Ethiopians mourn late PM Meles Zenawi
Thousands of Ethiopians descended on the centre of the capital Addis Ababa to mourn Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, their firm-handed ruler of more than two decades, whose body was flown home after his death in a Brussels hospital at 57. Supporters mourned him as the saviour of a long-suffering nation and traffic was congested from the airport to his residence, where his body was to be put on display.
