Is "Silence" the US-Ethiopia Policy?
U.S. policy toward Ethiopia reflects Washington’s "Love and Hate" affair of Zenawi. Zenawi engages himself in systematic human right abuses in Ethiopia even though Opposition Political leaders and Human Right activists raise the abuses cited in Ethiopia echoing their frustration to the "Muted" US government. The US relationship to Zenawi regime surprises many observers who have been following and getting excited with the "US Department of State Human Right Annual Report on Ethiopia" for almost two decades.
The US Department of State ’s annual Human Right Report is very well recorded, accurate on a wide-range scope of abuses of their friendly ally Zenawi and his adversarial regime. The reports were undeniably magnificent, if the Government of United States hadn't given "US Humvees" for military training despite abuses are occurring through out Ethiopia using the training that was offered under military cooperation between Zenawi Regime and the US government.
US government have silently watched Meles and his cronies enjoy while the poor people of Ethiopia continues to suffer. There are no jobs, no income, no savings and Many poor people have no roofs over their heads while Zenawi, his thug friends and families live in mansions at the expense of the poor people. The United States of America is refusing to take care of those who are in need of help. The West have consistently ignored all the cry for help even though the Department of States know the plights of the poor very well.

These subsections were not mentioned in the introduction of the Human Right Report on countries but it only mentioned the section why Department of States releasing its Human Right Reports on countries. The Question is ... Why is the US administration a Hypocrite?
The US government has accepted these abuses, and continues to provide military aid to the Meles Regime unconditionally, because Zenawi is protecting U.S. interests in the region.
The US government support for abuses by the Zenawi Regime has not yet received big media attention. The US government doesn’t want to know about the looming fraud in 2005, political assassinations and detentions (eg. Birtukan Midekesa's detention), and intimidation of people who wants to participate in political parties .
The next coming 2010 election itself is being rigged before it is even started, and violence, from the regime side, is being taken as a tool to a new depth or The US government can not inform the Zenawi Regime that Zenawi is already unwilling to conduct free and fair elections. But from the US officials, the only voice that is heard "SILENCE".
The US congress is lobbied to change course from the destructive policy that the US government has been following based on "War on Terrorism" and It remains "Silent" to challenge the dictator's attitude.
