Unmasking TPLF’s worst bullies and thugs
By Ewnetu Taye
After Meles Zenawi, leader of the ethno-fascist group misruling Ethiopia, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), got naked and suffered humiliation in front of world leaders, the racist thugs and bullies who believe that it is their birth right to oppress the people of Ethiopia, are out in droves to condemn and ridicule Ethiopia’s cry for freedom. They still cannot get it why Meles Zenawi epitomizes nothing but an oppressive ethnic apartheid that must be dismantled. Who are some of the commanders of TPLF’s army of thugs leading the pitiful browbeating and wailing over the fall of their “big” man?
Isayas Abay
TPLF has an army of thugs across the world that has a mission of spreading poison, dividing Ethiopians, creating confusion and scaring
people into silence. One of the commanders of this army of thugs and bullies is none other than former EPRP member and CISCO employee Isayas Atsibha Abay.
He lives in South San Jose, California, but the man who has awarded himself a fake title, i.e. “engineer”, is an elusive man. Many Ethiopians in San Jose do not know the false “Engineer” Isayas who also plays a key role in manipulating and dividing St. Mary church in San Jose. Married to a Pilipino woman, he enjoys submission and domination. He is also known with his obsession for Adwa domination even on the rest of Tigrians.
The racist bigot is an interesting thug that hails from Adwa with Eritrean parentage from his mother’s side. The monstrous publisher and “editor” of Aigaforum, a website that has no rule of basic grammar let alone publishing anything seriously coherent and logical enjoys supremacist ploys. Wearing anonymity as a mask and hiding behind computer screens and monikers, this man spews hatred and cunningly incites the racist TPLF thugs to attack, demonize and scare anyone who dares to speak out against the criminal regime of Meles Zenawi. The picture we have published today the first publicly available image of the man who lives under disguises.
Typical of a mafia commander, Isayas has no place for decency, logic and respect for the freedom of others. The brazen acts of this man are unbelievable. Besides giving advice to the TPLF to take “measures” against dissidents, i.e. shoot, kill, maim, jail or torture dissidents, this man has even gone to the extent of assailing US President Barack Obama.
On August 4, 2010, he called Obama a nigger. This isn’t a joke, but it is a widely reported and well documented fact. On his fifty pence website filled with slurs, insults and incitement, he published the unthinkable: “The misguided extremist Diasporas [sic] have been cheering up for the last couple of days. You know why? Hillary Clinton will not visit Ethiopia during her trip to Africa. Hmm! Who cares if the N**** administration ignores Ethiopia?! Have your say.”

As soon as he published his racist diatribe, the screenshot was taken and the incontrovertible evidence was already saved. As usual, the thug tried to deny his criminal hatemongering. He blamed the “extremist” Diaspora and snorted out that it was a Photoshop manipulation that made him spit a racially motivated slur against the leader of the free world. But the evil man has already done it so many times. Isayas also tried his bigotry on Obang Metho and Michael Steel, the former leader of the Republican Party, whose election to the position was labeled as “window dressing,” along with Obang Metho.
Disconnected from reality, Isayas A. Abay is a clumsy fabricator. He appears to enjoy listening to his own lies. My friend and colleague Abebe Gellaw travelled to Seattle recently to attend a Young Global Leaders summit at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, where we had a chance to learn from many great individuals including Bill and Melinda Gates. But Isayas had a piece of breaking news: “The bad mouth pseudo journalist will lose his credential to appear in any US government meeting and briefing! This comes on the heels of the no-but-thanks response they got from the Gates foundation for the recent approach! [Aigaforum, May 25,2012]”
Unfortunately, all that came from the fertile imagination of the racist mouthpiece of tyranny. What the fools don’t understand is the fact that no one has a right to revoke his credential as a journalist for telling the incontrovertible truth. Exercising his First Amendment rights does not give anyone the privilege to dictate his work as a journalist. Though TPLF thugs under the direction of a certain “Dilwenberu Nega” have been vainly petitioning the National Press Club (NPC) to have his membership revoked, as NPC does not have the mandate to stop anyone from vocally condemning a criminal tyrant. NPC only told them to go away. As a matter of fact, NPC has repeatedly called on Meles Zenawi to release all the journalists in jail and demanded him to stop using his pseudo-terrorism law to crush dissent and silence journalists.
In a press release issued on May 10th, NPC President Theresa Werner said: “When other journalists fled the Ethiopian government’s crackdown on the press, Eskinder Nega stayed and he courageously used his Internet platform to bring much-needed attention to government wrongdoing and abuse. We call upon the government of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi to promptly release Nega and to cease its authoritarian persecution of journalists.” Alas! The thugs are not up to speed with reality.
Constantly looking for trivia, Isayas declared that Abebe was banned from US government briefings, which is another fabrication. Diplomats may say whatever they choose to assuage the anger of a tin pot dictator. But the reality remains that the State Department has no mandate whatsoever to dictate anyone’s style of journalism.
Mimi Sebhatu
The spoilt alcoholic and drug and Khat addict Mini Sebhatu is part of the gang of six rejects that have been serving as Meles Zenawi’s attack dogs. Their gang is controlled by Bereket Simon, one of the chief strategists of the mafia ruling elite. The exclusive club includes unprincipled sycophants including her own husband former dissident turned TPLF lover Zerihun Teshome, who will do anything for the
highest bidder. Another distinguished member of the club is alcoholic and former dissident Genenew Assefa, half brother of the infamous turncoat Genet Zewdie. He was also jailed by the TPLF when he went to Addis from the US to attend the Ghion conference in 1993. But the lazy drunkard Genenew chose to submit to TPLF to alleviate his financial difficulties. He has a reputation of being a misfit that can’t do a serious job.
Million Assefa is also part of the gang. He was a man of conscience before he sold out his soul to the TPLF. Jailed and suspended from his studies like most of student activists at the Addis Ababa University in 1993, he was also a victim of the TPLF before he jumped on the bandwagon of tyranny. He is now a lawyer and a member of parliament, representing TPLF’s Oromo stepson, OPDO. Can you imagine a lawyer “pursuing” justice sitting in a puppet parliament that has no job other than clapping for the dictator? Million, along with crooked lawyers like Shimelis, are responsible for drafting the worst laws in Ethiopia including the anti-terrorism law as well as drafting fictitious charges of genocide and terrorism.
Also on the roaster of the council of gangsters is TPLF servant, Shimelis Kemal, a former lawyer with no sense of justice. He was also jailed by his current bosses when he was “editor” of Nishan newspaper for publishing an opinion piece. By the way, Shimelis is said to have a tendency of weeping unexpectedly when he gets drunk. According a close friend, he suffers from self-hate and calls himself a worthless cruel man. So we have nothing to add on his claims as he knows himself better.
Childish woman, Mini Sibehatu, has recently emerged as a teacher of morality and ethics in journalism. She seems to have lost sleep over Abebe’s action that undressed Meles Zenawi before the whole world. Whether big Mimi calls it ethical or unethical, this is the best journalism that Abebe has ever done. It is the best medicine for a ruthless tyrant and his worshippers.
Mimi cannot still get the fact that Abebe did not destroy Meles. It was the power of the truth that has shattered his false statesmanship and accomplishments into pieces. Mini, the woman that never grows up, seems to have a difficulty of understanding this simple fact. She says the journalist committed an act of treason as if he has had any allegiance with fascist dictator. She says the two had only political differences. Really? What political differences did Mussolini and Ethiopian patriots have? How naïve is big Mimi!
She goes on and on offering her expertise in ethical journalism while she could not even keep her job at Voice of America Amharic Service for performing far below the ethnical standard of journalism. Apparently, she was given the boots and shown the exit door by VOA bosses. But funnily enough, she still presents herself former VOA journalist while that happened long time ago. A simple message to Mimi is that she needs to move on rather than rehearsing nursery rhymes time and again before her audience on Paltalk and radio show.
Speaking of radio, Mimi is among the privileged few in Ethiopia to have opened an FM radio broadcast for insulting and deprecating dissidents and anyone who cries out freedom and justice. The spokeswoman of tyranny and her husband have also got well-known records of corruption from the US to Ethiopia. This is the woman who has embezzled millions. Southern Ethiopia region has been one of her milk cows.
One of the most serious acts of corruption she and her husband committed was guised under setting up an FM radio station for the southern Ethiopia regional state. They reportedly overcharged the state government by well over 500 percent. They got second rate imports with no spare parts and the “project” remained incomplete despite the fact that Mimi and Zerihun laughed their way to the bank. She even hired her husband as trainer of journalists despite the fact that he knows nothing about the profession. This is the woman who has the courage to teach a course in ethical journalism. Yes, the truth hurts!
Solom (Kindibu) Tekalign
I understand that mentioning the name of the coward is a taboo among many patriotic Ethiopians. While I understand the point, it is necessary to give a lesson or two to this trumpeter of tyranny.
The man, who sang the first love song for a macho tyrant, was given the cheapest fabrication by his TPLF bosses. According to his radio show that he broadcast on May 26th and subsequently distributed online via Aiga Forum, Abebe was arrested during the turmoil of election to 2005. Not only that Abebe was convicted of treason charges and was sentenced to 25 years in jail. But he got deranged while in jail and was granted clemency by a “merciful” tin pot dictator. With the help of his loved ones, he was sent to South Africa for treatment before he came to America.
TPLF’s lies are unimaginatively wild. Just for the record, the case against Solomon Tekalign and the distributor of the defamatory lies, Isayas Abay, is heading to court. But it would be suffice to say that Abebe left Ethiopia in 1998 and have never been back to Ethiopia. During the 2005 elections he was a full-time lecturer at the College of North East London. He has never been to South Africa, but, I know as a close friend, that he wishes to visit Robben Island (Island of Tears) where Nelson Mandela spent much of his 27-year incarceration.
As a matter of fact, he did not come to the US as a runaway convict. He came to the US in August 2008 as a winner of a prestigious fellowship, the John S. Knight Fellowship for Professional Journalists as well as Yahoo International Fellowship at Stanford University.
There is only one version of the truth. The take away for TPLF thugs and bullies is that it is hard to change the truth, which has never been on the side of liars, perjurers and fabricators. Sadly, TPLF, with all its soulless thugs under the leadership of Meles Zenawi, is empty and bankrupt. The countdown to end the deceitful Apartheid system it imposed on Ethiopia has begun in earnest.
I met this man in Addis. He has a big villa; over 1000 sq. mt. land for a home! He is very corrupt and has started businesses with his TPLF bosses. Will catch him definitely….. He can’t escape. Ethiopians should also know CISCO the cat among pigeons.
Nazi Hitler and Fascist Mussoloni all had collaborators and it is no wonder that some hodams and sub-humans blinded by their love of fascist Meles could not see the suffering of their people as Ethiopian hero, journalist Abebe Gelaw did. Abebe Gelaw understands and feels the suffering of his people unlike some of our politicians and “Firifari lekamis”
What I know this man, Isayas? I though he is a very respectful and polite man. Next time I meet him, I will spit in his face…
Thank you so much Ato Ewnetu Taye. The thugs will not have a hiding place as the final hours are approaching.
Great piece! Another exposure of the thugs. I live in San Jose but never suspected that this man was the hatemonger of Aigaforum. We will speak to him…SOON.
Is Isayas the twin brother of Melese from a different father? Thank you for exposing these tugs. It looks like some of them are blackmailed by the tug because they submitted to the master after serving prison. Well Isayas and the likes of him are sufferring from low selfsteem, self identity crisis(look who is calling the kettle ….).hate, greed and supermacy like the neo nazis and facists(IWW &IIWW). They are mouth pieces like muppets guided by one individual who is full of hate and bent on destroying our heritage, land and sovereignty for good (one can say he is trying to avenge his banda father and grandfather which is irriversible. he cannot rewrite history. What is “is”).. So these good for nothing hodams will pay for all the atrocities inflicted on the people of Ethiopia along with their masters the king and queen of corruption. Abebe is our hero for calling the spade spade(melese is a dictator!!!! and Banda )and opening the gate for united Ethiopians to standup and fight for 80+million Ethiopians against tyranny and genocide.
Amazing! Send this man to ICC…he is an accomplice to Meles, Sibehat and Bereket…, and the Agazi killers. This man has to be held accountable for the crimes he has been committing with impunity.
Look at this racist. The serpent seems to be a harmless man but he has been paying a key role in brutalizing our people. I think we should contact FBI; his crimes should not go unnoticed….Mimi and the Gang need not be ignored! Don’t mention Solomon Tekalign…He deserves no ones attention
What! I too have met him a few times. Let me see him; I will also spit in face. This man has been giving direction to killers and torturers while living in the West. Hhhh
Death to this Nazi. For so many years this man has caused great damage against Ethiopia and its people. Thank you Addis Voice…We now know what to do! I live in Sunny Vale
Glad to have a good neighbor.
Wechew Gud! Keleblaba Weyane Erkanun Kere! Exposed and naked…What a shame! kkkkkkk….. Wonderful job
It is good to know the enemy because we will hold him accountable in doe ime.
Bravo Addis Voice. This is great! The scumbags won’t have a hiding place. We will track them down.
Thanks Ewnetu for exposing this thugs and gangs!
The extreme Amhara Diaspora is increasingly isolated, rejected and reduced to a simple slandering and hate mongering block. Abebe Gellaw and his cheers and blind admirers belong to this worthless group and have no credibility and support among the majority in the Diaspora. The Diaspora majority are now aware of the progress and development Ethiopia is registering thanks to the determined and wise leadership of our Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. Our prime minister will not be distracted by the handful of extreme Amharas who have neither the agenda or vision of their own.
Be human! Here is your fallacy! Mr. Getachew Mequanent! Get out of your darkness before too late as it will take your humanity and will put you into endless hell! Be fast to save your soul!
Mimi and Zerihun! We know you! You are playing with fire. We have dozen of evidences to get you in jail if there is free court! You are the most corrupted journalist and philosophy lecturer respectively I ever seen in my life time!
The missing fundamental component in Zinawi’s overall personality is GUT.Zinawi rocked side to side with no fixed identity and had sevierly been suffered from a cronic inferiority complex and was shaped and modified by the beliefs he shared and associated with, and was released to this world fragile and self-distructive.Zinawi can not man up.
Being a pass-down from askaris and bandas who lived before him,Zinawi was born and grown up in a hate manufacturing house where there was no one to look upto to guide him for doing the right thing in the right way.Although,certainly Zinawi is extremely lethal and must be arrested and stand for a trial,it is also important to look for varieties of creative ways to distroy the whole distructive system that Zinawi and his partners in crime establihed and ran for the last 21 years.
Good!! Naming/ Shaming those who More Than Deserve is Good. But next time it is good to be more specific than dealing with generalities
Bravo Tebalé ! Bravo! Bravo!
Thank you for unmasking our enemies in public. Can you please unmask more of these animals??????????That way we will hold them accountable in the future for all their evil deeds against our people once these hateful evil creatures in power are gone?
Ethiopia needs a new generation of Abebe Gelaws who stand for equality, freedom, and democracy. Madela once said that shaking Haile Selasie’s hand was like shaking the hands of history itself, but I say for every Ethiopian living today shaking the hands of Abebe is like shaking the hands of 3000 years of history. Truly, Abebe we owe you a great deal of debt! Me personaly I dont hate Woyanes not because they are different from me in ethnicity but simply because of what they are doing to my country. I just simply dont believe they are on the right side of history and the system they created is full of hatred. But on the other hand I believe they are doing some good from the economic point of view. But economic growth without a Unified Ethiopia is like a house built on a pile of sand!
He is the spy master in San Jose. He is a dangerous man who may not refrain from killing free citizens. He is all over the city and his cadres and tugs are running around the restaurants and bars owned by Ethiopians. Star Bucks restaurants along the main boulevards next to habesha neighborhoods are invested with TPLF spies. I suspect he has a vey close ties with Chinese spies who took his soldiers black skins as wonderful cover. He has completely infiltrated the communities including Eritreans. His men are in the churches, in the mosques and companies in Silicon Valley. He used and bribed store owners and restaurant owners to spy on fellow innocent citizens. FBI should do a very good investigation concerning this individual. Spying of the TPLF agents on fellow Americans must be stopped. He uses and bribes innocent Amharas and educated elites who have business interestes with Addis Ababa government.
