Al Amoudi’s private investigator has called me today to inform me that he has a legal paper to give me and that I have to meet him in person to receive it. I received the same paper by email. It’s from DLA Piper lawyer Mary E. Gately. It states:
As you know, DLA Piper is counsel to Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Al Amoudi. We also represent Jemal Ahmed with regard to a defamatory article you published on March 29, 2012 on the website Ethiopian Review (ethiopianreview.com) titled “Al Amoudi’s Human Trafficker in Ethiopia identified.”
The letter demands:
1. immediately remove the Article, and any other iterations of it, from the website
ethiogianreview.com or any other website, internet posting, or public source;
2. immediately cease and permanently desist from making the false and defamatory
statements made in the Article; and
3. publish on ethiopianreview.com a full apology to our clients.

The security and intelligence chief of the ruling Woyanne junta in Ethiopia, Getachew Assefa, is reportedly suffering from sever depression.
Getachew, who is a central committee member of the Tigray People Liberation Front (TPLF) and head of the notorious criminal organization that operates under the name, “Ethiopian Intelligence and Security Service (ENISS),” is also having a deteriorating relationship with Meles Zenawi because of the increasing power of his deputy, Esayas Woldegiorgis, in the organization, a reliable source inside the TPLF informed Ethiopian Review’s Intelligence Unit.
Esayas, who is half Eritrean like Meles Zenawi, is now the {www:de facto} head of the ENISS, and that Getachew is looking for a way out, according to Ethiopian Review sources.]
Our sources added that Getachew Assefa’s phones have been tapped by Debretsion Gebremichael, former TPLF assassin and current head of Ethiopian Telecommunications Corporation.
Analysts who are knowledgeable about the {www:inner workings} of TPLF told Ethiopia Review that after Meles Zenawi consolidated his power by turning TPLF into a one-man show, resentment has spread in the TPLF rank, forcing him to surround himself with half-Eritreans and Tigreans from the Adwa awraja whom he trusts more.
It’s obvious that the U.S. Government’s foreign policy is full of hypocrisy with deadly results. Let’s take Ethiopia for example: As shown in the picture below, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton greets Ethiopia’s genocidal dictator Meles Zenawi like a close personal friend, and yet she calls for the removal of Syria’s murderous dictator. Compared to Meles Zenawi, Syria’s Assad is Mother Theresa. As Hillary was shaking Meles Zenawi’s hand in February, his thugs were burning down villages in Gambella and Ogaden, and beating up a prominent Ethiopian opposition leader who is languishing in jail. Shame on Hillary Clinton, and the Obama Administration. All the good things the U.S. Gov’t does around the world is lost in value because of such shameful acts.
The Diaspora plays important roles in the democratic process:
1. Act as the voice of conscience to the world.
2. Lobby diplomats for international support and cooperation.
3. Mobilize activists for grassroots involvement both inside and outside the country.
4. Provide psychological and financial support to the movement… [read more]
The Woyanne junta has intensified its ethnic cleansing campaign against the Amhara ethnic group in southern Ethiopia. So far, over 78,000 people, including children, women, and the elderly have been evicted after every thing they owned was confiscated, as reported by Germany Radio and other media. The following are photos of some of the evicted Ethiopians of Amhara ethnic group. The only way to stop such crime against humanity is to wage an all out war on the fascist Woyanne junta with what ever means available. The least one can do is to stop referring to this criminal organization as “Ethiopian government,” and the fascist dictator as “Ethiopian prime minister.”
The only crime of these innocent children is to be born from Amhara ethnic group. How can any one who calls him/herself Ethiopian continue to stay silent in the face of such atrocity?
