Ethiopia: Parliament session on Meles succession delayed

 
 Ethiopia's Deputy Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn at a news conference in Addis Ababa on 17 August 2012
 
No reason has not been given for the delay. But officials say the appointment of Deputy Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn is not in dispute.
Mr Meles, 57, died suddenly on Monday from an infection while being treated in hospital in Brussels.
His body has been lying in state at the national palace in the capital.
A state of national mourning has been declared but no date for the funeral has been set.
Mr 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.
He had not been seen in public for weeks before his death was announced, and there had been increasingly intense speculation about his health - though authorities insist he had been on the road to recovery when he was suddenly struck down by an infection.
There is still no confirmation of the details of his medical condition.
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE!!!!
