[Addis Standard] Addis Abeba -- When I was a kid, I thought democracy was unique to Greece and only Greeks would do better exercising. This was partially true since I didn't grow up in a democratic culture. I was born and raised in Ethiopia, which has for many decades been a hostile environment for democracy. What I did not know at the time was that a new type of democracy was taking root in one of the world's most dangerous and corrupt countries, our tiny neighbor, Somaliland.
