Emperor Menelik: the greatest slave entrepreneur of Ethiopia

How an Ethiopian slave became a South African teacher

Sandra Rowoldt ShellUniversity of Cape Town

Bisho Jarsa, trained as a domestic servant, went on to become a teacher

When Neville Alexander used to visit his maternal grandmother Bisho Jarsa as a boy, he never suspected the extraordinary story of how she had come from Ethiopia to the South African city of Port Elizabeth.

Anti - Oromo stance of Ethiopian Airlines

“when he stands on a street side and begs, he will refrain from his talk of the rights of the Oromo, and others will see him and also stop talking about Oromo rights"

       Ms. Firehiwot Worqu , Ethiopian Air Lines Management, Executive officer.

Agent of suppression?

After  reading  a letter of complain by  Ethiopian Airlines employee On Gada.com and Oromia Affairs blogs, I was forced to write this article as an urgent call on Ethiopian Ailines international clients  to be aware of the inhuman and unethical practice of this African carrier.  If you are green, organic, and a person to who human suffering and injustice matters,  Ethiopian Air Lines is not your choice

The story is about an ex-employee of Ethiopian Airlines. An Ethiopian and Oromo by ethnicity. Mr. Dirribi writes how Ethiopian Air  Line management, against its own internal rules , procedures and the rights of citizens in that country, denied him severance pays and other benefits after he was released from detention.

From psychological jargon to silence

In several past years, we've seen so many self appointed individuals and groups mightily whistling a heated dialogue where personal attacks and rumors brewed without no form of maturity.

As a result, discussion lost it's meaning and became a stumbling block against progress, converting the time of learning into confusion. Such a political culture created leadership vacuum that depressed the diaspora Oromo political activity, while further fracturing  the Oromo Liberation Front into various shades.   This political environment also produced few midget minded tugs who currently serve the enemy as a hammer and nail against the Oromo people .

Farewell Ode to Tilahun Gessesse

 Redressing  the Disabuse of his Biography by the Abyssinian Corner Apr 27

The purpose of this article is to express my condolence to the families and friends of the beloved artist and to rectify also the disabuse of scribes of the Abyssinian corner and for the sake of setting straight his story. 

My Knowledge of Daandanaa Ayyaano Guddata, (aka Tilahun Gessesse Negussie)

The first time I met Daandanaa Ayyaano Guddata was in Tiqimt 1956 (about 1963). The place was Bella Haile-Sellassie, the Imperial Body Guards (Ye Kibri Zebenya Hospital, at Guchii (Sagon)) Division in Finfinnee/Shagaar. He was in full IBG military uniform standing at the gate.

I saw Daandanaa (Tilahun) again after he allowed us into the hospital standing with Captain Sahile Dagago of Illu Abbabor and chatting in Afaan Oromo. Of course, I heard about him before too that he was a singer from Ammayya. My visual knowledge of Daandanaa/Tilahun at first glance did not give me sufficient knowledge about him except an impression with his physical appearance - a handsome guy with good physical stature.

Towards a Better Knowledge and Understanding of his story...

The grand son of Mekonen guddina claims 5 milleniums of Abyssinian history.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syw-Z6aH5tc

Propagating Abyssinian myth: The grand son of Mekonen Guddina claims 5 millniums of  Abyssinian history, in one of Abysinians lattest move to corrupt history.
     In her introdution speech, Mary Jane Deep, Chief of Africa and Middle Eastern division of the the library of congress says, the library of the congress is blessed and honored by the visit of the Ethiopian Royal Higness, Prince Ermias H/selassie, the grand son of Mekonen Gudeta. Sad, just sad. The so called Royal family of Ethiopia must be prosecuted for crime against humanity than given such a honor. She also mentioned the title of H/selasie when he was crowned in 1930, as king of Kings, Lord of Lords, the conquering lion of Juda..... It is sad that this Abyssinians Depteras are  still corrupting history and confuse  the world.

The Epitome of Ethiopian superstition

Buda Belat

Abebe Haregewoin, MD, Ph. D.

A very pretty teen age girl was brought to the emergency room at Fenote Selam Hospital in the middle of the night in a state of apparent uncontrolled shrieking alternating with strange gesticulations, shivering and writhing. Her hapless father with his eyes filled with terror was holding his daughter’s waist and trying to restrain her restless hands and fists from self inflicted injury.  The poor man looked totally exhausted from his struggle from this sylph of a girl, who seemed to have endless and uncontrollable power of an angry lioness. There was also a rope tied to her waist and gripped by her father’s gnarled peasant fists, apparently to prevent her from running away and do herself grievous harm. It was apparent from the red and bleeding welts on her face and exposed chest that she has been scratching and beating her face and chest uncontrollably.  A couple of scratches on the father’s cheeks and nose revealed that he has also been a victim of her tireless nails and fists. 

The Queen of Carthage Vrs Ethiopian first Lady

The latest " Queen of Carthage", the disposed first lady Leila Trabelsi, has many things in common with her counter part in Addis Ababa, Qedamwit Emebet( First Lady) Azeb Mesfin. Before forced to flee from the nation that she looted for over 20 years, Leila and her extended family had strong hold on businesses, contraction, and foreign investments. The first ladyof Ethiopia, her extended family and the TPLF have in similar ways controlled Ethiopia's wealth for the past 20 years. Leila was a hate figure in Tunisia for grasping corruption, so is Azeb and her mafia family.
