I was watching the News Break on BBC. I saw two Black leaders, South Africa and UN. I was wondering why Mele's the poster boy of Tony Blair was missing. My wife showed me a shadowy figure behind Bush. It looked like Meles was hiding behind Bush. Can you confirm. If this is the case it shows I am not a good political observer. My bet was Meles will be advised not to show up.
What you saw was Melese playing his usual roll whenever he is called by his owners. Melese was simply assuming his role as "Sambo". He has to maintain his position behind his masters, i.e. a distance no greater than three yards behind his owners, so he could hear his masters commands.
