Vicki Huddlestone and another former US diplomat in Addis wrote this today on the NY Times. This is one of the most bizzare and outwardly dim-witted comment I have ever read from former US diplomata.
Third Para:
Sadly, Congress is poised to fuel the march toward war by passing a bill that threatens to cut off technical assistance to Ethiopia, one of our closest allies, if it does not, among other things, release political prisoners, ensure that the judiciary operates independently and permit the news media to operate freely. Ethiopia has already freed opposition leaders, reformed parliamentary rules to give opposition parties greater legislative responsibility and approved a new media law that meets international standards.
Are the writers implying cutting off assistance to Ethiopia could cause the border war? Or Is there something the Times editors erroneously left out which would have made this piece more rational than it appears to be?
Fourth Para:
A far better approach would be to buttress Ethiopia against threats to its survival — by helping it resolve its border conflict and ensuring that it reopens negotiations with insurgents and traditional leaders and permits international investigation of reported military abuses (including allegations of rape and murder). Ethiopia has begun this process by allowing the United Nations and humanitarian aid agencies to assist civilians in the Ogaden.
A far better approach to what? To ensuring the respect of human rights? How incoherent, fallacious and pure non sense this article is is quite flabbergasting.

Dear ER and readers in this column:
If this news wounder any one, he/she must be some one who does not know what America and EPRDF mean, period. Just do not make mistakes all the time. America gives top priority to what it feels is good for itself. Only when it realizes that woyane has left a week or two just to die, it will immedately stand to the side of the winer, period.
Importnat comment:
Do you really need to remove woyane????? If your answer is yes, there is one and only one option to do so. Armed struggle!! The rest option is just fun whether you like it or not.
The hillarius trio Vicki, Jendai Frazer and Melles Zenawi speak in one tounge. The Saudi billioner's money is talking. Unless we do something about the Saudi billionier, we are doomed to fail. Are US diplomats corrupt enough to compromise US interest in Africa? Ethio-Americans must declare an all out war on investigating the conflict of interest of people working at the African desk at the State Department. There is a lot of corruption rumer going on out there.
Vickii and Nagy must be well paid though the arguments they give is not impressive at any level. If I were the payer I could have asked my money back for the poor performance. their comment will be registered for their next political life esp if Bush- pro war government is replaced with Anti-war government.
The US Congress must intervene to investigate the corruption rumer that could compromise US interest in Africa. People like the former US Ambassador to Ethiopia, was employed by the Saudi billionier tycoon in Ethiopia and is now advocating for the criminal regime in Ethiopia. Congressman Waxman (D-California) should consider the case before US interest is highly compromised.
It is clear that Vicki is colluding with the very same people who are destroying the Horn of Africa: the warlords of Tplf and Somalia, but more importantly she is sabotaging U.S. long-term interest in the region. For reasons none of us can understand, she is willing to sacrifice an entire region and population in order to keep the criminals of Addis in power. Moreover, Vicki’s talk of fighting terrorism by propping up a terrorist regime in Ethiopia is akin to forging an alliance with narcotraffickers to get rid of drugs.
Vicki Huddleston is the most ignorant, dishonest and perhaps corrupt official who has ever served the US diplomatic core. As someone indicated above while Ambassador in Ethiopia she was vacationing with the terrorist sponsor of Ethiopia, Al Amoudi himself. I guess the one working for the Sheikh was a messenger to the Vicki and the other third rate official - it is simply incomprehensible a US diplomat standing in defence of tyranny and aginst everything the US stands for - I am not sure what your relation is with the Sheikh but sooner or later it will catch with you - we will leave no stone unturned to shade light on your shady behaviour.
It is not the first time that the Sheikh Al Amoudi's money was suspected in sponsoring Al Quaeida / Terrorists as reported by by "USA Today" - contrary to the propaganda of fear mongering that Vicki Huddleston is attempting to spread she is the one being sponsored by those affiliated with Terrorists and now sponsoring apologists for a dictator - this is called "sleeping with the enemy".
Vicky,
I want my money back NOW!. I did not know you are so bad, incoherent and very very...very unconvincing.
Wallahi! I want my money back.
Sheikh Al Amoudi
Vicki is the same lady who told Dr. Berhanu to give up his mayorship to the fake kinijit she created at the American Embassy loooooooool her stupidity is boundless.
What is the problem with you guys? WHat is democracy to you? Does everyone who disagrees with you in a payrol of some enemy? It is obsurd to say the least. You guys need to wake up? Please let's not have Elias Kifle's kind of poor judgment. Everyone who disagrees with us is not our enemy!!!!!! If you continue to have this mentality, I am sure you will be disappointed.
Cheers
Fellow Ethiopians, we are going against the well-financed and organized mafias who will go to any length to undermine Ethiopia. Our respond has been simply protest not an elaborately organized counter to the tyrant supported as some mentioned by the unlimited petrol-dollar of the Saudi tycoon and the irrational state department counter terrorism policy.
Ethiopian media have to reach out for a better partner in the international media family for support to get to the bottom of who is who in the politics of Ethiopia and where who provide the resources to keep the brut government in power and why?
For example the 49 million dollar donation of the Saudi tycoon for Clinton foundation should have been investigated and the foundation should have been warned to the dirty money it is receiving and concerned media should have been notified to investigate.
The Colombian professor Sack cozy relationship with the tyrant should have been exposed to his peers and concerned alumina and media. It almost always involve with benefit to him in the millennium development goal and the earth institute he is running
The Vicki Huddleston and the like are greased by donation or hired as a consultant to say what they are saying and should be challenged. She belongs to the Brooking institute along others and donation by the tycoon or the Woyane outfit can be found under the freedom of information act to her activities and notify the concerned media and institution.
Many things can be done to stop the bleeding of Ethiopia to death. People need to organize and search for information on theses individuals and make aware of the world.
The struggle can be waged in many fronts and every individual can do his part
Dear friends,
From the begining Vick's 100% backing to Meles, deprived our people the democratic system they've chossen. It was not only her narow mindededness that we need to fight but also the Bush Adminstration's unwillingness to see the truth and live with it. Vick is doing the Bush Adminstration's dirty job. Ofcourse, the corrruption mentioned above plays its role.
If this is realy from Vicky & Nagy,the State department should be ashamed to realize what level of diploamacy they have been playing.And this would be the reason why the USA Government gave an Elephants ear to the plight of the Ethiopian people.
But this stinks like a Woyanie propogand office manifesto.
Shame on you.
About Vicki Hedlson, #1. we must point out to readers that she has no moral authority on this matter period. #2. she was on the driver seat when hell broke loose in Ethiopia and she is to blame what happened in Somalia (the green light) #3. Her comments are exactly what Zenawi will say and one does not have to read bewteen the lines to know this. It sounded more like a fax copy from Addis. I must say to those who are worried about our future, look to Pakistan and Myanmar/ Burma and see the inevitable death of dictatorship regardless. America can not defeat the will of people but governments.

Hello gays don't worry Viki means Melese they are the same. American diplomats at this time I don't know what happen either they are corrupted or they have a mission to destroy Ethiopia. Look what they are doing Viki, Junedi, Yamamato and so on....All of them are backing Melese the devil person in East Africa. In any way God bless Ethiopia!!!
Lies and HR 2003 "the Ethiopia democracy and accountability act".
As you well know following the passing of the act in the house of the US congress, lies that emanated from the ignorant Woyane Ambassador (Samuel the drug addict) as coached by the mercenary Paul Henze have been rendered useless.
But the lie machine greased with Al Amoudi's money remains potent. For every exposed lie they have to invent a bigger lie that not only repeats the first lie but reinforces it as well. As the lies grew bigger and bigger, Meles and the Woyane Thugs are forced to use more mercenary liars - Vicki Huddleston, Nagy Tibor, Dick Armey and the Piper lobbyists - masquerading as independent commentators.
This is therefore to plead with every anti-woyane Ethiopians to continue exposing these and other pigs for what they are - mercenary Pigs!
Vicki Huddleston has so much Ethiopian blood in her hand. She knows too well that the fall of TPLF will mean exposing her as one tainted with mass murder of innocent Ethiopians for peaceful protest. Vicki is also responsible to many Ethiopian lives to be used as cannon fodder during the liberation of Badme war. Vicki along side Jendayi Frazer who is also awashed with Somalis blood are working with Meles to to wash their hands off the crimes they too part in. The international community should pursue these two monster ladies and bring them to justice.
This web site is getting more and more ignorant.
Aid money at work. The Weyanie uses money donated for aid to the needy and the country's development to pay its lobbyists and hired pens.
These two diplomats are responsible for misleading U.S. policy makers and continue to do so. For them to insinuate religious composition as a reason to support the regime is a subliminal way of sending a different message: the present government's position in suppressing Muslims. All this to justify their mercenary blood money.
