Ethiopian Diplomat in Washington DC Shoots to kill

By Dewol Reporter

An Ethiopian official diplomat, Solomon Wodi Woini aimed at demonstrators and shot repeatedly to kill indiscriminately. The incident took place outside of the Embassy premises where the demonstrators were chanting slogans peacefully.

The demonstrators persistently continued to shout peaceful slogans demanding freedom without being scared of the shooting. They looked determined to die with the Ethiopian flag in their hands. They were peaceful and non-violent, simply trying to deliver their complaint letter to the Ethiopian Ambassador Girma Biru, who himself latter after the shooting came out to pull Solomon inside the compound of the Embassy. Sources say; the Ambassador is video recorded while trying to hide the shooting guy, Solomon Wodi Woini. No one was hurt by the shooting, it was learned.

The CNN got the news yesterday in the “Situation Room” program but declined to tell the story in detail for an unknown reason. Only recently, President Obama appreciated Ethiopia’s endeavor for economic progress but latter added a kind of “aide-mémoire” to its failure in democratic rules. His comments were wrapped with diplomatic words with care not to disgrace the Ethiopian delegation led by Prime Minister Haile Mariam Desalege and in the meantime crafted to show his sympathy with the opposition.

The president seems to show that he had worries about Ethiopia’s continuous violation of human rights that usually rich its maximum height during election months. The Ethiopian diplomat at the Embassy however did not care to hide facts. He out rightly demonstrated that The TPLF kills fellow citizens wherever it opts necessary; even in the land of the brave. No American law is braver than the Woyanie, Solomon seems to think.

ESAT news that aired the news supported with captioned video film said that Solomon Wodi Woini, the perpetrator of the shooting was later arrested, and  a road that leads to the Embassy temporarily closed. Many Ethiopians in the Diaspora were infuriated with the news and vow to fight the perpetrator of the crime in a court of law. Attempt to kill is a serious offense in the US criminal law; lawyers say.

Angry Ethiopians in Los Angeles Vow to Fight Injustice at Home

By Dewol Reporter

A crowd of Ethiopian demonstrators gathered to oppose the visit of President Teshome Wagaw of Ethiopia here in Los Angeles, angrily vowed to fight the injustice being committed by the Tigray Liberation Front led Government of Ethiopia, saying it is intimidating, imprisoning, and killing political opponents in pretext of terrorism. They say the Ethiopian Government itself is a “State Terrorist.”

The demonstration took place in front of the renowned Intercontinental Hotel, Avenue of the Stars Boulevard, Los Angeles California where the President accommodates during his visit here. Highly disciplined Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers who recognize the good mannered Ethiopians tranquilly observed the crowd but surely ready to interfere in case of confrontation which had happened for a brief period when one of the TPLF thugs snatched a demonstrator’s cellphone and tried to sneak into the hotel. The crowed angrily fall on the thug ready to cut him into pieces but soon intercepted by the LAPD. 

It is recalled that only some weeks ago the Government had hijacked Andargachew Tsige, a vocal activist and Secretary General of the opposition party Ginbot 7.   Ginbot 7 practices an all-inclusive struggle for justice and democracy in Ethiopia that includes arm struggle. The Ethiopian Government Terrorism law consider arm struggle as “Terrorism but has no limit for the act of terrorism.  Ethiopian Officials also interpret Journalism as “Terrorism.” Many Journalists including winner of multiple international awards for humanitarian journalism works, Iskinder Nega has been convicted of terrorism and sentenced to nearly twenty years. He is now languishing in the notoriously nasty jail of Addis Ababa.

         Concerning Andargachew Tsigie, in an interview with a BBC reporter, Haile Mariam Desalegn, Prime Minister (without rights because he has no decision making rights) of Ethiopia had declared his victim was a wanted criminal sentenced to death in absentia. “He will face the consequence” he said affirming that Andargachew will be killed soon regardless of his British citizenship.

The crowd in the demonstration shouted that Haile Mariam was impotent of power and hence a “Condom” for the power infatuated TPLF thugs behind the screen. They also appealed to the International Community not to fund “terrorism” at home. The crowd said the money donated to Ethiopia for the purpose of assisting the poor is being used for suppression, intimidation and killings of the poor itself. Hence, the Ethiopian Government has to be annihilated and condemned according to the shouting crowd that was vigorous and desperately annoyed!

The international community, particularly China and the United States are not interested in human rights in Ethiopia but in the advantage the tyrant government provides their nations. They just turn deaf ear to the appeal of suppressed Ethiopians as long as their tyrant partner in Ethiopia executes their orders. Only a couple of weeks ago Secretary of State John Kerry had visited Ethiopia most likely to order Ethiopia contribute security forces to South Sudan. Immediately after his departure, the Chinese Premier had to replace him in Addis Ababa offering the TPLF thugs hundreds of millions of dollars a large part of which is normally used to suppress human rights in the country.

Triumphant News: Alas! We are Now Better

This week celebratory news has come from Addis Ababa for the delight of supporters of the Opposition Parties in the Diaspora.The nerve-wracking negotiation to merge the two major political parties of Ethiopia, the All Ethiopia Unity Party (AEUP) and the Unity for Justice and Freedom (Andinet) has at last been accomplished.

This was a stride of a mile in the solidarity and forte of the opposition camp of the Ethiopian Political Parties. It is a triumph over separatists and suppressors who happened to rule Ethiopia by the muzzle of the gun for the last two and have decades, solely because the unity accomplished today was missed among the oppositions in the doom days in which Ethiopia was affronted in the eyes of the rest of the world.

The move instigates the hope and aspiration for Unity Forces to lift up Ethiopia to its past celebrated position in the world arena and make it home to all as she is the home of all mankind. It is a replenishment of the “Kinijit of the 2005 that engulfed the revolution with burning fire that flamed from the deep heart of those who struggle for justice and democracy to prevail in Ethiopia. It is the beginning of a new era in which the fatal process through which we passed and the sour experiences that have been practiced would be a lesson to all. From now on there will be no fight in the house of the opposition. The struggle is on the baseball field of the TPLF and with our unified might and the great support of the people of Ethiopia, Woyanie will finally surrender to peace and democracy in our country. Dictatorship has no root to leave forever.

Dewol Congratulate the brave sons and daughters of Ethiopia who continuously struggled to achieve this remarkable goal of unity and takes this opportunity to renew its commitment for the ultimate success of the prevalence of justice and democracy to make Ethiopia a home to all. Dewol also calls our Oromo brethren to join the new era of the struggle for the definitive victory.

Long Live the Unity of the Opposition Parties!

By the Sacrifice of its Brave Children, Ethiopia shall Live Forever, Proud of its Freedom, Unity and its Territorial Integrity!

Well update - Ethiopia

Tullow Oil plc (Tullow) announces that the Shimela-1 well encountered water bearing reservoirs.

Shimela-1 in the South Omo Block, onshore Ethiopia, was drilled to test a prospect in a north-western sub-basin of the vast Chew Bahir basin. The frontier wildcat well encountered lacustrine and volcanic rocks including almost 100 metres of net sandstone reservoir within siltstones and claystones. Trace thermogenic gas shows were recorded at 1,900 metres.

The Exalo 205 rig drilled Shimela-1 to a final depth of 1,940 metres. The rig will now be moved to drill the Gardim-1 wildcat exploration well in a completely separate sub-basin, in the south-eastern corner of the Chew Bahir basin.

Tullow Operates the South Omo Block with 50% equity and is partnered by Africa Oil Corporation (30%) and Marathon Oil Ethiopia Limited B.V. (20%), a wholly owned subsidiary of Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE: MRO).

Angus McCoss, Exploration Director, Tullow Oil plc, commented today:

“Although the Shimela well only found traces of thermogenic gas, it has provided key data to continue to build our understanding of the north-western part of the Chew Bahir basin. The prospectivity at the Gardim-1 well, which is targeting an independent petroleum system in a separate south-eastern sub-basin, is not affected by this result.

Graduating Student Troubled by TPLF Modified Ethiopian Flag.

Graduating Student  Troubled by TPLF Modified Ethiopian Flag.

At its 2014 Commencement, California Lutheran University depicts on its website, http://www.callutheran.edu, an Ethiopian girl with her national flag wrapped around her neck and glittering over her black gown, contradicting the Woyanie made flag she was compelled to carry at the 2013 Commencement Parade.  The young lady was troubled with the blundered Woyanie flag, but was wise and tricky that she decided to show the real Ethiopian flag in contrast to the one that the Woyanie thugs made flag in her hands. Paradoxically, the picture taken on 2013 is depicted again in 2014 on the university's website.

The incident was sudden that she had no idea of graduating students carry their national flags at commencement parades, by culture of the university. She was confused at first. But then she said “I had no choice but to wear my original flag as a scarf. As a kid, she remembered to have  presented Professor Asrat Woldeyes with bouquets of flowers in many occasions of Town hall meetings in Addis Ababa. The young lady says "she is very much fond of the Ethiopian flag."  She is now going forward with her study to attain a doctorate degree in Pharmaceutical Information Technology.

The  young lady hopes to parade in a commencement once again;  this time with a PhD and an original Ethiopian flag.  Make your children, so proud to live as Ethiopians and, so proud to wear the Ethiopian flag again and  again on  commencements and all other parades. VICTORY IS EMINENT!
