If it was as we were told by EPRDF propagandists for years, Ethiopia would have been exporting electricity to Sudan and the entire east Africa.If it was as Meles' promise, every citizen would have been able to eat three times a day 7 years ago. But the reality is now, after 17 years of Meles, Addis residents are still taking turns for electricity and millions of Ethiopians are starving every five years.

Engineer Hailu Pulled out from a Radio Interview

2008-03-07T08:27:00.000-08:00

Engineerr Hailu has reportedly pulled out from a radio interview he was booked to discuss "the complex politics of Ethiopia." The reason, as explained later by his representative, Dr. taye, was "he didn't want to discuss the party's internal issues on the show-which was not the purpose of the interview to begin with.But the show host said the engineer pulled out because he didnt want to appear on the same station Berhanu is on-even berhanu was scheduled to appear on a different segment via telephone.How absurd is that!!!!

Oops, He Did It Again!!!

2008-03-05T08:35:00.000-08:00

Yeah, it was Dr Berhanu and his group that was the target of Ato Bedru's venomous attack since september 2007. But now Eng. Hailu is also included in his attack list.Just months ago, he was on various diaspora media outlets and townhall meetings trying to convince audiences how GREAT Eng. Hailu is-listen to this and this-( and, ofcourse, how evil Dr berhanu and his group are). Those days are gone now, friends. These time he attacks kinijit (the party) in general and Ato Hailu and Dr Taye in particular. Read it here for yourself.

Discussing the Real Issue

2008-01-31T11:38:00.000-08:00

The discussion in and around the opposition camp has been on trivial matters for too long. Saddly enough, we haven't heard as much on issues that really matter in moving the struggle forward.Recently we came across a really interseting writing by Andargachew Tsige that is monumental in steering the discussion in the direction we all need to head. We need our elits to do some thinking and pitch in their ideas.
