The press conference had just finished where the 2 leaders addressed the media and took questions from the journalists and walked out into the lobby, Prime Minister Daseleygn Halemariam and the U.S. President gave the photographers a chance to take some photos.

They shook hands, and as they walked Mr Helemariam said, "You know, I have just one question about America."

The President said, "Well, fire away!".

The Ethiopian Prime Minister lowered voice and said, "My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it there is Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, Uhura who is Black and Sulu who is Japanese, but there are no Ethiopians! My son is very upset and doesn't understand why there aren't any Ethiopians on Star Trek."

The President leaned toward the Prime minister, and whispered back, "That's because it takes place in the future".

The current events in Tigrey occupied Oromia suggest The Caano Boodhe Federation of Ethiopia is nearing its end and soon shell began the Balkanization process. I pray to the Almighty and AllMercifull creator of all creation that it is a Peacefull process!
