Maj. Gen. Yohannes Gebremeskel & his Rugs to Rich Mistress

Behind every Great Fortune in Ethiopia there's TPLF I mean a CRIME

Ladies Gentlemen and others:) Let me introduce you one of Ethiopia's Nouveau riche who make our country as " African Lion" with fastest creation of Millionaires. Her name is Miss Hawa, a few years before she met; became second wife and  gave birth a child to GeneralYohannes Gebremeskel (Head of Mission and Force Commander of the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA); she was just an ordinary Khat (Class C stimulant drug leaves) retailer. According to Ethiopian Satellite Television ESAT's top placed sources within the Somali Regional State Administration of Ethiopia in Jigjiga, Miss Hawa is currently one of the richest people in  Somali region. It is common knowledge that  when top officials of the Ethiopian Defense Forces come to the Region, they engage in a large scale wealth accrual together with the officials of the Regional State. The two lovebirds (i.e General Yohannes and Miss Hawa) met  when he was a Colonel as the Head the Western Gode Zone. Yohnnes had helped Hawa amass over 100 million Birr ( over $ 5 million)   by letting her company subcontract the Canal Cleaning bid that the National Defense Force was made to win. The story doesn't stop there, as the love affair between the General and Hawa grew, she even went to the extent of harassing and threatening the Region’s tax officers and clearing herself from taxation.

Hawa has built two big buildings in Jigjiga with her lover, General Yohannes. In addition to this, she has been allowed to handle other projects in the Region that are worth hundreds of millions. Some of the projects include the Kabri Dehar Water Provision, Degehabur Water Provision, Jigjiga Teachers Training Expansion, Regional Education Bureau Project, Modern Meeting Hall, and other expensive buildings. Although Hawa is at the forefront of managing the wealth, sources say, it is General Yohannes who controls the construction of the region’s projects.

General Yohannes has built a very modern apartment building in Bole Medhanealem area in Addis Abeba.
