PasserBy Posted May 29, 2011 tell me Passerby what are they celebrating? Xaji Borat, The fact that you are comparing Meles and Mengistu is self evident that your judgement is clouded by too much Khat. I will explain to you why millions of Ethiopians celebrated the 20th anniversary of the demise of Derg ENTHUSIASTICALLY when you come down from your Khat induced buzzzzzzzzzzz.

The Zack Posted May 29, 2011 A person from Ethiopia, country that produces and consumes that largest amount of khat in this world, should be the last person to accuse others of chewing the plant. ጫት as they call it in Xabashland also originated from Ethiopia . Qofkii la hadlaba waad qayishaa buu ku odhan asagoo hilib ceydhiin ah ruugayo lol. Khat appears to have originated in Ethiopia.[3] It spread early on to Somalia, Djibouti, Eritrea and the Arabian Peninsula. Today, it is also grown secondarily in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, the Congo, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Zambia and South Africa.[4] Sir Richard Burton suggested that khat was introduced to the Yemen from Ethiopia in the 15th century Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Libaax-Sankataabte Posted May 30, 2011 Nomads, we need to act like adults and stop the insults and other nonsense against one another. Let us not violate the rules of the website. Fadlan debate with civility and respect one another. "you are this and that" kind of personal attacks are the tools of the uncivilized. It is beneath you all. There is not need for personal attacks awooweyaal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faafan Posted June 3, 2011 Obama 52.9% John McCain 45.7% Meles Zenawi 99.6% Imaginary opposition 0.4% Ethiopia loves him, why does he fear his government workers and Tigrays coming to wave banners for him? G8 will drop Meles like a hot potato, begging(for aid) is nothing to be proud off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
