Abiy's government won June elections in a landslide, and will face little opposition in parliament after the only two opposition parties that won seats accepted cabinet-level positions. Incumbent Ahmed Shide returned as finance minister, signalling a determination to stay with Abiy’s course of reforms that includes privatising creaking state enterprises. Demeke Mekonnen, the powerful deputy prime minister and foreign minister, was also asked to remain in his posts.

Asnake Kefale, an assistant professor of politics at Addis Ababa University, said Abiy’s cabinet was an effort to build a coalition. “It shows the willingness of the government to inclusive,” he said.

What a change of heart!!!
