Excellent choice…..confident she will maintain or more likely exceed the excellent work started by Birtukan Mideksa.
Yes sir! Watch now how our women show us how a public institution is supposed to run. I hope our women will take the mantle of governing that country in all its facets soon. We the men have been making enough mess one after another for a long time. Our women should take away that authority peacefully and tell us the men, to go back way back in line for the next one hundred years. That country will then have virtual peace and stability.
