Hailemariam Dessalgne has become the Chairman of the Ethiopian ruling party, the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) in a meeting that the Front’s Council held today, according to our sources. The Chairperson is “highly likely†to become the Prime Minister of the Country once sworn in parliament. Hailemaraim was the Front’s Deputy until the death of the Chairperson, the late Meles Zenawi.  While Demeke Mekonen of ANDM has been elected as the Deputy Chairman of EPRDF, according to MT
inside sources. The head of ANDM, Demeke Mekonen, is the Minister of Education also.
Dear Maleda:
Found this quote at the link below. Interesting?
“Comrade Mengistu adamantly sought military solution to the nation’s dilemma. He would not liberalize his policies soon enough because he only listened to his mentors Dr. Fida & Co., the ghosts of Uncle Marx, Cousin Lenin, Brother Castro, and later as he gained confidence, only to his inner voice. Did history determine the course of his fate? All the same, he continues to be severely criticized by all those who hoped but failed to wrest power from him. In the end, he will probably be remembered for enduring an embarrassing confrontation in the Shengo by a lone cleric and for taking a last flight out of the country. He was then in his fifties as is Prime Minister Meles now. Am I being fatalistic again?”
