This was Meles Zenawi, the former leader of the nation of Ethiopia and the man considered to be the leading architect of Ethiopia post the rule of the dictator Mengistu Haile Marian and the Derg.
Meles Zenawi was lauded for his shrewdness and intelligence as he led one of Africa’s most populous nations for more than two decades, steering it along the path of economic growth while clamping down on dissent.

This is the story of the paradox that is Meles Zenawi, the former leader of Ethiopia and his country’s complex history…
