No16 World’s Worst DictatorEthiopia
Age: 53
In power since: 1991
Last year’s rank: 15
A former guerrilla leader, Meles shows no signs of sharing power with anyone. In January, his government passed a law forbidding any NGO that receives more than 10% of its budget from abroad from doing human rights work in Ethiopia. Despite Meles’ excesses, the U.S. considers him an important regional ally and continues to train his military.

Abbay Media Editor’s Note
Dear Wuy
Thank you for the suggestion, it has now been corrected here on Abbay Media, and we also sent an email requesting for Parade Magazine to do the same.
Congratulation to all Weyanes, your boss has made it again. I hope you are proud of his achievement in Killing, torchering, abusing, stealing lying and selling Ethiopian land to other.
Death to Meles and all his supporters.
Meles should rank #1. I have never ever seen such an evil in my life like him, and I hope I will not.
Death to the killers, bandas and murderers.
Long Live Ethiopia and Ethiopians.
dear demis, thank U so much, U group of lazy lairs of useless ppl, and we will still make it again and again, and U will be there to congratulate us. and U will still be presenting lies now and then, zas all U r good at
Melese is not only a dictaor, but also he is very ugly. I do not like to see his face. he looks like an asia monkey.The westren countries like britian and USA are getting advantage from africa’s dictators. 1, the africa’s dictators distabilize afirca as a whole, and they can steal the africa’s diamond , gold and other percious natural resources 2, the africa dictators are stealing the money and hidding in the westren banks like melse has hidden in malazya bank 41m dollars.
Melese is not only dictator, but he is also mercenary bought by historical enemies of Ethiopia to weaken if possible to destroy the country. I don’t think there is any other person who hates and undermine the people he is supposed to rule. If melese is #1 hated dictator in the world, then who else? If Ethiopians get the chance to vote on him, I am sure 99% of the people put him as the worst dictator in the world.
Thank you Demis for your sense of humer. Although I disagree with your suggesting of death to melese’s supporters, I like the way you put it.
Cheers Demis I enjoyed your letter so much.
Hello Every one,
I don’t think meles will like his ranking to such a low as 16th. He is always # 1 by killing, torturing, burning villages…etc. He has all the evil’s quality. What is the difference between him and Mugabe that brought him dowen to16th and Mugabe #1.At list mugabe loves his country, This is master evil that is not liked by one percent Ethiopians.
May God take his life to hell !!
The butcher of Addis should be ranked up high in single digit. I have never seen an ugly Mf like this banda ye banda lij.
We should call him east african vampire who is sucking the blood of poor ethiopians
As we know Ethiopia never been colonized by this “master race “but now their step- son called Weyanes are colonizing and destroying Ethiopia. so we Ethiopians march together and eradicate weyanes from ethiopia once and for all. rember no mercy for this dangerious group
ZENAWI IS THE NUMBER ONE KILLER ALL OVER THE WORLD
Mlass Zenawi’s Dictatoral regime was established in the stoney Jugle DEDEBIT Region, Namely “MARXIST LENINST LEAGUE OF TIGRAY”.
After Sudanese Leader, Innocent Ethiopian Soul needs and waitting Hopefully; Mlass Zenawi will invite to International Crime Court as soon as possible.
I am mad because someone insulted me. some silly person said Meles looks like me. I consider or better yet better looking than your prime minister meles Setanawi. my two cents. At least I protect and defend my species you dummy!
Melese is not only a dictaor, but also he is very ugly. I do not like to see his face. he looks like an asia monkey.The westren countries like britian and USA are getting advantage from africa’s dictators.
Thank you
Asian Monky
I am sure melles is smart monkey and he is 100% better than your Jelada face Donkey king. You know what I mean??ooopss. asian monkey you are lucky.
Yes, I believe Meles has done and will continue todo what he believes right to retain his power. If it will take us 20 or 30 years to realize that it would be our weakness not to figure out how to get him and make him accountable.
I believe Meles is not stronger than anyother leader in Ethiopia before. But what I see is that we don’t have a strong political will to take him down. My suggestion is that we need a strong political will and continue to press on and take sacrificial work. This has to includes the farmers, student, middle class, east to west and North to south and must be well calculated. Firing words here in there can’t make us go any where. U must know the man is a gurrilla fighters and have or may have believe that come the worst he would use the same method he used before ascending to power?
Are we prepared for that or do we have other option?
NO word need to describe him. His supporter “name” and “statements” describe him well.
But, for all supporter of Meles: Do u believe in God? Have u something to fear? Do u care about ur country? Do u have the moral to say so? From what u are made? I guess u are not the creature of God, rather from Diabilos.
mlass zenawi he is baddest dictatas ever seen on this world, we ogaden reigion he killed all our people, with out any reason and also he killed other ethiopian people, and he destroyed the somali nation,he make genocide both ogaden and somalia,he killed more than one milion people in that particular area,so we will not forgert him unless we bring him denhag international crime court like milsovic.and i think he new that we are on the prosses is go in on withing short time, time will tel he is hyna ever seen .
in ogaden region they destroy every thing, no any progress, no education, no healthy,no water supply at all,no farming, the wayane or tigray carnifals they come our to steal our property and build in mekale, they bribe raping and killing none stop day and night so i con,t say there are government, we want to make riveng soon as possible mlass he has stollen all the wealth in that he have there some representatives from small tribe tigray so time will come let them remind that how bad they did.other other part of horn africa time will tell we ogaden we can,t forgert harassment of our people and land.were will he go? useless crocodile.
i wish i could see him, he is is thing mlass =meaning pastard, zenawi = means son of pastard.so what can you acspect him, only bad things from him,because his first creation was a pastard he was born with out mariage of his mother and she throw him to the hospital and even he don.t know his parents, and he alot oaf dipresion all in his life,so he is up normal sycological problems that is why he is behave like hyna or crocodile , mercyless killing inocent people including women, children, elders, inteligent and educated people, because he is primitive leader ,so internatinal criminal court will be invited him soon. time will tell.
we ogaden we are preparing a huge dimonstration in london the G20 submit.we want show them, mlass is crinimal no 1 no morre supprt from europe and amerca, and even asia,so please if you are from ethiopa be there and take part.by hook and crook we want show them how bad he is mlass no right, no dimocraty no freedom at all under mlass regime.we can,t wait any morre .untill we birnig him international court he is killer no 1 on this earth.
Panic is setting in with Woyane cadres all over the world; some of them are going under ground by their bosses’ instruction. Others are dispatched to follow up the Diaspora media to spew their venom to distract and silence us form telling the world who they are.
As we experienced the TPLF/Woyanes from the top down can not be rehabilitated as Ethiopians. The struggle must be waged on those who excuse them; those bribed to serve them, and those benefited from Woyane onslaught.
Theses individuals have double lives in multiple countries with their loots stashed every where to make sure they are safe when Woyane is no more. Identifying, exposing and depriving them their double life is in order. Brave Ethiopians need to focus on those who are the back bone of the Woyane dictator.
Ethiopia for ever
Si-ma-e anta zey-tirebih,
Get back to work. U anti-success and development, group of useless ppl.
We z supporters are those who r spending our time and energy for the betterment of U and U family, whether U believe it or not this is the fact. We are taking care of those ppl U abandon and left in poverty, we know what we r doing and we are proud of our selves. We make history of great things. U just sit and keep this up, U time waters,,, I got things to do..
Ane bitch, congradulation for having 6.2 million people in poverty in Ethiopia. High school in ethiopia is until grade 10 instead of 12 of course except Tigraye. Look your boss is crying of forign currency because we ethiopians are boycotting your organization TPLF.
When the day comes, you will see how beautiful ethiopia will be. Make sure you say goodbye to your family because you will not see them again.
Meles might be the #16 Dictator in the world, however, when it comes to betraying the country he proclaims to represent and by being a sole member of the group, a stand-out of sorts for selling the country whom he claims to lead. Kehadi Woyane Agger Shachoch Hulu!
Hagos Gehdeye, ass hole,
U don’t even know what u r talking about. Have you ever heard of an informed talking? U r a nonsense talkative nothing more nothing less. and
about my family, don’t u even think of that U know what I mean.
by the way u don’t deserve that name, Hagos Gedhey, it is nay tigraway, name, so a coward like u to be named Hagos, how funny.
telba-binchache band muqecha
lol
by the way sorry for disturbing U. I think this is ur place.
I got things to do.
Lets compare Meles to another Ethiopia’s Dictator, Mengistu Haile Mariam. He was the Marxist leader. Derg was responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths by famine, forced resettlements and direct murder. Mengistu permitted thousands of Ethiopian Jews to resettle in Israel.
I don’t know how people compare Meles to other dictators. Other countries in Africa had a lot worse leaders than him!
Thousands of people have died before 1991…I haven’t seen thousands ding while Meles is in power.
I’m not saying he is a hero, or something like that. But we have to consider to some good he has brought to Ethiopia. Thanks to him, Ethiopia is a Democratic country not a Communist country and we have good foreign relation.
We should be civil about the situation and discuss it, but not fight about it.
And please people don’t consider me as his follower…because I don’t follow him and certainly not other rebellious parties!
and one other thing… I have heard so many views and so many accusations, I just need some proof for me to fully understand and make fair judgments.
Thank You
Not that I’m totally impressed, but this is more than I expected for when I stumpled upon a link on Furl telling that the info here is awesome. Thanks.
FANTASTIC!
There is time for everything,Melese ,the king of Wayannes has been lying for the international community ever since he came to power that his government is democratic.Anyhow lies got short legs,he is now trapped
If Melese Zenawi is listed the 16th world tyrant it means that there are 15 w dictators who are worst than Melese Zenawi,I do not believe it.Who are these?Hitler,Muselini,G/Franco,Polpot,Idiamin,Pinocho,Yesayas Afworki,Joseph Stalin,Molosovich,Sadam Hussen,George Bush,who else?
