. Meles’ regime doesn’t represent all Tigreans as Halie Selassie did not do so when it comes to the Amhara Ethnic. We have to be carful there.

    As far as your comment questioning why I didn’t comment on Abebe Galaw’s brave action, you should read my comments plus my response to those who looked at his attempt as irresponsible and uncivilized.

    Good day,sir

  16. I’m thrilled to death! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! What a brave Ethiopian! God bless our brother Abebe for being the voice for the voiceless Ethiopians! Love and Support to my Ethiopian bother Abebe!

  17. Abebe Gellaw! You are a true son of Ethiopia. Thank God! we have heroes like you. You made history by exposing the tyrant, the murderer, the dictator in front of world leaders. Thanks for that…we Ethiopians owe you a lot!

  19. Anyway such surprising shocks come to PM Meles or another dictator simply due to their own faults or the impossibilities built in to their bad governance by force alone.

    If PM Meles would have allowed pluralistic and genuine democratic elections with enough and independent opposition parties in the parliament where open debates, democratic claims and counter claims heats and smokes argued and released with out any fear, even with the PM. rolling back his shirt sleeves participating and arguing his case just as an honest citizen, then he would have even learned himself as to how to absorb shock waves at human level without any feeling of insult and shock experiences like now. Such shock waves might cause heart attacks or other physiological and neurological disturbances in the body system.

    In that case he would have just smiled a little bit and said humorously “please speak during your own turn for comments or else make your point with out shouting because I have invited to make important points on how to make new coins.”

    Now he needs to go back and organize a theater group, possibly in a frightening prison environment like Kalliti where he has to participate as a highly dignified actor speaker to dignified actor audience. There, his noisy cadres can arrange at least one surprise outbursts of opposition personalities incriminating the PM and sending shock waves to which the PM needs to develop immunity until and up to the time when the democratic parliamentary debate between the ruling parties and opposition parties are allowed to function.

  20. Abebe Gelaw showed us what one individual can make a difference. Each of us should be in offensive mode against weyanes all the time and every where . Getting out for demonstration after being killed is not a solution.

    Some Ethiopians especially Tigreans are deceived by the building built in Addis. Ethiopian geopolitics under TPLF makes this country collapses at any time in front of our eyes. The struggle against Weynes is to save Ethiopia and its people from this disaster. Food Aid may extends our agony but doesn’t save Ethiopa from eminent collapse. I am sure the handlers of TPLF know this fact very well and are just choosing the right time when this to happen.

  21. Abe thank you as an individual Ethiopian you did what you can do. My hut off to you I think you did more than any opposition party did/accomplished the last so many years. You use your voice a right time and right place… my admiration to you

  23. Keep shuoting losers,you only have tongue ( MELAS ).

    Worsan,

    There are two ways of showing one’s resentment against the oppressor. One is to carry a gun and kill or be killed. The other one which is more civilized, when possible, is to peacefully demonstrate. The latter one is what Mr. Abebe Gelaw did.

    My question to you is: what do you expect Ethiopians to do? Just say amen to all form of corruption and your government, or the government you support, commit? You are against the Genbot 7 type of opposition. Now, you are against the peaceful one? What do you think Ethiopians are? Just donkeys who have no choice but carry any burden you put on their back and a whoop that come along with it?

    My dear it does not work like that, that time is long gone by. Ethiopians did tolerate Haile Selassie and Mengistu. It ain’t happening again.

All you have to do is go back home find about 1000 Amharas and kill them to avenge the embarrassment of your leader. I know you would do exactly that. You bulk assassinated your own TLF leadership, doing something like that or worse to those you don’t consider to be yours is much easier. Kill the Amharas, kill them, finish them..they are only 40 millions!!

    Good day

  25. Abe is speak not only for all Ethiopians (about 85million people)but for all people who are under the dictator regime. This may be the great event of 2012. Thank you so much ABEBE GELAW (not only Journalist but HERO for all people with out freedom.

  27. THAT IS ACTIVISM!!

    That, I call activism at its best. Coming to this blog and singing Tigrayans are this and that is just hate-mongering, not activism. Learn from Journalist Abeba Gelaw.

  28. Meles Zenawi is a dictator!….True
    (Meles)You are committing crimes against humanity!….True
    We need freedom more than food!….True
    Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! (We need )!….True!

    So why shouldn’t I support Abebe Gelaw? ABEBE YOU ROCKS!

  29. Amezing!!!!this is how it is done? it took courage and determination to what abebe did. Now for those of you who wants to see our country to be free, we need to pray for our upcoming leaders. we need to pray now so that when the new democratic leaders comeup they will be God fearing and people loving leaders. God will grant up a new Era. New leaders. God bless Ethiopia!!!!Jesus is Lord!!!!

  30. It reminded me the Iraqi journalist heroic act of throwing shoes staight to the head of the evil George Bush, the then USA President. I consider that journalist as a hero and made his point as individual and represented the Iraqi’s people hate to the Bush Administration lies and injustices!

    Yesterday Abebe is done the right thing to the worest dictator in our world, that is Meles Zenawi. As we all know he is the known lier and as usual he was prepared to lie and beg money by presenting himself as a clean and transparent gov’t in africa however Abebe made history by voicing his voice loud and clear infront of the world screen that was watched by millions around the world by saying Meles Zenawi is DICTATOR, FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERs, ETHIOPIANS NEED FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM …. WOW amazing that chicken had no place to hide himself shame on him!!!

    WELL SAID ABEBE … WE ALL HAVE TO DO THE SAME IN EVERY DIRECTION EXPOSING THIS WOREST DICTATOR!!!

    Thank you All Ethiopian Muslims will voice all over the world the repression made by Meles Zenawi’s regime … THIS IS THE END OF MELES!!!

  32. ONE SMALL STEP FOR A JOURNALIST AND A GIANT STRIDE FOR AFRICA AND ALL FREEDOM FIGHTERS!
    Volumes can be written about the heroic act of journalist Abebe Gellaw of Ethiopia.
    He is compared to the gallant journalist who threw shoes at the lesser George Bush in Iraq a while back.
    This is journalistic activism par excellence like judicial activism , academic or veteran activism.
    Lesson for those who have suicidal tendencies in despair would be not to commit suicide BUt instead commit civil disobedience.
    Yes it needs guts to do what Abebe did in an international arena where the world’s who is who power-that-be are rubbing shoulders with petty dictators and their lap dogs like Zenawi to hoodwink and further delude the world in the name of good- will and food security. At the same time these illuminati cabal are working tirelessly for population reduction/elimination underhandedly thru covert and overt means including the sexy genetic engineering model of enabling false food security for the millions, The reality is Mosanto type GE foods are killers not healer. They want to destroy organic food culture ( the bedrock of health ) from the face of the earth. They want to accomplish this by nurturing African mean dictators like lesser zenawi to do their bidding. That is why the G8 meeting is farce and that is why Abebe is a hero for the whole world for stealing the show and for standing his ground. He did even volunteer to go to jail if that action he took warrants. Instead he got a friendly tap on his shoulder by the questioning officer.
    What did the dictator’s thug security officer prove ? The Ethiopian AgNazi bodyguard of Zenawi proved once again how they threaten to kill any opposition even in a civic international forum in Wahington DC. Dictators are certified killers. They kill and jail at their whims. But not in Washington. The security guard who threatened Abebe should be arrested before he leaves the good old USA – land of the free.
    Can we say Abebe did the same heroic act his compatriots Moges Asgedom and Abrham Demoz some 70 years ago against fascist Graziani? Let history judge.
    They threw hand grenades in Sidist Kilos old Palace and Abe also threw a lightening bolt of words that hit the dictator’s psyche with high voltage which paralyzed him from the neck up including his eye brows.
    With a single act of Bravery and eloquence Abe has achieved what the multitudes can’t by taking control of the so- called G8 meeting and shaming the dictator and telling truth to power.Bravo Bravo!!
    Abe you rose to the occasion. What is next for the rest of us underachievers ?…and what is yours and ours role?

  33. This guy reminds me of the republican senator who insulted Obama during the state of the union address-you lie!!
    The opposition in Ethiopia is the equivalent of the republican party in the US-loud&rough, intolerant of minorities, representing only the major culture and the 1%.

With 2.3 million people behind bars, the US leads the world in both the number and percentage of residents it incarcerates. If you think the US is a perfect place, you have no idea and you have been busy driving your taxi day and night to make ends meet. I do not condone human right violations in the US or Ethiopia but people like you are one reason why it is difficult bring democracy to Ethiopia.

  34. One hectar fertile land in Ethiopia costs 1.99… To see meles humiliated infront of the world is priceless!

    abebe gelaw showed us what it means to stand up for what you believe. This a kind action we need to do whenever we see woyane tugs . The world should know who they are and they should never never be allowed to have a life anywhere else.
    Long live Ethiopia!

  37. I want to be like Abebe!

    You are Ethiopia’s Pride!
    You are Ethiopian Journalists Pride!
    You are the Ethiopian Diaspora activists and communities Pride!
    You are the pride of ESAT
    You are a special pride son of your Mom and Dad
    You are a pride and role model of our youth activists
    You did something noble that no one can even dream of to think about.

    I like to congratulate your Mom and Dad for having a son to be so proud of.

  38. That was not the right thing to by any standard of a civilized world. You just can’t rudely interrupt a democratically elected leader during a very important discussion. You guys are all full of it. You pushed this guy and encourage him to do something that is so embarrassing to all of us right in front of the whole world. Now the rest of the world will think we are all uncivilized and a bunch of vagabonds. No one was even hearing what he was saying with his accent as thick as a turtle shell. Now he is going to lose his journalist credentials with the National Press Club. What a travesty!!! He should have listened to what I told you all and heed my orders to stay home until our Great Leader completes his task. He is here to save lives, not to be treated with a rude rap artist. He must be one of those Shewan Amharas. Gondares and Gojjames are all our comrades-in-arms. And you know what? From what I could read from his facial expression, our magnanimous leader has already forgiven this person. He knows he is misguided by those groups hell bent to see the destruction of our glorious people of Tigray and their friendly neighbors. By the way, is this a person who was one of the staff members of the English Daily Ethiopian Herald? That is where you can use the old saying correctly: In the country of the blind one eyed man is the king!!! Do you remember Lulseged Kumsa from the old days? It was hard to distinguish him and the BBC news caster. If you speak English to be such a reporter you have to polish both your verbal and written English. Just like Lulseged and me.

We have not seen any one rule a country for twenty plus years being elected democratically . The fact of the matter is that TPLF is a shifta organization that came out of dedebit barren land and has been killing and looting the country through the barrel of a gun. Even Ethiopians do not consider TPLF members as human beings. The main reason for this is due to the beastly nature of its members and the associate lack of human nature such as basic decency.

    My friend Tekle,

    I am surprised you call this an act of Shewan Amhara for “Gondere and Gojam are your comrade in arm” It is good to learn it is not only the diaspora who affected by narrow thinking. I guess you are the other extreme. Meles’ regime has committed crimes against humanity. This is not what I claim. It is a fact that the whole world know. After all Journalist Abebe Galaw brought a valid point. He asked for the release of imprisoned journalists, such as Eskender Nega. Do you too claim, like Meles’ regime, that thes imprisoned journalist are terrorists? If so I will just conclude you know no shame, my friend.

    During DERG the oppositions were called Anarchists, Adharian and so on; today the current government call them Terrorist among other things. What Ato Abebe did is a pure act of Activism. We witnessed, in the past, such actions, by activists, against Bush and other corrupted leaders. Despite my believe that Meles’ government has done number things for the country economically, I have to say it is politically a corrupt one. It is up to all of us to voice our concern. I applaud Mr Abebe for his actions. Many should follow this…

    Chalachew – Where did you get or who told you this information of 70,000 people were evicted from their homes? Who counted them for you? You can’t even know how to spell Gambela. The natives of that region are hoping mad at you. You are using figures made up by bold face liars. These are hopeless losers who are in the business of churning out numbers at random just to woo foreign on-lookers. The peoples in the areas you mentioned are very happy people with modern facilities for school and health service. Just ask such foundations as Bill Gates and Melinda Foundation, UNDP, USAID and many others. So what is your problem? Read their reports. You must be one of those bigots who hate my people.

    It is quite obvious that this guy violated the two most cardinal laws of journalism, if he is titled as such. First, he was invited as a journalist. What does that mean? He was entrusted with the same heavy burden of independent reporting of news. He was entrusted with the same task as those legendary reporters that include Peter Arnett, Walter Cronkite and Peter Jennings. In this regards he failed his sacred task. Second, he took a seat in the wrong place. If he intended that to protest, the right and assigned place was outside at the designated place. I am telling this guy can be in trouble now. You guys are sitting in your comfortable homes and pushing this individual to commit a trespassing offense. He may never be invited or given a pass to such and other international conferences from now on. Such invitations don’t come that easy and is given to very few selected members of the press. Mind you the conference includes such international giants as Jean Ping, Professor John Evans Atta Mills, The Honorable Lindsey Graham (One of my favorite Senators), Dr. Eleni Gabre-Madhin, and The Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton (One of the best Secretary of States since 1776) and of course our son the Beloved Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. This is a huge engagement and not some night of the debutantes on U and 9th Street. He desecrated the sanctity of journalism. And nobody understood what he was saying either. It is a day of shame for all of you who call yourselves Ethiopians. But I don’t care because I stopped calling myself an Ethiopian since 1976. I am and will be an Axumite.
    And also, I have been patiently listening to all of you slackers complaining that PM Meles is selling fertile lands at $1.00 per acre. Which land are you talking about? You don’t even know your own history. What happened in 1975? Mengistu had nationalized all lands and it all belongs to the government. And we inherited every land when we kicked his ass and rolled into Addis in May 1991. And whoever is elected to the leadership is given all the land. Based on the last 100% free election, our Beloved Leader PM Meles Zenawi was elected to the office with 99.6% vote. He is the perfect and only leader in the history of the world who can confidently say – L’Etat, c’est moi. And he will remain a democratically elected Prime Minister as long as the people want him to.
    And last, casting all that yelling and mumbling aside, did you watch what our Beloved Son PM Meles said at the conference. Did you see everyone at platform listening to him in awe and with admiration? I could see ever jaw dropping including that extremely brilliant Raj Shah. It was a masterpiece. I was so overwhelmed with pride that I almost passed out. Serious!! My heart started palpating right after his 2nd speech. I tell you this person is a gem. He is a gift from God!!!

    you said many rational things which the few extremist amharas will never understand or are not willing even to hear. They think he is a hero? Tebele endie? Tebale endi? The problem is this few extremist amharas thing the world revolves around their head. They can do anything to get their way even if it means abusing and desecrating their profession. It is this type of self-riggheous, chauvinists few amharas who landed Ethiopia where it is today. They sold half tigreans for 5000 rifles to Italy ( today Eritreans). Today Eritreans were Tigreans before the cursed Menelick. He sold Djibouti for 200 rifiles to France for 90 years. He practically landlocked Ethiopia from all direction just for few rifles? Now they accuse Tigreans for everything that goes wrong? The message to the few chauvinists amhara must be clear. You have to ground yourself like every body else. You are not better than anyone. You have to recognize the rights of others. We are battling to create a common ground? but you have refused to listen and to communicate. All your tactic is abusing, degrading, humiliating, robbing the dignity of people. You do not recognize others except your egostic amhara propaganda. If you really really love Ethiopia you have to respect its citizens. Otherwise, if you tell us Ethiopia Ethiopia, but our action has nothing to do with Ethiopia, we will fight back. You are trying to fool the oromos, Gambelans, … but everyone knows what you are after. It is you who created Woyane or Meles. It is you who created Shabia. It is your who created OLF? It is you who created ONLF? It is you who caused the death of 2 million Tigreans and 1 million Woloyes. Come to your sense and need to look at yourself. It is true Meles has done many wrong things. There is no doubt, but we cannot keep on blaming Meles, Derg, Haileslassie, and Menelick forever. Mistakes has to be corrected wisely based on mutual respect and good faith only. Anything short of that will not serve anyone. I want to tell the chauvinists amharas adn as well as chauvinists Tigreans that love, peace, and healing is the only way for peace. If you degrade Meles because he is Tigreans only, you will be fighting the entire Tigreans and prolonging the suffering of Ethiopia. I hope this will sink into the brain of chauvinists.

I want you to be a man and answer my question with as much honesty. Decomcracy, a term derived from an ancient two syllable terms, Demos and Cratia. Demos means power and cratia means rule. In other words it means rule of the people. Today we use it to demonstrate rule of the majority. Ethiopia is a nation that has number of nations and nationalities. While the Amharas and Oromos are almost 40% each. There rest of the population is about 20%. Tigreans compse less than 10%, yet the leadership is from the less than 10%.

I told you and the rest of cry babies a million times before: My PM Meles and the rest of us were elected to the office with 99.6% vote by the people of our country. Nous sommes l’Etat!!! You hear me? Nous sommes l’Etat!!! And our Dear Son PM Meles has every right to say ‘L’Etat C’est moi’!!!! We are given a mandate by the people of the county to be all that. We will remain in that position for a period calculated as follows:
    For each 17 Years of struggle we waged with our dear lives and sweat to drive out the ruthless Mengistu and his gang we get a remuneration of a 25 multiplier. That means: 17 X 25 = 425 Years. And for the excellent job we have done so far since 1991 in terms of laying down the foundation of democratic governance and prosperity we get another multiplier of 2. So we will stay in power for at least 17 X 25 X 2 = 850 years. And for convenience that sub number is rounded up to 1,000 years.
    There you have it and better be used to it. You mark my word for it. It is indisputable, indelible, legitimate and etched in stone. And there is nothing you or anyone else can do about it. Thanks to our dominance and strict adherence to discipline the whole country is the most stable country in the world. That is why so many industrialists are flocking to the country with their billions of hard and crispy cash in droves. Once we get rid of that mad dog Isaias along with his cabal and send all Shewan Amharas to their original motherland Amhara Saynt, it is going to be a smooth ride gravy train. That is why I am telling you all to stay at work and home. And keep your mouths shut!!! You hear me!!! Shut Up!!!!!

    Why do you hate it badly when people demand justice, freedom and democracy. You gun-totting woyane guys marched to Addis armed to the teeth on the back of america and can not understand what these words means.
    It is almost beyond your ability to understand what it means to live in peace respecting people’s basic human rights to speak, write and to have the freedom for assembly.
    and all you can do is blabbering your nonsense, saying amhara did this and that 1000 years ago, amhara chauvinist, neftegna bla bla bla

    You are dead and your days are over. 21 years you have been agitating against the amhara but without knowing it you have been digging your own grave. It is to nobody’s liking inciting violence or targeting one ethnic group against the other to promote your own agenda.
    The ethno-fascist woyane are well exposed and known for who they are: segregationist, ethnicst, divisive murderers who thrive on violence and murder. Your politics is primitive and crude buried in south africa 20 yeras ago.

    If your masters have any shred of sense in their heads repression and dividing people will not benefit anyone.All suffer. YOU YOUR MASTERS WILL SUFFER MOST BELIEVE ME. YOU ARE NOT GETTING ANY SYMPATHY FROM ANYWHERE BY PERSECUTING THE AMHARA OR ANY OTHER ETHNIC GROUP.

    TPLF have not stopped at the amhara. they have been persecuting every one systematically and turn by turn including tigreans and it is a day light truth that all the Ethiopian people from north to south and from east to west know this and are up in arms to defend their rights.

    It is a frustration that has been building up for many amnay years. the volcano will erupt one day and I advise you to wake up. Don’t be like the ostrich, burying your head in the sand.

  39. Distinct themes keep recurring in Ethiopia’s revolutions since the 60s. The Neway Brothers that started it all had a motto, “what is progress while there is hunger.”

    The student movement followed in exposing the covered up hunger to the international community and their motto followed as “land for the farmer”. Now, it is, “food is nothing without freedom”. Life is full of ironies. I am sure Abebe as out standing as he is and now trusted into the public’s conscience will rephrase a politically correct motto considering some historical factors Ethiopia struggled with the last four decades.

    Once hunger and famine is exposed, it is not difficult to defend. Human Right oppression is harder to defend and mobilize the public since it is tangled in legal red tape. Besides there is a bizarre contradiction in the current Ethiopian regime that tries to convince you to worship the constitution and yet what is rightfully stated in one of its articles that allows peaceful gathering and demonstration is restricted.

    Two distinct things stand out; what pleases the eyes as progress and development vs. ethnic supremacy/oppression/cost of leaving/a century old land leases to foreign investors /political prisoners/favorable new laws to the regime. To convince people that all is not gold that glitters is not easy at times.

    Such awakening spirit coordinated with practical and committed mind in such thunderously lightening voice begs us to search into our own conscience. Great journalists seem to be born to answer a calling like out standing priests, doctors and lawyers. Today, Eskinder Nega and the other political prisoners were well defended. Such dedication knows no fear, is not opportunist for the wrong purpose and takes risks. May be that is when mountains can be moved.

    Abebe, well done! But there is also a great exemplary lesson here; the path that brought you through the door is good education. Congratulations! You have used it practically, passionately at the right place and time. Some times, such voice is a powerful sum of the long story.

    Your name sounds great because it is derived from one of the great man in the Ethiopian history. However the position you stand doesn’t get along with the great man’s name. Therefore you better change it to KIZENAM. Don’t bark like a dog that always protect its master for the exchange of a piece of meat gets every day. In fact a dog is an animal and there is an excuse for what it does. You are a human being and use your brain to look around and judge something not from the point view of your privilege. I know you are one of those guys who used the most rewarded ethnic card to lift up yourself from dust. Do you think you could make what you have accomplished in your life if you compete with fellow Ethiopians on a plain surface and genuine referee? I doubt even if you lined up for a very simple job even a dumb individual does. The only thing for weyane to get the current power is only some wired world historical situations. Do you think your masters had acquired it due to their brave move in the war fields? I am not sure of it. Ok let’s say you are brave people to win the DERG regime. Then instead of trying to bring a better rule and introduce the culture of democracy are you supposed to repeat or duplicating what the old regime was exercising: system of corruption, imprisonments and killing of innocent citizens. There is Ethiopian saying, listen if you have ear: “Beseferut kuna mesefer aykerm”. As the old regimes in Ethiopia passes or overthrown one after another, the system what you stand for will one day collapse and those who are playing with the public property will be called to the court to face charges. Don’t forget , it will happen. It is a matter of time and you will bow your head for the truth and start to hesitate on what you have done. Don’t create enjoyment for yourself while millions of citizens in the country humiliated due to lack of food and human rights. As your background is from the most holy place, Axum, don’t drop the bible guideline and carry devils rule. Finally it will lead you to a disaster.

    Your name sounds great because it is derived from one of the great man in the Ethiopian history. However the position you stand doesn’t get along with the great man’s name. Therefore you better change it to KIZENAM. Don’t bark like a dog that always protect its master for the exchange of a piece of meat gets every day. In fact a dog is an animal and there is an excuse for what it does. You are a human being and use your brain to look around and judge something not from the point view of your privilege. I know you are one of those guys who used the most rewarded ethnic card to lift up yourself from dust. Do you think you could make what you have accomplished in your life if you compete with fellow Ethiopians on a plain surface and genuine referee? I doubt even if you lined up for a very simple job even a dumb individual does. The only thing for weyane to get the current power is only some wired world historical situations. Do you think your masters had acquired it due to their brave move in the war fields? I am not sure of it. Ok let’s say you are brave people to win the DERG regime.

    Let me guess, you are either one retarded Eritrean or Amhara nationalist or Tigrayan nationalist. You all are the same to me. Hate mongers. Bring valid point for discussion instead of name calling.

  40. i watch this Video more than 100 times . i can’t believe Abe has done this to that stupid murderer! Thanks Abe! Jegna !!!!Jegna !!!!!!Jegna!!!!!

  41. Hero, respected journalist Abebe Gelaw, SHOT DOWN the head of Woyane, Meles who has been destructing Ethiopia since he came to power 20 years ago. This is not just a striking word, but is a hurricane accompanied by the the heavy rain and voice of 80 million people of Ethiopia.

    Tyranny invited as a hiden respect, but return to their home wth shame.

    Abebe, u did great historical job, God bless u!!

  42. Look, all of you losers. Meles is not my favourite figure. But what Abebe did was wrong 100%. Democracy is not arbitrary. There are rights and duties. If I am a democract I have rights and duties.

    First, Abebe went in under the name of Journalistic claim and he then started yelling on G8 dignified world leaders? He betrayed his profession. Profession is not a joke. You can not abuse your profession to manipulate world leaders. Abebe, and his blind followers may think he is a hero? but he is a loser now. He lack professional integrity and he has destroyed his creer. The Ferenjis are not fools to take Abebe baby cry seriously. In the civilized world, you have to do things in a civilized manner. I do not see any heroism in Abebe except it made me believe Abebe is a naive who has no respect for his professional career. He is undemocratic. This the behavior of selfish people. Selfish people can do anything to get their way. That is what he did. He betrayed his profession and he terrified dignified world leaders with a sudden baby cry and yelling.

    If I were Abebe, I would have used the opportunity to get to the podium and say what I want to say.I would not behave like a lunatic Abebe. He became crazy and behaved like a mad. He is shameful.

    you just repeated what the termite Tekle said. A journalist should stand by his friends with no rights to speak, languishing in Ethiopian jails. He legitimately defended prisoners like Eskinder. So don’t cry about this old system of opposition to freedom and democracy. Abebe is a hero, you don’t like it go to hell. We love him.

    Eskinder is in jail for good reason. He will stay in prison until he receives Jesus like Tamrat Lynnie. Eskinder declared war and wanted to remove Meles by violence. Eskinders crime is open in the air for everyone to read. No government or regime will allow to be overthrown like that. Democracy is not a free ride for some. Democracy has limits, duties and rights. Abebe will not free Eskinder. Eskinder will face the law in full force.

    Hey you Abdi:

    What did I tell you last time? I told you to stay at home and keep your mouth shut. Based on the last election results, which was 99.6% in our favor, I have the authority to give you such an order. We Axumite are the only people in the history of mankind who can confidently tell you all lazy bums out there the following proclamation etched in stone: Nous Sommes L’Etat!!!! Your hear me? Nous Sommes L’Etat!!!! I want you to repeat this until you pass out to sleep. And I know you call this torture and will go on to tell the world with your shabby placards!!!!
    Alula is right on the nose!!! Bravo!!!

    Only Hitler did it!!

    99.6% in a nation that is so diverse in terms of its ethnic composition and view point? Only HItler did it!! My friend the whole world knows what you did, use the food aid to enforce those who voted, the rest is history called rigging. I cannot believe you don’t even have the conscious or shame; you come out here and tell us that your corrupted Meles’ won 99.6%. In a nation that has 40% Oromo and 40% Amahara, the people who constitute less than 10 % get 99.6% of the vote.

    Good day, sir

  43. we must follow meles zenawi wherever he goes. we never sleep until meles steps down. We need more brave ethiopians like abebe gelaw ! next step should be to occupy woyane embassy. what are they doing except spying on ethiopians?

  44. What a day to see this coward rat get the real shock! He is a brute who murdered children and women, and who imprisons those who could only speak in a civilized way that he is in the wrong. It is only because this world is such a weird place that this killer is given the chance to sit in front of the world in such a way. We have witnessed today that he is such a coward. He came out with a wet pant, I trust. Anyways, good job Abe. You are the real Man!

  45. Well done Abebe.You have shown us his real face. We always remember and visualise how he insulted our people and country using our own media which is financed by our own poor people. Meles and his ethnic group do not have a brain to think and examine things but they have a large stomch to consume looted food. The next stage is to arrest him and see how he will behave and feel. I am sure this will hapen soon by some other brave Ethiopians.
    Belew

  46. Abebe Abebe I love you love you. You make all this Ethiopian
    people happy by doing this to this murderer. To make him bend
    that is what he did always for the Ethiopian people to bend.

  47. Thank you Abebe!!You exposed not only the dictator meles but also those who acted like they don’t know anything. Now they can’t say they didn’t know because we have a prove.:)Thank you again, you are a real Ethiopian.

  48. In my humble opinion this is NOT a matter of humiliating any one but telling the TRUTH, nothing but NAKED TRUTH as it really is. There is great difference between telling the TRUTH and HUMILIATING some one.

    Even PM Meles might be admiring Abebe for daring to tell him the real truth, face to face, and in public through that, helping him to see himself and his work right in the mirror. This is one single matter that none of his lousy cadre YES MEN/WOMEN may not dare to brief him in time. Hearing truth is also a kind of physical and spiritual therapy which clears the foggy and misty air.

    “My way of joking is to tell the truth. That’s the funniest joke in the world.” ~Muhammad Ali :)

  50. Why in the world the hero Abebe Gelaw and the interviewer addresses tyrant Meles with respect form of “Issachew” instead of “Issu”. The killer of so many innocent Ethiopians, doesn’t deserve to be respected. Abebe should have thrown a pie or dog poop on that monkey face!
    What a wonderful day to see a brutal dictator humiliated and exposed in the open! Look at how that fesam feri kizenam killer breathing heavy. The tyrant killer and molacha leba looks like he was ready to have a heart attack, how I wish he did! What a day! kikikikikikikikikikiki….
    Thanks Abe for your outstanding courage and for standing up for your fellow Ethiopian journalists, the rest of innocent political prisoners who are rotting in Woyane rat infected prisons and the 85 million voiceless Ethiopians.
