Ethiopian politics.

The other week at the resthome, one of my (Ethiopian) coworkers was saying that she really really likes the current prime minister of Ethiopia, and that she doesn't like American politics at all, and she made a face when she said 'American politics.'

"He's a nice man," she was like, going back to talking about the Prime Minister, and then she was like, "He does so much good, and everyone likes him."

Our one other (Ethiopian) coworker who was sitting there nodded and agreed with her, too.

My one coworker then pulled up the Prime Minister's picture and Wikipedia entry on her phone, and I read through it, and it had all this stuff in there about him freeing long-time political prisoners and reaching across ethnic boundaries and whatnot.

He did seem good, at least from Wikipedia.
