Why..we Africans always think in far from truth and facts.. Why? think it over.. we don't know all African leader personality and their action..Ha..all or most most of African leaders are stupid and they are irrational too,non-democratic thoughts and practices..etc.. therefore, how could we say they are great leaders...ha.. what is u standards to say great leaders?
Ato. Meles died young, many in Ethiopia, Africa, west and east of The African continent still needed him. He was liked and hated almost in equal measure if you go by what Ethiopians say! By any measure one among many post Liberation movement african leaders who achieved so much for his country, continent and the world at large. A man who chose carefully which wars to fight, who understood how the Global issues affect his country and where to fit Ethiopia on this new trend! For many among these Herod of Africa didn't actual advance into this new world order! Hope his legacy will not only be as mark antonie would say! "The evils men do live after them.......good often burri... With their bones! May his soul rest in peace Ato melees!
