Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi


Prime Minister Meles Zenawi is an articulate public speaker and must be a joy to interview. Not withstanding his well received session on various issues with the youth on Sept. 8 and his millennial address on Sep.12 at the grand millennium city hall, it is a bit regrettable that our erudite P.M. is more inclined to reserve his better interview moments for the foreign media.

The interview was granted in his office in the capital Addis Ababa and conducted by ALEX PERRY on Thursday, Sep. 06, 2007. (Courtesy SVEN TORFINN / PANOS FOR TIME)
