After getting rid of the old autocratic rule nearly three months ago, an Egyptian delegation comprised of 48 political and party leaders landed in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa on Friday in a first round of a “popular diplomacy” tour.  In its four-day tight schedule the delegation set to meet the speakers of the House of the People’s Representative and the House of the Federation, President Girma Wolde-Giorgis, The Ethiopian Orthodox church Patriarch Abune Pawlos and Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. The basic purpose of the delegation is ‘to boost people to people relation.’  but of course the issue of the Nile River is an unavoidable item for discussion.   The coordinator of the delegation was Mustafa Gindi, Secretary General of the al Wafd party.  The President of this ancient party al-Sayyed al-Badawy is also included in the delegation.
