Houstonians show solidarity with Ethiopian-Muslims


Dula Abdu from Houston, Texas
The Ethiopian Muslims are paving the way by taking the risk
Ethiopians brazen the hot sun in Houston to show their solidarity with their Muslim brethren in Ethiopia, who have been standing up to the Woyanes every Friday for over a year. The Ethiopian regime arrested a number of Muslim leaders in an effort to silence them. Their protest stems from government attempt to appoint their leaders and to force them to follow a brand of Islam that the government prefers.
The Woyane’s hope to divide and conquer Muslim Ethiopians failed miserably. The motto of “united we stand and divided we fall” is abundantly clear among all Ethiopians, but for Muslims, it is part of the religion as observed by Malcolm X during his visit to Mecca.
Malcolm X said Islam is a religion that “erases from its society the race problem” and one that generates overwhelming spirit of true brotherhood as is practiced by people of all colors and races. During his visit to Mecca, he was able to eat from the same plate, drink from the same glass, and slept on the same rug – while praying to the same God – with fellows whose eyes were the bluest of blue, whose hair was the blondest of blond, and whose skin was the whitest of white. This was unknown to him in Jim Crow infested America then. He felt comfortable among white Muslims, among the black African Muslims of Nigeria, Sudan and Ghana.
The Woyanes can learn from Islam to let and let live in peace with everybody or get consumed by the hate and division they created. Thanks To Muslim Ethiopians, that the table is turning against the Woyane scheme of divide and conquer.

Ethiopian Kid Punished to Death, Trial Begins


Trial begins for parents accused of starving adopted daughter

by ERIC WILKINSON / KING 5 News
For Hana Williams, it was a troubled transition from Ethiopia to the promised land of America. She wet the bed, rebelled against her strict Christian parents and was more than they and their seven biological children could handle. Less than 3 years after setting foot in her new Seedro-Woolley home, Hana was dead.

The question before jurors now is did Carri Williams and her husband Larry cause Hana’s death? The devout Christians admittedly did not spare the rod with their children, but prosecutors say they went to terrible extremes, hitting Hana and her younger brother with plastic plumbing pipes, hosing them down with cold water and forcing Hana to sleep in a barn or a four-foot-by-two-foot closet for weeks at a time.
“These things are not discipline or punishment,” said assistant Skagit County prosecutor Rosemary Kaholokula. “They constitute torture.”
Prosecutors say the couple withheld food from Hana as a form of punishment and at the time of her death, the teenager weighed just 80 pounds. One cold, wet night in May 2011, she was sent outside as punishment wearing little more than cut-off sweatpants and a T-shirt. A few hours later she was dead from hypothermia exacerbated by malnutrition.Less than 3 years after setting foot in her new Seedro-Woolley home, Hana Williams was dead.
“At one point as Hana was out there dying of hypothermia, her mother came out and hit her with a switch,” said Kaholokula.
Defense attorneys, however, argue the couple’s parenting was poor, but it did not cause the girl’s death.
“She had no reason to believe that Hana, in her backyard, was suffering from hypothermia,” said Laura Riquelme, representing Carri Williams.
The defense paints a picture of a strict but solid family where Carri homeschooled the nine children and her husband worked long hours at Boeing. They say Hana suffered from hepatitis and herpes and that she was removed from the other children for hygiene issues. At one point, they say, she smeared her menstrual blood on the bathroom door.
The night of her death, Riquelme says, Carri Williams ordered her daughter to come in out of the cold. She even sent the girl’s brothers to bring her in, but she wouldn’t budge. Williams set out dry clothing for the girl, but she never put it on.
“Carri said, ‘That’s it.’ She made numerous attempt to bring her in and decided she could come in on her own,” Riquelme told jurors.

Semehal Meles Zenawi, the daughter of the late Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi
Semehal Meles Zenawi, the daughter of the late Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, “has deposited $5 billion in one of the banks in New York”, said Dr. Wondimu Mekonnen, an academic and opposition figure, during a recent presentation at the House of Commons in the U.K.
Celebrity Net Worth site said Meles Zenawi got a net worth of $3 billion.

Wondimu also showed and distributed to the members of the House who attended his presentation, what he called a “copy of the cheque of the money” she lodged.
Celebrity Net Worth site said Meles Zenawi got a net worth of $3 billion. What a shame! That is wrong guys. Absolutely wrong. I have got a copy of a cheque signed by Semhal Meles Zenawi, the daughter of Meles Zenawi himself, depositing in one of the New York banks $5 billion. I have got and I will give you the copy. Don’t ask me how it came into our possession but that is a fact.
Wondimu further said ”I think, Celebrity Net Worth, got it entirely all wrong. If that was the case, how come, a check in the name of his elder daughter Semhal Meles Zenawi, for US5 billion was deposited into a bank in New York? We will leave the investigation to Department of Fraud and Money Laundering Investigation of the United States”.
In the 10 minute presentation, also posted on Youtube, Wondimu extensively discussed the prevalent corruption in Ethiopia and how the ruling Front is in the core of the corruption scandal titling it “legally corrupt”.

Concluding his speech, Wondimu said
Ethiopians are determined to get rid of these human rights abusers. All we ask the United Kingdom and United States is not stand on our way, by financing and sustaining it to exist. A regime that terrorises its people cannot be an ally against terrorism. I know that, the Ethiopian Regime is playing the Chinese card. This is black-mailing. Just abandon it. Trust us. It will collapse. If you, particularly the British Government, take the right action now, you will remain with friends and trustworthy allies forever – the people of Ethiopia.
