Ethiopian Review blows kisses to its Man of The year. In five parts. http://blip.tv/file/2169357
His Excellency had such a busy May giving interviews to anybody with a mic and a visa that Four Winds just couldn't keep up. The essence of the message: everybody has failed and made mistakes, except for me. I am doing good, but I could do better. In 18 years, we have gone 10% of the distance. In 2 years,we will be at 50%. In two years, we will have food security. My secret? Focus on stability. Infrastructure. Synergy. Quality of life. Lean. Efficient. Special interest. Ultimately. Gold. Mules. Donkeys. Words. Honestly, do even his most devoted fans think that the man has all his marbles?
