Meles Zenawi
In this episode of The Big Interview, Jonathan Dimbleby travels to Ethiopia for an exclusive interview with Prime Minister Meles Zenawi.
Zenawi, who has led the African country since 1995, talks to Dimbleby about his government's education policies and the way in which they are being used as a catalyst for change.
Ethiopia's enrolment rate is up to 91.3 per cent at primary level, with the government having pledged to increase child literacy by 50 per cent by 2015.
But are these policies enough to make Ethiopia a lower middle-income country in 20 years? And how does the Prime Minister counter allegations that some of his actions make him nothing less than a run-of-the-mill African autocrat?

Please stay longer PM Meles Zenawi1 March 2010 - 09:33
I really thank mr Jonathon Dimbleby for this wonderful interview , you asked all the questions what we Ethiopians wanted to ask, I was always sceptic about the Meles Zenawi`s government by listening the oppositions, But now this interview and my visit to Ethiopia has given me the right explanation of what the governments plan for Ethiopia , it is so amazing so much changes within 10 years , The number of universities and schools has grown dramatically.
Dear PM meles Zenawi we want you to stay longer!......please stay longer !

I so much admire the interview that Jonathan Dimbleby carried out. it shows me that he is really interested in other people's business and well being. this doesn't mean he was being nosey but curiouse as to how ethiopia is doing. i would also like to thank the president of ethiopia for being honest and trying hard to improve his people's life and not concentrate on running an election again but choose to leave without being asked.
