Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi (57) died of a sudden infection while recovering from an illness at a hospital abroad, the African nation's state-run television said today.
Meles had not been seen in several weeks. The government said, in July, that he was taking a break to recover from an unspecified condition.
Rumours that Meles is seriously ill have been rife since the former guerrilla leader, in power since ousting Mengistu Haile Mariam's military junta in 1991, failed to attend an African Union summit in Addis Ababa, last month.
