Some of the voices / Comments from the Petition Drive
(Responding for their fellow Ethiopian Refugees)

M Ketema:-- I was in tears when I heard the story how the refugees are currently miss
treated by the local government where they are held as a refugee straight from them on
addis dimts radio on 9/07/08

Asmamaw Mengistie:-- TO whom it may concern... In the UN. Please, please, please
consider Ethiopian refugees as a human being. Being poor is not a crime who knows one
day we Ethiopian might become one of the richest nation in the world. Just give little
attention to refugees all over the world particularly those in prison.

Solomon Kenalew:--Think about what about in a place and position ! it is a matter of time,
if you help all African's refugee of today God will help you. Thank you peace and love for the
world and down for all those africa military dictator's!

Mulugeta Sileshi        Thank for blessed organization UNHCR, saved my Life and another Ethiopian who suffered all over the world

simeneh makonnen        Today many of the Ethiopian refugees suffering everywhere are greater than earlier times where UNHCR really acts almost
promptly. Regardless of the overwhelming refugee situation around the world the weight of African refugees has reached an unacceptable situation.
Therefore, I sincerely urge the Commissioner to look in to this very honest petition. Thank you very much.
alemayehu Jima        Good on you Abebe Belew for such an initiatives and direction. Could we all raise our voices togther for ethiopian refugees all
over the world. This is the least we all can do. come on!!!

Tedla Asfaw        Ethiopians are killed, imprisoned and forcibly cross to another country for safety ,however, only few have found safe heaven in
Europe and North America from the terror of Meles Zenawi the Darfur of Ethiopia. I was delighted when the ICU indicted Beshir of the Sudan for
genocide and we hope our Beshir, Meles Zenawi will have the same fate in order to stop the gross human right violation and killing of our people. In
the mean time peace loving nations should help Ethiopians at this difficult time by providing them basic human needs and teaching the young
refugees that the world care.

Tamrat Admassu        SERI needs to remind UNHCR to pay attention to the details of the conditions of the refugees in the countries stated above. At
least, their whereabouts and status of living standards should be documented. Thus, it might help UNHCR to prioritize the action items if it is
impossible to solve all at once. Abebe---God loves you and your organization as you are trying to reach out the poor that suffer much below human
standard of living.
Gashaw Tejku        It is a very crucial issue we have to do something atleast in this aspect.
BEBYE        I HIGHLY RECOMMANDE YOU TO TAKE ACTION AND RESOLVE THE PEROBLEM.UNDRE THE 1951 GENEVA REFUGEE CONVENTION

Dawit Kebede        Please help hundreds of thousands suffering Ethiopians from this kind of hell. They suffered enough by leaving their beloved
country for the sake of finding peace. Save all Ethiopian refuges as soon as humanly possible. Thanks, Dawit Kebede USA
Berhanu K. Dagnew        Why Ethiopian Refugees are prosecuted every where? I mean in Sudan, Libya, Kenya, Djibuti, MidEast and some other
countries. For me, it seems there is no place to Ethiopians to live peacefully on this planate including Ethiopia. Does the UNHCR really wish to help
Ethiopians? It is sad to see this worst situation. But one day we will get a great help from the AlMighty GOD!

Gemechu Gudeta        It is heartache to see my fellow country men and women are suffering in foriegn land-it's also sad to see the cruelity of human
being, specially the treatment given to Ethiopian nationals- the nation once chosen even by Mohammed the prophet of muslims who urged his
followers to go to Ethiopia the land of righteousness where there is no hartred and discrimination ! MY prayer and thought goes to these suffering
people and urged the UNHCR and other organisation to step in and give proper assistance and protection to end this human crisis. Above all I pray
and cry to the Almighty God to show Ethiopia and Africans His fully mercy !!! Gemechu
Laeke Gebresadik        The plight of Ethiopian refugees is partly to blame Western Governments� lack of recognition of the political crisis in the
country, and the policy mirrored by the international humanitarian organizations such as the UNHCR failing to resettle legitimate political claimants.
Ethiopia's political situation is not different from that of Eritrea. But why are Eritreans getting preferential treatment? The Ethiopian regime that drives
out its own citizens from their home country can not be expected to stand up for Ethiopians suffering in Middle Eastern countries in slavery either?
Aklilu        I am glad to know such acts but the arrogant managment against Refugees being committed in Sudan is I think the missing data from the
above details. Bezeyterefe Ane tehagusealehu.Means I am Glad in Tigryna.
Ketema Demie Wara Badi        Why the whole world is against the people Ethiopia.The refugees, suffering are Ethiopians.The USA, EU and the UN
who appointed the blood thirsty regime are responsible.These orgaganizations and nations are supporting genocide and crimes against humanity in
Ethiopia.
Woldeyes Zemene        The existing regime in Ethiopia is harassing the population of Ethiopia in towns and in villages. If they are not supportive to the
existing Meles regime. So they are oblaged to quite their country for exile. But it is not easy for Ethiopians abroad to aquire political assylum because
of the regime is considered as a partner on fighting terrorism in eastern Africa. The world is turning its back on our peaple and even if they see and
hear sad stories they did not want to react . See for example Zimbabwe the world reacted immediately why in Ethiopia? More peaple had been
arrested and shot dead in 2005 election but passed with silence. This is not fair. We want to see better for Ethiopians
Anonymous        The only solution to the Ethiopian Refugees issue which is a chained result starting from luck of Democratic Government leading to
depression of people by military forces, making people in return unable to work properly in their own country, which leads to Hunger, Poverty,
Diseased population etc. Excuses as of one the many, such as Draught being the reason of so many deaths is just Bull Sheets �so please my opinion
is to hit the nail on the head! So to give the only solution to the Ethiopian Refugees issue is to Make Meles Zenawi and his powerful government
groups Refugees themselves. Bring them to International Court for their Crimes to Ethiopia and Ethiopians!

Brihanu Abate        Since we have been without an Ethiopian gov,for a decade plus years it is wise for all panEthiopians to reach out for one another
be it at home or in the diaspora because it is the only way to contineue our survival as Ethiopians as we are.GOD BLESSE ETHIOPIA.
