𝑱𝒖𝒃𝒂, 12𝒕𝒉 𝑱𝒖𝒏𝒆 2026— Yesterday, 𝑯.𝑬. 𝑫𝒓. 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝑲𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒍, Chief Executive Officer of the Ethiopian Federal Housing Corporation, accompanied by a high-level delegation, paid a historic visit to my office in Juba. The meeting was also attended by 𝑯.𝑬. 𝑬𝒎𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒖𝒆𝒍 𝑨𝒅𝒊𝒍, Governor of Central Equatoria State, and his 𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝑺𝒘𝒂𝒌𝒂, Mayor of Juba City Municipality.

We successfully organized an awareness-raising forum on the Digital Ethiopia 2030 Strategy and the implementation of digital transformation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The forum was held in collaboration with the Institute of Foreign Affairs and colleagues from the Office of the Prime Minister have made insightful deliberations on the Digital Ethiopia Strategy 2030.

During the session, constructive discussions took place on the critical importance of building strong digital capacity in Ethiopia in order to remain an integral part of today’s increasingly competitive global environment. The session brought together senior officials and staff from our Ministry, the institute of Foreign Affairs and the Ethiopian Diaspora Agency.

Under the framework of our Ministry’s three-year Institutional Reform Program (2018–2020 E.C.), we have successfully implemented key digital initiatives, including: Document Management System, Smart Office system, Online document authentication and Power of Attorney services that will have considerable contribution to the realization of the Digital Ethiopia 2030 Strategy. Forums like this play a vital role in further strengthening our institutional capacity and readiness for digital transformation.

The Office of the Prime Minister has issued a press statement reaffirming Ethiopia’s commitment to democratic participation, national development, and public security following the country’s 7th National Election.

According to the statement, more than 54 million Ethiopians registered to vote, while over 50,188 polling stations opened on time and served voters across the country. More than 10,438 candidates from 42 political parties contested seats in the House of Peoples’ Representatives and regional councils, making the election one of Ethiopia’s largest democratic exercises.

The statement rejected claims by some international commentators who described the election as predetermined, calling such views inaccurate and disrespectful to millions of Ethiopians who freely participated in the process. It also cited assessments from African, regional, and domestic observer missions, which recognized the election as a major institutional and administrative exercise.

The Office further highlighted Ethiopia’s development progress, pointing to economic growth, infrastructure expansion, agricultural investment, manufacturing gains, and technological advancement as signs of the country’s ongoing transformation.

At the same time, the statement condemned recent attacks against civilians, particularly in Arsi Zone and surrounding areas, describing them as part of broader attempts to create instability, spread fear, and disrupt democratic processes.

The government stressed that political grievances must be addressed through Ethiopia’s constitutional framework, the National Dialogue process, and democratic institutions, not through violence or attacks on civilians.

“Extremism, however, has no place in Ethiopia!”
