Welcoming the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, His Excellency Dr. Abiy Ahmed for a public forum in Minnesota on Monday July 30th, 2018.
On July 30, 2018, the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, H.E. Dr. Abiy Ahmed and his delegation will visit the Ethiopian communities in Minnesota. The aims are to create awareness of new development in Ethiopia and encourage the Ethiopians in diaspora to play supportive role in the ongoing peace and democratization process. This event will be open to all Ethiopians and friends without any registration or entrance fee.
The Prime Minister has achieved momentous accomplishments including freed political prisoners and journalist, lifted the State of Emergency, opened political spaces and invited exiled politicians back to the country.
He also brokered peace with the neighboring country, Eritrea, which will lead to immense opportunities for peace and security in the Horn of Africa. The reformist aspiration by the current administration has given Africa’s second most populous country of 105 million people tremendous hope for lasting peace and prosperity. This incredible achievement made in the last three months under the new prime minister is acknowledged by the people of Ethiopia and the international community.
After more than two decades of totalitarian rule, Ethiopia is embarking on a journey to democratization. The Ethiopians in diaspora acknowledge the efforts of the Prime Minister H.E Dr. Ahmed who has been working tirelessly to create a national consensus and strengthening unity among the people of the country for the last three months.
