It is time to look for a new athelets, runners like Meseret are already spoiled eating CHOMA.

we still got a medal, thats not bad

Hamid,

There are many, many people who curse "tribe and tribalism" particularly among the Diasora Ethiopians. What was oris wrong with it? Yes, something is wrong with it as far as colonialists' interests are concerned.

Look, the number one enemy of imperialist European powers who resisted and fought them, during the scramble of Africa, was the organised Tribes of Africa Peoples. The MauMau Kikuyu Tribe's movement in Kenya, the Herero tribe's movement in Namibia, the Nuer Tribe's in the Sudan, to call few of them, had humiliated British and German imperialist powers. The Germans, for example, as a result of their humiiations in the hands of the Herrero and Nama Tribes, eventally conducted war of genocide on them by the superior fireams they possessed.

That is why imperialist powers have given negative connotations to the praiseworthy functions of a "Tribe" in Africa because individuals are trained, educated and organised by their resective elites in their tribes. It is a nursury and primary school for them.

When we come to imperial Ethiopia,it was, too, the Organized tribes of that regions who bitterly fought the armed Neftenyas. Minilik and his forefathers were bitterly humiliated by the Oromo Tribes of Abbichu, Galan and Gullalle several times.

Miniiks Neftenyas were devatated at the hands of the Arsi Oromo Tribe to the extent that the heroic Arsi Oromo were able to capture the king himself. After seven years, the Neftenyas who were armed with European fireams, returned to Arsi; killed them, cruelly and inhumanly amputated them. Thereafer, just like the British imperialists, they came up with the nagative meanings of a "TRIBE", by twisting the original Oromo word "Gosa" to "Gosagna", because they were humiliated not only by the well oganised gosa Oromoo but also by Gosa Walayita, Gosa Kaficho, Gosa Hadiya and Gosa Sidama to hint out some of them.

Believe it or not, all athletes who represent imperialist Ethiopia at international levels are drown from the various group of Gosa Oromoo who are ethnologically framed to each other and constitute the Oromo Ethnic Nation. Their best performances have emanated from the best nursu schooling. Their excellent performance, merits or demerits have no correlation with the rise and collapse of sucessive-repressive Ethiopian regimes. Haile Sellasie regime had risen up and collapsed to death. The sama happened to the Mengistu regime.The Meles regime is fast collapsing. But, Oromo athletes' performance has shown no sign of collapse. It has been rising up and waving the Orthodox flag in every international athletics competition scoring victory after victory.

Accept it or not, one who has no Tribe, has no basis of ethnologically related social identities. He who has no such
interrelated identities,always prone to downwards to vent his anger downstream in cruelty.

we can't use the sterriod drug excuse now, can we? LOL
our girls just did a poor job! but it must be the coaching since ALL girls were doing bad job

Homaa miti. Han ar'a si jala darbee kana boru ni arggattaa abdii hin kutin. Jabaadhu!!!!

it is okay mesi. you will get back up soon

so what is left now? kenensia and burka?

Ethiopian athletics is on the verge of collapse just like the economy and the plitical atmosphere of the country. In fact if Kenenisa had not been there for some reasons, the team would have come without any gold medal. This is nothing but the reflecton of the collapse of the whole system in this tribalist regiome. On the contrary, Kenya has performed excellent in all races including short distances. The same is true in the area of foot ball. The Ethiopian youth cquad lost 0-4 to Uganda, a country which itself is weak in foot ball compared to other western African countries. So, we will continue to be known in the world by the usuall 'famine', 'war', and 'draught'. It is really very sad to Ethiopian people.

maybe meseret start relationship or something (it is a problem will all women atletes)
tirunesh will never be the same since her wedding too

what is wrong meseret and everyone???? this was the biggest stage next to OLYMPICS! come on now!
