Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn introduces new cabinet ministers

Tigrai Online, Ethiopian News, Nov. 1, 2016

Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn introduced his newly formed cabinet approved by the Ethiopian House of People's Representatives.

The cabinet reshuffling came after Ethiopia was rocked by illegal demonstrations, lawlessness, and public unrest orchestrated by Egypt and Eritrea. The rampant corruption, nepotism, and lack of good governance also contributed to the anti Ethiopia and anti peace forces to misuse the legitimate question of the people.
