quoted: The pastoralists, including Bela and Lobko, gathered in Kangaten for four days before reaching a consensus and passed a resolution: any person who steals cattle will double the number given back in reparation and anybody who commits murder will be handed over to the government, with 30 heads of cattle given to the bereaved family. However, despite the agreement, Bela and others felt a real reconciliation between ethnic groups should be made the traditional way.
"The Nyangatoms should come to our village and slaughter a goat," said Bela. "Then we should wash our hands with fat together."

quoted: These Ethiopian-grown strawberries benefit from 1700m altitude and strong sunlight concentrations to make them exceptionally sweet, with average of 10% sugar brix. The difference in taste of the Yuval variety (the main offering) is very noticeable compared to when it’s grown in other countries. The same is true of the other available varieties.

If the bill were to become law, the US could stop military assistance to Ethiopia and impose travel restrictions on some government officials unless Addis Ababa released “political prisoners” and people detained without trial, prosecuted officials “involved in the unlawful killings of demonstrators” after elections in May 2005, and ensured the independence of the judiciary and the press.

A very candid interview right before marking the 3rd Millennium. Contrary to the popular believes...I like Meles and admire his audacity & intelligence. My only wish is that if could re-direct his energy in a more positive ways, he could easily become one of the greatest leaders the African nations have seen!!
Quoted: TIME talks to Meles Zenawi about the U.S., terrorism and his own political future.
TIME: As you say, democracy is a destination rather than a present reality.
Meles: While all democratic systems are works in progress, ours started rather late and therefore has a longer distance to cover. But democratic transformation for us is not mimicking some facets of Western governance. The focus has been on building institutions of democratic governance. And to do so all the way to the grass roots. Democracy cannot be a plaything for the capital cities. It has to infiltrate every nook and cranny in the country, including the village.
