Unfree and Unfair Elections in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe had its presidential elections last week. Elections as in rigged. Robert Mugabe, the senile octogenarian and the only president since Zimbabwe gained independence in 1980,  “won” for the seventh time by 61 percent of the vote. His Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU–PF) clinched a supermajority in parliament that will allow it to change the constitution. This past May, Mugabe signed a new constitution which sets a term limit of two five-year terms for president (not retroactively applicable to Mugabe) and eliminated the post of prime minister. In 2009, following a violent election aftermath, a coalition government of national unity was formed designating opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai as Prime Minister.

The Heroic Ethiopian Journalist Eskinder Nega

August 15, 2013

by Betre Yacob

Ethiopian prominent Journalist and blogger Eskinder Naga is one of those who have been arrested, interrogated, and threatened in Ethiopia, for exercising freedom of expression. He is currently serving his jail sentence in Kality, a notoriously brutal prison in Addis Ababa, where dozens of political prisoners are suffering. Judged a “terrorist” by the regime’s kangaroo court, he was sentenced to 18 years in prison in 2012, along with other critical journalists and bloggers.

Ethiopia is one of the leading repressive nations in the world. Particularly, the repression of freedom of expression is the most severe in this poor East African nation more than any other country. According to Amnesty International, during the past three years only, over 100 prominent journalists and influential political activists were prosecuted on fabricated charges of terrorism, and too many others were also subjected to harassment, intimidation, threat, and other violence.

The Machakil vaccine and the accompanying cruelty......... By Zeleke WA

This paper has been circulating to individuals in various electronic communication media. According to the writer of the paper, the sterilization procedure involved the administration some kind of unidentified tablets to men and the injection of tetanus vaccine to women aged 18 t0 49 years. Both “medicines” were described to be donated by an American NGO.

40 Ethiopian professionals seek asylum in S. Korea -----by Ethiomedia

LONDON (Ethiomedia) - When South Korea came under communist invasion in 1950, Ethiopia was part of a UN multinational force that sided with South Korea and fought against the northern invaders. Almost 65 years later today, an affluent South Korea remembers the camaraderie, and pays tribute with a solemn gesture.

Forty young Ethiopian professionals some of whom are the children and grand children of the Ethiopian soldiers who took part in the 1950-53 war, have asked for a political asylum and their host country has handled their request without a hitch.

Nineteen others have decided to return to Ethiopia, though a few more from their ranks may have second thoughts and remain behind.

The Ethiopians wrapped up their eight-month-old training season before they decided not to return to their country on grounds of "gross human rights violations."

Hailemariam Desalegne in a panic mode

August 10, 2013

by Tedla Asfaw

Hailemariam Desalegne accused “Andenet” and “Semayawi” party for standing with the Ethiopian Muslims on his short interview with “Yelemat” journalist in Addis Ababa. Woyane will most likely ban all peaceful protests that it allowed recently. The question is if those parties will ignore the regime and come out in force like they did in Addis, Wello, Bahir Dar and Arba Mintch for the near future. If they do not then they will be irrelevant.

Woyane can not shut Mesgids and the protest of Ethiopian Muslims will continue. Their demand is for Woyane to get out of their religious affairs using its cadres from Al Habash.
