Ethiopian PM Meles Zenawi dead

. BBC Online
The body of long-time Ethiopian PM Meles Zenawi is lying in state at the national palace in Addis Ababa, where it will stay until his funeral.
Thousands of people poured onto the streets of the capital on Tuesday evening as his casket arrived from the Belgian capital Brussels.
Meles, who was 57, died suddenly from an infection while being treated in hospital there, authorities said.
The leader's death has sparked fears of instability in Ethiopia.
State media say Deputy Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn will take over until elections in 2015.
But Meles' administration has been hard on the opposition and some fear the new prime minister may not be firm enough to deal with the underlying political tension, says the BBC's Noel Mwakugu in Addis Ababa.
Meles has been praised for bringing development and economic growth to Ethiopia, but critics say they came at the cost of respect for plurality and human rights.
