"... the issue of insurgency continues to trouble the region,
and Africa as a whole. The way forward is through development,
the way forward is thru legitimate opposition... it is not through
picking up arms and insurgency. It is a message that the African
Union (AU) needs to make much more loudly to its member states.”
--- Jendayi Frazier , U.S. Asst. Secretary of State
"Another somewhat
success story comes from the horn. Ethiopia has had quite a successful
experience in its recent efforts to improve its roads. In 1997,
Addis Ababa launched a Road Sector Development Programme (RSDP)
and, according to the ECA, a 2002 evaluation of the RSDP showed
an increase in the total classified road network by 40% over a
period of 5 years, with an increase of 107% in regional roads,
including tertiary roads. There was also an increase in the proportion
of roads in good condition from 18% in 1995 to 30% in 2002."
"Things have
changed, we are so tired of a pointless situation," said
the fighter's companion, careful not to be overheard and asking
not to be named. "People are suffering and the arguments
must stop to find a solution to the border."

Does
Ethiopian Review = EPRDF Propoganda Machine?
The
PRO EPRDF website Ethiopian Review has posted a video clip
of demonstrators chanting anti EPRDF slogans in Addis Ababa.
In that clip they even show Ethiopian police watching them
and respecting their right to demonstrate. Although the
numbers were not that much, the fact that they were able
to demonstrate in front of the police without fear and repercussion
says a lot about the Government's willingness to grow democracy
in Ethiopia. On that note we want to thank the Ethiopian
Review for the video which testifies to the openness (Perestroika)
in Ethiopia contrary to what a lot in Diaspora claim. If
that does not make Ethiopian Review Pro EPRDF, nothing ever
will!
We
urge the Patriotic Ethiopians to use that video as a reference
point when educating your Senators and Congressmen. Contrary
to what they are made to believe, the facts on the ground
are completely different than the lies spewed by HR 2003
proponents. In fact it is good to see the kind of anti Bush
demonstrations that we see in DC being repeated in Addis.
This says a lot about the evolution of democracy in our
nation.
In
fact if Ethiopian Review truly believed that the EPRDF was
a beast, we hardly think they would expose the demonstrators
on video. That would be sadistic. We also have no doubt
that if the demonstrators were scared of being arrested,
they would have turned away from the cameras and kept silent.

EMAIL from a Proud PFDJ cadre
Hagerfiker got an email from a proud
Shabia supporter stating that according to some study infant mortality
from Malaria dropped 50% in the last five years in Eritrea. This
proud Shabian thought we would be upset by this news. In fact
we are happy that our African brothers are dying less due to malaria.
What we are sad about is that their master Issayas has made up
for that decline by increasing the rate of death caused by war,
torture and escape.
Furthermore the birth rate in general
has probably declined since all able young people are forced into
slavery breaking rocks for their Shabia master. We assume that
the traditional family in Eritrea is also in decline since the
young people are not allowed to live their lives like other young
people in the world.
Lastly, our sources revealed that
the main reason the mortality rate declined from malaria in Eritrea
is because the Mosquitoes like their human brothers and sisters
from Eritrea are fleeing Eritrea en masse to neighboring countries.
The Washington
Post finally gets it partially correct. As we argued on
our commentary the war in Somalia is not only in Ethiopia's
interest but equally in the interest of the USA. In that
commentary (commentary
read here)
we tried to argue that the liberals when and if they get
the White House will have no choice but to continue the
Bush strategy. The Washington Post article has strongly
hinted at this by stating that "If the Islamists win,
Somalia could become a base for al-Qaeda and a staging point
for attacks in East Africa and Europe." The Europeans
should also be aware of this fact.
This realization
by the Washington Post does not fare well for those who
are proponents of HR 2003. Therefore, it is incumbent on
all Ethiopians to educate the US Senate and Congress not
to defeat HR 2003 (because HR 2003 is dead) but to make
them aware that there are shady elements among the Ethiopian
Diaspora who are lobbying and manipulating the US Congress
to pass an anti American bill. The dead HR 2003 bill would
have strengthened the hands of the Islamic forces to attack
the USA. We should educate our host nation about the snakes
in our midst who by their action are setting up disaster
for not only Ethiopia but the USA as well.
Just maybe this article by the Washington Post may
be the fruit of the education campaign being waged by Patriotic
Ethiopians.
Berhanu
Nega is not going back to Ethiopia according to one radio station
in Washington DC. If true, it confirms why he was so brave. He
knew he was not going back. What kind of leader abandons his flock
to conduct research when his supporters need him most?
This
is the face of CUD leadership. The one that wants to run a party
via remote control from the USA. Listen below!
"there
is a common agreement on the fact that, in the eventuality
of an outbreak of war, the Eritrean troops would come out
worst. One of the principal reasons given for this is the
current economic situation in Eritrea."
This
report is a testimony that all of Eritrea's efforts to destabilize
Ethiopia have been nothing but a total and utter failure. All
the monies they spent training all these groups has not produced
one victory. What a waste of Eritrean Nakfa!
Shabia
is good at creating Eritrean groups to act like Ethiopians. Just
like AFD never took root, this group of bozos will not fair any
better. Shabia you did not fool us with AFD and you will not fool
us with these clowns either!
This
must be very painful for the 3rd most aid dependent nation on
earth! It is good to see that the monies are being routed to the
Eritreans in the Ethiopian and Sudan refugee camps. No doubt it
will stimulate the local economies in Ethiopia and Sudan. Thanks
Issayas. People do say that both your parents are from Ethiopia.
Stimulating Ethiopia's economies would make your parents proud.
Bravo! Keep it up bro!

Shabia
Ministry of Intoxication
Several
weeks ago the intoxicated Shabia leadership predicted that
Ethiopia would launch a war the first week of November.
As we are just a few days away from entering the last week
of November, it appears Shabias intelligence unit prediction
has been proven wrong and inept. We have no doubt that the
Shabian intelligence unit is fueled by the volume of alcohol
it consumes before it makes policy and propaganda decisions.
The Shabia prediction became the focus of conversation of
many websites, radio stations and Paltalk rooms. As usual
anything Shabia says or predicts turns out nothing more
than hot air. The Sun never setting is the symbol that illustrates
Shabia bravado and emptiness.
As we stated the Shabia policy is dictated by the volume
of alcohol it consumes before it makes decisions with serious
implications. Therefore, we do not consider it bold to predict
that the latest delivery of Johnny Walker to the Shabian
Palace in Massawa may have had double the content of Alcohol
normally delivered. We say this because the Shabian propaganda
machine has just blown this news about Ethiopia declaring
war click
here to read
into the media breathalyzer. As far as we can tell the breathalyzer
has concluded that the Shabia Propaganda machine is guilty
of PWI or (Propagandizing While Intoxicated.)
Shabia is now declaring that "Ethiopia has declared
war." Shabia have you no shame embarrassing yourself
in the public medium crying day in and day out. If Ethiopia
has declared war, then you can do something about it yourself.
Why do you have the need to cry like a helpless child? Whatever
happened to your; I am a superpower state of mind. What
happened to I can eat breakfast in Mekelle and lunch in
Addis propaganda. Look what you have resorted to these days.
You surely must be badly beaten, deflated and demoralized
to have gone from a Superpower just a few years ago to a
Paper Tiger today. Ayeee Shabia Ambessa!
