Saying that he was frustrated by "broken promises" and "botched peace plans," Ali Mohamed Ghedi, the Prime Minister of Somaha'a interim government, the Transitional Federal Government (TFG), told reporters his nation was at a "critical crossroads. Ethiopia entered Somalia in February, with the backing of the TFG and the United States, allegedly to drive out terrorists. In a story on June 30, in the Ethiopian newspaper The Reporter, Meles Zenawi, prime minister of Ethiopia, stated: "Ethiopian troops had to stay in Somalia until the Somali people and government established a capable security force that would allow for the smooth conduct of the peace conference to be held soon.

Prime Minister Meles Zenawi bluntly defended his government's crackdown on dissenters, saying the trial of 131 opponents beginning today would vindicate his administration's tough actions. The 131 politicians, writers and activists "have been charged with crimes, and this is the normal process of the court," he said in an interview with The Washington Times. He urged his critics to listen to the evidence against the defendants, who face charges that include genocide, treason and undermining the constitution.
Kinfe Abraham, an adviser to Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, was in Washington recently, touching base with U.S. officials and the press to defend his leader's policies in the face of negative events that have shaken the regime to its core. The government of Ethiopia has acted in support of its people's national aspirations both at home and abroad," said Mr. Kinfe, who is also an ambassador at large for Ethiopia.
Shortly after May 15 elections in Ethiopia were deemed free and fair by on-the-scene observers, things turned ugly for the government of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. Demonstrations charging electoral fraud were outlawed by the government for a month. When the ban was ignored by the opposition Coalition for Unity and Democracy, police opened fire on the protesters, killing at least 36.
