TREE NEWS update: Ethiopia’s federal parliament convened on 5 December to form a new government and approved Abiy Ahmed as prime minister, after which he was sworn in before the assembly. Abiy’s Prosperity Party won the parliamentary elections held in June. The vote and oath of office formalize his new term leading the government.

The open question is whether a new term brings any change in policy execution, or simply more of the same.
