“The leader of Ethiopia’s Unity for Democracy and Justice Party”

“A party popular among Tigrayans” to be replaced by “a party popular among Oromos and Amharas.” What is going to change? Pretty much nothing. Recycling chauvinism after chauvinism in the name of “ethiopia.”

The Ethiopian government especially prime minister Meles Zenawi would do anything to stay in power. And it is amazing that the only person who is willing to stand up for freedom is Birtukan. She is like a modern time Ghandi, resolving issues with peace.

Birtukan’s #1 fan!

She is a model leader, not only for Ethiopian politics but also for the rest of Africa. Therefore, every concerned citizen, rights associations, and governments of different states should strive for her freedom that we/ETHIOPIANS/ are hungry for.
