Crooks and Liars

In his infamous interview with Addisu Abebe of VOA, Sebhat Nega, the aging don of the woyane crime family sat through a 30 minute interview telling Addisu all kinds of brazen lies. It must have been surreal for Addisu, one of the VOA 5, that woyane had charged in absentia for treason, genocide etc.. in 2005 to watch the old man blabber one stupendous lie after another with a straight face.

I know, I know, truth is alien to woyanes, but it is still shocking to listen to a septuagenarian lie through his teeth; then again, what do I know telling fantastic lies might be a favorite pastime for senior citizens in Adwa.

In the Ethiopia of yester year, old men like him used to be considered pillars of the community and respected for their wisdom and sought out for their wise counsel. That was then and this is now.

Anyhow, let me review just some of the brazen lies that will make even Washera and Zeru and Adal, the "unholy troika" blush.

Lie # 1.Ethiopians never knew each other before TPLF moved south to Addis Ababa from Dedebit. Hmm, in introducing himself Sebhat told us that he attended Haile Selassie I University in Addis Ababa and he worked as a teacher in various parts of Ethiopia. So,this dirt poor peasant from a dirt poor land, who can only dream of the luxuries Ethiopia has afforded him was educated, clothed and fed by the generous Ethiopian people whom he did not know. Most people would call that the proverbial ungrateful dog biting the hand that fed him.

Lie # 2. The diabolical TPLF guru also tells us that Eritrea seceded from Ethiopia before the Derg fell from power.Yeah, right. Is the old fool suffering from end stage dementiaor is such bold faced lies a cultural trait? This treacherous monster knows that the albatross hanging on every woyane’s fattened neck is the treason they committed by giving away Assab and deliberately making Ethiopia the most populous land locked country in the world. They know that they will be charged with treason under a future democratic government of Ethiopia. So, this demented mercenary’s attempt to scapegoat the Derg for the loss of Ethiopia’s access to the sea is so amateurish, that it is beyond stupid.

Lie #3. EFFORT (The Endowment Fud For the Rehabilitation of Tigrai) the monopolistic woyane enterprise, according to Sebhat is “# 1 in terms of wealth and the number of companies that are providing strategic services throughout Ethiopia.” Mind you that woyane has been rehabilitating Tigrai at the expense of Ethiopia for 18 long years.

He said, while EFFORT legally belongs to Tigrai, it really belongs to the Ethiopian people. How fresh! I hope he is just thanking the kind Ethiopians a thousand times a day whenever he deposits his looted money in China, Lichtenstein or Malaysia. I also hope that the old fool knows, the future democratically elected and legitimate government of Ethiopia will be coming after the Tigrai mafia’s ill-gotten wealth when woyane bites the dust. Don't make any plans to gorge on your loot, pops. But enjoy youself for now.

I will give the old man credit, only, for threading where no other woyane has threaded before. Then again, this might be another one of Meles’ calculated risk to send out this sad specimen to sing the praises of “revolutionary democracy” on VOA but, ended up on tape bloviating fantastic lies that will be used to bring down the woyane crime family.
