Now seems like a good time to repost my article from last month on UnHerd.com, in which I discussed Dr, Abiy Ahmed’s amazing accomplishments during his initial year as Prime Minister of Ethiopia – pacifying crippling protests from the country’s two largest ethnic groups, brokering a peace deal to end the bloody stalemate with neighboring Eritrea, and ending a decades-long schism within the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. I also look at the even more challenging road ahead as Abiy seeks to unify the deeply divided country and introduce true democracy for the first time in Ethiopian history.
