Obama honors Ethiopia's dictatorship by visiting the country on the eve of a rigged election that resulted in 100% parliamentary seats going to the ruling party. Obama has time and again betrayed the promise he made in Cairo and Accra to stand for freedom and democracy. To utter disappointment of African youth who were initially inspired by his words, he turned out to be the opposite of what he was claiming. He famously said Africa is in need big insitution not big men. However, he turned out to be the best pal for some of the longest reining and brutal tyrants of the continent, patting them on the back either by bringing them to DC or visiting their capitals. Shame!
