An Egyptian mining company, ASCOM, finds a large gold deposit in Beninshangul, a region in western Ethiopia, according to Reporter.
Ethiopia’s ethnic apartheid junta gave a massive plot of land (8,000 sq km) to ASCOM in 2008 after forming a partnership with a Woyanne-affiliated company named Ezana Mining, whose partners include Meles Zenawi’s wife Azeb Mesfin.
ASCOM found the gold deposit near the site of the newly announced Nile River dam project.
Meles has offered Egypt co-ownership of the Nile Dam.
Meles doublespeak
While signing lucrative business deals with Egypt and selling away Ethiopia’s land, Meles turns around and complains about Egypt — and there are many fools who believe him. The partnership between Meles and Egypt in looting Ethiopia is stronger than ever.
