EDITOR’S NOTE: Over $1 billion dollars the Meles dictatorship in Ethiopia receives annually in aid and loan from the U.S. and other countries have made the country more poor, and the regime more corrupt and brutal. Little or none of this $151-million would go to serve the people of Ethiopia. It is an award to Meles for being a good puppet. The money is going to be used to fuel the Woyanne instruments of repression. The people of Ethiopia continue to live in an abject poverty as the video below shows.
ADDIS ABABA (AFP) — The United States has given Ethiopia 151 million dollars to boost its health and education services, the US embassy said here on Tuesday.
The agreement was signed Monday by USAID representative Glenn Anders, US ambassador to Ethiopia Donald Yamamoto and Ethiopia’s Finance Minister Mekonnen Manyazewal, a statement said.
The grant will also finance economic growth and democracy and governance programmes.
Washington will this year also provide more than 900 million dollars (610 million euros) in aid to the Horn of Africa country, a key ally in its anti-terrorism war.
Ethiopia received US backing in late 2006 when it deployed troops to neighbouring Somalia to overthrow an Islamist movement accused of harbouring extremist elements.
The video below shows the result of U.S. assistance to the brutal dictatorship in Ethiopia. It shows Ethiopia’s obscene poverty after 17 years of plunder by the U.S.-financed regime of the Tigrean People Liberation Front.
