July 12, 2012 — Ethiopian dictator Meles Zenawi is secretly receiving medical treatment in
Brussels this week, after the 57-year-old former gurrella fighter was diagnosed with a severe case of blood cancer.
Adding creditably to reports of his deteriorating health, Meles has rescheduled all public appearances for the last two weeks, including presiding over his rubber-stamp parliament, an unprecedented move.
Meles, who has battled substance abuse his entire adult life, has not been publicly seen in weeks, raising speculation that his health is to blame. Sources say Meles suffers from a number of aliments, including blood cancer, brain tumor, type 2 diabetes and depression.
“I’ve been tipped off by his inner circle that his rapid weight loss and frail appearance of late is due to radical treatment being given to Meles in an attempt to save his life. Belgium doctors have informed him he is terminally ill and likely has 6-12 months to live. To put it bluntly: he’s only buying time,” said a source with ties to elusive Ethiopian National Intelligence and Security Service (ENISS).
It is not clear who would take over Ethiopia if Meles’ health continues to spiral out of control. Sources say TPLF bigwigs are split among two factions: General Samora Yunis and the Head of Government Communications, Bereket Simon. With the head of ENISS backing General Samora Yenus, and rank and file politicians supporting Bereket Simon, conflict almost looks certain.
Reports indicate rebel groups in the country have increased assaults on military position after learning of Meles health deteriorating. One military clash last week between TPDM and EDF inside the Enticho district killed 43 EDF members and wounded dozens more.

The various parts of Zinawi are fallen down like rotten fig seed;however,dead or alive,zinawi will or must stand for a trial.Even if death becoem adamant and takes way,that will not exempt the dead zinawi from going to court for a final court appearance,in whtever shape and form the dead rober might be.Disorders of brain and blood he is suffering from.At this moment,his soul is colose to be dislocated from the rest of his body;it is like zinawi being pulled apart by anxiety and phobia just like two extrem forces like two opposing teams fight hard twin tug or war.

Greetings All:
It is obvious that tyrant MZ is about to die or be in a vegetative state or is to be invalid in a significant way.
In realisation of this misfortune for the ruling mafia, several groupings within the TPLF are gearing up to protect their undeserved vested interests and to reform and maintain the status quo.
But the groups continue to show contempt for Ethiopians at large.
This may lead to a period of a paralysis and a sudden collapse of the mafia(Girma, do not jump in to say the collapse of Ethiopia!).
To prevent this scenario, I would like to propose a totally out of box temporary arrangement:
1. That the TPLF/EPRDF seek sponsors’ support for a period of a hand over to a Carer Taker Administration to an all-inclusive and unifying Council.
I suggest that this Council be formed of Birtukan Midekssa( PM), Seye Abraha( Defence Minster), Brigadier General Kemal Gelchu, (President), Dr Berhanu Nega, (Foreign Minster), Eskinder Nega(minster of info and media).
They would appoint a cabinet composed of stakeholders.
2. The current regime would provide opportunity for reconciliation beginning with the release of all political prisoners. In exchange, the Council would move a motion for amnesty for MZ/family and those who served under him where crimes against humanity were not committed.
In any event, nobody should be accused of any wrong doing until a legitimate courts of law are established.
3. The Council would prepare the ground for a multi-party federal govt.
4. The Council would declare an end of hostility with Eritrea and urge the Isaias Afeworki of the Eritrean Govt to agree to reconciliation, but would not sign any treaty until a legitimate all-inclusive Ethiopian Govt has come into existence.
5. The Council would reform the Electoral Commission…as a way of paving the way for a legitimate process.
Any comments?
Regards
Biri

No matter how many times he reschedules the parliament meetings, he will never sit in front of that parliament again and open his unclean mouth. His time has past. It ia not just that, he may not even appear in public again. He will die like many befor him have died. He had the golden oppurtunity to establish a just, free and equal democratic Ethiopia, he blew it and now God is blowing him appart. End of the game!

Well, it was said that his days are numbered. What else do you expect when Zenawi bulldozed our monasteries and the remains of saints in Waldiba? God has to intervene. God has to prove to us that He is still the creator of the universe.
God has no choice, but to act and hit this midget killer with cancer who invaded his territory of Waldba that is supposed to be off limits to sinners like us. God is calling him to His throne to give him justice. Justice God’s way. And burn killer Zenawi in the lake of fire forever and ever.
Amen!

Meles, may you die soon and go to hell. The woyane junta are all the same. It is not going to make any difference to the Ethiopian people if one fascist replaces another.
