    Excellent saying and speech, Mr. President! Your great wisdom and underestanding of the context in Africa and the developements in Ethiopia in particular is amazing and full of facts. In Ethiopia, we have a narrow minded individuals/intellectuals who have no clue about these presented facts and new developments in our continent but still dreaming and praying interventions from the western countries….hmmmm.
