<p>This 42 pages confidential document, obtained by Addisvoice.com, is the basis of the Meles regime’s complaints against Voice of America, Amharic radio program, VOA-Amharic for providing a media platform to its critics.</p>
<p>The period covered in the document is from January 2011 to May 2011.</p>
<p>The document provides irrefutable evidence that the tyrannical regime in Ethiopia is out to silence every little voice of dissent and critical view. Meles Zenawi has used freedom of expression as a tool to identify his &#8220;enemies&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><em>By Geletaw Zeleke, 21 June 2011</em> — Development is knowingly understood as a positive and desirable change. Whenever this kind of progress takes place in a given country it has a positive impact on the day to day lives of fellow citizens. Farmers, civil servants, businessmen and citizens as a whole will benefit from the much needed rain of development.The Ethiopian government has trumpeted rapid development since it has been in power. It claims to have achieved “double digit” growth over the last seven years even in the face of a worldwide recession.    <a title=" " href="http://ethioforum.org/?p=6686">Full story</a></p></blockquote>

<strong>The kidnapping and torture of Captain Teshome Tenkolu </strong></p>
<p>This is a sad story about an Ethiopian Air Force officer, Captain Teshome Tenkolu, who was forced to spend two years in underground jails by the regime of the Tigrean Peoples Liberation Front (Woyanne). When he was released after two years, he was told that he is innocent and that his country needs him now. They asked him to return to the air force as a pilot, which gave him a chance to escape to a neighboring country with an air force plane. He is currently residing in a foreign country as a refugee. <a href="http://tassew.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/moto_menesat_sene1999.pdf">Click here to read the full story: Amharic &#8211; pdf, 33pp</a>.)</a><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">Fabrication of Ethiopian History Continues Unabated</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#993300;">July 22, 2010  ,  </span>Seyoum Gelaye, Professor</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ethiopia.org’s July 18, 2010 interview with Mr. Hassan Abdullahi- Ogaden Liberation Front’s (ONLF&#8217;s) Ethiopian Affairs, and Foreign Relations officer- is a good start. We trust that this dialogue will be perused further because Mr. Hassan was allowed to echo-unchallenged- Oromo Liberation Front’s (OLF’s), Eritrean Liberation Front’s (EPLF’s), and Tigri Liberation Front’s (TPLF’s) fictitious histories as his justification for Ogade’s Non-Ethiopianess by repeatedly pointing out article 39 (1) in TPLF’s constitution, which states, “Every Nation, Nationality and people in Ethiopia has an unconditional right to self-determination, including the right to secession.”<span id="more-100"></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The fallacies of TPLF’s constitution and Mr. Hassan’s subsequent declaration have not been adequately challenged by the interviewer. Ogaden has never been an independent African Nation, such as: Uganda, Kenya, Sudan etc., for a nation signifies a self-governing and sovereign territory, inhabited by people sharing similar culture, values, and mores with a strong economic interrelationship, and recognized as such by other independent nations throughout the world. Ogaden or the other nine so called “nations” and “nationalities” in the present Ethiopia are TPLF’s creation emanating from Joseph Stalin’s Communist Constitution.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The “nation” and “nationality” designations, unfortunately, are direct copies from the constitution of the then Soviet Union. Joseph Stalin forcefully annexed officially independent nations in Europe, Asia and formed the United Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR). The Radical Leftists of Ethiopia and other dubious individuals like: Melese Zenawi, Isayas Afewerk etc have copied verbatim the defunct Marxism, and Leninism ideology of the then USSR and have attempted to impose these alien USSR experiences on the nation of present Ethiopia. Ethiopia is a home to many linguistic groups. During the Country’s 5000 years of recorded history, its citizens have interspersed sometimes voluntarily, and at other times due to internal conflicts, or because of trade resulting in intermarriage, and settlement in various parts of Ethiopia. As a result, one time Oromo speakers are now speaking Tigrigna, Amargna, Guragigna, Sidamegna, Wolayetagna and vice versa.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Also, according to Mr. Hassan, Ogaden has been an independent country prior to Menelik II’s (Reign 1889-1913) “invasion and annexation”. He further stated that ONLF is not only fighting to fully enshrine TPLF’s constitution but also to enforce United Nation’s post colonial charter designed to give rights to only the nations who were occupied by European colonial powers. This UN Charter does not have relevance to Ethiopia.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Eritrea was granted its independence by Melese Zenawi using the same assertions and presently OLF, ONLF, TPLF are pursing the same bankrupt agenda.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mr. Hassan has gotten away with the distortion that Ogaden was a colony of Ethiopia. However, the fact is that Ogaden and- for that matter- the whole of Somalia was one time part and parcel of Ethiopia’s territory.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There are no nations and nationalities in Ethiopia. Instead, in Ethiopia’s context there are Negedes or Gossas and not Nations and nationalities.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Immam Ahmed Ebrahim, who was multi-ethnic Ethiopian (Somali/Adal/Belew), invaded Ethiopia using the present Somali (Including Ogaden) as his spring board and ruled for fifteen years all the territories extending up to Lake Tana. After Immam Ahmed’s defeat, a large number of his surviving fighters settled in all parts of the Country, adopting the local languages, cultures, and since then most have become Amargna, Tigregna, Guragigna, Wolaitigna, etc. speakers.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Immam Ahmed Ebrahim’s war of destruction took place during and after the era of Atse Libna Dengel of Ethiopia (1508-1540); this was 373 to 381 years prior to the coronation of Menelik II as an Emperor of Ethiopia.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mr. Hassan also emphatically declared that the Amhara King, Menelik II of Shoa, invaded all independent “nations” in the south, including Ogaden, some hundred years ago and forcefully annexed these “independent nations” with the highland territories of the then “Amhara Kinggom.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Menelik II- akin to most Ethiopians then and now- is multiethnic. His mother (Woizero Ejigayehu Lemma Adyamo) was a concierge in King Sahle Sillasse Palace in Ankober. Menelik II was, therefore, the son of Prince Haile-Melekot (Son of King Sahle Sillasse) and Woizero Ejigayehu Lemma Adyamo. After the birth of Menelik, Woizero Ejigayehu Lemma Adyamo had to move to Angolel near Debreberhane, where the baby Menelik spent his 11 Gobena Dacho, the son of Tulema Oromo leader Dacho.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Contrary to Ato Hassan’s assertion, Ethipia’s history did not start and end with Menelik II. Menelik II succeeded Yohannis IV (1831-1889). Yohannis’ Ethiopia was threatened and invaded by various colonizing powers from Europe, Middle East, and North Africa. Emperor Yohannes was always, therefore, seeking diplomatic and/or military support from Christian Nations all over Europe. The following is an excerpt of a letter Yohannis wrote in 1881 to Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">“I will be satisfied if Your Majesty will mediate, so long as it is done on the basis of what my ancestors, the Emperors of Ethiopia, held prior to the fall of the regime due to the advent of Gragn. After Gragn, the Empire was regained during Sertse Dengel, Iyaasu I, and Fasil, and later was lost by a certain Gugsa… To the east and south [...east] the boundary is the sea. To the west north, where there Haran Dawa, Gash, Massawa, Bedew Shoho, and Tiltal. Further, the regions inhabited by Galla, Shankilla, and Adal is all mine and yet recently in the middle of Shoa [!], a place known by the name of Harar was taken [from us]. All the same I listed these places so that my country’s boundaries be known, Page 321.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It is time for all Ethiopians to unite and struggle so we may fight back folks like Mr. Hassan Abdullahi, Melese Zenawi, Isayas Afewerk and other indigenous ethnic warlords, threatening the survival of this glorious nation, Ethiopia.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ato Gebremedhin (formerly Aba Paulos, also commonly knows as Aba Diabilos), who claims to be the patriarch of Ethiopia,  has just erected a massive statue  for himself in the center of Ethiopia&#8217;s capital Addis Ababa. Aba Diabilos builds statue for himself — like Saddam Hussein — while ancient Ethiopian monasteries and churches are currently falling apart due to lack of funds. This is indeed one of the saddest moments in the history of Ethiopian Orthodox Church.</p>
<p>The following is a commentary regarding the statue and other developments in the Church.<br />
