Meles Zenawi : an extraordinary legacy on environment and development
By Nicholas Stern - It is one year since the death of Meles Zenawi, one of the world's and Africa's most remarkable leaders.
Meles Zenawi left college at the age of 19 in 1975 to fight against the Derg; after 16 years that brutal military regime was overcome and he led Ethiopia, first as President, then as Prime Minister, for two decades.
The sorrow we feel right now is unimaginable. However it would have been worst had Meles and our unsung heroes had failed to leave us a country with a bright future! They did not and we will remember them forever and cherish their legacy! Meles we miss you very much! Meles rest assured we have carried on from where you left and things are okay! (Aigaforum August 2013)
