I do not believe this country belongs to a single bully (gulbetegna) [thug]. This land was built by my father and mother, grand-parents and great grandparents. No one can force me into exile. No one can intimidate me and take away my rights as an Ethiopian. I won’t let it happen. Let me make it…
Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. We say we are for…
… We have a big problem generating foreign exchange. I want to appeal to you now to bring the money [dollars, Euros] you have stashed away in Dubai. We are facing severe hard currency problems. We have the problem not as a government but as a country. We want you to help us now. I’m…

Author’s Note: Last week, a gang of thugs, hooligans and hoodlums launched a violent terrorist attack on the Embassy of Ethiopia in London in an apparent attempt to occupy the premises and quite possibly take hostages. The terrorist attack on the Ethiopian Embassy could easily have become a repeat of the Iranian Embassy siege that…
When someone is faking grief and sorrow, it is said they are shedding crocodile tears. What should it be called when someone is faking contrition, repentance and remorse? Crocodile apology! That is exactly what Amnesty International offered Ethiopia last week. A phony apology. Amnesty International’s “apology” is as fake as Donald Trump’s hair. Amnesty International,…
Author’s Note: In the commentary below, I explain why every Ethiopian should rise up and defend Ethiopia’s name and honor against the well-planned and coordinated attack of the Axis Gang of Five who masquerade as human rights defenders and impartial media.
