This makes me giggle only because Afwerki being a former Marxist rebel leader (now a neo-socialist dictator), Suharto would have had him killed with every other Marxist, communist, socialist, whatever in his rise to power. I sure he meant to say in his message of condolence was that He was sorry it didn't happen sooner. Unbelievable!
