Meles, who now tells us that Egypt has an army trained for jungle warfare, was busy tearing down the Ethiopian Defense Forces re-built at enormous cost even as recent as the yester-year war with Eritrea.

 SudanTribune article : Meles has failed to deliver democracy to Ethiopians
Therefore, I believe that any hateful propaganda should be directed toward Meles’ deeds and his leadership style, not at him personally or at his Tigre people.
To say that Meles’ regime has not delivered on what it promised to deliver to all Ethiopians, would not be an exaggeration or would not be going extreme, it would just be saying the facts.
Was it not Meles’ regime that murdered more than 426 Anyuak men on Dec. 13, 2003 in front of their wives and children just because they happened to oppose his policies in Gambella region?

It was to that end, Meles Zenawi, the leader of the apartheid regime of Ethiopia, was seen performing his dancing ritual and blabbered the acceptance of the ruling of the Boundary Commission “in principle”, with “dialogue”, and “give and take” as a package.
Meles must not be a good student of geometry and it is high time for him to understand that a “straight line” can only be “straight” and famous “Straight Line” was straight from the ages and to the Eritreans it can only be “straight” for generation to come.
Meles must not be bright if he thought he could outsmart or outfox the very Eritrean leadership, the very individuals, who taught him the ABCs (HA.…HU….HI….) aspects of his life and his organization not to mention the opening of the gates of Menelik Palace and letting him in.

Meles Zenawi can reflect on the fact that he's now been in power as long as the man he helped to overthrow - Colonel Mengistu Haile Mariam.
Early in his premiership, Meles Zenawi was regarded as one of a breed of younger African leaders who would spearhead a new beginning on the continent.
The real test for Meles Zenawi, though, is to demonstrate that Ethiopia is genuinely committed to the freedom and democracy that it espouses, and at a time when calls for good governance are high on the international agenda.

The above fact was crystal clear to Meles and, given his rather untenable position with regard to his approach to and handling of the whole Eritrean debacle (especially after the rift in the TPLF leadership), a huge cause of concern.
Eventually, the deceitful position of Meles and his group is laid bare when the Border Commission published a detailed clarification, even outlining the absolutely horrendous role of the Ethiopian government in that disaster.
Meles' propaganda machine is swiftly set in motion, Meles “briefs” diplomats in Addis and tries to explain what is meant by “in principle” and by “give and take”.
