Ethiopian opposition rejects poll result

Editor’s comment: In the 2005 elections the opposition won all 23 seats for the capital Addis Abeba and they won 174 seats in the overall election, they rejected the results. In this election they won none and they rejected the results. What does the opposition want? Well they want power by any means necessary. What these collection of Hodgepodge so called opposition forgetting is, Ababa Isayas Afeworki, Emama Ana Gomez, Gonbet 7, Al Shebab, Human rights watch, ONLF, OLF, Banana Revolution, EPPF, changing their name everyday like their shirt or teenage stone throwers are not going to put them in power. Their line of thinking is old, their ideas are outdated, they have no clear vision and they are spoiling the chance for a real genuine opposition that would bring a real alternative to the ruling party. The Ethiopian people are tired of them so, they need to get the hell out of the way.

Ethiopia rejects Egypt Nile claims
Editor’s comment: It is about time the Egyptians realize that the time of empty threats and bravado is over. It is time to share the Nile waters in a just and equitable fashion. If it comes to it the Ethiopian people will stand for their god given right to use their natural resources. If they are ready to use force to achieve their goal, Ethiopia would not lose more than it is losing for hunger every year. The Egyptians should remember well what happen to their army on November 16 1875 in Gundet by Emperor Yohannes IV. Imagine sending six fighter planes loaded with what they can on one way mission to the Aswan dam. We hope it does not come to this.

Editors comment: Translation, the Birhanu Negas, the Ginbot-7s, the banana revolutionists and their backers better understand not to try the 2005 drama, but if they did try the reaction of the security forces will be swift and decisive.
