ETV news does not even mention electing replacement for Meles is on the agenda. What a retarded news.
The decision that they finally reached at the meeting was to ask daispora’s diplomats such as the Ethiopian National Transitional Council , The Crown Council Of Ethiopia and so on to mediate the division that is created between TPLF and non-TPLF EPRDF members in order to reach agreement on the current issues of appointing people.
