        definitely, history for Africans. It is about time #women assumed these levels of reponsibility. #GENDERequality

        Engaging educated women like #SahleworkZewde is more politically correct to a situation where Ethiopia is in than any man who qualifies for the position. Women have been, and will be the pacifying force for my #Ethiopia.
