Why dont i chime in here! Guys, the truth is that Ethiopia is no longer in love with the old man and our Ader, as a politician, has to look for support even from the seemingly "unusual" sources- Arabs, Islamic millitents and anybody who is anti-Ethiopian. And basically, the history between the old man and Ethiopia can be summerised as one of " scratch my back I scratch yours"...they made him the president and, in return, he was loyal to them throughout...Well, that is politics as Duke rightly put it..good or bad is an issue for another debate...
Now if i may comment on our president's performance, he has not been able to quell the violence and the madness in Somalia , has not improved the living standards of the somali people, has not improved the image of Somalia as a nation..has neither defeated nor won over his opponents...the war rages on and hope for a stable and strong Somalia is vanishing by the day...That i call a classical failure of leadership...
