🚨 Ethiopia heads to polls as Nobel Peace Laurette President Abiy Ahmed eyes landslide victory.
Known for tough stance and crackdown opposition and the media, most prominent the international media; many in Ethiopia don't feel their opposing voices will count.

Polls are scheduled for Monday, 1st June .
