(July 15, 2012)ADDIS ABABA)--Ethiopia's longtime ruler and most powerful
figure, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, is not attending an African Union
summit that opened Sunday in Ethiopia, which further fueled speculation
that he might be seriously ill.
About three dozen African heads of state and government gathered in Addis Ababa on Sunday, but Meles did not attend the meeting – a first since he assumed office in 1991.
Meles was expected to open the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) meeting on Saturday. But Senegalese President Macky Sall opened the gathering instead, telling participants that Meles was unable to be present due "to health conditions." Sall wished Meles "good health."
The most recent images of Meles aired by state-run Ethiopian Television showed him noticeably thinner. Opposition websites are claiming that Meles is being treated for a serious illness. The government declined to comment on the matter.
Ethiopia's parliament was set to hear from Meles last week when the country's lawmakers were scheduled to approve Ethiopia's current fiscal budget, which began July 8, but Meles did not address parliament. Meles in 2010 promised to step down by 2015. Hailemariam Desalegn was named deputy prime minister. He is also the country's foreign minister. Read more from huffing ton post »

ኢትጵያዮ ሆይ፤ ሊያልፍልሽ ትንሽ ብቻ የቀረሽ ትመስያለሽ
አረመኔው፤ ጨካኙ እና በስልጣኑ ብቻ የሚያሥበው ገዥሽ
80 ሚሊዮን ብቻ ብሎ በሚጠራው ህዝብ ጸሎት ተመታልሽ
ብቃት ያለው፤ ለአገር እና ለህዝብ የሚያስብ መሪ ሊመጣልሽ
በጸሎትሽ በርትተሸ ፍታሜውን ጠብቂው
ፍርፋሪ የለመድሽ፤ ጥገኛ ሁሉ ምን ሊውጥሽ ነው?????????
No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. He have done it his great job, he is not only Ethiopian PM also all African people leader.
most Ethiopians media have a secret "source" of information at the highest political level. we cant get the right information. Instead of letting the people of Ethiopia know what "their leader" is up to we learn it from outsiders , that is very sad.
It isn't always easy, but when you're not feeling well... hope it helps to know others are thinking of you... and hoping that you'll be better very soon.
