Winning hearts and minds in Ethiopia - 21 Nov 07

[mdna72]

You guys are fighting over what exactly.the world is passing you by and you guys are fighting over nonsense.you think the world cares if you are Ethiopian or Eritrean or Somalian or a black American they see us as niggers wake up people

[186713]

too much foreign dependence is not good either

[BahreNeGash]

@186713

Why would Africans NEED foreign AID, when Africans are selling their own natural resources (Gold, Diamond, Uranium, Coffee, Oil,,etc) & turn around to buy ARMS (Guns, tanks, aircrafts, military uniforms, boots,,, etc) to kill each other & ask for "FOREIGN AID"?

DO YOU SEE THE STUPIDITY OF SELLING YOUR RESOURCES TO BUY GUNS & ASK FOR FOREIGN AID?

[JasonStew202]

Mohammed Abdow is an Al-Shabab sympathiser ! Al Shabab has links with Al Qaeda ! Al Jazeera needs to find a new African correspondent .

[ErimanT]

the whore of africa.

[BahreNeGash]

One may agree or disagree with the US foreign policy, but watching young American boys & girls in US ARMY & NAVY sharing their lives, times & resources to build a school for African children that the African governments NEVER cared to build, is just a very heart warming grace.

Thanks to this young American Boys & Girls in the US Army & Navy, this school will help educate many African Children, whose own government failed them.

God/Allah bless every American soldier who helped build this school.

[TheXoxogg]

at the end of the day, USA is stil a fuckhead!

[TheMambavenom]

Uncle Tom syndrome...Do we have a good cure for it???

Diagnosis... Sons and daughters of Africa selling out. Followed by bouts of confusion, identity crisis through lack of knowledge of self. Victim usually feels an overpowering urge to please everyone else that is not part of his/her race. Prone to very Insidious behaviour, treachery and despotism. Has lost lost his link to the ancestors.

Be aware>> VERY DANGEROUS.

NO KNOWN CURE ONCE INFECTED.

[absina00]

Why do not mind your own business Mohommed...Americans were Ethiopian's friend and they will remain a good friend that is not to to an ETHIOPIAN, but to the 71 million Ethiopians. P.S. many thanks for creatig a better life to those kids.

[sexymalcom1970]

Stay in Ethiopia if they are stupid to house you just away from west Africa especially Nigeria we hate you Fuck USA

[lionofnakfa]

Lesson # 46,

When "modern day" is used, its to signify the territory there-in today as per what it used to be.

PS. With your reasoning, the Ethiopia we know today didnt exist either beacuse the territory it signifies today is Abysinnia and not the Ethiopia of old (that would be more Nubian territory).

[dongola]

lionofnakfa take a deep breath, and stop crying lol

[lionofnakfa]

Lol and you are?

[lionofnakfa]

Hehehehehehe, "underreported", LOL. Is that a new word u just created? From "Name Withheld"? Now you're just getting silly.

[lionofnakfa]

Lesson # 45,

Adulis was the centre of trade for the Axum empire, which makes the centre of the Axumite empire modern day Eritrea. Adding to the migration of over a 1000 years to more fertile plains to the Barka area from the arid highlabds, that tells you the original rulers of that empire are modern day Eritreans. The Beja empire which also took that down at a later age is also located in modern day Eritrea. KKKKKKK, Inferior mind with inferior knowlege you are.

[lionofnakfa]

HAHAHHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA< LOLOLOLOLOLOL, I almost fell from my chair, The last people who should be talkin about starvin in this world are ETHIOPIANS!!!!!!!!!!!

[lionofnakfa]

Copying who? Do you know that the Tigrina culture and Geez originated from TIGRE? Amharic and Tigrinya were spawned from it befor the TIGRE converted to Islam. And TIGRE are exclusively ERITREAN! Which tells you the original is still in ERITREA!

History lesson 44 for you today. I should start charging you lol.

[lionofnakfa]

The Qomals of Africa hehehehe. Begging from Hawzien to AIDS Abeba, what an acheivement!

[lionofnakfa]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH, The inferiority that agames have been harbouring to Eri is probably the main thing that defines you as a people. Besides the famines that is..........LOL

[lionofnakfa]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHA, I luv when agames lose it!!!! Now they're sayin Eri worships agame???? HAHAHAHAHAHA, you should start some stand up. I cant even remember how many agame maids we went through.

Plus, Eritrea has 9 cultures and just as many languages, lOL. Now go dip your gabi in tesmi you filthy people.

[lionofnakfa]

How can someone feel inferior to their maids? HAHAHAHAHA

[lionofnakfa]

Hahahaha, the funny thing is even Ethiopians are laughing at you agames.

[lionofnakfa]

Enjoy the vids I sent you, lol. Might want to lock the doors and invest in some kleenex.

[lionofnakfa]

Deny, deny, deny! Thats not gonna get you agames anywhere. Youre actually worse than the rest of the cadres, they actual dont try to deny that cause thats just a given.

The same Shaebia soldiers were there till 1995makin sure you knew what you were doin. What am I sayin though, theres no reason teachin you the X, Y and Z cause you dont even have an idea on the A,B,C's yet.

[lionofnakfa]

Meles gave who what? WOW! the dellusions of a twisted history. The chiwawa from Adwa hitched a ride all the way to Addis on Eritrean tanks little man, and was handed the keys to Menelik by a Shaebia commando not an agame foot soldier. But alas, you guys can bury yourself with all the hallucinations that your malnutritioned mind can comprehend. All real Ethi's and Eri's and the whole world know it.

We are busy harvesting the new breed of rulers of Ethio-slavia.

[lionofnakfa]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, You spent 123, 000 of your young just to lose it in a court of law. You lost in both cases little man.

Not to mention the 30 years you fought us and spent a million men just to lose Eritrea too. What all time losers you people are.

[lionofnakfa]

It just shows how mentally enslaved you are to Eritrea, lol.

PS. You can wait in the dusty town of Badme (paranoid on when Im coming back for it) while I chill at Dahlak island, lol.

[lionofnakfa]

What Italians?? LOL, Italians left 40 years befor I was even born. Its been over 6 decades since, but you guys seem to talk about them more than any Eritrean I know. Does that timeline make any sense to you?!

And why am I not surprised that youre making Eri vids, you guys are obsessed with us. Do you see me make an Ethio vid? Fuck no! What for?? why would I waste my prcious time making a VIDEO anout you???? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, youre pbsessed with Eri, probably dream bout it at night too.

[lionofnakfa]

Why you parroting what Im sayin now? LOL. You agames get pleasure in walking in the footsteps of an Eritrean dont you? Hahahaha. Anyways, what picture? You think I was actually taking you seriously enough to accept a sugestion from you??!! Hahahahahahahahahaha, what a joke. Barya degmo bilo yaweral, Enante ko Yebarya barya nacho.

[lionofnakfa]

Weyne cyber-jigna in reality Ethio-beggar, you people are beyond repair lol.

[lionofnakfa]

Dagmawi news??? LOL. I wouldnt go swimming in cyber-sewage if I was you. Miskin lemagn.

[lionofnakfa]

LOL. The Ethio-beggar now follows me from thread to thread pickin up my crumbs. What a sad example for Africans you IGNORANT Ethiopians are.

[M1e2d3i4h]

Ethiopian, the HOLY LAND , what makes you holy ?

Enter in my home,destroy my garden and kill my grandparents, oh Jesus, you are damn Holly, bless Haile Zululse?

I will forgive you.

[jayctrl]

There are far too many haters in the world... I think the majority of them are in Eritrea! Come on people what the hell is wrong with you what's up with all the hating? Damn! We are all brothers and sisters... I think the sooner you can accept that the sooner we can move on and get positive! I really don't get it! Everywhere I look online on Ethiopian forums there is all these Eritreans just hating and planting negativity! Why? I really don't get it...Damn...

[mikeethio]

free schools for ethiopia right! i aint got nothing to complain do your shit america

[lionofnakfa]

The only hope for the Horn and maybe even all of Afica is Eritrea!

[nathanielmak]

Funny that you say that when it is America that owns most of the port companies that Ethiopia used to own but was removed when Eritrea split with American backing! so basically Eritrea gave America the right to own all the major companies if they helped with independence...thats called selling your soul

Get the facts!

[lionofnakfa]

What a wounded and lost soul u are, lol. Where did u get your history from? the back of a match box?

When in Eritrea's history has the US come to its aid?! Never! No-one ever has. The US was helping the flea of Judah when we battled u, then the USSR helped you, but we still managed to make you kneel. Pathetic creature.

[nathanielmak]

Why do you speak with so much hatred. Me and you are both human beings on the same small planet. You don't even know me for Gods sake. Its true that USSR helped Ethiopia, but if YOU read history the CIA did help your government but not pubically! Try reading a range of books from both sides otherwise you will always be as narrow minded as you are! Talk to me with some respect as i do you to you or you just seem unintelligent. Thanks

[lionofnakfa]

If u want my respect, then u better earn it, not demand it. That just shows the lack of any sort of maturity on your part.

As for the CIA helping Shaebia and the people of Eritrea in general, you have to be kidding me! Since the decleration of Allen Dulles (head of the CIA) in the 50's, that the viability of a nation state of Eritrea was "unnacceptable", unless it is under the rule of the Flea of Judah, nothing has changed.

[lionofnakfa]

You, "my freind" have to accept the very fact that those "bandits" from Nakfa exposed the hollow "3000" years of empty pride/glory that your so called nation espouses.

[nathanielmak]

We can talk for many hours about the facts surrounding the issue with our countries...but i have one very important question for you. Do you have a hatred for Ethiopian people as a whole or is your anger aimed at the communist govn't that we Ethiopians also hated and overthrew? I am a young Ethiopian and i can say that i hate no man woman or child based purely on their nationality but i judge people as individuals..can you say the same sir?

[lionofnakfa]

I have no hate in my heart for ordinary and innocent civilians. I consider the people of Ethiopia as by brothers just like I do with the Sudanese, Somalians and what not. We will be at peace one day, thats inevitable.

But Eritrea will be the catylist that brings down the facist and genocidal Weyane Govt, making it responsible for freeing the people of the horn from the despotic govts that have subjigated it fot the 3rd time in only a span 50 years.

[nathanielmak]

So we agree on something then lol. It was nice chatting brother take care man.

[jayctrl]

dude you are just full of shit aint you?

[jayctrl]

you know all over youtube i see eri brothers writing how they beat Ethiopia! im confused... i mean i followed the situation very closely at the time i know Ethiopia didnt "kneel" as you put it. where are you getting your facts from? it wasn't 300 years ago my friend the facts speak for them selfs... check the bbc archives.. you have no right talking out of your ass..

[lionofnakfa]

Here's a direct quote from TIME magazine for you, if you're calling TIME "my ass", thats flattering............

[lionofnakfa]

......"By logic, the Nation of Eritrea (pop. 3 million) should not exist. The secessionist province's independence fighters ought never to have defeated Ethiopia in their 30-year-long struggle....

[lionofnakfa]

They were outmanned, outgunned, abandoned or betrayed by every ally; their cause was hopeless. They won by force of character, a unity and determination so steely not all the modern armaments, super power support or economic superiority of Ethiopia could withstand it. The spirit that saw the Eritreans through 10 years in the trenches of their mountain redoubt at Nakfa has built them a Nation from scratch; since independence was finally consummated in 1993."

TIME Magazine 1998

[jayctrl]

1 - there is nothing lion like about the "Nakfa"

2 - you Meles gave you Eri not Ethiopia

3 - you cant call the success of the woyane yours.

4 - you still got served! no one is going to forget the beat down you received. but i have to say that Meles somewhat loves your leader shown him mercy on so many occasions. hope it will be peace now and we can move on.... Nakfa still aint shit!

[lionofnakfa]

LOL, pls. Go try and remake history somewhere else. Ours has been etched into your psyche permenantly. It will take years of therapy to wipe the shame us Eritreans have inflicted upon you and your people. Qomal.

[jayctrl]

Dude you are so deluded... you need help! The funny thing is you actually believe that!

[lionofnakfa]

You can deny history, but its not goin anywhere little man. I suggest you read your above statement while staring directly into a mirror. Its a habit of your people to lie, beg, cheat, steal etc etc. Its almost a tradition of yours to actually kneel befor whitey to fight all your battles for you.

You're a shamless bunch who are an embaressment to the rest of Africa. FYI...I'm talkin about the "nation' Ethiopia here lol, but especially Weyane.

[jayctrl]

Trust me friend i am far from little! As i said before i will SAY IT AGAIN! you can't claim WOYANE's win as your own! Now let's clear this up. Technically speaking if you are referring to the Eritrean independence war you had Ethiopian help to get it FACT!

HAHAHAHAHA... what kneel before a whitey!! dude you are crazzy!!! again delude...!this is ethiopia you talking about!!!! dude i give up with you man!

[lionofnakfa]

Tuck your tail and run, lol. Must be a family tradition.

I remember a while back watching an interview of Mengistu and the reporter was askin him why they've not only been unable to defeat Shaebia but everytime their troops fought, the Ethiopian soldiers got humiliated every single time?

Mengistu replied, "thats because those guys are Ethiopian too." LOL

The moral of this story is, you have always had a tendency to claim something thats not yours to begin with.

[Leeshan82]

I am ashamed that Meles Zenawi is making us colonized so openly.  We have so many highly qualified engineers and unemployed construction workers in Addis. This is so embarassing for Ehtiopians. I don't know what you mean wake up and kick them out. We are unarmed and defenceless. It is easy when you have a gun..give us guns. An Amhara Habr Gedir Alliance is needed urgently. But too late the division is alreayd in place....we will all perish in the streets because of our disunity.

[ismaOVERSIZEDSHADES]

Ethiopians are still dirty poor and the American show they are putting up is only away to get into Somalia and drain its Oil and natural gas resourses. They also want to build bases along the red sea because Somalia has the largest coastline in Africa and is right at the center of the world trade routes. Somalis resist the American presence but stupid Africans welcome it. Wake up and kick the Americans out stupids.

[MustafaPresents]

Anyone who buys into all that is rather naive.

[hellopeacegoodbyewar]

sociologically, the educational development may actually contribute to fostering the factors that lead to a terrorist self concept: education + training + socialization = terrorist self-concept (in many cases)

[hellopeacegoodbyewar]

moreover, •more educated background --> more frustration w/politics

frustration --> disillusionment --> terrorism

obviously it is not always the case & nor do those who are educated or are frustrated w/politics resort to terrorism

[Qeeyroo]

Let me tell you the meaning of terrorism. People frustrated with the state of things and fight for change aren't terrorists. People that use acts of sabotage against civilian targets/infrastructure to get attention are terrorists. However you're right that the americans in the video are involved in training terrorists. They train the Ethiopian army in 'counter insurgency techniques' which include carpet bombing, mass arrests, torture etc.

[hellopeacegoodbyewar]

terrorists methods are "terror" filled. we agree.

[RG415WBFAA]

The U.S. government is spending money on foreigners not to do any good. Who are they kidding? That money is stolen money. Imagine a mob doing the same thing? Would anyone say a mob giving money for education is a good thing? Don't give me any euphemisms Al-Jazeera or any commentators here.

[geoffreyphilip]

That is called helping the unfortunate. The more they give the more they get. No country gives more than America and still its the super power, strange isnt. Well it isnt. thats because they help other poorer nations. Thats why.

[Qeeyroo]

their mission is political and a humanitarian disguise. They allocate a billion dollars over 2 years to prop up the most hated gov't in Africa, then they do little side projects like these for publicity.

[geoffreyphilip]

Dont know what you mean. And what you're saying is wrong, totally. They go only when called upon. They're too precious to be used only on one country, like Africa.

[lionofnakfa]

The only reason the U.S is the richest nation is because it gorged half the resources on this earth (in whatever means neccessary). Then it used those resources to dominate the dynamics of this world, hence the superpower status.

"Divide and conquer" in a different form.

Long live the Proud and independent Nation of Eritrea, the only hope left for the horn.

[geoffreyphilip]

In order to "gorge" half the resources, first it has to be powerful, right. Well not only power but to be a super power, if not other countries will tell USA to mind its own business. So according to your point, you yourself are saying that it was powerful in the beginning BEFORE gorging the resources.

[lionofnakfa]

Who said the resources were actually gorged by the USA? It was done by the ruling entities of old that now control the financial systems we attribute to the US.

For eg. 400 years of slavery (which current empires are built upon)was not neccessarily the work of the US we know now. But the windfalls of that "business" are dominated mainly by the hegemony the US now espouses.

[azhar9211]

USA is a lier. They have no humanity. If they are there its not a good news for Ethopia. They can fool no one but themself.

[hajqbvii]

Education from any faction is always a plus.

Aces to building public schools, but how about starting here at home?....Bush, you just don't get it!

[msgg81]

immoral act master minded by bush

[lalalala1111]

winning hearts and minds, more like bribing the locals

[scorpiooooooh]

Yes, it is a form of bribery, however, We can pay now and be the good guys. Or we can pay later when the opium wealthy Taliban or other extremist groups take over there. Just like war, there is also a cost for peace. Peace is better at any monitary cost, for the alternative is much more costly in dollars and in lives.
