Ethiopia: Premier reportedly buys
sophisticated security equipment from Ukraine It was learnt that Prime Minister Meles has bought special security
equipment. According to a reliable source, the prime minister is in a serious
crisis than ever before after the ruling on Badme [disputed border town which
was later awarded to Eritrea] was officially announced. He is so busy to
reverse the ruling made by [the Ethiopia Eritrea Boundary Commission]... The new security equipment was bought from Ukraine last week. The new
security equipment is so special that when Meles alights or tries to enter
into his vehicle a bullet proof shield will emerge automatically and enclose
the premier in the middle of two rows of shields. Meles was forced to buy
such sophisticated equipment after he learnt a meeting held against him by
some ruling party officials. After the premier learnt of the said meeting,
his close associates - Sebhat Nega and others - who used to visit the premier
without problem are told to book for appointment if they want to see Meles. Publication date: 2003-04-26 |
