P.M Meles's interview by Jonathan Rugman of channel four
Ethiopia’s prime minister, Meles Zenawi, is supposed to represent the whole of Africa at the G20 this week – apart from the South Africans, who are the only African G20 members.
“Give him a hard time,” a Somali friend texted me on the way to Zenawi’s hotel. I tried, but the PM’s feline charm and quick mind got the better of me….
For as Meles himself told me in this interview, Africans will die unless the rest of the world ameliorates the effects of the global slowdown on the continent.
