The state-controlled Ethiopian Television (ETV) has reported that Ethiopia’s dictator Meles Zenawi has died at the age of 57.
After announcing Meles Zenawi’s death, the ETV started showing various photos of the dictator with music on the bacground.
The TPLF junta has been claiming that Meles was recovering for a
minor illness and that he would return to his job before September 11,
Ethiopian New Year. However, multiple sources have been informing
Ethiopian Review and other media that Meles has died several weeks ago.
Finally, the regime has admitted this morning (Ethiopian local time)
that he is dead.
Obviously, it has been a while since Meles has died. It took this
long for the ruling TPLF junta to announce his death because they
couldn’t agree on his replacement.
Toward the end of last week, as reported by Ethiopian Review, the
U.S. Africa Command led by Gen. Carter F. Ham persuaded the minority
tribal junta to appoint Hailemariam Dessalegn as acting prime minister.
… stay tuned.
