“OPPOSING EVIL” - Haileselassie Girmay is the skoda of Ethiopian politics
(In response to his “To Award or not to Award” article posted on Deki-Alula on
24/07/02)BY: Dr. G Bekele (25 July 2002)
Not long ago Haileselassie Girmay was a dud brand as rusty, in the eyes of Ethiopians who knows him and analysts, as the smokiest boneshaker from the old East European car factory or shall I say Sumale-Terra in Addis Ababa. Now?

Response to Asfaha's article, "Meles' Hall of Fame
Turns out to be Hall of ShameBy Wossen HM (July 24, 2002): I read Asfha's article on Meles Zenawi receiving a purchased "Peace Prize." Asfha's arguments are solid; we need to try to verify before we jump on fanning a news story. However, in this case, it looks Asfha missed the point.

The goal of the institution is "... to train competent leaders capable of serving the nation, the church in the spirit of Christ and to open new frontiers in the vast areas of teaching and learning grounded in a Christian world view."

Deal with the Devil?By G/Egziabher (July 23, 2002)
The future political configuration in Ethiopia seems to have multiple paths.
a) EPRDF contemplating coalition with undisclosed opposition.
b) EPRDF secretly opening dialogue with TPLF dissidents.
c) Revival of Woyane without Meles. Allemseged’s mission.
d) Some opposition parties rejecting coalition with EPRDF

Melles Zenawi's Peace and Honorary Doctorate "Awards"By Teketel Haile-Mariam (July 22, 2002)
Were the supposed peace and honorary doctoral degree "awards" to Melles Zenawi genuine or pack of deceptions? Many Ethiopians, including myself, felt the award was granted by the World Peace Council, and protested to that organization for honoring a leader whom most Ethiopians despise and feel is leading the country to disaster.

Domestic Opposition Parties: Are we Helping Them or Weakening Them?
Must read ArticleBy: Muluken Tefera (July 22, 2002)
In the province of Gojjam there is an Amharic saying which goes like this: "BEKLO GIZU GIZU ANDEM CHEW LAYAGIZU". Roughly interpreted, "…they tell us to buy a Mule over and over again but they are not willing to give even one unit of salt”. There was a time when a unit of solid salt was serving as a medium of exchange in Ethiopia and this traditional saying must have been concocted over that period of time.

How Myopic is the US Foreign Policy? The Assab Military Base : A Done Deal?By Alem Asfaw (July 19, 2002)
Greetings from Ethiopia.
What very few have predicted has happened. The Americans have completed the liberation of 'Eritrea' in order to control the Red Sea strategic point. Assab is now in their firm grip. So much for the small minds in the likes of Meles who arrogantly and unashamedly stated that Assab will be a 'drinking well for the camels' of Afarland.

EDP Must not be rushed to be crushed
"Get tough and tender on Meles, countdown to the
big victory but don’t rush to crush."By Dr. G. Bekele
Taking politics out of politics leaves a vacuum or removes what the old Marxists would call the "dialectic." Therefore, now is the time to put the politics back into politics. In the process, we have to improve our arguments not raise our voices.

EDP Leaders need to come down to earth if they want to win popular support By Sissay A. (July 13, 2002)
While in Washington DC, I attended the meeting staged by EDP at the Unification Church during the 4th of July weekend. I have been EDP's sympathizer and thought that it had a firm stand against Meles Zenawi. Like most Ethiopians in the Diaspora, I had heard great things about Ato Lidetu. All and all, I was looking forward to attending the public meeting.

Demagouges and their false accusationsNuway: For example a polling vote is posted on the Tigray net (web site) concerning Alemseged G.Amlak's tour in the U.S. The framing and set up of the questionnaire from the out start is not scientific and objective. The polling is open to all nationals including Eritreans, British, Germans, all political parties and national fronts like Oromos, EPRP, AAPO, EDP. The polling is clearly open-to-open hatred and rejection.
TigrayNet staff: Don’t retreat from the truth. We all know that there are two different views especially in the community of Tigrian origin Ethiopians because of Mr. Alemeseged arrival in the USA.Some they support his mission and others opposed. Even here with TigrayNet staffs share those views. We all know that the cause of Deki Alula split is Mr. Alemseged arrival (Source: Hmbasha Commentator, Deki Alula news letter by it self, Tigray Net discussion forum and others).

Tourism and HeritageTigray is among the few in the world, frequently mentioned in civilization and cultural lists of humanity for its universally accepted historic sites. The state has some of the most important historical monuments of the continent. It is very well known for its pre-Christian monuments. The Axum obelisks or Steles (2nd century BC), the pre-Axumite Yeha’s "Temple of The Moon" (5th century BC), bath and palace of the Queen Sheba and the Ark of the Covenant, are among the most prominent.

IS THIS THE RIGHT TIME TO HEAR ALEMSEGED CRY?By DR. G. Bekele
The erstwhile boy of “CAMP-TPLF” and disgraced icon has at last decided he is no longer content with being
unemployed dissident but rather be recognized as a Global Statesman and a Saint
with an important message from Meles for listeners of the dead Shaebian puppet
TPLF. Even after carefully following his recent activities and the so-called
good messages he spread in Tigrigna, I am still not entirely sure what his
message actually is and why and where on earth does he came from. Above all who
were and are his listeners and followers?

The New Geography of HIV/AIDSBy Gezahegne Bekele, PhD
It has been over twenty years since AIDS emerged as a disease. The world has learnt a lot about the disease since then. Most of all, we have learned that the disease is humankinds' biggest plague ever and capable of ruining countries and their social systems, freezing the development aspirations of already slow-growing economies, and escalating the misery of the poor and marginalized segments of society.
The Reporter - Editorial
Do party-affiliated "endowments" really serve the public's
interest?There are several trading and industrial ventures affiliated with the EPRDF. They are spread throughout the country. In terms of size, they rank first or second among business entities in Ethiopia. The only business concern comparable to them is MIDROC, owned by Sheik Mohammad al-Almoudi. They are engaged in various sectors of the economy-be it in banking, industry, transport service, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, trading etc.
