Mr. Prime Minister, Ato Meles Zenawi. I like your points especially from 6:00 to 6:28. I have a question regarding Ethiopianism. What is the benfit Oromo people gain out of unity? Oromo people are still under economic slavery. Oromo people are unable to benfit from their own natural resources. How can Oromo people achieve economic emancipation? Former Yugoslavian was disintegrated because of the government failure to distribute the country's resource in a fair maner.

[RasMekonen]

there is something fishy about this Ben dude! He might be one of them.

[EthioGQ]

However the prime minister wanna sugar coded, ethnic federalism is BAD for Ethiopia or for any other countries for that matter.

[ElleniHellas]

PM Meles is really human. At lease he is firm with his beleives. Not like the oppostion who chnge parties on a weekly basis.

[gidash]

This is it.

[Tigrigna]

For all the haters just hating on the dude for whatever reason, God i mean he is not a $100 bill or anything like that so not every one is going to like him but give the dude a break, i mean he made sooo many achivments for the country. Yes he made some mistake along the way but at least he admits that he made mistakes and he admits that he is a human being and so he is not perfect so unless you are perfect, you have no room to judge.

I too loved the identity question and answer a.k.a article 39 the prime minister candidly clarified that. I hope as many of those concerned ethiopians as possible get to listen to that.

The more i hear from this man the more i like him. I think he is taking the country in the right direction. I just hope that who ever succeed him will stay on the same track.

[EthioNigus]

Meles says he is a good Father... wow... if true can he be a good father for the rest of us??

[axum3000]

lol even though i dont agree with u that was a good one,lol but meles is the best in ethiopia,u will never find anyone like meles.

[seliye]

It was very much CANDID interview really, and Meles looks very much in a light spirit.

However i would like to congratulate Ben for job well done. You succeeded in showing us Meles as a person, not as politician.

[MsOlympia1]

Although I wish Ben could have asked him more questions, the ones that were asked were timely- So well done to Ethiopia First. And as for the PM...he never fails to impress me. We are proud of the developments under his leadership in a country that we all love so much!!!
