April 2, 2018, marked a historic political transition in Ethiopia. This is the day Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed assumed office and ushered in a new era of reform. While the journey has been far from smooth, the path has delivered steady and meaningful progress in many areas.
Today, as we commemorate this pivotal anniversary, it is both timely and important to reflect honestly on the achievements realized, the obstacles overcome, and the challenges that lie ahead. Only through such balanced reflection can Ethiopia continue building a more prosperous, inclusive, and stable future.

The @UNEthiopia Head @ozonnia held a productive discussion with @SweinEthiopia 🇸🇪 Ambassador Magnus Lennartsson and his team on strengthening collaboration with development partners to advance 🇪🇹#Ethiopia’s inclusive and sustainable development agenda.
In pursuance of his working visit to #Ethiopia, H.E Mr. Lotfi Boudjemaa, Minister of Justice, Keeper of the Seals, paid a visit to the Federal Supreme Court of 🇪🇹, where he held talks with Mr. Tewodros Mihret Kebede, President of the Federal Supreme Court #Algeria
Plenty of Amharas are helping to organize the upcoming elections in Ethiopia, and many Amharas will be on the ballot, representing either the ruling party or one of several opposition parties. But Senait Senay and her likes from the Amhara supremacist militia Fano have no patience for building a democracy, let alone trying to compete in it. They are reporting these "Amhara protests" against the elections, though this is actually amusing, because it's so amateurishly fake. What is no joke is their declared intention to sabotage the election by killing left and right.
Yes, the international community is taking note.
The longstanding and deeply rooted political ties between Ethiopia and Algeria have gained renewed momentum under the dynamic foreign policy approach of H.E. @AbiyAhmedAli, which has reinvigorated Ethiopia’s commitment to Pan-Africanism.
His official visit to Algeria in 2022 and meeting H.E. @TebbouneAmadjid—underscored the high value Ethiopia places on its strategic partnership with Algeria.
Today, both leaders remain firmly committed to further strengthening this historic relationship, with a growing focus on expanding economic cooperation, trade, and investment to match the depth of their political solidarity.

Eric Meyer, the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Africa is in Ethiopia for High Level Meetings:
H.E. Semereta Sewasew, Ethiopia's State Minister of Finance for Economic Cooperation, recently held high-level talks with Eric Meyer, the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Africa and the Middle East. The meeting took place on April 2, 2026, in Addis Ababa, where Semereta led a senior technical delegation from Ethiopia's Ministry of Finance, while Meyer headed the American side. Discussions focused on strengthening bilateral economic cooperation through Ethiopia’s ongoing macroeconomic reforms, including debt sustainability, fiscal management, tax policy improvements, and better domestic revenue mobilization to ensure stable inflation.
The talks also covered the implementation of Ethiopia’s National Medium-Term Revenue Strategy, which emphasizes integrating tax policy and administration with digital systems. Additional topics included global energy developments and their effects on fuel markets, transportation, and public services, as well as U.S. support for essential imports like fertilizer and medicines. Semereta Sewasew highlighted the positive results from the government’s reform measures and the importance of continued institutional strengthening for long-term development. Meyer commended Ethiopia’s progress in revenue performance and reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to backing the country’s reform agenda and broader development efforts in health, social programs, and capacity building. This engagement reflects deepening ties aimed at supporting Ethiopia’s economic stability amid global challenges.
I am truly honored to be on board the very first @AirAlgerieAh flight following the resumption of the direct route between #Algiers 🇩🇿 and #Addis_Ababa 🇪🇹.
This is a landmark achievement one that enhances regional connectivity, boosts intra-African trade, facilitates the free movement of people, and gives concrete momentum to the African Continental Free Trade Area @AfCFTA (#AfCFTA).
By bridging North and East Africa, this direct link strengthens our continental integration and embodies the #AU's Agenda 2063.
Congratulations to all who made this possible!

The institutions entrusted with our peace and security are more than protectors of order; they are the shield of our peace and the vigilant guardians of our national dignity and interests.
Today, we gathered at the National Security Conference under the theme, “Coordination of Security and Law Enforcement Institutions to ensure National Peace and Security.” It was not merely a meeting, but a reaffirmation of our shared responsibility to safeguard the future of our nation.
Ethiopia stands at a defining crossroads. On one side lie immense opportunities and hard-earned victories; on the other, real and pressing challenges. We have faced internal conflicts, terrorist threats, instability in the Middle East, and shifting geopolitical tides. And yet, Ethiopia has not faltered. It has stood firm resilient, determined, unbroken.
It continues to shine as a beacon of hope for Africa. And that light is sustained by the strength of our security institutions and by the extraordinary sacrifices of its sons and daughters.
In recent years, reform has not only strengthened our institutions, it has transformed them. Challenges have been met with resolve and turned into opportunities. The relative peace we experience today did not come easily. It was secured by modern, capable, and disciplined forces strengthened by technology, empowered by skill, and unified by purpose working day and night, side by side with the Ethiopian people.
This hard-won peace is not an endpoint; it is a foundation. A foundation upon which we are building economic progress, advancing national projects, and shaping a more prosperous future.
Today, our diplomatic and strategic efforts to defend Ethiopia’s national interests have entered a new chapter. But success in this new era demands more coordination, more unity, more shared purpose. Federal, regional, and local institutions must act not in isolation, but in concert, aligned in mission and execution.
The progress we are witnessing in Oromia and Amhara gives us reason for hope. Yet we know that our work is not complete. Until sustainable peace is secured in every corner of our country, we must press forward with greater determination, deeper coordination, and unwavering resolve.
I have full confidence in our security institutions. I believe they will rise to this moment, fulfill their duties with integrity, and ensure that the 7th General Election, to be held at the end of next May, stands as a historic milestone in the strengthening of Ethiopia’s democracy.
Freed from the burdens of the past, and undeterred by the trials of the present, we move forward with clarity, with courage, and with conviction to build a nation worthy of the next generation.
To the brave men and women of our security and law enforcement institutions, who sacrifice, who endure, who stand watch day and night for the survival of this nation, you have our deepest respect.
And to the Ethiopian people, resilient, steadfast, and unyielding when it comes to the vital interests of your country, you remain the true guardians of our national destiny.
Together, we will endure.
Together, we will prevail.
It is a great pleasure to join the inaugural flight of Air Algérie to Ethiopia, following the signing of the Bilateral Air Services Agreement between our two countries last year.
Despite longstanding, strong strategic political and diplomatic relations, the absence of direct air connectivity between our capitals has limited the full realization of economic cooperation between Algeria and Ethiopia. Today’s inaugural flight represents a pivotal milestone in bridging that gap and advancing our shared ambitions—particularly in trade, investment, and broader economic engagement.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to the highest authorities of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria for their commitment and support in launching this important route, connecting Addis Ababa—the heartbeat of Africa—with Algiers, the shining star of the Mediterranean.
I also encourage Ethiopian and Algerian business communities to seize the opportunities created by this long-awaited connection between our two important African capitals.
This new link is not only a connection between destinations, but a bridge between peoples, markets, and futures.
