Norway police stopped meeting in Tasta Bydelshus

Source: Aftenbladet

The police came out with three cars and six policemen and stopped a meeting of Tasta bydelshus where the atmosphere was becoming so very irritably among the more than 300 Ethiopian origin attendees.

The 300 attendees were Ethiopian asylum seekers or people with Ethiopian background. The police feared that it would get completely out of control when people in the audience went to the hard verbal confrontation against two representatives from the Ethiopian Embassy in Stockholm who had called for and chaired the meeting.

The police gave the first message that all protesters to leave the meeting while the two embassy people and their potential supporters can be seated. This denied the attendees protesters, and several feared it would come to an open confrontation between police and people in the audience. Then, specific efforts manager Øyvind Sveinsvoll of Rogaland police to stop the meeting and clear the room.

It was a wise decision, said several of those present protesters. They did not want the two embassy people should be left as “victors” while they were evicted.

- Our goal was to stop the meeting. We managed, says one of them to Eve magazine.

Had to isolate embassy people

The atmosphere was tense that the police chose to isolate the two embassy people from the rest of the participants. They escorted them out to a private car that carried them away from the area. The 300 attendees were then drop out of the courtroom.

There was general consul at the Ethiopian Embassy, ​​Abay Mebrat Beyene, who would chair the meeting with embassy secretary. The main theme was collecting money in the Ethiopian exile to a very controversial prestige project for the regime in Ethiopia.

Mass demonstrations abroad

The Ethiopian authorities have tried to keep similar “recovery meetings” both in South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the U.S. and Germany, and each time meetings have ended in massive demonstrations against human rights violations in Ethiopia. People imprisoned without trial, free elections are abolished, freedom of speech likewise, newspapers are state controlled and hundreds of journalists imprisoned.

Not voluntary payment

Several took the floor during the meeting and said this was not a voluntary fundraising. Those who did not pay the money, you could expect problems when they contacted the embassy to obtain a passport or ID papers.
Gearing up for the Oslo-riot

Saturday’s meeting was the first of its kind in Norway. And exiled Ethiopians came in separate buses from Oslo, others came from Steinkjær, Otta, Stord and Bergen to demonstrate in Tasta bydelshus against the regime in Ethiopia.

28th April, the Ethiopian Embassy in Stockholm holds a similar meeting in Oslo.

- We are going to fill the buses with protesters, said several of those present to Eve magazine.

 

 

 

! ……… On Some Maths ………….!

I was once discussing with some university students (on the area of ‘objectivism vs subjectivism’. 

I told them, ‘everything is subjective (including this one), and this is the only objective thing’. I thought my idea was not clear (because of their silence), and took second chance to say, ‘the only objective thing is that everything is subjective’.

One of the smart students challenged me, ‘for example, there is some objectivity in natural sciences –as it depends on natural objects and scientific methods.’

‘First, natural science is not based on objectivity; it is rather based on hypotheses. Hypothesis is assumption. Assumptions are based on postulates. A postulate has nothing to do with objectivity. It has to do with some convenience in order to deal with some logical reasoning.’ I replied.

‘But it uses scientific method’, another student argued.

‘Scientific method is all about reasoning. Reasoning is logic. Logic is about the way we use to communicate via language. Language uses words. Words are meaningful sounds. Human beings assign some specific meanings to sounds to make words. So, words do not have their own real meanings. Therefore, ‘scientific method’ is just a way of arguing. What differs natural science from the social one is, it focuses on some seemingly ‘tangible’ things. Yet, the game is all same’. It was my response.

‘For example, mathematics is believed to objective. Accordingly 1+1= 2. Isn’t this objective?’ The first student argued and the others turned to me.

‘First, mathematics is not natural science. It is known as formal science, because it doesn’t deal with the natural phenomena. It is about language (mathematical language). Second, like words, numbers are also nonsense. They are rules of games, simply playthings, conventionally agreed for convenience. 

‘1+1=2, this is true for the purpose of convenience only. Let me prove it from two aspects; one from the THING (physicalor material world).

1+1 is not two but one plus one, as it is. It is impossible to sum them up to one unit; as they are two different things, entities. We have to possibilities: either 1 (first one) and 1 (the second one) are one and same OR they are different. 

Here comes the logic: if they are ONE and same. Then, there is no need to add (or make summation) them together, because they are already one. Then ‘they’ becomes ‘one’. One is one. It is one. So, 1+1=1. 

But if they are different, they cannot be added, because they are different. In mathematics, we cannot add one sheep and one goat. By the same logic, we cannot add one sheep with another sheep, because it is ‘another’ as it is different in many aspects (in color, size, age, orientation etc.). Therefore, 1+1 = 1+1 (not 2).

That is NO TWO THINGS are identical in the world. Everything is unique to its own right, impossible to ADD except for the sake of an ASSUMPTION.

Secondly, from the NO-THNIG (metaphysical or spiritul world); all is ONE- the same radiant energy field. Therefore, 1+1 is ONE and only ONE because ALL is ONE.

Hence numbers (and words) are only useful, utilitarian yet without any objectivity. 

Yes, everything is subjective including this one. 

It is so!!!

U.S. Department of State 2012 Report Slams Ethiopia

Ethiopia is a federal republic. On August 20, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi died. The ruling Ethiopian People’s 

Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) elected then deputy prime minister Hailemariam Desalegn to take Meles’s place as chairman of the party. The EPRDF subsequently nominated him for the post of prime minister. On September 21, parliament elected Hailemariam as prime minister. In national parliamentary elections in 2010, the EPRDF and affiliated parties won 545 of 547 seats to remain in power for a fourth consecutive five-year term. Although the relatively few international officials allowed to observe the elections concluded technical aspects of the vote were handled competently, some also noted that an environment conducive to free and fair elections was not in place prior to the election.

Myopic EPRDF warlords in their airtight cage By Robele Ababya

Self-defense at this critical time in the history of Ethiopia threatened by divisive ethnic policy being perpetrated by TPLF’s warlords is a natural right. The Amharas subjected to ethnic cleansing and indeed the living under tyranny in abject poverty seek practical solutions to their multiple miseries quickly before it is too late to avert civil disorder of far reaching consequences to Ethiopia and the region of the Horn of Africa. The parochial EPRDF warlords in their airtight cage care less about peace and tranquility in Ethiopia and states in the region. The warlords are strange cage-fellows mistrustful of one another and devoid of constructive ideas.Writings and quotes deemed relevant to this piece

Is it mistake or a deep rooted hatred? by Yoseph Afework

Most recently the eviction of 5,000 ethnic Amharas from Benishangul Gumuz regional state was a hot issue on Ethiopian media.  Starting the day ESAT reported on the incident, we have heard many reports on the issue and now most recently we heard that the Benishangul Gumuz regional administrators had apologize for the incident and call the evicted to return claiming it a mistake and vows to take administrative action on those involved.

Some considered the apology as a positive progress on the situation. Is it really a good progress? Are the returnees safe when they are back? How are these victims assisted to return to their regular life?  Would these returnees coop up with the psychological trauma they have passed

TPLF Ambassador gets a Surprise Audience in Houston: Women in Hijab by dula Ethiodemocrat.com

With their beautiful attire and Hijab on the head, Ethiopian Muslim women surprised Woyanes and everyone in Houston on Sunday, April 14, 2013. Instead of usual cordial and subservient Ethiopian woman, who were often absent from such rallies, Woyane Ambassador was confronted with assertive, and bold Ethiopian women, who at last understood the damage the regime has done to their people regardless of where they hail from.

Unlike in the past the conference was packed, but the Woyane Ambassador might have thought the Muslim audience was his usual allies of the past from Tigre or some allies from the South. To his surprise, he faced a different class of Ethiopian women who at last decided to face the Woyane beast head on.

! …………… On 'State Capitalists' ……………!

History has shown us that there were/are regimes which claim to establish ‘Communist States or Parties’. However, communism or socialism is not (and cannot be) an ideology or policy to observe. If any government introduces 'socialism or communism' as its guiding ideology, then we can assume two things: Either the officials could not understand what the idea of Marx’s communism is all about or they want to be state capitalists (they want to be totalitarian regimes in the name of communism).

There has never been any communist state in the world so far. And we can never have such ‘communist’ state for two reasons. First, if there is communism, there is no state. Because if there is state, there is no communism. Second, communism and capitalism cannot be contemporary contenders. The Eastern leftists had created very strong states in the name of ‘communism’.

Had they been true ‘communists’, they would have never established strong states, because in the age of ‘communism’ proper, the state withers away. It means that the state disappears by itself on its own time. But to the contrary, the states, in such totalitarian ‘communists’, have

Ethnic-based Politics in Ethiopia by Teklu Abate

According to the National Electoral Board of Ethiopia, there are 79 political parties registered under Proclamation No573/2008. Of these, only 29% have country-wide (national) identity whereas 71% are regional parties that are organized around ethnic lines.

Of those parties dubbed to have national outreach, some such as All Amhara People’s Organization (AAPO), Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Front (EPRDF), Geda System Advancement Party, Oromo Federalist Democratic Movement, and All Oromo People Democratic Party do actually have, as their names indicate, ethnicity as their organizing logic. Several armed groups and parties are also following suit. Stated simply, Ethiopian politics is heavily smeared with ethnicism. On average, each nationality (ethnic group) has got its own political party.

Battle over FinFisher snooping tech begins Privacy International takes on HMRC

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is the subject of court action by Privacy International.

The privacy organisation has filed for judicial review after the tax collector refused to reveal the state of an investigation into Gamma International. Privacy International claims the company has been exporting sophisticated surveillance technology, which has been used to spy on dissidents in Bahrain and elsewhere.

It said the FinFisher software had been linked to use in more than two dozen countries, including Bahrain, Egypt, Ethiopia, Turkmenistan and Vietnam.

Now the group has gone after HMRC, which it claims has “categorically refused to provide any details regarding any investigation into Gamma’s export practices”, arguing it is statutorily barred from releasing information to victims or complainants.

Liberating a “Prison Nation” – Alemayehu G. Mariamby Alemayehu G. Mariam

Ethiopia today is a “prison of nations and nationalities with the Oromo being one of the prisoners”, proclaimed the

 recently issued Declaration of the Congress of the Oromo Democratic Front (ODF). This open-air prison is administered through a system of “bogus federalism” in which “communities exercise neither self-rule nor shared-rule but have been enduring the TPLF/EPRDF’s tyrannical rule for more than two decades.” The jail keepers or the “ruling party directly and centrally micro-manage all communities by pre-selecting its surrogates that the people are then coerced to ‘elect’ at elections that are neither free nor fair”. Ethiopians can escape from “prison nation” and get on the “path to democracy, stability, peace, justice, and sustainable development” when they are able to establish a democratic process in which “all communities elect their representatives in fair and free elections.”

The ODF is a “new movement” launched by “pioneers of the Oromo nationalist struggle” who “have mapped out a new path that embraces the struggle of all oppressed Ethiopians for social

Dansk adoptivbarns foreldre krever foreldremyndigheten tilbake

Et etiopisk par går rettens vei for å få sin bortadopterte datter tilbake fra de danske foreldrene. En adopsjonssak i Nederland gir dem håp om medhold.

Danske myndigheter står overfor en situasjon uten historisk parallell i landet når de biologiske foreldrene nå vil ha gjenetablert de juridiske båndene til Masho og lillebroren Roba, melder Danmarks Radio.

Foreldrene er inspirert av en sak fra Nederland og Etiopia med den 15 år gamle adopterte jenta Betty Damoze. I februar i år ble adopsjonen hennes omstøtt, altså erklært ugyldig.

En domstol i Etiopias hovedstad Addis Abeba omstøtte adopsjonen etter at de fant det bevist at Damoze hadde vært utsatt for vold hos adoptivforeldrene i Nederland.

Jailed Ethiopian female journalist Reeyot Alemu in critical condition

*spare Reeyot, CPJ pleads with Berhan Hailu

Her predicament touched millions of hearts around the world in 2012 when it was established that she had a tumor in her breast which prompted her lawyer father and others to plead with the late Ethiopian despot Meles Zenawi for clemency on humanitarian grounds.

 malignant

However, the fiend fuehrer refused to pardon Reeyot, an iconic figure in Ethiopian free media fraternity and she went under the knife, and rushed back to jail in most brutal show of barbarity by the hateful prison authorities.

But against all odds, even after being forced to recuperate in filthy cell, the courageous Reeyot survived.

Held since 2011 on trumped up terrorism charge alongside blogger Eskinder Nega and young politicians Andualem Aragie and Natinael Mekonnen, in the past two weeks there were reports of

የ“አብዮታዊ ዲሚክራሲ” መንገድ የት ያደርሳል ? (በአብርሃ ደስታ)

ወቅቱ የአካባቢና ከተሞች “ምርጫ” የሚካሄድበት ነው ። ሰለ “ምርጫ” ሲታሰብ ስለ አማራጮች ማሰላሰል ግድ ነው ። አንድ ፖለቲካዊ ምርጫ ምርጫ የሚያሰኙት ነገሮች ምንድን ናቸው? ምርጫው ዲሞክራሲያዊና

የተሟላ እንዲሆን አማራጮች (ተወዳዳሪ የፖለቲካ ፓርቲዎች) መኖር አለባቸው። ምክንያቱም በምርጫ የሚመርጥ ህዝብና የሚመረጡ የፖለቲካ ድርጅት ተወካዮች መኖር አለባቸው ። መራጩ ህዝብ በአግባቡ መምረጥ እንዲችል ለምርጫ ሰለሚቀርቡ ፓርቲዎች በቂ መረጃ ሊኖረው ይገባል።

ህዝቡ በቂ መረጃ እንዲኖረው በምርጫ የሚቀርቡ ፓርቲዎች በነፃነት ተንቀሳቅሰው ከህዝቡ ተገናኝተው አማራጭ ፖሊሲዎቻቸውና ዓላማቸው ማስተዋወቅ ይኖርባቸዋል። እነዚህ ፖሊሲዎችና ዓላማዎች ለማስተዋወቅ ነፃና ገለልተኛ የግል ሚድያዎች መኖር አለባቸው። መራጩ ህዝብም በነፃነት የፈለገውን የመምረጥ መብት ሊከበርለት ይገባል።

ስለዚ በምርጫ የፖለቲካ ድርጅቶች ማቅረብ የሚጠበቅባቸው “የሚመረጡ ሰዎች” ብቻ ሳይሆን ለመመረጥ የሚያስችላቸው የፖሊሲ አቅጣጫዎች ጭምር ነው ።

የኢትዮዽያ ተቃዋሚ ፓርቲዎች ኢህአዴግ ዓፋኝ ስለመሆኑ ይነግሩናል። ኢህአዴግም በበኩሉ ተቃዋሚዎች አማራጭ ፖሊሲዎች እንደሌላቸው ያስረዳል ። ነገር ግን ተቃዋሚዎች አማራጭ ፖሊሲ ይኑራቸው አይኑራቸው “አለን” የሚሉትን ነገር ለህዝብ እንዲያቀርቡት ተፈቅዶላቸዋል ወይ? ፓሊሲ እንዳላቸው ወይ እንደሌላቸው መወሰን ያለበት መራጩ ህዝብ አይደለምን ?
