Ethiopia Facing New Famine With 4.5 Million Children in Danger of Starvation (Reuters 06/05/08) "Ethiopia is facing a new famine as drought and rising food prices threaten starvation for 4.5 million children, aid agencies warned. 

Children under five are worst affected with more than 75,000 suffering from severe malnutrition and in need of urgent care, according to Unicef.

An estimated 3.4 million Ethiopians will need emergency food aid over the next three months while nearly double that figure are at risk of malnutrition.

The World Food Programme estimates that £75 million is needed to help look after those children at risk of hunger."

Colonel Asrat Bogale Once Again Dismissed - and leaves behind a legacy of deception, ethnic divisiveness, character assassination, and embezzlement of funds that were raised for patriots. On June 2, 2006, Asrat was dismissed from his temporary chairmanship of Ethiopian National United Front (ENUF) formerly headed by Scientist Kitaw Ejigu, after only four months in office. Some members of ENUF were manipulated by Asrat into forming a break-away organization, the Ethiopian National United Patriotic Front (ENUPF). Having discovered the true colors of Asrat Bogale in the span of four months,  the Central Committee of ENUPF has now dismissed Asrat and dissolved the Central Committee. Ethiopian patriots beware. Do not be swindled by this individual whose history of deception goes back to the era of the DERG and later his role in the Ethiopian Democratic Union (EDU).  Read ENUPF Press Release (10/11/06)

FC Image   Back to the 1960s - US has installed dictators  to facilitate its exploitation of Africa's resources. Meles Zenawi is the guardian angel. Ethiopian citizens must be ready for Iraq-type carnage. 

Empire Wars : Somalia (dailtmotion.com Video of CNN Report)

EDITORIAL NOTE: George W. Bush's mercenaries led by Meles Zenawi massacred over 1300 civilians in Mogadishu in April 2007. Over 325,000 were displaced.  No wonder the Tigray People's Liberation Front's troops are emboldened to commit ethnic genocide in Somalia. Like father like son! No wonder George is beating around the bush when it comes to the crimes committed by Sudanese Arab racists and their Toms.

Somalia: The New Front in the War on Terror (02/10/07) "“The recent intervention by the U.S. planes to bomb (fleeing) Somali locations has complicated Africa’s position. It has muddied the water. As a result, whoever intervenes by deploying troops in Somalia will be seen as a U.S. agent,” David Monyae, a lecturer in international relations at South Africa’s University of Witwatersrand, told IPS. Reports of sporadic attacks on Ethiopian troops by Somali gunmen are increasingly common. Ethiopian Premier Zenawi said his forces would stay in Somalia for only “a few weeks,” raising fears of a power vacuum if the Ethiopian troops pull out."

Coming Storm in Somalia Threatens Regional War (Guardian, 12/14/06) "Watching Somalia right now is like standing on a beach, waiting for a category five hurricane to hit. The storm is approaching fast, there seems little that can be done, and the ensuing destruction will be terrible - and far-reaching. The looming Somali cataclysm threatens to spark a regional war, suck in east African and Arab actors, and create a dangerous new theatre in the polarising, global contest between western power and Islamist jihadism. Somalia has the potential to make Darfur look like a little local difficulty."

The states highlighted in red (including Ethiopia) bear the marks of failed states on a global index. Country Indicator Scorecard

 

The Woyane regime headed by Meles Zenawi has created a corrupt, inapt, poverty stricken terrorist state manifested by weak military and civil service; poorly trained and corrupt police force and judiciary.  There is not even a semblance of democracy in Ethiopia.

Meles Zenawi's Tragic-Comedy in the Chambers of the EPRDF/Woyane So Called "Parliament" (eppf.info.org 02/12/07 Click on Link and then the pictures to watch video) A drama produced by Zenawi at Dedebit and played by Seyoum Mesfin,  Girma Wolde Georgis, Kemal Bedri, Teshome Toga, Tarekegn Imagnu, Negasso Giddada, Beyene Petros, and Marara Gudinna. A theater staged to smear Ethiopia's history and her people's struggle to establish democracy. A futile attempt by the US Department of State to legitimize Meles Zenawi authoritarian regime's 2005 corrupted parliamentary elections "victory" and the incarceration and fallacious charges of crime against Engineer Hailu Shawel et. al.  A must see video that exposes the hypocrisy of the George W. Bush presidency. Remember US Charge D' Affairs Vickie Huddleston concocted this broth of "parliamentarians" and threw the legitimate peoples' representatives who refused to participate in this charade into the dungeons.

Gates, who made the announcement Tuesday in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, said  President George W. Bush had decided to stand up the new command, creating a fifth regional command led by a four star officer."

US Trained Meles Zenawi Aagazi Troops Suffer Heavy Causalities; "Anti-Terrorist Offensive" Spurs Deadly Violence in Somali Capital  (news.yahoo.com -afp, 03/30/07)  MOGADISHU (AFP) - Seven Ethiopian soldiers were killed on Thursday in Mogadishu, and two of their bodies dragged through the streets amid heavy fighting sparked by an Ethiopian offensive against insurgents. Dozens of men and women pulled the bodies of two soldiers though the street, shouting "We will kill the Ethiopian troops", while five other bodies in Ethiopian uniforms lay on the ground in the southern district of Shirkole." 

EDITORIAL NOTE (03/30/07): Unlike the Ethiopia Mothers Who Were Slaughtered While Trying to Save Their Children, Somali Insurgents are Armed and Ready to Fight Meles Zenawi Mercenaries. "As the situation in Somalia unraveled differently than expected, we had to withdraw troops gradually in two rounds. Hence, two-thirds of our troops have been withdrawn so far," Meles said in a speech to his EPRDF parliament."  Obviously, the coward descendant of traitor Bandas thought he would be facing unarmed women and youth in Mogadishu as he did in Addis Abeba.  For him the worst is yet to come. Donald Yamamoto will not be able to save Zenawi! We had warned in an editorial in December 2006 that the current scenario will unravel in Somalia. Our warning was, as usual, brazenly ignored by the US Department of State.
