Almost a decade and half ago a brutal dictator of Ethiopia Mengistu Hailemariam overthrown by TPLF dominated EPRDF. Since then Eritreans’ chose to be independence from Ethiopia and election of sorts took place: the May, 2005 election is one example. Unfortunately for Ethiopia, the opposition group led by chauvinist group CUD rejected the election despite its’ sweep of Addis Ababa the capital city of Ethiopia and the return of bloodbath that unleashed on protesters in which tens of people perished. Although the killing of demonstrators the ugly face of narrow ethnic group government of Meles Zenawi, the opposition group led by warmongers and former officials of derg government responsible for acts of violence in which Ethiopia need less. I applause the government of Meles for what he has done so far, but 14 years as head of state in any country should be looked at a bad sign least one can think s(he) is invincible and none can be done without.
FT.com / UK - Al-Jazeera journalists become faces of the frontline : "Ayman Mohyeldin was in a coffee shop joking with colleagues in Gaza City when the first Israeli bomb struck, smashing into a police station just a short distance from where they were sitting. The tremors from the explosion shook the café, but it took a few minutes for the reality to sink in - Gaza was under attack. Since that moment 18 days ago, Mr Mohyeldin and his colleagues at al-Jazeera English, the satellite channel, have worked day and night, providing 24-hour coverage of the Israeli offensive in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis it has triggered. Donning a helmet and a flak jacket, Mr Mohyeldin has become one of the faces of the war, delivering calm and balanced analysis of the chaos and destruction going on around him in a soft American accent."
