   One hodam/traitor less, he should have known when he served his master – major killer and looter Meles Zenawi. But the matter should be investigated properly because woyanes kill also their “servants” so as to create enemity among the various tribes. If all are united, woyane/Meles reign of terror will be shortenend so he plays what is called divide and rule/kill/loot.
