  • Ethiopia sees highest Eritrean refugee influx "Some 617 Eritrean refugees fled an ordeal in their country and crossed into Ethiopia in Nov.," he said in a statement. "Of the total who sought asylum ... 289 are Eritrean army members." Some 25,000 Eritreans are sheltering in Ethiopia, he said.
  • Ethiopia to construct 200-hectare-wide ICT park This is huge. This will no doubt inject many billions of dollars into the economy via investments. There are so many Ethiopians trained in IT who are currently locked out of the investment arena because Ethiopia does not yet have the infrastructure needed to invest in that field. IT is the engine of all modern economies and this will be a major accomplishment.

    Hagerfiker Commentaries and Articles

    Atse Hailu Shawel was coronated yesterday as King of all Paltalkers.

    In an amazing display of intrigue and Tenkole the Diaspora Paltalk community yesterday was presented with a well orchestrated coronation of Aste Hailu Shawel. The organizers of the coronation were very well organized and managed to coordinate and bring to Paltalk many members of the now dead CUD leadership. One after another they took turns glorifying the almighty Hailu Shawel basically putting him one notch below the almighty LORD! One such leader stated that without Hailu Shawel CUD could not exist. To which the Paltalk room displayed flowers and appreciation. Aste Hailu now sits on his throne on a frozen pond in Minnesota.


    On the flip side, the CUD'ites who support Berhanu Nega and Birikwan Mideksa were handed their heads on the platter by the Hailu Shawel faction. The one thing the coronation managed to do is show that the Hailu Shawel faction owns the core leadership of the now defunct CUD. It also is doing a better job convincing the folks in Ethiopia that the Hailu Shawel factions' dead corpse smells better than the Berhanu faction dead corpse. At the end of the day, it's about whose funeral turns out more supporters.

    Aste Hailu , a King that does not come through Mariam Tsion in Axum will never sit in Menelik Palace as Emperor! Ask Janahoi!

    Paltalk Generals

    The current civil war of the formerly CUD factions has now again injected itself amidst our peaceful existence. What we do not understand is what they are fighting about. In order to fight for an organization, that organization has to exist. CUD in its former state is no more. CUD in its former state will never be. Apparently some of these folks have nothing better to do so they create non existing scenarios so that the time they spend in Paltlak will be more entertaining and will help them pass another boring day with a bit more spice than the day before. In other words Paltalk today is the modern version of the Starbuck Political forums of yesteryear. Today instead of gathering at Starbucks to discuss politics, these folks sit at home drinking their own coffee, chewing their own chat and still thinking that their discussions actually make a difference.

    (HR 2003 Dead on Arrival!)

    "They are working together in fighting violent Islamist influence in the Horn of Africa, especially Somalia.

    But at the moment, there is one major irritant to the relationship - a bill known as HR2003, which would restrict US military assistance to Ethiopia because of its poor human rights record.

    It has already been approved by the US House of Representatives.

    It is unlikely to pass in the Senate or get presidential approval but even so, it is the subject of constant loud condemnation in Addis Ababa. " More

    Editor's Note

    If my memory is correct, KIL (Kinijit International Leadership) has been dissolved and the elected leaders of CUD are now free. If so, how does Ato Andargachew consider himself as “a leader” of CUD? The last time I checked, Ato Hailu Shawel is still the elected leader of the party. Unless it is a power hangover from KIL days, Ato Andargachew is not a “leader” of CUD. Moreover, as Ato Andargachew stated on a record he is now a British citizen. Thus, Ethiopia cannot be run by a British citizen. Just for the record! (Ben we agree!)

    Ben telling it like it is!

    Presidential candidate Giulianis Firm Lobbied for Bill Considered Threat

    The underhanded lobbying efforts by the CUD in the USA is coming back to bite the players who lobbied on the bills behalf. The fact that this has become an issue is testament that the bill is an Anti-American bill. The Ethiopians who pushed this bill will now be betrayed by Giuliani as he will no doubt reject any association with this anti American action....Seyoum Solomon is having his fifteen minutes of infamy but he thinks he has won the Superbowl..Were not the oppostion supporters making a big deal about the Ethiopian Government using lobbying firms. The CUD used 90 thousand dollars from their mere coffers for one lobby firm. Read more from this fall out below.

    We just wanted to share with some of you who will remain nameless some wisdom which may not be something you want to hear. Driven by pure unadulterated hate for the EPRDF, you have been advocating some very anti Ethiopian positions. Among the top two, we can point to your pro Shabia and pro ONLF, Jihadist positions as examples. We know as well as you do, that this position is driven by your desire to attain power by any means possible. What you fail to realize is that if any of the named groups achieve their objectives, you will never see that power you so desire. The only way for you to attain that power is to work within the existing system. Any other approach such as riding on the backs of the aforementioned groups will end you up below their feet if by miracle they achieve their objectives.


    Lastly we figured you were better tacticians than you apparently have demonstrated. We are not sure how you have missed the following. The greater the insurgency in Somalia the greater support EPRDF will get from the international community. This means the west and the east. The great powers of the world be it USA, China or Europe want a stable world from which they can conduct their free trade agendas. Everyone knows that the jihadists you support are one of the obstacles to that stability. Therefore, you have unwittingly been supporting EPRDF by cheering the insurgency on. Nonetheless, no matter what happens, EPRDF keeps gaining strength and momentum. EPRDF will thrive in peace because peace breeds prosperity and success. However EPRDF will prosper in the insurgency because the world knows minus the EPRDF and the brave Ethiopian army, the war on terror would not be going so well. Therefore cheer all you want when you hear of some insurgency in Mogadishu. We figured that we should let you know that you are actually cheering for the EPRDF.
