Destination | August 23, 2013 Interview: Asgede G. Selassie of Arena Tigray, a member of Medrek Ethiomedia August 23, 2013 Asgede G Selassie [Photo: right] is an Arena Tigray/Medrek opposition party official. The fearless opposition figure freely campaigns to promote Arena/Medrek. “Corruption is widespread,” says Asgede, and “this has resulted in the further impoverishment of the Ethiopian people.” He covers many important topics… I met Asgede in Silver Spring, MD, when the Ethiopian Sports Federation in North America (ESFNA) festival was in full swing at the end of June and early July. The interview in Amharic is for an Ethiopian audience, and our apologies for those who don’t know the language. – Abraha Belai, Editor, Ethiomedia.com Ethiomedia.com – An African-American news and views website.
