Border Ruling: can Ethiopians Expect Fairness from the UNSC?By: Rev. Tom E. Guerra, Ph,D. (African Christian Center) It is high time the international community listen to the cries of the Ethiopian people for justice against ill-meant colonial treaties. The colonialist motive was to suffocate Ethiopia by depriving it of access to its sea ports. Land-locked Ethiopia is a poor and weak nation that would depend on the mercy and mood of its hostile neighbors. For the UNSC to implement a ruling that would deprive Ethiopia of its sea access is highly immoral. As in the past, this time also Ethiopia and Ethiopians are awaiting justice from the representatives of the international community. |

Ethiopian Archbishop appeals to Border Commission Aba Melkesedek 
Arch Bishop of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and Secretary General of the Synod in Exile
March 8, 2002 As a religious and knowledgeable man who knows the history and culture of Ethiopia, I caution the international community, especially the most Honorable Commission Members, not to repeat the shameful undertakings of the League of Nations that gave Ethiopia on golden plate to Benito Mussolini. If the Arbitration Commission accepts colonial treaties and false maps and comes to the conclusions of imposing unfair solutions on Ethiopia, these will be translated as the source of conflict and war, not only between Ethiopia and Eritrea, but also for the Horn of Africa. |

God and History will remember your judgment againEDP press Release (February 8, 2002) EDP is not calling for war. If our leaders are hearing a call for war, it is the figment of their imagination.

Laws and Proclamations - EPRDFS' StyleBy: Yonas (March 19, 2002)
After wasting ten years in power the EPRDF government is now telling us that it is in a "Sorry State!" and wants to start again! Positive expectation from this government is just a west of time which at best can only contribute in deflecting our attention from the main issues of lack of accountability, democracy and the Rule of Law in the country.
PALEOANTHROPOLOGY: Ethiopian Fossil Discovery Prunes Human Family Tree
Scholars of human evolution have long debated just how many branches
and twigs make up the human family tree. Some place the known human
fossils into numerous genera and species, creating a bushy tree.
Others tend to see more similarities between fossils and opt for
trees with fewer offshoots. Now newly described fossils from Ethiopia
indicate that for at least one part of the human pedigree, less is
more.

March 25th: Day of ReckoningBy Prof. Tecola W. Hagos (March 18, 2002)
On 25 March 2002 we too are going to draw a line not in the sand but on the concrete and asphalt of New York City. History is our witness. We are giving the world community a clear notice that we are not responsible for all the conflict that most certainly would follow if the United Nation persists in its misguided and illegal course of action to dismember and choke us from our historic coastal territories, and deny the rights of our brothers and sisters to their citizenship and ancestral homes.

The economic impact of being landlockedBy Habte G. Woldu, Ph.D (March 16, 2002)
The whole fake idea of helping Djibouti and Sudan to modernize their ports so that they could "accommodate Ethiopian import and export needs" is a mockery to the Ethiopian people, especially to those who have been involved in import and export business. The only rational explanation for such suggestion is to believe that such concept is thrown up in the air to silence the protest of Ethiopians until Eritrea legalizes its Meles-promoted boundaries.
