Ethiopian Sport Federation in North America Says Lawsuit is Old

News and the Organization is "Stronger than Ever!"

ESFNA Press Release

February 13, 2016
The Ethiopian Sport Federation in North
America (ESFNA) commented on the
recent outcome of the appeal in the case
against that dates back more than 8 years.
The case brought by one of ESFNAs
former Board Member has been pending
in the California court system since 2007.
In January 2016 the Appellate Court ruled
against ESFNA. The judgment requires
ESFNA to pay the plaintiff, Asfaw Teferi
$100,000. While ESFNA disagrees in the
strongest way possible with the outcome
and ruling of the lower court, it accepts the
judgments.
Mr. Asfaw Teferi of Los Angeles,
California had served in ESFNA as a Board
and Executive Committee (EC) member
as an Internal Auditor and Secretary. Mr.
Teferi sued ESFNA alleging Defamation
of Character. The allegation arose after Mr.
Teferi was removed from his EC position
by a near unanimous vote of the Board
of Directors (Board) at the January 2003
ESFNA annual meeting.
The case against Mr. Teferi and the
other six EC members stemmed from an
allegation and investigation of a coverup of a financial liability in a relation to a
hotel contract in violation of the terms with
the Westin Hotel in Santa Clara, California.
The violation of the contract occurred
in 2001 and ESFNA Board didnt know
about it until October 2002. In the course
of the disclosure, the Board concluded
that Mr. Teferi should have known about
it as an Internal Auditor and Secretary that
covered two offices in the EC. The coverup investigation was reason for four other
EC members to either voluntarily resign or
not seek reelection. Mr. Teferi refused to
voluntarily leave and the Board voted to
remove him from his position.
In 2005, Mr. Teferi tried to return to
ESFNA Board as Los Angeles Stars soccer

club representative. The ESFNA EC and

the Board, citing the circumstance of his
removal from office two years earlier, and
the directives given by the Board barring
such individuals from serving in the Board/
EC, refused to accept him as a Board of
Director. In May 2005, in a teleconference
meeting, the Board amended the January
2003 minute regarding Mr. Teferis
resignation to reflect that the vote entailed
a decision that he cant come back as a
Board Member.
Contrary to the fact that he was removed
from his EC position by a near unanimous
vote of the Board, Mr. Teferi claimed he
resigned willingly in 2003. Based on his
disputed testimony where, among other
things, he cried profusely to convince
the jury that he was shunned by the
Federation and forbidden from attending
the Federations annual tournament; and
star supporting witnesses from his club
and the accused architect of the financial
cover-up, the jury sided with Mr. Teferi.
The Federation has never refused him
permission to attend the annual tournament.
In fact, for the service he rendered, he was
awarded plaques in 2003 and 2008 and
sited in ESFNA publications. Mr. Teferi
has attended several tournaments since
2003 and in some occasions, with free VIP
passes. He was part of the 2012 ESFNA
Alumni game in Dallas.
The general sense of the verdict at the
Federation is that it was a miscarriage
of justice. ESFNA vehemently argued
internal communication amongst its
Executive and Board and member clubs
should be Protected Speech and excluded
from frivolous defamation law suits.
ESFNAs routine communication to one
of its member clubs should NOT have
been cause for defamation. Therefore,
concerned Board Members and friends of
the Federation believed the jurys verdict
needed to be appealed to a higher court.
It was understood that the chances of
reversing a jury verdict was very minimal.
However, the principle of such injustice
demanded it.
ESFNA believes gaps in its bylaws, its
decision making based on fraternity and
the lack of legal guidance contributed to the
outcome of this case. As of 2015, ESFNA
has approved new bylaws that are intended
to address these gaps. In addition, despite

being a nonprofit corporation with limited

financial resource, ESFNA has retained a
law firm to regularly address legal matters
and provide legal guidance to the Board
as our traditional ways dont always work
here in the United States if one or some are
bent to take advantage of.
As ESFNA works tirelessly to bring
Ethiopians together, it is also a very wellknown fact that there are detractors from
many quarters that try to put an end to
our lofty ideals of putting Ethiopians and
Ethiopiawinet first. ESFNA considers this
frivolous assault against it as an assault
against ALL Ethiopians. Ethiopian history
is replete with acts of betrayal attempts to
tear down formidable organizations that
promote our culture, history, and respect
and love for our rich heritage. Truth
crushed to earth always rises up; ESFNA
strongly believes in the right course it took
to protect the organization it is entrusted
with by Ethiopians. History will vindicate
our organization; but ALL Ethiopians need
to be extra vigilant to protect our enduring
institutions and no other civic organization
can claim the decades of service to our
community that ESFNA has provided each
and every year. ESFNA shall continue to
bring our people together in a spirit of
brotherhood and sisterhood year after year
and provide the space for the celebration
of our culture and its preservation for
posterity.
Again, ESFNA reiterates its commitment to
its founding principles: Bringing Ethiopians
Together! This is not the first time ESFNA
had faced seemingly insurmountable

challenge. Please be assured our faith is in

the Ethiopian Community that sustained us
for the last 33 years and the Federation will
live beyond the latest challenge inflicted
on it by another of its own. ESFNA once
again thanks the Ethiopian community for
its continued support and look forward to
seeing you in Toronto, Canada from July
3 - 9, 2016.
ESFNA prides itself in creating a unique
stage where Ethiopians of all backgrounds,
ethnicity, religions and political convictions
can come together to celebrate our long
enduring unique heritage and diversity
that has become our strength through the
millenniums. Our goal and vision over
the past 30 years has been to maintain
ESFNAs annual festivities as the Mecca
where ALL Ethiopians and supporters
can come together once a year to create
our own mini Ethiopia in the land of our
refuge.
Founded in 1984, ESFNA is a non-profit
organization dedicated to promote the
rich Ethiopian culture and heritage as
well as building positive environments
within Ethiopian-American communities
in North America. Its mission is Bringing
Ethiopians Together to network, support
the business community, empower the
young by providing scholarships and
mentoring program, primarily using soccer
tournaments, other sports activities and
cultural events as vehicles. ESFNA, by
virtue of its status is non-political, nonreligious and non-ethnic. We adhered to
this position all along as legally expected
and aligned with our bylaws.

Trudeau's First 100 Days: All The Promises The Prime

Minister Has Kept, And Broken, So Far
CP | By Joan Bryden, The Canadian Pres
servants, while contract negotiations were
ongoing. Bill introduced.

Create a parliamentary oversight
committee on national security operations. A
chairman has been appointed Liberal MP
David McGuinty

but no committee as yet.

Reopen nine Veterans Affairs
offices closed by the previous Conservative
government.

Clarify rules governing political
activities by charitable groups to end alleged
harassment by the Canada Revenue Agency.
The government is winding down the politicalactivity audits of charities that were launched in
2012.

EXPECTED IN THE FEDERAL BUDGET

OTTAWA Promises, promises.

Justin Trudeau made 214 of
them during last falls marathon election
campaign, according to TrudeauMetre.
ca, a non-partisan, citizen-driven website
that tracks if and when the prime minister
delivers on his commitments.

As his Liberal government
prepares to mark its 100th day in power
Friday, the website reckons Trudeau has
so far delivered on 13 promises, started 29
more and broken at least two.

While some of the websites
conclusions are debatable, they underscore
that despite a running start, the government
has made barely a dent in a sweeping
platform that promised transformative
change on multiple fronts: stimulating
the stagnant economy, transforming
government and even overhauling how
governments are chosen.

A number of big promises, such
as a new child care benefit and massive
infrastructure investments, are expected in the
Trudeau governments maiden budget late next
month.

Heres a look at whats been
accomplished or not so far:

PROMISES KEPT

A more open, accessible style
of governance, working with provincial and
municipal leaders and striking a less adversarial
tone.

A cabinet with as many women as
men.

A 20.5 per cent income tax rate
for Canadians earning between $45,282 and
$90,563, down from 22 per cent.

A new 33 per cent tax bracket on
income of more than $200,000.

Restore the mandatory long-form
census.

Unmuzzle scientists.

An arms-length advisory body

to recommend merit-based nominees for the

Senate.

Withdraw Canadian fighter jets
from Syria and Iraq. This week, Trudeau said
the jets will be coming home by Feb. 22 while
the government beefs up humanitarian aid and
military support to train Iraqi ground forces.

Improve access to and reduce
the cost of prescription drugs. The federal
government has joined the provinces in a
cheaper bulk-buying scheme.

PROMISES IN PROGRESS

Launch a national inquiry into
missing and murdered indigenous women. The
government has so far set up a consultation
process to determine how best to conduct the
inquiry.

Establish a pan-Canadian
framework for combating climate change.
Trudeau has met with the premiers and led a
delegation to the UN climate summit in Paris to
signal Canada would no longer be a laggard
on global warming. But the government has
not yet committed to a more ambitious target
for cutting GHG emissions or a plan for
achieving it.
Re-establish public trust in environmental
assessments of resource-based projects. While
it develops new rules, the government has
introduced an interim process including
new environmental hurdles and consultations
with Aboriginal Peoples for projects that are
already under regulatory review, such as the
proposed Energy East pipeline.

Reform the operation of Parliament,
including empowering backbenchers with more
free votes, a weekly prime ministers question
period, more open board of internal economy
meetings and an end to omnibus bills.

Repeal anti-union legislation
passed by the Conservative government. Bill
introduced in Parliament.

Scrap legislation unilaterally
changing the sick leave program for public

A new, tax-free monthly child care
benefit that Liberals say will be more generous
for most parents but reduced or phased out
entirely for high income earners.

The first phase of an additional $60
billion over 10 years in infrastructure spending.
The platform promised an extra $5 billion this
year.

A number of first instalments of
promised multi-year funding: $750 million for
post-secondary student grants; $300 million
for jobs and skills training; $300 million for
business innovation; $250 million for First
Nations education; $325 million for pensions
for injured veterans and other programs and
services for vets.

Scrap income splitting for couples
with children.

Roll back to $5,500 the $10,000
annual limit on tax-free savings account
contributions.

PROMISES BROKEN (or likely to be)

Bring in 25,000 governmentassisted Syrian refugees by the end of last year,
at a cost of $250 million. Logistical hurdles
and security concerns forced the government
to extend the schedule and inflate the price
tag. It is now aiming to bring in 25,000 by the
end of February, only about 15,000 of them
government-assisted refugees, the rest privately
sponsored. It intends to bring in another 10,000
government-assisted refugees by the end of
the year. Estimated cost: $678 million over six
years.

Immediately implement firearmmarking regulations to help police trace guns
used in crime, postponed by the Conservatives
last August. A briefing book prepared for
Trudeau indicated the government had planned
to meet the promise in its first 100 days.

Run deficits of less than $10
billion in each of the first three years of its
mandate, still reducing the debt-to-GDP ratio
each year and balancing the books in the final
year. Trudeau has acknowledged the deficit will
exceed $10 billion this year and that it will be

difficult to balance in the fourth year.

The tax break for middle-income earners
was to be revenue-neutral, paid for by hiking
taxes for the wealthiest one per cent. In fact, it
will cost the federal treasury $1.2 billion a year.

Trudeaus verbal promise to
restore door-to-door home mail delivery. The
Liberals have reverted to the platforms more
cautious wording: stop the Conservative plan to
end door-to-door delivery and launch a review
of Canada Post.

STILL TO COME

Replace Canadas first-past-thepost electoral system by the next election. An
all-party committee is to examine options and
recommend a replacement by mid-2017.

Reform election laws: repeal
controversial elements of the Fair Elections
Act, restore the independence of elections
watchdogs, create an independent commission
to organize leaders debates during campaigns,
limit party spending between elections.

Ban partisan government
advertising;
appoint
an
advertising
commissioner to help ensure government ads
are non-partisan.

Legalize marijuana. Little has
happened beyond rookie Liberal MP and former
Toronto police chief Bill Blair being tapped to
lead the effort.

Overhaul the Access to Information
Act, to make government open by default.

Reduce the small business tax rate
to nine per cent from 11 per cent.

Employment insurance reforms,
including halving the waiting period for
collecting EI, reducing premiums, flexible and
accessible compassionate care benefits, more
flexible parental leave.
` Restore the age of eligibility for old age
security and guaranteed income supplement to
65.

Work with the provinces to
enhance Canada Pension Plan benefits.

Establish a new nation-to-nation
relationship with First Nations, including
implementing all 94 recommendations of the
Truth and Reconciliation commission.

Negotiate with the provinces a
new health accord, with a long-term agreement
on funding that includes an extra $3 billion over
four years for improved home care services.

Amend controversial antiterrorism legislation to, among other things,
ensure legal protests or advocacy cant be
construed as terrorist activities and institute a
sunset clause requiring review of new measures
after three years.

Scrap the planned $44-billion
purchase of 65 F-35 stealth fighter jets, launch
an open and competitive bidding process,
reallocating the savings to the navy.

Samuel Getachew Interviews with the President of

Centennial College

Centennial College President, Ann Buller

Centennial College President,
Ann Buller, is in her third term as
the head of one of Canadas leading
colleges. She shares with me her
time at Centennial, her signature
contributions and reflects on the
long-term vision she has for colleges
in Canada.

You are on your third term
as President. The chair of the
Board of Governors at Centennial
describes you as one that has brought
boundless energy, enthusiasm and
deep commitment to Centennial.
Share with us some of the highlights
of your time at the college.

There are so many highlights it
is hard to choose but here are some of
the most compelling:

-Valuing the diversity of
our local communities and Canadas
vision of a multicultural nation, we
committed to focusing on global
citizenship through the creation of
our Signature Learning Experience
(SLE). The SLE takes the tradition
of applied and creative learning to a
whole new place. Learning outcomes
are embedded across the curriculum,
ensuring that every student regardless
of their field of study grasps the
concepts of global citizenship and
social justice. A mandatory general
education course Global Citizenship:
From Social Analysis to Social Action
and the development of a portfolio
as a graduation requirement, ensure
students have multiple opportunities to
build their competencies. The addition
of Global Citizenship and Equity
Service Learning Experiences in more
recent years means students have an
opportunity to gain leadership skills as
they work with communities around
the world (and on-reserve in Canada)
on community, environmental and
social issues.

Strengthening
our
impact, by committing to our own
employees. Establishing the Centre for
Organizational Learning and Teaching
(COLT) is a personal highlight for
me. Its at the heart of Centennials
commitment of learning through
engagement, and brings to life our
vision of every employee as a learner.

- Investing in new learning
and student spaces. Watching our
community embrace new athletic
facilities, new libraries, and soon, a
whole new campus in Downsview, has
been simply amazing.

- Watching the college embrace

applied research and continue to excel

in this space. Our faculty and staff are
incredibly innovative almost 1,000
have supported 90 businesses over the
years.

- Convocation!
Shaking
the hands (and sometimes hugging)
every graduate who crosses the stage
is without a doubt the highlight of a
career in education.
You are a respected and ambitious
public servant, serving in many
boards and committees, including
as chair of the Association of the
Canadian Community Colleges. During
your term, Canada was selected as
a partner to help India revamp its
educational system. Share with me
that experience and why such an
initiative is important for Canada to
embark on?

The Canadian college system
is respected throughout the world,
primarily because of its sophisticated
approach to meeting labour market
needs by combining theoretical and
applied learning. We are also deeply
engaged in community economic
develop, social inclusion imperatives
and applied research a quite
magical triad because it strengthens
communities, drives innovation and
empowers individuals.

In emerging nations with
high rates of youth unemployment,
there is a temptation to simply put
people to work; that is, to rely on a
highly stratified education system that
ghettoizes by teaching people at the
lower end of the socioeconomic scale
very basic skills. While there may be
short-term gains from this approach
(labour is cheap, but people are earning
something) it limits individual and, I
would argue, national potential.

It is my personal belief
that countries, and for that matter,
organizations, should be judged on
how they treat their most vulnerable
citizens. India has incredible potential,
and if sharing the learning and values
of Canadian colleges can assist them
in reaching their social and economic
inclusion goals, then I think we have
a moral imperative to engage. Working
on this project also gave me a bully
pulpit, allowing me a chance to speak
to womens issues.
One of the recent signature initiatives
you brought to Centennial is to
have students gain an international

perspective by travelling abroad. Why

do you think that is important?

I believe passionately that
learning should be visceral, imaginative,
exciting, liberating and empowering.
I am not a scholar whose work has
focused on internationalization, but
rather the leader of an institution who
wishes to ensure that the benefits are
real, that they accrue to both students
and employees.

My
bias
is
clear:
internationalization should not be a
financial gambit, a feeble attempt to
make tolerance palatable nor a secondrate education cloaked in lowered
expectations, weakened outcomes
and resembling tourism for credit.
It should be comprehensive, it should
have teeth, it should have heart, and it
should transform.

When I look at our world, I
see the need for understanding and
for solutions to pressing economic
and societal issues. When I look at
the communities we serve locally, I
see capacity, ingenuity and ability.
Centennials job is to ensure that our
graduates are prepared to do meaningful
work and to have meaningful lives.
We cannot do that in isolation, and we
cannot do it without giving students
significant opportunities to engage,
locally and internationally.

Our award-winning approach
to
internationalizing
Centennial
includes a mandatory course entitled
Global Citizenship: From Social
Analysis to Social Action, a
portfolio requirement for graduation,
opportunities to travel for language
and cultural training, internships, coop work terms, on-reserve work within
Canada, and volunteer experiences
through our Global Citizenship and
Equity Service Learning Experiences.
This kind of learning is life changing.
And the impact will be felt in Toronto,
and around the world.
Upon taking the Presidency in 2004,
you were described as the youngest
woman to lead such a respected
college in Canada. Looking back on
the last decade, is it still rare to have a
woman lead such a higher institution?

There are currently seven women

leading colleges in Ontario and I feel
privileged to be in their company. We
serve thanks to the trailblazers who
came before us, and to our Boards
of Governors who hire for talent,
perspective, experience and leadership
skills. While the number of women
in presidential roles is an important
measure, we can also gauge the impact
women have on our system when we
look at those in the vice-presidential
and decanal roles. There are fantastic
leaders on their way to the presidency!
Since Boards usually hire presidents, it
is important to consider the diversity on
these governing bodies. Seven of our
14 external governors at Centennial are
women, a participation rate I expect
would be fairly consistent within our
sector.

Catalyst Canada released a
study of high-potential women in
2014. It showed some startling facts:
Women in our study made $8,167 less
than men in similar jobs, they were far
likelier (72%) than men (58%) to begin
their careers in entry-level positions.
Only 19% of the Canadian women
we studied who chose to enter the
corporate world received international
assignments, compared with 29%

of
men.
(WomenofInfluence.ca,
November 24, 2014)

We still have a way to go.
The college is now a very attractive
destination for many international
students. In fact, the college is
educating
approximately
5,000
international students a year. What
is making these students choose
Centennial?

Simply put, our approach
to global citizenship resonates with
students from around the world.
Centennial has taken our role as a
mechanism for peace and prosperity to
unprecedented heights. Our approach
to internationalization means that
we combine the best of a college
education with the competencies, skills
and attitudes that lead to exceptional
educational
and
employment
opportunities.

We are one of the few
postsecondary institutions in Canada
to have a Statement of Diversity
and a Statement of Respect. These
documents represent the commitment
our community has to inclusivity and
equity. No matter where you come
from, you are welcome here.
International students are also drawn to
our unique Distinction in Leadership
certificate, a second credential offered
to students who engage in curricular
and experiential learning focused on
creating the next generation of leaders.
And, like their Canadian university
graduate counterparts, international
students love the post-graduate options
offered at Centennial. These programs
build on their university education and
offer a fast track to a career.
What are some of the long-term vision
of Centennial?

- Making our new Aerospace
Campus at Downsview Park a catalyst
for strengthening the local community,
and driving social and economic
inclusion imperatives. The vision
for this site combines two leading
aspects of our work - sophisticated
technological learning, and pathways
to allow more students access to
postsecondary learning.

- Building innovative academic
and industry partnerships in support
of experiential learning and student/
graduate mobility.

- Increasing the opportunities
for students and staff to have lifechanging international experiences.

- Using technology to enhance
access to high quality education and
furthering the experiential components
of learning, while staying true to our
belief that education is strengthened
by inter-personal interactions and
engagement
Where do you see yourself in the next
decade?
This is by far the most difficult question
of all! The short answer is, I want to
be doing work that I love, with people
who are passionate and committed, for
an organization that makes a difference.

The Ontario PCs Are Shaping Up Cressy And Bassett Are Worthy
To Be A One-Man Show
Additions To The Order Of Ontario
Samuel Getachew
Samuel Getachew

I attended a media roundtable
on black Canadians with Ontario
Progressive
Conservative
leader
Patrick Brown at Queen's Park.

Brown is a hardworking and
ambitious leader, yet he is also one
of the reasons why I abandoned my
membership of his party when he was
elected. I admired and wanted Christine
Elliott to win. Brown is a self-described
"pragmatic Conservative" who wants
to advocate for ideas not based on
partisan nature, but because, according
to him, "it makes sense for Ontario."

As an MP in Ottawa, he
supported a private member's bill that
attempted to restrict a women's right
to choose. A decade ago, as a newly
elected MP, he voted against same-sex
marriage. In the decade he has been
an MP in Ottawa, he has not moved
past his backbench status, freeing him
to build a coalition for an eventual
leadership run.

Before he became an MP,
defeating the promising career of
Liberal Cabinet Minister Aileen
Carroll in the process, he was known
for criticizing, his then-leader of the
Progressive Conservative Party of
Canada, Joe Clark, openly and rudely.

Since
taking
the
reign
of the party that is "increasingly
marginalized" as described by the
Toronto Star's Martin Regg Cohn,
Brown has reached out to uncharted
territory to make himself and his party
relevant and mainstream.

"How did this obscure
backbench MP with little experience
outside of politics become leader and
a potential premier of Ontario? Hard
work, blind ambition and by perfecting
the art of retail politics."

Like Jean Chrtien, who
successfully hid Tom Wappel from
view, Brown has even managed to
mute the controversial voices of MPP's
such as Monte McNaughton and
Randy Hillier, who often troubled the
party and its former leader Tim Hudak
in the past. He seems to have learned
from the School of Jason Kenney in
reaching out and making an appearance
at cultural community events regularly.

The meeting, sandwiched
back-to-back along with that of the
South Korean and Tamil communities,
gave him the opportunity to open
up on his own biography, his time
in Ottawa and how he wants to play
politics differently. He admitted racism
existed in society, that carding was still
an issue, reflected on the Caribbean
Festival (particularly its name-change

controversy) and used the words of

Bono and Bob Marley to charm his
audience.

A quick glance at the walls
of the meeting space and one cannot
help but be overwhelmed by the many
pictures he has of himself. There is
him in India with Prime Minister Shri
Narendra Modi, him running in the
New York Marathon, him at a cultural
event, him with former MP Tim Uppal.

One cannot help but wonder
whatever happened to paying tribute
to the party's most successful leaders
-- Mike Harris, Leslie Frost, Bill
Davis, John Robarts. Then there's the
yearbook-like picture of his caucus
members prominently placed in the
middle of the room, with no traces of
diversity, offering us a reminder of why
his party continues to be irrelevant.

He sounds immature when
he refuses to answer a question on
the legacy of Mike Harris -- "I was in
grade school when he was premier."

The career politician looked
nervous when talking policy, yet, like
the child-like character of Macaulay
Culkin in Home Alone, he was full of
energy and excitement when discussing
himself. He is known to overly selfpromote himself rather than the cause
or the team.

So, how did this obscure
backbench MP with little experience
outside of politics become leader and a
potential premier of Ontario?

It came via hard work, blind
ambition and by perfecting the art of
retail politics. In the leadership contest
he was not supposed to win, he beat the
much-admired and respected Christine
Elliott -- winning 83 ridings out of
a possible 107. That is 62 per cent
compared to her 38 per cent -- pushing
her out of electoral politics.

He is set to host a Black History
Month reception at Queen's Park this
month, going after a loyal Liberal
population that no longer associates
the party with Lincoln Alexander.

Among the invited and
confirmed guests are a noted rightwing Liberal Toronto city councillor,
Michael Thompson; one-time celebrity
boxer, Spider Jones; and the leadership
of the Ontario Black History Society
and the Black Business & Professional
Association.

No one can predict the future
of the once-proud political party, but
what is obvious is that it is shaping up
to be a one-man political show, built
only on Brown's charm and personality.

Gordon Cressy and Isabel Bassett
will officially become members of the
Order of Ontario. They are both worthy
candidates for Ontario's most distinguished
honour.

I nominated Cressy because of
his commitment to social justice, defence
of minority rights and his idealism in
helping the needy here at home and abroad.
I became a fan of Bassett when she was a
noted progressive cabinet minister in Mike
Harris's ultra-Conservative government.
I admired her commitment to public
institutions such as TV Ontario.

My nomination of Cressy had
the endorsement of esteemed Canadians,
including Stephen Lewis; former President
of Ryerson University Sheldon Levy;
Meric S. Gertler and Anne Sado, the
presidents of the University of Toronto and
George Brown College, respectively; and
institutions such as the YMCA of Trinidad
& Tobago and The Learning Partnership.

In endorsing my nomination,
Canada's respected and admired citizen
Stephen Lewis reflected how, "that in the
span of but 50 years, how one person could
bring financial integrity to three celebrated
postsecondary
institutions,
could
orchestrate the ascension of the United
Way to extraordinarily financial heights,
could physically move with his wife to
Trinidad and Tobago, there to establish
an entirely new YMCA in a an entirely
new culture, could immerse himself, with
compelling success, in issues involving
children and families (including the Nelson
Mandela Children's Fund); could manage
to orchestrate collaborative learning and
community initiatives in concert with
multinational corporations: and could even
find time for a brief but decisive political
dalliance at municipal level."

For the president of George

Brown, "Gordon Cressy is a man with

a deep social conscience and one that
exercises his convictions, and uses his many
talents, to help so many in our community."
For president Gertler, Cressy is a "visionary
agent of change."

Isabel Bassett has served as an
MPP, an influencial cabinet minister and
chair and CEO of TV Ontario. She was a
noted journalist and national co-chair of the
James Robinson Johnston Chair in Black
Canadian Studies at Dalhousie University
-- among many achievements.

To her contributions to TVO -Steve Paikin wrote a personal testimonial,
celebrating her efforts that "made a huge
contributions to Ontario in several fields
including the media, politics, philanthropy
and championing women's issues." He
further reflected how, "TVO was under
constant threat of having its budget cut, or
being privatized altogether. Yet under Ms.
Bassett's leadership, she successfully made
the case to the Mike Harris government that
TVO should remain in the public's hands,
as a distinctive, non-commercial voice."

In an endorsement letter of my
nomination of Ms. Bassett, former premier
Mike Harris paid tribute to her, describing
how "she has earned herself a place in
Canadian history." Ontario's 22nd premier
added how "she was a tireless promoter of
social justice and equal opportunity for all
Ontarians."

I am glad I forwarded the
nomination of these distinguished Ontarians
as they are a credit to my adopted Canadian
citizenship.

Honouring Canadian Black History Now And Into The Future

By Gary Pieters

(Sharing by Teferi Adem <teferi_adem@hotmail.com>)

that built this nation into a modern and

prosperous 21st Century state beyond its 150th
anniversary celebration in 2017.

This year marks the 20th
anniversary of the official observance of
Black History Month across Canada. The
first official celebrations started in 1996,
following its federal recognition in 1995.

In the United States this is the
40th anniversary of the official recognition
of Black History Month, following federal
recognition in 1976. That is not to say that
Black History was not celebrated earlier in
Canada and the United States. It is noted
that as early as 1926, Carter G. Woodson
started what was then known as Negro
History Week in the United States.

I believe that it is important to
remember and honour Black Canadian
history by people of all diversities. This
is perhaps the only time of the year that
we make a conscious effort to incorporate
into all areas of life the achievements and
contributions of African peoples, from the
building of early Canada to contemporary
Canadian culture.

Through a month of telling our
stories through exhibits, special events,
media specials, cultural performances,
assemblies, posters, art shows, curriculum
focus
and
concerts,
opportunities
for a greater learning mindset on the
contributions we have made are fostered.

Recently, I began thinking of the
ways that public institutions honour Black
History in Canada. Canada Post issues a
special edition stamp each year. This year's
Black History Month Special edition stamp
features the No. 2 Construction Battalion,
a military battalion formed in 1916 during
the First World War that consisted of black
Canadian soldiers who fought in Europe.

I know that the Ontario Heritage
Trust has ensured that historic people
and sites are recognized with plaques,
including Harriet Tubman; Richard
Pierpoint; Thornton and Lucie Blackburn;

Mary Ann Shadd; Dr. Anderson Abbott;

Uncle Tom's Historic Cabin in Dresden,
Ont.; the Banwell Road Black Settlement
in Tecumseh, Ont.; the Queen's Bush
Settlement in Windsor, Ont.; Negro Burial
Ground in Niagara, Ont. and many others.

In Toronto and across Ontario
there are public schools and programs
named in honour of black Canadians
including Toronto's Alvin Curling Public
School, Jean Augustine Girl's Leadership
Academy and the Leonard Brathwaite
Africentric Program. Outside the city exist
the Lincoln Alexander Secondary School
in Mississauga and the Harold Brathwaite
Secondary School in Brampton, among
others.

My sight then turned to the CN
Tower lighting calendar to see if the lighting
of the CN Tower has any dates on which
the tower is lit with colours associated with
Africa and Africans in the diaspora. There
were none. I intervened and received a
positive response to my request from the
CN Tower.

As a result, a historic moment
in Canada was observed on Jan. 31, 2016
when, for the first time ever, the CN Tower
was lit in the colours of Black History
Month -- the red, black and green of
African peoples and the African diaspora.
The illuminating of the CN Tower certainly
had local and international resonance to
the global presence of African peoples in
Canada and the world.

I believe that Black History will
continue into the future as there is still much
more work to do to ensure that all institutions
develop an inclusive mindset that incorporates
the contributions of black Canadians. It is
important that our new generations of Canadians
remember the role of black Canadians in the
past, present and future of events, voices,
accomplishments, activities and contributions

Understanding ethnicity
and politics in Ethiopia

Dr. Berhanu Nega

Posted by: ecadforum February 14, 2016 0 by Teshome Borag

I am writing this article after
listening to the recent magnificent speech
by the Addis Ababa mayor-elect and
PATRIOTIC GInbot 7 party leader Dr.
Berhanu Nega in Silver Spring, Maryland
and reading the recent article by Prof
Messay Kebede.Dr. Berhanu Nega's
Seminar in Washington, D.C.

Eight years have passed since I
met Dr. Berhanu Nega in New York city,
but he is as eloquent in his speech today as
he was back then in 2007. He reminded us

why tens of millions of Ethiopians rose up

to vote for his CUD party during their 2005
national election victory.

Dr. Berhanus speech was historic
and hopeful. [1] Berhanu described TPLF as
a wounded animal but he said removing
this animal will not be an easy task. He
warned Ethiopians not to be bystanders
and instead actively contribute to the cause
of democracy and freedom that is led by
his PATRIOTIC GINBOT 7 organization.
Berhanu showed his statesmanship during

Did you know?

In 1992 and 1993, when Cito Gaston,
the first black manager of the Toronto Blue
Jays, led the team to back-to-back World Series
Championships, he invigorated the pride and
joy of residents of the city. Looking ahead
to the future, in 2016 major league teams in
Toronto such as the Toronto Raptors are helmed
by African peoples with Raptors President
and General Manager Masai Ujiri, and Head
Coach Dwayne Casey being persons of African
descent. Toronto is host to the NBA All-Star
game in 2016.

In 1952, when Wilson Brooks become
Torontos first black public school teacher in
the Toronto Board of Education (now Toronto
District School Board), he shifted mindsets to
the importance of educators reflective of the
diversity of the city. Now over 60 years later,
there are education workers from custodians to
secretaries, from directors to superintendents
of education, from teachers to principals, from
coaches to community support workers who
are Africans in the diaspora leading student
learning.

In 2016, our national poet laureate in
Ottawa, George Elliot Clarke, has historic roots
to the rural Black Loyalist community of Three
Mile Plains in Nova Scotia

Africville in Nova Scotia was a
historic black community in Nova Scotia that
was destroyed by the government in the 1960s
to build a highway. It has now been recognized
as a national park. There are many historic
black settlements in Canada in Buxton, Chatam,
Owen Sound and across the 10 provinces of
Canada.

Historic black settlements and places

of early black settlement existed in Toronto.

A walk along King Street East from the St.
Lawrence Hall to Inglenook School, where
Lucy and Thornton Blackburn were residents,
will demonstrate the early tapestry in the
making of a vibrant and diverse multicultural
city. The same can be said of areas along
Eglinton and Oakwood, Bloor and Bathurst,
College and Spadina, Kensington Market and
other neighbourhoods of Toronto.

In 2011, G98.7FM Radio in Toronto
was founded by black Canadian Fitzroy
Gordon. The radio station on the FM dial helps
to close the gap in the diversity of black voices
and perspectives in the media. Progress is being
made, and there is evidence of more black
Canadians on radio and television anchoring
primetime shows and news that are heard
locally and across Canada through new media
technologies including live streaming.

Caribana, now called Toronto
Carnival, was founded in 1967. Fifty years later,
this cultural festival brings over a million people
to the streets of Toronto to dance, showcase
costumes and reunite with friends and family
during the Emancipation Day weekend which
is observed as the Simcoe Day Civic Holiday in
Toronto.

The success and achievements,
adversities and resilience, optimism and hope,
along with the unbridled futurism of African
peoples illustrate that Black History Month will
serve as a great opportunity to connect with
people, places and things that capture the full
and rich diversity of the African presence in
Canada.

his emotional show of solidarity and sorrow
for the dozens of young Oromos massacred
by TPLF recently. He said we should put
humanity before politics and grieve for the
death of fellow Oromo Ethiopians. Despite
disapproving what he called identity
politics influencing Oromos, Dr. Berhanu
said that the way forward is not ignoring
the legitimate concerns of oppressed
Oromos. Berhanu said we should respect
and recognize ethnic politics & identities
like Oromo. But he said the best long-term
solution for Ethiopia is ultimately land
reforms and embracing democracy, not
tribalism.

The most important point was
that Dr. Berhanu did NOT say Amharas
should join the Oromo protests. He said
all Ethiopians should support their fellow
Ethiopian Oromos against TPLF. After
listening to Dr. Berhanu, I read another
article by Prof. Messay Kebede. I have a
lot of respect for Prof. Messay and his
scholarly contribution to our democratic
struggle. But the professors last articles
urging just Amharas to join Oromos is
wrong and inappropriate. Prof. Messay is
unintentionally using the same divisive
language and tone used by TPLF against
pro-democracy Ethiopians. I urge Prof.
Messay to listen to Dr. Berhanus message.

Prof. Messay is not alone because
some tribal organizations also wrongly
label us Amharas. I wonder are all the
diaspora who have supported CUD/Ginbot
7/UDJ Amharas? What about our leaders
now and then? Are Birtukan Mideksa
and Berhanu Nega Amhara? Are our
diaspora leaders like Obang Metho and
Prof. Alemayehu G. Mariam Amhara just
because they preach unity? Even historical

military leaders for a unitary nation

(ex. Menelik, Gobena, Mekonnen, Abebe
Aregai etc.) are they Amhara?. None
of them are.

I think Prof. Messay should
recognize that when he writes articles on
Ethiopian media/websites, he is speaking
to all Ethiopians, not just Amharas.
If Prof. Messay thinks that all pro-unity
and pro-democracy Ethiopians are only
Amhara, he is very wrong.

I am concerned because most of
the new generation youth inside Ethiopia
are already victims of the TPLF tribal
propaganda that imposed wrong ethnic
labels on our population. The TPLF has
been lying to our people, by saying that
all pro-unity Ethiopians are only Amharas.
We in the diaspora have a responsibility to
reverse this 20 years of lies. We should not
be victims too.

In 1992, TPLF hired OLF
hardliners to destroy the Ethiopian
educational
system.
Meles
Zenawi
personally picked the Oromo extremist
Mr. Ibsa Gutema for Ministry of Education
job in the 1990s. Mr. Ibsa changed all
Ethiopian historical textbooks to make
new generation Oromos, Amharas and
others hate each other. So when we hear
about young Oromos cursing at our proud
history, why are we surprised? When we
hear about young Amharas in Bahir Dar
stadium insult Oromo athletes, why are
we surprised? They are all products of Mr.
Ibsa and TPLF/OPDO/OLF propaganda.
In 1990s, the OLF Education Minister of
Ethiopia Mr. Ibsa Gutema adopted and
imposed the foreign Latin script for Oromo
alphabet instead of the local Geez. So

we must remember who has divided our

country for two decades. After TPLF used
OLF like condom in 1992, ironically Meles
sent Mr. Ibsa on a plane aboard first-class
flight out of Ethiopia, while innocent OLF
foot soldiers were massacred coldblooded.

Then in 2005, when hundreds of
pro-CUD young Ethiopians and women
were massacred by TPLF in Addis Ababa
Streets; these OLF Oromos blamed the
victims as neo-neftegna. In 2005, the
OLF diaspora Oromos said these young
Ethiopian boys and girls shot and killed by
TPLF were the greater of two evils.[2]

So this is proof that, the OLF
diaspora does NOT have the moral authority
to accuse us Ethiopians of not joining the
Oromo protests today.

But more importantly, we should
not downplay the Ethiopian democratic
movement as a mere Amhara only
movement. We should not let TPLF define
us by imposing wrong ethnic tags on our
forehead. We have the right to self-identify
ourselves as Ethiopians.

If some Oromos and others want
to isolate themselves with identity politics,
like Dr. Berhanu said, we may persuade
them otherwise but we must respect their
decision since everyone has a human right
for self-determination. We must recognize
that all of us are Ethiopian natives from
the country we call Ethiopia but inside
Ethiopia, different groups of people have
chosen to identify themselves differently.
For example, below are the 3 biggest
groups inside Ethiopia (which has over
eighty other tribes.)
1. Amhara

Amhara is one of the largest

linguistic groups in Ethiopia. While some

natives living around Gondar/wollo have
used the label Amhara before, it is still
a new ethnic label recently imposed by
TPLF on diverse people from Gondar,
Gojjam, Shewa, Wollo etc. (despite not
sharing common custom) but just because
they speak Amharic. While between 2 to
3 million Amharas were not counted in
the last 2007 census, the fact is millions
more non-Amharas are wrongly labeled
Amhara just because they speak Amharic,
this includes in the urban and assimilated
minorities like the Agew, Qemant etc.
The Amhara label currently exists as
maintained by the TPLFs puppet ANDM
party.
2. Oromo

Oromo is another large ethnic
group. Just like Amhara, the label Oromo
is a recent creation of OLF and TPLF/
OPDO, used to unify a diverse (previously
separate) groups of clans, gibes and regions
based on language. And historians credit
the Oromo custom of Gudifecha used on
neighboring tribes, which exponentially
expanded Oromo language among nonOromos in the south. Just like Amharic
speakers, Oromos also assimilated the
Sidama, Damot and others; while the
Karayu, Guji etc. adopted Afan Oromo to
become Oromo. Now they say they are all
Oromo First. This is their new preference
that we must respect.
3. Ethiopians

Ethiopian (Ethiopiawi) is another
identity inside the country Ethiopia for
millions of multi-ethnic people who are
mixed and for all others who reject the

The Protest in Oromia: The Need for Urgent

Unified Action! The Youth and Women are Victims!

It has been more than three months

now since the protest in the region of
Oromia begun. Its main cause is the
proposed master plan to expand the city
of Addis Ababa. Our fellow brothers
and sisters are protesting against this
master plan because the intention is not
really to expand Addis but to take away
their land, and use it for the needs of the
ruling party. Meanwhile the original
owners of the land would be hired as
guards on the properties built by the
ruling party members or even worse,
they would be begging as they have
no other means of income anymore.
The Oromo people, therefore, chose to
defend their lands by paying with their
dear lives. Over two hundred people
were killed by government soldiers
so far and yet the protest continues.
The young daughters of these farmers
would be forced to quit their education
and involve in prostitution in order to
survive. Therefore, the implication of
land grabbing is not only economical
but also has serious consequences
socially as well. Most of the protesters
were young university students and the
police did not hesitate to shoot and kill
them. This students were meant to be
tomorrows governors of the country
however they did not even have the
right to protest in their own county
against what is wrong.
This is not a new phenomenon as the
ruling party has been displacing Ethiopians
from their lands for the past several
years. For instance, the government has
given numerous foreign businesses and
other investors massive amount of land
in Gambela by forcefully displacing
Ethiopians from their land that served
as their sole source of bread and butter.
This has been documented by a number
of international rights organizations and
media such as the BBC.
The root cause of the problem is the
political system in Ethiopia. This system
does not allow its own people to speak
freely and it is created by some of the
high positioned people who are seeking
power for themselves. In addition, the
government is also purposely working
to create ethnic conflict in Ethiopia by
preaching ethnic politics in order to extend
its power. In this case, the youth is being
forced to immigrate to other places in order
to escape this system. Ethiopia seems to
lose the future generation who would be
responsible for the country. The youth run
away because their voice is being unheard,
they are not getting the right kind of
service and education they deserve from a
democratic government, and because they
are being tortured and prisoned for giving
an opinion against the wrong doing of the
government. This should have been the
time for the government to solve problems
that famine and drought is causing in such
parts of Ethiopia. However, the ruling
party chose to expand Addis and take the

land away from farmers whom are the root

feeders of Ethiopia.

Continued from page 20

TPLF tribal identification. For centuries,
we called ourselves Ethiopian first. When
we call ourselves Ethiopian, it does not
mean we abandon our linguistic diversity.
We embrace all our ancestral identities but
choose to be called Ethiopians.

All these 3 above big identities are
under the country we call Ethiopia.

In my opinion, we lose the battle
against TPLF & OLF the moment we allow
TPLF & OLF to define our identity. This is
why I disagreed with Prof. Messays article
and wording. If we allow woyane to impose
the label Amhara on all of us, we already
lost the battle! For example, Dr. Berhanu
has some Gurage background but he chose
to be Ethiopian first because that is in his
psych, his sociological, political, historical
being and sense of national identity. I
myself have Welayta and Oromo ancestors
but I am Ethiopian first and forever. Dr.
Berhanus ancestors and my ancestors
probably spoke different languages but
Ethiopiawinet has transformed our identity
and made us one people. Both of us share
a common regional culture which is
multicultural, common language which
is multilingualism; and we have a shared
group history with a shared polity and
common homeland. This is what it means
to be Ethiopian ethnicity as opposed to
Oromo, Amhara, Tigray etc. ethnicity.

Last year, I wrote an article saying
that ethnic Ethiopians are the largest
ethnic group in Ethiopia; bigger than
Oromo and bigger than Amhara. Some
people asked me how is that possible?

But I replied back How is it
possible that the CUD won 99% of the
2005 election in Addis Ababa if Amharas
are only 40% of the city population? The

TPLF said CUD is only Amhara. But the

CUD easily won the 2005 election inside
Addis Ababa with 99% of the vote. In fact,
the CUD won the election everywhere
nationwide, including in many parts of
Oromia.
CONCLUSION

Like Dr. Berhanu said, the best
way forward for Ethiopia is via democracy;
while recognizing past injustices and
respecting the various ethnic nationalists
who seek group rights. But we are not
going to become just a collection of or a
united states of 80 tribes. The next step in
our progress is for us to recognize that not
all Ethiopians are hyphenated identities
like Oromo-Ethiopian, Amhara-Ethiopians
etc. because some of us are just simply
Ethiopians! This is the real reason why
ethnic-federalism has failed in Ethiopia.
Ethnic-federalism failed to recognize not
only the millions of mixed Ethiopians but
also the millions of others who simply
prefer to label themselves as Ethiopians
only. So We must recognize that one of the
largest ethnic groups inside our country
are ethnic Ethiopians an identity that
transcends all other identities in Ethiopia,
and an identity formed as a by-product of
the shared history of all. Only then can
we craft a new democratic and practical
federalism system that will be viable on the
ground at the local and federal level.

Alcohol More Harmful for

People With HIV
February 9, 2016 | Filed under: Health,News Feature |

ethiopia-hit-worst-droughtdecades-151112154747151.html

Ethiopian opposition parties have talked

about the government and its deeds for
the past twenty five years while the ruling
party comfortably sat in its chair doing
whatever it wants but no changes have
been seen. Either all genuine opposition
groups or all Ethiopians should unite and
come together in order to bring peace
and the true democracy in our country.
Creating several groups would not be the
solution but would give more time for the
non-democrats to settle well and to get
stronger.
The protest in the region of Oromia
is crying for a freedom and justice.
Opposition parties should support our
brothers and sisters truly and prove what
they preach in practical terms. There is no
better time than now to stand in unity and
say no to injustice and tyranny. There is
simply no other means but to unite under
common goal to make Ethiopia a true
democratic country. The situation in the
country is black and white.
It is a matter of choosing disintegration
and mayhem or unity and peace. Let us
focus on our priority which is making our
country a home of peace and building a
unified, strong and democratic Ethiopia.
All other problems and challenges could
be addressed under a democratic system.
Let us all Ethiopian stand as one because
we are all, ETHIOPIAN.
UNITY IS STRENGTH!

Even moderate drinking linked to

higher risk for death and alcoholrelated health issues

Zehabesha from HealthDay

By Mary Elizabeth Dallas
HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, Feb. 8, 2016 (HealthDay
News) Drinking alcohol may be
more dangerous for people infected
with HIV, a new study suggests.
The effects of alcohol appear to be
more pronounced for those with the
virus that causes AIDS, even when
the virus is suppressed with modern
antiretroviral treatment (ART), the
Yale University researchers reported.
They noted that HIV patients who
have just one or two drinks a day are at
greater risk for death or alcohol-related
health issues.
The study involved patients treated
by the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs between 2008 and 2012. There
were more than 18,000 HIV-positive
patients and over 42,000 people not
infected with the virus. The researchers
investigated the link between drinking
alcohol, death and other health issues

the patients developed.

They found the patients with HIV
who drank even moderate amounts of
alcohol were more likely to develop
alcohol-related health problems and
die than those who were HIV-negative.
This was true even for those with
suppressed HIV, according to the study
published online Feb. 2 in the journal
Drug and Alcohol Dependence.
It demonstrates that even among
people on ART with suppressed
viral load, who are much less sick in
general, there is still an added effect of
alcohol among those individuals than
people without HIV, said researcher
Dr. Amy Justice. She is a professor of
general medicine and of public health
at Yales School of Public Health, in
New Haven, Conn.
It suggests the threshold for safe
alcohol consumption is likely different
for people with HIV, she said in a
university news release.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an art and a science
that takes years to master.

Acupuncture is the gentle insertion of

very fine needles at specific points on the
body. The extreme thinness of the needles
ensures that little or no discomfort will
be experienced during the treatment. This
process stimulates movement of energy
within the body, allowing natural healing to
take place; cures the diseases and restores
the health.

Chinese herbal medicine treats patients

main complaints or the patterns of their
symptoms rather than the underlying
causes. Practitioners attempt to prevent and
treat imbalances, such as those caused by
cancer and other diseases, with complex
combinations of herbs, minerals, and plant
extracts.

Massage therapy refers to the application

of various techniques to the muscular
structure and soft tissues of the body
including applying fixed or movable
pressure, holding, vibration, rocking,
friction, kneading and compression using
primarily the hands, although massage
therapists do use other areas of the body,
e.g. the forearms, elbows or feet.

Moxibustion therapy in conjunction with

acupuncture can be very effective for many
diseases and conditions including back pain,
muscle stiffness, headaches, migraines,
tendonitis, arthritis, digestive disorders,
anxiety, and female health problems such
as menstrual cramps, irregular periods, and
infertility.
