When the Woyanne junta-installed fake patriarch in Ethiopia, Aba Gebremedhin (formerly Aba Paulos), died this week, some of the opposition media was referring to him as “His Holiness,” “Bitsuh Wokdus Abune Paulos,” etc. I would not be surprised if the Woyanne media address him in such respectful way, because he is their cadre. But for the independent Ethiopian media who have been reporting about Aba Gebremedhin’s crimes, including the cold-blood murder of an Ethiopian monk, and the destruction of Ethiopian historical places, to refer to him as “His Holiness” is a terrible insult to all the victims of the fake patriarch. It is also a lie. Aba Gebremedhin is not a holly man. He is not the patriarch of Ethiopian Orthodox Church. His religious tile has been stripped by the real leaders of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Aba Gebremedhin is a crook, a pimp, and a murderer who should be held in contempt by every one and brought to justice.
A group of Ethiopians are currently holding a hunger strike in front of the White House to protest the attack on free press and freedom of speech in Ethiopia, and to demand the release of jailed journalist Reyot Alemu, Woubshet Taye, Eskinder Nega and others.
The group led by young Ethiopian Liyu Genenew has arrived at the White House Lafayette Park on Thursday around midnight to stage the protest and hunger strike, which will continue until tomorrow, Sunday noon.
One American lady who was part of the hunger strike collapsed last night due to exhaustion and had to be taken to a hospital.
Liyu and her friends braved heavy rain yesterday evening and the hot weather during the day. One of the participants told Ethiopian Review that the most difficult part of the hunger strike is the sleep deprivation.
Today is the 58th day since Ethiopia’s dictator Meles Zenawi has disappeared.
During Meles Zenawi’s disappearance:
– The TPLF junta first denied the report that he is sick, but later admitted that he is getting medical treatment for exhaustion. The regime’s propaganda chief Bereket Simon said Meles will return to work before Ethiopian New Year, September 11.
– Meles Zenawi’s wife Azeb Mesfin, the mother of corruption, has disappeared from public view for the past 28 days.
– The TPLF-installed fake patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, Aba Gebremedhin (formerly Abune Paulos) died from heart attack this past Wednesday.
– The TPLF military chief of staff Gen. Samora Yenus is gravely ill.
– The ruling junta is unable to reach an agreement on who should replace Meles, but during the past few days the U.S. is pressuring them to appoint Hailemariam Desallegn as prime minister, and that the U.S. left them with no choice if they want to receive financial support to save the regime from financial collapse.
– It is expected that the Woyanne junta will run out of foreign currency within the next 3 – 4 weeks.
A capital murder warrant has been issued for Abey Belette Girma, 37, in the killing of the owners of Desta, an Ethiopian restaurant, at around midnight on Aug. 15.

Police continue to look for Abey Belette Girma who is accused of capital murder.
Yayehyirad “Yared” Lemma, 40, and Yenenesh “Yenni” Desta, 31, shot to death about midnight Wednesday in front of their Lower Greenville home, in Dallas, Texas. The couple was returning home from Desta, the Ethiopian restaurant they operated on Greenville Avenue near Forest Lane.
According to an arrest warrant, Girma approached both of them on the front porch and shot them before running away.
A co-worker of Girma’s told police that Girma told him he had killed the couple because they had “disrespected him.” He said Girma told him that he followed them from their restaurant to their home where he confronted Lemma on the front porch of his home.
“Suspect Girma told witness … that the complainant continued to disrespect him so he shot him,” police records state. “Suspect Girma stated he next shot complainant Yenenesh because she had also disrespected him.”
The co-worker told police that Girma showed him a pistol that he used to kill the couple.
He also told police that Girma intimidated him into driving to Goodland, Kansas, where he was able to escape and call the police.

The suspect, Abey Belete Girma, has not yet been arrested.
