Two Sisters with Kidney Disease in need of urgent Financial help
The two young sisters named Muluberhan Melaku and Frehiwot Melaku are residents of Adwa town. Doctors from Bethel General Hospital in Addis Ababa have said they need kidney replacements. Their medical treatments, including kidney replacements, have to be done in a foreign country. This creates a huge financial burden which the family cannot afford. As such, they are appealing for people’s generous assistance. The mother of the two sisters is donating one of her kidneys but a second kidney has to be purchased. The mother lost her third daughter to a similar disease last year. The mother has sold her only house.
We think this is an opportunity to make a difference, perhaps to save lives in the spirit of the New Year and Ethiopian Christmas! Please keep in mind, time is against us and let us act quickly and donate as much as we can! The sisters are going through kidneys dialysis treatment twice a week.

The depressing New Year message for Eritreans and the Region
As we have pointed out last week, for the New Year, President Isaias Afeworki gave a lengthy briefing on a wide range of issues to his people. In addition to his marathon lecture on far-flung issues of the world at large, of little or no relevance to Eritreans’...

Fog and complications within OLF raises false hope in Gimboat 7
Dilwenberu Nega 4th January 2012- If folly were grief every OLF supporter would weep. That would be your honest verdict if you had the misfortune of reading blurred and confused statements that was churned out by two groups both claiming to be Oromo Liberation Front (OLF). That the OLF has been on a downhill spiral ever since it walked out from the Transitional Government is an open secret. So, too, has been its relegation to the league of despicable quislings in the service of the fountainhead of terrorism in the Horn of Africa.
The Old New face of the Eritrean Propaganda Machinery, Orion Daniel Jan 3, 2012 -
Dear Max,
Very Happy New Year 2012 and thank you Max and Stacy for being the voices of the voiceless 99%...on Tuesday 27/12/11, I watched the Keiser Report Episode No.228 that was aired at about GMT 21:30. I specifically refer to the interview you had with a certain self appointed "independent journalist" Thomas C. Mountain
Ethiopian extremist elements in Diaspora are in love with Isaias Afeworki in Eritrea! So much is their love for him they are willing to be his clowns no matter what. Ever since Isaias Afeworki became a naked emperor he has been trying all kind of tricks to resuscitate the dying Ethiopian oppositions in exile. One of his latest tricks is creating an OLF that smells and feels like Ginbot 7. He does this while keeping a separatist OLF at home as you can see in the two press releases below! The gullible foot soldiers of Birhanu Nega who are in love to death literally with Wedi Afom have been raising the Champagne to welcome the latest news from the other OLF! The Diaspora extremists were full of Drs and Engineers and yet they cannot see the game plan from Asmara! sad sad!( commentary from our email folder!)
Ginbot 7 and Dr Birhanu Nega :-Dr Birhanu Nega and Ginbot 7! Endelebu Wodaj Dec 31, 2011 -
Ever since Kinjit came apart after the leaders were released from government jail opposition politics has not been the same. For many supporters the failure of the leadership to lead the struggle was hard to swallow. In fact many became disillusioned and left the struggle all together and many others thought and hoped the emerging Ginbot 7 organization founded by Dr Birhanu will become...
Comment: Ginbot 7 was not and can not be a force to be taken seriously when it comes to promoting democracy in Ethiopia.The organization is simply used as a comfort vehicle for Birhanu's life in exile. We are certain the other characters in Ginbot 7 will spin out as soon as the marraige with OLF is signed!
