Ethiopia, a country suffering internal security challenges, now has a new ministry – a Ministry for Peace.
An interesting development has given that the size of ministries have also been downsized.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced that government was going to function with only twenty ministries, down from the previous twenty-eight.
No official reasons have so far been given.
Abiy Ahmed since coming into office in April has led to massive changes across all strata of the country’s structure.
His impact has stretched from the political and democratic landscape, the economic and social through to the sub-region where he is credited for offering and actualizing peace with Eritrea after decades of hostilities.
