It is great to learn that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has began realizing that its meddling in Ethiopian affairs is not appreciated. This Kingdom should know that Ethiopia was, and remains, a country of UNITY in DIVERSITY whose people have through the millenias lived harmoniously and jelously guarded their independece. They however had and will continue to welcome relationships based on mutual respect and for mutual benfits. Mutual respect for Ethiopians particularly includes non-interferece in their internal affairs. The warning issued by Kingdom of Saud Arabia to its citizens can only emanate from the nature of the Kingdom’s covert undertakings in Ethiopia. The ball is in Saudi Arabia’s court, as nothing but the Kingdom’s abstinance from its covert activities in Ethiopia is likely to remedy the problem.

Let’s not forget that the Saudis recently deported our sisters for having practice their Christianity faith at their own home. They prison them, humiliated them and due international pressure they decided to deport them. I wish my Ethiopia have nothing to do with these immoral Saudi’s who practice nothing but immoral doctrine on daily basis. So Elias Kifle, next time you decide to share some thing with us, at least have the decency to tell us both side of the story. You seem to be good at it hiding the truce. Sometime I cannot tell which side you are on.

This is good for Ethiopia because the Arabs travel to Ethiopia only to abuse young Ethiopian girls for the filthy petro dollars they hold.
Whenever a so called “educated” Arab comes to Ethiopia, he is “educated” only in the most destructive wahabist ideology of Bin Laden and his Talibans.
Ethiopia is better off with the Saudis or the Egyptians away from her shores and affairs.
Several Saudis were recently caught red handed preaching hate and Wahabist dogma in Ethiopia after arriving with some moslem aid agencies.
Ethiopia should expel all Saudi aid agencies, these are the people who will not tolerate Ethiopian christians in Saudi Arabia to read the Bible.
In this case, learn the lessons from Issaias Afeworki of Eritrea.

The rich Saudis who travel to Ethiopia come for two purposes, to buy land on the cheap and for prostitution, in Addis prostitution is big business and Saudi millionaires are big clients, the dirty secret that is not talked about is that many Saudi men used to go to Cairo and Beirut for prostitutions but those cities are not safe anymore, Addis is the prime destination now.

Was the warning given to Mohammed Al Amoudi too?
I hope somebody sue Mohammed Al Amoudi for funding farming projects that result in human rights abuse ,torture and killings of human beings. He should stay out.

Today, the Government of Ethiopia, are creating unsafe environment for all of its citizens, whether they are Muslims or Christians. The Muslims are safe from governmental abuse and the Christians are not safe either. One should remember Waldiba Monastry, and some other monasteries as well. In Ethiopia, in the past, Christians and Muslims have no issues between them. In the past, we lived together peacefully with respect to each other religion. I have travelled to Egypt and Lebanon and I was uncomfortable to notice animosity between the Christians and Muslims. The government of Ethiopia cannot accept peaceful co-existent and therefore instigating trouble so while the people fight among each other, they are left in peace to exploit the country and oppress the people.
