The first protest rally will be held in Washington DC on August 5, 2010 at the Embassy of China. Address: 3505 International Place NW, Washington DC 20008 Date/Time: [...]

Ethiopian Review has been the most tolerant among the Ethiopian media as far as allowing free expression of ideas and views, even though some of the views expressed tend to be full of hatred and insults. Recently I have been receiving complaints from readers, particularly fellow Muslim Ethiopians, about some comments that are being posted [...]

On this date, July 29, 1936, the Italian forces occupying Ethiopia executed Abune Petros. Italy invaded Ethiopia in May 1936, forcing Emperor HaileSelassie into exile.  Gen. Rodolfo Graziani, who led the invasion forces, proclaimed: "The Duce [Mussolini] will have Ethiopia, with or without the Ethiopians." Ethiopian Orthodox patriarch Abune Petros became the symbol of resistance [...]

Russia has donated a large quantity of wheat to Ethiopia, according to a report by Xinhua, a Chinese news agency. Meanwhile, Indian, Chinese and Saudi Arabian corporations are given large tracts of fertile land by Ethiopia's genocidal regime to grow wheat, corn and other food to be exported to their countries. This the kind of [...]

Note: This is the second installment in a series of commentaries I intend to offer on U.S. foreign policy (or lack thereof as some would argue) in Ethiopia.
