WOYANE’s DALLAS MEETING ENDED IN FIASCO!
The Messengers of the butcher of Addis,
Melesse Zenawe had attempted to convene a meeting in Dallas
yesterday, June 22nd, at 4:00 pm at the Radisson Hotel
located at Hwy. 75 and Campbell to spread propaganda about
Ethiopia and their regime. They came prepared to deliver
their well known talking points: the politics of Ethiopia is
democratizing and is in good custody; leave the politics for
us --- just come home and spend money as tourists --- send
your remittances and of course invest. Melesse’s stooge
officials: Ato Hilawe Yosef (EPDRF’s campaign manager during
the bloody 2005 election), Ato Demeke Mekonnen (so called
Vice President of the Amhara Regional State who is involved
in orchestrating the regional cover for ceding of Ethiopian
territory to the Sudan) and Ato Mulae Tarekegn from the
Ethiopian Embassy in Washington, D.C and their operatives
amongst us know very well that it is impossible for them to
sell this idea to Ethiopians. Their aim is clear. It is to
go every where the Diaspora is and get a handful of people
in a room for a propaganda consumption. Knowing this, the
opposition activists in Dallas came prepared to change their
talking points.

The meeting ended in being a total fiasco as
the Woyane representatives were forced to abandon their
prepared speech and agenda of political stability and
economic development in Ethiopia and instead were forced by
patriotic Ethiopians to go directly to questions and answers
focusing on the Ethio-Sudan border, the on-going drought and
famine and the grave dissatisfaction of the Ethiopian people
with the endless lies, dishonesty and corruption of the
dictatorial regime of Melesse Zenawi.
The Woyanes were given an earful about the
dreadful situation prevailing in Ethiopia: the absolute lack
of democracy and gross abuse of human rights; the famine
that is afflicting 14 million Ethiopians; the ceding of
sovereign Ethiopian territory to the Sudan; the EPRDF
government’s lies about Badme and the loss of 70,000
Ethiopians in the war between Eritrea and Ethiopia; the
grinding poverty prevalent in Ethiopia despite EPRDF’s false
claims regarding development; and many other such important
facts demonstrating the utter failure of the current regime
in Ethiopia.
The response by the Woyane representatives
was totally inadequate as they were teetering in shock at
the strong opposition and incisive remarks and questions
directed at them. Some of their responses were pitifully and
obviously unconvincing. One of them alleged, for instance,
that no land has been ceded to the Sudan although the
Sudanese government has confirmed to the contrary; and the
very Ethiopian people whose land and property has been ceded
to and occupied by the Sudanese have testified to that fact
repeatedly on VOA. It was particularly tragic to note that
according to the Woyane representatives, the on-going
drought and famine occurring in Ethiopia was an exaggeration
and that it was a figment of imagination of the
international community!
After expressing the bitter frustration of
the Ethiopian people with the corrupt regime and dominating
the forum which was organized by operatives of Woyane for
three hours, most of the participants walked out in protest
leaving the Woyane representatives and their handful puppets
extremely frustrated and confused. It was a good opportunity
to identify their operatives among us conspiring to
penetrate and silence the Diaspora under the guise of
"consensus forum". They need to be fully exposed and be
under the watchful eyes of patriotic Ethiopians. We ask
fellow Ethiopians in the Diaspora, to challenge the TPLF
propagandists where ever they come and most of all identify
their operatives amongst us.
Let other Woyane meetings result in a total
fiasco!
