Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s office says he is back in the office “temporarily.”
“Following the successful conclusion of the first phase of the ‘Operation for National Unity in Diversity,'” they claim.
The prime minister’s statement was tweeted by the office:
In the continuing civil conflict, which began in Tigray last year, the prime minister has been on the front lines.
Federal forces have been engaged in combat with insurgents from the north.
Mr. Abiy has recently declared victory after government soldiers seized areas previously controlled by the insurgents.
The rebels, on the other hand, claim to have strategically withdrawn from the territories.
Mr. Abiy also issued the following warning: “The fight isn’t yet ended. There are still a some places that haven’t been liberated. We must find a long-term solution to ensure that the foe who tested us does not become a threat to Ethiopia in the future.”
