The T.F.G. remains weak and unpopular, the Europeans are becoming disenchanted with the T.F.G., Uganda is out on a limb, Kenya is out of action, potential contributors to AMISOM are lying back, and the regional and international players are divided on the definition of reconciliation and the advisability of an Ethiopian withdrawal. There are no honest brokers -- every actor is compromised -- and the domestic players will only pursue reconciliation on their respective terms. <A HREF="article-041607.htm"><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Arial;color: #990033'><b> Full Text</b></a></span> <P align=justify> <span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color: #990033'><b>News/Opinion Update, Week of April 18</b></span> <br><A HREF="http://www.garoweonline.com/artman2/publish/Africa_22/Scores_of_Ethiopian_troops_flee_Somalia_to_Yemen_report.shtml" TARGET=_blank><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color: Navy'><b>Garowe: </b> Ethiopian troops flee Somalia to Yemen </a></span> <br><A HREF="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/04/16/MNGB9P99JA1.DTL&feed=rss.news" TARGET=_blank><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color: Navy'><b>Sf Chronicle: </b> Ethiopia's offenses noted, State Dept. </a></span> <br><A HREF="http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/world/20070418-0938-somalia.html" TARGET=_blank><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color: Navy'><b>San Diego Trib: </b> 14 killed and dozens wounded .. </a></span> <hr> <A HREF="KNA-PR_PressReleaseAPRIL15,2007.pdf"><IMG SRC="head-kna-041507.jpeg" WIDTH=428 HEIGHT=196 ALT="KNA PR, APR 16, 2007" border="0"> <span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color: navy'></span></a></b> <hr> <A HREF="tr-fundraising-041607.pdf"><IMG SRC="head-tr-041607.jpg" WIDTH=428 HEIGHT=72 ALT="Toronto Fundrasing, APR 16, 2007" border="0"> <span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color: navy'></span></a></b> <hr> <P align=justify> <span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color: #990033'><b>Ethiopia Trial/Detentions Update April 9 to 11</b></span> <br><A HREF="http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-6544232,00.html" TARGET=_blank><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color: Navy'><b>AP: </b> Ethiopian Government Critics Acquitted </a></span> <br><A HREF="http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-6546690,00.html" TARGET=_blank><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color: navy'><b>AP: </b> Ethiopia Acknowledges Terror Detainees</a></span> <br><A HREF="http://africa.reuters.com/wire/news/usnL09129257.html" TARGET=_blank><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color: navy'><b>Reuters: </b> Treason trial judge frees 25 journalists </a></span> <br><A HREF="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6540627.stm" TARGET=_blank><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color: navy'><b>BBC: </b> Ethiopia admits terror detentions </a></span> <br><A HREF="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6538779.stm" TARGET=_blank><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color: navy'><b>BBC: </b> Ethiopia genocide charges dropped </a></span> <hr> <P align=justify> <b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color: #990033'>Joy amid struggle: Avon scholar survives violence in Ethiopia - Prof Getatchew Haile<br></span> <IMG SRC="images/GHaile-041007.jpeg" WIDTH=150 HEIGHT=150 ALIGN=LEFT ALT="Prof Getachew Haile in Picture April, 2007" border="0"> <span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color: Navy'> A story of renewal and strength By Amy Bowen<br> </b> His co-workers call him an inspiration and a gift.

Today, after over an hour delay, a summary of half the evidence presented by the prosecution was read. All 3 judges were there this time; one was apparently ill (though I couldn't tell which one--maybe the one that sniffled a couple of times?) and so, of course, the trial was postponed until Monday. This time, it was clear that everyone had had enough, and the frustrations of both family members and the defendents was more than evident. My predictions for Monday's session?

All the regulars were there the ferenj (journalists , observers, and diplomats) crowding the front rows, the immediate family members behind to the left, and additional relatives, friends and supporters left to fill in the gaps. As usual, we had time to kill. After the greetings, speculations and words of encouragement were exchanged, casual conversation began to wane and the defendants had still not appeared. I was in no mood to discuss my easter plans with those seated next to me, so I counted the white tiles on the ceiling and fidgeted nervously with the peeling plastic cover of my chair. Finally, shortly after 10 o clock, the defendants were brought in and everyone sprang to their feet, waving and smiling (now skilled in the art of communicating without words.) The prisoners looked well and flashed us triumphant thumbs-up as they filed in. They appeared overjoyed to see one another again, and we silently interpreted this scene as the appropriate prelude to their immediate release. After about 15 minutes everyone was settled in their seats and the judges filed in. Leul.

The trial would once again be adjourned, due to the  complexity of the case , we were told. At first, the date of May 9th was given, which was almost immediately corrected to April 9th. By way of excuse, the judge assured us that they had first intended to resume proceedings on March 30th, but couldn t because it was a holiday. Then he hesitated again, and consulted the other, amidst disproving murmers from the crowd. After a few moments of confusion, he again corrected himself and announced that the trial would definitely resume the following Friday (the 30th). He announced that on this date the court would make their final ruling and then repeated that this would be the  last one . (It is amazing, really. He must have spoken less than 5 sentences--which he had over two weeks to prepare--and he still managed to get it wrong not once, but twice!) There were sighs and tears from family members, and frustration was evident on the faces of all in attendance.
