Londoners condemn treasonous border deal

By Wondimu Mekonnen     Ethiopians in London met Sunday at the Ethiopian Community Hall to discuss the looming danger brought about by the Meles Zeanwi's regime's treasonous deal that handed over the most fertile territories and historical lands of the country to the Sudan. The meeting started with audio clips obtained from various sources, such as the VOA Amharic Service, Deutsche Welle Amharic Service and others. In addition a well co-ordinated compilation, comparing and contrasting the speech of Prime Minister, aka Prime Misery Meles Zenawi, and the counter evidence from Prof. Mesfin Woldemariam and the victimized local residents was played.

Quotation of the Day


No regrets over making Ethiopia landlocked
Dictator Meles Zenawi has said that he never regretted to have allowed Eritrea to secede with 1000 km of coastline that has ended Ethiopia’s access to the Red Sea since time immemorial. Answering questions in Tigrigna sent to him by listeners on Dimsti Weyane Tigray, the tyrant claimed that his decision to surrender all of Ethiopia’s coastlines has never affected any development endeavours. Disregarding the fact that foreign ports cost the poor nation over $300 million annually, surpassing hard currency earnings from coffee export, Meles said that there is no correlation between development and the loss of the nation’s ports. He claimed that the country has accelerated economic development in the last four years.
He also told his listeners that the root-cause of the bloody Ethio-Eritrean conflict was political and economic rather than a dispute over tiny villages. [Listen to report]
