Gather around, kids! And I’ll sing you a tune of how ol’ William Davison, senior analyst at Crisis Group, has organized a mutual support group to keep interfering in Ethiopian Affairs. …

Revoking Tom Gardner’s Media License in Ethiopia is a VERY good thing. I have an old Elton John tune going through my head, though slightly revised lyrics for the sad piano: “Goodbye, English Doofus…” No, I will not be respectful. No, I will not modify my language when it comes…
