A top Ethiopian official says the health of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi is "much improved” in recent days, following treatment for an unspecified illness.

Meles has not been seen in public for more than a month, and opposition websites this week reported the Ethiopian leader is dead.

In an interview with Ethiopian television late Wednesday, Information Minister Bereket Simon dismissed those rumors as false and said Meles' health is in "good condition."

He did not reveal the prime minister’s illness, or where he is being treated, but said Meles has improved since the last time officials briefed reporters, about 12 days ago.

Media reports last month said Meles was critically ill at Saint Luc Hospital in Brussels, Belgium.

On Monday, Amsterdam-based Ethiopian Satellite Television said the the prime minister was dead, saying it based the report on information from a Brussels-based think tank, the International Crisis Group.

However, the International Crisis Group released a statement saying it has "no direct knowledge" of Meles condition and is not in a position to speculate about it.

Meles Zenawi is 57 years old and has ruled Ethiopia since taking power in a 1991 coup.

[Macos]

(In bold brown)Does accepting a military base in a country that never contravenes any international law amount to being a puppet? Is Cuba an American's puppet? (In bold blue) I believe it is the Ethiopians who stand better to judge him, are you an Ethiopian to judge him thus? Are you sure that he has done absolutely nothing for his country? Is your country any better than Ethiopia; be it Kenya, Somalia, Tanzania or any neighbouring country? Have you recently been to the country?
I don't know what mean when you talk of man made hunger (In bold, underlined) in regard to Zenawi's Ethiopia, but as far as I know that hunger was caused by draught; was Ethiopia's Zenawi a rain maker. And lastly but not least, if heeding to the international call to fight Al Shabaab with all its evil is what it takes to be named a puppet then let all Africa's leaders be so as this masonic group has brought about untold sufferings within and outside Somalia and it is the duty of every peace loving person to rid the world of those thugs posing as Islamists. Therefore Uganda, Burundi, Kenya and all who will join force to fight those satanists deserve a salute. Are you an Al Shabaab yourself? Let Ethiopians and other who value what this son of Africa did mourn him in harmony.

We are much better than Ethiopia .In Tanzania opposition are are free and they strongly criticize government without any intimidation,
Under Zenawi currently, all of the leaders of the main opposition party (CUD) are in jail after an alleged attempt to initiate the post-election violence and overthrow the government. Some of these elected CUD officials endure very harsh conditions inside Ethiopia's poorly maintained prisons and they are at risk of various medical complications. Police records in Addis showed 20,000 people were arrested during the anti-government protests! 20,000 its note a small number my friend
Meles Zenawi government carried out brutal counter-insurgency techniques against the Ogaden people. Since the Arab Spring started, the Meles government has arrested more than 175 people, mainly opposition party members but also including six journalists
He left the country in confusion as the country does not provide clear picture on succession..You know why? Because dictators always think they are immortals,
[h=2]Regarding hunger and food..Yes its man made because Ethiopia receive more water from Nile after Sudan, but Ethiopia has marked 1.6 million hectares of fertile land to” foreign investors” to farm and proceeds exported back to their countries !!! Leaving millions of poor Ethiopians without land and food.[/h] [h=2]Foreign firms that have started large scale commercial farming include Indian companies Saudi Arabian companies and Chinese companies. BUT they are not producing anything for locals but for their country. or the land is used to farm Kat /Miraa or Mirungi !!!!! [/h] In short he failed to save Eithiopian from poverty due to his policies. HE ONLY LIKES TO BE PRAISED BY HIS WESTERN FRIENDS.

ESAT's decision to report that Prime Minister Meles Zenawi is dead, according to reliable sources, has never been easy.Further discourse on the Washington DC undressing Meles Zenawi It was two weeks ago that we received the news from highly credible sources in Brussels.

Our sources that want to remain anonymous as they were not authorized to speak to the media on this sensitive matter told us that the International Crisis Group (ICG) concluded that Mr. Zenawi was deceased. Headquartered in Brussels, with offices around the world, ICG is the leading independent think tank on conflict prevention and resolution around the world. It was hard to ignore information from such a highly reputable international organization.

As a responsible media outlet, ESAT tried to investigate and verify the tip meticulously before it decided to broadcast the news. To be fair to the facts, we have also scrutinized the conflicting and contradictory information coming out from the ruling TPLF clique. We have examined not only the statements and stories put out for public consumption by the TPLF, but also their conducts that tell their own stories.

As Meles Zenawi's 21-year tyrannical rule has surely come to a screeching halt, the TPLF proved to be a heap of mess without its chieftain. Ethiopia appeared to be leaderless and cheerless. In the absence of its head, the regime appeared to be decapitated, incapacitated, incoherent, disunited, disorganized and disoriented.

This is typical of a one-man regime unlike institutionally sound democratic systems (like Ghana) that cannot be easily shaken by the death or absence of one man. Like an untrained ship crew with no captain in sight, the ruling elite seem to be at a loss for direction in the face of a gathering storm.

I do not think if he was a dictator, but most respected person in his country. And after his death Ethiopia will be divided and ruled by Clan heads.

[Mikael Aweda]

Mimi siwezi kusema ni Dictator au la kwa kuwa sina taarifa za kutosha kuhusu uongozi wake. Kumbukeni media zinazosema ni dictata ndo hizo hizo zilizokuwa zinasema Nyerere wa Tz ni dictator.

Wacha tu niamini kwamba kamanda Melesi Zenawi amefariki. Nadhani sasa binamu yake bwana Afwereki wa Eritrea atakuwa anashangilia kwa mauti kumfika adui yake.
