I can't wait unitl the guy resign. He insisted its not his intention to run 3rd time in office. I guess as soon as He step dawn the killing, the harrassment, the tourcher and all types of ill treatment will go to hell with Him. That is my Hope.

it is nice that enrollment in every way is growing in ethiopia, but as the interview says, the quality of education is BADO this has been our country's problem for many decades. that is the real challenge now.

It is so sad to see PM Melese's term come to an end. His administration and leadership is the best thing that has happened to us. May God be merciful to us again and give us a LEADER like him. My good wishes to you PM Meles. History will remember you as the best.

it is a good interview. the journalist is
neither pro or anti eprdf. he is as objective as one gets. and he seems to be impressed about ethiopia realtive where the country were
when he last visited 30 years ago. for some
meles claiming to step down is more important than the growing schools and litracy rate in ethiopia.i agree meles has to leave office to give another person a chance and take some of the bad things with him but it is not the end of ethiopias problem. unless ethiopia defeat the grinding poverty, it realy doesnt matter who is sitting in arat kilo, except to the person and those few people around him/her.

I am sure that Meles is the most articulate and intelligent Leader and politician Ethiopia has ever had! It is too bad that he wants this to be his last term,.....I hope to see him serve at least one more term.

We will no longer patronize or listen to hornless cow mooing @ us! If it wasn't for NAZRET.COM the child killer senile geezer satan face would not be posted here, or listen to MOLACHA-LEBA stupid remarks. thanks to cheer leaders we have deal morans on daily bases.

First of all I would like to thank Nazret.com for chosing this enterview to come here, I believe it would be very important for us (only Ethiopians) to discuss on this issue. I hope everyone here will give a matured and responsible comment on this issue.
Having said that, I got the chance to watch the interview and I believe the PM is really determined to meet the education goal put by the country. I will give a big credit for our PM for just having such an ambitious plan. I believe it is a very realistic plan, which I would say a very important madicine to all of the problems we have. Education! Education! Education! that is the only tool by which we can solve our inherent prblems once and for all. We are already seeing the fruit of it, and with no doubt when this goal is achieved, which I truly belive we will, the people of ethiopia will get the ultimate freedom. The people of Ethiopia will then be invincible. They will not be manipulated by the different ill will groups. The people of Ethiopia will stand for themselves. More over, they will speed up the development process the same way some asian countries did it. I pray for those days to come. I would really congradulate the people of Ethiopia on this. We are really getting the torch! At last but not least I would like to thank, from the bottom of my heart, out PM, the great Meles Zinawi, for starting up this revolution. Whether you get a chance to see the result, while you are in the power or not, the success we are going to see will reamain to be your legacy. Ethiopia will surly have sears to lead this journey to the end. Once agin I would like to thank our PM for starting this historical and very vital revolution.

thanks
Tensae

I don't belive that finally he said SORRY for all the lives he took in such terrifying manner. However, I'm happy that he said he do not want to run again as a prime minister and he also said this is his last term. One point he didn't mention was where he gona go after the end of his term. Is he gona stay in other form of supremacy in Addis/ Mekele or he gona start his luxury life in his Potomac world class palace like villa ? We need more details Mr criminal !!

One thing is for sure, Meles will not seek another term, he wants to make sure, the Ethiopian democratic change and process is not hinderd, by him running for the 3rd term. Defying his critics, and ment when he says that he will move the country forward in to a viable democracy. As expected if Meles was to go on with his plan for democratization of Ethiopia and ecconomical development, self reliance and self seffisency, he will deffinetly have more than a page or two in Ethiopias history book, as the most greatrst leadr of Ethiopia for transforming his country to a full and vianble democracy in the history of our country and an heard of development in every asspects of life to which that will be credited to him. However another matters are clearly insight, that is he will make sure that Isay-ASS is no longer a treat to Ethiopia's national security and will revers the mistake he made by land locking his country and therefore, he will open a sea access before he leaves office. May GOD bless our country.

My hero meles pls before you leave make sure you have to dismantle cud ideas from this nation

You are smart you do a lot of things for these country history will tell us you are the first leder bring modernization idea to this country interims of education, agriculture and democracy

I hope your goal will be finish your vision will be success we will pray to you
You will accomplished your work it will help us for Farmer and a poor people in Ethiopia

I see know a lot of people change since the election Even die hard cuds and priests change there ideas that is very good if they know there problem and change that what we need and fight your vision with peace

I do not believe him that he will resign. Because he said "on my part". I guess he will be in power again and say " I am chosen by TPLF or ..."

Yesterday statistics ,today another statistics .How come unfounded percentages can reflect the realities ?This guye is more and more sinking into the sea of his own lies .How come the Bush Administration trusts such kind of man ?"..Bikeftut Telba;;;" LONG LIVE THE TRUE ETHIOPIANS !!!

Meles' face can be a good
avatar to say scary things whilee exchanging messages online.

Had it been in England Mr. Meles should have resigned and put for justice not asked to appologise as David tried to do. Mr. Meles had ordered his body guards to kill innocent civilians for standing against his dictatorial rule. He was asked to take every possible action including closing down the free media, put in jail the opposition leaders, journalists, union leaders and others at the request of few military and TPLF leaders to save themselves from what may happen if democratialy elected government is established. History will judge enemies of the Ethiopian people as there is no permanent hiding place any more.

lol mr talk talk spinner! clone of Tony Blair, MelASS will be in the back ground controlling the party while ex SHABIA brother in law Bereket Simon PM.

Guys, this interview itself is a spin organized by TPLF inner circle, what a bollocks!

He is, by far the Best leader Ethiopia Ever has.
Good Luck Meles & Enjoy your
time. You deserve it.

18 years back Mr Dimbleby had asked the dictator whether he will end up in the same trash as his predecessors or he will give up power for a democractically elected government. When that didn't happen in 18 years why he bothered about education issues? I lost my respect to Mr Dimbelby who seems spin doctor like some NGOs who talk about malnutrition in Tigray! Not Jijiga, Donot try again! We know you all!

Meles is a product of the Anti-Ethiopian Eritrea-Tigray movement. He had no vision for Ethiopia as a nation and those who expect any good out of him shall pray to hatch pigeon out of the snake's egg. Ethiopia was unlucy with many leaders in power but not with some one in power with out Ehtiopia in him (Meles) This man is lier who can not even remember his real name let alone where Ethiopia will be in 5 years.

Why this news come this late ? The interview was held on the 23rd of May and come public 0n the 31st after morethan a week. Mr Jonathan Dimbleby you got such a big news and why you had to hold for 7/8 days in this high tech world? I smell some sort of trick because I don't belive WOYANE related news. It sounds interview by invitation. As I mentioned earlier, even if Meles resigns, it could be very possible that he gona have a remote control from somewhere to manipulate the pseudo-prime minster to be selected (not elected). What you think guys? That is my suspecion based what I saw practically for the last 16 years in that country. Everybody should be beware of other for of trap by WOYANE before hand.
God Bless Ethiopia!

“I wish it could have been done without so much bloodshed!" PM of Ethiopia concerning the 2005 election and the aftermath, which ended in the death of almost 200 innocent civilians.
M. Zenawi is true to himself, his past and his future. He couldn’t hide his true feelings in the use of brute force, if his autocracy is in danger. He indirectly told us that he is ready to use forceful suppression of any opposition in the future, but with a logical amount of bloodshed. To him what matters is not human sacrifice as such, but excess human sacrifice.
He couldn’t dare say “I wish we could have done it without any bloodshed what so ever”. Addiction is a very strong phenomenon that dominates a person’s life. Addiction to blood is the worst of all.
As much as resigning from office is concerned, let’s see it before we comment. Even if he resigns, should we expect a change of policy as much as democracy, freedom and human rights are concerned? Of course not! The crown of the emperor will be transferred to an other true child of TPLF/woyane, who will continue to rule Ethiopia with the same iron fist. We should also be sure that M.Zenawi will always be there, behind the scene to move the string so that his puppets will continue to dance to the same tune.

I hope we will get a smart, intellegent and knowledgable leader as you are! you are our Hero Mr. Prime Mister....We wish you all the best in the coming...! Well to all those who opposse your good work , i would say i hope they have some one that can do at least half of your good job!....and finally they will recall history and remeber you for all the good things you did for ethiopia and its people...like the famouse artist KUKU sings in her TIZITA.... "Ande Noro tefi Meche Tedergena...Zoro MELES yilal Tizta ENDEGENA" ....Remeber this...

PEACE, LOVE and PROSPERITY to ETHIOPA!!!

Last but not least, Do not compare this Gugmangug with Blair. Blair stands for the interest of his nation (Britain}. Profit or Loss? That is a matter to be seen. Meles in the contrary is against the interest of Ethiopia in all aspects. He had said it before he took power and he is implementing it day by day. Britain has achieved a lot during Blair's period including peace in NI, If Meles had 2% of Blair in him Ethiopia would have been in much better position.
Do not compare morderer with democratically elected leader.
Thank you

What a superior intellect that Meles is endowed by his creator. He is divinely placed to lead Ethiopia at this transition into the creation of a democratic prosperous nation who is surrounded by enemies that want her harm.
Your country is indeed proud of you that simple journalist was well prepared with half truth questions and thought he could ambush you in his loop. He got a lesson from a superior mind who will not buy the bet of a hired gun's false question; he first corrects the miss statements and gave him a lesson in politics, temperament, logic and extensive knowledge to go along with it. The poor guy who was belligerent in the beginning looked simple and humbled ready to be petted. He did not know what a master politician is seated in front of him.
Meles is not; Hailu Shaul or Essayas Afworke who shoot themselves on the foot every time they open their mouths.

AMESTERDAMER
I can't verbally state what i wish to happen to people with barbarically stupid. unless you requested us an apology! due to The dutch-land simple access of BLUNT and KAYA who is responsible for your thinking malfunction.

wake up dude!

Yergacheffe.Ethiopians have never had a chance to elect their leadrs,everyone that has come and gone got the power by the barrel of the gun.So you can not say meles is a great leader unless you come from tigray.

In the west if you apologize it means accepting accountability follow by compensation. in our country apology doesn't mean anything just dry word and carry on killing detaining..etc. also many African leaders changed their mind after promising to go.

Nazret.com With all due respect I am surprised you have posted two news topics that are out dated. I am talking about this article about the PM and about Muhamed Ahmed. PM interview was already in every website since last week. So please try to give as up-to-date info(News) since you are in this competitive media business. Other than that, your good a source.

Thanks

[Thanks Warrior, we will do our best and we need your help. Send us your feedbacks.Thank you again]

I think I liked the conversation very much. Bravo Melese Zenawi. I am proud of you and here is a visionary leader.

Pretension, exaggerations, decisive, and lying are the hallmark of this parasitic Tigryan leader. Some even doubt that he ever have any commitment to any thing in life, except his commitment to work day and night to figure out way of staying in power, by subjugating other ethnic group he governs under the yoke his dictatorship. As displayed on this interview, when it comes to lying, Meles does it to the hilt. He doesn't shy away or hesitates a bit. He is a natural and a pathological liar. He trashes the image of this ancient and proud nation and his Tigryan ethnic group. Even thought we Ethiopians are poor and desperate, we are proud of what we believe in. Meles, please do not lie, it is not in our culture. Stop the diversion by taking about "the good did' you have "accomplished" and release those innocent prisoners, your are just only bringing shame, disgrace and chaos to our beloved country by their suffering.

Meles took over a langushing country from a dictator who butcherd his owen people, dranged ecconomy, moraly deafeted population, in general a rouwend country, that was about to collaps. What a difference a leader makes. Meles had made serious of mistakes, at the begining of his leadership, specialy on national security issues. Meles has an anvaling story to tell us some where in the futuerstic time on how he trusted Isay-ASS was decived and back stabbed dy Isay-ASS on Assab issues and other important issues. Either he will write a book or two and revail every thing that he knows on how our country ended up being land locked even though it should not have been.

buju [Visitor] ,

I say Meles is a great leader because he liberated you from Mengistu. He is also a great leader becasue he is the first leader to bring democratic elections to Ethiopia.

http://www.ethiopians.com/Views/ProfessorNegussay_on_Meles_and_Eritrea_Ethiopia.pdf

HE DID HIS BEST AS MUCH AS HE CAN BUT WE ALL ETHIOPIANS WE DIDN'T GAVE HIM A CHANCE TO DO HIS BEST ALWAYS CURSING,PRAYING TO DIE COME ON EVERYBODY THINK POSITIVE.

to wesi.. and alike

Wake up men! nazret is not the only web-site. I have listen to the interview on may 26 on other website....and more be constructive than distructive when you support or oppose of any thing.



thanks

It is a great interview....great response es from The PM. I hope he will keep his words, so we will see a new PM. God Bless Ethiopia and the people

Yirgacheffe thanks you have always been logical. Again PM Melese is the best that has happened to us. Long live Meles. By the way some of you said he is resigning - of cours he is not - he will complete his term - you see there is a difference between resigning and completing. Oh another thing Melese does not resign or give up. See you in UN or the World back Melese they need people like you. And in my opinion we will be so selfish if we ask you to run for office again Not because you will not win! no just the contrary but you need abreak my friend. You have to live for yourself and for your family a normal domestic life. I Bless you from the bottom of my heart and God Bless Ethiopia and Ethiopians all over the world

For me, the interview looked lifeless because, in contrast to the interviewer, Meles looked quite unmotivated and even bored. He didn't got nerved even by the harsh questions. Well,the contents matter most. It is good that we are going to see a democratic transition of power.

"People are intitle to their own opnion" .....Ethiopian needs educated leaders not a president who take office by power any more ,...If we allow this again ,we will be $1000 yrs. behind again again... Ethiopia needs:low Population rate(that is the problem too...even here in U.S people who has more children suffer the most in life ),as he said more more Education to the rural people since 80% of the population leave in Agriculture ,lets teach the farmer better education ...Last Ethiopia doesn't need talk talk talk ...I mean we talk about the problem for a long time let us start to talk about Ideas now!!!!Ideas really change life ,really change life !!!! what is that mean in general ...If you want to see a new Ethiopia in 20 yrs. you need to start to focus from your family first,family makes country or state, I know everybody love Ethiopia,But do you really like your familly? if yes what do you do in the past 10 yrs .to better their life????Ask Yourself...Peace.

The man is smart. simple and clear. ethiopia might regret loosing him. Those who don't like him, don't kill me. I am just using my judgement.

i wish meles before he finsh his term remove esayass from power and finish the dispute b/n ethiopia and eretria for good

It looks like that he was to behave nice otherwise he will be punished and also they make him to day i am sorry. Now Tony Blair showed us his power over this primitive.

Oh my goodness, Is he not ashamed of what in the world he is saying? Don’t they get it that he is telling lies after lies?

About this being his last term [with the stolen election], he can go to hell if Ethiopia cares!

WE ARE PROUD YOU ARE ETHIOPIAN MELES ZENAWI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meles once said that he would like to be remembered as the guy who started the process (Democritization). Indeed he did. He lead and still leads Ethiopia with a strong vision, with emphasis on development and stability. The process is in place and his replacer would have easier time? That remains to be seen, as Democracy is a new animal to Ethiopians. The state of affairs of the opposition camp is a good example: collaborating with enemies of Ethiopia just to depose Meles Zenawi. Remember he still has 3 years more to go, and he can do a more. Good luck and well done Mr Prime Minster.

Thats is "Political Strategy".

Even he is not in his (Evil Throne) office, his tentacles, evil connections and influence will spread his "darkness" entire Ethiopia.

Only the "people power" will crush his "darkness". . .

Meles is a great leader,other than 2005 election (a cause of bloodshed for protestors and police men) to taint his image. I agree with him, he shouldnt run for third term. I will also hope, the next leader wont be from tigray region. Why? because it will be big shoe to fill after meles. If meles couldnt get accepted,how in the world will be another person with get accept. And,I also hope someone as hightly qualified as meles from konso or some other minorities lead the country. Or the majorities oromos got a chance to lead. So the people of tigray will get a chance to prove themselves, they are good ethiopians as good as everyone else. Regardless of some baseless accusation unfolding
from the remainat of the old regime. And I also hope,the final conclusion remarks of Jonathan Dimbleby will get materialize. And Ethiopians will again get a chance to trust their own government for the first time. Not questioning their unconditional mobilization to defend their own country. Trust in a sense,no matter who is leading the country, no matter which ethnic group he belongs,to trust their own leaders..
they are working for them..they are
accountable only for the people..
I could have said it better in amharic.

Frankly speaking, I prefer PM Meles than the majority of Pseudo-intellects.

And if he is to step down and somebody should take his place, I choose the proven Arkebe Ik'ubai.

Third term? NO way!
He will rather run for his FIRST term in HELL. His experience of killing and torturing people will likely make him the best candidate for the job in Gehhanem.

No doubt, he is heading to eternal barbecue to serve as a roast with Hitler, Idi Amin, Saddam and other killers. The gates of hell are wide open to receive him on a red hot carpet.

Choice

the 1st PM to say i don't like it i had enough . i don't need 3rd term..
i am happy that he is ours

KOKEB….

Hahaha…...Here we go again… u proved how tiny your brain is. Yes, Holland is the most tolerant nation with a lot of freedom. Do you think ppl in this country are high all the time???. U r amazingly Stupid….I don’t expect much from u kind's anyway. Swallow it old lady…….MELES IS BY FAR THE BEST PRESIDENT ETHIOPIA EVER HAS. & we will die for him.

I can't stand the dude, so I barely saw the interview. His arrogance and demeanor just turns me off. It doesn't seem like he was sorry for the killings after the election, but that the interviewer put words in Meles' mouth. Obviously, Meles's action speak otherwise.

If I recall, Meles was a president, and now is a PM. I wouldn't be surprised if he stays in power under a different title, maybe a head of state or a king. It's really hard to give up power in Africa.

I don't know if this was asked in the interview but at any rate, somebody please help me understand why schooling is upto 10th grade in the rest of the country and upto 12th grade in Tigray.

God is good everything has got an end whether this ruthless individual wishes to step down or otherwise. Hileselassie, who was considered as eternal by many Ethiopians, toppled down by his own soldiers as another ruthless dictator Mengistu was forced to live in exile. Only one prayer: Please God stop the suffering of Ethiopians through the ages by series of ruthless governments, please give us a good leader who fears you and lead Ethiopians with wisdom, knowledge, honesty and equality. Amen!

good observation. i agree meles doesnt sound passionate about the subject, but it could
be the language.

Meles is a great leader

He librated us from mengistus horror regim.
He emancipated us from mental slavery by expanding education.

Do you know? only 2000 students could join colleges at the time EPRDF came to power but now more than 120000 people join Universities not including those going to private and vacational colleges. At the moment more than 2000000 Edegmewalehu! Hulet million students are in post high school institutions.

Kinijits dont celebrate.
It is another smarter person from EPRDF that is gonna replace him.

Let me guess.
1- Junadin Sado
2- Arkebe Equbay
3- Girma Birru

Trust me it is not going to be YeShewa Amara

May be Siyum mesfin could replace him

Wesi Is it yekulmcha sim for Wosene? I don't think You have seen the interviews he had before. He has mentioned so many times he was sorry for the lives of innocent people but he don't feel sorry for the Dergue remnants CUD leaders now in prison. Stop your conspiracy theory you said about Dimbleby. He can release his interview anytime he want. Concerning Meles's Interview We got a great leader who leave office willfully. We never had such leader in our 3000 year history .

Can we at least for one agree that the PM is an articulate and well informed who is on path to ride the country out of an endless pcycle of violence and poverty. I agree with the interviewer that Ethiopia is on the right track and well continue to grow economically benefting millions of its citizens. The PM is determined to pull Ethiopia out of endless cycle of poverty.

He learnet some thing for shure from ethiopians wich is thee is a time to leave and go back to his cave. About his education he said he didn't finished university but how the hell was he talking about thesis writing with out getting proper education.

Of course it is diffrent from the dedebit cave.He thinks it is an easy ride with out any knowledge, he must live this complicated things for the intelectuals.

if he leaves and his closest cronies like Bereket don't take the PM position then he wins my respect. I have good and bad things to say about him. For now the bad weighs out the good. One Giant mistake he will always be remembered by will be to make a big country like Ethiopia a land locked country without consulting the Ethiopian people. The same proportional mistake was done by Someone in the past. An Ethiopian King who could have liberated the north part of Ethiopia but ignored his people, put his hands in his pocket and walked away. Both MP Meles's and Negus Menelek's action or rather inaction, will and do have a long lasting negative consequence on the people of Ethiopia.

i feel so sad to hear PM Meles is not going to seek another term to lead ethiopia to the best way it has ever been I don't see anyone that is going to replace him. I love you meles, I hope you will change your mind. Please make sure all the problem specially with eritrea and somalia is taken care off. May God's peace and wisdom be with you

Choice,

I can say. . . "ONE is ENOUGH, TWO is TOO MUCH and THREE is POISON TO KILL A PERSON" . .

Enough to Killings!, Enough to Corruptions!, Enough to Atrocities, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

Cheers my Friend!

Nazret.com

please post some article so that we discuss the educational policy.

the educational policy goes the same for every state in the country. please let us learn to prove some thing before we talk.

10th grade matric exam is for the students in every part of the country.

This is how it works in every state of the country whether tigrai or Somali or Amhara.
Students learn up to 10 and take exam prepared by the ministry of education those who pass continue to prepare for Universities in the 11 and 12 grades and then they join one of the universities in the country. Those who failed to score enough join either diplom programs of 10+1 to 10+3 or join technical vacational training(TVT) institutions to learn specific professional field of study. This policy is the same for every state in the country.

Even if it is not the same we can give constructive comments like, let us say if Tigrai has better policy than Amhara Go and ask the Amhara state authorities to explain their reason for having such a policy and recommend better policies.

Please, Please let us not be based on "Alubalta"

No matter what, PM Meles is the most greatest, and smart leader the country had. Everyone has freedom to express him/her peacefully. I just wanted to bring to your attention that most of the inappropriate comments are posted by Eritreans, who would like to see the cease of the Ethiopian development that is happening. We, Ethiopians, regardless of tribe, gender, age or any differences that we have, we should unite together and work what is best for our country. To the Eritreans, back off and leave us alone. Talk to your mad cow Isaiyias and he will kick your ass. Also tell Mr. Afewerki, if he tries to attack Ethiopia again, the greatest Ethiopian army will destroy all the Eritrean soldiers. And this war would be the last war we would have with Eritrea. For my brothers, who are Ethiopians- go and visit Ethiopia and you will see the development that is going on and that happened in the last 10 years. I did not believe the the government of Ethiopia until I went and visited by myself. I will leave it here and ask you to go there and check it out.

Belay

We did have a leader who left power by will. One of them is Atse Gebremeskel of Axum.

Please dont think democracy is some thing new for Ethiopia. Our fathers are the inventors of Democracy the Greeks learned it from our fathers. The Orom kept that culture for long as GADA.

dear iam,
not arkebe no way, their must be someone
better than that guy. anyways i am very
glad to here the news. meles did good
things and some bad things like other
leaders in the world. as an ethiopian
i'm proud of what he said about the education
and the sea port.

i urge you to watch this video
Saddam Hussein - The Trial you will never see
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeY05iS5iv0

As long as we know Mr. Meles, he is a master liar. He never walk what he talk. As far as I understood his interview, He did not say I will not continue as a PM here after in black and white. I wish not to be is something you can flip by saying my party insisted when the time come. But I am not totally pessimistic, that he may consider stepping down from the pressure within to make a space for another power thirsty comrade who will definitely promise to protect him from trial of more than 30 years hands on crime.
Anyway, if he go we have no more tears to shade for a despot. What is important is who is gonna be the next man a despot or patriotic?
Help God this poor Ethiopia.
