PRESS RELEASE ON THE FARCE OF AN ELECTION IN ETHIOPIA
EPRP -May 28, 2010

If it was not so tragic we would have gloated with a well deserved "we told you so" and hailed the end of the illusion of a multi democracy governance (however limited) in Ethiopia. The May 23 general election in Ethiopia really brought no surprises--we had said the EPRDF will win hands down (it did), we had said it will rig the election (it committed fraud in broad daylight), we had called on the people to boycott the whole charade (they refused to register and to vote en masse as they did in 2005).

EPRP Writes Protest Letter To China -March 23/2010

ETHIOPIANS STILL EXPECT APOLOGIES FROM ITALY
EPRP PRESS STATEMENT -March 18/2010

The Vatican's history revising action of bestowing sainthood on the Pope who backed Fascist Italia's brutal invasion of Ethiopia and the repeated attempt by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to whitewash the horrible Italian invasion of Ethiopia by the troops of Mussolini makes it imperative for Ethiopians to restate the truth and to demand a formal apology from the Vatican and the Italian government for crimes against humanity committed against the people of Ethiopia.

STOP COVERTING UP THE CRIMES OF THE MELES ZENAWI CABAL
EPRP PRESS STATEMENT - March 8, 2010

The Meles Zenawi regime is presently using food aid donated for 14 million famine victims to further its political aims--insisting that the starving be a member of the front to get any food aid. The situation has been exposed and condemned but there is hardly a pip being heard from the donor countries. The same as the situation back in 1984-5 when the Tigrai People's Liberation Front diverted food aid to the famine victims in Tigrai, sold grain and sugar in the Sudan, diverted more than a hundred million dollars to its secret bank account (Saudi American Bank in Jeddah, Barclays London, Citibank NY, etc...).

MARCH 8: STRUGGLE OF ETHIOPIAN WOMEN CONTINUES
EPRP STATEMENT -March 8/ 2010

Every New Year has brought more disaster to the people of Ethiopia and it is none other than women who have been forced to bear the brunt of the dictatorship. 2010 has not brought any improvement in the sad plight of Ethiopian women whose rights continue to be trampled upon by a chauvinist regime that pays lip service to rights and equality while pursuing an all round repressive politics.

"REGISTER AND VOTE FOR US OR ELSE" -REGIME INTENSIFIES HARASSMENT OF PEOPLE
EPRP Press Statement –February 10/2010

There is actually no doubt that the May 2010 general election will be won hands down by the ruling EPRDF of Meles Zenawi. The electoral commission and the electoral laws are made to serve the interests of the ruling front and if there is any chance of things turning against it the EPRDF would repeat the 2005 action: rig itself back to power after killing close to 200 protesters and jailing more than 50,000 people including more than a 100 opposition leaders.

STATEMENT ON THE CRASH OF EAL FLIGHT ET 409
EPRP – January 29/ 2010

The EPRP extends its heartfelt condolences to the 90 victims of the Ethiopian Airlines crash. The tragic accident has highlighted the plight of Ethiopian young women employees as domestic workers in Lebanon and the racism and brutal treatment they receive there in what is actually a modern slave existence. The Lebanese officials have exhibited the usual racism even around the handling of the accident and their treatment of the relatives and friends of the 23 young Ethiopians who perished in the crash. Ethiopian mourners at the Beirut airport were segregated and separated from the Lebanese mourners and the officials did all in their capacity to show their contempt for Ethiopians, dead or alive.

MELES REGIME'S USE OF FOOD AID FOR POLITICS DENOUNCED
EPRP Press statement – January 20/ 2010

Further evidence has emerged that the cruel regime of Meles Zenawi is using food aid sent to famine victims for political purposes. Previously, credible accusations had been made exposing the fact that the Meles regime diverts food aid from the famine victims to its army, to the market (for sale that benefits it), and for the granary in its Tigrai homeland.

CONDEMN THE BETRAYAL OF THE MELES REGIME ON THE QUESTION OF THE NILE RIVER

THE US AGOA PROGRAM IS HELPING THE RULING PARTY
EPRP Press Statement – November 26/2009

On Nov. 19, the US Agency for International Development- funded AGOA Plus said it brokered a contract worth as much as $30 million annually between Jackson, Mississippi-based Atlas Manufacturing Group and the Adwa (Tigrai) based Almeda Textile. Almeda is part of a group of companies that was founded and is controlled by members of the ruling TPLF party under the EFFORT umbrella. EFFORT controls most of the sectors of the Ethiopian economy and is chaired by TPLF Central Committee member Abadi Zemo and its deputy is none other than Azeb Mesfin, the queen of corruption and the wife of tyrant Meles Zenawi. Almeda, that is to say the dictatorial regime of Meles Zenawi is getting a US$ 30 million contract through a shady deal that enjoyed the manoeuvre and backing of the ruling party and State.

LEASE OF FARM LAND TO FOREIGN COMPANIES HURTS ETHIOPIAN FARMERS
EPRP Press Statement –November 14/ 2009

As if the ceding of Ethiopia's fertile land to the Sudan was not disastrous enough, the Meles Zenawi regime has now leased more than 3 million hectares of land (7.4 million acres) to foreign companies that are to farm this land and carry off the produce back to their countries. It is a 15 Birr (US$1.19) cheap sale per hectare and Arab, Chinese, South Korean and Indian companies have rushed in to take advantage and the so called investors are being given grace periods on payment.

MELES REGIME INTENSIFIES ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION

EPRP -September 09/2009

The EPRP strongly condemns the Meles Zenawi regime that has not only exposed the Ethiopian people to a cholera epidemic but has ordered doctors and health officers to deny the epidemic is cholera lest it loses revenue for foreign tourists.

EPRP Statement - August 16 2009

Following the EPRP press release condemning the ceding of fertile Ethiopian land to foreigners (August 5/2009), the regime of Meles Zenawi has tried to deny its questionable and condemnable policy of ceding more than 2.7 million hectares of fertile Ethiopian land to foreign firms and companies.

END OF TYRANNY IS PANACEA FOR AFRICA'S WOES
Press Statement –August 12 2009

A square peg for a round hole or, as Ethiopians say, a blanket for a starving man. In other words irrelevant and that is precisely what comes to mind when we consider the scope and impact of the visit by secretary of state Hilary Clinton to seven African nations. To begin with one wonders why Secretary Clinton avoided visiting Ethiopia where Meles Zenawi a staunch US ally was recently praised as the man who brought democracy to Ethiopia by none other than Clinton's deputy Johnnie Carson. Read more...

DENOUNCE THE CEDING OF ETHIOPIAN LAND
EPRP Press Statement -August 5 2009

The traitorous regime of Meles Zenawi has ceded Ethiopian land to the Sudan and it is now giving more than 1.6 million hectares of fertile land to foreigners coming from the Middle East and East Asia. The effect of this appropriation of land by foreigners is negative and not to be underestimated. Presently, 10 million Ethiopians need food aid and lack of food has been a recurrent and persistent problem. Dictatorial rule and bankrupt economic policies have ruined Ethiopian agriculture and reduced the peasantry to starvation and benumbing poverty. Read more...

MELES GOES, MELES STAYS -- A NON ISSUE DIVERSION
EPRP Statement -June 24 2009

The deceptive regime of Meles Zenawi is adept at fabricating false slogans and fake priorities which it cleverly passes to foreign news medias and agencies. In this vein, it has recently circulated a non issue like the possible stepping down of Meles Zenawi from his post as prime minister and tried to cover up the main point that the coming 2010 election is going to be rigged and false as has been witnessed before.

ETHIOPIANS STILL WAITING FOR A VATICAN APOLOGY
EPRP- May 11/2009

The Pope of the Catholic church is presently on a visit to the Middle East and the fact that Vatican has apologized for the negative and condemnable role and position of the Catholic Church during the Second World War and the genocide of Jews makes it imperative that we remind the Pope and the Vatican once again that Ethiopians are still waiting for an apology for the support that Pope Pius XI and the Vatican gave to the invasion of Ethiopia by Mussolini’s fascist army.

SHAME ON THOSE WHO INVITE A TYRANT TO THEIR TABLE
EPRP -MARCH 17/2009 (BY WAY OF AN OPEN LETTER TO BRITISH PM GORDON BROWN)

It is sad to learn that once again the tyrant in Ethiopia, the very man who has ordered so many massacres (Arba Gugu, Water, Adebabaye Iyesus, Gambella, Ogaden, etc), has been invited to London’s next meeting of the G20. Prime Minister Gordon who vociferously calls for the arrest and trial of Sudan’s Omar Beshir has apparently no qualms or moral restraint to invite a criminal tyranny like Meles Zenawi to London to take part in an international conference.

 THE STRUGGLE OF ETHIOPIAN WOMEN FOR THEIR RIGHTS CONTINUES
EPRP Statement - March 2009

THE SOMALI DEBACLE OF THE MELES ZENAWI REGIME - EPRP Statement - January 19, 2009

The invading troops of Meles Zenawi have been forced to leave Somalia after two years of wreaking havoc and committing war crimes. The corrupt commander of the troops, the officer who was shaking down Mogadishu business men, that is to say, Gabre Yohannes, did try to put a brave face and to claim that the operation was a success and the mission “accomplished” bringing to mind yet another such claim that turned to be false elsewhere.Read more...
