	BBC NEWS \| Africa \| Profile: Ethiopian leader Meles Zenawi
		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.

	Somalis' Al Qaeda link treat by Meles Zenawi is mainly political work - Reader comments at The New York Sun
		Meles' political interest in somalia is to divert his political problem at home and to seek more help and support from America which America is at the for front to fight terrorism world wide.
		Meles might be on the side of fighting terrorism but for sure his involvement in Somalia is more dangerous for Ethiopian security.
		Meles' political position is dangerous for Ethiopia, Somalia, East Africa and the rest of the world.

	Meles Zenawi, Dictator of the Month February, 2006
		Meles Zenawi was born on 08 May, 1955 in Adwa, in the Tigray Province of Northern Ethiopia.
		Zenawi maintains that the current situation has been orchestrated against him by opposition to effect his overthrow and that this has been planned since before parliamentary elections.
		Despite Zenawi’s public statements that he and his country agree to the peace settlements, 2004 marked the beginning of another military build-up by Ethiopia on the frontier with Eritrea, and at the end of December, 2005, the International Crisis Group (ICG) is warning that "urgent intervention is needed to prevent war" between the two countries.

	American Chronicle \| Ali Mohammed Ghedi-Meles Zenawi's Stooge and Somalia's Traitor
		Meles Zenawi’s war of aggression against the people of Somalia was not a surprise to folks like me who have been watching the developments in Somalia since June 2006 when the Union of Islamic Courts took over Mogadishu and restored peace in Somalia after 15 years of anarchy and chaos.
		When the entire world knows that it is Meles Zenawi’s armed forces that were in Somalia, Ali Mohammad Ghedi harped about unnamed “foreign fighters” and “Eritrean forces” in order to cover up for his masters at Menelik Palace and divert attention from Meles Zenawi’s criminal acts in Somalia.
		Ali Mohammad Ghedi was born in Mogadishu, Somalia in 1951.

	UNSG Kofi Annan: Meles Zenawi's Apologist and Spokesperson
		Meles went to war on a lie, invaded sovereign Eritrean territories and caused the death of more than 120,000 Ethiopians using them as cannon fodder and minesweepers in his minority regime's aggressive war of expansion against Eritrea with the support of friends such as Kofi Annan at the UN.
		In light of the fact that the Security Council based their resolutions on flawed and biased recommendations of the Secretary General and his staff, it is no wonder then that the UN Security Council has opted to adopt so many (over 17) toothless resolutions and statements on the Eritrea Ethiopia border issue.
		Meles has obstructed the work of the Border Commission and has refused to allow it to fulfill its sole mandate of demarcating the Eritrea Ethiopia border.

	What is Meles Zenawi doing in Somalia?
		Meles Zenawi's intervention is not only negatively affecting developments inside Somalia, but also is leading the area into a larger conflagration.
		Meles Zenawi’s lobbyists employed for $50,000 a month by money snatched from the mouths of hungry children recently and a newly appointed ambassador are parading the anti-terrorism cooperation flag to cover for the crimes the regime is committing in Ethiopia.
		Meles is a fairly sophisticated tactician and he knows it is not for Ethiopia or any fear of terrorism against Ethiopia.

	Power base of Meles
		Meles Zenawi and Sebhat Nega and their relatives make up the core of the TPLF leadership and the Ethiopian regime.
		Many of Meles Zenawi’s long time trusted lieutenants turned their back on him, so, from 2002 to 2005 Meles Zenawi shifted his power base to the EPRDF headquarters, where he promoted some leaders in the ANDM and the OPDO.
		Although they were declared elected in a rerun, Meles Zenawi cannot depend on these cadres because they are rejected by the people and therefore, they could no more cheat and control the people in their regions.

	Anuak Justice Council
		As Meles is riding high with public recognition, Ethiopians, especially those who live in the United States, Canada or Europe, are discouraged with one-sided coverage that has not even mentioned the fact that Ethiopia has turned into a repressive and abusive police state where its own citizens live in fear and silence.
		Meles was schooled in Marxist/Leninist/atheistic principles, which he appears to heartily follow while speaking the foreign language of democracy, words of which he seems to have no understanding.
		Meles said Ethiopian troops had killed a thousand Somalis, but never mentioned how many Ethiopians were killed in what appears to be a war for his survival.

	STOP FINANCING ONE OF THE TOP WORLD DICTATORS: MELES ZENAWI!! Petition
		Zenawi has been warmly courted by the United States since the Clinton era and continues to be pampered by the George W Bush administration which has anointed him as an ally on the open ended “War on Terror” in the Horn of Africa.
		Meles Zenawi is the devil whose soul is ice, that emanates throughout his body and transmutes all of the verdant fields of love into Arctic wastelands of unremitting hate.
		Meles Zenawi will not stop his atrocities since a person who has once committed crime of that scale is bound to slide further down the slippery slope, piling one atrocity on another.

	Meles Zenawi: Mistaking Mogadishu for Mekele (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Zenawi, in his theatrical speech, pressed the panic button; trumpeted his suspect Ethiopian nationalist credentials; and sounded as if militants with extremist ideologies have been marauding downtown Mekele, his Tigrian hometown, for a while.
		Zenawi has admitted to the world and only after repeated denials that his troops are deployed in many parts of Somalia.
		Instead of driving ONLF fighters into oblivion in Ogaden as was envisioned by Zenawi and his minions on the onset of the current counter insurgency operations carried out by Ethiopia, ONLF has gained the upper hand militarily in every encounter.

	Meles unveiled Tom Burgis - openDemocracy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Tony Blair, British premier and first among the current generation of cluster-bomb-toting "progressives", edged his chair away from that of Meles Zenawi, his Ethiopian counterpart and, until he started butchering protesters and dispatching dissidents to the clink, one of the crop of African leaders styled by the west as the blighted continent's messiahs.
		When Legesse Zenawi (also known as Legesse Gebru, Legesse Zenawi, Gebru Zenawi, Wedi Gebru, though he prefers "Meles") swept into Addis Ababa in 1991, Ethiopians weary of the savagery of the Mengistu dictatorship and seventeen years of internecine war glimpsed the light at the end of their blood-spattered, famished tunnel.
		Meles, at the head of a guerrilla coalition, set about recasting the country according to a model that analysts describe as "linguistic" or "ethnic feudalism".

		Except for Meles Zenawi and a handful of undercover agents of foreign governments, most members of the EPRDF are deep at heart proud of their heritage and history as Ethiopians and would be able to redirect their political affiliation in order to benefit Ethiopia.
		At any rate, from Meles Zenawi’s point of view, everyone is expendable except Meles Zenawi, and he will throw off his associates at a drop of a hat if the question is his survival.
		The purpose of such exercise was to enable Meles Zenawi representing the TPLF to survive by forming a new type of “EPRDF” with members of the Opposition.

	Meles Zenawi more and more contested
		Prime Minister Meles Zenawi is now losing the authority that he had regained over the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF, hard line core of the EPRDF in power in Addis Ababa) when he excluded dissidents led by Tewolde Wolde Mariam in 2001.
		Once again, critics of Meles Zenawi and his supporters are making themselves heard within the TPLF party, making the Prime Minister ever more aggressive against his detractors, whoever they may be.
		Meles Zenawi must handle this affair prudently if he is not to give a handle to TPLF dissidents with which to criticize him.

		While the inept U.S. State Department officials may be fooled by the intelligence Meles provided to them about the threat of the ICU, every one else, including the Europeans, believe that he is invading Somalia to divert attention from the internal crises his regime is facing.
		Sadly, in the name of fighting terrorism, Jendayi E. Frazer and her morally corrupt U.S. State Department officials are assisting Meles Zenawi, the number one terrorist in the Horn of Africa, to wage a war that could cause incalculable damage to the whole region.
		Meles, who was rejected by the people of Ethiopia in the May 2005 elections, doesn't have a mandate to declare war on behalf of Ethiopia.

		Zenawi’s notion of a kind of ethnic federalism was not a bad one.

	Why is Meles Zenawi Meddling In Somalia
		Meles sells to the United States of America that Islamist elements in Somalia are harboring international terrorists who are a threat not only to the Horn of Africa but to the entire world as well.
		Zenawi’s recent declaration of war with ICU in Somalia has reminded the world to see again the pictures of starved children scattered throughout Somalia and a sudden influx of refugees into Kenyan border with Somalia.
		Zenawi, because he expects to see a world united to fight against the ICU, that has been a thorn in his flesh.

	Interview With Meles Zenawi
		Thursday, December 14, 2006; 12:26 PM The Washington Post's Stephanie McCrummen sat down this week with Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi to discuss rising tensions with Somalia's Islamic Courts, and the state of democracy inside the country.
		On the issue of Somalia: Ethiopia is inching closer to war with the Islamic Courts, who have taken over large swaths the country, including its capital, and who have in the past called for creation of a "Greater Somalia," including portions of ethnically Somali Ethiopia, Kenya and Djibouti.
		For someone to say in the face of such facts and stark realities, that facing the challenge on its own terms is what creates the challenge in the first place, such arguments in my view are worse than fecklessness in the face of a challenge.

	Meles monstrosity lies with Yusuf going to Mogadishu
		One unlikely and wishful scenario the looming war betwen Meles and the courts could be stopped lies surprisingly within the transitional federal government, especially on the hands of President Yusuf.
		But if these unaccommodating stumbling blocks were not there and Yusuf would have acted as a real leader, Meles Zenawi and his war peril would have been minimized for a moment and the world would have seen him as what he is: a fanatical monster.
		Meles will have more homegrown revolt and that may be his fateful demise.
