Regarding the Drought: Humanitarian assistance in giving access to nutritious food & immunizations served as a short-term remedy that. Cattle have been severely harmed. Water conservation, market links, and broad cloud seeding are among our long-term alternatives.#PMAbiyresponds

In a war, there is no such thing as a total triumph. When one party wins a combat while the other party is momentarily defeated, this is known as temporary victory. In turn, the defeated party would resurrect and assault. (2/3)
Concerning the Freed Prisoners: We must be cautious not to fall prey to the enemy's scheme. We released the prisoners for three reasons: to bring lasting peace, taking into consideration the overall situation of the prisoners, and to consolidate our victory. (1/3)
Regarding OLF Shene: Although security forces are deployed throughout the area, Shene avoids engaging in direct combat but rather slaughters innocent people. We need to approach the communities that keep them in hiding, hold discussions and work out solutions.

Regarding Special Forces: every region needs police forces. As a result, developing and implementing standard operational procedures for training and practice is the best option. We need to work out a way to maintain the balance so that our country is benefited.

Regarding engagement of competing parties: It's crucial to keep in mind that they have a say in cabinet and government decisions which will continue extensively. The national consultation process will also enable conducive context for further collaboration. #PMAbiyresponds

Corruption: As far as we've come in terms of enhancing environmental ergonomics & ICT in government agencies, we still have a long way to go in terms of preventing corruption. Investigative journalism is encouraged. We are also performing evaluations.
