Thank You Note
June 28, 2008
Kinijit (Andinet) Los Angeles Support and Development Association appreciates all Ethiopians, who participated on the June 14th 2008 public meeting to support the Ethiopia and Sudan Border issue Committee.
It is to be remembered that Dr. Fisseha Abebe and Professor Al Mariam exposed Woyane's secret dealings. Facts on the ground was exposed by Dr. Fisseha's presentation, while Professor Al explained the treason committed by Meles's regime from the legal point of view.
A total of $5260, which was raised at the event, was successfully wired (transfered) to the Border Committee's account.
Once again this is a good sign of cooperation and working together with all Ethiopians to save our country. We wish the Border Committee success on their endeavor. We know Ethiopians will be waiting for them where ever they go with open arms and strong desire to assist them in whatever means possible.
We wish the Border committee best of luck and success in exposing Woyane's treason.
Thank You
Kinijit (Andinet) Los Angeles Support and Development Association.

Artist Debebe Eshetu tells the whole truth noting but the truth
Sunday December 16, 2007
Artist Debebe Eshetu mesmerized the Los Angeles crowd by telling it like it is.
The crowd was so intensely engaged, you could hear a pin drop while Artist Debebe was sequentially laying out the details of events how the current rift by Ato Hailu Shawl was started.
After receiving a message from his corrupted buddies in North America, Shaleka Yoseph Yazew and Ato Mogus Brook, Ato Hailu attempted to change Kinijit council’s decision on the makeup of North America’s Kinijit delegation team and later unsuccessfully tried to delay the trip. When he failed to do both he became disgruntled and the snowball of lies started rolling.
Ato Hailu and his North America buddies never truly accepted the rules of democracy. Artist Debebe humbly and honestly described how his generation had no clue about democracy until Kinijit came to the picture. He said “all our lives all we knew was getting promoted by appointment, so the idea that you have to be elected to a position and you could any time be fired if disapproved by the public was a very scary thought”
The core of all the problems is practicing democracy is not as easy as preaching it.
Since we Ethiopians have been betrayed by our leaders so many times, in the name of equality; national liberation etc… so we no longer have ears for preachers but we pay great attention to what is being practiced on the ground.
No amount of pretense by pseudo-democrats can cover the truth. Kinijit is going through a natural process of cleansing itself from remnants of the feudalistic regime actors who were trying to promote themselves as democrats.
We were very fortunate to have Artist Debebe Eshetu on a family visit here in Los Angeles to give us such a clear picture of the current situation in the Kinijit’s leadership. He made us realize it’s only a blessing in disguise which will only benefit the party in the long run.
The extraordinary sacrifices paid for democracy and human rights will not be used by any one person or organization as a springboard to power.
A dictator is a dictator with or without arms.
Democracy will prevail!
