BEAUTIFUL ETHIOPIA - HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL VISITORS

It was 2007. Woyyane imported two "Qutch Belus" from London to organise a millennium celebration in Addis Ababa and invited the Diaspora to return home to celebrate the big day with them while the entire Kinijit leadership was in jail accused of treason by the treasonous regime itself. Ethiopians abroad Woyyane/EPRDF's plan to passify us counter campaigned against that plot. Those of us in London decided to hold our own Millennium for those who decided not to join the criminal Woyyanes and their hod-adders.

Realising what we were doing, Woyyane poured millions of pounds to upstage us by organising another Millennium Celebration in London with its bunch of hod-aders.(Interestingly, they did dare to send me an invitation e-mail, by the way). That was a challenge!

It was 09 September 2007. We started with a dinner party inviting 21 Mayors of London Boroughs to bring them on our side. We succeeded. By the words of Bob Maddams, a travel journalist of The Guardian newspaper:

“I have never seen so many London mayors get down and boogie and rattle their chains - but that's an Ethiopian party for you. It was a great success, all the organisers should be very happy that they did Ethiopia proud.”

This week, just before another Ethiopian New Year in exile, we got a treasure from Alebachew Dessalegn's historical vault. Enjoy our beautiful heritage. Day by day, more and more I am proud to be an Ethiopian. Enjoy.

Two days later, when Meles celebrated the so called Ethiopian Millenium organised by imported London “Qutch Belus” by dancing to the Sudanese song with his wife, Ethiopians celebrated Ethiopian Millennium in exile with a boom on Trafalgar Square! The trouble with us is lack of continuity to all the achievements we make.

We cannot thank enough Abonesh Adinew who made all the difference in London. Abonesh did that for free of charge. All we paid was her transportation ticket. Let Abonesh know that Londoners owe her so much and remember her contribution to make that challenge a reality.

Happy upcoming Ethiopian New Year, to all fellow compatriots and this blog readers.
