  • NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The guy seems brilliant. Give him a break.

  • who asked you about Eritrea????? why do you use Eritrea as escape goat, why don't you just worry about your own gadmn country and answer the question. who asked your opinion on Eritrea. you are not even worth to talk about it.

    shame on you!!!!!!!

  • shigamuturu

    GOOD point agame TPLF agent Samuel can't answer about ETHIOPIA he jumps straight to Eritrea.. kkkkkkkk what an ass hole.

  • . (Continued from. question to Mr. ambassador) To make a very long story short I never made the trip. Because of this incident I decided to become a U.S. citizen. How unfortunate...I love my country very much. I don't care what they say... I am Ethiopian and will always be one. There is more to this story but for fear of retaliation I will not divulge any more information.

  • . (Continued from question to Mr. ambassador) Months ahead of time I requested for my passport to be renewed so I can travel to

    Europe for business trip. First I was told they never got my passport and after I proved to them through (U.S. Mail Services) that someone at the embassy signed for it they told me that I am not an Ethiopian.

  • I have a question to the ambassador... why are the staffs at the embassy so arrogant and unprofessional? From the way they talk to their fellow citizens to how long it takes them to answer a simple question. The Phone rings forever and when they pick it up they put you on hold and are gone for eternity. Whatever you do don't remind them that it is a long distance call.... they will make you wait even longer. (Continues.... question to Mr. ambassador)

  • BWAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAH

    She asked him questions about ETHIOPIA and this guy gives out answers about Eritrea. hahahahaha This guy is very paranoid as if an Eritrean Lion is breathing on his neck during this interview hahahahahahahaha

    What a loser ! The questions were about Ethiopia NOT NOT Eritrea. How childish !! Typical woyane, the beggar maids of the west.

  • Sick sheep eater arteras:

    In case if you have forgotten, your cursed land is in the verge of being considered a "terrorist state." Your consistent behavior makes people believe that you are inept of being free. You do not have the experience of self rule as you have been enslaved and colonized by multiple nations. As the millennium has colorfully passed, the fake freedom you have been given should be retaken. There is no one to rescue this time.

    Zeraffffffffff

  • Semiraaa5, Are you saying Ethiopia should be considered as a "terrorist state" due to the fact it has invaded a sovereign Somalia, and its soldiers are raping the Somali women and killing children and old people? I agree with you 100%. The genocidal minority woyane regime is a terrorist and it must be eradicated! You're such a wise lady.

  • BastardOO:

    That was not what I said. Leme repeat, the abominable Arteras do not know how to live free because they do not have never been free people. All I said was there is a curse in the gene of Artera and that is the reason why they kill, die and live scaterred all over the world. Need more? well, your sisteris being whored by the UN soldiers in your cursed land. Stop worrring about Somalia and worry about your leaky ass.

  • Semiraaa, I understand your anger and frustrations. After all, your genocidal minority leader Meles, who you are defending shamelessly, is the one who threw out your mother to the jungle for 4 weeks so your white masters attending the Millenium don't have to see her ugly face. Meles said your mother is a sore eye to his white masters. I feel more sorry for your mama than you.

  • Katherine,

    You were excellent! You have seen the guy mumbling, he does not know what to he is talking about. He is a sold out Ethiopian, who is trading on majority's blood spilling. He is Amhara ethnic, but working for Tigre ethnic. Ethiopia is administered by Tigre ethnic oppressing all other major ethnics, so draw your own conclussion as to why he has a job.

  • Two Words to explain this Maid Man.

    INTELLECTUAL PROSTITUTE !!

  • yessss indeed failed stat:)

  • Have you ever noticed to why all Ethiopian officials have lost thier hair while all Eritrean officials still fashion full hair ?

    According to Medical Experts, excessive hair loss and receding hair (baldness) is caused by emotional and physical stress. Nervous habits such as continual lies and deciets also contribute to baldness.

    Need I say more?

  • OR...it's genetic. As for your "need I say more?" comment, yes!

  • @Kachavite haha that is pretty funny

  • I wonder why they appoint him as their ambassador.. or should I say.. am barass ador? Wey 'te gudu!!! I am thiking of sending him a FAKE KUNOA to cover his BALD BRAIN. miskinaye:( ethiopians miskinaye:( hu hu hu hu hu hu

    His replies really dont make sense and neither are relevant!

  • This interview has proven to me to why they call a 4th grade Mekele Highschool graduate a " LIQ ". hahahahahahaha

    Poor guy, that was more of an interogation than an interview for someone of his "caliber" hahahaha

    I just wish they give him a written interview next time around. A multiple choice quesions hahahahahahahahaha

    Or a simple " True or False " questions. hahahahahaaha moyte !!!

  • What a superb reply.The interviewer is not a match for the interviewee.The ambassdor samuel replied eloquently all the unfounded accusations against Ethiopian government. I am really proud of our Ambassador.God bless U!!!Ethiopia is no more assailable in deplomatic arena.We are feeling jublient for having such a politically correct and eloquent diplomat.God Bless, Samul!

  • Zenebozenbo...

    What an outstanding observation....keep up the good job bro. Inform the uninformed and those who are blindly odium every intellectual out there. May God bless you for your insight and the brilliant remarks you made.

  • zenbozenbo,

    hahahahahahahahahaahaha

    Please tell me that was a sarcastic comment. LMAO

    If not, which interview were you watching? I'm sure not the one on this video. LMAOOOOOOO

  • I would be surprised if he was not a part of the Meles scholars.A lot have been said about them......

    And 'feseha01' Are you sure about your English???????Or your scholars told you that you are one of their language elite hahaha!!!!!!!!!!Well I know some of your scholars communication ability and shame on you!!!!And the thing I would like to remind you is even if you are good in any language(though you are not!!!!)its just a tool for communication,its not a measure of intelectuality.

  • Azemera...

    I didn't get your point. "It's just a tool for communication" parenthetically, if language is not the driving force of every successes full society, then there is no need to develop a type of curriculum to educate, inform and execute any form of gov't or social agenda. Let me give you a little advice... read more before you come to the forum or open your big mouth and argue about something you don't have any idea. Please when I say this don't take it personal.

  • Mr Fesehao1 Anbody can tell who u are for god sake!!!!!!!!U don't take it thing personal!!!!!!!!!cos you look like you have to give a response for every comment posted on the site.That is a mistake lots like you did!!!!!Think you know everything like ur PM.

  • Dear Ethiopians, It is people like this man who are ruling your beautiful nation. May God save you ! Not only did he NOT understand the questions presented to him on this interview BUT he also gave incoherent and ridiculous answers that would make any Ethiopian intellectual quiver in shame. If this knucklehead is considered a Doctor so is Dr Dre ( The Rap Artist ) Yeah I said it ! You can quote me on that !

  • Kachavite..

    I am glad that native English speakers do not reading your trash other wise they would have sent you either to the booth camp or back to where you came from just to punish you for messing up their precious treasure like it will never been repaired. Kachavite, what a name and that is what you are. By the way you are entitled for your opinions.

  • feseha, FYI I'm a native English speaker. It would have served you well had you finished ESL classes before jumping on the driver side of a Taxi.

    I wrote my comments so a 3rd grader like you could easily read and understand it.

    Therefore, blaming me for your limited language skills is not a substitute for thinking.

    You are also entitled for your opinions if you can make any.

  • Kachavite....

    I am sure you are still in the third grade. That is the only reason I can come up with. By the way for how many years have you been in the third grade? Is this your last attempt before you drop out or are you still keep trying go to the next class level......let me give you my best advice if you are ready to take it...... don't give up bro, try harder and you may going to make it this time around.

  • feseha, Yes I'm a third year political science major here at Harvard University.

    I have no desire to drop out of school as you have inspired me to know there is a better way of life other than driving a Taxi Cab. I understand you envy me but that shouldn't stop you from going back and graduate from ESL ( English as a Second Language ). Good luck.

  • Kachavite....

    According to the New England journal of medicine, people that happen to be short tempered and engulfed by anger have a tendency to be depressed, anger toward themselves and others, thoughts of hurting themselves and others, even suicide. Further more frightened all the time and even find themselves panicking for no real reasons. I will advise you to seek professional counsel before it gets out of hand.

  • feseha, I used to wonder why most mental patients mimic their Doctors when talking to people. Now that I've started chatting with you, I think i've found the answer that had eluded me for quiet some time.

    It is very impressive how Psychiatrists are now using YouTube to help their Mental patients for its therapautic effects. Here, you can pretend to be a doctor and no one gives a damn. Right fish? hey feseha pay attention when I'm talking to you. Put down the stethoscope now. NOW!!!!!!

  • Kachavite..

    I am not trying to mock you for any apparent reason. It's just a one to one dialog and if I hurt your feeling in the process... please forgive me for that. Don't get pissed of because I said something to you.......I was just testing your boundaries, patient and cognitive ability that how far you can go with out losing your battle ground, that all. By the way it's my pleasure to discuses with you and you are a mighty warrior and I will give you a HI5 for that.

  • feseha, is Ethiopia a failed state ?

    If it is indeed a failed state, do you blame yourself for the failure or you blame it on Eritrea ?

    If it is NOT a failed state, why are you a failure?

  • Have you ever noticed to why all Ethiopian officials have lost thier hair while all Eritrean officials still fashion full hair ?

  • good notice, i never really paid attention , but i get your point.Hi5 on that!

  • Oh my goodness...is he really an Ambassador? he was asked specfic question about his country, like his boss Legesse, he ended up comparing his country with Eritrea...this moron sounds as if trying to let the jornalist know about the situation in Eritrea...we all know Woyannies are born with inferiority complex and the interview demostrate exactly that...i fell sorry for the Ethiopian people foe real...they need someone better than this thug.

  • has this guy ever been to a school?? does he know how to answer questions at all? how does ignorant pigs like him get to be ambassdors? honestly he failed big time to represent his crippled country.the journalist is asking him a very clear question reagarding ethiopia. why compare eritrea & ethiopia when asked questions about human rights rec. in ethiopia?? anywayzs, to get the facts out, Ethiopia will never achieve what eritrea has achieved in 16 yrs.

  • Yours is a crippled and soon to die country, not ours. Admit it, Eritrea (postage stamp)is heading to abyss where it would take her 200 years to get out, if it stays that long. You are tiny state making loud noise allover. Wait and see, you will be silenced by your southern giant for once and for all, very soon. Eritrea is a state estabilished based on lies and false self-worth. This will change soon.

  • fucking ass hole why don't u fucking comment on the fucking clip instead of bullshiting. hate eritrea and eritrean all you want, but you will not make us disappear in the thin air. ERITREA IS HERE TO STAY MUTHERFUCKER. all your regimes did everything possible to crush the eritrean voice, but at the end of the day , we won and we will continue to win. and here you can bluff and say all sorts of shit , but deep down you damn well know your country is fucked big time by meles.

  • your big, Aids infested and famous for famine countrty is no where to silence eritrea. somlian in magadishu and those 12 armed rebels are doing such a great job in destablizing ethio.10 yrs from ethio will disappear from da map, instead we'll see Tigray , oromia and ogaden countries.for now you can dream of dipping ur toes in the redsea, but if you evermake a move you'll be buried right next to ur father and grandfather whom died in eritrea dreaming of redsea.

  • by the way, did u hear meles's & sebhat nega's last interview, ohhhh yea "they will willingly die defending eritrea's independence." big blow to ur lil amahara face that is.eritreans are capable of defending our nation, but what their interview shows is that tigrigna speakers will avoid their difference and once more time unite to crush a common enemy ( amhara elite).

  • a lil advice for u, don't repeat mistakes over and over again instead try to learn from them. fucking haileselase and mengistu made the same mistake and meles repeated them. but now it seems he is regreting he ever did so.peace not dominance is the answer to horn african problem.try to sympathize for past mistakes, compromise for the sake of younger generation and respect for sake of peace, unity and common development, other wise eri,somlia, sudan will emliminate u from the face of earth.

  • dahlakislands..

    We all know who you are and please keep your advice for your leaders they may need it in the future. I personally realized who you are, and all your points are far-fetched and based on hand-waving argument. So pls keep these sabotage comments to yourself.

  • con't... too bad ethiopia always gets the most unintellectual, self centred and narrow minded leaders. no wonder with an almost 2000years history under its belt, the country is still behind everyone else on the planet.another funny thing i just noticed!u don't want to take my advice cuz u think it's "shaebia" talking to u...heheheh.indeed shaebia are the nightmare of every ethiopian leader.and no i ain't amiche,to be honest i don't even like amiche.

  • Dahlakislands..

    By the way what did you smoke before you listen to the interview?......if it's the usual crack pipe, then I am not going to blame you, or is it the blistering Eritrea heat and mandatory hardship of " Sawaa" makes you loss you mind. Parenthetically, if you are really curious to know about the ambassadors credential please visit the Cornel University website..... and you will know who he is then we can talk more.

  • heheheh feseha you sound like you didn't eat for a week man.i'm very well aware that hunger weakens your body and mental capability, but i wasn't so sure that it makes you deaf as well. listen to the interview old man, may be turn up the fucking volume, or clean up ur ears then you might be able to hear how uneducated this "ambassador" sounds.you telling me he graduated from some american collage and yet he can't answer questions properly. i bet you he passed all his courses with D-.

  • dahlakisland...

    Why you are so outraged by the Ambassador response or his intellectual ability? Let us worried about that.... nevertheless he is not representing you or your fellow countryman, he is our Ambassador after all. By the way, are you " Ameche"? Is that why you are so pissed off? If that is the case I feel you bro.

  • hehehe ... you indeed suffer from inferiority complex. and no i am not outraged at his interveiw or him, i just can't help it but feel sorry for some of the unaware innocent ethiopian ppl who have no clue of who'se leading them.

  • Each and every one of you who are happen to be highly critical for the Ambassador response...... in my opinion you must be out of your freken mind if you expect the guy to say yes we are running the failing state. I believe, many of you may not even have a high school diploma...and here you are ready to blaspheme someone who earned his higher education from one of the most prominent school in the US. By the way being a good public speaker is a matter of practice not an intellectual ability.

  • "By the way being a good public speaker is a matter of practice not an intellectual ability."

    I thought it was an interview. Am I wrong? Answering questions requires comprehension, quick thinking, and to be able to express it verbally, eloquently. Based on the interview I watched, it is my judgment that the guy has none. You said he has a degree from a prestigious college. Ok then, was his performance a reflection of his earned degree?

  • wojeb..

    His performance is not a reflection of his degree at all. Name one Ethiopian intellectual that you know who he/she is so good for their English proficiency and have the ability to respond in the matter of seconds to convey their messages for the kind of questions that he was asked? By the way, I have listened many interviews in the past; from both sides of the aisle and I came up into a conclusion that we don't have that many orators at all.

  • I don't care what college he graduated he is not a good speaker of English and failed to convey any substance. In other words, he faild to represent Ethiopia. I wonder how these people manage to get degrees of all sorts. This is shameful. I have no doubt that AAU grads can do better than this guy. Meles needs to rid of this dida.

  • Wojeb..

    Let me ask you one question if you are kind enough to respond, and I believe you will....... If you have the fortitude to say you don't care about what college he graduated from...please please please tell me which college or university you graduated from and I will tell you who you are. Please don't take it personal it's just a litmus test.

  • There is only one reason as to why you are asking me this. Your mindset is that those who graduate from high-status schools are smarter than those who do from public schools. Have you heard this before? Having a degree can help you get in the door; only performance can keep you in there. This is information age. Communication is essential to achieve anything. The guy you are advocating needs to learn how to do that.

  • wojeb...

    I have no answer for you because you already answer the question yourself. Yes of course performance is what keeps him on the top of the list and makes him assigned to run one of the most powerful office outside of the land. And he will excel with passion and confidence...you keep talking instead of doing some thing to change the course.

  • Wojeb..

    Let me ask you one question if you are kind enough to respond, and I believe you will....... If you have the fortitude to say you don't care about what college he graduated from...please please please tell me which college or university you graduated from and I will tell you who you are. Please don't take it personal it's just a litmus test.

  • Melata,, get life

  • "Tiliku dabo lit hone." This is my first opportunity to listen to his public speech/interview whatever. Irrespective of his loyality to this butcher government, I had some kind of respect thinking that he was a real intellectual. He is trash. I see no substance from the interview. "Fiyel wedih kizimizim wedia."

  • samuel is a princeton graduate, i admire him.anyway we are in a long war against poverty, keep an eye on the prize, not on the judgements of white people about your work. God bless Ethiopia.

  • right, it was failed 300,000 years ago. you all know it!

  • I was told he is a good orator but I find him a good zebzaba duda. he just talks nonsense and too irrelevant stuffs.

    you can imagine, the clip is not continuous interview. the poster has edited it. I think he presented the "best" part of the interview. I wish I saw the full interview. Definately he made a lot of mess. from now on, I don't blame Bereket Simon for being dumb, as there are many even worse!

  • Superb interview.

  • dumb

  • I rated this video awesome - as a joke! What is the ambassador of Ethiopia talking about? Why is he not answering the questions? why is there so much gap in wealth? why is he talking about Eritrea? Why talk about rodney King? After all Rodney had his day incourt and compensated!!

  • You should also mention that EPRDF stole the last election and jailled all the winners. Liar
