THE MASTER AND THE DUMMY
Hama Tuma
There is a Yiddish saying that states one lie is a lie.two are lies but three is politics. The recent exuberant declaration by Obama praising the dictatorial regime in Ethiopia smacked of pure and unadulterated imperial /ist/ politics. In the above photo taken at the White House the puppet master and the ladies smile while the dummy looks, expectedly, uncomfortable, constipated, droopy-bent and totally ill at ease. The lies were even too much for the powerless vessel of lies.

Today, on September 30,2014 members and supporters of the EPRPNorwy occupiedthe Woyane «Ethiopian» Embassy in Stockholm. The protest is organized by members of the EPRP’sYouth League, Women Wing and supporters.

The Woyane regime still has not disclosedabout their whereabouts. None of the disappeared was ever brought before a court of law.
The violent arrival of Woyane.

We Ethiopians witnessed what those that control our country are capable of doing to unarmed citizens. I am sure the action of the TPLF solder in front of their Embassy in Washington DC is the talk of the town. It is unfortunate that we are not equipped to discuss the criminal act in all its attributes. It has to be put in some form of context to fully understand the criminal act.

THE KIM IL CUT
Hama Tuma
Africans are used to the unkindest cut them of all, most leading to brutal deaths. Bad governance and tyranny, famine and poverty, ethnic cleansing and massacres—you name it and we have lived it even when the neo colonials pamper us with praises of non-existent double digit economic growth as we starve and die. Oh yes, Obama is an honorable man!

Ethiopia/Eritrea-Anatomy of love/hate relationship.
Yilma Bekele
This issue of Eritrea has been with us for more than I can remember. In fact it is fair to say like most of you I have lived all my life being affected by the problem with our relatives to the North. Considering the life expectancy in our ancient land it would not be farfetched to conclude for the vast majority of our people the Eritrean question has been like an albatross hanging our neck stopping us from thinking in a straight and rational manner.
The divide
Gemencho
It was a show the invited African tyrants put at Mandela’s memorial in South Africa. Watching them tripping over each other to pay homage to a man, who, if truth be told, would have banished or put to death, given the opportunity, was incredible. As if that was not enough, ESAT gave the stage to Mengistu to “honor” Mandela .

The perils of outsourcing the fight for freedom
By Yilma Bekele
I could have titled this piece ‘Obama and his Africa peace keepers’ but that would not be fair. Anybody with half a brain can see that I am trying to make my issue to be his problem. Excuse me just because fighting for my right is beneath my dignity there is no reason to impose on him that I am unable to do for whatever reason. Dear Mr. President we Africans are not amused!

U.S.–Africa Summit Highlights Challenges of Africa’s Rise
Sadiq A. Abdirahman
As part of President Obama’s comprehensive strategy for engagement in Africa, the first United States and Africa Summit was convened in Washington, DC. All but three of Africa’s heads of states were present. According to the Obama administration, the summit is intended to foster strong economic ties between the United States and African countries. It will show and explain the investment opportunities Africa holds for U.S businesses.
THE US-AFRICA SUMMIT: AN EXERCISE IN FUTILITY
Ethiopian People´s Revolutionary Party (EPRP) Press Release
The US-Africa summit is vintage exercise in futility, a waste of the American taxpayer's money. For this summit, president Obama has invited the dregs and dictator of Africa to Washington DC, to wine and dine and, alas, to praise them by taking of a mirage of an economic growth, democratic progress and a bright future. Fiction par excellence.

Hitherto, I have been reluctant to post a commentary regarding the World Bank’s suggested birr devaluation measure which is still being debated as we speak. I was reluctant partly because my highly received 2010 commentary addressed many of the issues that seem.......

BRUTAL BEATINGS AND TORTURE CONTINUE IN ETHIOPIA
WEINSHET MOLA is a young female political activist and a meber of the Semeyawi party (she is also a member of the National Council) and was recently subjected to a barbaric beating session (right arm broken, skull cracked, body heavily bruised, etc...) in the hands of the regime's police and security force. Weinshet in now held incommunicado. Only last Friday, the police provoked a clash with Muslims praying in the Anwar Mosque of Addis Abeba and rushed into the Mosque in great numbers to beat up, maim and even kill innocent Muslims. In Northern Shoa, repression against Amharas has claimed many lives. Bloggers have been charged with terrorism.

REPRESSION IN ETHIOPIA INTENSIFIES
The brutal police of the regime stormed the Anwar Mosque in Addis Abeba and violently beat up numerous Ethiopian Muslims and rounded up many others. The unjustified violence is part of the regime's continuing campaign to break up and stifle the peaceful protest of Ethiopian Muslims for their basic human and democratic rights. One report indicates that at least one person has been critically wounded from a gunshot. For very long now the repressive regime has been trying to break and halt the peaceful protest from aggrieved Muslims.
