  1. Revolution in the arab world

  2. Who cares about egypt, lets think how we can topple Meles from his power.

    • @piassa,
      I guess you must be an oxymoron not to understand the domino effect of ordinary peoples’ movement anywhere in the world. We are entering into a new era where ordinary citizens can pose a real threat to dictators with swollen security forces that will melt away in few days by people on the streets. Egyptians are courageous and are sending fire of freedom accross the Arab world and Africa. Next in line would be Zenawi: and to depose him we have to take some lessons from the Egyptian protestors.

  3. Hi,
    we need to start doing this to Ethiopia.
    Dictators must get there punishment.
    Now is the time there is no Bush( devil) who destroyed Ethiopia by helping Melese.
