WASHINGTON DC — Faced with protests by Ethiopians in the DC area, the luxurious Willard Hotel in Washington DC that is located a block away from the White House has canceled the meeting that was organized by Woyanne embassy this afternoon.

Ethiopians at Willard Hotel Washington DC stage protest against Woyanne junta reps Seyoum Mesfin and Girma Birru

Senior Woyanne junta officials Seyoum Mesfin and Girma Birru were scheduled to speak at the meeting with ruling party supporters in the Washington DC area.

Starting around 4:30 PM, several Ethiopians gathered to confront Seyoum and Girma, who have taken news posts as ambassadors to China (Seyoum) and Girma (United States), after looting and plundering Ethiopia for the past 20 years as ministers of foreign affairs and trade.

Around 5 PM, Willard Hotel management informed representatives of the demonstrators that the meeting has been canceled in the interest of both the hotel and the Woyanne officials.

At 6:Pm, after making sure that the Woyanne looters will not hold the scheduled meeting, the protesters dispersed.

Today’s outcome of the planned public meeting in Washington DC demonstrates how Ethiopians are making officials of the Woyanne ethnic apartheid junta unwelcomed every where. In Ethiopia, Woyanne is on borrowed time. Meles and Azeb will soon share room with Tunisia’s Ben Ali in Saudi Arabia.

Ben Ali’s friends (satire)

Ethiopia’s tyrant Meles Zenawi and his wife Azeb (mother of corruption) may think that they have friends in Obama, Sarkozy and other Western leaders. Watch what happened to his friend in Tunisa, Ben Ali. The following video is satire, but it’s based on the truth. French President Sarkozy and all EU leaders rejected him when he was chased away by the people of Tunisia. In a couple of years, or may be even sooner, Meles will be facing the same fate. The countdown starts.

In Germany, Ethiopians are preparing to welcome head of the Woyanne ethnic apartheid junta, Meles Zenawi, with the kind of reception that is fit for a blood thirsty dictator.

Meles will arrive in Munich, Germany, on February 5 for a conference. (See details here)

Ethiopian Review server outage

EthiopianReview.com’s server has been crashing for the past two days due to a coordinated attack. The attack continues today. I don’t want to go into details about what security measures we are taking to protect the web site, but I would like to assure every one that the Woyanne junta that is brutalizing our people in Ethiopia and pillaging the country will not be able to silence us.

Atlanta police release sketches of Jagama’s killers

Atlanta police have released sketches of two men they want to talk to in connection to the shooting death of Jagama Beyene, a 26-year-old Ethiopian film producer who worked part time as a store clerk.

(Fox 5) — Jagama was known to his friends and family as “J” and Jack Wizzy Now, they’re asking why he was shot to death in such a brutal manner. Bullet holes were found all over the Citgo Gas Station where Beyene worked, and was shot on Thursday morning.

“I hope somebody will find out who did it and then I hope we will be able to know why,” said Essete Roister, the victim’s cousin. “The question is, why? He don’t deserve this.”

Beyene’s cousin spoke to FOX 5’s George Franco at his home in Tucker. She says her cousin was the writer, producer and director of a documentary on Ethiopians struggling to make it in Metro Atlanta. It was released this past August.

“The message of the movie is not to give up, not to quit—just to go strong,” said Daniel Cebray, Beyene’s friend.

Beyene’s friends say he mirrored the movie after his life. They say he’d been in the area for a couple of years, moving here from the Washington, D.C. area. They say he was working at the gas station to make ends meet when he was gunned down by two men after police say he was robbed.

What strikes the manager of the Citgo is the viciousness and senselessness of the crime. He says after the robbery and shooting occurred in the store, the perpetrator fired back at the store. Bullet holes are seen in a cooler.

Roister asked that the person responsible please come forward.

“I will forgive you, but we wanted to know why,” she said.

Now, Beyene’s family is coming together with friends in Atlanta, where he had been trying to carve out a new life and a name for himself.

Atlanta police say it’s possible a third man may have been involved in the murder of Beyene. They believe he and the other two men fled the scene in a red truck or SUV.
