This is something that the Meles government needs to work on.

Meles encountered his first real challenge in the 2005 elections.

"Why should Meles be expected to negotiate when he's under occupation?"

The Meles government has been praised for its productive safety net programme.

"They are, at the very least, messenger boys of a terrorist organisation," Meles said.

Political leaders, states and institutitions offered their thoughts on Meles following his death.

But this is necessary, Meles noted, to prevent famine conditions and ensure security.

Meles was the reported father of three children.

Also, Meles is increasingly reducing the political space in Ethiopia.

He speculated that Meles ordered troops to shoot at protesters.

Mr. Meles's group is expected to be allotted the greatest number of seats - perhaps 32.

Some believe Meles wanted Aferwerki to remain in power, despite their deep disagreements.

Mr. Meles emphasized that the first priority of the interim administration was to establish order.

But some question whether the Meles Government is exploiting the red terror to score propaganda points.

The rebels now form the backbone of President Meles's Government.

But that would actually hurt the poorest of the poor, at no cost to Mr. Meles.

-Dimbleby questioning Meles on his exposure to the people.

He was a close aide of former prime minister Meles Zenawi since their university days.

Meles Zenawi's administration was the first to introduce private press in Ethiopia.

Another issue promoted by Meles Zenawi has been economic development in "green fashion."

He was succeeded by his son, Meles.

While the government acknowledged that Meles had been hospitalised, it stated that his condition was not serious.
