Participated in the 4th support mission of the World Bank and IFAD for LLRPII, where I presented the project’s major accomplishments and success stories.
Today in Hawassa, Sidama Region, we proudly inaugurate the Toyo Phase 2, Origin, and Lumintech solar factories, alongside the HZ Gas plant at Hawassa Industrial Park.
Together, the solar facilities will generate 11.3 gigawatts of clean energy annually, while HZ Gas will supply 900 tons of oxygen, 40,000 tons of nitrogen, and 7 tons of hydrogen each year. These four projects have created numerous jobs, expanding opportunity and powering livelihoods. Their production capacity is immense, but so is Ethiopia’s potential!

Insularity, arrogance, and playing victim are the most defining characteristics of the militarist TPLF and its cohorts. The very same ethnocratic clique that murdered millions of Ethiopians in its brutal 27 years of misrule, that conducted systematic human rights violations bordering ethnic cleansing in Somali Region, and that ransacked and raped Amhara civilians 5 years ago, often talk about “Tigray genocide”, without any shame or regret. The day justice is finally served, the worst offenders of human rights will be those who, today, are pointing fingers at others.
TPLF-linked outlets, now deploying their recycled henchmen and colluding with enemies of the country, are back targeting the Somali Region. These are the same Bandas of the past, traitors and enemy-collaborators, architects and apologists of a brutal era.
Under their watch, the Somali Region suffered systematic repression, illegal detentions, torture, displacement, and killings. Those wounds are real. The victims are real. And justice is still pending.
Defeated on the battlefield, they refuse reflection. Instead, they return to their old script: misinformation, subversion, and destabilization.
They can shout. They can distort.
But they cannot erase history. The change train has left them behind. And this time, there will be no escape from accountability.
The Somali region government responded to the earlier misinformation about the statue of Sayid Mohamed Abdile Hassan by creating a positive version of it, turning it into a symbol of the town and developing more infrastructure for recreation and history learning about the Sayid.
Today we celebrate the inauguration of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam( GERD), a strategic asset and national pride, built through our collective efforts, sacrifices, and every penny contributed. This historic achievement embodies Ethiopia’s resilience and vision. It aligns with the Prosperity Party’s commitment to building a prosperous Ethiopia, anchored on unity, hard work, and shared progress.
Ethiopia has done it! Despite immense pressure, the #GERD stands tall as a symbol of our resilience & unity. I am overjoyed and deeply proud of the unwavering spirit of the Ethiopian people. This victory belongs to all of us! ❤️ #Ethiopia#Proud”

Together with the Minister of Irrigation and Lowlands, H.E Dr. Abraham Belay inaugurated Hadhagala Regional Livestock Laboratory, in Sitti Zone. The Laboratory is built with a total cost of ~130 million Birr and is expected to provide services for over 678,000 livestock. This is the fifth similar Laboratory constructed since 2018, which takes the total number of Regional Livestock Laboratories in the region to six. These facilities will strengthen livestock health and productivity, improve food safety and household incomes, and support regional and national disease control and outbreak response.
Also laid the foundation stone for the construction of a 30km gravel road which will link Hadhagala district with the fertile Gabi farmlands.
In line with the goal of providing basic services to rural communities, today, in the presence of Dr. Abraham Belay, Minister of Irrigation & Lowlands, a water supply project and a 40km gravel road project are inaugurated in Bilcilbuur district of Jarar Zone. With 24hr electricity supply and telecommunication network already installed earlier this year, Bilcilbuur’s transformation is having a positive ripple effect on the vast pastoral livelihoods that surround it, by enhancing access to markets and livestock productivity.
@Mustafe_M_Omer Great examples of what can be achieved when communities, the diaspora, and the private sector work together. These efforts are shaping real change across the region, and we’re proud to support and build on them.
Awbarre Public Library (built by Amoud Foundation) and Sheedheer community hall (built by Awbarre diaspora) are examples of the growing role of the private sector and the diaspora in the development of their region. Many similar initiatives including boarding schools, technical & vocational centers, mental health centers, roads, and water wells, are implemented in many zones of the region since the reform, mostly in a public-private modality.
More than 4 million refugees have fled #Sudan civil war, #UN says
The number of people who have fled Sudan since the beginning of its civil war in 2023 has surpassed four million, U.N. refugee agency officials said on Tuesday, adding that many survivors faced inadequate shelter due to funding shortages.
"Now in its third year, the 4 million people is a devastating milestone in what is the world's most damaging displacement crisis at the moment," U.N. refugee agency spokesperson Eujin Byun told a Geneva press briefing. "If the conflict continues in Sudan, thousands more people, we expect thousands more people will continue to flee, putting regional and global stability at stake," she said.
More than 800,000 of the refugees have arrived in Chad, where their shelter conditions are dire due to funding shortages, with only 14% of funding appeals met, UNHCR's Dossou Patrice Ahouansou told the same briefing. "This is an unprecedented crisis that we are facing. This is a crisis of humanity. This is a crisis of ... protection based on the violence that refugees are reporting," he said.
Many of those fleeing reported surviving terror and violence, he added, describing meeting "a seven-year-old girl in Chad who was hurt in an attack on her home in Sudan's Zamzam displacement camp that killed her father and two brothers and had to have her leg amputated during her escape."

Concluded a training session on the geopolitics of the Horn of Africa and its influence on the Somali Region. The training was delivered to Prosperity Party mid level leadership and functionaries drawn from zones, city administrations, as well as youth and women wings.
The Somali region occupies strategically important place and shares physical borders, cultural and trade links with the countries of Horn of Africa. Because of its strategic location and close proximity to the critical international maritime trade routes, the horn attracts the interests of competing powers vying for influence and dominance.
The training session aimed at improving the understanding of participants on the importance of geopolitics of the horn and how the changing dynamics impact regional security and stability.
