[edit] Use of apostrophe

Yes, the addition of the apostrophe to the title in recent days makes it match the spelling of the Ethiopian government, but they're the only ones who use the apostrophe. It doesn't make logical or grammatical sense in English because "Peoples" is plural in this sense. Thoughts from Ethiopia experts? Badagnani 09:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

The proper English plural possessive of "people" is "peoples'". (Apostrophe after the "s".) -- llywrch 20:56, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it should be possessive in this case. Badagnani 02:36, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

I think that we should be focussing more on the fiancial aspects of the southern nations rather the geography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.167.231.27 (talk • contribs)
