Live from the Zenawi speech

We're coming at you live from the highly-contested, protested, and counter-protested Zenawi speech in Roone Arledge. Keep checking back for updates.

5:06: Zenawi says he welcomes engagement, and he's glad to see students caring enough to learn about Ethiopia. He says that Ethiopia is making progress, which everyone is invited to come see for themselves. And that's a wrap!

5:03: No more questions. Zenawi will offer some closing remarks.

4:58: Q: What are your thoughts on term limits? A: Ethiopia has a parliamentary system, Zenawi's saying. A parliamentary system is just as democratic as a presidential system. "In case you are wondering whether I will remain in power until kingdom come, i can assure you that this will be my last term in power."
