Workneh Gebeyhu |
by Getahune Bekele, South Africa
Since he ordered kids following their parents to anti-government rallies
to be shot and killed, millions in Ethiopia regard him as a very insane
man endowed with evil powers to maim and murder the innocent and the
defenseless.
Just
looking in to his merciless gaze with blank cruelty of a cannibalized
warlord sends shivers down the spine of his enemies. Since his master
Meles Zenawi died Federal police boss Workneh Gebeyhu has been in sullen
and vituperous mood; raging against any opposition to the TPLF.
The
most feared and hated man in Ethiopia, never seen smiling or talking
without angrily raising his fist and punching the air, TPLF warlords see
him as an ideal replacement for the self-exiled gun and sex crimes
maestro, Bisrat Amare of Columbus Ohio in the US.
The iron lady of
murky Tigre politics, former first lady Azeb Mesfin still adores
Workneh for his ability to defend the TPLF hierarchy and for the role he
played in protecting her late husband Meles Zenawi for more than two
decades.
He is dangerous, extremely unpredictable and erratic with tremendous charisma to terrorize the people.
Besides
the federal police, Workneh commanders various mobile death squads
including the all-Tigre elite Trojan horses known as the Agazit; and it
were the Agazit from their head quarters at Bella military referral
hospital who invaded the streets of Addis Ababa and murdered hundreds of
protesters in 2005.
Ethiopians will never forget their young martyrs |
According to an eye witness account
obtained by the Horn Times, Dr Brihanu Metaferia, a well known
gynecologist and head of the military hospital in 2005 who defected to
the US in 2008, provided temporary accommodation for TPLF inner circles
in the hospital’s compound from where they launched a genocidal
offensive against unarmed civilians.
Even
Kids and teens were not spared during the massacre and more than 30 of
them were identified days later at various government mortuaries in
Addis Ababa.
Commander Workneh Gebeyhu, the man who allegedly gave the order for the senseless carnage to be carried out, is yet to admit or deny the charges labeled against him by the opposition and grieving parents.
The Horn Times has obtained names of the young men who were brutally murdered during the TPLF’s violent crackdown…
