Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed was sworn for a second five-year term. His inauguration comes as a nearly year-long war in the northern region of Tigray spreads into other parts of the country and watchdogs warn that repressive government practices are on the return. Abiy has served as prime minister since 2018. He was appointed by Ethiopia’s ruling coalition after his predecessor Hailemariam Desalegn stepped down amid widespread protest. Ethiopia’s government is under growing international pressure over its handling of the war in Tigray.
