No matter who perpetrated this savage act or who was victimized, the killings should never be condoned. What puzzles me is how these well educated among us who hail from that area have kept their mouths zip locked on the matter. They must have first hand information about it since they have close re...

It was reported that my longtime homeboy from Piccola Roma Osman Saleh, and President Trump's advisor Massad Fares Boulos had an on the side meeting in New York. The main topic on the agenda during this meeting was to finalize the deal where USA will buy the latest version of TM model tanks and SF-H...

I just returned from Al-Qahirah after consoling el-Sisi. He was totally despondent after Brother Ruto of Kenya told him to take a hike. Poor el-Sisi tried to admonish Ruto for attending the ceremonial gathering at GERD Dam and Ruto told him to buzz off. He topped that off by signing a 2nd military c...

Our daughter Astronaut Emebet bint Mehabaw is not alone in the neighborhood of Ethiopian born women scientists. She is the company of other certified and deified daughters of that gem of the colored called Ethiopia. Peerless geniuses such as: Betelhem bint Dessie, Abeba bint Birhane, Rediet bint Abe...

My Dear Brothers and Sisters of Ethiopian Heritage! After more than 3.2 million years our great, great, infinitive great grandma Lucy has come back. This time she will not spend too much with us on this good earth. It took her so long because she has been very busy tending to her more than 8.2 billi...

After all these days since the inauguration of the dam, I'm still busting the move after dusting up one of my old vinyl collections going back to the very early 1970's . Lyn Collins and James? Hit it!!!! We can do better by ourselves So from now on we gonna use What we got to get what we want So you...

Then after watching Brothers Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Diir-dhabe(Dire Dawa)'s own Ismaïl Omar Guelleh at the inauguration, I could not help it but to get down and bust the move to the ages old time Somali traditional that goes: Harimade Ana Haban; Ana Haban; Galada Same Nagaadhsi!!! Harimade Ana Ha...

One of the most moving scenes during the inauguration of the dam was when The President of Somalia Brother Hassan Sheikh Mohamud joining other honorary guests in starting one of the turbines. His speech was a masterpiece and to the point telling all parties not to pursue a zero sum approach. I said ...

In the middle of all the joy I am basking in about the completion and inauguration of the dam. I couldn't help it but feel saddened by the absence of officials representing another kin and kit neighbors. Djibouti was there with its president. Somalia, Kenya and South Sudan were all there with their ...

I want to wish all my countrymen/women a Happy Ethiopian New Year. Let's all also have in our thoughts and prayers all those who perished on this day by a heinous and dastardly acts of demonic terrorists in which we also had lost three members of our own Diaspora. They were: 1) Dr. Yeneneh Betru - A...

For me, the inauguration of this dam is doubly satisfying. When I was a student in the 1960’s in the Middle East, Nasser must have gotten the wind drifting from Addis that the late Emperor was having his engineers and a foreign company taking surveys for a possibility of a dam on the Nile at the cur...

On this grand occasion I would like to honor the past leaders of Ethiopia who did their part to make this dam a reality. That includes the late Emperor Haile Selassie who originated the idea and had the first survey conducted in the area where the dam sits now, the late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi w...

To All of You My Dear Ethiopians Wherever You Are! The Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is Here!!!! I congratulate you on this monumental achievement. It is all yours you built with the last red cent in your pockets including with your Allah gave you lives. I am sure you will make a good use of every...

I wish we all refrain from politicizing or misuse this historic feat by our gallant fathers in which they stood tall and spat in the face of murderous fascists. Every regime that followed the late Emperor has used the anniversary to present itself just as one of those heroes especially when things s...

This week there was a very story about the deaths of close 200 young men and women from the old country trying to cross the dangerous sea from Djibouti to Yemen. I commend media outlets including those among our Diaspora for reporting this avoidable and heartbreaking tragedy. This will not be the en...

Last Friday on February 28, 2025 Wedi Afo and his Egyptian benefactor met in Piccola Roma and came up with an achievable work plan to kick the daylight off who they both hate with a passion called Ethiopia. Just look at the photo of them during the meeting. Does the photo show a meeting of two Afric...

You folks are not listening to what I have been telling you since 1975. I told you the TPLF was founded for specific reasons meant for specific race, not the noble and upright people of Tigray. It was created to liberate a unique Gold race. It is not ‘golden’ race. You better watch your language. ‘G...

The encirclement is complete. The mighty Egyptian army has just captured the entire southern half of Ethiopia and its jackass beasts of burden from Piccola Roma have captured the northern half of the country. Ethiopia, you are done, toast and good bye. What language you don’t understand? You’re kapu...

They even sent him fattened cattle, honey and milk to make him think they were still like his Neanderthals ancestors who were incapable of distinguishing friends from enemies. By now the Baratieri’s ego was so built up and emboldened by the news of potential desertion at the outset of war ordered th...

That story and the day I am sharing with you is that glorious day etched in stone never to be concealed nor left forgotten. It is that day that sends megawatt volts of pride all over my high mileage body every time I think or read about it. It is that glorious day, that day my and your grandparents ...
