                                     Bad News: AEUP-Andinet Failed to Unite
     

AEUP and Andinet that disunited after the disastrous political failure in 2005 again botched to reunite after nerve-wracking, overt and covert negotiations that took place in the past many months.   In a press release issued last week, Andinet blamed AEUP for goofing the already accomplished unification. We all agreed to merge and operate as a single party on Sunday and scheduled to announce the agreement officially on the coming Thursday when we got the horrible news of the changing in minds of the AEUP leaders on Monday, the morrow we separated cheering up the well done job we did!” ….” We have nothing more to do except revealing the unfortunate news to the public;” said an Andinet official who talked to us by phone. The gentleman was in the negotiating team and preferred to remain anonymous because the whole thing was shameful and agonizing.

Abu Ghaith, Bin Laden’s Son- in- law convicted

            One of the notorious criminals who helped the disruptive 9/11 to happen has been convicted yesterday at a New York Court. Other than agitating Muslims to stand together against the U.S.A. the defamed felon had had a personal meeting with Osama Bin Laden just a few days before 9/11, according to the report. It is awonder that the U.S. limitless democracy allowed; the lethal fanatic defend himself in a court of justice where he declared “not guilty.” "He was more than just Osama bin Laden's propaganda minister," Bharara said. "Within hours after the devastating 9/11 attacks, Abu Ghaith was using his position in al-Qaida's homicidal hierarchy to persuade others to pledge themselves to al-Qaida in the cause of murdering more Americans," reported Yahoo News. http://news.yahoo.com/bin-laden-son-law-convicted-nyc-terror-trial-145741955.html

<< < Picture curtsy of Ethiopia.org   

  

The dedicated pro-unity activist, Amha Wubetu passed away; Ethiopia.org reported. He was 74. According to a biography profile posted in Ethiopia.org, Ato Amha was born in Gondar, Ethiopia, in 1940. He completed elementary and secondary education there in Gondar, soon to come to Addis Ababa where he graduated as a Telecommunication Technician. He had served the Ethiopian Telecommunication Board for several years before he migrated to New York, U.S.A. In 1971, Ato Amha joined the Queens College where he graduated with a BSc degree. Continuing his education, Ato Amha had obtained two Master of Arts degrees in political Science and International Relations as well as in 

International Law and International Relations from the New York University and the New School of Social Research Institute in New York, respectively.

Utilizing his strenuous education as instruments for struggle, Ato Amha dedicated a large part of his life for the betterment of the lives of the mass of the people at home. His dedication for the betterment of Ethiopian life through good governance democracy and respect of human rights was demonstrated through various organizations he actively participated. His engagement against secessionists and ethnic-centered EPLF-TPLF anti-Ethiopia forces was highly reflected in his activities as a pioneering member of the New York Chapter of the Support Group for All Amhara People’s Organization and later in the Support Group of the “All Ethiopian Unity Party.”  As a member of the executive committee of the Support Group for Kinijit in North America, Ato Amha played an outstanding role that brought him respect among his compatriots. In all his activities, Amha enrolled his beloved wife, Woizero Zenebeworq, who never was away from his side in all assemblies he attended all over the United States.

The blogger of “Dewol,” Zenebe Tamirat, has always been an admirer of the dedicated couples who never missed a single meeting held in North America and deeply grief the loss of Ato Amha.  It is also a misfortune; that Woizero Zenebeworq lost a life-long partner who obliged her both as a husband and a compatriot; however, the loss is not restricted to her alone but also to all of us who struggled with them, as well as to the struggle for democracy in Ethiopia.

On behalf of its blogger, and all of the compatriots who were not able to express their condolences attending his funeral and or the celebration dedicated to him in the Teleconference conducted a few weeks ago, the informative portal “Dewol” expresses its deep sorrow and assure Woizero Zenebeworq that she will never be alone as all of us will carry the motto of her beloved husband to free Ethiopia from ethnic-centered vandalism. May “God rest his soul in peace.

Compatriot Celebrated

Derejashworq Qitaw, a dedicated Political and Social Activist, who peacefully but fervidly fought against the Communist-Military dictatorship in Ethiopia (1974-1991) and against the subsequent occupation of the country by a Tigrean clannish force in 1992, has been celebrated yesterday in a ceremony held at First Lawn Memorial Park and the family residence at Pasadena, California.

Her struggle against the Woyanie Clannish force whose agenda is the dismantling of Ethiopia into pieces and the formation of Bantustan States, has been outlined as distinction to make her a celebrated woman of great spirit whose commitment for truth and democracy can be epitomized for the struggle at home that directs to prevail justice and democracy. The celebration took place first at First Lawn Memorial Park (Hollywood Hills) where a memorial plaque dedicated by her family has been unveiled by her husband Mogus Brook and two children, Sirak and Teferi

A covenant in memory of her struggle for justice and democracy at home was also dedicated to her by compatriots who expressed their love and admiration to the contribution she made to the struggle for justice and democracy. In a brief ceremony that took place in the family residence at Pasadena, Dr. Getachew Haile described Derejash as a compassionate and kind person whose dedication to the society, friends and compatriots were paramount. He explained his experience with her and the family as wrapped with indescribable kindness, full of love and compassion. 

The covenant dedicated by her compatriots in her memory depicts her image at the center of the Tri color Ethiopian flag replacing the Lion and tearing down the Woyanie Scribble (informally referred as Ambasha). “This was the first time I saw a compatriot being celebrated this way,” says, Getenet Alebel, a dedicated supporter of the struggle for a change in Ethiopia. Dr. Getachew Mekasha referred to the image in the covenant as a “replacement of the Lion’s image during the reign of Emperor Haile Selassie. “It is only the lion that should be depicted in the center of the Ethiopian Flag. Derejash is a Lioness who deserves the honor of replacing the lion’s image in the Ethiopian flag,” he said. Major Tellele (rtd. EAF) expressed his admiration to the late compatriot as a protagonist who deserves the honor her compatriots has given her today.

The celebration of Derejashworq Qitaw, later caused a serious discussion on why compatriots are celebrated only on their death and ignored when they are alive? A general agreement has been reached to form a committee that studies the possibility of recognizing those Ethiopians in the Diaspora whose life is dedicated to the society.
