"[Ethiopia's]
political arena is not to be entered into." |
|
Hailu Shawel
(Eng.) chairperson of the All Ethiopian Unity Party said in an
exclusive interview with the Amharic weekly Addis Press on
December 23, 2009, when asked to explain how he got into

for Asrat Woldeyes's (Prof.) political party. He was nominated
to be in the leading position for the All Amhara People's
Organisation when Asrat went to jail in the 1990s. |
