TPLF shockingly admits failures in Ethiopia By Admasu Belay

Since it came to power over 20 years ago, the TPLF regime has always declared its achievements in Ethiopia’s political and economic sectors. Everybody knows the state media ETV and its daily nonstop propaganda of how much better Ethiopia has become over the years. Not only that, TPLF has been telling the international community about how it changed and transformed Ethiopia. So much so, that it had even deceived some Bush and Obama adminstration officials to believe its lies.

Ethiopia Court Requests Detailed Terror Charges Against Bloggers

By William Davison, Bloomberg An Ethiopian court asked prosecutors to amend charges so they specify the acts of terrorism that 10 bloggers and journalists are alleged to have been plotting, a defense lawyer said. The order was made Wednesday at the Federal High Court in the capital, Addis Ababa, where nine out of the 10 accused are standing trial for collaborating with a U.S.-based opposition group, Ginbot 7, which is classified as a terrorist organization by Ethiopia’s government.



 The charges “simply say these suspects organized themselves and designed terrorism without mentioning what kind of terrorism did they plot as defined under Article 3” of a 2009 anti-terrorism law, Ameha Mekonnen, the defense lawyer, said Wednesday in an interview in Addis Ababa. - See more at:http://www.zehabesha.com/ethiopia-court-requests-detailed-terror-charges-against-bloggers/

The day Ethiopian protestors shut a busy street in Brussels

November 8, 2014
by Robele Ababya
Tribute to heroic Ethiopian protestors in Brussels
Ethiopians rally in BrusselsI had the privilege to watch, with tears choking my eyes, the stunning demonstration, in front of the EU Headquarters, by heroic Ethiopians that shut a busy street in Brussels. Ethiopians converging in a display of colorful unity from all over Europe and probably beyond made history by their unique act of patriotism.
The mammoth demonstration was no doubt necessitated by the complete denial of fundamental freedom of expression and gross violations of human rights by the brutal TPLF regime in Ethiopia during its dictatorial rule of the last 23 years and counting. These heinous crimes of the ruling regime are well recorded by respectable international organizations – and even by those powers in the Western industrialized democracies such as the United Kingdom and the United States that nevertheless keep the genocidal regime afloat with generous all round support including military, security, and direct financial assistance at the expense of the taxpayers of their citizens.

Malaysia Airlines Families Faint, Cry, Scream Over News

The family members of the passengers on board Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 screamed, cried and fainted when they were told by airline officials today there was no hope their loved ones would be found alive.

At the Lido Hotel in Beiijing, where some families have been gathering for a painful 17 days awaiting news, one woman was so overcome with grief that she fainted and had to be taken out on a stretcher. Get All the Latest Updates on the Vanished Malaysia Airlines Plane
 
The announcement that officials believe the jetliner plunged into a remote part of the Indian Ocean triggered an explosion of grief and anger. Cries of anguish could be heard coming from a room where relatives had congregated. Women screamed and men cursed and the live news conference from Malaysia was cut off. About 50 police officers arrived and at least one scuffle broke out.
A woman emerged to tell the media, "Tell the world it is not true, it's wrong," she pleaded. Other slapped at the cameras and microphones of the media.
"My children didn’t die, they must have been hidden somewhere," a woman wailed. "How can I trust this government?"

Within minutes of the presser beginning, an ambulance pulled up at the hotel and three stretchers were taken inside. The security and family members are screaming at the press to get out of the way. One woman was hunched over on a stretcher wailing as a medic rubbed her back and asked her to try to calm down.
A Chinese woman told ABC News that she and her husband got emails in English that they could not expect any survivors.

At the Hotel Bangi Putrajaya in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where the doomed flight originated, a one family emerged from a meeting with officials walking hand in hand and crying. Another group could be heard crying loudly from inside the hotel room.
Others were clearly distraught. One crying woman hit the wall and yelled something which could not be understood.Read more about from http://gma.yahoo.com/malaysia-airlines-families-faint-cry-scream-over-news-144120912--abc-news-topstories.html

Malaysian leader: Plane's disappearance deliberate

Malaysian PM Najib addresses reporters as Transport Minister Hussein stands by him, at Kuala Lumpur International Airport
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — The missing Malaysian jetliner was deliberately diverted and continued flying for more than six hours after losing contact with the ground, meaning it could have gone as far northwest as Kazakhstan or into the Indian Ocean's southern reaches, Malaysia's leader said Saturday.
Prime Minister Najib Razak's statement confirmed days of mounting speculation that the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 to Beijing more than a week ago was not accidental. It refocused the investigation into the flight's crew and passengers and underlined the massive task for searchers who already have been scouring vast areas of ocean.

"Clearly the search for MH370 has entered a new phase," Najib said at a televised news conference. Najib stressed that investigators were looking into all possibilities as to why the Boeing 777 deviated so drastically from its original flight path, saying authorities could not confirm whether it was a hijacking. Earlier Saturday, a Malaysian official said the plane had been hijacked, though he added that no motive had been established and no demands had been made known.

"In view of this latest development, the Malaysian authorities have refocused their investigation into the crew and passengers on board," Najib told reporters, reading from a written statement but not taking any questions.
Police on Saturday drove into the residential compound where the missing plane's pilot lives in Kuala Lumpur, according a guard and several local reporters who were barred from entering the complex. Authorities have said they will investigate the pilots as part of their probe, but have released no information about how they are progressing.
Experts have previously said that whoever disabled the plane's communication systems and then flew the jet must have had a high degree of technical knowledge and flying experience. One possibility they have raised was that one of the pilots wanted to commit suicide.
The plane was carrying 239 people when it departed for an overnight flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing at 12:40 a.m. on March 8. Its communications with civilian air controllers were severed at about 1:20 a.m., and the jet went missing — heralding one of the most puzzling mysteries in modern aviation history.

Ethiopia Hijacker 'Threatened To Crash Plane'

A co-pilot who hijacked his own plane in a bid to gain asylum threatened to crash the aircraft, a passenger has claimed.

The Ethiopian man, who has been named as Hailemedehin Abera Tagegn, seized control of the Boeing 767 when the Italian pilot went to the toilet.
Ethiopian Airlines flight ET702, with 202 passengers and crew on board, had taken off from the Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, bound for Rome.

Terror plot to turn Ethiopian Epiphany celebration into an inferno uncovered

January 17, 2014The Horn Times Breaking news
Report compiled by Getahune Bekele-South Africa

Christians and Muslim communities urged to be vigilant against the government’s plot…

Ethiopian Epiphany celebration in Addis Ababa
According to our well-placed sources in the inner circle of the ruling minority junta’s powerful and complex security apparatus, the regime has already assigned several well-trained and craven secret service agents dressed as Muslims to carry out massive bombing campaign during the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church’s Epiphany commemoration feast (Timket) on the 19th  and 20 January 2014.
The distinctly unpopular and even more feared government of Ethiopia, the godfather of terror and wanton destruction, impervious to its own People’s opinion, is now ready to use the TPLF homicide machine to inflict damage that would surpass the 2005 similar attack, which subdued the Ethiopians into modern day slavery for 22 years.
