Ethiopian Review has been the subject of constant harassment by Al Amoudi and Meles Zenawi lawyers that are based in Washington DC, the “capital of free speech.” One of Al Amoudi’s lawyers, Mary E. Gately of the DLP Piper law firm, this week has sent a threatening letter to Hostgator, the company that is hosting Ethiopian Review demanding that we remove articles that refer to her billionaire client Sheik Ato Al Amoudi. DLP Piper’s strategy was to go after a softer target — Hostgator — instead of taking me to court, which I welcome. Understandably, Hostgater did not want to spend thousands of dollars defending itself in court, so the management asked us to remove those articles. But, we were not about to suffer defeat. We created a mirror web site in Vanderland — a country out of DLP Piper’s reach — and transferred the articles there. Click here to view the mirror site.
