NotesIt's impossible to keep the pages updated, when they are not for business.If you are not a webmaster, you don't understand it. We live during the times when people do not read. In 1995 I came from Addis Ababa with the sense of "vanishing nature" -- Ethiopia had its moment in the 20th century... now it's gone. Regional, provincial. Never mind the last sunset of the Cold War geo-political games (Mengistu), Ethiopia sinks into the Dark Ages again, the centuries, or millenium of isolation. Six years ago I made our first Sellassie page -- Meuseum? I thought we still can keep the fire... I was wrong. Not in Ethiopia, not here. The flower was cut, the rest is for the historians. May 2004.
