The press conference on the health of Ethiopia’s dictator that was scheduled today by the Woyanne junta has been canceled, but AFP has has been able to confirm from from several diplomats that the dictator is gravely ill.
BRUSSELS (AF) — Ethiopian Prime Minister dictator Meles Zenawi was in a Brussels hospital in a “critical” state on Wednesday, several diplomatic sources told AFP, but the Ethiopian government Woyanne regime denied he was unwell.
“He is in a critical state, his life is in danger,” said a diplomat who asked not to be named.
In Addis Ababa, however, government spokesperson Bereket Simon denied reports that the 57-year-old premier was ill. “He is not in a critical state. He is in good condition,” the spokesperson told AFP.
In Brussels, the Ethiopian embassy refused to comment. It had said earlier this week that reports he was being treated at a hospital were “false and wrong”, and were a rumour created by “an interest group which has preoccupied itself in disseminating such untrue stories”.
But several diplomats in Brussels said he had been undergoing regular treatment on a private basis at one of the city’s major hospitals and had been in hospital for a few days.
No information was available on his illness.
Questions surfaced about Meles’s health when he missed a two-day African Union summit on Sunday and Monday, apparently for the first time.
Meles’s wife, herself a lawmaker, had declined to talk to reporters about her husband, who has been at the helm of the Horn of Africa nation since 1991.
One of last times Meles was seen in public was at the G20 meeting in Mexico on June 19.
Dozens of African heads of state visited Ethiopia for the summit, including newly elected Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, the first to do so since an assassination attempt in Ethiopia on former president Hosni Mubarak in 1995.

i’m pretty sure that if you’re gonna cite somebody (AFP), you shouldn’t change their words (i.e. “dictator,” “Woyane”).

Elias didn’t find those words appropriate to the blood sucker hound named Legesse. He is right to replace those words to fit this rotting dictator. Ha!

You rather include words like “killer”, “murderer”, “butcher”, “autocrat “, “robber”, etc to explain about Meles Zenawi.
