“My argument is that the neo-liberal paradigm is a dead end, is incapable of bringing about the African renaissance, and that a fundamental shift in paradigm is required to bring about the African renaissance…” – a quote from Meles Zenawi’s recent paper on African development.

Meles, who presides over the worst economy in the world, tries to present himself as an expert in development. His parasitic dictatorship is an obstacle to the growth of Ethiopian economy. For Africa to prosper, it must cleanse itself of corrupt dictatorships like that of the Meles regime.
