This article is falsification of truth. It is written by opponents, most probably by the dictatorial regime of TPLF, to tarnish the name of CUD. If one looks closely almost all external sources section is referenced to the TPLF media that incarcerated the CUD leaders. It is almost the same as the courts the CUD leaders are being tried. Where TPLF is the Judge, Jury, witness, and prosecutor.

This article has to be properly disputed.

Factual Inaccuracies and Extremely Partisan Content

This article reads like a position paper issued by the EPRDF regime rather than a fair and ballanced article. I nominate this article for deletion and re-writing by a more objective author. It is full of falsehoods and innacuracies. Hailu Sahwel, the Chairman of the CUD, is not and has never claimed the title of Doctor. He goes by the title of Ato (Mr.) or Engineer. The original writer is probably confusing him with another leader of the CUD, Dr. Hailu Araya, who incidentally is a Tigrean and an opponent of the EPRDF.

Deep concerns about this article

I am not an Ethiopian, and am far from expert on Ethiopian politics, but I'm concerned about the tone and direction of this article. There's almost no information about CUD, its structure, its platform or its goals. Instead, there's a set of criticisms that seem designed to demonize CUD as anti-Tigrayan and associate its leader with the deposed Derg government. (The exact language connecting Haily Sahwel to the Derg is repeated on Sahwel's bio page.) It strikes me that this article represents an EPRDF point of view and that an article on CUD would represent the organization more fairly, and would comment on international condemnation of the ongoing trial of 38 CUD organizers. Is there anyone monitoring this article who is in a position to address these concerns about NPOV on this article? Ethanz 21:47, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
