allAfrica.com: Ethiopia: Making Oneself, Country a Laughing Stock (Page 1 of 1): "The drama that is being played out by the pardoned CUD leaders and their Ethiopian supporters in the diaspora has made the party itself and its leaders as well as their country a laughing stock. It is turning out to be a very sad and shameful spectacle on top of weakening and causing a rift within the party. Instead of placing their trust in Ethiopia and Ethiopians, the party's leadership chose to lead various delegations to Europe and the US to pay homage to the likes of Ana Gomez and certain US Congress members who had supported them. They praised them for securing their release from prison; they told them that had they been Ethiopians they would have been elected as the country's leaders; they remonstrated themselves at their feet and said to them had it not been for them, Ethiopia's future would have been bleak."
Israeli school segregated Ethiopian students » Ethiopian Review : "The placement of four Ethiopian girls in a separate class from their peers at a Petah Tikva grade school has sparked accusations of segregation on Tuesday morning following a report in Yediot Aharonot. According to ‘Hamerhav’ principal, Rabbi Yeshiyahu Granvich, complete integration of the girls was impossible. The reason being, said municipal workers, was that the students were not observant enough, nor did their families belong to the national-religious movement that the school was founded upon. Among the differences in the daily school life of the girls, a single teacher was responsible to teach them all of their subjects. Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"
