Dear the people of Dire Dawa,

we all know that your country finds itself in the most brutal regime and in the most ferocious time of its history. For Dire Dawa, to be without water and electricity is unthinkable. Once used to be the green land now turns to be a Meles-made desert. We all stand with and for you, that your beautiful city will soon find itself in its former shape. I used to be a teacher in one of the school in Dire Dawa, and I have an dieable memories. God protect the city from the notorious dictators and scavengerous of Meles's people. At the end, the truth will soon win. History tells us that all the dictators will disappear.

Hi.
My boyfriend is an Ethiopian, from Dire Dawa. We are planning to get married next year. I'm the happiest person in the world. Thank you Ethiopia for giving me such a wonderful person.
Guest 15-Jun-2008 21:14
We Ethiopians could be the example for the rest of the world. It is a country where many different ethnic groups along with different religious followers live together. Even if the Meles and his followers tried to break its hisorical facts, they could not do it. Especially Dire Dawa is a unique example of unity, harmony, respect, multicultural, tolerant and friendliness to outsiders. But as our country is in the fall of the Tirgre occupants, Dire Dawa is deliberately destroyed by the regime of Meles. Dire Dawa once used to be the power house of Ethiopia. Now, Dire Dawa is at the last rank among big cities in Africa. Let, we the boys of this famous city be one, stand side by side and save our city and our country. We are resposible for what is taking place in our country. We cannot shut our eyes and allow this brutal regime do what ever they want in our country. Enough is enough.
Long live Ehiopia.

Hi to all, I work in Djibouti and goes often to Dire Dawa for business purpose.
I feel very nice and calm place here in the region. I feel very nice once I enter there due to its greenary, flowers and trees. The climate is much better and good than Djibouti. The people are very friendly there.
I got chance to eat the KHAT and Bun (coffee) along with some friends there. The Leul Mekonen's palace is a historical place there.

Guest 10-Feb-2008 05:11
I spent a few days in Dire over the summer of 07. Some things have changed, such as the increase in population and the three-wheeled taxis called "Bajaj", but the people are still genuine in their treatment of others. Two things struck me the most. We were staying at a friends house who happens to be muslim. Come evening, half of us were saying our Christian prayers, having been brought up as a Catholic, and half of us were bowing towards Mecca, all in the same room. Next we were all sharing a meal. The second was the warm rain. And yes, I chewed chat to my heart's content.

Dessalegn Negussie 28-Jan-2007 15:49
This is BEAUtiful!!! Especially for the effort you took to include small aspects like the back door of the brothers' room of Bisrate Gebriel School. I believe Martin Maekele is a long lost good friend of our family in Dire Dawa. (if you ever check out this site we can be in touch again at Eddyk50@Yahoo.com) If not, well, I'm apt to thank you gays for giveing me the opportunity of hearing the well being a good friend.
Keep up the good job!!! Desalegn Negussie

I was born in Kesira right above the Commercial Bank and then in Konel until i was 8 years old but i usually go there on every school break. It's been three years since i left Addis to study abroad and seeing the pictures was one good thing that makes me feel proud of my city.
Dino 08-Jul-2005 16:01
I lived in Dire Dawa from the time I was three months old until I turned 16. On page 2 there is a picture of the house I grew up in. It is the first two story house built in that town in 1906 by the french missionaries. Behind it was St Lazarus printing press which my father directed for the mission until 1977. Thank you for taking me back to the happy years of my childhood.
