Two sides to every story

Blair turns his back on friend who failed him - The Times Feb 13

TONY BLAIR came face to face yesterday with one of his handpicked new breed of African leaders — and promptly turned his back. To both men’s evident distaste, Mr Blair found himself seated next to Meles Zenawi, the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, at the final press conference of a weekend summit of “progressive” world leaders...[Mr Blair] told reporters that although the elections had been the freest in Ethiopia’s history, the Government had “overreacted” to the ensuing protests.

“Most free, fair elections” - The Ethiopian Herald Feb 13

British Prime Minister Tony Blair described Ethiopia’s third national elections as most free and fair ever held in the country, BBC reported Monday (February 13). He also acknowledged that Prime Minister Meles Zenawi was elected democratically...[Mr Blair] reiterated that if there was an overreaction on the part of the government, then there should be an independent enquiry into the violence.

I think the world knows about Tony Blair that he won’t tell the truth. Not even for his on Nation. I’m not surprise about what he said. End of the day, they all the same, I’m sure he got a lots advice from the English Empire how he is going to extend his power and eliminate his opponent, by any means, and carry on as normal. They will cover Meles as long as he keeps their interest. The Sad thing is we are still a slave indirectly for the west. Bless Africa.

Tony Blair does not live in Ethiopia, is not an Ethiopian, and is a nechoch unlike Ethiopians so he has no right,might nor experience to deal with our tekur sewoch guddayochachin. So as of Meles he is simply doing what President Bush and Washington d.c is doing to the black americans.by bringing in foreign peoples and letting them decrease the labor pay for cheap labor and cheaper pay while the rich raise the property values so the poor must leave. and letting illegal hispanic workers stay in america..like bringing nigerians to ethiopia to have their way,, so if meles can put a poor country in unstable situations then the poor people can not just point to meles because there will be other people and countries such as america and britain to blame for ethiopias struggle.Furthermore, before he goes out of office, Ethiopia will not be Meles problem anymore, it will be the people he has corrupted to lead this mess he has made and the new regime legena yemethu will have a shit load of death, starvation, prostitution,the new miss ethiopia modern women movement, unbehaved ethhiopian children, the woyenas, and the ethio/american breed of hip hop fuck you nigga generation. so love ethiopia but it is in the hands of the almighty YHWH to settle this mess.The orthodox church will face a new breed of Ethiopians becasue, the days of the powerful Kings of Ethiopia along with the church by their side has died and this meles bastard has exposed what little dignity ethiopia has had in the world,,so dont think that when this is over the effect that Meles regime will not be on the minds of the youth, it will and we all know that Ethiopia will have to Change because of its racial divide that Haille sellase tried to prevent, such as amhara hate oromo or gurage dont like wollo or this kind of ignorance now oromo,wollo,and amhar children are dying together as brother and sister ethiopians.When will All of Africa learn that the nechoch use divide and conquer on Africa anytime they want to and it works,,just like Italy used the poor feelings that eritrea had for ethiopia to get an advantage to fight ethiopia, and they are doing it now for the Rights of Red Sea, oil, military stratergy and since prostitution is legal in most of Ethiopia the women come free, DO you really think in you African Brain that Nechoch will like to see a united Africa? come on my brothers and sister and fathers and mothers, that will mean they will have to give power of the world that the nechoch hold to the tekur sewoch,,not going to happen.Ethiopia...selam! your brother always. dereje
