100 days of sunshine on the Ethiopian sky and beyond – New Business Ethiopia

By Tesfu Telahoun – It's the rainy season in Ethiopia now, but with the emergence quite unexpected of a nearly messian prime minister, this might as well be the the hottest source

but constantly drawn from a political desert stubbornly conceived by the very Front to which our new Prime Minister belongs, we Ethiopians can hardly believe our ears and our eyes, but we are very aware of the beatings of heart of some 100 million hearts filled with hope. [19659004] Ridiculed and mocked just three months ago, state-run television and radio stations seem almost strange: honest journalism has withered so much over the last 27 years of lies, hate and hatred. hypocrisy and decadent corruption. Hate state media (up to here) are somewhat annoying – but in an exhilarating manner with which we get used quickly.

So, let it continue! ABIY just has one of the first 100 most successful days of a world leader in my memory. Here is a random list of 20 remarkable achievements during its prolific policy so far.

• Releases Thousands of Political Prisoners
• Secured the release of thousands of Ethiopians from prisons in Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Kenya and Djibouti among others. 19659007] Opens the political space and calls opposition groups "competition" and "my brothers with different ideas for the same goals" Ethiopia first. "

• Returnees of Saudi Arabia young Ethiopians in irreversi coma ble after botched medical procedure. Protects the Saudi authorities from compensation and coverage of medical expenses for life
• Reinforces the relations between Ethiopia and Eritrea. One of my favorite moments is the moment when the Pakistan Nobel Prize winner Malala Yusufzai, addressing the UN General Assembly, was quoted as follows: "A child, a pen, a notebook and teacher can change the world! "

That's right. For us, Ethiopians, Eritreans and even for the entire Horn of Africa, we have taken only one man with one goal: strength and prosperity through a shared unity. Despite all his popularity, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed was not a widely known figure in Ethiopia's opaque politics.

Without a doubt, we and the world will know him very well. Already, however, we can be sure of two things.

• Abiy is not afraid to make difficult decisions.
• Abiy follows his decisions

The decision to reset the relationship with Eritrea (or lack thereof) has This has been difficult if not impossible, given the hostility and the l? reciprocal opposition of the old guard of the TPLF / EPRDF and the "revolutionary democrats".

Some believe that the costly sacrifices made during the border between Ethiopia and Eritrea wars are still too painful, too crude to warrant even an icy rapprochement let alone the overall normalization of relations envisioned by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.

The wind of public opinion is yet firmly behind him and it is clear that he has inspired the incredibly positive and even delusional support of the people.

With so much accomplished in just three months, we look forward to what will happen as we pray fervently that it will not be all. a dream – and if that's the case, we do not want to wake up!
