International Organizations leadership what is at stake?

Read the article below from 'The Economist' magazine and you will understand what the stake is and why Tedros Adhanom was able to get the votes of majority of non-western countries. In short they were voting for Ethiopia or any other non-western nation. 

These positions were given by default to Westerners (mostly white men) for decades. Majority of non-western countries decided to end this when the choice was between a non-western and a Western (British). 

It is good we have nothing to do with the final selection. It could have been embarassing and we could have been laughed at & scorned. Worse, we could have ended stabbing Ethiopia from the back because of petty tribal mentality ( at least by some). I am aware of his affiliation with the hated TPLF regime. However, there is also a thing called 'hold your nose and do the right thing' understanding what the stake is for Ethiopia or the majority of underrepresented nations.

The short story of Injera making at industrial scale.

This video clip reminds of me the story of the Ethiopian Environmental Engineer in U.S. who invented similar machine for industrial scale production of Injera 2 decades ago and and wanted to make it operational in Ethiopia. You can read some more details of the story in Harry  Kloman's book 'Mesob in America' or in my forthcoming article tentatively titled 'Ethiopian Food & Drinks in North America:  Culinary & migration history'. The details may not be as accurate as i would like them to be but I will try to summarize and provide the general contour of the story.  

In addition to achieving more production with much less energy use, the Engineer had hoped that his machine replacing the traditional way of making Injera will contribute immensely for reduction of the health hazard Injera-gagaris (bakers) are exposed to by inhaling smoke from coal or woods as well as reduction of the environmental hazard by protecting the forests which were cut for use in injera making. He wanted to these women to be employed in injera making factories instead. 

Well you may ask what happened to that plan or how come it was not operational?

Yes, you guessed it right, after many years since the original application and too much bureaucracy TPLF/MLLT demanded that the blueprint and patent info has to be shared with their EFFORT endowed enterprise (I believe Mesfin Engineering). I was told the Engineer refused and that became the end of it.
