...power, the competing guerrilla bands have achieved a relative peace and joined in a transitional government. The death toll has fallen from 10,000 people a , month to a few hundred. Where torture and disappearances once silenced opposition voices, Ethiopians now feel free to voice their demands and even shout insults at President Meles Zenawi, a democratic exercise he withstands calmly. "That's their right," says Meles. With the recent rains, even the gods seem to be smiling on the drought-ravaged land...
Cloud even asked me why we were trying to stop Hoge from teaching this class. I explained to Cloud that we were doing nothing of the sort.

They are cut off, with vacuum-cleaner noises and a woman's scream in the background...
...movie never satisfactorily explains how all these natural enemies avoid bumping into one another outside the bathroom door. But then they are, even the homegrown Nazi, very circumspect people. Their tendency is to mutter their ideological passions, not shout them. For they are, most basically, village folk, more interested in restoring the sustaining continuities of their lives than they are in maintaining their high wartime dudgeons...
