Euphamistic news ... This is CNN
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (Reuters) -- Ethiopian opposition leader Hailu Shawel said on Saturday the government had put him and his family under house arrest a day after it threatened to detain opposition leaders if violence over recent elections persisted.
but their were no election irregularities huh Jimmy
Witnesses said journalists who went to interview Hailu at home were roughed up and their cameras confiscated. But diplomats had been allowed to see the opposition leader.
Protests began on Monday, defying a ban ordered by Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, after weeks of opposition allegations that the ruling Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front(EDRDF) intimidated voters and rigged elections last month.
Next time some one tells you about Jimmy Carter's humanitarian reputation.. tell them about how he screwed up Ethiopia
