In response to one of the commentators here….

“Abebe” was a screen name that was once used by our own PM Meles Zenawi when trying to discretely confront (pause a question) the then Ertirean Ambassador via a telephone in a live TV interview.

I hate to believe it but your excellency, Ethiopia is heading or by now is probably a banana republic.

Of course Ethiopia is a banana republic. It’s a one-man banana republic. It’s a dysfunctional one-man banana republic!

Dear senator Ethiopia is not banana republic. Leave us alone. We do not want your intervention.
