Ethiopia’s \u00a0dictatorial ruling party on Saturday named as its leader acting Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn<\/a>, who took over after the death last month of longtime \u00a0dictator Meles Zenawie<\/span>, an official said at the end of a congress of party bosses and internal dispute that lasted over two month and which is still continuing.<\/p>\n

As chairman of the Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front, or EPRDF, Hailemariam, 47, will almost certainly be confirmed as the country’s prime minister in an upcoming official ceremony.\u00a0Bereket Simon<\/span>, Ethiopia’s communications minister said Hailemariam would be sworn in soon. It remains unclear exactly when, but Bereket said this might happen early next month.<\/p>\n

Since the party holds an overwhelming majority the party’s chair since the dumped election of 2010, he will automatically is the country’s prime minister, according to Bereket said. “So Hailemariam will be the country’s new prime minister\u201d. This would be true only if the internal factional power crisis did not explode in public and accelerate the end of the regime.<\/p>\n

A 180-member council of the EPRDF appointed Hailemariam unanimously and also selected Education Minister Demeke Mekonnen<\/span>\u00a0to become deputy chairman. The ruling party controls 545 of the 547 seats in parliament, guaranteeing swift passage of its resolutions.<\/p>\n

Hailemariam ascension to the ruling party’s top leadership signals that he is just warming the seat for someone else and that behind party officials will use as a symbolic \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0head, And are not keen to respect the wishes of Melees, who picked Hailemariam from obscurity and made him foreign minister and deputy prime minister without contributing to the coming of the ruling junta to power through the barrel of the gun.<\/p>\n

For international observer especially for the competing interests the US and China that the ruling party would pick Hailemariam, who promises to continue the domestic and foreign policies in their respective favor.\u00a0 Since he does not have the true power in his hand to harness his decision making will be highly hampered by unfinished internal faction disputes of TPLF and EPRDF. (Tigrian and Ethnical parties)<\/p>\n

It seems they are obliged but to go through with appointing Hailemariam since the last two month they could not arrive to find a true successor \u00a0\u00a0of Melees Zenawie. Hailemariam is a choice by default till the internal power struggle for succession finally settles. It has been impossible for the ruling party the last two month to find replacement that is acceptable to the four coalition members and the different factions that made them last over one month old to declare Dictator Melees Zenawie death to public. . His official death was declared one month after on Aug. 20 of an undisclosed illness in a Belgian hospital.\u00a0 His bosses \u00a0praised him for his obedience,\u00a0 the great majority of\u00a0 Ethiopian and their supporters s saw him as a tyrant who restricted freedoms, including free speech and free press:-<\/p>\n
