ከታሪክ ማህደር ! የህውሃት መንግስት ! TPLF Regime Ethiopia 1991-2018

The Ethiopian dictator Meles Zenawi angrily reacted over the weekend to [video]comments made by Douglas Griffiths, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva.Speaking to reporters in unusual press conference before traveling to the climate summit in Copenhagen, Meles dismissed a U.S. critique of Ethiopia’s restrictions on human rights and press freedom. He particularly emphasized to a U.S. diplomat’s comments about Ethiopia’s ethnic policies.

The United States of America has for the first time accused the Ethiopian government of favouring one ethnicity in appointing government positions. Mr. Douglas M. Griffiths, USA representative in the United Nations Human Rights Council, stated that most senior government positions are overwhelmingly represented by one ethnicity. Other countries have also shares USA’s stand by emphasizing on the danger of ethnic dominance and importance of an equitable power sharing.

As usual, Meles Zenawi denies that hard fact and insulted Mr. Douglas M. Griffiths. “I have not heard of such idiocy. But if it has occurred, it proves the idiocy of the person in Geneva,” he said.

According to VOA, the dominant role of ethnic Tigrayans in the government, especially in the military, has often been a contentious political issue in Ethiopia. Tigrayans make up about six percent of the population.

The hard evidence at Ministry of Defence is top of the iceberg for the argument made by the ambassadors in Geneva. The list of names at the ministry alone makes the fact abundantly clear. It can be said that there is no Ethiopian national army but Tigrean.
