Ethiopia’s new Prime Minister is Abiy Ahmed, head of EPRDF’s Oromo bloc

State-affiliated FANA Broadcasting Corporate (FBC) reported late Tuesday that the Ethiopian Peoples Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) had elected Abiy as its chairperson.

His rise to become Prime Minister – head of government – is premised on approval by the Front’s Council and subsequent approval by the parliament. Political watchers hold that that process is a mere formality.

Reports indicate that current deputy Prime Minister, Demeke Mekonnen will maintain his post. Abiy is leader of the Oromo bloc of the EPRDF – the Oromo Peoples Democratic Organization (OPDO). He is also the first Premier from the Oromia region – Ethiopia’s largest and most populous regional state.

The Addis Standard news portal reports that he garnered 108 votes out of a possible 180 to emerge the winner. Abiy takes over from Hailemariam Desalegn who resigned his post in mid-February, according to him to allow for political reforms promised by the EPRDF in early January 2018.

He assumes leadership of the East African security and economic giant in a time of heated political crisis emanating from his state, Oromia. Anti-government protests in Oromia and northern Amhara region have riled the country since 2015 till early this year.

It has since led to two state of emergencies over a two-year period. The first was between October 2016 to August 2017 with the latest round declared in February barely 24-hours after the resignation of his predecessor.

    Thanks to the gallant EPLF and Weyane fighters who freed Ethiopia and the Ormos from the Dergue.

    The minions who need to shut up are the ones who are living in Abeedist slavery. who worship everything across the Red Sea by burning their own languages and identity.

    Give full credit to the Ethiopians who fought hard, even more credit to the Oromo people who made great deal of changes in their own identity, languages and heritage.
    The Oromos deserve to be leaders of Ethiopia because they have respect to their own language, identity and heritage.
    Show me an Oromo at this stage in history who hated his own Oromiffa language and the Oromo identity. None!!
    In Eritrea, many of the worthless “elites” are still ashamed to speak and use in their own languages of Tigre -Tigrinya and ashamed of their own past history and ancestors.
    People who are ashamed of their own languages and identity can not be leaders nor followers, except to live in slavery.
    Africans need to learn from the renaissance of the Oromo people and identity

        How about biZemen HatellaGuzay zimeshimeshe poisonous HatellaGuzay snake shit? Anta tsaHitsaHi diQala hatella, once the savage evil muslim is in charge or in full power as PM in Eritrea, you will be bloody washing your stinky HatellaGuzay backside 5 times a day, your HatellaGuzay mother and sisters would be in evil Islamic hijabs and your kondaf HatellaGuzay Gereaneniya father would also be bending facing to savage Saudi Arabia praying to evil allah and also following the barbarian Arabic sha’ria laws. You should’ve died with your criminal barbaric evil Islamic ELF mendef shefatu/bandits sibling or with that jihadi Akriya dog evil haji mussa who died for evil jihad.

        • Dawit March 29, 2018

          addition: that jihadi Akriya dog evil haj mussa who died for evil jihad like a typical barking dog but unlike you diQala HatellaGuzay poisonous snake he would be claiming his 72 evil muslims (he might actually be rewarded double of 72 evil muslim virgins) as an evil haj who calls youngsters to wreck (with evil Islamic trade mark of bloodshed, destruction, mayhem and savage killings) in poor Asmara streets. Simon G aka Suleiman bin Gereaneniya of HatellaGuzay shit, rot in your diQala Islamic hell with your muslim PM.

        Ethiopians aren’t that dummy to choose a back-warded Muslim . Dr.Abiy is a adherent to Christian religion with all his family, wife and children. And is also among the most fanatic Christian Pentecostal denomination and member of a Full Gospel Church. Eritrea and Ethiopia will continue to be the Islands of Judaeo-Christian values for decades and centuries of time to come…ONCE AGAIN, PLAIN AND CLEAR MESSAGE, ETHIOPIANS haven’t chosen that member of a rascal religion,Islam.

      It doesn’t matter how many times they change prime minister the main problem is the evil shaebia the evil president of eritrea. ..Eritrea is the instrument of evil so has to be change,

  • Dawit March 29, 2018

    Brother Tesfai the great, I couldn’t agree more with your brilliant as usual comment and observation. Please keep it up as you, brother Rezen and also brother Michael T/mariam make a lot of sense unlike the rest dekieraymirayat goHafat.

    • Dawit March 29, 2018

      Best wishes to Ethiopia and to Dr. Abiy Ahmed who had been elected as a Chairman of EPRDF. The civilized and peace loving Ethiopian Muslims are not like the ROOTLESS CANCEROUS lowland mercenaries muslims who burn our Eritrean language/text books so that they will have their savage evil muslim Arab slave dogs masters “Arabic”, they burn our Kunama villages savagely. they rob our poor peasants mercilessly, they savagely go on cattle rustling and unashamedly declare evil jihad and sha’ria on Eritrea, they are unashamedly still fighting for an evil Arabic flag and alien Arabic language for poor Eritrea. The peaceful and advanced Ethiopian Muslims never burn Ethiopian languages/text books, never burn Ethiopian villages, never rob poor Ethiopian peasants, NEVER demand for the evil Arabic language, Arabic diQala flag or sha’ria law with stinky hijabs for the rest of Ethiopians.

        Shilan nebsi,
        You now are back as yet with a brand new nick, dawit. Good for you!
        As you have seen it for sure, there is a Whole Article (from brother Fetsum) about you, Shilalogy
        I can’t blame you, you are just sick. Take a look at the last paragraph (copy & paste from the article)
        ———————————————————————–

        “Brothers and sisters; from the whole picture grasped to this point, based on material proof, experts on the field, the professional who accidentally motivated me to research, behavioral patter and Shilalogical Psychology, Shilan is what happened to him, probably a victim of sexually abused childhood within the immediate family. It is no longer about his Agazian nonsense anymore but his concrete physio-psychological condition we should worry about as a member of our family, immaterial whether Tigrian or Eritrean by birth. Don’t please personalize his resentment of life any longer.

        There is a way out of the trauma and we must help the brother if he tells his childhood experience to people of his choice.”

    Sully nebsi aka poisonous Embassoyra, Zgeremo tsaHitsaHi hatella, simon.g – Suleiman bin Gereaneniya al HatellaGuzay shitty with all poisonous deQalu snakes.
    That little bore of a human diaper aka scavenger crock ghetto brat Fitsum Mohammedin of no fixed address, no fixed job, identity, religion of known parents. He is a poor loner miserable beggar (changing from evil mosques to DC bars)
    That colossal human diaper is too rotten to last another two weeks. But, I’ve to admit that sometimes I despair thinking about all the poison he pumps into his poor confused deQalu and gullible innocent assenna readers. But then, I take heart when I remember what a mind numbing bore this human diaper is. I chose to ignore him out of pity and also as not to give him personal fame. Otherwise, once a rug head crock then always the same old rug head crock.
    Wedi Gereaneniya poisonous HatellaGuzay snake, a man was robbed by thieves on his way to his home (somewhere in HatellaGuzay stinky shit). He was in a very awkward situation as he was left with his underwear only. Apart from the challenge of the cold, he was more worried about being seen naked. Then, someone he knew in his village (meretse fesawi biAfu village) came to his help and offered an advice: “I don’t have spare cloths to give you. But since you are not very far from your house, put your underwear on your head and mask off your face and walk up to the point of your house, and put back your underwear to cover your private the moment you reached your house door before your family members see you like this”. Why do you advise me to mask my face instead of my private in the first place? asked the naked man! The 2nd man explained, that is because you might save yourself from more embarrassment of walking naked. Remember, nobody will tell who you are by looking at your private parts but your face….(especially when it is an ugly scavenger beggars/crock face like Fitsum Mohammedin’s). And that has to be reversed when you get home. Then, the naked man was suddenly happy and shinning with a smile of relief on his face! Ahhhhha I got it; you must have been through the same problem to have known all this, that means I’m not alone to go through this kind of bizarre experience! The 2nd man was amazed to have seen the worry of the naked man suddenly gone away from his look. OK, he said to him smiling back, that is fine if it makes you feel better but you still are naked and have to do something about it before your embarrassment becomes worse! Similarly with poor scavenger beggar/crock Fitsum, he is just a naked loner beast but I wish my sexy organic “shilan” wasn’t banned to respond to him savagely and instantly. He also unashamedly claims to have worked “on and off for some time” and also he plans for an “early retirement”, what a joke!! Just translate my my beautiful/pure AGAZIAN language to his ghetto brat evil diQala Islamic language. Adios.

    • Dawit March 29, 2018

      Small addition: this sad loser and miserable loner has no real family, no real job (life long welfare scavenger/dependent), no fun without proper job or family hence has to beg in evil muslim mosques but is promoted to beg in DC bars nowadays!!!! Who wouldn’t feel sorry for this beggar/crock??? Sully nebsi, please ask him if he actually went to Sahel to educate/train your shefatu/bandits ELF mendef beasts on how to blow up bridges “electrically or mathematically”??? He has also converted to buddhism shit for personal gains that is of a typical opportunist beggar/scavenger crock beast. Let’s hope the monks burn him alive or chop him into pieces savagely at last. He’d be better off dying than living in a miserable disgusting loner life.

      Calm down , it is what it is .
      New Ethiopian prime minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed from Oromo ethnicity . Prepare to get used

      Do not worry about Eritrea . You better make peace with your Ethiopian Moslems or else .
      For the time being Tylenol might help incase your head starts to spin .

    Dani,
    I hope you did not energize him by explaining his x-x family tree. This guu, till yesterday he was glued to Gash-Barka and howling about some burned notebooks. Today I see him making the same noise from the green fields of Oromia. As usual he is howling about the future holds for Oromia and Ethiopia. This guy must be the fastest gypsy ever discovered. Could he be magical gypsy with a fixed flying wings.

        As to the East African jypsy >
        There were two scenarios:
        First thanks to brother Festum’s article. It was like kerbe smoke for him. Second, thanks to the Ethiopian premier election. After Abi Ahmed’s election he has moved to Finfine, Ethiopia. I gues his dream is to read the premier’s palm, not knowing though Finfine have plenty of fortune tellers of its own. He is now the spoken person of the Ormo people and their language Afaan oromoo (I guess). Finally, no more ELF, no more Tigre books, no more name calling, no more, ….no more… no more. Boy! after he finishes hi mission I hope he stays there at (Finfine) help writing whatever stories for Fulfulu.

    Open massage for commentators and ASSENNA staff,.
    Fist to brother fetsum ☆
    Second to Amanuel iyasu ♤
    Last, shilan nebsi ♡.

    My point is, fetsum has tried to help shilan but killed him. More than expected. Fetsum’s technical support transformed from shilalogy
    to dawilogy if not doglogy.

    Amanuel iyasu trays to accommodate patients in his physiotherapy clinic which runout necessary remedies because has no option at all.

    Now, I must come to shilan. Shilan is under gunpoint owned by by himself. If he knows who handed him that gun then become normal.

    Thank you.

  • Zgeremo March 29, 2018

    Dear Assenna staff
    Some of what I read in this form is complete madness and illegal.
    Divisive personalities such as Shilan and now Dawit … are engaged in creating division among the Eritrean population. He and his likes pretend to be Eritreans but clearly they have a different agenda which perhaps goes beyond PFDJ’s divide and rule tactic. The Shilens and the dawits … seem to crave for the destruction of the Eritrean population. They target Muslims and Akeleguzai, and God knows who they will target next.

    This forum would be enriched if you would have guidelines that all of us must follow. Diversity of ideas are welcome but what is being tolerated on this forum is really disgusting.
    Can you not bar such wild insults. They use the same insults repeatedly!

    Assenna, many people will consider that you are closing an eye for ulterior reason. As I said previously, if this forum is not monitored to be a place for dialogue and debate, the I would rather disable it. We do not need division, we need unity!

    Thank you

    Amasing transition in Africa

    I send my blessing to the Ethiopian people for choosing their PM peacefully.
    Though lot of evil forces are around them trying to immerse that country into disaster and chaos but their wisdom overcame all the obstacles.

    This peaceful transition of power is going to be a headache to the dictator in Eritrea who dreamed bad day and night.

    Eritrea need to be vigilant and a strong Ethiopia is a good source for the future strong Eritrea and a matual benefit comes only if your neighbour is in peace.

    Once again Ethiopia is showing a good sign to many African countrie.
    Though tough but they are doing fine and i pray they solve all the issues people are raising.
