Commentaries Irrigation Agriculture is the Answer for Famine-not Institutionalizing Begging
A Brief Observation by: Yared (November 29, 2002) While I was reading the Ethiopian government’s main News Paper “Addis Zemen” a few days a go, I came across a surprising statement. The paper praises the Ethiopian government for informing the International community about the present drought but blasts the world for not extending its helping hands for drought victims on time. What baffles me here is whether “Begging” has gradually become a normal thing to do and not as some thing to be embarrassing for the country.

Commentaries Playing a New Game, when the Equation Changes: Meles-Style Part II
By Bezabih
As the new political adventures of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi unfold, the economic renewal has been primed to supplement the political renewal. He is devising a way to diffuse the general perceptions of economic injustices. At the present time, the prime minister seems to embark on a new policy, which he thinks could be acceptable, as fair and impartial. The grievance of the population, the firmness of IMF, World Bank, the United States and the European Union on fair and impartial economic opportunity to all the population segments seems to influence him to jump on the economic renewal band wagon.
