allAfrica.com: Ethiopia: Making Oneself, Country a Laughing Stock (Page 1 of 1): "The drama that is being played out by the pardoned CUD leaders and their Ethiopian supporters in the diaspora has made the party itself and its leaders as well as their country a laughing stock.

According to ‘Hamerhav’ principal, Rabbi Yeshiyahu Granvich, complete integration of the girls was impossible. The reason being, said municipal workers, was that the students were not observant enough, nor did their families belong to the national-religious movement that the school was founded upon. Among the differences in the daily school life of the girls, a single teacher was responsible to teach them all of their subjects. Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"
