The Difference between Somali Politicians/Leaders and that of Ethiopia...

Post by TheLoFather »

In 1991, I asked Meles what he would like me to do to help him before I left, says a diplomat. To which Meles replied: “I need to learn something about economics, Can you get me some basic books?” Meles eventually sat for a long-distance learning degree from Britain’s Open University. He came in a remarkable third in his graduating class despite studying while governing one of Africa’s most populated countries.

Somali Leaders believe they know it all and look down upon the people that they lead acting out as the only ones who know what's good for the people and that they are the only ones who care about development of the people and country. Hence why they do not seek further knowledge and self improvement that would help them execute their duties and responsibilities more effectively and with wisdom.

Meles Zenawi proves that one can be learning and expand their horizon through education while still carrying out their political tasks.

Males Zenawi said the following:

“If you want political office and political legitimacy from the people, start by accepting the people as your equals. Don’t patronize them. They know better than you. Understand them, accept their views, and help them shape their own future. Do not try to shape the future for them. But leadership cannot be learned through theory alone. You must be in the thick of things and practice it.”

What say you?

Stockholm syndrome.

Melez never sat the exams, and being educated has nothing to do with being ethical.

A PhD in Economics like Gaas is right at this moment printing money to prop up a failing economy, knowing what that is causing to the people he represents i.e stealing from the income of every single puntlander haaye what does book learning have to do with being human.

Thats really true, Somalis do think they know better than everyone else.

Ethiopians don't have a false pride.

Sxb are you a selective reader or do you reading and comprehension difficulties?

This is part of the quote I posted above:
But leadership cannot be learned through theory alone. You must be in the thick of things and practice it.”
