Ethiopian Opposition Politician Andargachew Tsege
Zeinab Badawi speaks to the Ethiopian opposition politician Andargachew Tsege who was released from prison in May after spending four years on death row.
The new Ethiopian government is making dramatic reforms in the country: the state of emergency had been lifted, the military and intelligence chiefs have been replaced and opposition politicians have been released en masse from prison. One of those released is Andargachew Tsege a prominent opposition leader from the organisation Patriotic Ginbot 7. He had been on death row in an Ethiopian jail for four years. Will his group renounce violence and will he go back to Ethiopia to help build the country's future?
