Do Not Invest in, Remove Business from, Collapsing Neo-Nazi ´Ethiopia´

May 24, 2008
The official site of the Neo-Nazi government of ´Ethiopia´ issued a communiquι at the same time atrocious practices were taking place in that province. I republish here the shameful text of the Neo-Nazi Abyssinian authorities (http://www.ena.gov.et/EnglishNews/2008/May/08May08/57255.htm); all mistakes in spelling, syntax and usage are made by the ´Ethiopian´ authorities.
"Enterpreneurs Urged To Invest In Benishangul-Gumuz
Addis Ababa, May 8, 2008 (Addis Ababa) - Chief Administrator of the Benishangul Gumuz Yaregal Aysheshim called on local and foreign entrepreneurs to invest in the state endowed with immense investment potential.
Yeragal told ENA that the state facilitated conducive environment for investors to enable benefit themselves and the community. He said investors would be successful if they engage in agriculture, mines, education and hotel service, among others.
Yaregal said his administration has also facilitated for investors who are intersted to engage in oil seed production as well as mining sector. The participation of local and foreign investors in fight against poverty is central, he said.

Reasons Not to Invest in Neo-Nazi ´Ethiopia´ and more particularly Benishangul
1. No monies for Racist Tyrants
The country is an unprecedented, racist and discriminatory tyranny whereby 18% of the population (the Monophysitic Amhara and Tigray Abyssinians), who were responsible for the subjugation of many different nations, exercised a merciless tyranny of overwhelmingly racist character over the rest 82% (namely, the Amhara and Tigray Muslims, the Christian, Muslim and Waaqeffannaa followers Oromos, the Sidamas, the Ogadenis, the Afars, the Anuak, the Shekachos, the Kaffas, the Kambattas, the Agaws, the Gumuz, the Wolayitas and others).
2. No investment against indigenous nations facing extermination
The province of Benishangul Gumuz starts facing serious problems because of the anticipated fuel-induced famine that spreads around. To prevent the acceptance of indigenous popular demand for food, justice and socio-economic progress from the part of indigenous, regional and local administrators, the racist government of Meles Zenawi removed a few weeks ago all the indigenous origin state employees and administrators, thus isolating the indigenous Berta, Gumuz and Shinasha nations in their own land, which was invaded and annexed before 110 years. More on this: http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/62804 and http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/62669.
Investment in Benishangul Gumuz means contribution to the racist structure and policies of the present administration; it means that you set up a business in a certain province but the indigenous people get no profit at all, as your business partner, who gets all the benefit´s part, is either the ´Ethiopian´ government and the unelected administrators or the alien Amhara and Tigray settlers in Benishangul Gumuz.
It´s therefore high time for you to answer the following question:
Would you invest in Nazi-occupied Greece during WW II, if your partner was an Athens-based German?
3. Invest now in ´Ethiopia´ and lose all your money!
Investment in ´Ethiopia´ means that you will lose all your money, as the regime is collapsing. In the case of the Cemetery of Nations ´Ethiopia´, the regime collapse will mean the dissolution of the country, which will break in at least 10 pieces.
As private enterprise in the backward and undeveloped country is prohibited (if not entrusted to the Monophysitic Amhara and Tigray Abyssinians (which is another corroboration of Abyssinia´s racist character) and the few traitors / collaborators who belong to the aforementioned subjugated nations), it is to be expected that the businessmen, who invested at the times of the tyranny, will be viewed as responsible for Neo-Nazi tyrant Zenawi´s preservation in power, and their businesses will be either nationalized or disfavored.
It would be rather advisable to first get an accurate idea about the ground realities in that problematic and undeveloped country through the following informative article: http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/58008.
Before considering long term problems, one should focus on the already started explosion or rather implosion of the abominable country. Abyssinia (falsely renamed ´Ethiopia´) is about to collapse; it will cross a period of chaotic disorder that will destroy every existing business, which means there is no place for prudent and realistic newcomers.
Basic Parameters of the ´Ethiopian´ Chaos
It is time to describe the basic parameters of the current ´Ethiopian´ Chaos:
1. Ogaden.
At the present moment, almost half of Ogaden´s territory is in the hands of the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF). To tarnish this reality, the racist ´Ethiopian´ government spreads farcical lies of the most idiotic character, namely that 95% of the ONLF fighters´ have been killed. Only extraterrestrials would have been able to do this!
It is worthy mentioning the AFP reports, the first about the Neo-Nazi Abyssinian tyrant Zenawi´s ridiculous claims, and the second about the ONLF refutation.
Report 1. Ethiopia says 95 pc of Ogaden rebels killed, captured
(http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5j2BLdLr3XAqEfjEtnqQnDHHedXdg)
A. A. (AFP) — Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi has claimed that government troops have killed or captured 95 percent of rebels in the separatist Ogaden region.
"Around 95 percent of the total troops the ONLF had last year have either been killed or captured. The figure includes senior officials," Meles told lawmakers at a parliamentary session.
The Ogaden National Liberation Front, formed in 1984, is fighting for the independence of ethnic Somalis in Ethiopia's vast oil-rich Ogaden region, whom they say have been marginalized by Addis Ababa.
Speaking Wednesday, Meles said his forces were now "mopping up die-hard ONLF rebels scattered in various parts of the Ogaden and accused arch-foe Eritrea of supporting up the rebel group.
"We are aware of the fact that the Eritrean government has recently been training forces in areas around Assab (inside Eritrea). We know each member of that group and we are on standby to deter any infiltration or attack".
The authorities in Addis Ababa routinely accuse Asmara of arming and training Ethiopian separatist armed groups -- allegations denied by Asmara.
The Ethiopian army launched a crackdown in Ogaden after ONLF rebels attacked a Chinese oil venture in April 2007 that left 77 people dead.
The discovery of oil has fueled conflict in Ogaden, an impoverished region roughly the size of Britain and home to around four million people.
Perport 2. Ogaden rebels on Friday scoffed at government claims
(http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/080523/world/ethiopia_rebels_ogaden)
Nairobi (AFP) - Ethiopia's Ogaden rebels on Friday scoffed at government claims they were losing their battle and charged that Addis Ababa was attempting to divert world attention from a spiraling famine.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi on Wednesday claimed that 95 percent of rebels in the Ogaden, an oil-rich region populated by ethnic Somalis, had been killed or captured.
But the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) laughed off the claim as "a sign of the level of desperation the current regime has reached in dealing with the realities in the Ogaden".
"ONLF is stronger and more effective than ever and is capable of launching operations at will, when and where it wants," the rebel group said in a statement received by AFP in Nairobi.
The Ethiopian army launched a crackdown in Ogaden after ONLF rebels attacked a Chinese oil venture in April 2007 that left 77 people dead.
Access to the area has been largely denied to humanitarian groups and journalists, sparking international concern over the fate of its estimated four million inhabitants.
"These utterances of Meles are PR exercises intended to divert attention from the fact that millions of Ethiopians are facing famine and hunger," the ONLF said.
According to the United Nations, 3.4 million Ethiopians require food aid in southern and central regions as a result of a devastating drought.

2. Killings of foreigners, particularly citizens of countries supporting Neo-Nazi ´Ethiopia´
This, most unfortunate, development was expected, as the tyrannized nations of Abyssinia cannot possibly accept that Meles Zenawi´s ruthless tyranny finds volunteering supporters among the international community, if respect to Law, Democratic Principles, Humanist Values, and Human Rights is still shared among the UN member states.
It is simply comical for anyone to believe that countries supporting the Neo-Nazi dictator Zenawi and his racist Amhara and Tigray Abyssinian Monophysitic administration will escape the well justified wrath of the long tyrannized, subjugated nations of Abyssinia.
As a matter of fact, the only responsible for the tragic death of an American citizen in a minibus explosion in Finfinne (falsely and criminally called Addis Ababa) - and for many similar events expected to come (developments explictly anticipated already in my earlier 24 November 2006 publication under title ´Avert an East African Islamic Terror Volcano Break down fake ´Ethiopia´!´ / http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/17128) - are those who insist on supporting ´Ethiopia´ against Somalia.
America or any other country in the world does not have anymore the luxury of a free choice either in the case of Horn of Africa or anywhere else; any choice that is not based on Justice, Equity, and Honesty is predestined to doom. Actually, it was completely pathetic for Mr. McCormack to make his hypocritical comments on May 19 as regards the farcical pseudo-elections for local authorities in Abyssinia.
In fact, Mr. McCormack´s shameful reference to an "improvement" in the sociopolitical procedures in Abyssinia triggered in a way the event. It will be ominous for America to imagine that the lethal threat for Meles Zenawi´s Neo-Nazi regime will come from the Oromos and the Ogadenis.
The terrible shaking will come from the incredibly tyrannized and absolutely radicalized Amhara and Tigray Muslims who will soon turn themselves to ´Ethiopian´ suicide bombers in great numbers.
If America wants to avoid an Islamic Terror volcano in Eastern Africa, Jendayi Frazer must be immediately dismissed, if not impeached, Somalia pacified and reunited, Ogaden, Oromia, Afar Land, Sidama Land and all the other occupied lands liberated, and a big effort of reconstruction, rehabilitation and development financed. In brief, what happened in 1990s Yugoslavia must occur in 2000s Abyssinia.
Quite indicative of a change of attitude on the part of the American administration would be to condemn the illegal acts of extradition and refoulement of Ogadenis practiced between the illegal breakaway pseudo-states of Somaliland and Puntland and the Neo-Nazi Abyssinian administration.
Any expression of commitment to bringing to Justice the instigators and the perpetrators of the state sanctioned abductions of Ogadeni citizens would create a most positive idea about America among the Muslim Ogadenis; America would thus create an African Muslim friend in the same way Washington managed it among Albanians and Kosovars in Europe.
Another American contribution to a rapprochement with Ogaden´s tolerant and moderate Muslims would be a US reaction against the caricature of Justice that took place in the recent condemnation of eight innocent people for a grenade attack that killed five people last year in Ogaden. This would help avert the further radicalization of mindsets and attitudes in the occupied Ogaden.
Within the current environment, any foreign investment in Meles Zenawi´s ´Ethiopia´ is sheer madness.
To illustrate the aforementioned points, I re-publish here Mr. McCormack´s improper and mendacious comments (19 May) about the shame of the farcical local elections in Abyssinia, and the report about the deadly event in the ´Ethiopian´ capital that followed two days later. Furthermore, I will add a leading editorial published in the premier portal Ogaden (www.ogaden.com) on the abduction of Ogadeni political leaders in the breakaway pseudo-states Somaliland and Puntland. Finally, I will reproduce the Reuters report on the condemnation of eight innocent Ogadenis in a parody of trial.
Document 1. US Department of State Daily Press Briefing 19 May 2008
(http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/dpb/2008/may/105002.htm)
Mr. McCormack: Okay. Thank you.
Question: Oh, sorry, on Ethiopia. One I asked you this morning on the Ethiopian local election?
Mr. McCormack:: Oh, the local elections, right. Well, we do not typically, and in this case, we do not have observers out for local elections. So it´s very difficult to make a judgment about the claims of irregularities in these local elections. However, there have been enough of these kinds of claims by opposition parties that it certainly does raise concerns about the elections. All of that said, I can´t we can´t, as a government, offer you a final judgment just because we didn´t have people on the ground. What would be particularly troubling is if we started to see a trend of other discrepancies and troubles in future Ethiopian elections where you start to have a trend line in those elections. That would be particularly troubling, but certainly, we have taken note of the claims of the opposition.
Question: But there were problems with the previous election in 2006, I think it was. So do you see this as a trend line generally, then in elections? I mean, you had problems then, there were apparently problems -- now Human Rights Watch and others have said that, you know, there´s sort of a there´s a feeling of a campaign of repression or climate --sorry, climate of repression.
Mr. McCormack: Right. You know, it is the task of these kinds of elections is trying to make them better and better each time. And also, once you´re once elected, to govern in a democratic manner. Certainly, there have been issues in the past in Ethiopia in that regard, but I think that we see, generally speaking, an improvement over time. Now, we´ll see whether or not this data point, with respect to this local election, is an anomaly or whether it is, you know, part of part of a trend that needs to be addressed.
Question: Thank you.
Document 2. US: American killed in Ethiopia blast
(http://www.ayyaantuu.com/Oromiyaa/NewsBlog/tabid/36/EntryID/2261/Default.aspx)
May 21, 2008
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States says an American citizen was killed in a minibus explosion Tuesday in downtown Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack says officials are investigating and working to notify the family. He provided no other details Wednesday.
There were few other details about the blast, but a spokesman for the Ethiopian foreign affairs ministry said he had heard reports of fatalities.
Document 3. State Sanctioned Cross Border Abductions Continue Unabated
(http://www.ogaden.com/abducation.htm)
In 1994, the minority Tigrian People's Liberation Front (TPLF) dishonored its days old, carefully crafted constitution whose article 39 allowed each community, within the Ethiopian community of nations, to hold a referendum. Instead of allowing the ethnic Somalis in Ogaden to exercise their democratic rights as stipulated in the newly adopted Ethiopian constitution, the ruling Tigrian clique in Addis Ababa engaged in a two-pronged, despicable revenge strategy against the people of Ogaden.
The revenge strategy called for the overwhelming use of deadly force against the Ogaden civilians anytime the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) attacked a legitimate Ethiopian military target. It, the Tigrian strategy, also called for the enticement of the Somalis in the Ogaden bordering regions to abduct on behalf of the Tigrian clique and transfer to TPLF Ogaden Somalis living peacefully or who happen to be visiting these regions.
Knowing full well that such abductions violated all the moral codes of the long established Somali tradition of not harming one's guest; TPLF hoped its cross border abductions would at the very least create a permanent animosity between Ogaden Somalis and the people living in the Somali fiefdoms surrounding the Ogaden border. At the very best, TPLF wanted ONLF to retaliate militarily against the Somali fiefdoms hence reducing ONLF military pressure on the TPLF led militias in Ogaden.
ONLF responded deftly to the machinations of the TPLF clique by not militarily retaliating against those in the northwestern Somali fiefdom who abducted throughout the 1990s, and transferred repeatedly Ogaden civilians to the TPLF's security and intelligence service. Instead ONLF closed all the trade routes along the northwestern border to show this authority how helpless the TPLF regime was in reopening this profitable trade route to the Somali fiefdom.
Having failed in opening a military front from the northwestern Somali fiefdom; and having failed with its revenge strategies against the unarmed Ogaden civilians, the TPLF regime appears to have succeeded recently in convincing the authorities in the northeastern Somali region to abduct and transfer Ogaden civilians to the TPLF. In one such recent incident, on April 22nd, a militia belonging to the head of the finance ministry Mr. Maxamed Cali Yuusuf (Gaagaab) abducted two members of the ONLF central committee. These two members were immediately transferred to the Ethiopian intelligence service at the Ogaden border. A similar abduction and transfer of Ogaden civilians also happened at the start of this month.
What these new abductions and illegal transfers of Ogaden civilians to the TPLF secret service reveal is a renewed strategy to enlist the support of other Somali regions bordering Ogaden to this illegal human trade. These cross border state sanctioned abductions are illegal both in the spirit and the letter of the international law.
These renewed cross border abductions come at a time when the TPLF regime is facing military defeat both in the hands of the better trained and armed ONLF military personnel in Ogaden, and against the ever strengthening Somali freedom fighters who rightly oppose the illegal presence of the TPLF led Ethiopian forces in Somalia.
Since the Tigrian and Somali perpetrators of this heinous crime of human abductions across state lines are known; and to put a complete stop to these despicable human trade carried out by the TPLF and its proxy militias in Somalia, the Ogaden Somalis in the Diaspora should do the following:
Bring forth a strong legal case against the state of Ethiopia, the Somali proxies both in the northwestern and northeastern Somalia in the European court of Justice, in the International court of Justice in The Hague, and in local jurisdictions in North America.
Publicize the plight of the abducted Ogaden Somalis in the hands of both TPLF and its Somali proxies.
Enlist the support of the peace loving Somalis, many of whom have already condemned forcefully the despicable actions of the two authorities in the northeastern and northwestern regions, in bringing to a complete stop the abductions and transfers of Ogaden Somalis to the TPLF regime in Addis Ababa.
The Ogaden Online Editorial Board (OEB) hopes that the world community would once and for all put the brakes on the runaway train transporting TPLF's genocidal actions against the Ogaden civilians. OEB hopes that the Ogaden Somalis in the Diaspora would pursue all legal avenues through the international courts to bring to justice the instigators and perpetrators of the state sanctioned abductions of the Ogaden citizenry across state lines.

Document 4. Ethiopia sentences 8 to death for grenade attack
(http://africa.reuters.com/top/news/usnBAN230733.html)
A. A. (Reuters) - An Ethiopian court sentenced eight people to death for a grenade attack that killed five people last year in the Horn of Africa nation's restive Somali region, local media reported on Thursday.
The assault at a packed ceremony in 2007 was blamed on the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF), a separatist movement in the remote eastern area. A stampede after police fired over the crowd killed another six people.
"The Somali state high court sentenced to death the eight people after evidence presented by the prosecution proved that the accused killed and wounded civilians," the state-run Ethiopian News Agency (ENA) quoted the court as saying.
The eight have a right to appeal to higher courts under Ethiopian law. Death sentences must also be approved by the state president.
The ONLF says it is fighting for autonomy of the ethnic-Somali region. Both the government and the rebels accuse each other of human rights abuses.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi told parliament that the rebel group has been largely "neutralised" by a military offensive going on for the past year.
The ONLF denies this, saying it still has operations in the countryside. Addis Ababa says its neighbour Eritrea is training and supplying the ONLF, but Asmara denies that.
