Ethiopian Regime Responds to Western Criticism With 'Private' Station16/02/06, The Ethiopian regime led by Meles Zenawi of the ruling TPLF/EPRDF party is under increasing criticism having lost British funding and is a major disappointment for Britain's unpopular leader Tony Blair. Photo: Blair in Ethiopia. He made a similar visit to the Sudan. Blair had banked on the Ethiopian President Meles Zenawi as his example for a "New Africa" which included mostly those African leaders that were either subservient to or responsive to the British leader's plans for Africa. Zenawi has come under increasing pressures after his troops and police have fired on unarmed demonstrators, killing many, and locking up independent journalists, as well as women and children who took part in anti-government protests.

Tinsae Fine Arts & Adei Promotions, owned by Abebe Balcha and colleagues, is currently running a weekly radio program called Chewata on FM 97.1. In the wake of the violence in Ethiopia, which has also affected Ethiopian Airlines according to EAL Public Relations Manager, British aid funds of 20 million Pounds Sterling (about 40 million US dollars) for Ethiopia have already been cancelled.
