'Is Meles Really Bad?' Politics  

Rita (68.147.165.113) -

I am amazed how many Ethiopians living abroad have lost their objectivity and independent thinking. I was appalled by the death of unarmed civilians in Addis Ababa and I would like to see investigation and even charges against those involved. But going out for demonstration in Washington DC and other places and bashing the EPRDF government will not result in any solution. The Melese government had done many mistakes but we should also recognize that they have also done many good things. Stop being naive and ask yourself next time you are standing in a demonstration whether you are just there for the social event or really believe of what you are doing. You are actually hurting the country as a whole when you describe the present government as a tyrant, investment money will stop flowing, instability creates shortage of essential amenities, etc..

Cheers!

now we lost two very important things.

1.independence(we are colonies of woyane)

2.economic crises(extremely poor)

so why do ask whether meles(woyane) is good or bad?

is it a question to be asked for pure ethiopians? however one who has been given his dinner may say woyane(meles) is good.

Well is meles bad or good?

In my eyes i think that meles is a wonderfull man if doing a fantastic job as being the priminster of Ethiopia. Where should i satrt thee Addis people have no right to do to the city and protest and ask for george's bush's help tough luck it didnt work cause you think your gonna take meles down your going to have to pass him. i reakon that the addis people,, the people who protested are people who have no lifee and are angry casue the prim minster is form Tigray. YOu know when i finsh school i am going to be a politiann and instead of being a politian for australia i will be working in Ethiopia. Thats all i have to say thak you for reading my message, P.S meles dont worry what they say and make sure they dont put u down cause you are doing a good job

Thank you

Meles is Bad or Good?

Pls don't Put this foolish equations on the web I'll leave this equations for person who designed this web? ethiopien people did not see good life , better economy, epdrf thinking how can destroy Oromo people and how can Tegrians live in oromo land etc.

one day or soon you don't see tegryen people at all in Ethiopia and Africa.

Males is good or bad

who gave the land for the oromos? please don't be proud of a boundary given 10 years ago. all the land in ethiopia is common ownership for all ethiopians since it is preserved by all our brothers okay! be rational! even assab is ethiopian's land! what we can't get is who will return it!

Why are you worrying so much about Meles? If you wish to know who is in charge and why, please go to www.eprdf.org.et and check out the Basic Documents section.

As for what is happening here, I recommend you come and see - or even checkout the reports of the IMF, World Bank or any other source of country information you trust.

I would't even dignify the racist and chauvinst comments.
