Mimi Sibahtu
The former VOA presenter is getting to be one of the most vilified women in Addis. Her arrogant know-it-all attitude reflected in her very boring talk shows are really disgusting people. Her peanut paid reporters spend long minutes on her show trying to convice the audience that she is a rain maker. Ethiopians are adept at tolerating boring and aloof propogandists. They would have just forgotten Mimi as they had so many before her. Mimi, however, is a woman who has blood in her hands. Her newspaper(managed by her husband) openly advocated for the imprisonment of journalists and tried to justify the killing of innocent young men and women. She labeled the whole Kinijit supporters(more than 6 million even according to the statistics of the electoral board) as the sons and daughters of Tadios Tantu and advised for their persecution. So people hate and disdain her and they show that wherever she goes.
on Monday, this close friend of Azeb mesfin was enjoying herself sipping capuccino at one of the over-crowded bars at Arat Kilo. Some young men approached her and spoke of their utter disgust with her. Others nodded. Some shouted insults on her. This shameless creature took it all and replied with the same arrogance as our non-sense talking, illegitimate prime minister. "You have a right to say all this on my show," she said.
"Who the hell cares about your show anyway? We just want to tell you that their will be a time when you will face justice and our grace," a young man replied.
