The Meles Zenawi regime, whose public image is one of masked Eritrean agents who used the former rebel group TPLF as their Trojan horse to seizing power in Ethiopia while crowning the secessionist Eritrean province with Ethiopia’s undisputed Red Sea littoral, on Thursday reacted angrily to the US department’s annual report.
Meanwhile, in a document released to Ethiomedia and published on our website today, the Ethiopian opposition Keste Demena confirmed a long-standing fear that the ruling party would resort to illegal activities to pre-determine the outcome of the election in its favor. Keste Demena and All Ethiopian Unity Party released documents showing cadres of the ruling party of Meles Zenawi deployed as non-partisan “election workers.”
What can opposition parties do to save themselves from being pawns in a well-orchestrated drama of Mr Meles Zenawi and his army of hired functionaries? That is the question awaiting an immediate response.
