If Ethiopian rulers are so keen on conflict resolution why don't they go ahead and release journalists and prisoners of conscience in jail for asking why one leader and one party should remain in power for 21 years? For asking why aid money meant for the poor is used to punish those who do not support the government?
well guys; did you see? there will be no wars. Africa will be making a grave and seriously mistakes if they allow some of their vibrant countries to involve in wars against each other?? that will be hell in hell.
