2:27 PM – Jan 26, 2020Relations between Ethiopia, Somalia and Eritrea have continued to grow since PM Abiy rose to power in March 2018.
Since taking over the Prime Minister’s position, Abiy made peace with Eritrea to end years of conflict, a feat that earned him worldwide praise and contributed to his Nobel Peace Prize win in 2019.
