Ethiopian Prime Minister expresses condolences to the UK
Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi has expressed his deep anguish over the terrorist attacks that occurred in London yesterday.
In a message of condolence sent to British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Prime Minister Meles said “these barbaric acts were calculated to wreak havoc in an indiscriminate manner on civilians and probably create problems of the successful outcome of the G8 Summit.”
"We vehemently condemn such barbaric acts for which there can be no justification whatsoever," Meles said.
“In these hours of sorrow and grief, our condolences and solidarity go to those who have lost loved ones and to the government of the United Kingdom whose determination to fight such savage acts has our full support.”
