African Union of thieves say Ethiopian election was fair

Horn of Africa--Editorial

The African Union is headquartered in the capital Addis Ababa. It is an organization that has been toothless and a place where most relatives of African leaders are sent to have the luxury of living in the capital. African Union is controlled by Meles Zenawi and his clique. The organization has made little to Africans and does not really have any more power beyond the capital Addis Ababa. It has been used at times for political gains by the west. The argument from some western diplomats that they need to appease Zenawi is insulting to the intelligence of Africans. To begin with the organization does not belong to the prime minister alone. It is just situated in Ethiopia. It belongs to all the fifty four African countries. Furthermore, Addis Ababa has been the headquarter since its inception in 1963. Western countries did not choose to appease Dictator Mengestu Halimaram when he was ruling the country. Why is the location of African Union an issue all of a sudden when this dictator of Ethiopia is ruling at  present time?

Union of African thieves, murderers and rapists (AU) has issued a report today on the May 23 elections in Ethiopia stating that it was free and fair. What else can be expected from these goons? The following is a report by AFP:

ADDIS ABABA (AFP) — African Union observers on Thursday said Ethiopia's parliamentary elections won resoundingly by incumbent Prime Minister Meles Zenawi but disputed by the opposition reflected voters' will.

The 60-member monitoring team said Ethiopians voted in freedom in Sunday's polls whose conduct they also praised.

"It is recognised that 2010 Ethiopia's legislative elections reflected the will of the people," they said in a statement.

"Conditions existed for voters to freely express their will."

However, European Union observers said the elections were unfair and lacked political freedom.

Opposition groups have also rejected poll results and called for fresh elections, arguing that the vote was riddled with fraud.

Meles, who has ruled Ethiopia for almost two decades, dismissed those calls.
