Jabhad Posted February 1, 2007 Erdogan: I am ashamed as a human Turkish PM in Addis Ababa Erdogan: I am ashamed as a human Touring Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa yesterday, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he felt "ashamed as a human" on seeing the poverty-stricken conditions of some of the people living there. Erdogan toured the Muslim and Christian neighborhood of Filoha in Addis Ababa, passing out cookies and biscuits to children, and speaking with residents. He also stopped in at the second largest mosque in the city, and greeted the imam there. Comparing his visit with a previous one to Darfur in Sudan, Erdogan noted "There I visited a camp for refugees. Here, there is hunger and poverty, but we are in Ethopia, and in the capital." Erdogan was joined on his tour by various government officials, as well as his daughter, Sumeyye Erdogan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
