Andrew Marr really is channeling Bill O'Reilly here isn't he? Bad BBC.
Let's not be stupid. The reason the media establishment is so gleefully willing to run with the "diverted food aid" fable (no evidence is ever shown) is because it encourages cyncism, fear and self-interest. It fosters divisons and undermines the value of charity. And so money that might just go towards some starving kids in Africa will instead be disillusionally spent on the crap big business is flogging. KA-CHING!
With all due respect Sir Bob Geldoff! The man you call a mal-content dissident is an actual TPLF member who at that was their financier! If anyone should know, it would be him. But of course his testimony doesn't make it a fact or the final word on the matter. However, he is not the sole person to have witnessed the money diversion. It has been confirmed by various political active leaders at the time, as well as by current TPLF members themselves. For us, Ethiopians, this is old news!

Well, we can say - he says so ! Was he there? I say, no he was not. Dose he know everything about Ethiopian politics? may be, " he knows it all"...
