Abiy Ahmed

Abiy Ahmed is the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, serving since April 2018. He is notable for implementing significant political and economic reforms, promoting peace and reconciliation within Ethiopia and with neighboring Eritrea, which ended a long-standing conflict. Abiy was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019 for these efforts. However, his leadership has faced challenges, including ethnic tensions and conflict in the Tigray region, which has led to humanitarian crises. Abiy's tenure reflects a complex balance of reform, reconciliation, and the ongoing struggle with internal divisions in Ethiopia.
