The whole of the diaspora community commemorates this day all over the world. London also played its part by coming out in strong number to show our togetherness with the people of Ethiopia which is under siege.

The minority Tigrean lead government Melese Zenawi as its head has committed a crime which hasn’t been seen in Ethiopian history.Even-though he has got oust-side backing the people of Ethiopia with in and outside the country are working hard to remove it.

As we know the struggle has been bloody and ruthless at the end the people of Ethiopia will be victorious. All who are responsible for this horrendous crime will face justices.

This has been confirmed by the UN. Unless something radical happens the looming war is going to happen sooner than later. This might be the downfall of the brutal regime in Addis led by Melese. His government has lost the confidence of the people of Ethiopia and it assumed no body will come to his support.Read

Fully armed woyane soldiers pretending to be Islamic activist committed horrendous crime at Ethiopian orthodox church in Jimma. This attempt by the ruling government to divide Ethiopians among their ethnic and religion lines has been going for long time. What we have seen in Jimma is beyond all expectation.

The people of Ethiopia have been living in peace without taking their difference in to account for centuries. This is for sure the trade mark of Woyane known as TPLF. I don’t know for how long the people of Ethiopia tolerate a brutal regime like this not any more.

All this crime committed by woyane have been documented, when the right time comes all those who committed such atrocities will face justices. Watch

After the president of the interim government troops Abdullahi Yesuf supported by Melese’s agazi force seized the strategic town of Burhkaaba the Islamist massing their fighters to take over the town.

The adventures act of Melese in Somalia some assumed will be his down fall. The guy under pressure from all front accused Eritrea in sponsoring all forces against him including the Islamist.

In his own turf and established by himself the government backed inquiry commission declared there were a violation of human right in great proportion and more than 193 people massacred.

After he made outrageous remark on woyane website and by going live on Negat radio claiming he has fired two top member of KIL major Yosef has been suspended from KIL.
He was the chairman of both kinijit north america and KIL. He controlled the finance of both organization believed to be involved in corruption. After the auditor in charge find him of guilty in in-properly using the fund Yosef made this step to defend the indefensible crime he has committed.

One of the good example of Ethiopian journalism Demesse Of Negat radio gave a very exclusive interview on tenase radio. The determination and dedication by this Ethiopian hero is enormous.

He’s ambitious,frank and talented. His love to the country we call home is in-comparable. In his word whatever hurdles comes in his way, he won’t hesitate even for a second to do what he thinks is best for his country. His radio Negat will soon be able to reach in Ethiopia and hopefully he’ll pass the necessary information back to our people which is starving from independence news. I’m sure it’ll send a shock wave to the brutal regime in Addis.

The days of woyane are numbered. They are facing all out war from every corner of Ethiopia this year EPPF being one of the front. Demesse has spent a lot of time with our freedom fighters in the front line and confirmed they’re strong than ever.

The leader of the Islamic Court Union Sheikh Shari declared a holly war against Ethiopian troops . The estimated three battalion of Ethiopians troops supported by their counter part of the interim president Abdula Yesuf’s troops advanced and took over the strategic town of Burhakaba.

This move angered the the more reserved leader of Islamic Court Union Sheikh Shari and reported he made a very explosive speech on this matter. The more determined fighters of the union controlling the wide area of Somalia are preparing to make an all assault war against the Ethiopian troops and promised to defeat them with the help of god.

This is definitely a bold move by Dictator Meles Zenawi gambling to get a desperate help from the Americans for his crumbling regime. This brutal leader under pressure within and outside the country are trying to divert attention from the real oppression which is going on in Ethiopia right now.

Korat London the EPPF chapter in UK organized a constructive meeting of the AFD in london. At the meeting the representatives of Kinijit, EPPF, Korat,OLF and SLF were present.
It started with all giving a ten minutes briefing and passed with a lot of applauds and cheers. Then after a tea break a question and answer session continued. The question came fast and thick and all participants put their concern to the floor. Some with pessimisms and most with full of optimisims. It reflected the general situation we're in now.
The organizers promised to continue to hold a forum like this in the future. In my opinion it answered most of un-answered questions. If it was done early,all the confusion and fear in which some expressing would have been cleared. Any way it was a good start. Part of the meeting Watch

Ethiopians made several calls to the office of Mr. Hastert and demonstrated outside the congress to show their support for HR5680 Ethiopian human right bill. The action to delay this bill to come to the floor was made by the same gentleman. The importance of the bill is enormous. Whenever Ethiopians cry the god listen. We have been a victim of a leader in question. CNN - report the new scandal which brought all the right attention to the so called leader Read and BBC report Watch

The metting of kinijit support group in London has a fruitful discussion on the formation of KIL(Kinijit International Leaders) and AFD (Alliance for Democracy and Freedom). The guest speakers included Ato Getachew Wana, Ato Andargachaw Tsege and Ato Kifle Mulat.

It started with Ato Getachew giving a briefing on the two issues followed by Ato Andargachew’s comment. Before a question and answer session Kifle Mulat gave a conciliatory comment on the current situation underlining the suffering of those in woyane prison.

He advised all the opposition groups to unite and stop preaching diffrent political ideas so that him and our people can be liberated from tyranny. He added we should concentrate on the enemy which has a monopoly on our national treasure and use that privilege for bad intent to undermine the national interest of the country as well as to arrest,force to exile,torcher , spy and even by going furthuer to assassinate its own people. He mentioned himself as an example by quoiting his three months period in jail.

The question and answer session was full of emotions. It was really the spirit of the true kinijit in which some question the integrity of the two organization and others answering the contrary believing the true nature of KIL and AFD. It finishes by promising to form another forum and continue on the discussion. Part of Kifle’s speech Watch

The day today treat on their live and the in- ability to work independently is forcing a lot of journalist to abandoned this brutal regime. After loosing the may 2005 election it has been the norm of the regime to silence the free press. In fact most of them now days are either suffering in jail accused un-lawfully or exiled. Those who call themselves democrat in the west seems not to care. The double standard showing by the west ignoring the fact and giving the helping hand makes things worst in the disappear demonstrating their grievances also got nothing in response. The only way to solve the problem is to rely on ourselves. When we start to show our strong side those who against us will come to the table list of the recent batch of journalist abandoning the regime:-
