Ethiopian Ruling Party Confirms Hailemariam as Meles’s Successor
By William Daviso
September 15, 2012 (Bloomberg) — Ethiopia’s ruling party confirmed acting Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn as the successor to the late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi.
Meles, who led Ethiopia for 21 years and who oversaw one of Africa’s fastest-growing economies, died on Aug. 20 from an infection contracted while he was recovering from an undisclosed illness. Hailemariam, Meles’s deputy in the Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front and a former foreign minister, took over in an acting capacity the next day.
“Out of three candidates, Hailemariam has got the unanimous vote of council members and will serve as chairman of EPRDF and Demeke Mekonen will serve as well as deputy chairperson of EPRDF,” Communications Minister Bereket Simon said in the capital, Addis Ababa. “Whoever’s elected as chair and deputy chair of party will automatically be the nominees for the premiership and deputy premiership. So both Mr. Hailemariam and Mr. Demeke will represent the party and be candidates and be presented to parliament for approval when it starts its formal session in early October.”
Ethiopia, the continent’s second-most populous nation, is a key U.S. ally in its battle against al-Qaeda in the region. Ethiopian troops in December invaded Somalia for the second time in four years to join the battle against al-Shabaab, al-Qaeda’s Somalia affiliate.
The federal parliament, which has only one opposition lawmaker out of 547, is expected to swear in Hailemariam on Oct. 8, Bereket said.
At Meles’s funeral on Sept. 2, Hailemariam vowed to continue with his state-led development model that channeled loans, aid, investment and domestic revenue into infrastructure, industry and public services. The result was growth that averaged 10 percent in the past eight years, according to the government.
Human-rights groups criticized the government for cracking down on civil liberties and introducing anti-terrorism laws in 2009 that have been used to jail opposition politicians and journalists.
The EPRDF is a coalition of four parties representing the Amhara people, the Oromo, the Tigray and a collection of southern groups. Meles was leader of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, which led the ouster of a military junta in 1991, while Hailemariam hails from the southern bloc. His deputy is from the Amhara National Democratic Movement.
The EPRDF’s council, which has 45 representatives from each bloc, chose Meles’s successor from the 36-member executive committee of the party. Ethiopia’s next parliamentary elections are scheduled for 2015.



In over 20 years and scores of changes of leadership in the EPRDF, OPDO is not to be found any where. What do the OPDO leaders think of themselves…PIMPS, mercenaries or what?
Mamo,
I wonder by your question. Dont you know that they are made by TPLF for service not power? How you make your serevant your boss? OPDO is mentally dead, belly alive. As far as they get what they eat, they do not care if somebody ride them or sale them. Why thier name is ” ergamtuu, lukee, maxxanee, of-hinbeeknee” like that ? Oromoo people gave them those names after serious observation and scrutinazation.
It is really very shame for the OPDO and the people they claim to represent. I am so eager to hear what they are going to say. I was looking to their website and they only reported about the EPRDF implement evaluation, they never talked about Meles successor.
Poor Oromos! While they are sitting on diffrent tree branches and throwing peanuts at each other lioke monkeys Tigres ruled them for the last 21 long years and now Amharas are slowly but surely replacing the Tigrians dictatorship and enslaving the bickering Oromos again for the second time long in to the future.
So, poor Oromos just keep doing what you have always been doing in order to also keep getting what you have always been getting. SHAME!
The TPLF appointed the Amhara DM,founders of naftegna genocide systems. This would result massa uprisings in Oromia,Afar,Ogaden and Gambella leading the other condoms to like OPDO to abandon the TPLF/EPRD.
Sooner or later the downfall of TPLF is nearer and would be buried like it’s boss.
Shame on OPDO. They can not be give power because they were created in Dara (North Shewa)when EPRD was left with 5 minutes to capture Finfinnee in 1991.
OPDO = Placenta (Dilúu/ye ingidee liji).
Shame on OPDO, you are useless any way.
Haile Mariam Gemmedaa,
The same old empty threats with no practical results. Tyrant Tigrians know you for the last 20 long years and tyranst Amharas know you for the 120 years. You can’t unite and you can’t fight to the end in a planned and sustained manners. Both Tigrians and Amhras know that they are fighting for Oromo resources and thus can unite and stregthen each other even to become more strong and exploit more. Absolutely this is NOT shame only for the OPDO alone but shame for all the Oromo political movements million Oromos. Truth must be told.
Dear Obbo Hailemariuam Gamada,
You are right. It is shame for all the Oromo peopl. What else can vex the Oromo plotical parties and triggers them for unite if not such a deadly shame. In fact we have to gear up for our independence of Oromia. This is proof that the only way for the Oromo is to fight for its independence.
I wonder how some us expect any change from opdo? We didnt give them a power to represent our people. They were created by tplf and they have obligation to treat them nicely. If we dont get united and struggle for our right, the most dangerous dictators from old regime will colonize us again. The naftanyans are still dreaming to bring back the old regime policey. I think after next election their dream may come true, if we sleep like a dead donkey. Look what naftanya did in 2005 election, and imagine where we were. So whats better for us?
You are right obbo Gaaddisaa,
We complain about OPDO, a non-functional group and lifeless cogs created by TPLF on purpose. The majority of Oromos neiter support OPDOs nor the liberation organizations practically. Something is missing in critical thinking capability and courage. Even if Tigres take the personal property of all Oromos, I doubt that we oppose or try to stop them.
As you said, we can easily see how the neftenyas/ Amharas reorganized and mobilized within short period of time in 2005 and reached the point of shaking TPLF power in Finfinne. OLF that had Oromos 360 dergree around Finfinnee couldn’t do that. The pretext for our liberation organizations put forward for long time was/is that the geoploitics of Oromia is not conducive. Neftenyas didn’t put/cite geoplitics as a reason not to challenge TPLF when they shaked Finfinnee in 2005. They think that unless we are endowed with the plateaues like Eritrea or Afganistan they think that we can’t win our enemies.Witth such a mentality that they involve in a liberation struggle- a falacy that has contradictes the basics of liberation struggle.
Gadisa’
You are talking about the next election while they are taking over power as we speak. It does not matter whether we have elected the opdo or did not elect them at all simple because they ruling now as a matter of fact on the ground. It is the same with the ruling Amhara party which we may also say that they wer not elected just like the opdo by their people but selected by the tplf.
The funniest thing is that the Amhara ruling group and the broad Amhara elites consciousely join hands beihind the scene and keep manipulating the all the available widows of opportunities, strongly helping Bereket Simon to be not only Ethiopian spkesman but also powerful king maker by puting Hailemariam as prime minister and his own Amhara guy as deputy prime minister. From there it is much more easy to arrange and directly influnence th egradual and slow over taking of the state power.I mean that it has already started.
At the same time like always Oromos are divided and blaming each other and pointing fingers at opdo instead of being pragmatic and helping even the opdo during this critical moments of transition just similart to all of these cunning naftagna folks invisibily lining up behind Bereket Simon and making coup’etat infront of our own eyes. You cannot do anything, I mean anything in the enext election if you did not help or cause the power tilt towards the Oromo benfit but rather leaving power to greately tilt infavour the Amharas. Oromos should know also the fact that arragements for election starts from now but NOT in 2015.
The largest population in Ethiopia without representative at minister position! OPDO was create to sell Oromo to TPLF; now that thing became obvious. Shame on them! Shame on those individuals keeping the unity of Oromoo in OLF apart! Shame on you Abadulaa, Shame on You Lencho Lata, shame on you Girma Biru, Shame on You general Kemal Gelchu. Learn all of you from your past mistakes and work for Oromo’s Unity now! This the last chance for Oromo to gain their own Land, Oromia. The current situation clearly depicts that Oromo and Oromia has been colonized for more than century, so the decided Oromo don’t deserve leading position. How come under heaven 6% TPLF lead 40% Oromo? Where are we and where have we been? What shall we do? Unite and fight!
U see habesha is not flush, he looking a long plan. Now they are sure 100% as they will handle after that fek ellection. This time pm is not this much necessery for amhara. Their targeted and stand on the next line for holding and buying again this calm oromo after few years. Every body please don’t look to hayilmaram who sat for making cofertable a way of amhara, look to a flush wise man bereket simion woh creat and did for his representative. Opdo u know nothing, and also oromo’s they know nothing about you.
It’s sad when the widely expected event ended with the crowning of Amhara & disposal of OPDO! Addisu Legese held same position for 15+ years & here another stone- head appeared on the top of the post as OPDO is fighting for regional positions! Is it taboo for opdo to ask high Federal posts? Why Girma Biru, Abadula, Junedin,… chose to remain under old rule & regulation of their godfather???? Shame!

Please dont fool your self , there is no such things as 40 million oromos , this people you are counting on had never been oromos , if you are one people what is seperating you from one onother? You had been accusing tplf for coersion, but you dont see that people who ware forced togather to make up oromo are betraying the badly neede unity , therefore you soon realize that the real oromo population might be less than that one of Tigre which you often put it as 6%,
so dont west your time , by trying to oromomise people against their wish ,

Where are OPDO members? No OPDO member have been assigned even to the position of deputy PM. What a shame! This is big insult for the oromo people!
Don’t cry here! We have never expected anything from OPDO and abesha’ as both have been working to eradicate Oromumaa, take this as opportunity and let’s stop blaming one another and unify our strugle as it is evident that Oromos can/should only make trustworthy unity among theire own political parties irrespective of their minor differences. So, please my fellow Oromians let’s take part in Oromo strugle to make sure that our enemies in every walk of life go dispair in dreaming of our beloved Oromia and the great Oromo nations.
Dear Oromo elites and the whole Oromo people,
This is a proof that we should not expect any better from any one other rhan ourthelves: the Oromo people and the oromo parties. I am sure this is a concrete opportunity for us to unify and increase our strugle for freedom more than any time ever.Please let us STOP fight eacxh other and let us come together under one common goal and fight for our freedom even if we have differences.
Please call for urgnet well planned and startegic conference among all the Oromo political paties and figure out the way forward. This way will come and follow the leadership to achieve our objective of freeing Oromo people and Oromia. Start today NOT Later!!!
why are we surprised?
This is not only shame on OPDO, it is also shame on all of us (Oromos).
will we end like native americans or native australians in our own LAND just because of lack of UNITY ?. Do not blame only OPDO, let we also blame our self. If we do not change our self, our future will not change by it self. So our future is again in our hands (freedom or slavery)
You need not to cry here , oromo is nothing it is only the name
“butte waraabeesa” we borana people should not be counted on for that matter, the opdo and even olf had been telling us to fight people while non of them, has any things for us ,
dhuga,
You said it ALL! All the multiplications of parties, movements, medias, web sites, etc. can not chnage this very simple fact you have stated.
“why are we surprised?
This is not only shame on OPDO, it is also shame on all of us (Oromos)….Do not blame only OPDO, let we also blame our self. If we do not change our self, our future will not change by it self. So our future is again in our hands (freedom or slavery)” MANY THANKS FOR SEEING THE CORE OF THE PROBLEM. It is already encouraging to have such peopel who can think correct and normal.
Ilma boorana,
How can they deliver enough help when their hands and legs are/were directly and indirectly chained by the various Abesha cunning foxes dressed in sheep skins and preventing Oromo unities and self empowerments?
Oromo including yourself and myself need to work hard in order to UNCHAIN all of these Oromo parties and movements so that they may be able to freely deliver the HELP NEEDED currently being enjoyed by the various big and small Abesha tyrants.
Those OPDO are useless people, when they were served in Derg’s millitary as officer, they caused death of many solders under thier command and gave up to Wayane. Now they do the some Oromo people.So I am happy these donkeys and pigs not comptant to the position.
Not only opdo olf is the worst. Of all
Thanks God. God is giving us this opportunity to unify Oromos if we have the gut to do it.
Can you imagine how unified are the Amharas? Whether the ones in EPRDF or Ginbot 7 or the ones in OPDO (playing a crucial role for the Amharas even now)whatever you call it… the Amharas are all working in unity. See how Bereket has been manipulating things. Review the confidence of the opposition Amhara groups recently and look at what the Amhara representatives in OPDO are doing.
It is not something simple that will not of any benefit to us that we continuing talking, arguing about it. The Amharas are once again marching to their dream goal.
So, now is the time for action. Dear Oromos, whether you are supporter, a member of any political party or just not involved please let us start to act.
Amma Oromoon qofaa isaati. Nuti yoo kaane malee nu qircachudhaaf deemti jarri.
I believe this is the golden time for tokkumma! Waamichi koo kun Oromoo hundaafidha (dhaaba maqaa Oromoon socho’u hunda)
Amma gara tokko taanee jara kana of irraa geggeessuutti ha duullu. Garaa bal’annee wal ha dhaggeeffannu.
Waaqayyo nu gargaara.
Oromiyaan ni bilisoomti.
Freinds,
its surprsing why this useless oromo diaspora are composing rubbishes here. Why bother with our devt oriented nation, just beg the left overs. The EPRDF has sure given the oromos the right quota they deserve, we didnt see the hell of rights we are lacking that u keep talking about. Meles was a just leader who lifted millions out of poverty & oromos was among the most developed regions in Ethiopia. For sure Mr. Desalegn shall trace the footsteps of the hero. U diaspora guys rather shut up coz its nothing u can bring to Ethiopia and never ever be concerned with its matters as u have abandoned far long.
@Ethiopian Oromo
It is surprising why some useless TPLF thugs like you are cgiving rubish comments in Oromo websites presenting themselves as if they were oromos.The development U are preaching about is a dream. If there is any dev at all it benefited none but Tigres like U.
To obsa
Indeed u are exposing how blank your skull is. You have the behavior of hatred, jealeosy and envy for other people, u selfish moron. U called me Tigre but in fact am not, rather i hav told u a reality and u immediately interpreted it taking that far. Tigre and other Ethiopians are our brothers and all of us (true citizens, not like u) share benefits and burdens, drive a common goal. You and others resembling u in idea are the worst creatures on earth, the racist, tribalists who divided oromos earlier. U are the disease of oromo people and others. U deserve to be exterminated like vermins, u fool. We, true oromos have clean, open heart for all sharing everything and living peacefully. Your fight for freedom does not have destination. Ok! God bless Ethiopia and punish the racists!
@Ethiopian Oromo
When U point one finger to others three fingers point back to you.
All statements that U “vomited” here against me applies three fold to you.
You told us that U are not a Tigre. Whether U are a Tigre or not by birth but U are a Tigre by spirit(practice). U can be one of the morons in OPDO/ANDM who is there to serve your Tigrean masters.
It seems you are happy with the military and economic dominance enjoyed by Woyanes.

Ethiopia Oromo,
Take your minority complex syndrom back to Tigray/Abyssinia. This forum is for the Geda Qubee generation that will, sooner or later, show you and other Habeshas who Oromo is! Don’t mix things. Oromo diaspora is in exile escaping colonizers harsh measures on their own land. The majority of Oromo diaspora has political problem. You are economic immigrant that aspires to invest what you are looting from here back into Oromia under the cover of the name ‘Ethiopia’.
What an idiot lots of people !
You “Gowwa Oromos ” you are always shouting nonsence and tigre though small they are courageouse,brave, and united, and indeed fought and overthrew the dergue alone . Can you dare to do.that? Yes no, then Let us keep sillent.
Dedicated to Qaanqur
You are as bad as your name. Oromia is among the proud humble citizens of Ethiopia. You are nothing but aimless begger falsely claiming to fight freedom. Your motive is clear; to get leftovers in reasonable amount, you are freedom fighter! Really surprising, you had a very crazy dream (one day u ll rule Ethiopia). Forget that the way you forgot sucking your mothers breist while childhood, every nation in Ethio were granted exactly what they deserve. You and other narrow minded fake guys are good for nothing, so throw away foolish thinking, There shall be no day for you, Oromia is among prosperous region of Ethiopia & shall remain the same! May you choke with your leftover meal due to anger!
Ethiopian Oromo,
There is no Ethiopian Oromo after all. Oro is Oromo. Your fathers have been crying and at times bosting during the Dergue regime that there would not be an independent country called Eritrea. Your fathers have been forwarding as, a propaganda an invalid logical assertion that Eritrea is a head in the then Ethiopia map and Ethiopia can’t exist without head (Eritrea). You have been trying day and night to demoralize/stop Eritreans from thinking & struggling about freedom. Therefore, you should get lesson from the Eritreans struggle and your empty propaganda that didn’t work even 30 years ago let alone today. Therefore, don’t waste your time in trying to spread false ideas in our forum which out of Oromos’ current agenda and way of thinking. Oromos are discussing on the missing button in our struggle that is slowing our march to freedom. Not about whether freedom is possible or not. That is proved by Eritrea, South Sudan,.. name them all.
We had known no starvation and draught in our history. It came to Oromia with you. Since you didn’t and don’t have the culture of hard work and systematic ecological management and handling. Can you take a time and imagine what has been happening to our ever green forests in some Oromia places where Habeshas had been resettled by your governements? It has been a total lose. Your people only know cutting and selling the trees, the natural habitation and in fact talking (long tangue like u). Look what had happend to forests in Eastern Wollega (Gidda Ayyaanaa area) that has been cut by Gojames settled there and used to create their own empire by selling Ecalyptus (Baar gamoo) tree and became millioners in Burrayyuu area of Oromia; Oromos could have done that, but they didn’t as they consider trees as their own children. Look at what happend to ever green trees in Illu Abbaa Booraa area, Jimmaa areas, in Finfinnee metro politan areas( Gafarsaa, Holata, Sabbataa, Sulultaa, Dukam, Ejjere), in Gambella, Sidama etc. All these are due to Habeshas. We have the capacity to stop these and we will stop it!!! By stoping you from medling in our internal affair under the guise of the fake Ethiopia.
Dear readers
Some of the comments i read above are indeed baseless:
1. Oromia to be independent country: those having such ideas are totally insane. Such is totally imposible.
2. Oromos to take leadership of Ethiopia: how comes? First you need to have healthy mentality to rule Ethiopia. While selfishness, narrow mindedness, intolerance to ethnic diversity, superiority complex etc. are in your gene, its imposible for u.
Be mature enough in all aspects to attain high level posts. Bye!
Somali,
All of your fake baseless cunning fox Naftagna propaganda shiiit using the good Somali name allias have always been said by all the bygone and ongoing naftagna drooling thieves. We know you too well!
Thank you Mr Somali.Oromos never lead Ethiopia.They lacks confidence,civility,open-mindedness and feel inferiority complex.
To: BB
Oromos are the most backward people in the universe with primitive way of thinking and life, like yourself.
I am 100% sure if oromo is given the leadership today, except oromo no one can survive under their rule and they can’t continue for a day leave alone month.
Please, oromos try to advance civility, education, open-mindedness, unselfishness etc. in the coming 4 centuries (400 yrs) so that you can participate in the leadership of the country thereafter.
The same person who called himself “Ethiopian Oromo” is calling himself “Somali” in the above comments. His/her intention is to try to collide Oromos with one another and intensify divisions by so doing.
Ethiopian Oromo/Somali,
Didn’t I mention in my comment above that you are good at distruction of nature and in insulting (in talking). It was such a mentality that was ruling the Ethiopian empire for over 100 years and left it backward and impoverished (made it tail of the world). You come to Finfinnee/Addis Ababa wearing unprocessed sheep skin/debelo/ and within two to three months you become conscious and throw away your Debelo for good when you get the proper clothing. In the fourth month you start your arrogance that you civilized the rest of the people in that empire. People who wear undried skin talk about civilzation. A paradox. It is shame for Oromo people not only to be ruled by such ignorant and mean people but also to live with them as they took us over 100 years backward.
Still you expect an other 100 years to be ruled by Abesha people
Not 100, even more
