Zenawi & the Greater Afarland
09.02.2009
While visiting Semera, the new capital of the Afar Regional State, on 25
January, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi was not content to merely promise the
"renaissance" of Ethiopia. According to our sources, he also broke a taboo
in the wings by encouraging the Afar People's Democratic Party (APDP - the
leading faction in the regional government in Semera) to claim the
incorporation of the Afar region of Eritrea that borders on the Red Sea into
the Ethiopian Afar Regional State, under the name of Afar unity........
