Ethiopian PM takes to the podium
When Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi came to give a speech on “The Current Global Environment and its Impact in Africa” on Wednesday, he faced tough questions from student attendees on his leadership of his home country.
Zenawi’s short lecture focused on African economic growth and globalization, but afterwards an audience pressed him on details of the recent Ethiopian election, freedom of speech and the press in his country, and his regrets as prime minister.
